It's all description except for my one given word.
My word was 'Two'
Disclaimer. I don't own anything you recognize.
As a young Molly Weasley checked each child in each bed, she smiled to herself. Molly had always wanted to be a mother, but her growing family was getting bigger and bigger each passing year. Soon, they will have to add onto the Burrow again, but Molly pushed that thought to the back of her mind.
Molly went from room to room tucking in each child with care, turning off each nightlight. She started with Bill, then Charlie, then Percy, and finally came to her two twins. Fred and George were sleeping in cots.
She stayed in the babies' room the longest. Molly had always wanted a big family, but she had never expected to have twins. The room was a mirror image. Two hand made cots - made by Arthur himself -stood in different corners of the room. Two cherry wood dressers stood next to the cribs. Two small redheaded babes in matching blue night outfits were fast asleep in each crib.
As Molly checked on George, she smiled as she bent down to give him a kiss. When he sighed, she felt satisfied knowing he was sound asleep. Molly walked over to Fred and lingered a little longer over the babe.
She turned on the small nightlight and walked over to the threshold of the boys' room. Somehow, she knew the twins wouldn't be her last babies. She had a hunch her family would grow more after these two babes. She smiled, pleased with the thought of more children.
'Her young husband found her staring at the twins and wrapped his arms around her waist. He rested his head on her shoulder. She turned around and kissed him gently on the lips, welcoming him home from work.
"Two," she whispered as she smiled at them. Two identical children in identical cribs, but to Molly, they would be her two twin boys with identical red hair. Two little babes, each with a different future ahead of them; but for tonight, her two twin boys were hers. And that was how she liked it. Just- the two of them.
