Chapter 11: Babies and the PWWSG

Ginny POV:

It had been a week since we told my family that we were having a baby, and today was my first 'Pregnant Weasley Women Support Group' meeting, as Audrey called it. I was about to apparate, then I remembered I wasn't supposed to apparate when pregnant because the baby could have a chance of splinching, so I grabbed some floo powder and hopped into the fireplace.

"There you are, Ginny!" Mum said as I stepped out of the fireplace.

I looked around the room. It seemed the same as it always had been. My eyes caught the clock on the wall, and I saw that just Mum and Dad's hands were on there now. I looked back to the middle of the room where Mum, Fluer, Audrey, and Angelina were sitting on chairs. Mum motioned to an open chair and I sat down.

"Welcome to your first Pregnant Weasley Women Support Group!" Audrey exclaimed. I saw Angelina roll her eyes and I giggled.

"So, what exactly do we do here?" I asked, watching Fleur stroke Victorie's hair; who was trying to sit on her lap, but couldn't get on because of Fleur's baby bump. I hoped that one day- maybe even soon- I would have a little girl to do that to. I didn't really like Fleur at first, but now I look up to her, and I hope that I can be just as good of a Mum as she is.

"Well we talk, and drink tea, but most of the time I'll be giving you girls advice for when you have your kids," Mum responded as she waved her wand. A moment later, a tray with a teapot, cups, and some other things came floating out of the kitchen.

I decided that I will try not to be too bored, but soon I realise that it's pretty fun. Well except for the name; that was pretty cheesy, and long.

"So, how are you girls doing with your pregnancies?" Mum asks as she takes a sip of her tea, "Any morning sickness? Headaches? Cravings? Going to the loo more often?" I could tell her inquiries were directed mostly at me, and little towards Angelina and Audrey, but not aimed at Fluer because she is already five and a half months pregnant.

Angelina nods and says, "I've been having cravings for Cockroach Clusters and Blood-flavoured lollipops!" She groans, "And George keeps insisting that our baby is a vampire! It's killing me!" We all laugh and Angelina pulls a cluster out of her pocket and pops it into her mouth. I personally felt like gagging as she ate it, but it didn't want to make her feel embarrassed or anything.

Audrey piped up and said, "Don't worry Angelina, I've been having the weirdest cravings! Some type of muggle food called squirty cream, and I put it on top of chicken! I honestly don't know how I can eat it because it just looks so disgusting!" We all laugh again and I feel like this won't be so bad after all. "I just feel bad for Percy! He has to deal with me like this! And he's going to the muggle store every single day almost just to get me more chicken and squirty cream!" We all break into laughter again and Victorie seems like she doesn't know what is going on.

"I haven't had any cravings yet, but I had morning sickness on the day that I found out I was pregnant. I've also had some headaches, but that may be from being woken up everyday by Harry leaving for work. For some reason I haven't had trouble falling asleep, but I've been sleeping very lightly recently." I said.

"Maybe that's because you aren't used to sleeping in the same bed with someone," Mum suggested.

"Maybe," What she said made sense, but I didn't think that was the reason, I had always been a deep sleeper, but that changed a while ago and I don't think it was Harry's, or the baby's fault, "I partially think it's because of quidditch, my body may just be expecting to wake up to get to the early morning practices because that's what it's used to." I know that I lied, but I didn't want Mum to worry about me.
