Ok, so here's the next chapter.
I know it's very soon but I have a free day on Monday and decided that I could take it slow on my school work.
And I just felt like writing today…
1 month later
"Mom! Will you please stop and sit down? You're not helping."
Ron looked at his mother who went to sit down again.
"She's helping Ron, to make me feel nervous when it's my time." Ginny said taking Harry's hand.
Three hours ago Alicia was preparing diner when her contractions began.
George had brought her to St-Holisto and contacted the rest of the family.
Ginny, Harry, Ron, Hermione, Molly and Arthur were desperately waiting for news.
Teddy was spending the night with a colleague of Ginny.
A few seconds later Bill and Fleur arrived.
"Sorry we're late. It's hard to find a babysitter at this hour. Is there any news?"
Harry shook his head and Bill and Fleur went to sit down.
"Where's Percy?"
"He was still at work but he and Penelope will come as soon as he's finished."
Five minutes later Percy joined them as well but it took another hour before George entered the room, holding a tiny baby in his arms.
"Weasley's, I'd like to present you the newest family member… Fred Arthur Weasley."
Everyone got up and walked towards him, Molly had started to cry and Arthur was touched that his son named his child after his brother and him of course but before every one could take a look at the baby a healer entered the room as well holding another baby.
"Ow, and this is your second newest family member George Ronald Weasley Jr.
If my little brother wants to become godfather of course."
Ron looked up at his brother and nodded. "Thanks George."
"Just see it as a little sign of appreciation."
The healer smiled and handed the little baby to Ron who looked tender at his godson.
Harry placed his hand on his friend's shoulder.
"Merlin's pants, those are two godchildren. I'm a busy godfather ain't I?"
Harry and George both laughed, Harry had already asked Ron to be the godfather of his son as well.
"I guess twins just run in the family. Come, we better get them back to their mother. I really can't believe this. They're my boys."
He said as he tenderly stroke Fred's cheek with his dumb.
Molly who had been crying all the time walked to her son and hugged him carefully.
"I'm so proud of you."
Hermione who had already been on the verge of crying now started to cry completely making Ginny cry as well.
Harry who had never seen his wife cry looked at her.
"Stupid pregnancy hormones." She mumbled making the both of them laugh.
George left the room followed by Ron and the rest of the Weasley's.
Harry had thrown his arm around Ginny's shoulder.
They congratulated the brand-new parents but around midnight a healer entered the room.
"You really should be going now. Having a twin isn't easy and both the mother as the children need their rest."
------
George sat alone in the hospital hallway, ten minutes ago Alicia had fallen asleep and he needed some time alone.
"Fred. I know you're up there you dirty old rat, looking down at me. Watching your two nephews. I named one after you, you know. I miss you, I guess that's just a wound that will never heal is it? Anyway, I made dad and Ron godfather's. That should've been you, you know that. No, but you decided to take the easy way out didn't you?"
He remained silent for a while.
"You know talking to people who aren't there is a sign of insanity don't you?" one of the portraits said.
George looked at it and shook his head.
Fred was still there, he knew it because he could still feel him, deep inside of him.
After sitting in the hallway for another hour he decided to get up and get back inside Alicia's room.
When he went to lay down in the sofa standing in the room he didn't notice Alicia's open eyes staring at him.
He had thought she had been asleep but she wasn't.
She could fully well guess what he just had done, she already knew for a long time now that George still spoke to his brother at night in the hope he could hear him.
Why would she take away this hope?
------
Ginny and Harry entered their house.
"Happy Birthday." Ginny said smiling, kissing him.
"Ginny, we're only the thirtieth and…" he heard the clock in the living room yell half one and smiled.
He had been 21 for a half hour now and he didn't even realised it.
"Now, you'll have to wait for tomorrow morning for your surprise but I promise you… it's gigantic."
She yawned and Harry smiled at her.
"We better get to bed won't we?"
Ginny nodded and he slowly followed her upstairs.
------
The next morning, or a few hours later, Harry didn't know how to say it he woke up from the sound of a car coming from outside.
He noticed Ginny wasn't lying next to him any more and threw away the sheets to look outside the window.
At first he thought he was mistaken so he got dressed and went outside finding Ginny sitting on a brand new car.
"Ron told me you've been following driving lessons for your auror trainings so I thought, what's the use of driving lessons if you don't have a car?"
"Well, neither Ron nor I have passed a muggle driving test but Ginny this is just… wow!"
He kissed her and looked at her. "You have any idea how much I love you?"
"Hermione already told me that guys could get obsessed with cars. Anyway, I don't know wetter it's a good one or not. Hermione also told me that there's the same difference in that as with brooms."
Harry smiled at her. "It's perfect."
Ok, so I loved the muggle driving test bit in the epilogue and I decided that there had to be a great start to that so how about Harry getting a car from Ginny for his birthday?
Liked it?
And what about the twins?
Tell me about it in a nice little review, they sure are appreciated.
