Disclaimer: I do not own the original characters, Romulus and George II came from my mind, though they do resemble a younger Fred and George. I do claim the plot line.

I am not apologizing for not updating. I have a life, one that is focused on my school musical right now, which will be over on Monday. I've been busy and I didn't update because of this reason. I have no need to apologize I feel.

Hope you enjoy the second installment! ~May

Chapter 2

"Up into bed now." Hermione was telling the twins, they were fighting against going to bed.

"I don't want to go to bed mummy!" George complained watching his dad at the back of the room.

"George sweetie, please just go to bed. Mummy is really tired from a long day today, please don't push her." Hermione sighed grasping a wrist of each boy.

"I'm sorry mummy." Romulus grinned up at her and pressed a hug into her leg.

"Go to bed and everything will be alright okay?"

"Okay!" The little boys chorused then grabbed onto the covers pulling themselves up by the quilt. Hermione smiled sweetly at them pressing a kiss to each of their foreheads before tucking them in. Fred watched Hermione take care of the two little boys who were now yawning widely.

"Can we talk?" Fred asked once she had turned away from the twins. Hermione replied by jerking her head toward the hall, she walked out of the room Fred following suit. She quickly cast muffliato on the door just in case yelling ensued.

"What about?" Hermione asked once she had turned away from the door.

"Us." Fred replied carefully.

"There is no 'us' Fred." Hermione snapped; Fred felt his heart break a little more than it had over the last five years.

"I never stopped loving you Hermione." Fred reached out to touch her cheek but Hermione batted his hand away.

"You didn't make that exactly clear when you yelled that you hated me." Hermione shot back.

"Hermione, I didn't mean what I said." Fred tried.

"It's too late Fred." Hermione began to turn away.

"I never stopped thinking about you the last five years." Fred grabbed her wrist which made Hermione freeze completely.

"Let go of me Fred." Hermione growled very low at him making him take a deep breath.

"I tried to find you, I didn't know where to search and Ginny wouldn't tell me. Please Hermione, don't leave me again." Fred whispered.

"I don't see how you can stand there and say what you're saying. You told me you loved me, we shared our lives, we sealed our love with each other through the only way possible and you have the nerve… the gall to stand there and say that you don't hate me when you yelled it in my face just over five years ago." Hermione was speaking in such a quiet voice that it almost wasn't there but Fred caught every word of it.

"If I had known Hermione-" He was suddenly caught off.

"You mean if you had known that I was pregnant with our children you would've held off, you would've waited until after I'd had them to tell me that you hate me and want nothing to do with me? That you hate my habits? That you hate how I spend my life working? That you hate the fact that I don't pay attention to you? That you hate it when I read and block out the world? That you hate every little thing about me? That you can't even stand to look at me anymore, but do so just because we're in a relationship?" Hermione's voice rose with each question but Fred didn't flinch back, George, Harry, and Ginny were now standing at the base of the stairs watching the events from bellow.

"I didn't mean any of it Hermione, I was mad; I don't know where half of it came from! Everything I said I hated is what I love about you!" Fred was now starting to raise his own voice in a futile attempt to get his point across.

"You've only romanticized about it every day of your life; you've only thought about it because your family has made you regret every word that you yelled. The only reason you still think you're in love with me is because of guilt." Hermione threw at him and Fred took a step back out of shock.

"I can't believe you actually think that!" Fred yelled right back and now it was Hermione's turn to step back slightly.

"I'm done with you Fred Weasley, I don't know what I ever saw in you." Hermione then turned and entered the room where his twins lay sleeping, he tried to follow but she'd cast a locking charm that not even Fred could break.

"Hermione!" He cried banging on the door as hard as he could. "Hermione."

Tears were now choking him. He'd lost her two times now; apparently his love life was not meant to go well. With that last thought Fred apparated away hoping George would soon follow.

The next morning at Breakfast Hermione was cutting the boys sausage up into bit size pieces. Each one was trying to start a food fight with the hash-browns but Hermione kept stopping them with a simple wave of her wand.

"You're coming to the weekly Weasley lunch aren't you?" Ginny asked as she placed more sausage, bacon, and hash-browns on the table where Harry immediately started taking more. Ginny let out a small laugh and turned back to the stove.

"I guess I should introduce Molly to her grandchildren." Hermione sighed trying not to think about exactly who would be at this lunch.

"Mum would be extremely pleased, probably going to try and steal them from you." Harry replied, he'd taken to calling her 'mum' soon after the war, she was the closest thing he had to the real article as it was.

"I might not get them back." Hermione cracked a smile.

"I'm starting to worry about little James." Ginny patted her baby bump.

"You already have a name picked out?" Hermione looked up in surprise.

"Harry mentioned the name; I figured it was only appropriate. We have two options for a boy, James Sirius and Albus Severus." Ginny told her and Hermione smiled.

"I see Professor Snape's memories affected you more than you care to admit." Hermione joked giving Harry a look.

"He was just as much a hero as I was." Harry shrugged.

"What if it's a girl?" That was what Hermione had constantly worried about; she didn't even know what she'd name her child before they had been born. It'd been a bigger surprise when it turned out to be two children instead of one!

"Lily Luna," Harry said automatically, "Ginny came up with that one. She told me that if my dad was getting a child named after him so should my mum, she also loves Luna and I think it's perfect."

"I didn't even know what to name Romulus and George, I didn't even know there was two of them." Hermione explained honestly.

"I think they're named perfectly." Ginny grinned. "I am curious though, what are their middle names?"

"George's middle name is Gideon, after well, you know. Romulus was a bit trickier but I finally decided on William. Bill was always so supportive throughout the war, I figured it only fair." Hermione blushed slightly at the mention of Fred's middle name.

"Everyone will love them." Ginny smiled sweetly at her friend before sitting down to enjoy her own breakfast.
