Molly walked from bedroom to bedroom at Grimmauld Place putting on new sheets and spoofing up whatever she could. She sighed as she sat on the bed her and Arthur occupied. Tears came to her eyes as she hunched over her shoulders and stared at the floor. Arthur was at work but should be home soon, because he had to guard.....Molly had such a bad feeling. Just as she thought this she heard the front door open.

"MollyWobbles! I'm home, come down, I have something for you!" Molly got up and went downstairs into the kitchen where her husband had a bag. He smiled at her and she smiled back...Having no clue that the person standing in front of her would be tortured in the next hour.

"Open it." He said, shoving the bag in front of her. She smiled at him first and opened the purple bag.

She pulled out three small baby shirts that said I love Mommy. Molly looked up at him and laughed, her tears starting again.

"I love it." He nodded and grabbed her into a tight hug.

"How was your day?" She nodded, "good." He rubbed his hand threw her hair and smiled, moving down to her back and moving his hand in circles. They broke apart a few moments later and Arthur smiled as Molly looked at him apprehensively.

"I have to go." He said as he grabbed his cloak. Molly knew he wouldn't leave without saying goodbye but she Was so scared of him walking out that door for some reason. So, she did the only thing she could think to do, stall, even though what she was going to say was true.

"Arthur, it's really starting to hurt I don't know why."

"Molly, love it's okay. Its Braxton-Hicks, you had them with the twins, it's okay love, I have to go I'm sorry."

"Arthur." She said quietly as she clung to him, her bulging stomach at his side. He did his best to pry her fro him after five minutes. She'd been doing this every time he had to go somewhere nowadays.

"Molly, I'll be home before you know it. We've all guarded, its alright." Molly shook her head and sobbed. Finally, concluding she couldn't not let him go, kissed him goodbye, and hugged him tight.

"I love you so much, Arthur. Just be careful, I need you and tonight is not the night for a duel, I really want you to hold me." He smiled, kissing her one last time and leaving. Just before he shut the door, he turned back and gave her his famous goofy smile she loved so much.

"I love you MollyWobbles. I promise I'll be home soon, nothing's gonna stop me from coming home to you tonight, I know you need me love." Molly nodded.

"I always have, tonight just isn't an exception." With a smile and a blown kiss the door shut and Molly watched out the window as Arthur apparated.

Molly sighed and sat on the kitchen chair, looking at the bag Arthur had just been holding, and doing her best to remember how it had just felt to hold him.

IN THE ATRIUM.

Arthur walked along the corridors quietly, looking at the shimmering bubbles lining the walls, it was amazing that such a small thing could cause such trouble if in the wrong hands. Arthur turned as he heard something move behind him, but when he turned, nothing was there. He shrugged and decided just to stay alert....that really didn't last and he realized this when he woke up an hour later...With something leaning over him...and covered in sticky red goo. The hall echoed with his screams then he feel silent.

AT ST. MUNGOS

"How could it have happened though?" Tonks shook her head and held Molly tight. Remus was on the floor kneeling before her. He stared up at Tonks and she sighed.

"Molly, its okay. Arthur's tough, everything will be fine."

"Tonks, what if something happens to me if something happens to him? Where will my kids go?"

"I'd take them, or my Mum, or Bill, your family is close knit and if you didn't feel right with one of us , then three of your boys are of age." Molly nodded as a healer came through the white, glass double doors. They all looked up at him and he smiled.

"Stop making those kind of arrangements, you and your husband will be the only ones raising those kids."
