When Viktor had left for work that morning, Alicia had snuck back into bed. Working evenings meant that she would be back too late for it to suit the early hour at which Viktor had to get up the next morning, but she still did get up, wanting to spend the time with him she had missed out on the night before. Of course, that was why she had slipped back into bed, for another short hour of sleep, so she could get all the things done during the day, before she had to go back in for another evening shift. Thankfully, the shift tonight, was the last evening shift in a long time; Alicia had made sure of that, by pointing out the disproportionally large number of late shifts she had had lately. Hopefully, it would last longer than the 4 weeks that had already been scheduled out, taking her evenings into consideration.

There weren’t a whole lot she needed to get done today; a quick trip to the market to refill the cooler – though technically Sasha could do that, Alicia just preferred to know what was there – and then another trip to her house for a few more changes of clothes and some of her sandals. Gods, how long had it been since she had been at the house? A few weeks, unless you counted the brief visits to pick up some things she needed at Viktor’s. Not that she minded it, quite the contrary. Getting to spend this much time with him felt like a luxury, that she couldn’t see herself ever living without. Oh! And she was having lunch with Ginny today.

Alicia woke up again later in the morning, and after a quick shower, she headed to the market. She took her time, going by each vendor to make sure that she got the best of what they had. Just before noon, she paid for the last of her purchases, cast a stasis Charm on the bag before she shrunk it and set her direction towards The World’s End. Finding a place in the shade, she ordered an iced tea – a drink she hadn’t appreciated the value of until she had ended up living in this tropical wonderland – and picked up her datapad. Apparently Viktor was on his lunch break too, and while she waited for Ginny, Alicia didn’t see any harm in messaging back and forth with him, even if they were spending as much time together as possible.

There had been an accident at the portal clearing during the morning group transport, a young, heavily-pregnant woman went into labor as soon as she exited the portal and Ginny had already been at the Command Center having tea with Kingsley when the call came through. It had been a harrowing hour of stress, with the umbilical cord caught around the babies neck, but Ginny had managed to work it free using both Muggle and magical techniques. In the end, there was a new, healthy baby boy on the settlement named Dorian after the settlement guard who had helped Ginny deliver him.

She was still a little harried when she arrived at the World's End, tapping out a message in reply to the Medical Center with some last minute details they wanted on the baby. Not bothering to shrink her 'pad, Gin tucked it under her arm as she spotted Alicia in the shade on the deck and hurried over to her, flopping down in the seat opposite. "You'll never believe the morning I had," she sighed heavily, lifting a hand to signal the server.

Ginny was grateful that she didn't have something to drink or Alicia's quip would have been met with choking and sputtering. As it was, she coughed and shook her head, trying hard not to blush or laugh, neither of which was doing much good.

"I daresay that would have been more amusing, at least," she managed after a brief moment to collect her wits. Having Godric Gryffindor show up in the portal clearing basically let everyone release their expectations of 'normal' when it came to the portal.

"No, I was having tea with Kings when an alert came through from the portal. A woman in this morning's group went into labor upon exiting and the baby was in distress. Umbilical cord wrapped around his little neck," Ginny sighed, pausing when the server arrived and she ordered a pint.

Brushing her hair back, Ginny took a moment to tie it up in a rough ponytail. She nodded at Ali's concern. "He's doing fine. I spotted it almost right away and one of the blokes from security helped hold the mother still while I released the cord. Thankfully, it wasn't tight yet."

"She named the baby after him - Dorian," she chuckled, shaking her head. "I admit, I was nervous at first but Trisha's coaching kicked in. There wasn't any time to get someone else from the med center anyway. It was just pure luck that I was the closest one. But we got mum and baby bundled off to the medical center and settled in. They'll stay overnight for observation."

"Besides making an arse of myself with Professor Lupin? Not much, really. I have tea with Kingsley about once a week. Mum says it keeps him from working himself to death. He seems to enjoy the company, though I'm not sure his assistant, Toby, would agree," Ginny explained with a soft laugh.

"Thanks," she said, taking a small sip of the refreshing drink. "Speaking of Godric. You have to tell me all about him!"

"I'm pretty sure I gaped at him when he first hopped out of King's Jeep. Then I ended up calling him Sir and Professor and rambling. I'm pretty sure it was on level with you and Charlie. I don't know about King's or Godric," Ginny replied sheepishly. She was surprised to find out Alicia didn't know Kingsley better. "Really? Oh, he's very friendly, and smart. Mum and Dad have been friends with him for ages and ages."

Ginny picked up her own menu, looking over a couple of new dishes and picking one of them. She liked to try the new concoctions that Lisa came up with. So far, they'd all be quite tasty. She put the menu on the edge of the table, just as a server approached with her drink and took their orders. "Tall and nice voice. That's not very descriptive," she teased, laughing. "How in Merlin's name did you insult each other?"

"Yeah, 1993, and yeah, exactly as I remember. He was even wearing that tweed jacket that he always wore," Ginny agreed with a sheepish grin. "Does it make me a bad person that I wasn't thinking of Tonks? I mean, he doesn't even know her, not yet." She paused for a moment, tilting her head slightly. "Oh, he was. I think that's what made it worse for me. He was so understanding. Except when I mentioned Sirius."

"Mmm, like the portrait but younger? Wow. He must be dead gorgeous!" she exclaimed, her eyes widening. Now she was determined to run into this man, her Founder, if only to catch a glimpse. Ginny listened to Alicia's tale, laughing softly. "Oh my, I give, I give. You still hold the title of most embarrassing. At least until I meet him, I'm sure. Merlin, yes, that's descriptive enough. He's everything I've always thought he would be and more!"
