Title: Career Choices Director’s Cut (prompt: Recovery, Pride, Devotion)
Words: 177
A/N: I like this version better--I think its flow is much smoother
oooooooooo
Ginny was tired. Bone-tired in a way she hadn’t felt since. . . well, since the Final Battle. Who knew that squeezing another person out of her body would be so exhausting? Well, obviously her mother knew. And most other mothers, come to think of it. But she never really expected it to be so hard.
But one look at Harry, holding their son, their child, the beautiful little boy who was the product of their love, made it all worthwhile.
She didn’t think she’d ever seen that look on Harry’s face, except maybe when they had said their vows. The adoration, the pride, and the marrow-deep love in his face made her fall in love with him all over again.
“Gin,” he whispered, quietly, reverently. “Thank you so very, very much.” He didn’t really need to say it--Ginny could see the devotion in his eyes. She smiled up at her two boys, and closed her eyes. Maybe while she was recovering they could discuss her becoming a stay-at-home mum, as even Quidditch had never given her such joy.
oooooooooo
A/N: Sorry for the cliffhanger -(posting the short version then waiting 'til today for the long version) --although it seems to have helped in the number of reviews I got. . . Fits between “Of Course It Is” and “Some Things Shouldn’t Sparkle”. Oh, and here’s the shorter version.
