Responsibilities

Author's Note: this is my first Fred/Angelina fic. I honestly don't know why I'm starting to like this pair, but they're a fun couple and I decided to do this fic for them. It's their seventh year and there will be some other pairings in here.

Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter or the characters, but I do own this story. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~*~* Chapter 7

WHAT DO YOU MEAN ITS TIME FOR THE BABY!" yelled Angelina angrily as Madam Pomfrey talked to Fred. She was lying in one of the beds and was obviously very upset about all the pain she was going through. She clutched on tightly to the bed covers and glared at the nurse who had purposedly ignored her. "I'm three weeks early. This can't be happening!" she ranted, and dropped back into her pillows. Madam Pomfrey frowned at the girl's attitude towards the situation.

"I'm sure you'll be ok with her until I return with McGonagall and Proffesor Sprout?" she asked Fred. Fred looked over at the girl who was looking ready to strangle them both and nodded reluctantly. When the nurse left, Fred sat on the edge of Angelina's bed and took her hand into his, which she squeezed extremely tight as another contraction came along.

"You do realize I'm going to kill you once this baby is out of me right?" she asked, but with a smile. Fred grinned and kissed her forehead softly.

"Yeah, I know. But it'll all be worth it in the end right?" he asked, she frowned a bit.

"they say pain is pleasure, but I see nothing pleasurable about a tiny human coming out of my." she stopped when Dumbledore entered the room with all the Head houses strangely. "I'd rather not have them in here!" she yelled, pointing at the three men. Dumbledore , Snape, and Flitwick were quickly shoved out the room and Angelina crossed her arms. "Just make a show out of my giving birth, eh?" she asked Madam Pomfrey.

"I'm sorry dear. They must have followed us in after we went to gather these suplies for the birthing process." Said the nurse gently. Fred and Angelina both looked at what the three women had brought back and Fred jumped up.

"I think I should maybe go." He said quickly.

"You're the father. Weasley and you will stay.. Unless Miss Johnson request other wise?" asked McGonagall.

"He can leave. But when it's time for the actual both and this baby is coming out, you had better be in here Fredrick Weasley. Cuz Ron has been very supportive during my time of need and I have no problem having him here with me." Of course she was lying about having Ron be there while she was giving birth, but Fred didn't know this. He frowned a bit, but nodded.

"I've got to go handle some real quick business. I'll be back in five minutes tops." He promised and left. Professor Sprout turned to the other women once Fred had gone.

"I thought the Weasley boys were finally maturing with this being their last year. I guess nothings changed. Its not like the explosions have stopped any." She said and Angelina smiled. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

"Password Dear." Said the Fat lady when Fred had reached the portrait hold. Fred panted and tried to catch his breath.

"Uhh. Sodding prat!" he said and the portrait flew open, the fat lady muttering about the choice of passwords. When he entered the common room, his siblings, Lee, Harry, and Hermione were all sitting around and talking to each other. Ron looked up.

"Oy Fred, where's Angelina? You two didn't make up?" he asked. Fred waved his hand around, wishing he hadn't ran all the way to the Gryffindor tower.

"No, we made up, but she's in the hospital wing.. She's having the baby." He announced and they all jumped up, running around in panic mode. "What the hell are you guys doing! We're supposed to be on our way to the hospital wing! Ginny and Hermione, I need you guys to go owl mum and I'll need you four to come with me." Ordered Fred. They all obeyed and the boys followed Fred to the hospital wing. Unfortunately, the stair cases decided to change in the process.

"Well this is lucky." Muttered Ron, sitting down. When the staircase had stopped, Fred dragged them toward another direction into a hidden passage that led them out on the same floor as the hospital wing.

"Where have you been!" screamed Angelina. The guys all cringed. "

"What's going on? She isn't going through the labor stage already is she?" asked Ron. Madam Pomfrey shook her head.

"Just contractions. Very painful. " She answered and Angelina scowled.

"Who are you telling! Where are Hermione and Ginny? Why'd you bring all the guys and not Hermione and Ginny?" she panicked. Fred turned to the guys who backed away a few steps.

"They're t the owlery. I could go get them."

"Don't leave!" announced Angelina, grabbing his robe sleeve and looking up at him with pleading eyes.

"We'll go get them." Said Harry, nodding at Lee and they left. Ron sat down and George shook his head.

"Well, this certainly has been a very interesting week, hasn't it?" he asked and both Angelina and Fred glared at him. "But hey, the sooner you get the kid out, the better, eh?" he asked and Angelina groaned in pain, squeezing Fred's hand so tightly even he cringed.

"I hate you, I hate you, I hate you." She said between gritted teeth. Ron and George both exchanged looks.

"Can't blame her, can we." Ron whispered and George agreed. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The guys stood outside the hospital wing talking when Ginny and Hermione had returned and went in to comfort Angelina. Harry leaned against the wall and looked at Fred. "So, what do you think the baby'll be?" he asked. They had been standing out in the corridor for the past three hours and were becoming very tired. Fred shrugged.

"That's not what matters. What are you going when you get out of Hogwarts? You two haven't exactly got a shop up yet." Said Ron.

"That's not the problem right now." Said George. He turned around when he spotted Alicia and Katie coming in their direction with food.

"So, how is she?" asked Katie, handing out the plates of foods and snacks.

"No news yet, but we have heard a few mood swings." Answered Fred, leaning against the wall and not eating as the others ate graciously.

"What's wring Fred? Afraid something'll go wrong?" asked Alicia, sitting between him and George. He looked at her and nodded.

"Well you really shouldn't worry. Angfelina's a strong girl. Mind you, she is a chaser and has practically been knocked off her broom over a dozen times." Informed Katie.

"She's the crazy one of the three of us." Said Alicia and smiled at the Weasley. "Probably why you two are meant to be with each other." Suddenly, the door opened and Hermione came up, looking around and then spotted Fred.

"It's time!" she announced.
