Chapter 12: 14 Weeks
Hermione was getting things all wrapped up when Fred's muggle cellphone started to ring. He thought these contraptions were brilliant! Why the wizarding world didn't get them sooner he wasn't sure!
"Uh, 'Mione? I'll be right back…" Fred said as he kissed her head and walked outside into the main hallway. She smiled up at him and continued to talk with the healer witch.
"Hello?" Fred asked. "Uh… Yeah this is Fred Weasley….Ttt…Today? Uh yeah that sounds good. Okay thank you! Yes see you there!" Fred hung up just at Hermione came out of the door, loaded with books and pamphlets.
Figures she'd come out with the whole bloody library! Fred thought as he smiled at the witch struggling to juggle the large tomes and many blue and pink leaflets with babies on them.
"R..ready to go Freddie?" Hermione stuttered as she dropped some papers and a couple books.
Fred gathered up the bits she dropped and put them into a bag he transfigured out of one of the leaflets about baby sign language.
"Fred! I was really wanting to read that one!" Hermione whined as she stomped her foot at him.
He laughed at her some more and grabbed another from the shelf behind her head.
"There happy love?" Fred snorted as he grabbed Hermione's hand and headed toward the floo.
"August can't come any sooner!" Fred said squeezing Hermione's hand as they walked through the green flames back into their flat. Hermione smiled up at him, but as she looked around her smile fell.
"You alright love?" Fred asked tucking a tendril behind her ear giving her a small kiss on the nape of her neck.
"We're having twins Freddie…" Hermione whispered spinning to look into his eyes.
"Yes sweetie, we are!" Fred said in a loud whisper back to her.
"You…Me….Thing 1 & Thing 2…. In this flat…" Hermione said slowly.
Good, she wants to move! Good thing that realtor called today! Fred thought with a stupid grin across his face.
"Fred? I'm upset about this and you've got a stupid grin on your face…" Hermione said almost with tears in her eyes.
"Oh love! No! HA! What time is is?" Fred asked looking around to find the clock.
"11:00… What?" Hermione asked Fred curious why her husband was running around the flat trying to find something.
"We've got to go! Where's my thicker cloak?" Fred asked throwing pillows and blankets all over the room looking for it.
"Achem…" Hermione cleared her throat and held the cloak in her hands out to him.
"Oh.. Thanks love!" Fred bounced up kissed her cheek. He grabbed her hands and before she could protest they spun and apparated on the spot to a nice little country lane lined with trees.
"Mr. Weasley?" A voice behind them asked as a very tall dark man with bright blue eyes and a welcoming smile approached them with open hands.
"Yes, Mr. Wells? This is my lovely bride Hermione. Hermione, this is Mr. Wells he's going to be showing us something very special today…" Fred said shaking the man's hand very hard.
They walked down the lane and the dirt turned into gravel, the gravel turned into pavement. At the end of the pavement was a beautiful stone house, two stories with a dark brown wooden wrap around porch. The ground sloped downhill which allowed the house to have a walkout basement in the back. The front of the house was full of flowers, bushes and trees. Although it was December the yard seemed to have a greenhouse like charm on them.
"Oh Fred!" Hermione gasped, she looked at him with teary eyes, pleading him to run into the house.
"Go on, and check out the last room on the right…" Fred said caressing her cheek with his fingertips.
Hermione dashed away from the men and raced into the house. It was gorgeous, like a mountain cabin. The outer walls were stone and there were exposed wooden beams all across the ceiling and the walls separating the rooms. Hermione grazed her fingers along the walls as she followed the hallway to the last room on the right.
A private lilbrary?! Hermione was in utter shock. She was looking at 6 meter high walls with shelves lined with books upon books. But as she got a little closer she noticed something…
"Pride and Prejudice… Jane Erye? Shakespeare's Sonnets… The Great Gatsby?! These… these!" Hermione said as she spun around to see Fred just in the doorway.
"These are your books…" Fred said trying to gage her reaction… Her face was a little confusing.
Say something… Say something! Please don't be mad… Fred thought as he walked over to her, grabbing her hips and slowly pulling her into him.
"Are you mad at me love?" Fred asked with big puppy dog eyes.
"I..um… No… I'm not mad I'm just, well it's a lot to process!" Hermione said as he head fell onto Fred's shoulder.
"Is..is it ours?" Hermione asked as she looked up towards her husband's face.
"If you'd like it to be, all you have to do is say so." Fred said giving her a peck on her nose.
Hermione pondered for a minute just as Mr. Wells came through the door, he gave her a smile.
"Well Mrs. Weasley? What will it be?" Mr. Wells asked.
Hermione turned to Fred who looked so full of love and curiosity.
He found this place just for us… He put so much thought into it… Hermione thought as she absentmindedly traced circles around her protruding belly.
"Yes." Hermione said and she shook Mr. Wells' hand.
Just ask they were heading up the lane a large stag patronus appeared giving a message in Harry's voice.
"Ginny's had an accident! We're heading to St. Mungos now, please come when you can…"
Harry's voice sounded terrified and miserable at the same time. Fred shook Mr. Wells' hand and told him they would be in touch to complete the paperwork soon. He understood and told them to hurry, he wished everyone well.
"Fred…. I didn't like how he sounded…" Hermione said trying to put her cloak back on.
"I know… Let's hurry, you okay to apparate?" Fred asked giving her his arm. She took it and they spun into St. Mungos emergency waiting room. Mr. Weasley came running toward them blood shot eyes as if he had been crying.
"What's happened Dad? Is Ginny okay?!" Fred was holding back his tears watching his father trying to speak to them out of breath.
"She's fine, well sort of… Physically she's okay… Oh Fred…" Mr. Weasley started as George and Angelina showed up. They all agreed to learn about what was going on once the whole family had gotten there.
"Okay…" Mrs. Weasley gathered everyone around just after Ron was able to come.
"How's Ginny?"
"What's going on?"
"Is everything okay?"
All the children were berating their parents about the youngest.
"Dears… She's…. They've… Oh Arthur I can't say it!" Molly cried into her husband's chest. He hugged her and cooed her softly.
"They've lost the baby…" Mr. Weasley said with such sad eyes as his wife was shaking uncontrollably in his arms.
The room was full of gasps and cries, thank full there weren't any children there, Angelina's parents had Fred II and Roxanne. While Fluer's parents had their three.
Just then Harry came into the room, looking like he hadn't slept in days.
"Hermione… Ginny's asking for you… No Fred… Just Ginny. Please just don't fight this…" Harry asked almost breaking into tears again.
Hermione looked to Fred and he nodded giving her a kiss, then lowering his head to kiss her stomach.
Why do I feel so guilty? We have two healthy babies… And now my baby sister… She's lost hers…
Harry took Hermione into the hospital room with Ginny laying on the bed looking fairly disheveled. There weren't any healers in the room so the group had perfect privacy.
"Ginny?" Hermione asked sweetly as she crossed the room, she moved the small witch's hair behind her ear.
"Oh 'Mione!" Ginny wailed as she pulled Hermione onto the bed with her. Hermione didn't have to ask what happened. Ginny went straight into the story.
Ginny is the Senior Qudditch Correspondent and she took that position so she wouldn't have to worry about the stress of the game, so her and Harry could start a family. When Ginny arrived for work today the Holyhead Harpies' head coach wasn't there today and there were some new recruits that needed to be shown some of their plays. Ginny opted to show some of the recruits the plays, nothing too serious just flying maneuvers. Well the wind was blowing a little harder than she anticipated and when she was landing she crashed into the pressbox that was on the ground. The force of the impact caused her to go into premature labor and the baby didn't survive, even with all the spells the healers could think of. Their little girl just wasn't old enough, 14 weeks old.
"Rosaline Molly… That's her name…" Harry said softly.
"Oh Harry, Ginny I'm so so sorry!" Hermione was crying and the girls just laid there hugging each other. Harry stood and crossed over to join the two. They laid there hugging and crying for a few minutes before Ginny said to let the family in, she was ready.
It wasn't long before the room was filled with redheads, Fred never left Hermione's side. He was possessively touching her stomach and rubbing her belly.
"They're fine love, don't worry so much. Are you ready to go home?" Hermione asked sleepily.
"Which one love?" Fred asked hopeful.
"The flat tonight… After all this today I just want something familiar." Hermione said standing to give her goodbyes to the family.
"Congratulations…" George whispered to Fred and Hermione as they hugged.
"Thank you…." They whispered back. "We'll invite everyone over soon." Fred finished as he gave Ang a quick peck on her head.
The couple walked back into the flat sluggishly. Fred sent a tiding spell around the house for everything to go back to how it was as Hermione got ready for bed. It didn't take Fred long, he just stripped down to his boxers and hopped into bed. Hermione couldn't help but smile seeing the red head playing hide-and-seek with her with their bed covers. She kept imagining three little redheads doing the same thing in the near future.
