Arthur had been scared before, but no where near as scared as this. He hadn't been pacing, because, because his will to even move in the slightest had been taken away from him. He was content to sit in his uncomfortable hospital chair, and stare at the wall, (tears burning in his eyes), as he waited for his wife. He wasn't only scared for what would happen to her, but also for how she might be affected. He loved her more than life itself.......He was so in love with her, that most of the time nothing else, (besides his kids), mattered. He had been with Molly pretty much his whole life, (counting their Hogwarts years), and the thought of living without her made him want to die, or just give up altogether.

"He couldn't hold it in any longer, and in one split second, he had burst into tears. His hands were shaking and he balled them into fists angrily as he sat with his head in his hands, sobbing. He couldn't stand the thought of life without her.....It didn't seem like a life at all. For awhile, he just sat there, shaking and sobbing, when finally, a healer came out and walked over to Arthur as he removed his gloves.

"Mr. Weasley?" He asked quietly, and Arthur raised his face quickly after wiping it with his sleeves.

"Yes? what is it? Is my wife ok!?"

"Yes, Mr. Weasley...Your wife's surgery was a bit tough at first, but she's ok now. She'll probably still be in pain, but the bleeding has stopped, minus the normal bleeding from surgery, and the Hysterectomy in general went great."

"Will she be ok? How much rest time will she need?"

"A few weeks...She should be fine but no sexual acts or anything of that nature for 4 to 6 weeks." Arthur nodded and the healer continued.

"We had to perform the surgery vaginally so she'll probably be sore for a month or more." Arthur nodded again mutely, then the healer smiled.

"Would you like to see your wife? She's sleeping but would probably want you there, and the baby is with us in the ICU so you don't have to worry about her.....We figured we'd watch her while this little ordeal went on." Arthur smiled.

"Thank-you for that." The healer smirked.

"No problem...Now, lets take you to see that trooper of yours." Arthur chuckled and followed the healer back to Molly's room.

Molly looked so much more peaceful then she had been. Her breathing was even and normal, her brows were no longer furrowed in pain, and she looked less pale then she had earlier. Arthur came to sit beside her quietly, and then he took her hand in his. Lovingly, he raised it to his lips and kissed it tenderly. With his free-hand he moved to wipe her hair out of her face, then he leaned up to kiss her forehead gently. Sitting back down, he sighed.

"Molly, love, I'm here....I won't leave you you." he mumbled.

"I love you so much, and I'm so glad your ok....You scared me so much....too much, Molly.....You scared me too much and don't you dare do it again." He sat there for a moment in utter silence when soon, Molly's lips broke into a smile and she replied hoarsely: "Why can't....I s-scare you anymore? It's just t....t-too amusing." Slowly, she opened her eyes and tears cascaded from Arthur's he laughed heartily between sobs and embraced her. She couldn;t wrap her arms tight around him, but she relished in the feeling of all pain and fear being taken away as her husband held her.
