Monday came and went, and Molly found out that she was due on November 27th. Arthur arranged to go on paternity leave at the beginning of December, taking three months off to help Molly with the baby. It was now July; Molly was beginning to show, and her and Arthur's second anniversary was coming up.
"Molly, darling, what do you want to do for our anniversary?"
"Arthur, can we just stay home? Being pregnant isn't as easy as it looks."
"Sure. Would you like your back rubbed?"
"Arthur, would you? And my feet too?"
"Yes. Come on, its late, we should already be in bed." He got up from where he was sitting on the sofa, and helped Molly out of her rocking chair, as she was finding it harder to move around, due to her swollen belly. She changed into her nightgown quickly and sat down on the edge of the bed. Arthur moved to sit behind her, and began rubbing her back, making small circles with his hands.
"Molly, Adrian's birthday party is coming up. Brian told me that he and Catherine are planning it for the sixteenth."
"Arthur, what are we going to get him?"
"I think he would like one of your Molly Weasley creations."
"What, a jumper? It's the middle of summer, and you want to give your nephew a jumper?"
"Not necessarily. You could make him a blanket."
"Arthur, when am I going to find the time to make a blanket? I have to start getting the nursery ready for the baby. Not to mention go shopping for all of the things that we need."
"Molly, you still have four months left. Besides, you have self-knitting knitting needles, can't you just make the blanket using them?"
"I could. But-"
"Molly, no buts. Lay down so I can rub your feet dear."
Molly got up and walked around to her side of the bed and Arthur helped her get comfortable. He then sat in the middle of the bed, facing her, and she rested her feet in his lap.
