It had been a stressful day at work and he was even more happy to be home. Now that he knew a family would be at home, waiting for his arrival. As soon as Bill opened the door a little blonde girl ran towards him and hugged his leg.
"Daddy, Daddy! You're home!"
She squeaked and jumped up and down, not letting go of his leg. He picked her up and poked her nose. Victoire continued to giggle and squeak.
"'ow was your day, William?"
Fleur leaned against the frame and watched her husband with their daughter. She was relaxed, even though her belly was swollen for a third time. He stepped closer and greeted her with a soft peck before he put Vicky down.
"Couldn't be better, now that I'm back and my beautiful, pregnant wife and daughters are here."
She blushed and turned around.
"I'm not beautiful, I'm fat...! 'ow can you make fun out of me like this?!"
His wife huffed and left the hallway. Vicky followed her.
"Fleur, come on...! I didn't mean it like this! And you are beautiful, I told you that you were when you were pregnant with Vic and Dom and you still are beautiful! Nothing changed this...not even your belly.."
It was the same but he was used to it now. Her first pregnancy was worse. She even left their home and stayed with his mother for a couple of days. Bill followed her and sat down next to her. Victoire was on her other side and drank a bottle of milk, not caring about what was going on. Fleurs first reaction was to turn away but he already knew that and so he pulled her into a tight hug. Of course the curse breaker took care not to hurt his first son. He pressed a soft kiss against her temple and began to stroke through her soft hair. Her resistance died down immediately.
"You told me the same the first months after I got the scars...and the scars will stay forever. You are pregnant for only nine months. And this is our child you're carrying. How could you ever be ugly with my child...?"
He whispered in her ear and leaned his forehead against her temple. It had been a rough day at work and he did not want to stress Fleur or sleep on the couch again. A soft sigh escaped her lips and she simply nodded. She hated to admit that he was right.
"Okay, you're right. 'ow about I make tea and you take a shower?"
It sounded perfect so he nodded and let go of her to mess up her hair. He had everything a man could wish for and he would never let any of it go.
