'Fred, I'm coming.' as Hermione rounded the corner to find Fred collapsing into the wall. 'George, help! You bastard!' as she turned to see Rockwood laughing. 'Avada Kadavra!' she yelled as the green flashed the room and Rockwood fell.

'Hermione are you ok?' getting a nod from her. 'Wow so you do need to mean it.'

'How is he?' as she turned to look over to Fred.

'Hermione, he didn't..'

'Oh, Fred.' as she ran to his body.

~o~

Funerals, clean-up, award ceremonies, newspaper articles and all of the crowds and finally gotten to Hermione she just wanted to have a quite life.

~o~

'Oh there you are. I'll let you be you look like you need some alone time.' George spoke.

'Oh no please join me you might be able to help me out.' Hermione said as she wiped a tear from her cheek.

'If you're sure, because I can go find one of my other secret spots.'

'No, I need to talk to someone.'

'Hey how did you find this spot anyways? This is mine and …'

'Yea he told me about it and how that you two would come out here to think. I hope you don't mind?'

'Nope, if he told you then it's good with me. So what's your problem.' as George plopped down beside Hermione.

'Well I have a problem…'

'Aw come on you can tell me.'

'Well you might have noticed I have been gaining weight here lately?'

'Yea but you just spent how many months on the run. Now you have to get back all of your weight'

'But George mine has been going to my.' as she pulled her shirt up to show a small bump in the belly area. 'Belly.'

'Yea?' looking confused.

'George… I'm pregnant.'

'What? Who did this to you!'

'Fred…'

'He what? When? How?' George sputtered.

'Well George, you know how. But the when was when we showed up at shell cottage.'

'What… the week you three came back?' getting a nod from Hermione.

'Fred and I had been talking for a while before we left on the hunt. We didn't want to hurt Ron even though he kept hurting me. We were going to wait until the war was over to sit him down and talk. But then the wall collapsed and…'

'That is what he meant by take care of them.' as George looked up to Hermione. 'He was proud of that curse you threw at Rockwood. His last words were 'That's my girl. Love you Georgie.' as George started to cry. What do you need from me.' as he dried his eyes and puffed his chest. 'I will do his last request with pride.'

'Well I have a healer's appointment tomorrow will you go with me?'

'Yes I can go with you, when do you plan on telling the rest?'

'Well, the healers told me because I was on the run and didn't eat well my health is… and I'm at risk of losing this baby until I gain more healthy weight.' as she wiped a tear away. 'I didn't want to get their hopes up just in case I lost Fred's ba …' she couldn't finish.

'Oh, Mione, but if mum knows then she can start feeding you up right. All of that healthy stuff and she will have a table full of potions.'

~o~

'Ok Ms. Granger can you please sit here and we will do a scan.' the healer asked as she mumbled the spell and two little balls glowed above Hermione's belly. 'Well here are the babies, they look healthy.'

'Did you just say babies? As in two?' Hermione ask as the healer nodded.

'What two babies.' George exclaimed.

'Do you want to know the sex?'

'Yes please.' they said in unison.

'Well, one girl and one boy. And you do want pictures right!' the healer smiled.

'Of course, you know mum will love this? What potions does she need? Any special foods? Does she need to be put on bed rest?' George went all fatherly getting everything he needed to get these babies in to this world.

'She will be leaving with a list of potions and foods and no bed rest yet, but it might be necessary at a later date if she doesn't gain more weight.' the healer said with concern.

'Well she will be well taken care of from this point on.' George said with pride.

~o~

'Well let's get this over with.' Hermione said as they entered the burrow.

'Oh, don't worry mum will be over the moon.' George said as he opened the back door.

'Oh, they're here, so what's the news?' Molly said as she placed cups of tea on the table.

'Well this might be easier…' as Hermione handed Molly a picture.

'Oh. how nice… who's are they?' as Molly looked up.

'Fred's mum.' George whispered.

'What? Fred's? How? When? Who?'

'Well… I think you know how, you do have kids. Well you remember when we were summonsed to shell cottage. And the who is our very own Hermione.'

'What you're pregnant? Oh Hermione.' as she pulled her into a hug. 'But? You and Fred?'

'Yea we had been talking and...' telling Molly the whole story.

'Oh dear I'm so happy for you. We will be here for you and the babies. I need …' as George handed his mum the list the healer had given them. 'Oh thank you Georgie. I have half of these but will need…'

'Just give me a list and I will go get them mum.' George giggled at the look of surprise on Hermione's face.

'Oi, you lot sit down I have news.' as Molly passed the picture to Arthur.

'Am I granddad?' Arthur asked as Molly nodded and pointed to the two spots. 'Twins?' as Molly passed the picture to the next person.

'Oi who's having twins?' Ron asked. 'Better not be you.' scowling at Ginny and Harry.

'Not us, mate.' Harry smiled.

'At least not yet." Ginny grinned getting a frown from Ron.

'Ok. It's not our Hermione, George broke up with Angelina ages ago.' Ron was listing off all of the girlfriends.

'It's not your Lavender, as she would have been screaming it from the roof tops.' Ginny grinned.

'Oi, I'm still with Hermione.' Ron grinned.

'What? Ron you haven't spoken to Hermione since before the war so how are you still seeing her?' Ginny growled.

'I have been grieving for Fred and have just needed time to….' Ron said to the room.

'You have been grieving? I lost the love of my life, your brother who lost his other half has been there for me this whole time. He came to me and checked up on me. Where were you? Visiting Lavender, yea don't look so surprised I've seen you sneaking out.' Hermione spun around to leave.

'Ronald Weasley. It is Hermione that is pregnant with our Fred's baby. You prat.' as George ran out to find Hermione.

'What? She? Fred?' Ron sputtered. 'But she is my…'

'No Ron that was over years ago. She has been trying to tell you but you won't listen.' Harry spoke.

'Yes, Ronald, Hermione is carrying Fred's baby.' Molly told the story that had been told to her.

~o~

'Mione, where are you?' as George rounded the pond. 'Ah there you are.' he found her curled up in a ball crying. 'Oh sweetheart you're cold as he placed a warming charm on her and pulled her onto his lap.

'Oh, George, he hates me.'

'And you really care? He's a git and always will be. He doesn't deserve you.' George grinned. 'He's more a Lav-Lav kind of guy so don't you worry about him now it's all about you and these babies now.'

'I'm scared George. I'm going to be raising these two by myself.'

'What are you talking about you have all of us to help out.'

'Yea but who is going to help me at one in the morning when they wake up?'

'Well us of course. We will help you all the way.'

'George, I can't just move in and bring two screaming babies with me.'

'Well you have been staying with us for how long now?'

'I know but I need to be in my own apartment not shacking up with my dead babies dad's mum's house.'

'What where?' giggling. 'How about I move in with you and we raise our children?'

'You move in? Our children?'

'Well you said you need help, I can do that. And they are as good as mine.' George said with pride.

'George do you know what you are talking about? Two screaming babies. You didn't sign up for that and I won't let you.'

'You didn't either, it just happened. And I think Fred knew because he made me promise to take care of you and them.' pointing to her belly. 'And to be truthful I'm jealous of Fred.'

'What why are you jealous of him.'

'Well I too had a crush on you, he just beat me to the prize.'

'Prize uh? Prize with two babies on the way. Where is the prize in that? No just us dating, getting to know each other just hi, here change a nappy.' Hermione cried. 'I'm never going to…'

'Yes you will find a man to love you and those babies and it will be me if you let me.'

'But George?'

'Yes I know what I'm getting myself into, I want babies, my twin's babies. I really do Hermione and the beautiful mum that comes with them.' as he leaned in for a kiss.

'But.'

'But what? I have liked you for years and I know I will love you in no time, kind of love you now but I don't want to scare you away. So please give us a chance.'

'Fine, you get the crappy nappies.' she smirked.

'I still have what 6 months? I can invent a self-cleaning nappy in no time.' George said with a big grin.

'Really you think you can?'

'Yup, I will do this one for Fred.' as he pulled her back up for another kiss. 'Thank you.'

'For what?'

'Giving me a chance to love you and our babies.'

'Let's go up and tell the good news.' George said with a smile on his face.

'Oh look the cheating whore is back.' Ron snarled. 'So you fucked my brother.'

~o~

'Ronald Bilus Weasley!' Molly screeched.

'Oh let me handle this.' as Hermione crossed the room and punched Ron right on the nose. 'As to the cheating, was it not you that went running to Lavender when I wouldn't put out? And the whore part, considering that was the first and only time we made love, Ron.' Ron huffed as he held his now bloody nose. 'Too bad he's not here to give you lessons, rumor is that you need help.' Hermione said with a grin.

'I don't need lessons, I do just fine by myself.' as Ron puffed up his chest.

'Um, Lavender told us you are a one and done and Millicent said she didn't get off…' Ginny added.

'You've been with Millie?' Lavender screeched as she came around the corner. 'You cheating bastard and I have never had an orgasm, so yes you do need lessons.' as she turned back around and left.

'Well Ronnikins I will get you a book.' George added with a grin.

'I don't need no damn book.' as he pushed his way out of the room.

'Well now that is out of the way. We have decided to raise the twins together.' George spoke to the room.

'What?' Ginny asked.

'Well, I am going to raise my twin's, twins as my own. I have always fancied our Hermione. I was jealous of Fred for what he had with her.'

'Oh George, Fred would be so proud of you.' Molly said as she teared up.

~o~

'Hey George what do you think about… Winifred Georgianna and Fredrick Gideon?' Hermione asked one afternoon.

'Oh Maya I love them. Mum will cry you know?'
