A/N: This entry is also for Weasley Relationships Competition, where I was given the characters of George and Molly II.
"Uncle George?"
"Yes, Molly, what is it?"
"I was just wondering: where do babies come from?"
George nearly choked on his coffee. He coughed a couple of times. When he looked up, Molly was still standing in front of him, glancing up expectantly.
"Eh, why don't you ask your parents?"
"I did. Mum said storks deliver them and Dad said they come whenever fairies dance. But I don't think either of them is true. You'd tell me the truth, wouldn't you, Uncle George?"
Her brown eyes were staring at him and he felt really uncomfortable under that gaze.
"Right..." How was he to start? "Eh well, you do know that Dads and Mums kiss sometimes, right?"
Molly nodded. "I'm not stupid."
George was panicking. His palms were sweaty and he was lost for words. He had absolutely no idea how to handle this. Why would she ask him of all people? Angelina had given Roxanne 'the talk' and he knew he could tell Fred when he would start asking questions, but he could not possibly tell Molly about...that! She was his niece. So typical Percy to tell his kids some nonsense story.
Molly was still looking expectantly at him and George shuffked on the couch nervously.
"Sometimes, Mums and Dads cuddle and then...ehm... they take of their clothes and..." He wiped his forehead. Uh-uh. No way. He was not going to tell her. Not in a million years. Let Percy and Audrey sort out their own mess. "Merlin, I'm sorry Molly, you'd better ask your parents to tell you the true story."
"Oh." Molly looked a bit disappointed and George felt like a lousy uncle, but he really wasn't comfortable with this.
"I'm sorry, Molly."
"I thought that you would tell me the truth," Molly said accusingly. "But I'll go ask Aunt Angelina then." She walked out of the room.
Although he felt that he was letting her down, he was somewhat relieved that she decided to take it up with Ange. But he intended to have a word with Percy and Audrey about this. It was really absurd that they would not educate their children properly. It was the 21st century after all and Molly was already attending Hogwarts!
From the kitchen he heard laughter and then he heard Roxanne's voice: "I told you he'd freak out over that question! You were absolutely brilliant! 'You'd tell me truth, Uncle George, wouldn't you?' That was priceless!"
"I know, right? Did you see his face? Oh my god, I thought I was going to crack up!" Molly joined in the laughter and George realised they had tricked him. They had purposefully tried to make him feel uncomfortable. Well, they had certainly succeeded in that. He growled. He had always been the one to trick others, but it seemed he had passed on a little too much of his genes to his daughter.
