Pairing: Fred Weasley and Me!!!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Fred sat on his bed and grinned at his sleeping twin, they'd just gotten back from an exhausting meeting that had gone no where. Sighing Fred picked up the phone and dialed the familiar number and waited until his lovely wife to pick up.
// He called her on the road From a lonely cold hotel room //
"Hello?" Alyssa asked, (that's me!) picking up the phone.
"Hullo, sweetie." Fred smiled at the sound of her voice. Her voice was so inviting that he hated to be away from her and the kids.
"Fred!" She exclaimed, but continued, "How's your trip so far?"
// Just to hear her say "I love you" one more time //
"It's good, how are the kids?" He asked leaning back against his headboard hearing background noise of the kids playing. Getting lost in the moment imagining them playing at his feet.
// But when he heard the sound Of the kids laughing in the background He had to wipe away the tear from his eye //
"They're fine. Missing their daddy." She answered.
"Hello, daddy." Trinity's small voice called into the phone.
"Hello sweetie. Are you being good for your mommy and brothers?" He asked thinking about his two sons that...who would have guessed...were twins that were younger than Trinity.
// A little voice came on the phone Said "Daddy, when are you coming home?" He said the first thing that came his mind //
"Yes daddy. When are you coming home?" She asked.
"Uncle George and I will be back later this month, honey." He replied, having been gone for the last two weeks.
"But I miss you daddy."
// I'm already there Take a look around I'm the sunshine in your hair, I'm the shadow on the ground I'm the whisper in the wind I'm your imaginary friend And I know I'm in your prayers Oh I'm already there //
"I miss you too, but you've got your mommy, and brothers to take care of." He started but continued, "I'll always be there for you. When you miss me just look in the mirror and I'll be there looking back out at you." Out of the three children Trinity looked like him the most, with the red hair and blue eyes. Alexander had strawberry blond hair and blue eyes, and Tomas had red hair and hazel eyes.
"I love you daddy."
"Love you too baby." He echoed hearing the phone switching hands.
// She got back on the phone Said "I really miss you darlin' Don't worry about the kids, they'll be alright //
"I miss you too, you know." Alyssa replied.
"I know I'm trying to settle this deal." Fred said with a sigh. "They keep changing the terms."
"Well, keep trying. I know you'll do just fine. The kids will be fine. In fact they've got a play date with Angela and Rupert tomorrow."
"That's wonderful." He grinned thinking about George's kids, who were coincidently twins too. He'd gone off and married Angelina about a year before he'd met Alyssa and at least two years after they started 3W's.
~ It was raining, as it usually did in Tacoma, Washington, but today was far different for Fred and his twin. They'd been walking around looking for the cafe they were supposed to meet their clients about merging their two shops.
"We should have taken better directions Forge." Fred replied walking behind a short woman who seemed to be lost in her own world.
Before George could reply the said woman slipped and would have hurt herself if Fred hadn't caught her. "Thank you." She replied looking into the bluest eyes she'd ever seen.
"Your welcome."
"Out of towners, huh?" She grinned at his accent. "I'm Alyssa by the way."
"Fred and this is my twin George."
"I could see that." She replied grinning. "So how could I possibly thank you for saving my dignity?"
"We're looking for a place called 'Starbucks'." George replied almost laughing at his brother's reaction to the woman before them.
"You need to be a bit more specific than that. There are about a half dozen in Downtown Tacoma alone." She replied frowning slightly at this.
"Well the people we were meeting said Pacific Ave and 11th St." George replied.
"C'mon, I'm heading that way." She replied smiling again. "I'm glad that I could actually help you two." She replied turning around a corner and beginning to walk down two flights of stairs. Her hair was the most interesting color or red, black, brown and blonde (I know it sounds weird but it doesn't look as bad as it sounds) and her eyes were hazel green today.
"Why's that?" Fred asked.
"Because I too, am sort of an out of towner." She laughed. "I come from the southern states, and I'm guessing you two are from England. I've always wanted to go to Ireland."
"It's very beautiful." George replied. "That's where my wife and I had part of our honeymoon."
"Congratulations. How long have you been married?"
"A year."
"Ah newly weds." Alyssa grinned. "I'm sorry if I seem overly chatty. I haven't had a decent conversation in a while."
"Why's that?"
"Because I...I don't really have friends here. Sure I know some people but no one that I can talk to." She told them waiting for the light to change. Not realizing that things were about to change. ~
"I would love to be there for you right now." Alyssa replied softly wanting nothing more than to throw her arms around him. After their first meeting they became somewhat inseparable.
Six months after they met Fred had told her about the wizarding world. She could tell he'd been scared to tell her, but she surprised him by moving to London with him and telling him that she loved him always. Once there she practically begged for him to charm the phone so that she could keep in touch with her family on the condition she'd teach him to use it.
"I know, love. But I'd really like to be there with you and the kids." Fred replied laying on the pillows.
// Wish I was in your arms lyin' right there beside you But I know I'll be in your dreams tonight //
"The twins want to say goodnight."
"Okay."
"Night daddy."
"Night, Alex." Fred replied knowing their voice difference not to mention they weren't identical twins like George and himself.
"Night da."
"Night, Tom." He replied grinning as he remembered the day the twins were born.
~ "What are they're names?" Molly asked watching the two proud parents holding the twin boys.
"Alexander Lee and Tomas Andrew." Alyssa smiled at her husband chock back his laughter.
"Why Tomas?" Arthur asked.
"Well after I found out about Fred being a wizard, I decided that if we were to have a boy, I wanted to name him after the actor Tom Felton who played Draco in the Harry Potter series." Alyssa laughed.
"Well at least it's better than Dodge." Dolly, Alyssa's best friend and wife to Oliver Wood (story coming soon), laughed remembering the torment she'd endured for thinking about naming her boy Dodge.
"Besides Fred didn't like the names Christofer Jonathon Garrett or –" She broke off and asked, "What?"
"Why would you give a child two middle names?"
"Because it's different." Dolly answered. "What? We named our first girl Willow Amada Dorothy."
"Did anyone ever tell you two that you were strange?" Harry laughed standing next to his wife Hermione.
"Everyday." Alyssa and Dolly replied together. ~
// And I'll gently kiss you lips And touch with my fingertips So turn out the light and close your eyes //
"Have I told you lately how much I love you?" Fred asked.
"Umm, not today you haven't." Alyssa replied and Fred could see her grinning. He'd noticed that she did that often around him and it warmed his heart to see her smile.
"Well I do."
"I love you too, sweetie."
// I'm already there Take a look around //
"I wish I were there with you." Fred repeated.
"You are, sweetie. You're in our kids and every time I look at them I see you."
// I'm the sunshine in your hair, I'm the shadow on the ground I'm the whisper in the wind I'm your imaginary friend And I know I'm in your prayers Oh I'm already there //
Fred smiled at his wife's words. "I love you so much, Alyssa."
// We may be a thousand miles apart But I'll be with you wherever you are //
"I love you too, Fred. You should probably get some sleep, you sound as if you're falling asleep already."
"But..."
"No buts, I want you home in one peace when you seal the deal."
He chuckled at her mock aggravation knowing that she was only doing this for him and that she would love nothing more than to talk to him all night.
// I'm already there Take a look around I'm the sunshine in hair I'm the shadow on the ground I'm the whisper in the wind //
"Goodnight love." Fred whispered.
"Goodnight. Sweet dreams."
"I'll see you soon."
"I can hardly wait."
"Bye."
"Bye." She said and listened for him to hang up the phone before whispering, "You're already here."
The End of I'm Already There.
