No flames please? This is AU, just for fun mostly, just bringing back my beloved fred, giving him a love story. It's meant to be fluffy, sort of sexy, really funny more than anything, though with it's slightly sad moments (not many of those, can't write true angst to save my life, I'm afraid).. Wasn't it depressing enough that he had to die in the books and then again in the movie? I had to at least TRY and write this when the muse struck.

This chapter is short, but it's for a really, really good reason, I promise you all. :p It's also a cliffhanger. Don't you just love me now, lol?

CHAPTER 09:

He gaped at the screen, a slow and goofy smirk filling his face as he quickly realized that there wasn't just ONE baby.. "Bloody hell." he gasped as Mariah smiled softly, looked at the screen and then at Fred. "Look, baby, she's waving." she pointed out, grinning as Fred nodded and said "He."

"Actually, sir, you're both right." the doctor said after a few moments. Mariah smiled, hiding a laugh as she said "Well, I suppose that answers my next question.." Fred nodded and they smiled, his fingers grazing across her knuckles as he leaned in, kissed her forehead then asked the doctor in concern, "They're supposed to be that small, yeah?"

The doctor laughed and then said "Yes, sir, they're both healthy. So is Mom." as he let Mariah off the table, Fred picking her up, her groaning inwardly as she pointed out for a 5th time that day alone, "Fred, I can walk. I do have two perfectly good working legs, baby."

"And? If I want to carry my wife around all over the place then I will." he stated firmly as he put her down into the passenger seat of the car gently, got in on the drivers side. His hand found hers across the console and he leaned in, kissing her. "So.. I think I might have at least one of their names."

"What's that, love?" he asked quietly as he looked at her, smiled when she answered, "George."

After all, if the books were any indication, George would eventually marry and have a son that he'd name Fred. So this was a fair enough idea for Mariah. "And I've a name for the girl." Fred said as he smiled and leaning in muttered, "How about Marilyn."

"Hmm..Well, I was named after Audrey Hepburn and Mariah Carey, so... But are you sure? I was thinking Gianna..."

"Gianna's a pretty name."

"And we can call her Gin."

They'd only just parked the car outside of her apartment when out of nowhere, Hermione Granger and Fred's twin brother George appeared as they said quietly, "If you're all ready.. But we've got to hurry. Can only make so many trips back and forth with this during a days time, and there are still loads of others. But your mum, Fred, she was insistant."

Fred nodded and looked at Mariah who smiled and then said "Have they figured out what effects this will have on my time?"

"According to the first person we bought back, who met someone in the time they were stuck in, married them.. It'll be as if you didn't exist here.. In our time only. So far, everything looks like it's going to go smoothly." Hermione said as she smiled at the blonde standing next to Fred. George looked at them both and remembering they'd had to go see a doctor about the baby earlier, because that'd been the main thing Fred seemed to be worried about, was if the baby was healthy, if Mariah was alright and so forth.. "Well?"

Fred shrugged mysteriously as he said "When we're back at the Burrows, brother." as he looked at Mariah and took a few deep breaths before asking, "So.. Are you ready?"

Mariah nodded, slightly excited and a little more than nervous. She slipped her hand into his, George grabbing hold of her other hand, teasing her about her height as they shut their eyes and waited to be sent through time...

Both couldn't wait to see what awaited them back in Fred's time, 1998. Finally, they wouldn't have to spend every single second worrying, obsessing over whether they'd be able to remain together or not, when the glitch was fixed.

It was finally happening, now what lie ahead for the two of them and their soon to be family?
