Disclaimer: This is very unusual for me. I usual just do stories by wing. This one I've actually started before posting any of it.
The room was still as the sun began to peek over the horizon, casting gentle rays across the floor of the bedroom and the bed, where two figures lay. Clothes laid scattered on the floor, secretly telling the rising star of last nights exploits. In the other rooms, two little girls lay peacefully, their red hair shining as the sun made it's way into their room as well.
Ron woke to the shifting body next to him. He looked over to find himself staring at a naked back. Suddenly the events of last night came rushing back to him with such a force that his breath caught and he had to take a few calming breaths before observing the sleeping figure beside him. He rolled over on his side and peeked over her shoulder, amazed at what he saw. She looked absolutely brilliant. Her long brown hair covered the pillow and spilled over her face in soft curls. Most of her small body was covered by the sheets, but she had one arm over the covers, revealing bare sunkissed skin. A beautifully small smile graced her lips as she shifted slightly, murmuring something in her deep sleep. Ron felt his heart swell at the sight of her, her confession last night adding to his giddiness.
We're pregnant.
Those words rang through his mind like a pleasure he couldn't describe. He wanted to hear her say it again, yet he didn't want to wake her from what ever dream she was having. She looked too peaceful.
Reaching under the covers, he slid his hand over her stomach, kissing her shoulder.
"My babies," he whispered. He felt her move and then her small hand came over his larger one. She remained still. Ron's eyes grew brighter as he leaned in and kissed her neck reverently.
"Hey..." Ron jerked at the sound of Hermione's sleepy voice. He looked down to see her opening her eyes, turning her head to look up at him with a small, yet amazing smile. Ron's grin grew bigger and he leaned in, his lips capturing hers in a painstakingly slow, but loving kiss. Pulling away breathless, Hermione reached up and brushed some of his aurbun hair out of the way, gazing into his brilliant blue eyes. They sat there for a while, just enjoying each others warmth and the satisfaction of knowing that there was life present. Hermione then turned her head to the window and sighed. Ron leaned in and started kissing her neck.
"Did you imagine it would be like this?" she asked quietly, watching the sun rise slowly. Ron pulled away slightly.
"What do you mean?" he asked. She looked up at him.
"I mean when we were in school and weren't dating... did you ever think we'd make it this far? Married with two beautiful kids and three more on the way?" she explained. Ron rested his head on the crook of her neck, kissing her skin as he wrapped his arms around her waist.
"In all honesty... no..." he mumbled into her skin. He then pulled away and looked down at her with a smile.
"But I'm glad it happened anyway," he whispered. She smiled up at him.
"Me too..." Hermione whispered, kissing him gently. Ron pulled her closer, loving the feel of her. Hermione moaned as he shifted around so that he was on top of her, his arms pulling her closer. Ron dipped his head to her neck, sucking and kissing her skin. Her breathing became shorter as she started to whimper. He leaned into her ear.
"Tell me again," he ordered, pressing impossibly closer to her. She gasped, her arms tightening around him as she gave out a small cry.
"We're pregnant..."
Telling the girls had not been as hard as Hermione had thought it would be. Triniti of course, was old enough to fully understand the concept of mom having a baby. With Lorel, it took a bit of embarrassment on Ron's part and much explaing on Hermione's for her to actually realize that there were three little people inside of mommy. However, when Triniti got all excited and began to yell and jump and clap her hands in jubilee, Lorel also got excited and soon the house was full of two very happy children.
Since it was a Saturday, the family spent the whole day goofing off. First going to a muggle zoo, in which Ron accidently started comparing the birds of prey to hippogriffs which ended up having the family close by move off with very concerned looks and a very harsh glare from Hermione. The rest of the afternoon was spent in the park. The family then headed over to the Burrow for the regular Saturday night Weasley Get Together.
Arriving at the active house, Ron had to do his best not to grin like an idiot, while Hermione had to wipe the tell tale glow from her face. Molly Weasley was like a baby moniter and could easily spot pregnancy, so as long as Hermione avoided Molly until the two were ready to announce the big news, they were safe from the matriarch's loud mouth. The plan worked well. Hermione sat farther away from Molly than usual whiched caused some suspicion until Hermione said that she hadn't seen Angelina and Alicia in a long time and was dying to speak with them. The whole Weasley family retired to the large family room, the kids on the floor around the fireplace. Hermione and Ron were whispering with each other quite intensely that it soon caught the attention of many of the occupants in the room.
"What are you two bickering about?" Molly asked curiously. Hermione gave Ron a pointed look before turning to her mother-in-law.
"Nothing," she said. Ron, however, decided that now was the time.
"Actually, mum. There is something we'd like to tell all of you," he said standing up. Hermione stood up with him. The family room became quiet, save for the whispering in the corner by the small kids. Ron took a deep breath.
"Triniti. Could you come here for a moment?" he called to his daughter. The small girl got up and ran over to her father in excitement. Ron kneeled down and smiled.
"Can you tell the family what's going on with mummy?" he asked. The girl nodded eagerly. She then stepped over to her mother and pointed to Hermione's stomach.
"Mummy's pre... pregn..." she frowned and looked up at her mother for the right word. The rest of the family however, had gotten the point and Ginny let out a shriek.
"Hermione! You're pregnant!" she squealed. Hermione's face broke out in a large smile as did Ron's as the family started to congradulate them. Molly pulled Ron into a huge bear hug.
"Oh Ronniekens! You're going to have another baby!" she gushed. Triniti wasn't about to be ignored however. She stamped her foot down.
"Not just one! Three!" she shouted. There was instant silence as they all stared at the little girl and then at Ron and Hermione. Fred and George were the first to speak.
"Three," they choked out, stunned. Hermione nodded.
"I checked yesterday morning and we're having triplets!" she exclaimed. The women all started giggling and crowded around Hermione, begging for details. Hermione glanced over at Ron and they smiled at each other before being swept up into the zealous crowd known as the Weasleys.
A/N: Short, but I think it get's the job done. I'll try to put some angst/mysterious thing in the next chapter to spice it up.
