Poor girl… Well anyways I hope you all enjoy reading this wonderful , but short chapter. Please read and, more importantly, REVIEW. Remember 1000 reviews for the 3 stories and ill put out that web site.
Mrs. Hermione Weasley wasn't happy at all. Her doctor had put her on bed rest since she was close to her due date Dec 23. All she knew was that her feet were swollen, her back was sore , and she was humongous all over. She was tired of being on bed rest, and today was the day that Bonnie was coming home for Christmas break. She was desperate for a day out, but Ron was making sure that she didn't move a finger.
"Ron I haven't seen my daughter in months. If you don't let me go to the train station with you ill kill you." Hermione told Ron calmly, yet menacingly
"Alright Hermione. I don't have a death wish, so if you want to go that badly I don't see the harm in a little walking.." Ron said giving up arguing with his wife. They'd been at it for the past half an hour.
Ron left to fix breakfast for the kids and help them get ready to pick up Bonnie. It would have been easier to just leave them with a babysitter while they got her, but they had all insisted, or rather whined, about wanting to go. Ron really valued his ears, so he gave in and was now faced with the task of getting them all ready.
"They are all stubborn like their mother." Ron thought while finishing dressing little Abbey.
"Your in my seat Cadience!" Maddy whined
"I always sit here Madeline" Cadience whined back.
"No! I always sit next to Alley and you sit next to David and Evan." Maddy argued.
"I AM sitting next to them." Cadience replied defiantly
"Well you all moved on me." Maddy pouted.
"Madeline just sit next to Alley please." Hermione ordered
"But mom!!" Maddy whined
"Listen to your mother Madeline." Ron stated firmly
Maddy didn't dare cross her father, so instead she pouted "Yes sir." and stomped her way to the back.
"Are we all set?" Hermione asked.
"Yep I think we are." Ron said pulling out of their muggle-style garage and turning onto the road.
"I can't wait to see sissy." Abbey said excitedly.
"I bet she cant wait to see you all." Ron laughed
"I miss her so much…I wish I could go to school with her." Abbey sighed sadly.
"I know sweetie." Hermione said.
The chatter in the car continued on, drifting from random subject to random subject. Ron and Hermione enjoyed times like these; it was just a nice family discussion and, for once, it was devoid of screaming.
"Okay kids we're here." Ron said after 45 minutes of driving and about 25 restroom stops.
"Yippee sissy here I come." Abbey said, jumping out of the car.
"I cant wait to get home. Its kinda funny when I'm home, all my brothers and sisters drive me crazy, but I still missed them like mad. I bet they are all going to be there waiting for me when I get off. They would be really mad if they couldn't come." Bonnie said with a chuckle. They were onboard the Hogwarts Express, and the snowy scenery was passing them by at a rapid pace.
"Cool! I get to see what a big family looks like. All that's coming to pick me up is my dad. My moms at work." Casey said sadly.
"I got two older brothers they live back in the States." Trevor said.
"You know you guys can come over anytime you want. My mother always says the more the merrier. Of course I guess that's why there is seven soon to be eight of us." Bonnie said with a laugh
"Oh that reminds me when is your mom going to have the baby?" Trevor asked.
"Any day now. I cant wait to find out what it is. I mean if I was my mom, I would want to know."
"You know I probably will visit. My parents go out a lot. Its really lonely being the only child." Casey said, looking at the floor.
"I know what you mean. Now that its just me and my Mom, its like there's no one to hang out with or bother." Trevor said.
"Hey! The train's stopped." Bonnie said, jumping from her seat.
The trio gathered their stuff and made their way onto the platform. Bonnie could see her family a mile away. She waved to them and she could see little Abbey making a run towards her. Bonnie laughed and ran towards her little sister, and felt tears of joy welling up in her eyes. When Abbey got close enough, she launched herself at her sister and Bonnie spun her around, both of them laughing loudly. She couldn't believe how much she missed her family.
"I missed you so much sissy." Abbey said, clinging onto her big sister.
"I missed you too Abbey." Bonnie said while the rest of her family made their way over.
Casey stood back and watched in slight jealousy. She wished she had a family like that, but she didn't. Casey looked around for her Dad. No sign of him.
"Oh well seems dear old dad forgot me again. I guess I'm taking the cab again." Casey sighed, visibly upset.
"Hey Casey come here." Bonnie yelled for her.
Casey put on a forced smile and walked over to Bonnie and her family. "Hey."
"Where's your dad?" Bonnie asked looking around.
"Oh… I guess he was busy or something." Casey said, trying to hide her disappointment
"Too busy for his own daughter?" Bonnie asked incredulously.
"I guess." Casey said trying to shrug It off like it was nothing. Bonnie, however, could see right through it and knew that Casey was really hurt.
"Mom , dad would it be okay if Casey came over tonight?" Bonnie asked her parents.
"Sure. Do we get to meet this lovely young lady first." Ron said jokingly bowing down to Casey. This caused Casey to giggle
"Cassandra McGuire at your service. I prefer to be called Casey." she said shaking Ron's hand
"Well its very nice to met you Casey. We would love to have you over." Hermione said, smiling down at the young girl.
"Alright troops! To the Weasley mobile!" Ron called playfully.
"Daddy we're not troops silly! We kids." Ally said laughing
"I am very mistaken I am sorry my lovely lady." Ron said with a smirk.
"Daddy your so silly." Maddie said, while Ron picked her up.
"That's right. Your dear old dad is very silly." Ron said.
Casey looked at how Mr. and Mrs. Weasley were with their kids. Casey secretly wished that her parents were like that with her.
Casey sighed and let a solitary tear fall down her cheek as she thought to herself, "So this is what a family is supposed to be like."
