Chapter 6

Fred said after Harry told them about the reason behind Rose having to have babies "Well I guess it is our obligation to shag as many girls as possible."

Rose chuckled and said "since when have you needed an excuse?"

Ginny asked worriedly "I don't have to get pregnant do I?"

Rose said "Not if you don't want to. No one is going to make you if you don't want to. Unless you are put in Dovewing but I don't think you will be, you'll be a Gryffindor."

Ginny said "Good. I want babies someday but not yet."

Rose smiled and said "There is nothing better then holding your own little baby in your arms and looking down at his little face. Knowing you created that little miracle and all of the pain you experienced before that is all forgotten. I can still hear his healthy little cry sometimes in my head."

Ron said "Rose that isn't in your head it is coming from down stairs."

They all ran downstairs where Jane and Michael Yearnling were holding the screaming baby.

Rose didn't even think about asking permission she took the baby and put him under her shirt where he latched on and was silent.

Jane said relieved "thank god he stopped crying. He hasn't stopped crying since we left with him. He won't eat or sleep all he does is cry."

Rose took the baby into the other room while Molly tried to comfort and calm the weary young couple and sent the children outside to play and be out of the way. Molly made some tea while they talked.

Jane said "I know babies cry but it has been none stop. We took him to see a healer but they couldn't find anything wrong with him. All they could do was tell us to use a silencing spell if he wouldn't stop but it didn't stop him from crying it just made him silent about it. He won't eat or sleep either. We don't know what to do."

Molly said "he could be colicky some babies are he might be sensitive to the formula you are using. It has only been a few days he might simply need to get used to you."

Michael said "we don't want him back. We clearly are not meant to be parents. A baby is too much work and too much trouble. That is why we brought him back to the girl. We brought his things that we bought for him you are welcome to keep them. But we don't want him."

Molly said "You can't be serious. Rose is just a little girl you can't expect her to raise a baby. She only got pregnant knowing you would take the baby. You can't do this to her."

Michael said "I don't care if you keep him or not but we are done with him."

They had run out of the house by now and the children had heard it all. Michael and Jane left.

Harry asked "They didn't just really do that did they? They really are going to make Rose raise her baby?"

Molly said "we need to let Dumbledore know maybe he can change their minds."

They went back into the house to find the baby asleep in Rose's arms she was smiling down at him happier then Molly had ever seen her.

Rose said "isn't he handsome."

Molly went to her and said "yes he is. Rose the Yearnlings left."

Rose said "that is alright I will look after the baby so they can get some rest until they come back."

Harry said "They aren't coming back. They said they don't want him."

Rose asked "why not he's perfect?"

Molly said "they said he cried to much."

Rose said "all babies cry it is how they express themselves and what they need or feel or just need to exercise their voice."

Molly said "I know I have had plenty of crying babies to take care of."

Rose said "well I am just going to have to take care of him myself until another family can be found. I mean if it's alright with everyone that is."

Molly said "of course it is alright with us. I should send Dumbledore an owl letting him know about what happened."

Molly left the room as the others got a closer look at the baby.

It took Dumbledore two days to get back to the Weasley's. It was in the evening when he arrived. Arthur was holding and playing with the baby. It had taken Arthur about 3 seconds after seeing the baby to fall in love with him and start calling him his grandson. It had taken about that long for him to unofficially adopt Harry and Rose too.

Molly showed him in and he couldn't help but chuckle at how happy Arthur looked surrounded by his children, foster children and the baby he said "this is not the screaming little banshee the Yearnlings told me about."

Rose said "My son is not a banshee he is a good boy who needs people who understand about babies and their needs."

Arthur said "My grandson is perfect."

The baby smiled up at him Dumbledore smirked and said "Perhaps the Yearnlings were not prepared for a baby."

Harry said "they weren't ready for a pet rock let alone a baby."

Rose said "Harry be nice not everyone is cut out to be a parent. At least they realized they didn't have what it takes and brought him back to me so we can find someone else."

Arthur said "Molly and I have been talking and Rose and Dumbledore if it's alright with the two of you we would like your babies to come and live with us."

Rose asked "Really you mean it? You are absolutely the best parents in the whole world. Professor please say it's alright."

Dumbledore said "you do realize Rose will be having at least 10 babies through Dovewing assuming she doesn't have any twins."

Arthur said "Yes but we are experienced parents and financially I am sure Rose and Harry can divide what is in their vault equally and Rose can provide for her children and as I understand it there is more then enough to support the children until Rose finishes school and starts working."

Dumbledore said "Financially there is no problem at all. Rose has her half of the Potter inheritance plus she has a property and vault set aside for her through Dovewing. What I meant was you have 7 children of your own. You have taken in Harry and Rose. Are you sure you want to take in 10 or more of Rose's babies on top of all of that?"

Molly said "absolutely. Bill and Charlie are grown and out of the house. Percy only has a few more years left of school. Ginny starts school this fall. It will not be long before grandchildren come into the picture anyway I am sure. Rose's babies will simply be our first grandchildren. They will grow up knowing Rose is their mother and be loved and cared for just like they should."

Rose said "Please Professor you told me there is no power stronger in the universe then the power of a mothers love. My babies need that kind of magic in their lives."

Dumbledore said "if you don't think it will be to hard then I will allow it. Rose and Harry your uncle and aunts funeral is tomorrow if you want to go I will take you."

Rose said "we will go for Dudley."

Dumbledore said "I will pick you up at 11."
