Chapter Three: Over The Moon.

----

Marie Moon sat on the warm spring grass, basking up the sunlight. The wind blew but it wasn't as cruel as it had been during the previous weeks so her 4 year old daughter Lara was able to run free in the small garden, chasing various birds and stopping occasionally to glance at the fish that swam peacefully in the small garden pond.

"Mummy!" Lara cried, a look of glee on the young child's face. She was pointing up towards the sun, where a larger bird flew. She stared at it until its flight took it further and further into the distance.

A small roaring sound called mother and daughter into the dining room, where a large fireplace stood. Seconds later, Mary, Jonathon and Kayla stood in the room with them, all smiling from ear to ear.

Marie stepped forward and embraced her sister, who was holding Kayla at the time. Jonathon stepped out of the fireplace last and headed straight for Lara, who squealed as she was turned upside down, her pigtails dangling.

"What are you all so happy about then?" Marie asked, nudging her younger sister in the side. Kayla squirmed in her mother's arms and held her hands out towards Marie, asking for a hug. Marie smiled and took Kayla in her own arms. The young toddler nestled into Marie's chest and fell immediately asleep. Mary smiled and beckoned everyone into the lounge.

"Will you please tell me what on earth is going on with you two? I haven't seen you smile so much since you found out you were expecting Kayla!" The smiles didn't falter but grew. Marie's jaw dropped.

"You don't mean?" She burbled. Two heads nodded. Marie lay Kayla on the sofa and squealed, hugging Mary and Jonathon repeatedly.

"Two months gone. Due on the 14th of November!" Mary cried with excitement. Marie hugged her sister again, her smile as big as theirs. She thought for a moment. "How did you find out you were pregnant?" She questioned.

"That spell mum taught us before we moved out." Mary answered. A key turned in the lock of the front door and Lara froze.

"I'm home!" Called out Robert Moon from the hallway. Lara ran out of the lounge and straight into her father's arms. The pair appeared a moment later but Robert looked curious.

"What's everyone smiling about?" He asked warily, not sure if he wanted to know the answer. Lara was the first to answer him.

"Auntie Mary has a baby in her tummy!" she said, smiling. Robert placed his daughter on the floor and chuckled.

"Congratulations!" He cried, hugging Mary and mock-punching Jonathon on the arm. After the men were deep in conversation (something about Quidditch), the women left and hurried up the stairs into the small bathroom.

"What's the matter?" Mary asked, wondering why her sister dragged her to the bathroom. Seeing the worried look on her face, Marie laughed.

"Nothing, don't worry! I just need you to show me that pregnancy spell." She said calmly. Mary smiled.

"Thinking you might be pregnant as well?" Mary questioned her, a cheeky grin on her face.

"Well, Robert and I have discussed having another baby but nothing yet. I know I'm not pregnant now so now would be a good time to learn the spell, for when I think I am." Marie explained. Mary raised one eyebrow and instructed her sister to get her wand.

"Right, the spell is Infantium Revealo." Mary said, flicking her wand. A large amount of mist billowed from the end of her wand. Mary blew on it and it steadily turned blue. "The blue shows that I'm pregnant." Mary explained patiently. Try that first.

"Infantium Revealo." Marie copied and, indeed, thick white mist filtered through her own wand tip. She blew on it and it went through many different colours, as if it was trying to make up its mind. It finally settled.

Two screams were heard in the lounge downstairs.

----

"I don't believe it. Marie! You're pregnant!" Mary exclaimed, hugging her sister for about the 6th time that day. Marie started shaking and then exploded into floods of happy tears. Mary managed to get her under control in order to conduct the next spell.

----

Three minutes later, Marie discovered that she was 2 months pregnant and her baby was due on 20th November.

----

2 men and 2 young children were crowded on the tiny landing trying desperately hard to get in and find the source of the screaming.

Before long, the door opened, revealing Mary and Marie, smiling like Cheshire cats. The two men looked sideways at each other and then back at the women. This caused more laughter.

----

After Kayla awoke, the group went to sit in the garden, the two youngsters on the swings, the parents on a tartan rug nearby. The pet rabbits; Ebony and Blaize were in their run, happily munching on grass and the odd beetle.

----

By 8:30 that evening, the Moon family was alone in their small house once more. Lara was in bed and Marie had escaped somewhere for a few minutes so Robert decided to be of help and do the washing up.

----

Hearing a call from upstairs after he placed the last fork in the drawer, he followed and found himself in the bedroom. Marie was snuggled up in the duvet, ready for bed. He began to feel nervous but seeing her heart-warming smile, calmed down and hugged her.

"What's up Marie? You've been different ever since Mary left." Robert whispered. She said nothing but nuzzled his neck and resting her head on his shoulder. He stroked her hair and went to hold her hand but found something already there.

A dummy. A brand new dummy.

"Found another one of Lara's old dummies?" Robert asked his wife, who had now progressed to shutting her eyes and was happy to lay amongst the duvet with her husband. Ever since weaning Lara off dummies 2 years pervious, the parents were always coming across more.

Marie opened her eyes and looked deep into her husband's deep blue ones. She lifted the dummy up near their eyes and he studied it.

"Why do you have a dummy? It's not Kayla's is it? It's too new to be Lara's." Marie shook her head, desperate for her husband to get the hint. He didn't.

"I'm going to get changed now." Robert said abruptly. He swung his legs around and padded into the bathroom.

----

When he wandered in about 10 minutes later he had a small piece of cloth in his hand.

"Am I meant to be getting at something here?" Robert asked, holding up the cloth, which turned out to be a very small babygrow. Marie nodded, her eyes glinting. Robert thought for a moment and a twinkle joined a large smile.

"Don't tell me?" Said Robert, working out the answer. Marie laughed and nodded, climbing out of bed to join her husband. He laughed and held his wife for what could only be described as an age.

When they eventually pulled apart, Robert kissed Marie on the tip of her nose and then they went to bed.

Everyone slept peacefully.
