Disclaimer: I own absolutely nothing, JK is a queen and deserves every bit of praise, I'm just writing my peace to keep Fred alive!

Sorry for being so long! I've been so busy with the new position and trying to hire someone to take over my old job! No luck yet but fingers crossed we have 3 interviews on Thursday! I hope this chapter was worth the wait! Might be a bit longer than the other chapters, I've got a lot on my mind! I might also be starting up another story about Fred and Hermione, it'll be different from this one a little more outside the lines of JK's storyline! Hope you enjoy!

Lots of love!

Chapter 10: Fireworks

"Fred Weasley would you slow down?!" Hermione stopped and was out of breathe hunched over grabbing her side.

"Sorry love! I just.. I… We need to get married before that!" He pointed at her stomach. "Pops out!"

Hermione gave him a stern look but it softened as she saw how much love and fear was in his eyes. She made her way to Fred, placed her hands on either side of his face and pulled his face toward hers.

"Now you listen to me, this baby has a little time before IT will make its presence known! I know it's not exactly how you wanted to start this marriage…" Hermione let go of his face and started fiddling with the buttons of her jacket.

"Now you listen here 'Mione," He said grabbing her face now. "I love you. I will always love you. I want us to have a family, sure it's a little sooner than I imagined but Merlin woman nothing will stop me from marrying you. Now come on I'd like to marry you… TODAY!" Fred said taking her hands and leading her towards the apparition point.

Molly was in the kitchen making lunch for Ginny, Ang and a very pregnant Fleur. All the kids were running around and driving Bill mad. Molly turned to put the food on the table when a loud pop sounded behind her. Fred and Hermione entered the kitchen, all of the children jumped off of Bill and ran to their obviously favorite Aunt and Uncle.

"Roxy?! My stars you are ginormous! What are you feeding her Ang?!" Hermione plopped the kid on her hip and started tickling and kissing her which caused the child to go into a fit of giggles. Fred just stood there in absolute love watching Hermione, he kept picturing that to be their curly headed kid.

"Freddie is everything okay? I thought you two were going to be shopping for wedding things today?" Molly came rushing over to her son looking very worried.

"Oh yeah mom we kind of… Um need to…. About that…." Fred was stammering and turning red slowly losing air supply. She's going to kill me knowing I've knocked up Hermione before we're even married!

"Oh out with it already you blubbering idiot!" Ginny said crossing the room to grab Fred II from climbing on the cabinets. Everyone was gawking at Ginny from her outburst at Fred.

"I'm pregnant." Hermione said putting Roxy down to take Fred's hand. "So we need to move up wedding a bit…" Hermione said smiling up at Fred. He placed his hand on her bump protectively.

"Like today Mum." Fred said finally looking into his mother's eyes, which were by the way completely filled with tears.

"Oh my dears!" Molly squealed and ran to the couple, gathering them up into a very tight bear like hug, rocking them back and forth sobbing with joy.

"I think she's happy Freddie…" Hermione said in a high pitched voice from being squeezed so tight.

"Mum you're squishing us! And the baby!" Fred said trying to rangle his mother off of them.

"I'm sorry I'm sorry! I'm just so! AH!" Molly said rushing back into the kitchen, Fred and Hermione just stared at each other a little frightened.

Molly came back into the living room with a large black leather book. She was frantically flipping through the pages getting more and more frustrated.

"Ah! Here! Ginny did you get that dress I asked for?" Molly asked her youngest with a beaming smile.

Hermione snapped her head towards the red headed witch with tiny daggers in her eyes.

"Yeah I did, it's upstairs… It might need some alterations…" Ginny said slinking slowly away from Hermione's gaze to head upstairs to get the dress.

"What dress Molly? What are you looking for?!" Hermione said slightly exasperated.

"Oh dear I'm sorry! When we went dress shopping a while ago that pretty little dress you cried over that you couldn't afford well…" Molly was cut off by Ginny bounding down the stairs with a large black bag.

"I got Harry to buy it!" Ginny said shoving the bag into Hermione's arms.

"YOU DID WHAT?!" Hermione and Fred said staring at the bag and back at the glowing red headed witch in front of her.

"Harry was more than willing to get it for you 'Mione, you've always been there for him. Thick and thin he's always been able to depend on you, he wanted to pay you back in some way. He said it's nowhere near what you deserve, but it's a start. You look gorgeous in it." Ginny said pulling Hermione into a hug.

"I uh…. I don't know what to say…" Hermione said looking up at Fred who pulled her into his side. He nuzzled her neck which caused goosebumps down her spine.

"Oy, brother, can't you wait until after the minister says 'You may now kiss the bride.'? We don't need a preview!" Bill said shielding his two strawberry blonde girls.

"Ooof! Bill! I zink zah babeeey… AGHHHH!" Fleur screamed as they all noticed a puddle below her.

"Daddy, is mommy okay?" Victorie looked at her father with such worry.

"He's here! Mum send word to St. Mungos, you're getting your first grandson!" Bill said swooping his wife into his arms and running towards the floo. "Fred, bring the girls round later, we'll meet you lot there!" Bill said stepping through the green flames.

"Well love, I think the wedding is on hold for today at least!" Hermione said kissing Fred on the cheek and heading up the stairs to put the dress back into Ginny's old room. When she came back down Fred had gathered Teddy, Victorie, Dominique, Fred II, and Roxy all huddled up by the floo bundled in their jackets ready to go. Fred had Roxy in his arms who was slowly falling asleep as Fred gently rocked her back and forth. This was a sight to behold, Hermione shed a little tear then wiped it away quickly. Damn hormones, this kid is already getting to me! She thought as she gathered her coat and picked up Dom, grabbed Victorie's hand and stepped through the flames into St. Mungos. Fred was along behind her with Roxy little Freddie and Teddy.

"Mr. Weasley? We have a waiting room ready for you and your family." A healer showed the bunch into a big room across the hall from Fleur's delivery room, the room was filled with comfy couches and toys for the kids. The children scattered like marbles being dropped on the floor. Fred put down a squirmy Roxy and Hermione let down Dom. Fred and Hermione sat down on a couch and watched as all the kids started playing.

"Ang said she and George are a little worried…" Fred started. "By three months Freddie there was making his stuffed animals fly or explode or something… Roxy's 4 months and they haven't seen anything…" Fred said, eyes glossed over looking at Roxanne.

"Freddie, she's 4 months… my mum and dad said I started doing weird stuff about a year old! She's just a late bloomer, don't get too upset about it. And even if she didn't have any, ya know, magic. What of it!? She's perfect." Hermione said reassuring him and nuzzling into his neck to watch the kids play.

Just then the door swung open and the rest of the Weasley clan clambered into the room shouting excitedly about the new arrival.

"Any news yet?" Molly and Arthur said together to Fred and Hermione.

"Nothing yet, we've just been keeping the kids company." Hermione said with a yawn.

"Hey why don't you get a little shut eye, if this one is like the last one she had, it'll be 8 in the morning before the little bugger is out!" Fred said with a laugh.

Hermione readjusted to where she was snuggled into Fred's lap and her legs where on the couch. Soon George and Ang came through, George slid under Hermione's legs and began rubbing her feet as Fred told him what all was going on.

Three hours had gone by and nothing yet, Charlie went into the delivery room only to be screamed at in French by Fleur to 'get out'.

"Kid huh? Well with her brains and your wit this kid will rule Hogwarts." George said with a smile staring at his own kids.

"You and Ang thinking of having any more?" Fred asked a little quieter so he didn't wake Hermione.

"I don't know, you know me Gred, I want a whole lot of them, a whole Quidditch team! But after Roxy…" George said, and then his face split into an enormous grin.

"DO IT AGAIN ROXY!" George flew toward the little babe on the floor.

"Huh? Whaaa?" Hermione woke hastily as Fred tried to lift her off him and follow his twin.

Just then the little babe on the floor sent the small elephant toy whizzing into the air and it enlarged, doubled in size. She then proceeded to squeeze and hug the huge elephant.

"Freddie! She's a witch! Did you see it! Ang! Roxy's a witch!" George lifted the small girl into his arms and ran toward Ang.

Another 6 hours later and Bill came busting into the room, waking everyone up, holding his new baby boy.

"Everyone meet Louis Arthur Weasley!" Bill said holding his new son.

"So does this mean we can get married now?!" Fred said smiling at the small infant and holding Hermione to him. Hermione gave him a small nudge in the ribs but she couldn't help but smile. She was ready to marry him too.

Friday came quicker than anyone anticipated. Fleur had been released from St. Mungos Thursday morning and was staying at the Burrow so Molly could help with the new addition. This also benefited Hermione and Fred, since Fleur was there she was all gung-ho about getting everything done for the wedding.

Fred stood there at the end of the make-shift aisle surrounded by silk ribbons and flowers just in front of the lake where he and Hermione had their drunken conversation just months ago. I can't believe I'm marrying her, and she's having my kid! Merlin how did I manage this? Fred thought, and as if George was reading his mind, which to be fair he probably was, he looked to his twin and nudge his elbow and nodded in the direction of which Hermione would be coming.

Just then a sweet melody started to play and He saw her. She was being escorted by Harry and Ron together and she looked unbelievable. Fred stood there, mouth ajar as he watch the most beautiful thing walk slowly towards him. Well fuck me. She IS going to be the death of me! He thought as she stopped in front of him. He stood there gaping at her, eyes slightly tear filled.

"Uh, Fred... I'm trying to hand her off to you…" Harry said waking Fred from his trance. The crowd laughed at this.

"Right! Sorry Harry! Thanks! And Ron… Thanks!" Fred said giving them both a quick hug, then turning to look at Hermione who was laughing along with the crowd.

"Something distracting you Freddie?" Hermione smirked with a twinkle in her eye.

"Just the most beautiful witch I've ever laid eyes on!" Fred said with a wink and gave her a quick peck on the cheek, the crowd 'oooed' and 'ahhhhed' at that.

"Shall we?" Kingsley said to the couple.

"MOST DEFINITELY!" Fred exclaimed tugging Hermione closer to him.

Kingsley did a wonderful ceremony full of personal stories of both Hermione and Fred, heroic events and some humorous ones. By the end Fred was getting antsy to kiss his bride.

"Mr. Weasely, any particular reason why you're bouncing?" Kingsley said as he finished.

"I'm waiting for you to say, 'You may kiss the bride!'" Fred said enthusiastically and the crowd lost it. Even Hermione snorted at his retort.

"Well by all means, you may kiss your bride!" Kingsley said in a fit of laughter.

But Hermione stopped laughing as she saw how amazing Fred looked. It was as if time slowed down, she looked into his chocolate eyes and melted. He cupped the back of her head with one hand and the other behind her back. The kiss was so deep and passionate. It was as if Fred and Hermione poured every ounce of love they had for each other into it. And it showed, their family was on their feet whistling and shouting for joy. But the couple heard nothing, they saw no one. Only each other and the fireworks that were between them. It felt like hours had passed before they broke apart and they help their hands clasped together up into the air in triumph!
