Chapter Twenty-Four: Mothers Part Two

Harry was sitting in his bed staring at the wall when Mrs Weasley came walking into the room.

"Hello Harry dear, how are you today?" she said, bustling over to him in quite a cheerful mood. However she picked up on his despondent attitude almost immediately and quietened down a bit. "What's the matter dear, you don't look to happy?"
"It's nothing Mrs Weasley."

"Oh come on Harry, you can't fool me, I'm practically your mother. What's going on inside that head of yours?"

"Nothing much really, I was just thinking. A guy named Alan Turner visited me yesterday from Gringotts, and he told me that all my assets had been distributed according to my will. I was just thinking that it means I'll probably have to get a job and have to rely on the charity of others for the time being. And how am I supposed to support Ginny and our growing family if I have to start from scratch?"
"Oh Harry, you're worrying about money? There is no need. Remus hasn't touched your properties and I'm sure when he gets back from Romania he'll have no problems with giving it back to you. And I know that we've used only the tiniest amount of the money you left us, as we've no need for so much. We'd be happy to give it all back under your name!"

"Oh no, Mrs Weasley I couldn't possibly ask you to do that. I'm no Indian Giver. You keep it."

"There will be no buts about this, Harry. You'll take it back and that's final. Stop worrying about measly things such as money!" Mrs Weasley laughed. Harry's face suddenly sported a grin too.

"Mrs Weasley, - " she cut him off.

"Molly, call me Molly."

"Sorry. Molly. What would I do without you? I don't know if I've ever told you this but I do love you, you're the closest thing I have to family and I really do appreciate everything you've done for me."

Tears glistened in Molly's eyes and she hastily wiped them away. "Oh, Harry dear. There really is no need to tell me, I've always known, but still, it does warm my heart to hear you say that."

Harry grinned and leaned over and gave her a big hug. "Thank you. For everything."

Later that day found Harry and Ginny sitting in Harry's hospital room together, just spending time together and talking about the past, the future, everything to get to know each other better again. There had been a lot of time lost between them and they were trying to recover everything they could about each other and repair their relationship. After a lull in conversation, Ginny remembered something she'd been meaning to talk to Harry about.

"Harry, I almost forgot. There are a lot of people wanting to see you. Like Hagrid, McGonagall, all my brothers, all the old order members, and even Snape, although he wont admit it, but they've been staying away to give you time to recover. They figured too many people at once would overwhelm you. I was just thinking do you want to see some of them? Like I know you're being let out of hospital in two days, so I wasn't sure if you'd want them to come see you here or wait until you're back at the Burrow?" The decision had been made that Harry would come stay at the Burrow for the time it took him to get up and going again as Ginny was there and he could be with her if he was to stay at there instead of Ron and Hermione's.

"Yeah, I'd like to see them. I don't really mind if they want to come see me before I get out of hospital, but only a few of them yeah?"

"Sure, I'll let them know."

There was a slight pause in conversation as they both pondered what they had been discussing.

"Ginny?"

"Hmm?"

"I was just wondering about Remus. Why's he in Romania? Molly mentioned it this morning when she was here."

"Oh! No one has told you yet?"

"No."

"Oh, well in Romania they are developing a cure for lycanthropy, and it's all in the testing stages and nothing is certain, but Remus agreed to be part of their test subjects in hope that they will find a cure. He sent word when he found out that you were alive that he wishes he could be here for you but because he's under test conditions he can't leave because they need to monitor him. Isn't it great, Harry? Remus might be cured from being a werewolf!"

"Yeah, it's wonderful news! I just wonder why nobody told me this earlier?"

"We must've forgotten with all the commotion, with you and then Iason…" She drifted off. She was really, really worried about Iason and his safety. Every day that passed with no news on his whereabouts was another day that he was in harms way and she worried to all ends about him. Harry knew this and he worried as well at the same intensity. But even more, Harry was upset that he could do nothing about it. He was up and walking and he was physically fine, but he couldn't do a thing until he got out of hospital. Two more days and then he would be able to do what he wanted.

Suddenly Ginny was crying in worry over Iason. Harry reached over and pulled her up to sit next to him on his bed and he pulled her into a tight embrace. He rubbed her back in small circles and soothed away her worries for the time being. Their love was growing stronger again and the more time they spent together the closer they became.

When Ginny's sobs subsided, Harry released her a bit and she looked up into his eyes.

"I love you, Harry."

"And I love you too."

And with that they were kissing. It still amazed Ginny at how much he had recovered and that he was OK with kissing her. But she realised it would be a while before he would be able to do anything more than that.

When they finally broke away, it was to find that Harry's hand had come to rest on her stomach, and was gently rubbing the spot where her new baby was supposed to be.

"Have you thought of any names yet?" he asked her.

"No, not really. I was hoping you would have some input into that as well?"

"Of course, that is if you want me to."

"Yes, I do."

"Good." He kissed her again, but this time just a small chaste kiss to the lips, and then he pulled her into his arms again and lay back on the bed.

"You know, I've never even see a picture of Iason. I barely know what he looks like."

Ginny let a small laugh escape her lips. "He looks just like you. Imagine yourself at age four."

"Hang on. Some time last week before Iason was taken, did you and Iason come visit me here?"

"Yes, at one stage yes we did. I was going to tell you and show you Iason face to face, but my resolve weakened and I couldn't do it."

"So I didn't dream that little boy on my bed who looked nearly exactly the same as me?"

"No, at one stage, Iason was sitting on your bed. He must've woken you slightly. I didn't even realise you knew we had been there." She laughed slightly again, just soft little chuckles. "So you see, you have met your son, if only briefly."

"Hmmm yeah."

"Harry, I'm really sorry I didn't have the nerve to tell you before Iason was taken. It was unfair of me to keep him from you. It meant that you didn't get to meet him, and that if anything happens to him you never will…" She burst out in tears again.

"Shhh, Ginny, it's OK. Nothing bad is going to happen to him, you'll see. He'll be just fine. It's OK. We'll get him back, I promise you that."

Ginny sighed and snuggled into his embrace. "I hope you're right Harry. I don't know what I'll do if anything happens to him. I love him so much."

Harry smiled at her and made a silent promise to himself that nothing would stand between him and getting his son back.

AN: Hello all! I promised I would replace this chapter with an actual chapter rather than an AN and now I finally have. I've been sick this past week and off school so I decided that I would do something with my time and actually write this story. Even though I have a Maths assignment due tomorrow that I haven't started but that doesn't matter, I'm failing that anyway. OK so I know this is short, but the good thing is that I have restarted to write this and that I will start to update more frequently again! So hope you enjoyed it.
