Chapter One; A Big Boy

"Good job Johnny!" Bill cried as his (almost) two year old son flushed the toilet (or potty) and then grinned up at him. "Now go ahead and pull up your pants and wash your hands. Then Mummy will get your breakfast ready for you and then we'll get your swim trunks on." He told him as the little boy leapt up onto his feet and pulled up his pants before he climbed up onto his stool and turned on the water to wash his hands.

Meanwhile as Fleur was busy cooking breakfast the telephone rang. Fleur quickly rushed into the living room to grab it. "Hello?" she questioned.

"Hello Fleur this is Brittany. Listen, I was wondering if you could do me a huge favor." She said.

"Sure, what is it?" Fleur wondered.

"Well I was planning on going visiting Aaron for a few weeks and I was wondering if you could babysit for me. I would have called Hermione and Snape to do it, but they've got a lot to deal with already. Besides, since you're a mum to be for the second time around I figured that this way you could have some practice taking care of a baby again." Brittany explained as Fleur smiled.

"Sure, I'd love to and I think that Johnny would love it since he's always been very fascinated with babies." She told her.

"Alright, but don't be too disappointed if he doesn't take to Danny right away. The Snape twins are already seven years old and they just learned how to get along and work together. Johnny's not even two yet. He's bound to get jealous when the baby starts getting more attention than him." Brittany said.

"Oh I wouldn't worry about him too much, it won't be anything that Bill and I can't handle." Fleur told her.

"Alright then great, I'll make sure that Danny is nice and clean tonight and drop him off tomorrow morning." She said when suddenly Bill and Johnny came out of the bathroom.

"Alright, we look forward to seeing you. Goodbye." Fleur told her as Johnny hurried down the hallway.

"Goodbye." Brittany said as they both hung up and the little boy flung out his arms before leaping inside her own.

"Guess what Mummy?" he questioned her with a grin.

"What? Did you use your new potty?" she questioned him back as he smiled and nodded at her. "Well congratulations Johnny, that's my big boy. Can you give Mummy a high five?" she asked him as she held up her free hand. He continued smiling at her and smacked her hand with his own. Fleur smiled back at him before kissing the top of his head. "Anyway, Mummy's got a surprise for you as well. There's going to be a baby over our house for a few weeks." She told him as he reached over and touched her belly.

"No, not your new sibling. Danny's going to be coming over. Do you remember him?" she asked him as he quickly shook his head. "Well he's going to be staying with us for a few weeks which means that I'll really need your help looking after him alright? That way you can practice being a big brother." She told him. "How does that sound?" she asked him as he just simply shrugged.

"Mummy I'm hungry. Can I please have something to eat?" he asked her as she smiled at him and kissed him again before she placed him down inside his highchair.

"Sure baby, since you asked me so nicely." She told him. "Wow, you're really getting to be a big boy. It won't be too much longer until you outgrow that highchair which will be perfect since the new baby can use it then." She said.

"Is the baby going to be a boy or a girl?" he asked her as she just simply smiled at him.

"You'll find out at your party." She told him.

"Where do babies come from?" he wondered as Bill and Fleur exchanged glances with each other.

"Uh, why don't I go get your flapjacks while Daddy explains that to you." Fleur said before she turned around and walked into the kitchen as Bill pulled up a chair and sat down in front of his son.

"Johnny, do you remember how Mummy and Daddy have told you all about how God created the world?" he questioned as the little boy nodded. "Well, babies come from Him." He told him. "He creates them and puts them into the mummies tummies. Do you understand?" he asked as Johnny nodded.

"Can I have some milk please?" he asked him as Bill grinned at him and kissed the top of his head.

"Yes you sure can. My goodness you are so polite. You're going to be a pleasure to your nursery teachers went you start nursery school next year." He told him while he got to his feet and ruffled his hair.

"What's that?" Johnny wondered.

"It's where you go to learn the alphabet, how to count, what the different colors in the world are, and what kind of shapes there are. Plus I'm sure you'll make tons of new friends and learn all about sharing and manners even though you pretty much have all of that covered." He said before he turned to walk into the kitchen and got the unicorn milk out of the refrigerator.

Bill unstrapped Johnny out of his booster seat before he lifted him to the ground and took ahold of his hand. Then Bill and his wife made sure that all of the doors were closed and locked properly before they started walking a crossed the parking lot together. "So Johnny, do you want to go to the baby pool or big pool first?" Bill questioned him.

"Big pool." Johnny replied as his father stifled a laugh.

"I should have seen that one coming." He chuckled.

"You know, when you're completely potty trained you won't need to wear swim diapers anymore or anything else under your trunks." Fleur told him.

"Cool!" Johnny exclaimed excitedly.

"That's right, and once you get a sticker filled for every day of the month you get to finally get some big boy pants and get to go underwear shopping with me." Bill told him.

"Yay!" Johnny exclaimed excitedly before Bill glanced over at his wife.

"You get to do it next time though." He muttered under his breath since right now they were the only ones that new that they were having a girl this time. Once they finally managed to cross the street they showed the man behind the counter their pool passes and went inside.
