- I have revised this chapter entirely and fixed all the mistakes now.-
Aaaaaaaaaand here's the next chapter! Telling the kids must have been a big part for every baby, and nerve-wracking! So here it is!
Disclaimers: You know this isn't mine right?
Month Two
"Mum why do you have so much food?" Bill asked, staring at her huge portion.
"Well," Molly turned faintly red "I have to eat more now..."
She exchanged looks with Arthur, who nodded. Molly pushed aside her plate.
"Mum, what's wrong?" Bill asked, looking worried.
Molly grabbed Arthur's hand as he came to stand beside her. They exchanged another tense look before turning to their kids. They'd spent a lot of time discussing how they'd take it.
"Mum," Charlie's eyes were wide and watchful. "You're scaring me!"
"It's okay kids." She assured them.
They had all abandoned their meals now, staring at their parents, even Fred and George were silent, staring. It was a remarkable feat for the little one year olds.
"We have some big news- good news!" she added when Bill and Charlie exchanged another worried look.
"I'm going to have another baby!" she told them.
There was a moments pause, and then-
"Dat's Gweat!" Breathed little Percy. He was three, and had always felt a little left out by his brothers. Bill and Charlie were always together, and the twins were always together. He'd be happy for another little companion.
Charlie nodded his agreement and approached Molly's tummy, touching it gingerly, as if he expected Molly to breathe fire like one of his beloved dragons.
Percy quickly joined him.
"I'll hewp you wots and wots!" He said cheerfully.
Bill joined his brother's, smiling broadly. He loved being a big brother, and Arthur could see that another baby intrigued him.
Fred and George were looking at each other, and then at Molly, and then eachother again.
"A baby?" Fred asked.
"Yes, a little brother or sister for you." Arthur told them, walking over and bending in front of them. His chest felt as if it would burst with pride at his sons' eagerness to have a little baby in the house. And he could see that behind Fred and George's puzzled faces they were starting to grin.
"Baby! Baby! Baby!" Fred wriggled frantically, wanting to go see his mother. Arthur carried the twins over and soon they were also patting her tummy with their chubby little hands, completely overexcited.
Bill scooped up a twin under each arm, laughing as well. They squealed madly and wriggled, making him drop George.
He held tightly to Fred and blew a raspberry on his tummy, making him laugh louder.
"No more of you two getting away with everything, you aren't the babies anymore!"
George was yelling and squealing, holding out his arms for his own raspberry. Charlie leapt on him from behind, tickling him. Then the two older brothers carried them out of the room by their ankles.
Percy stood at a loss in between the door and the seat where Molly sat.
"Looks like they've forgotten dinner. That has to be a first!" Molly laughed, she was smiling fondly.
Percy puffed out his chest. "I didn't forget, Mum!"
"No you didn't." She smiled at him. But Percy shot a wistful glance to the door.
"I gots ter stay an' eat?" he said softly.
Arthur planted a kiss on the top of his head.
"You go out and play." He said firmly, and Percy beamed at him.
"Ta Daddy!" Arthur nodded and watched Percy scamper off after his brothers.
Arthur straightened up and looked round at Molly, who had a hand resting on her tummy and was smiling after them.
"They'll get a bit of a shock if it's a girl." She said. Arthur pulled up a seat beside her and hugged her.
"It'd be good for them though."
"Of course! I can't wait Arthur! I can't wait to expand our family again!"
"You'll have to try." Arthur grinned "You've got more then a few months yet!"
Molly laughed.
