My Muggle Girlfriend 88 - Expectations
Few things were more boring than waiting rooms. Umbridge's D.A.D.A. class was one of them, Percy's lectures back when he was a kid could be on that list too. Yet, it couldn't hinder the excitement of seeing his child again, even if through a screen.
Unfortunately, Mama H, Grandpa H and Souta left earlier that day - the portkey activated in the morning - and couldn't be there with them. Not an hour later after their departure, Kagome got a message reminding her of an appointment that same afternoon, which she was thankful for since she completely forgot about it.
As George explained Fred what was about to happen in case it was another transvaginal ultrasound - and Fred absolutely refused to be in the same room if that happened - the nurse called Kagome's name and told the males to wait outside while the soon-to-be mother got ready.
Fred looked at the nurse then back at George with a frown. "Do they put something that big you know… down there?" George nodded. "Muggles are weirder than I could imagine."
George snorted to hold a laugh. "It's for a good cause. You can hear their hearts beating so fast, mate. Last time, she was only this big." His fingers formed a C two inches wide. "Now she must be the size of an avocado." Fred nodded and said nothing, listening eagerly George's words.
As George explained, the nurse came back.
"Mr Weasley." Both twins raised their heads. The nurse stared at the duo for a moment, probably trying to decide which one was the father, then dismissed it. "Mrs Weasley is ready."
The nurse guided them through the corridor, excitedly telling the importance of the sixteenth-week ultrasound. George pretended to be surprised by the fact that if he was lucky, he might find out the sex of the baby as if he didn't know it would be a girl. They stopped in front of a room where Kagome was laying in a bed with her belly exposed. She waved at them, signalling that they were blocking the technician's entrance.
The technician, Mr Robinson, smiled at the twins as he entered the room. "Hello again, Mr Weasley, Mrs Weasley. Any problems since the last appointment? I'm happy to announce that morning sickness, nausea, mood swings, and other symptoms shall lessen, if not stop at all, now that you are in your second trimester."
"Thank, Merlin," George whispered to Fred, sighing in relief.
Kagome snorted softly and hissed when the cold gel touched her skin. Robinson put the probe on her abdomen and tracked the fetus. Soon, the beats filled the room. George grabbed Kagome's hand, the soon-to-be mother had tears in the corner of her eyes.
George turned to Fred and found his brother looking mesmerized at the monitor, with parted lips and eyes wide open.
The tender moment was broken when Mr Robinson stood abruptly. He excused himself and left the room, leaving two parents and an uncle worried.
