We Found Love
024. Sweetest Devotion

It had been a long and difficult day. The babysitter cancelled last minute, and Fleur had a major deadline coming up and Belle had a vet appointment. Fleur took a deep breath as she climbed out of the car. She picked Victorie up, shouldering the diaper bag and grabbing Belle's leach.

The dog eagerly jumped out of the car, headed into the vet's office. While this was a new vet, Belle loved seeing the vet because that meant she got lots of attention and treats.

"Welcome to The Burrow, how can I assist you today?" the dark haired receptionist asked with a smile.

"I have an appoint at four," Fleur answered.

The receptionist nodded, tapping away on the counter. "Dr. Weasley will be ready in a few minutes," she said.

Belle ran towards the waiting area, spotting the dish of treats. Fleur handed the dog a treat before collapsing into an empty chair. She leaned back, closing her eyes. This was the closest thing she had to a peaceful moment all day.

The moment vanished when she heard someone calling her name.

"Ms. Delacour," a vet assist with brown hair called. "Dr. Weasley will see you now."

Fleur stood up with Belle prancing around as they followed the assist into the examination room.

Fleur stopped, her eyes widening at the sight of the vet. "Charlie?" she asked.

The vet looked up, meeting her eyes. His eyes widened. "Fleur?"

She nodded. For several reasons, Fleur remembered Charlie from their one-night stand almost two years ago. He was the father of Victorie. "It's been awhile," she said awkwardly.

"How have you," his voice trailed off at the sight of Victorie. His blue eyes widened. The baby had red hair, blue eyes, and familiar cheekbones. "Sophie, give us moment."

The assist nodded, exiting the exam room, leaving the pair in awkward and tense silence.

"How old is she?" Charlie asked, his voice strained.

"She's yours," Fleur stated. "Victorie is eleven months.

Nodding, Charlie took in every detail of his daughter. He stepped closer. "I know this is a little backwards," he said, "but would you be up to joining me for dinner tonight?"

Her heart skipped a beat. "Just me or both of us?"

Charlie looked up at her. "Just you, tonight," he answered. "We have a lot to talk about." He turned his gaze to Victorie. "Can I hold her?" he asked.

Fleur took Victorie out of her car-seat, gently placing her in Charlie's arms.
