Challenge: The Ultimate Pairing Drabble Competition
Pairing: Bill/Fleur
Prompt: "I'll Take Care of You"
Weeks before their first wedding anniversary came, Bill and Fleur decided to travel to Greece to celebrate their belated honeymoon. The reason for this delay was because of their need to help out during the war. They had a wonderful and relaxing time in Greece as they explored the city in a muggle fashion.
Mere weeks after their Greek vacation, Bill finds his bride on the bathroom floor after being sick to her stomach. This goes on all week. By the second day he had the routine of caring for her down pat. Including carrying her back to bed and leaving ginger tea on the bedside table.
Finally, by Friday, Bill had enough of witnessing Fleur being ill without knowing why. So he takes her to St. Mungo's for a check-up.
Sitting in a exam room waiting for the elderly healer to arrive, Bill tells Fleur lovingly, "I will take care of you and be by your side no matter what" before kissing her.
"I know you would," whispers Fleur absolutely terrified with not knowing what's wrong because for all she knows she could be dying. (what emotion is she feeling here?)
That is when the healer walks into the exam room holding Fleur's chart.
The healer announces to the couple, "After reviewing the symptoms you listed, I just have to do one simple spell to reveal my suspicions are correct."
Then the spell is cast upon Fleur's womb revealing a white glow.
A few seconds later the healer explains, "You, my darling, are not sick. As the white glow shows that you are expecting. Your child as estimated should be born in either late April or early May. Let me the first to congratulate you on your first child!"
Before leaving to give the new expecting parents some privacy, the healer says on the way out of the door "Schedule an appointment with your chosen OB-GYN Healer as soon as possible."
And Bill knew, for the rest of her pregnancy, he will do anything that Fleur asks of him from the routine for morning sickness to cravings.
Bill and Fleur both knew that this was a unplanned pregnancy but both were overjoy with the news. This is why the entire Weasley family and everyone else fought in the war, so their children or grandchildren could grow up in a world of peace.
