Inspiration Quote: Xxx…(kisses)
Molly Weasley sighed as her husband's tongue slid between her parted lips and eagerly began probing hers. Her arms slid around his neck, and his right hand began gently combing through her hair. He had returned from work not more than five minutes earlier, and he had immediately enveloped her in his arms, greeting her with a passionate kiss. He had taken her completely by surprise, as usually when he arrived home it was a quick peck on the cheek to prevent their children, especially Ron, from retching in the corner at a simple display of affection and love between the two of them.
"Miss me?" She asked, when he had pulled away and allowed her to drop her head against his chest.
"You could say that, My Molly." He answered, holding her tight as she returned the hug.
Molly sighed in contentment, resting against him, closing her eyes and enjoying the rare moment of peace between them. With the second war with You-Know-Who entering its sixth year, with them in the heart of it as members of the Order, they also had a set of fraternal twins they had brought into the world less than six months ago under their feet, keeping them busy the way children do.
"Where are our little bundles of joy, Molly-girl?"
Molly jumped as she snapped out of her thoughts to look up at Arthur. "Sleeping, they went down less than five minutes before you got home. I'm sorry, I know you look forward to seeing them when you get home."
At three months, their twins, Andrew and Allison slept more often than they were awake. Molly smiled, as she thought about her babies, thankful that she and Arthur had decided to bring one more little Weasley into their lives, and the rewards of being a parent again to two little ones were a thousand fold. The babies always seemed to bring joy into the Burrow, no matter how many deaths were reported on a given day. In short, their babies helped Molly and Arthur see the light at the end of the tunnel, like their first seven had shown them during You-Know-Who's first reign of terror. They had been shocked and happy when Healer Sedgewick had told them that not only were they pregnant, but they were going to be adding two new little ones to their clan instead of one.
"I was hoping to catch them awake."
"I know you were, hon." Molly commented, breaking out of his arms to serve dinner. "You're enjoying being 'Daddy' again aren't you?"
"I am, I'm glad you got it through to my thick skull to allow another little one in our lives, seeing as we're not being granted the luxuries of being grandparents yet."
Molly smiled at her husband as she handed him his plate and settled in the seat across from him. "Do you have to go back in tonight?" She asked, beginning to cut her meat.
"I do and I don't think I'll be home until early morning. Are you going to be all right here by yourself taking care of the little ones?"
"Yes. Don't worry, Andy, Ally and I will be just fine, but we'll miss you."
"Of course. I'll be home as soon as I can, and you make sure you get some rest."
"I will."
They ate the rest of their meal in companionable silence until it was time for Arthur to head back to the Ministry. "Wonderful meal, Molly, as always. Bill knows I have to work tonight and that you're going to be alone with Ally and Andy and he said he and Fleur will be around if you want help or company."
"Okay. I love you."
"And I love you." He replied, putting his dishes in the sink and kissing her again before he Disapparated. After doing the dishes, Molly heard one of the twins cry and made her way to the nursery. She brought them back downstairs and put Andy in the bassinet while she nursed Ally. As she nursed them, she thought back over her relationship with Arthur, and before long, she was reminiscing over the kisses they had shared over their forty-year relationship. When Arthur kissed her, it was if nothing was wrong in the world. His lips could always comfort her, no matter how much death and destruction there was in the world. As she stroked Allison's cheek with her forefinger whilst she suckled at her breast, she allowed herself to think back over her years with Arthur.
They had shared their first real kiss in front of the fireplace in the Gryffindor common room shortly after beginning their fifth year as Prefects. He had been the first friend she had made at Hogwarts, having shared a compartment with him on the Hogwarts Express the beginning of the first year. Their first kiss had been short and sweet, but Molly had known then that she would do anything in her power to make sure their relationship lasted. He had just revealed his feelings for her, which had made her happy, as she had begun fancying him as well. Their second kiss had been deeper, longer and more passionate, and it had led to their first date in Hogsmeade. Over the three years they had dated, they shared many kisses, some short and sweet, while others were long and soft. Every time he kissed her, her heart fluttered, and she knew that what they had was real, and she wanted it to last forever.
By far though, one of the most meaningful kisses Arthur had given her was the one she had received on Valentine's Day of their seventh year. Arthur had proposed, she had gladly given herself to him, throwing herself into his arms and kissing him repeatedly. However, when Arthur kissed her back, he took his time, and before long, they were making love for the first time in the Room of Requirement. She sighed happily as she remembered the feel of his lips against her skin as he slowly undressed her, backing her toward a feather bed in the corner of the room. Despite all of the kisses she had received from Arthur over the years though, her favorite one was the most special. The kiss they had shared on their wedding day, that sealed their promise to each other to love, honor, obey and protect each other until death do they part.
