It was a couple days later, Esme was joining Lance and Sarah at the hospital so Sarah could find out the gender of their child.
"You nervous, Lance?" Esme asked.
"Incredibly nervous," he said.
She patted his back. "I was incredibly nervous about finding out if I was having a girl or a boy as well."
"Sarah Hall!"
Lance hopped up and helped his wife up. Esme followed her best friend and his wife to the ultrasound room.
"So, you're about four months along, Mrs. Hall?"
"Yes, I am."
The technician nodded. "Who do you have here with you?"
Lance smiled. "My best friend and soon-to-be godmother of our child."
"Me?"
"Yes."
Esme smiled at him as the examination started.
"I can't believe that's our child," Sarah sniffled.
"We made that little creature," Lance sighed.
Esme couldn't help but be jealous. She couldn't have done this with Jessie's father but maybe if she ends up with Charlie. He'll be excited to find out the gender of their child.
"You have a daughter, Mr. and Mrs. Hall," she told them.
"We have a daughter?" Lance asked.
"Yes, you'll have a daughter in December."

It was a couple of days later, she decided to visit Bill at Gringotts. She walked to his office and knocked. She waited a few seconds and checked the door it was locked. Bill wasn't one to lock his office door. She put her ear to his door and immediately heard a series of moans. She didn't know if that was Fleur or Bill moaning. She couldn't decide if she wanted to open the door and interrupt or let them have their alone time.
"Well, I hope you're using protection, William," she teased walking in.
Her best friend looked up at her from between his girlfriend's legs. "How did you get in?"
"Did you forget I was top in Charms in my year," Esme smirked.
"Yes."
"At least you're using protection, I'm surprised that it's muggle protection," she said noticing a condom wrapper on his desk.
"It was awkward buying them because I didn't know what I was doing."
"Typical Pureblood," she laughed.
"So, did you just come to interrupt me while I'm fucking?"
"Language, Mister," she teased. "I haven't seen you outside the 'you know what."
"Yeah, we haven't hung out lately."
"I'll let you finish with Fleur and contact me later," she winked at the younger girl.
"Okay."
Esme walked out of his office and left Gringotts. She picked up Jessica from Gretchen's and took her home. About an hour later, Bill came through the floo.
"So, how long have you wanted to shag Fleur?" she teased.
"Honestly, from the minute I saw her," he sighed sitting down on the couch.
"Weasley, you have it bad," she giggled.
Bill didn't deny it. "Just like you have it bad for Charlie."
"I completely do."
"You know I haven't felt this way since that bitch Emily broke my heart."
She smiled. "I guess this means you can interrupt if/when Charlie and I shag."
"It's only fair since you interrupted me and Fleur. I'm so bloody taken with her that I would cut my hair off if she asked me to," Bill said running his fingers through his hair.
"I bet she finds your long hair attractive, I mean Charlie's hair isn't as long but I certainly find it sexy," Esme sighed longingly sitting on the couch.
"I've always been envious that Charlie could grow a great beard and I can only grow a puny little mustache."
She giggled. "I remember you trying to grow a mustache a few times but it looked so creepy."
Suddenly Bill's stomach growled loudly to interrupt the conversation.
"You hungry, Bill?"
"Starving."
"I'll order some take out I don't fancy calling the fire department because of you trying to cook."
Bill huffed. "That was once."
"Once try three times," she laughed.
He sighed. "Okay. It better hurry. I'm bloody starving."
She laughed and picked up the phone to order the food as Jessie started to cry.
"Can you go check on her?" she asked.
Bill nodded and walked to Jessie's room.
"Unc Bill!" she exclaimed happily.
He smiled, picked her up and walked out of her room.
"Mummy!"
Esme took her daughter from Bill as they sat down.
"You know my brother-in-law came over the day that Charlie and I confessed our feelings for each other."
"How did that go?"
"I introduced him to Jessie."
Bill nodded. "You miss your sister, don't you?"
"I do."
A few minutes later, the takeaway delivered and Esme paid. Bill grabbed the first box of Chinese food and began stuffing his face. The two friends just chatted until Bill left later that night.
