Chapter four
Disclaimer: I OWN NOUGHT!
"When did you guys buy this house then? I don't think I've ever seen it before." I asked Hermione curiously as I sat down on the double bed with a violet duvet draped over it.
"We had it built back in November when Charlie called. And we moved in just yesterday." She told me whilst she watched Teddy crawl up and down the bed like a little trooper.
"Wow! So it was built in only six months?"
"Yeah, it's quite surprising how far money can get you nowadays."
"Did you guys move all this way and have all this built just for me?" I asked, surprised.
"Well yes I guess. We just needed to get out of the country and start new. It was sort of like killing two birds with one stone, you know? Besides, you and Uncle Charlie are the only family I have left. Harry's got no one either and nor has Teddy. You'll soon come to learn how much we value family."
We spent the next hour or so talking and I told Hermione about Edward and how we met. I forgot how nice it was, talking to Hermione. She was a perfect listener; giving her opinion where needed, asking suitable questions and not interrupting. We also just watched Teddy and fussed over him and it was clear to me that Hermione was the perfect mother. She was never inattentive, always proud of her son and she somehow always knew what he wanted and when he wanted it. It was almost like all those years ago when Hermione would visit and we would just talk for hours on end. Except this time there wasn't the worry of Hermione having to go back home and time running out looming over our shoulders.
"Kids dinner!" I heard Charlie's familiar voice call from downstairs and it made me feel even more nostalgic than before… Wait. Charlie was here?
Hermione POV
Seeing the confusion rise on Bella's face at the voice of her father I spoke.
"We invited Uncle Charlie over for dinner. I haven't even seen him yet you know." I explained, unable to keep the excitement out of my voice at the arrival of the worlds awesome uncle.
As a kid I used to absolutely adore Uncle Charlie and apparently that hasn't changed. I saw him as the family super hero; funny uncle by day and super man who captured evil villains by night. It all started one day when he was taking Bella and me for a drive in the cruiser. Whenever I visited them in America I would insist on it and over the years it had become an annual tradition. Suddenly halfway through the mini journey Uncle Charlie stopped the car and told us to wait inside. Of coarse we did but we watched as Uncle Charlie confidently strode over to a small gang of teenagers harassing a small boy around the same age as we were. Now, when you're a tiny five-year-old, teenagers are the most terrifying and intimidating things in the world and seeing them practically flee from your uncle, in my mind, automatically promoted said uncle from a silly relative into an ass kicking super hero. Sadly, Bella lost interest in the situation after only five minutes, claiming that it was just 'silly old Charlie'.
Muttering a quick "Can you bring Teddy down, please?" To Bella I almost ran downstairs and jumped into the poor mans arms.
"Uncle Charlie!" I squealed happily.
"Mya! Man, I've missed you darling!" He exclaimed as he hugged me back.
"I've missed you too!" It felt good, being with family again, I didn't feel like I had lost my parents anymore.
"Hey Bells." Charlie said as he looked up to see his daughter. I could hear him gulp loudly as he saw Teddy in his arms and I smiled.
"Urm… Bella? Why have you got a baby in your arms?" He asked panic coating his voice. Bella quickly looked at me and I grinned mischievously at her and winked.
"Oh, didn't you know Dad?…" She trailed off purposefully leaving Uncle Charlie a few seconds to go insane.
"What? What don't I know? Tell me!" He shouted and I just had to join in.
"Uncle Charlie, this baby is your long lost twin." I said so seriously that it took my Uncle a few seconds to comprehend what I had just said.
"H-Hey! Just you wait a minute now!" He stuttered, clearly flustered.
Seeing the perplexed expression on Uncle Charlie's face I burst out laughing, Bella following closely behind and a few seconds later, Teddy, not wanting to miss out on the fun, burst out into adorable little baby giggles.
