Chapter 12: a family Christmas at #12 Grimland Place

HPOV: (December 24th)

Well today the Weasley's and Draco are coming here to spend Christmas with the kids,Sev and i.

"We should tell the Weasley's and Draco about the baby tonight." i said as i walked over to the couch and sat down next to Sev.

"Alright, also Albus and Minerva are going to stop by tonight as well."

"Alright." i then stood up and started to head to the kitchen to start cooking, when i felt Sev wrap his arms around me.

"And what do you think you're doing?" he asked me.

"Cooking dinner." i replied a little confused.

"No you're not. You're going to relax and Kreacher and Dobby will cook dinner." he said as i gave in.

"And what will you be doing?" he smiled and said,

"I'll be in our room helping you relax." i rolled my eyes but let him drag me into our room. Once we were in our room, he closed the door,led me over to our bed,laid me down and began to kiss me passionately. I knew exactly where this was headed so i decided to speed things up a little by taking his shirt off of him. He laughed and without breaking the kiss, he took my shirt off of me. Then his pants came off,followed by my own.

SPOV:

As soon as all our clothes were off, i broke our kiss and just took in the sight that was my love. I smiled as i looked at his stomach and saw that there was a baby bump. I placed my hand on his stomach and said,

"This right here is the best gift i could be given this year." my love smiled as he placed his hand on top of mine.

"I'm glad because i didn't get you anything else." i smiled and said,

"Good because this is all i want." i then kissed my love passionately.

HPOV: (3 hours later)

I heard a knock at our door and said,

"come in." then Sev came and sat down next to me, took my hand in his and the Weasley's came into our house.

"Merry Christmas!" Fred and George yelled and i couldn't help but give a small smile.

"Merry Christmas to you too." i said as they all sat down.

"So where are Mira and Teddy?" Hermione asked.

"They're with Draco right now, all three of them should be here any second now." as soon as i said that, the door opened and they stepped inside.

"Daddy! Papa!" Mira cried happily as she ran over to us.

"Hey princess." i said as i hugged her. Then i felt two more sets of arms wrap around us and i knew Teddy and Sev had joined the hug. I laughed and said,

"alright, its time to let go." they smiled and let go of me. Then Teddy and Mira went and sat down next to Draco.

"Are we still waiting for someone?" Draco asked.

SPOV:

"Yes, we're waiting for Albus and Minerva." i said and then the door opened and they both walked in.

"Albus, Minerva, we're so glad you could stop by." my love said.

"We're glad you invited us." Albus replied with a smile on his face.

"Please sit down, we're just about to open a few gifts." i said. They then sat down and Teddy said,

"i'll pass out the gifts." i smiled at my son and said,

"alright."

HPOV:

We had just finished opening gifts and just sat down to have dinner, when i decided that now would be a good time to tell them the news. I took Sev's hand and gave it a small squeeze to let him know what i was going to do, and then i turned my attention to our friends and said,

"Sev and i have two announcements we want to make and i think now would be the best time to make them." i smiled as Sev got up from his chair and came over to stand behind my chair.

"What is it?" Fred and George asked together. I took a deep breath, felt Sev place his hands on my shoulders, lifted my left hand so everyone could see my ring and said,

"well first is, Sev and i are getting married."

"well its about time." Draco said and i couldn't help but silently agree with him.

"Congratulations you two!" Molly exclaimed happily. I smiled at her and then stood up.

"Sev can i get your help with something in our room real quick before we tell them our other announcement?" i asked him.

"Of course." we then walked upstairs to our room. Once we were in our room, i closed the door and said.

"i need to change out of this sweater." Sev laughed lightly and said,

"yeah, you do, it's just not your style." i smiled as i began to pull off my sweater.

"Can you go get me my green button up dress shirt please?" "of course love." he then went to our closet and pulled out my shirt.

"Here you go love," he said handing me my shirt.

"Thanks." i said as i put my shirt on. Once it was on, i realized that it made the fact that i'm pregnant stand out.

"Well, i guess we won't really have to tell them this one." i said as i turned to look at Sev.

SPOV:

"I guess not, but you look amazing in green. Maybe you do belong in Slytherin." i teased and he laughed.

"Maybe. Now let's go back to the dining room before they come looking for us," he said as he laced our fingers together. We then walked out of our room and headed back down the stairs. Racing down the stairs, i grabbed onto Harry's waist as the Weasley's anxiously crowded at the edge of the steps. With expressions of shock on their faces, they noticed… the stomach. This is it. Harry smiled.

"well as you can tell i'm pregnant." i smiled as i hugged my love.

HPOV:

I looked around and i could tell everyone was shocked. Then Hermione and Molly both walked up and hugged me.

"I'm so happy for you Harry dear." Molly the endless stream of voices cascaded from the group, I couldn't help but smile bright as I knew that everyone would happily welcome our new addition. As I look back at Sev and see his smile, which was a little exhausted from everyone's upbeat energy in the room, I could tell that he was just as happy as I am even if he doesn't have the energy to show it. And so as the excitement was coming to an end after a couple more hours, everyone was happy both of the festivities, the food, the guests soon left wishing us all one last merry Christmas before departing until the next meeting, the merriment of the holidays still lingering even after the night is over.
