Drabble: Lucky

Harry couldn’t take his eyes off his beautiful wife. He leaned back on the sofa marvelling how radiant Ginny looked as she chatted to Hermione and Luna, her pregnant belly on full display.

“Sickle for your thoughts?”

Harry looked to see Ron joining him on the sofa.

“I’m the luckiest person to be alive,” Harry said, returning his gaze to Ginny.

“I guess that means I’m the second luckiest,” Ron said, watching Hermione with a lovestruck expression on his face.

For now, Harry was content to watch his wife and count down the days, looking forward to becoming a father.

He’s kicking

“Harry! He’s kicking!”

Harry’s eyes snapped open as Ginny shuffled next to him. He made a grunt and found his glasses on the bedside table.

“Just now,” Ginny said, taking his hand and putting it over her swelling belly. “Here.”

Harry felt it; A gentle kick from the baby growing inside Ginny. Harry felt a strong surge of love at that moment for Ginny and the baby. They were his family. The reason he got out of bed every day.

Harry couldn’t contain his grin and he beamed at Ginny who beamed back, looking more beautiful than ever before.

“He kicks just like his Mum,” Harry said, brushing a stray strand of hair from Ginny’s face.

“I don’t know,” Ginny said slowly, wincing a bit as the baby kicked again. “I think he takes after you.”

Harry laughed as the baby kicked again. He had been very busy at work lately and didn’t have much time to see Ginny.

The baby had been growing a lot and she needed help to get up. Mrs Tonks had been going around with Teddy to help her.

He longed for the nights when it was just him and Ginny. The due date for the baby was fast approaching and Harry was getting very nervous about being a father. But he wouldn’t miss those moments for the world.
