James Sirius Potter: Birth Story

Telling Teddy

Three days after the gathering at the Burrow, Harry had gone back to work as normal. This left Ginny rather lonely and glum. Ginny got a pregnancy book that she found highly fascinating but scary at the same time as she knew when the time came it would be her giving birth which, still didn't feel real to Ginny

"Extreme vomiting." snorted Ginny, who lay on the red couch, with her feet outstretched lazily, in her fluffy white pyjamas, which she had worn for the entirety of the day. She sipped milk as she read the book. "Well, they got that one right".

All of a sudden, the doorbell chimed. Ginny looked up from her book in surprise. The doorbell was seldom used, almost everyone would just flu in.

Placing her glass on the small circular coffee table, Ginny sighed, as she got up to go and answer the door.

"Hello!" said Padma merrily, once Ginny opened the door. Ginny hugged her and invited her in.

"What brings you here?" Ginny asked her unexpected visitor curiously, as they walked into the living room.

"Nothing much really, I have to give a couple things to you and just wanted to see how you are" smiled Padma,"and how the baby is ", she pointed to Ginny's still quite flat stomach, only Harry and Ginny had noticed the little bump as it wasn't very noticeable.

"Thanks, yes I'm fine and as far as I know the baby is " shrugged Ginny sitting down on the sofa.

"Good good, have you stayed of caffeine, butterbeer ?" Quizzed Padma as she say down on the red chair.

"Yes, Harry and I both are, who knew it would be so challenging. But. I haven't had any real cravings yet" Ginny told her.

Padma swayed a little with a small smile "that's good, normal Now " she jumped up and took 2 velvet envelopes out of it. "I have something's to give for you both". She opened the first one and gave the letter to Ginny, "that's your next appointment a month from today call me if you need to cancel. Second. ". She opened the other envelope while giving the first letter to Ginny, "an invitation Parvati is hosting some sort of reunion slash party sort of thing I'm not really sure but I told her I would be seeing you so I figured why not giving it to you now ?".

"Thanks and how is Parvati ?" Asked Ginny as she read the invitation.

"Oh good good, bonkers as usual her and Dean are still together " answered Padma.

"Dose she know about ..." Said Ginny pointing at her stomach.

"No no I've kept it hush hush, no one else in work knows about it" Padma reassured her "you don't want a media frenzy do you ? This will be the biggest news since it all ended ". They both chuckled a bit.

"I agree, I really don't want this little one to grow up like that, I don't think I will tell him about everything, until the time is right or let him or her find out for themselves " said Ginny solemnly, looking at Padma seriously.

"I imagine that's for the best,but Ginny the baby will find out eventually when they go to Hogwarts everyone will know who they are ....." Padma explained with a little frown.

"I know, I know" admitted Ginny, with an almost worried look.

"Do you think Edward would tell him ? " Padma asked her.

Edward was Teddy, many who did not know him awfully well Padma included in that circle would use Edward.

"Teddy doesn't know either, besides he's to young " Ginny told Padma and Padma nodded.

"How is little Teddy ?" She asked curiously.

"Fine, very spoilt and has to get his own way but fine " laughed Ginny as did Padma.
