Chapter Forty-Three: Another Weasley Christmas
"James will you tell people to stop putting their head on my stomach. No matter how many times they press their ears to my stomach, they're not going to hear the baby." Mya complained as she walked into the kitchen. James was sitting down at the table grading papers. She had just gotten back from her doctor's appointment and threw her scarf and jacket up on the table. "I just started to show, not that long ago and everyone wants to take the opportunity to listen to my stomach. It's starting to creep me out."
"Mya honey, they're just all excited. It's Harry Potter's first grandchild." James said taking Mya's hand and pulling her into his lap "You're five months pregnant, everyone wants to know what we're going to name the baby, what sex the baby is. You didn't exactly give them much when you announced you were pregnant."
"I didn't know much James. I just found out that we're having a girl. I don't want the whole world to know before I tell your family and my family-"
"We're having a girl?" James said jumping up "We're going to have a little girl!"
Mya smiled and nodded, forgetting that her husband wasn't with her when she found out the sex of the baby. Mya had insisted that James finished grading the papers, so they could go over to The Burrow for Christmas Eve Dinner.
"Please tell me that we can tell them tonight that we're having a girl." James said "It would be a great Christmas girl to my grandmother."
"Yes James we can tell them we're having a girl." Mya smiled "I'm going to go change then we can get going."
"Mya, you look beautiful you know that?" James told his wife "I love you with all my heart. I can't believe we are going to have a daughter."
"So you're not upset that we're not having a son?" Mya asked "Because I know you were saying that you wanted a little boy."
"Mya, I wanted a little boy so I could teach him how to play Quidditch and he could grow up to be like me, but I could still teach our little girl how to play Quidditch and she can grow up to be like her mother. You know I think we're going to make great parents." James smiled
"Don't get ahead of yourself honey. I still have three more months of pregnancy and then I have to go through childbirth." Mya laughed before walking up the stairs to go get changed for the party.
When James and Mya got to The Burrow they were welcomed with open arms. Ginny took Mya's hand and lead her into the living room where everyone was sitting. Rose sat on Scorpius lap and Harmony was sitting in front of Albus on the floor. The two of them were welcome as parts of the family now.
"Grandma wouldn't let us eat until we found out the sex of the baby, so let's hear it. Boy or girl? I got five gallons with Dom that it's a boy." Louis said giving his older sister a smug look
"I'm telling you it's going to be a girl Louis." Dominique sighed blowing a hair out of her face
"Ignore them." Lily said glaring at her cousins. I want to know if I'm getting a niece or nephew."
Mya smiled and took James' hand. "We're having a little girl."
"YES! I SO TOLD YOU LOUIS! FORK OVER THE FIVE GALLONS YOU OWE ME!" Dominique shouted in her brother's ear
"I'm getting a niece! I'm going to spoil her rotten." Lily exclaimed
"I can't believe I'm going to have a grand-daughter." Harry said beaming at his son and daughter-in-law
"I think we made them all happy." Mya smiled
"Can we go eat dinner now Grandma." Dominique asked as Louis started to hand over his five gallons
"Plus important encore les cadeaux après le dîner grand-mere." Louis said
"You don't azk when you can open your giftz Louis. Don't bug Molly." Fleur lectured her seventeen year old son
"Poor little Louis seventeen years old and you're still being babied." Fred laughed as he walked into the kitchen
Louis muttered something untranslatable under his breath in French. Roxanne laughed and patter her cousin's shoulder.
"You should just hit him Louis."
"Ressemble plus à tuer." He muttered
Dominique and Victorie, who both over heard and understood their brother gave him a look. Louis only shrugged his shoulders and then walked into the kitchen.
"I really need to learn how to speak fluent French, so I can understand your family." Teddy said before picking up Remus and Gabby and bringing them into the kitchen.
"I can't believe the twins are going to be turning four in a few weeks." Mya said as she helped Teddy slip Remus into his booster seat
"And I can't believe you're going to be having a little girl in a few months." Teddy said smiling at her "I remember when you and James were little. You know you never had a baby doll stage I don't believe, you were too busy chasing after frogs and toads."
"That's what happens when a boy is your best friend and you're raised up as basically another Weasley." Mya said smiling and looking around at the people who had finally become her family
"Let's face it, if you weren't like that, James probably never would have fallen in love with you, you wouldn't be a Potter and you wouldn't be carrying my niece." Lily shrugged
"I'll take that as a compliment Lily." Mya laughed
"James, you're going to be coming over tomorrow for Christmas right?" Ginny asked passing a plate of potatoes to Lucy
"We have to go visit Neville first at Hogwarts to tell him about his grand-daughter, but after that we should be over." James said nodding to his mother
"James, Mya shouldn't be flooing around anymore. You should have Neville come to her." Molly said scolding her younger cousin
"You're twenty-one and you're still a know it all Molly." James said glaring at his cousin
"James be nice to your cousin. I don't care if you're both grown ups, I'm still you're grandmother and you have to listen to me." Molly said scolding her two grandchildren
"She is right though James. My doctor advised me not to floo anymore. That's why we took the car." Mya pointed out
"I thought we took the car, so we could rub it in Al's face that I got a new one." James said
"No James, that's why you wanted to bring the car." Mya said rolling her eyes as Albus shot James a dirty look from across the table
"Well let's get this awkward air behind us. I've been dying to know are you planning on naming the baby after your side of the family or our side of the family Mya?" Ginny asked her daughter-in-law
"I actually wanted to give the baby your name for a middle name, if that's alright Ginny. I don't know a first name yet, but I will have to find something that goes with Ginevra."
Hazel burst into a fit of giggles at the sound of her aunt's name. Hermione shot her daughter a look, but Hazel ignored it.
"You know that's your aunt's name Hazel, why are you laughing?" Ron asked when he realized his wife's angry looks weren't working on their daughter
"I'm sorry daddy, but come on how can you not laugh at Ginevra?" Hazel asked
"She's kind of right dad." Hugo shrugged "Aunt Ginny does have a funny name."
"You're all grown adults you shouldn't be laughing at things like that." Hermione tried lecturing
"Don't even bother with them mom. No matter how old they get, they're always going to act like children." Rose scoffed
"Oh you're one to talk, Miss. After-dinner-we-should-have-a-snowball-fight-guys." Fred mocked
"That was three years ago Fred."
"You're point."
"I was fourteen!"
"You know we should have a snowball fight after dinner you guys."
Everyone turned and gave Hugo a funny look.
"What? It's for old time's sake you guys. It's Christmas Eve after all." Hugo shrugged
"Boys verses girls." Dominique shouted before jumping up from the table and running to grab her snow supplies
James pecked Mya on the check. "I'm going to go show those girls who's boss."
"I'll watch the twins Victoire and Teddy, you should go out and play with your cousins." Molly offered her grand-daughter
"I'm a grown women grand-mere." Victoire laughed
"Yes, but you are a Weasley, so go act like one." Bill said smiling at his daughter
Victoire smirked and grabbed Teddy by the arm. "We haven't done this in forever." She laughed as she led him outside.
"This is ridiculous." Rose scoffed "They're all acting like children."
"Oh let's go have a little fun Rosie. We need a little fun." Scorpius insisted dragging the reluctant Rose out of the kitchen
"I say we show those kid's who's boss!" Ron insisted pushing his chair back. His family gave him a funny look and he blushed. "That is what they say right?"
"Promise me to never say that again Ron, and we'll go join them in the snowball fight." George laughed as he grabbed Angelina's hand
Soon all of the adults were outside among all of their kids. They all looked like they were having fun and even Molly and Rose had smiles on their faces. Mya watched from the window and couldn't help but smile at their family, her family.
One big Weasley family snowball fight! I'm sorry if the two Molly's were confusing. It's not my fault Percy decided to name his daughter after his mother. This chapter was kind of boring, but I put the family finding out that the baby was a girl. Up next baby drama. Oh up above when Louis speaks in French he said more importantly when we get to open presents after dinner grandma and then he says more like kill. Any ways please REVIEW and I will update quicker.
