"Mummy sure does love sleeping, doesn't she? Well frankly, I think that she needs to wake her sleepy butt up."

I heard an all-too familar voice on a cold February morning, and new instantly what was coming. Teddy Lupin was about to set out daughter on my head as a form of an alarm clock. I heard Ella cooing and blowing raspberries, and sure enough, I felt pressure on my head. There was a baby sitting on me.

"How did I know that was going to happen?" I asked, opening my eyes to see a shirtless Teddy sitting towards me, smiling and holding our baby in place.

Teddy laughed. "Did you hear that, Ella? Mummy knew it was going to happen!" He took her off my head and sat her in his lap before planting a kiss on my forehead. "Well good morning, sunshine. How did you sleep?"

I smiled. "I slept lovely. Thank you for getting up with her last night. It was a nice change." I sat up in bed and pushed my hair out of my face. Looking at the clock, I realized it was 10:04. I got to sleep til 10? That hasn't happened in what seemed like ever.

Ella had come home from the hospital the following day after I had her. She's currently 2 months old, and growing at the speed of a Nimbus 7000. Her blonde hair is still in tact, and sadly she shows no signs of being a Metamorphmagus. Her eyes are a darker shade of blue, and she was the most beautiful baby I've ever seen. She sleeps a good 4 hours at a time, only waking up once to be fed, and usually going back to sleep right after. Teddy is more than excellent with her, and she loves spending time with him. Teddy is still on Puddlemere, and it's still Quidditch season, so he doesn't get to see her as often as he would like, but he makes sure to make play time with her. I put a hold on my classes until this upcoming fall, not wanting to leave Ella with anybody while I studied. Every now and then I did work at 's, but for the most part I stayed home with Ella, watching her grow day by day.

"I'm off today. What are we doing?" Teddy asked, playing with Ella's hair.

I thought for a minute. "Nothing that I know of. I was going to do some shopping for a certain holiday, if you know what I mean." I winked.

"What holiday?" Teddy asked. I stared. "OH! Valentine's Day! Right! Yes, you go right along and go shopping for me."

My eyes rolled. "Don't be a prat. Will you watch her just for a bit? I'll only be gone for a couple hours or so." He nodded. "Now, come here chunky butt!" Ella smiled and I grabbed her before walking out of the room, Teddy following me.

I made my way into Ella's room and laid her on her changing table. "Of course, Daddy didn't change your nappy when you got up this morning did he? No, no he didn't." I looked over my shoulder and gave Teddy 'the look', who was standing in the doorway.

"She was crying when she woke up, so I figured I wouldn't make her even MORE mad and change her nappy. Plus it was cold in here, I didn't want her to be cold."

I laughed and changed Ella out of her dirty nappy, into a new one. I then put her in some pink leggings and a white long sleeved shirt with a heart on it. I kissed her forehead and breathed in. She smelled like roses, she always smelt like roses.

"Now now, don't be stingy with her. You have shopping to do." Teddy said, walking over and holding his hands out for Ella. I smiled and passed her on. "In the shower you go!" Teddy screamed, before slapping my backside. Prat.

I met up with Dom and Roxanne in Diagon Alley around 12, only to find my sister completely bouncing off the walls with excitement. Which, if you knew Dom, would not be surprising at all. But today, today was a special occasion. Dom was excited over a boy. Now mind you, Dom has had boyfriends in the past. But Dom didn't always treat them..with respect I guess you could say. She's a very bossy person, and she always had to be telling her boyfriends what to do, when they needed to do it and how. She often beat on them too, which never turned out too well. Poor Blake Turnthill will probably never be the same.

"And he's just so..so..I can't even explain it, Vic!" Dom exclaimed, basically bouncing as we walked down the Alley.

Roxanne laughed. "I can't believe this is happening. Dom, you're not a giddy girl. What is going on? Are you confunded?" Her and I both laughed.

"I think it's adorable! What's his name and what does he do?" I asked, interested to the fullest.

She smiled. "His name happens to be Ethan Patford. He graduated with Teddy, actually. He's studying to be an Auror, and he happens to be tall, dark and handsome."

Roxanne and I giggled like a couple of first years. "Have you guys went on a date yet?" I asked.

"Just grabbed some lunch real quick after training for a few hours, and then he asked me out this Saturday."

The giggled returned.

"Well you're going, right?" I asked. Dominique nodded, her Weasley blush showing a bit. Somehow, my sister senses were telling me she was nervous. "Come over before you meet up with him, I'll help you get ready." She smiled, and I felt accomplished.

"So how is my little baby Lupin doing?" Dom asked, changing the subject.

We got caught up in talking and gossiping as we walked, and finally found our way to the store we had been looking for, "Bashful Banshees". Now, this was a store I never ever thought I would find myself going into, better yet with my sister and cousin. It was indeed, a lingerie store. I fought back the urge to giggle and turn red, and made my way through what seemed like a million other witches.

"Do you even have any idea of what you want?" Dom asked, touching outfits as we walked by.

I thought for a minute. "Nothing too over the top. I would feel incredibly weird wearing something too over the top knowing I just bore a child two months ago."

Roxanne laughed. "You're ridiculous. Have you guys picked a wedding date yet?"

Oh, Merlin. The one subject I constantly hate talking about. Yes, Teddy and I were still engaged. Yes, we have plans to get married. It's a weird subject with Teddy though, it seems like everytime I bring it up to him, he either doesn't feel like 'getting into plans' with me, or he says he's in no rush. Me, on the other hand, would marry him anyday. I just feel weird saying that to him, knowing he doesn't exactly feel the same. So for now, there is no date set.

"No, not yet. But we're thinking Fall." I lied, just to shut her up. "Oh, this one is cute." I said, touching a tiny, lacy pink outfit.

"Teddy is going to die." Dom said, laughing.

A laugh escaped my lips. "Teddy is really going to die. My 6 weeks of no sex ended about two weeks ago, and we've been too busy to do anything. So really, it's been over two months. He's probably going to die."

All of us busted out in laughter, and I ended up purchasing the pink outfit. We grabbed a late lunch from The Bubbling Cauldron, and parted ways around 4. I apparated home to find Teddy and Ella both napping on the couch. I stopped and stared for a minute or two, taking in just how perfect they both looked. Putting my bags in the bedroom closet and changing into pajamas, I went back out into the living room and picked Ella up off of Teddy's chest. She whined a bit for me waking her up, and then full on started to cry.

"Oh, you're back." Teddy said, still half asleep and rubbing his eyes.

"Indeed I am, and somebody is very hungry." I walked into the kitchen and heated up a bottle with my wand, sat, and started to feed Ella. "What did you two do today?"

Teddy sat up and stretched. "First, we went and visited Great Grandmum Andromeda. And then we came back here, ate some mashed potatoes, and laid on the floor for awhile and talked some baby talk."

I laughed. "Very serious baby talk, mind you. How was your day?"

"Well I found out that it IS possible for my sister to be giddy over a boy, and I bought your gift."

Teddy sat up, and started pacing around the living room, looking extremely serious and sort of scared.

"Are you okay?"

He stopped pacing and looked at me, placing a hand on his chin. "Did you say that-correct me if I'm wrong- but, that Dominique is giddy? Over a boy?"

I laughed obnoxiously hard, in which Ella eyeballed me. "You are ridiculous. Yes, she is. They have a date Saturday, and she's coming over so I can teach her how to properly dress."

"Cause Merlin knows if she were to dress herself she'd probably end up in combat boots and something obnoxiously bright."

We talked for a bit longer, I finished feeding Ella and we lounged around the house for a few hours before I realized it was her bed time. I gave her a bath, Teddy and I put her to sleep, and went into our bedroom. I felt Teddy's eyes on me as I took my earrings out.

"What?" I asked, looking at him.

He smiled, and his hair flared up light pink. "You look awfully pretty."

I gave him a smile back. "And you are adorable." I put my wand on the side table and got into bed.

"I missed you today." Teddy said, throwing his shirt off and putting pajama pants on before turning off the light.

"I missed both of you today. I always feel weird being without her now."

He got into bed, facing me. "I know what you mean. When I'm at work I literally count down the minutes until I can leave."

My lips placed kisses across his forehead as my hands travled through his still-pink hair. "Teddy?"

"Victoire?" He asked, half laughing.

A lump formed in my throat. "When are we going to get married?" No answer. "I mean, I know you're not in a rush or anything, but I can't explain it. I feel like I would marry you any second of any day but yet it's almost like you're not that into it. If you're not I mean I can give you the ring ba-"

"Stop talking all that rubbish." Teddy said, cutting me off. "Just because I'm in no big rush doesn't mean that I wouldn't marry you within the next 10 minutes. The only reason I haven't really pushed the issue lately is because we've both been busy. Work, Ella, cleaning the house, trying to visit everybody. I figured you didn't want more work ontop of that."

I kissed his nose. "I understand." We lay in silence for awhile, before I spoke up again. "October, let's make it October."

"October is fine with me, love. That gives us 8 months to plan it." I smiled. "Oh my, Victoire, are you being giddy? Over me?"

I attempted to straighten my smile out. "Absolutely not, that is ridiculous. Why would you accuse me of such a thing?"

And then he kiss attacked me.

Ahh, yes it is here!

I was actually intending to do this much faster, but I got caught up in life I suppose, lol. I got a job at a Pediatrician's office, which keeps me busy 5 days a week, and during the weekend I try to visit family. So, I literally had to squeeze in time to get this done.

I have lots and lots of ideas for this story, and it should be a lot more emotional than "Oh, Baby", but overall the same concept.

Happy reading! (:
