Angelina/George fluff I think?

George Weasley had been very happy recently: which was up to eight months straight so far, which was the record for after the war. He, and his wife, Angelina, were about to have a baby! It was the final step to making their family complete. At the moment, the couple were working out names for the unborn child.
Something about the whole thing though was making George quite emotional and he was struggling to not cry; instead, he looked sad and was threatening to go back to being depressed and sad again. It was times like this he missed Fred.
They were supposed to be thinking up names for children together with the wives! It was not meant to be like this. He was angry about how cruel fate was: why did they take him away?! It was just not right. Not for George, not for Fred, and not for Alicia, either. They were very close and probably would have married.
Angelina observed her husband carefully as she thought up good names. He was very quiet, and there was a wave of sadness over him. She suspected he was thinking about Fred: he had never gotten over Fred's death, and he got sad even thinking about him.
It was normal behaviour for losing someone, especially for were twins are involved, but she was not happy about it but did not want to upset him by saying something she shouldn't when she was trying to make him feel better.
"How about Gideon?" Angelina suggested. They both had a relative called that, so it was a nice idea. And their relative was either dead or estranged.
"No," George sad solemnly, shaking his head.
"Hibiscus?" Angelina said, going for a girls' name instead. Again, George shook his head. "Augh!" she cried.
"How about Holly?" George quietly suggested.
"Alright, that sounds good," Angelina said. She quite liked the name and she did not want to discourage George from making suggestions. She added it to the list she had been making, which currently had two girls' names on it, now three. They were Jackie and Rowena.
"Jacinta?" Angelina asked, and George nodded for that one.
"John?"
"No," George shook his head.
Angelina sighed: she was not having much luck with male baby names. She had a few girl names which she had suggested, and George had thrown a few in, but no luck with boys.
"Albus? Arnold?" she asked.
"As a last resort," George begrudgingly agreed, deciding even if it was not what he thought they should have they needed a last resort. He was not sure what he wanted in the way of names, which annoyed him.
"Yay!" Angelina cried, writing them both down. But she still needed to find the agreeable first option. She thought she would try another girls' name first.
"Mathilda? I have always wanted a daughter called that," Angelina asked hopefully, remembering that.
"Alright," George nodded.
"Great!" Angelina cried. Then she went into deep thought. Then she had an idea! "You still miss Fred, don't you?" she asked.
George nodded. "Well, how about we try and call our child Fred if it's a son? Then Rosemary for a girl: remembrance," Angelina suggested.
"I like that," George said, smiling weakly.
"We will never forget him, I promise," Angelina said, leaning forward and touching George's arm.
"No, we will not," George said, smiling a bit stronger, and he became a tiny bit happier.
