As Harry waves to Albus as the train disappears.

"He'll be alright" she said

As the three Potters head back to their house driving back to 12 Grimmauld Place the house they have lived in for 13 years as Lily takes a nap in the back seat. Harry and Ginny talk about their youngest son.

"I remember like it was yesterday" he said

"It was a nice summer night" she said

11 years ago

Ginny climbed into bed, stretching comfortably in the large four poster, pulling up the warm blanket. Her muscles were aching being 9 months pregnant.

“Harry?” he called out. “You coming to bed?”

“I'll be right out, just got James to sleep.” he said from the other room. He comes into their bedroom. Ginny has her hand at the small of her back, rubbing, her forehead wrinkling from the slight frown on her face.

“What's wrong?” Harry asked, concerned.

“Nothing much, just my back has been hurting all day.” she answered.

“Come here,” Harry said, “let me rub it for you.”

“Oh, you are such a good husband.” Ginny grinned, climbing into bed.

She lay down next to him, spooning her back against his front. He begins to nuzzle her neck

“Now, don't get any ideas,” Ginny said, giggling, “You're supposed to be rubbing my back and you're not getting any sex until the baby is born.”

“Aw, Gin,” Harry whined

She rolled over though and wrapped her arms around his neck. Harry leaned in and covered her mouth with his. They kissed and kissed, Harry gently running his hand over the smooth mound where his child lay. Ginny moans as they kissed.

“Oh, Harry, I love you so much,” she whispered.

“I love you, too, Ginny.” Harry whispered back. “Always.”

They settled down, curled up in each other's arms and fell asleep.

Harry woke up later to the sound of Ginny's moans.

“Ginny, what is it, is it the baby?” he asked, worridly.

“Harry, my water just broke,” she said, “and the contractions, they're coming so fast.”

Harry reached over and turned on the lamp at the side of the bed. He looked at Ginny, her face was flushed and sweaty, her fiery red hair matted to her forehead, she was biting her lip in pain.

“Ginny, we have to get to St.Mungos” Harry said, his voice rising in panic. He started to climb out of the bed when Ginny grabbed his arm.

“Harry James Potter, don't you dare go The contractions, they're not stopping, I feel the pressure,...Harry, it's coming, it's coming!” Ginny said, breathless.

Harry threw back the covers and stared at her. She was on her back, her hand rubbing her stomach frantically. He could see the large spot of moisture on the sheet, he knew she was right.

“Harry, please help me” Ginny moaned.

Her voice, needing him so, pushed the panic out of Harry's head and he took a deep breath. He takes a deep breath then exhales.

He pushed her legs up and they fell open so he could see what was going on. He rips her underwear off. His eyes widen almost popping out of his head. His mouth went dry when he saw what he knew was the top of his baby's head coming out. Ginny gave another moan and pushed down, the patch grows larger.

“Okay, Ginny.” Harry said nervously.

He positioned himself between her legs, watching carefully as she began to push.

“Oh Merlin!,” Ginny cried out, “Oh Harry, it hurts!”

“I know it does, just breathe like we praticed, Ginny, it's okay, I'm here.” Harry comforted.

Ginny's hands clutched at the sheets as she curled up and pushed mightily. Harry's eyes grew wide as he saw the baby's head begin to emerge. Ginny gasped as the pain grew stronger and she fell back onto the pillow.

“Come on, love, you've got to keep pushing, it's almost out.” Harry said. “Ginny, push!”

She screamed mightily and pushed up on her elbows, curling up again and pushed. The baby's head came out further and further, Harry's hands gently on either side, helping guide the baby out. Suddenly he could see the baby's face, the head was out.

“Come on, Gin,” Harry said, “push, push, a little more!”

Ginny let out a scream and then pushed as hard as she could. The rest of the little body slid out of her body and Harry held his son in his hands. The baby lets out a mighty wail and Harry stared in wonder as the baby flushed pink all over. He cuts the umbilical cord with his wand.

“Oh my God, Ginny,” Harry said wonderously, “Look at him!”

Ginny leaned up and looked at the small being Harry held in his hands.

“Oh, Harry,” she said, “oh..

Harry wiped him clean and laid him up on Ginny's chest. Tears sting her eyes

"He's so beautiful" she whispered

They both watched him as he quieted down, Ginny wrapped him in her arm, pulling the blanket up, settling him next to her breast. They suddenly looked into each other's eyes.

“I can't believe I did that.” Harry said.

“I cant believe you did that, Harry. You just delivered your son.” Ginny said, smiling.

"He looks a lot like you except the nose, he got that from me" she said

"You have a beautiful nose" he said

An hour later, Mr. and Mrs. Weasley entered 12 Grimmauld Place with Ron and Hermione. Hermione checks on one year old James and surprisingly finds him asleep having slept through the whole ordeal.
