Road to...Love

Second Child

Harry stirred in his sleep when he heard some voices of throwing up. He opened his eyes to find Ginny was not by his side.

He sat up hastily rubbing his eyes and then looked around to find the washroom door open, emitting the same throwing up voices.

"Gin?" He called out but no reply.

He removed his covers rather hurriedly and moved towards the washroom fast.

He entered to see Ginny bent down clutching the wash basin. She constantly struggled to manage her long red hairs at the back.

She threw up again with a jerk and then started breathing heavily.

"Gin??" Harry instantly rushed towards her and held her hairs at the back.

Ginny stayed bent down for few seconds more and then washed her face. Harry handed her the face towel.
"What happened?? How come you got so ill ??" He asked in concern.

"I don't  know what's happening" said Ginny wiping her face.

She handed the towel back to Harry and slowly moved out. Harry placed the towel on its place and held Ginny.

"I am fine. Don't worry" said Ginny seeing the concern on Harry's forehead.

"Whatever it is" said Harry and took her to the bed.

Ginny lied on the bed and Harry tucked himself beside her. Harry kissed her forehead, to which Ginny's lips automatically formed a smile.
He then wound his arm around her and they drifted into sleep peacefully.

Next morning Harry got up to see Ginny all dressed.
"Where are you going?" Asked Harry.

"I am going to the burrow" said Ginny packing her belongings.

"For how many days?" Asked Harry looking at the bag.

"I'll be back tomorrow Harry" said Ginny grinning. She reached him stooped over him and kissed him.
"Freshen up. You smell" she said scrunching her nose and then pressed it with her fingers.

"I'll be back. Wait for me" said Harry and got out of the bed to rush towards the washroom.

"Okay.." said Ginny giggling.

As soon as Harry was about to close the washroom door Ginny felt like throwing up again.
"Harry!!" She shouted and rushed into the washroom pushing him aside.

Harry held back her hair and she threw up.
After assuring she is done, she washed her face and wiped it.
"You don't feel good. Don't go to the burrow. I'll take care of you" Harry said caressing her arms softly.

"Aww my sweet husband, Mum's calling me. I told her about this and she said she might know what's happening to me" said Ginny cupping his face.

I'm coming with you" said Harry pulling her in his arms.

"No" said Ginny at once.

"Why??!!" He asked sighing.

"The burrow is planning your Birthday surprise today" said Ginny slyly. "Don't  tell them I told you" said Ginny fast.

"Forget about my birthday Gin. You-"

"Harry..." Ginny called sternly, "... I am fine. And Mum's there. Don't worry" said Ginny and hugged him.

"Happy Birthday Sweetheart" she wished him.

"Thanks Gin" said Harry with least amount of excitement and hugged her back.
