"Frank, there you are!"
Frank Longbottom turned as a hand landed on his shoulder; he stared into the shinning blue eyes of Arthur Weasley.
"Arthur," he said smiling at his old friend "what can I do for you?"
Arthur huffed out of breath, he had just sprinted from his boss' office down to the elevators when he had seen Frank pass. "I've been meaning to give you this all week but I haven't seen you around." He handed Frank a large package wrapped up in baby blue wrapping paper.
"Well things at home have been pretty busy, and Langley has had me working a case nights." Frank explained.
Arthur shook his head "You'd think the man would give you a break considering the events of last Sunday, but still congratulations."
"Thank you Arthur, I'm guessing this package has at least one handmade, infamous Weasley jumper in it?"
Arthur chuckled "You know us too well. Molly was overjoyed to hear the news. It's all she could talk about at dinner on Sunday. She already has plans to invite you and Alice over so the boys can have a play date." Arthur laughed again "Neville's only a week old, Ronald's only four months, he can barely roll over by himself but Molly is already convinced that the two are going to be the best of friends."
"Well that's just fine in my books, I'm sure if Ron is anything like his big brothers, he'll be a great friend for Neville someday." Frank said with a smile.
Arthur grinned back "Well, I should be getting home, Molly will have dinner ready soon. Congratulations again, and we hope to see you and your family soon."
"Of course Arthur, I'll have Alice send an owl if we don't get one from Molly first. Thanks again and have a goodnight."
Arthur patted Frank on the back and walked away.
Frank shook his head but smiled in amusement, he was lucky to have the Weasley's as friends.
The elevator dinged and Frank stepped on, happy to be going home after a tiring day.
When Frank got home he walked into the living room to find his wife asleep on the couch, a rattle clutched in her fist and Neville asleep in his bassinette.
Frank smiled and walked over to his wife, he knew she had been having trouble sleeping for the last few weeks. He pulled a blanket from the back of the couch and covered her with it.
His mind went to his and Arthur's conversation earlier that evening. Thinking about their two boys growing up together.
He thought about what his life would now be like with Neville in it and it brought a smile to his face. He knew Neville was going to fill his life with happiness, his son already had.
Frank was overjoyed about being a parent. He already loved Neville so much and knew he would do anything for his son.
He wanted his son to have the best childhood so he could have the brightest future and go on to do anything he wanted.
He walked over to Neville and smiled down at his son's peaceful face. He didn't care what Neville turned out to be, whether he turned out to be a Healer or an Auror like his parents. Whatever he was Frank would be proud, he was already proud of his little bundle of joy and couldn't wait to watch him grow up.
