Arthur and Molly Weasley had been empty nesters for a while now.
Arthur had adjusted to the quieter life quite easily, but Molly really struggled after Ginny moved out and felt lonely and empty.
She did look forward to any occasional visits her children might make and was pleased when Percy made a surprise visit one night, especially since it came on a night when Arthur was away visiting Charlie in Romania.
"Perce!" said Molly, running up to hug her third son as he flooed in.
"It's great to see you again mom, " said Percy sincerely.
"It's great to see you too!" smiled Molly, "But what brings you here tonight."
"News, " said Percy, "Now, I know I was the bad apple in the family for a while."
"That's okay, " said Molly reassuringly, "You came around in the end."
"But I really hurt you with my actions, " admitted Percy, "I was selfish, I did what I thought was best for myself with no regard to what was right. I valued my own ambition over the family. I've come to realize more with the passage of time how much my abandonment of the family stung you to the core."
"I'm proud of what you have become, "said Molly sincerely, "You got off to a rough start, but you've made something of your life. You're even going to have a daughter in a few weeks."
"That's why I'm here, mom, " smiled Percy, "Out of respect and appreciation for everything you've done for the family over the years, I am going to name daughter Molly."
Molly burst into tears.
"Oh, Perce, " said Molly weakly before dissolving into more tears.
"Mom. you deserve the honor of having your granddaughter named after you. You were always there for the family. Whether it be cooking, shopping, or emotional support, you were always there doing all the necessary work of making sure the family had what we needed, " said Percy fiercely.
"Have you told anyone else about this decision?" Molly asked Percy.
"No, you deserved to be the first to know. Given my choice of name, my daughter's name would be of more interest to you than anyone other than myself, " replied Percy.
Molly looked Percy eye to eye, tears still flowing and unable to say anything.
Molly just finally said "Thank you, Percy." simply.
