Chapter 15

Let's Go Home

The waiting room was silent. Hermione was crying before she even turned around. When she turned and faced the swinging doors everything around her stood still. "George," she whispered. There he was. Her George. Tears ran down his face as he locked eyes with his wife.

Before she could think George was in front of her. "Mione," he reached his hand up and brushed her hair out of her face. Hermione reached her hand up and placed it on his cheek. His green eyes sparkled the way they always did. Hermione could feel all his love for her as she looked into his eyes.

"George," she whispered. "You came back to me, you came back."

George didn't say a word. Instead he bent his head down and brought his lips to hers. Everything seemed to fade away. Hermione wrapped her arms tightly around him and kissed him back hard. Finally she pulled away and George held her close to him.

"I told you I'd come back," he smiled, resting his head on hers. "Nothing could keep me away," he kissed her forehead.

"I love you. I love you," Hermione hugged him tighter. "Don't ever leave me."

George pulled away from her. "Never again."

That's when Hermione realized the rest of the family standing behind her. As much as she loved George he had a family too, who missed him just as much as she did. Stepping back from him she let Ginny rush into her brother's arms. As George hugged his sister Hermione freed Mrs. Weasley's arms of Arianna so she could hug her son.

When Mrs. Weasley finally let George go Hermione felt a smile creep onto her face as Ron stepped toward his brother. George smiled too and placed his hand out. Ron took it and shook it. "I'm glad you're back," Ron grinned.

"Thanks. That means a lot Ron," George said letting his hand go. Peace finally grew between them. Their past arguments didn't matter anymore.

Ron nodded and looked over his shoulder at Hermione. Arianna was beginning to stir in her arms. Her eyes fluttered open. Ron stepped away from George leaving his path to Hermione clear. The Weasleys and Potters stood together by the doors as Hermione carried Arianna towards George.

George looked at Hermione wide eyed. "Mione," his voice caught.

"This is Arianna," Hermione said handing the baby over to George. George's face lit up the way it used to whenever they talked about the baby. "Arianna?" his head shot up again realizing the name Hermione had spoken.

Hermione nodded wiping the tears from her eyes. A huge smile spread across George's face as he looked back down at the baby. "Arianna. Hi darling. Hello. Do you know who I am?"

Arianna gurgled and made a squeaky noise. "Is that daddy?" Hermione asked, stepping up beside her husband. Arianna smiled and made another squeaky noise.

"She knows who I am," George exclaimed excitedly. "Right baby? You know I who I am. Huh?" he bent down and kissed the small girl's forehead.

Holding on to her tightly George bent down and placed a soft kiss on Hermione's lips.

"Erm," a voice split through the room, causing the two to pull away. "Maybe you'll want to finish this at home," Fred laughed.

"Fred," Mrs. Weasley lightly smacked her son's arm.

"Well I mean, we are in a public place," Fred smirked. "And quiet honestly as much as I missed you George, you snogging your wife is something I'm really not interested in watching."

George laughed. "Just because you could never get a girl doesn't mean you can stop me from snogging mine."

Fred made a pretend retching sound. "Well, if not for my sake, than for my niece's."

"What are you talking about?" Ginny's voice interjected.

"Poor girl isn't even a year old and she already going to end up with a baby brother," Fred laughed wickedly. "OUCH," he stopped as Ginny's fist made contact with his arm harder than his mother's had. "Harry help a guy out. Control you wife."

Harry smirked. "No thanks. I'm not quite in the mood to start an argument with her. She can be quite vicious."

Ginny glared at her husband but than smiled and gave him a peck on the cheek. Fred pretended to crack a whip. George, Hermione and the rest of the family giggled.

"Well, I don't know about you but I think it's about time we go home. All of us," Mr. Weasley took his wife's hand in his.

"Meet you guys at home," Mrs. Weasley gushed and with a POP, she and Mr. Weasley were gone.

"See you," Ginny and Harry waved and then POP, they were gone too.

Ron followed suit and with a last kissing noise Fred apparated away. Hermione looked up at George. This wasn't a dream. Holding Arianna tightly in his arm George wrapped the other one around Hermione's waist. "Let's go home."

Hermione gave him another quick kiss and than POP. The hospital room stood empty. George and Hermione were finally home.
