"Do you have any coffee?" Rose asked her cousin Dominique
"Yeah we do, it's in the pantry" came the s reply from down the hallway.
Dom shared her apartment with her boyfriend Scott Corner, yes the son of Aunt Ginny's ex-boyfriend, they had been together since the start of their seventh year. Scott was out for the morning at training, he was the keeper for the Applebee Arrows, meanwhile Dominique was a reserve chaser for the Harpies. Dom had asked Rose to come over this morning to help her with something.
"What are you doing?" Rose asked down the hallway as she finished making her coffee.
"I'll be there in a minute Rosie" was Dom's reply
Rose looked up from her coffee and saw her cousin walk into the kitchen.
"So what do you need help with?" she asked
"I need you to perform a spell for me"
"Aren't you a witch as well Cus?" Rose laughed
"This is a spell I can't perform, it's on myself" Dom went on the explain
"What kind of spell is this?" Rose asked raising one of her dark red eyebrows
Dom tucked her strawberry blond hair behind her ear before replying "A….pregnancy spell"
Rose's jaw dropped at her cousin's answer "A-ar-are you sure?" she spluttered
"Well, I am a few days late" Dom answered
"Okay, well um, do you have the book with incantation? I know Flitwick taught us the spell in seventh year, but I don't want to stuff it up" said Rose as she place her cup in the sink
"Yeah it's in the lounge" Dom said making her way there with Rose following
They made their way to lounge room where the book sat on the sofa with a Hogwarts Alumni bookmark sticking out.
Dom opened up the book to the page with incantation and handed it to Rose.
Rose read over the page before placing it on the table next to Dom's sofa.
"Okay, perhaps you should lie down on the sofa and lift up your shirt" Rose instructed her older cousin.
Dom lay down on the sofa and pulled back her t-shirt, as Rose pulled her wand out of her back pocket.
Rose held her wand over Dom's abdomen area and said the incantation. They wanted for wand tip light up either yellow or red.
They waited…..
And waited….
Both girls gasped as the wand tip changed colour to….yellow.
"Oh My" Rose covered her mouth in shock
"Fuck" swore Dom in a whisper.
"You're having a baby" said Rose looking at her cousin
Dom nodded "Yes Scott and I are having a baby" as she sat up
Rose sat down next to her still in shock "How do you feel?"
"Nervous, scared, worried, too many emotions really" Dom said looking at her cousin
"We should double check this test, I'm not healer or studying to be one" Rose said
"Yeah, but who?" the other girl questioned
"Molly"
"Why her, she'll probably have a go at me for having sex before marriage"
"Perhaps, but she's our only choice, unless you know any healer or training to be one" Rose rationalised
"Fine, let's go then" Dom grumbled as they made their way the fireplace to floo over to their cousin's flat.
Rose arrived at Molly's flat followed by Dom.
Dom choked on the dust "I really should ask Molly to clean out her fireplace after she does the test"
"Well let's find her then" Rose said as they went into the kitchen looking for their cousin
"Is she even at home?"
Rose listened for a while "Yeah, the shower is running and well no one else lives here, do they?"
Both girls made their way down towards the bathroom, but suddenly stopped dead when someone walked out of Molly's bedroom. Rose and Dom's were shocked to say the least at this sight, before them was a very attractive guy, with tanned skin, he was only wearing jeans, no shirt, no shoes or socks, he had dark brown hair and apple green coloured eyes. Because of his lack of shirt, they could see his six pack and his muscular arms and shoulder.
Dom whispered Rose "Who the hell is that?"
"I have no freaking idea" came the redhead's reply
"Uh Hi" the attractive guy greeted them
"Uh, hello" Dom replied
"Are you here to see Molly?" he asked them
"Yeah we are…sorry, but who are you?" Rose asked him
"Sorry, I'm Jarrod Dews" he came forward to shake their hands
"Nice to meet you Jarrod" Dom smiled
"Let me guess, you're Dom and you are Rose? Right?" he asked the girls
"Yes, how did you know that?"
"Oh Molly, pointed you out a couple of times in some photos" he explained
The bathroom door opened and Molly stepped out in a bathrobe, she looked at Jarrod and then noticed her cousins standing in the hallway.
"Shit" she exclaimed
Dom and Rose looked at her with questioning looks that read Please explain
"Uh, hello girls" she smiled at them
"Molly Grace Weasley, I think you have some explaining to do" Dom said folding her arms
"Right well, let's go into the lounge room, while Jarrod makes breakfast" Molly replied herding them both
"Do you girls want anything?" Jarrod asked
"Nothing for me" replied Rose
"Dom will have a toasted muffin with Jam" Molly replied on behalf of her cousin
"How did you know that?"
"Have you eaten anything differently on a Saturday morning since you moved out of home?" Molly asked her
"Well…no" Dom replied as all the girls sat on her on the lounge with Molly in the middle
"I may be only a year older than you Dom, but I notice things you know"
"Right, so answer this, is Jarrod your boyfriend?" Rose asked the brown haired girl
"Or a fling?" piped in Dom
"He's not a fling" Molly hissed "Nor is he my boyfriend" she went on the explain
"Aww"
"He's my….Fiancée'' she told her cousins
"YOUR FIANCEE?" Both girls screeched
"Yeah" Molly laughed
Both girls hugged their cousin.
"Since when ?" Dom asked her
"Since last night"
"Where's your ring?" Rose asked noticing the absent engagement ring on her left hand
"I took it off for my shower"
"How long have you and Jarrod been together?"
"Just after you stared your Seventh year" Molly answered
"You've been together for almost a year and you didn't say anything?"
"Yeah, I know I should have told everyone, but in a big family like ours, everything becomes everyone else's business and I just wanted something for me" she explained
"So not even Lucy knows?"
"No, not even my sister knows, I'll tell when she gets back tomorrow morning before going the Gran and Grandad's tomorrow for lunch where I'll tell the family, it was just a fluke that you two found out now"
"Why does the name, Dews sound familiar" Rose thought aloud drumming her fingers on her knee
"He's brother is a Muggleborn, in Huey's year, perhaps your brother has mentioned him" Molly answered her
"Jarrod, is a Muggle?" Dom asked in disbelief
"Yeah he is, only Trent was both with Magical ability, we met when dropped him at King's Cross last year and I dropped off Lucy"
"Right, wow so Grandad will love him them" laughed Dom
"What does he do for work that makes him look so fit?"
Molly blushed before replying "He's a fireman"
"What's a fireman?" Dom asked
"Remember that calendar we gave Vic for her 21st?"
"Oh…OH!" said Dom aloud looking Molly who was trying badly to hide her blush
"Well you are lucky Mol" Rose told her
"Thanks, but what you both doing her in the first place?" she asked them
"We need your help….well more like Dom needs your help"
"With what?" Molly asked her half French cousin
"I need you to do a second pregnancy test on me, Rose did one at my flat, but you being trainee healer well your test will be more accurate"
"You're pregnant?" Molly asked
Dom nodded "from the first test yes"
"Right well, let's do this then" Said Molly as she went to fetch her wand from the bathroom
"Hey girls, there's food on the table, Dom there's muffin for you as well in there" Jarrod said as he made his way through the lounge room and down the hallway to the bedroom
"Thanks Jarrod" the both smiled at him
"Molly is a lucky girl"
"Yeah, he's so fit" Dom giggled
"Well so is Scott" Rose reminded her
"Evidently" Dom laughed placing her hand on her abdomen
"Okay, lie down Dom and pull your shirt back" Molly instructed her as she came back into the room with her wand ready to go.
Dom lay down and pulled back her shirt just as she had done earlier.
"Now I'm going to do the charm we use at St Mungo's" Molly told her'
Molly did the charm and the wand tip glowed Yellow again
"Well looks like you are pregnant" Rose said looking at her cousin who was still lying down
"It will be okay" Molly assured her
"That's easy for you to say, you get to tell the family you're engaged, while I tell Gran and Grandma that there's another great-grandchild on the way" she groaned
"First you have to tell Scott he's going to be a daddy" Rose reminded her
"Yeah and I'm going to be a Mum" she said burying her face in her hands
