George forgot about the New Year's Eve incident and continued to run the Joke shop and Angelina didn't mention it to him anymore and didn't even expect him to enter into a relationship with him. He didn't feel that he was ready to get into another relationship with a woman this soon after his breakup with Katie plus he was still mourning Fred's death. It wasn't that he didn't like Angelina but he didn't like her in that way and besides he felt guilty about shagging her on New Year's Eve since he felt that he had dishonored Fred's memory. He had put the thought of the possibility that he could be a father this time next year out of his mind after New Year's Day since he thought that Angelina wouldn't try to trap him into marriage. He also knew that Angelina wouldn't use him in order to have the baby that she had wanted to have with Fred. Anyway he was planning on closing on Valentine's Day so that Ron could spend the evening with Hermione who was allowed to come down from Hogwarts for the night since she was now of age. George wasn't interested in dating anyone for the moment since he wanted to get the store back the way it was before the war had gotten so bad that they had to close shop. He was surprised however to see Angelina walk in after lunch since he figured that she would be at work since she seemed to spend all of her time at work now especially since New Year's Eve. As soon as she had spotted George she went immediately to him and let him know that she had some important news to tell him that she had wanted to tell him in private. George motioned to Ron letting him know that he was going into the office with Angelina and not to disturb him unless it was an emergency. When the two of them had entered into the office George had motioned to Angelina to sit down worried about what she had to tell him. Angelina looked nervous though he did have to know the truth and she wasn't looking for a relationship at this time.
"What is it that you need to tell me?" George asked concerned about what the answer will be.
"I'm pregnant and you're the father," Angelina made her pronouncement quickly in order to get it over and done with, waiting to see if he was going to propose marriage to her on the spot. Angelina was relieved though disappointed when he didn't though she was planning to raise this child on her own. She did however did feel that George should know that he was about to become a father. Her only regret was that she was carrying George's baby and not Fred's, though since they were identical twins her baby could look like Fred and reminded her of the love that she had once had. She knew that she could raise the baby on her own with George visiting it once a week or not at all if he wasn't interested in getting to know their child.
"I'm not going to force you to marry me, but I want you to know that I plan on keeping the child, since it will be a reminder of Fred," Angelina declared.
George wasn't too surprised by Angelina's declaration since he figured that she wanted this child to remind her of Fred. He wasn't ready to enter into a relationship either let alone marry anyone especially Angelina. He did however plan to be a part of this baby's life no matter who she had wanted her baby's daddy to be. He did worry about his parent's reaction to the news since him and Angelina weren't married and weren't planning on getting married. He was brought up to believe that if he did get a girl pregnant that he was obligated to marry her, though his father didn't tell him about getting a girl pregnant who really wanted his twin brother's child. He knew that if any guy had gotten Ginny pregnant that he and his father and brothers would pressure the poor fellow to marry her. He knew that it had to be on New Year's Eve when the two of them were lonely and had drunk quite a bit of firewhiskey. He was scared though that she will tell her father about the baby and the baby's father and his life will be in danger if he didn't marry her since he did hear about what happened to wizards who had gotten a girl pregnant and didn't do the honorable thing by marrying her. Though he did hear rumors of some pure blooded men who would have affairs with muggle women and ignore any children that were born from these illicit affairs. George knew that Angelina was still in love with Fred and he wasn't going to marry someone who wanted him to be someone else. It would make the two of them miserable and cause George to resent the child that had forced him into a marriage that he didn't want. Angelina would probably wind up resenting him too if her father did push George into marrying her since she had wanted to marry Fred and she wanted the child to be Fred's not George's.
"Even if we don't get married, I still want to support the child since it is mine," George had reassured Angelina.
"You don't have to do that since I can take care of it myself," Angelina told George to let him know that she isn't after his money.
"I want to know did you plan on sleeping with me on New Year's so that you can have a baby to remind you of Fred or did it just happen?" George asked her suspiciously.
"It was an accident, I swear it was. Having a baby isn't in my plans right now, however since I am pregnant I do plan on keeping it as a reminder of the love that I had lost."
George still didn't believe her since he still felt that she had planned to get pregnant on purpose with him since she couldn't have Fred's baby. At least she didn't want to get married to him because of the baby since he was still trying to adjust to living without Fred. He didn't feel ready to take on the responsibility of a wife and child at this time, besides Angelina may not be ready to move on as well. If he married Angelina now she would probably see him as a stand in for Fred and even try to turn him into Fred which would make the two of them miserable. Even though him and Fred were identical twins the two of them were very different people. He only hoped that Angelina would realize that and not try to turn him into her lost love eventually and want him to marry her. He had feelings for her but only as a friend he didn't love her the way that Fred did. He only wanted Angelina to let him spend time with their child instead of telling it that his father had died before he was born, which he worried that is what Angelina had thought. It didn't matter if she had planned on sleeping with him so that she could become pregnant with a child that would remind her of Fred he was still the father and wanted to play a part in the child's life even if he didn't marry Angelina.
"Will your father strongly encourage me to marry you since you are pregnant?" George asked sounding concerned that he would be on the other end of an angry father's wand.
"No he wouldn't do anything like that since I'm an adult and he can't make me do anything that I don't want to do. The only thing that he can do is to be disappointed in me though its not like I don't already have a job that I can support a child with, its not like I'm still in Hogwarts with no way to support a child," Angelina reassured him.
After Angelina left George's office, he still had to let the news that he was going to be a father sink in. He felt that his parents wouldn't be too happy about this child like they were about Bill and Fleur's coming child since he had no plans to marry Angelina. His mother would love her new grandchild though he knew that he would always be compared to Bill who had waited until he was married in order to have a child. Though if he did marry Angelina his parents would wonder if he only married her because she was going to marry Fred and that she only married him as a replacement for Fred though he did wonder if she only slept with him as a replacement for Fred. That was another reason that he wasn't able to marry Angelina, he had his doubts if she didn't plan the whole thing so that she could have a baby that would remind her of Fred. He had only recently gotten used to his new normal of being known as his own person and not half of a twosome. He still had problems in remembering that Fred was dead especially first thing in the morning or whenever his business did really well. It was only recently that he was able to give away Fred's things and let his brother Ron live with him. He didn't feel like he was ready to enter into a relationship at this time and he definitely didn't want to enter into a relationship with a woman who saw him as a substitute for Fred. He was still trying to figure out his new identity without dragging anyone else into it, though he did plan on spending time with his child.
