Charlie and Ana had been secretly married for nearly four months now and Charlie was ready to tell everyone about their niece/granddaughter. His mum called him downstairs where he noticed all his family here.
"Sit down, Charlie," his mum instructed.
He did as told and sat in the chair on the other side of Bill.
"I found this ring and I want to know who's it is," Molly said, putting the ring on the table.
Charlie hid a smile of recognition.
"It's not mine," Ron said.
"It's not mine either," Ginny said.
Molly sighed. "I know it's not Bill's or Charlie's"
"What makes you think it's not mine?" Charlie asked.
"You haven't mentioned a girl since Adelina."
"That's not her ring," Charlie said. "It was her cousin Ana's promise ring. The green stone is a peridot and the blue stone is turquoise. They're our birthstones."
"So you cheated on Adelina?"
"What? No," Charlie answered. "If anything I cheated on Ana by taking her cousin to Bill's wedding. Although she gave us her blessing."
"If you were dating Ana then why couldn't she have come to Bill's wedding with you?" Molly asked suspiciously.
Charlie grinned. "She was busy taking care of our newborn daughter Bianca."
There was silence at Charlie's revelation.
"You . . . you have a daughter?" Molly asked sounding hurt.
"Yes. She's about a year and a half now." Charlie grinned happily.
Molly just walked away from the table. Charlie knew his mum would be upset.
"So we have a granddaughter?" Arthur asked quietly.
"Yes."
"I have a niece?" Ron and Ginny asked in unison.
"Yes. She reminds me of you when you were her age Ginny." Charlie smiled at his baby sister.
"Wow," Percy said. "I sure missed a lot when I was being a bloody idiot."
Charlie couldn't help but chuckle at his younger brother's reaction. The rest of the Weasley family got up from the table minus Bill, Charlie, and Arthur.
"Where is this girl and our granddaughter right now?" His father asked.
"They're in America. Ana is an American muggle born."
"How did you two meet?"
"She came to visit Adelina at the reserve. We started off as a fling but we developed feelings for each other. She found out she was expecting our daughter a week before Halloween."
"I can't fault you guys for that. After all, your mum was pregnant with Bill before we got married."
Charlie nodded.
"Muggleborn you say? So I'm assuming you didn't tell us about them since it wouldn't be safe with the war going on."
"Yes."
Arthur nodded. "I don't suppose you have a picture of your daughter and your girlfriend?"
Charlie grinned and handed the picture to his father.
"She's adorable. She looks like Ginny did at her age. Except she has hazel eyes."
"Yes, she inherited those from Ana." Charlie grinned.
Arthur nodded. "What does Ana do?"
"She's a freelance writer. Though, she could've been a healer."
"Is she the one who introduced you to that kettle corn confection?"
Charlie nodded. "Her best friend Deacon bought me a bag when we were buying our tree for Bianca's first Christmas. I ate the whole bag and it gave me a stomachache. Ana rubbed my stomach for awhile and felt a lot better."
Arthur nodded.

A few days later, Charlie was over Andromeda's helping her take care of Teddy.
"So how's the secret family in America?" Andromeda asked.
"Not so secret anymore. I told my parents and siblings almost everything a few days ago."
"What do you mean 'almost' everything."
Charlie grinned. "The only people that know are Bill and Fleur."
"Don't tell me that you got Ana pregnant again already."
Charlie chuckled at his best friend's mum's assumption. "No, not yet. We eloped almost four months ago."
"That's wonderful."
Charlie sighed. "It was a simple and sweet wedding. We'll have a bigger wedding once Ana is over here for good."
"I'm sure she looked pretty in her wedding dress."
"She looked absolutely gorgeous. Bianca was the flower girl."
"That's cute."
Charlie grinned.
"How did your parents and your siblings take the news of you having a girlfriend and a daughter?"
"My mum is mad at me for not telling her anything. My dad seemed surprised but accepting. I showed him the picture of Ana and Bianca."
Andromeda nodded.
