CHAPTER 1

News

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.

Emma's POV

'Positive. All of them were positive. How? We had been so careful.' I thought glancing at the clock.

5:49pm

'He'll be home soon. Oh,no. How do I tell him? I mean, yeah, we already have two children, but Eleanor was just born a few months ago, for Merlin's sake!'

"Love?" Charlie called for the doorway. "You there?"

"Yes," I replied.

I walked out of the bathroom, making my way to the family room to find Charlie lying out on the couch, with his eyes cosed.

"How was work?" I asked. 'It won't hurt to beat around the bush, at least a little bit. Right?'

"Fine, nothing out of the usual happened," He said. "What about you? Good day at work?"

"Yeah, it was enjoyable. Listen, Charlie, I need to tell you something," I said quickly. At this Charlie opened his eyes and looked at me with confusion.

"Honey," I start as I sat on the edge of the couch by his waist and placed my hand on his chest. "I'm pregnant."

His eyes light up at the news. 'Of course, he wants another kid, he's a Weasley.'

"How far along are you? We need to tell your family? We need to tell my family? When are you going to take off wor-" I put my finger on his lips to stop him from speaking.

"First I don't know how far along I am, I'll have to make an appointment with a Healer. We're going to your parent's for Christmas, so we can tell them then. As for my family I'll call Mom on the Muggle phone. And I'll leave work around the same time I left with Eleanor. Everything else can be dealt with later."

"Okay," Charlie said with a smile on his lips.

I leaned down and gave him a small kiss that soon turn into a full on make-out session.

"Charlie," I gasped between kisses. "I have to go get the kids from Maura." He stopped kissing me and I slowly stood up, glancing at the clock.

6:20

"I'll be back in a little bit, with the kids."

"You're late," Maura said without looking up from the paper she was reading.

"Sorry, I had to talk to Charlie about something," I said as I bent down to hug my two year old son.

"How was your day, Jack?" I asked.

"It was great Momma, Maura let me play in the snow," He said cheerfully.

"Well Maura I'll get Ellie and get out of your way. You won't have to see a Weasley child until after New Years," I told her jokingly, because I knew how much she loved to watch the kids.

After leaving Maura's the evening went without a hitch.
