Hello again everyone! I'm sorry this has taken so long to write, I have been uninspired for such a long time and I didn't want to write something just for the sake of it. I will warn you now, if you haven't read "Share My Love", a lot of this won't make sense. If you have, there is more of our dearly beloved couple to come! I hope you enjoy it and please review once you've read, however, if you don't like the idea of male/male relationships and guys having children then don't read and if you do and you flame then I will think of you as a very stupid person who can't read a simple warning. Saying that however, if you are fine with this concept then please tell me what you think! Thank you!
Oliver Wood was, at that moment, deep in the bowels of St Mungos, in a small, cramped room that had been filled with a weak man's blood curdling screams for the last nine hours.
Oliver Wood's husband had just given birth to a beautiful baby boy.
Percy Wood was lying on a ruffled hospital bed; his hair dishevelled and sweat shining on his face, making him glow with a tender radiance. A weak smile played on his lips and silent tears flowed gently down his cheeks, a product of both extreme exhaustion and pure elation. Oliver was shell shocked from the experience. He could still not believe that within his reach was his son. Both his and Percy's families had been waiting outside ever since Percy went into labour. Ron had been scurrying around like a hyperactive vole for the last week as Percy approached the end of the pregnancy and he had almost fainted when the contractions started.
The night was black outside but a warm orange light danced around the room, casting friendly shadows across the faces of the exhausted medi-witches and wizards as they sighed with contentment at the result of a nights long work and attention.
Oliver Wood leaned over and kissed his husband. The kiss was filled with love and silent thanks for bearing his child. As he pulled softly away, a nurse handed their clean now baby to his partner.
He cried.
Oliver Wood hardly ever cried. He gazed with wonder as his husband held their baby protectively in a gentle embrace. Oliver sat on the edge of the bed, his arm wrapped around the tired man's shoulders. They sat in a peaceful silence as they watched the small figure gently move in Percy's arms. His mouth opened and closed and his eyes peered about his new environment with wonder.
He had Percy's eyes.
Oliver slowly moved one of his fingers to his son's tiny hand. He grasped it curiously with surprising strength for a creature that was so small. Little tufts of dark brown hair sprotted out of the top of his head and there were already a few rogue freckles which had decided to grace the small boy's nose. Oliver smiled and kissed his husband on the cheek. Most of the medi-witches and wizards left the room, still smiling and quietly offering their congratulations to the couple. When there were only a few essential witches remaining, Oliver softly spoke to his tired husband.
"Percy? What are we going to call him?"
Percy stared down at their child with an affection that Oliver had never witnessed before.
"You choose Oliver." He whispered quietly, still smiling as he kissed his child's tiny head.
Oliver paused in thought for a long while, never taking his eyes off the beautiful baby in front of him. Oliver opened his mouth to let escape a name for their son when they heard a loud knock. The two twisted their heads towards the entrance of the room just in time to see two red heads leap through the door with more energy than was healthy to possess.
"Where's our nephew?"
"Neice?"
"Thing?"
The twins bounded over to the bed yet crashed to a halt as their eyes fell upon the delicate form in their older brother's arms. They were silent for a long moment, frozen in time as though they had never witnessed such an amazing scene. The baby held their gaze with curious interest, identical blue eyes locked with each other.
"This is your nephew." Percy uttered quietly and calmly.
Mrs Weasley, who had been standing, un-noticed in the open doorway bit back a sob of delight as she heard those words.
"Mum!" Percy exclaimed as he spotted his mother. Molly rushed forward, a torrent of tears flowing freely down her already reddened face. She stopped short of her son and held out her hands, unable to hug him due to the minute figure in his arms.
"Oh Percy, I'm so proud of you." She sobbed, pulling out a patchwork handkerchief from one of the many pockets that adorned her hotchpotch dress.
Percy turned to Oliver and smiled lovingly at him, not noticing the remainder of their relatives entering the already crowded room.
"Do you want to hold him?"
Oliver beamed and held out his hands carefully, taking the fidgety child into his arms.
"Mind his head." Percy whispered. Molly moved to the other side of the bed and sat down, embracing her son.
The boy in Oliver's arms stared up at him for a long moment before out of the blue, he started laughing. Oliver wrinkled his nose in confusion and earned a sweet giggle from Percy.
"So it's not only me who finds your face amusing."
"Am I supposed to take that as a complement or an insult?" Oliver warned, his thick Scottish accent accentuating the slight threat hanging from his words. Percy just smiled happily and turned his attention to the others in the room.
Ginny was beaming, Oliver's mother was sobbing as much as Molly as her husband held her close, a proud smile plastered to his face. Bill and Charlie were both laughing at their younger brother, Ron, who was standing, open mouthed, gaping at the sight before him. Percy silently beckoned him over to the bed and Ron carefully leaned over the boy in Oliver's arms. He looked up at the red head, smiled and hiccupped cutely.
Ron's eyes rolled up into the back of his head, and he fainted.
Well? What do you think? I know its short but I want to see if people respond to the idea so it would be appreciated if you could let me know whether it's worth pursuing. It would be great if you could all suggest names for mini Percy/Oliver. I know a lot of you did for 'Share My Love' but opinions may have changed now you know what he looks like. No flames please but constructive feed back is more than welcome. Thank you!
