Arthur, Molly, Bill, Charlie, Percy, George, Ron, and Ginny were all sitting together at the Three Broomsticks, a meeting held at Ron's request.
"Well, " said Ron happily, "I'm about to become a father. I have a daughter due in two weeks!"
"That's wonderful, " said Molly fondly, "I'm sure you're going to be a great dad."
"Let me guess, " smiled Arthur, "You are here to tell us the name you have chosen for your daughter."
"Right in one, " said Ron brightly, "I don't want to name my daughter after someone though. I want to give her a name that has no family or personal history behind it. I want to give her her own identity."
"That's what I did when I named my kids Dominque, Victoire, and Louis, " said Bill matter of factly.
"I cut it both ways by naming one daughter Molly and the other Lucy, " said Percy, "There's no right or wrong answer. It's up to you individually."
"I have decided to name my daughter Rose, " said Ron happily, "I called this meeting because my own parents and siblings deserved to be the first to know."
"You haven't told Harry and Hermione yet?" asked Ginny.
"They're next, " explained Ron, "But I wanted my parents and siblings to know first, even before my BFFs."
"Rose is a beautiful name, " said Molly contently.
"There could be no more beautiful name for a girl than Rose, " said Ginny warmly, "Ron, I think you just drew a king while holding an eleven."
"Where did you get the idea to name your daughter Rose?" asked George curiously.
"When I learned that my baby was going to be a girl, I happened to be standing next to a vase of Roses, " said Ron matter of factly, "So I was struck by the idea to name my daughter Rose. It's a sweet simple name that's easy to spell and remember."
"That's a cool story, " beamed Charlie.
"It could be a really cool story for Rose to hear as she grows up, " said Ginny cheerfully.
"Absolutely, " agreed Ron with a twinkle in his eyes, :"I'm hoping it'll become a story she can identify with as she will a unique story behind how the choice of her name was inspired."
"It's the best of both worlds, " said Arthur glowingly, "A beautiful name with a delightful story behind it."
"I'm sure Rose will turn out to be a sweet baby girl, " said Molly joyously, "Ron, you becoming a father for the first time is a great moment for the Weasley family."
"And for myself, " said Ron eagerly, "I expect the moment I hold baby Rose for the first time will be a moment I can use to produce a Patronus."
"Absolutely, " chorused everyone except Charlie, the only non parent present.
Arthur, Molly, Bill, Charlie, Percy, George, Ron, and Ginny all smiled at Ron.
They were so happy for Ron that he was going to be a father and thought he'd chosen a wonderful name for his daughter.
Ron was as content as ever.
Soon enough, he'd be holding Rose.
