A/N: I have absolutely no reason why I waited so long to post this. I will try really hard not to update like that again. I always feel like I have to explain this when I write a story. I like angst, I like drama. I LOVEEEEEEE couples fighting and making up. I don't believe every relationship is sunshine and rainbows. So please I write this because I enjoy it, I like it and if you don't that's okay. (P.S. I bet if you ask my husband he would kill for me to like less drama haha)
Happy Belated New Year!
CHAPTER 3:
When Hermione got to the Burrow the first thing she saw was her daughter standing next to George and Angelina's caramel skinned daughter Roxanne helping grandmum make the pie crust for the Steak and Kidney Pie that would be for lunch.
When Junie heard the Floo go off and saw her mother step out she ran up to her.
"Mommy! You're finally here!"
"I know honey. Sorry I didn't tuck you in or wake you up this morning. Mommy stayed with Uncle Ron and Aunt Lav last night."
"It's okay mum. Daddy woke me and we cooked pancakes! They were AMAZINGGGGG!" Junie said finally letting her mom stand up.
"Speaking of Daddy where is he honey?"
"He's in the other room with Grandpop, Uncle George and Auntie Ang." Hermione walked Junie back to where Roxanne and Mrs. Weasley were at. She kissed Roxanne on the top of the head, received a hug and small smile from Mrs. Weasley.
Hermione took a deep breath and walked into the living room where she saw George and Angelina on 1 couch and Fred with his dad on the other couch. As soon as she walked in they were quiet and she knew they were talking about her.
"Good Morning everyone. Fred may I speak with you please?" She looked at Fred who looked up to George and nodded his head to the door.
"That's fine but George is joining us and we are going out into the garden to talk." Fred said standing up walking out the door with George right on his heels.
Hermione followed them out there and they stood there for 2 minutes without talking.
"Can you at least look at me?" Hermione said trying not to cry again. Fred looked up and it looked like he had a rough night as well.
"I just can't believe you would do something like this to us." Hermione opened her mouth to say something but Fred threw his hand up. "No you listen. You don't get to talk yet. You say that all you can tell me is that you didn't file the complaint but from what I do know with your work, that this did come from your department so you must have seen it and not have said something to either your work or George and I."
Fred put his hand through his hair trying to calm himself down.
"Listen Hermione. You have put us in a horrible position. Its August, the kids will be going into Diagon Alley to buy their things and we aren't able to sell to them!" George said almost yelling at her. "We are losing so much money and sales we might lose our shop! Something we worked so hard on and the wife of one the owners who has never liked the place is now trying to shut it down."
Both twins just stood there trying to slow down their breathing. Hermione was now letting the tears flow.
"After all that. You say that I am choosing my career over my family but you both won't even believe me when I tell you that I can't talk about it. You have a court date in 4 months from the looks of the paper so it will all come out then." Hermione vented.
"You have been on my back about the Pygmy Puffs for years now, and now there is a complaint about the same thing, I am sorry if I don't believe that you have nothing to do about this." Fred took a deep breath. "I have already talked to George and Angelina, I will be staying with them for the time being in the guest bedroom. They are even going to set up a small section for Junie to have in Roxanne's room. You can go back to the house."
Hermione was shocked. He didn't want to be with her.
"You are going to throw away 7 years because you don't want to take 4 months to hear the entire truth?!" Hermione was yelling and crying at the same time.
"No I want to move away from the 7 years from a woman who has tried to take away 1 of the most important things in my life." Fred yelled back. George there to keep him calm.
"We are married, in case you forgot there is no getting away with me in the Wizard world." Hermione said.
"That is true but just being married doesn't mean I have to actually be with you. I will take Junie during the week since I will be living over the shop now. I can drop her off at the house when you get home Friday night but then you can bring her back here Sunday afternoon in time for lunch but other than dropping her off you are no longer welcome in my family's home. And don't try to argue about Junie. You know you working from 7am to 7pm at night every night you won't be able to take of her by yourself, this is what the best situation since Angelina, George and myself will be with her all day." Fred went to turn around with George right behind him, when Hermione ran forward and stopped in front of them with her hands on his chest.
"You can't take my daughter away from me Fred and I won't let you!" Hermione yelled. "Just because you cannot get it out of your thick skull to believe me does not mean you have to punish our daughter along with her mother!"
Hermione placed her hands at her side, Fred was looking down at the ground and George was standing near the door to give them some privacy when talking about their daughter.
"We are both going to be staying at OUR home Fred. Even though you did buy it with your money like you reminded me last night but we are married whether you want to be or not and that entitles me to the house with OUR daughter. I will stay in the guest bedroom and I will spend every single day with my daughter. You can ignore me all you want but we are going to give that little girl in there a normal day every day because that's what she deserves!"
Hermione ran her hands threw her hair and let out a big sigh, Fred finally looked at her and he had tears running down his face.
"You can bring Junie here every Sunday that's perfectly fine, but I will be taking her all day on Saturdays." Hermione spun and walked passed George bumping her shoulder into him as she walked into the house.
She looked at everyone in the house who was clearly trying to look like they haven't been looking outside the whole time first she walked over to Ron and Lavender and explained that she was going to grab her things from their house and go back to her home. They both hugged her and as did Ginny and Harry who just walked over.
Hermione walked over to her daughter who was now sitting on the floor with Roxanne playing with the pieces of Ron's chess board and rubbed her back.
"Hey sweetie, mommy is going to head home for the day, stand up and give me a hug please."
Junie looked up, "No mommy you stay. You didn't have pie yet."
"Sorry baby girl, you are going to have fun here with everyone, I will see you in a couple of hours, mommy isn't feeling too good."
"Well just stay here with me and daddy please! I didn't see you all night and morning!" Junie starting whining and crossed her arms over her chest.
"No sweetie, I can't." The tears were falling now so all Hermione did was lean down to pick up her daughter to give a big hug. Her daughter started crying asking her not to leave yet, and that was when Hermione couldn't stand it anymore. She walked over to Fred who had just walked into the burrow and handed Junie over to him.
Junie cuddled in her dad's neck crying as Hermione kissed her little hand.
"You're making a mistake you know." Hermione said to Fred. Fred looked down playing with his daughter's shoes. "I just hope you realize that 1 day."
Hermione turned around and gave a small nod to her friends and her in laws before she stepped into the fireplace and floo-ed to her home alone.
