Chapter 2
Fred held the weeping woman in his arms stunned. He didn't know what to do. Luckily his twin as always came to the rescue. George walked through the door and quietly pointed to the flat above his head. Fred nodded before gently navigating Hermione to the stairs. When he realized that getting her to walk would be near impossible he reached down and scooped her legs into one of his arms before carrying her up the stairs. Her face was buried in his neck as she sobbed, and the only thing he could do was whisper to her that all would be well, and that he would fix it.
Once they were in the flat Fred tried to lay her on the couch and get her something to drink but she clutched him even tighter and begged him not to leave. "Please Freddie, just hug me." What else was he to do but comply to her wishes. He sat on the couch and cuddled her into his lap not saying a word just lending her all of the comfort his presence could provide.
After about half an hour Hermione was calm enough to speak, and when she did the secret she had kept from everyone but her fiance came barreling out. "Freddie, I'm sick."
"Mya why didn't you tell me! Come on we will floo straight to St. Mungos!"
"It wont help. I have already been."
"What? When? Mya what the hell is going on you're scaring me love."
Hermione proceeded to tell him what had been going on for the past four years. Everything from her illness to Ron's corrupting the wedding each time it was planned, and his mother's disappointment every time it was put off. Fred remained silent through out her explination but the expressions on his face said it all. He was worried and scared for her, these feelings soon turned to anger with her next comment.
"The worst part is Fred, he KNOWS. He knows what this means to me and how bad I want it. I have a month to get pregnant before it is too late. I love him but if this is too much for him I need to know. It's getting to be too much for me!"
"Are you thinking about leaving him?"
"I dunno Freddie, I just dunno."
"He is a right arse for doing this to you. I hate to say it Mya but maybe you are better off without him. Besides you can still use that muggle thing EVF."
Hermione chuckled, "It's IVF, Fred, and I don't want a complete stranger to be my baby's father."
Fred was silent for a few minutes. Hermione could tell he was deep in thought and debating what his next words would be. "What if it didn't have to be?"
"What do you mean? Who else would have a child with me?"
"Me."
