Chapter Sixty Nine - Waiting
The newest branch of the Weasley family and the not so living twin were having a muggle day at the Airport. Mama Higurashi and Souta decided to not wait for Grandpa and his hypothetical portkey. The Elder Higurashi wasn't fond of flying and refused to rely on something heavier than air to cross half the globe. They hoped his friends manage to prepare the transportation in time.
George's in-laws were supposed to land early in the morning. Kagome, missing her family, barely got any sleep even after hours of his attention and by the sunrise was already hurrying them out of the bed. With only a few left with Fred and having his pregnant wife to care and pamper, George decided to close his shop for the week and give Verity some very deserved - and wanted, if her reaction was any indication - vacations. She was more than welcome to join the festivities but he highly doubted the was still in the country.
However, the fly was late due and the trio was waiting for over two hours already. Fred's excitation over the unknown place had already died and now only boredom remained. The display informed they would wait for at least half an hour more. Kagome woke up with her feet swollen and a hurting back so a walk wasn't an option.
When thirty minutes turned into an hour, the tiredness took over the Asian woman and she fell asleep with her head resting on George's shoulder. She grabbed his arms and snuggled on him until she found a position to comfortably place her four-month belly.
George looked at her in adoration for this little human brought him so much happiness and was carrying now the most special gift someone can receive. Carefully, he moved a lock of hair that insisted on tickling her small nose. He didn't realize he kept staring her until Fred cleared his throat.
"I'm here too, you know. And you," he pointed his index finger to the couple, "better remember that we are having guests or else they would witness the torrid romance between a saleswoman and her boss. Oh, now you are flushing? Remember to lock the door next time, maybe cast an Imperturbable Charm too. I doubt either of you knows how not to be so loud."
"Are you jealous, my dear brother?" George grinned in a very foxy way. "I can talk to Kagome about giving you a goodbye gift and we can sha- Ouch! It was a jo- Ouch! Okay, look but don't tou- Fine! I'll stop. I'm sorry, mate, I tried." Fred dismissed it with a wave of his hand. George leaned his head to place a kiss on his wife's temple and whisper in her ear. "Remember who shares the bed with you, koishii. And you happen to talk a lot in your sleep."
He felt her cheeks warming and she used his chest to hide her embarrassment. It wasn't her fault Fred was so good looking and happened to be his exactly like him. She knew and he knew it was only a tease. If there's a single thing he would never share with anyone was her.
A bit later than I expected but here it is! I hope you enjoy it!
Happy New Year! See you next week (hopefully!)
Please, send me your words! They mean the world to me!
