"Ginny come on," Fred pleaded, he had seen Hermione asleep. "She won't even know!"
Ginny knew this was true, it was unfair to not let the twins see their baby, but she also didn't want to risk upsetting Hermione. "I don't know," Ginny said honestly.
"Ginny we will do anything, you know that and because of that she will forgive us," Fred said truthfully, "we won't ever be able to come back to this time again, I need to see him or her."
"She's not mad at me," George said thoughtlessly.
"Well since neither of you are allowed inside I wouldn't be so sure George." Ginny said as she re-entered the room. The twins caught a glimpse of Harry sitting in the chair holding the little white bundle of blankets close to his chest and talking softly to them.
The door shut firmly behind their sister, the twins didn't know how long it would be till someone else opened the door, perhaps it would be Hermione leaving although they were convinced that she wouldn't be coming home with them.
Less than two minutes later Ginny emerged holding the white parcel of blankets close to her chest, "he doesn't have a name yet." Ginny said softly as she handed the tightly wrapped infant to the elder twin.
Fred smoothly took possession of his son, a son, his mind repeated. Fred could see himself in the babies precious face, although he had his mothers hair and ears, he had his eyes and nose.
George's face also was looking into the babies, "thank you Ginny."
Ginny just smiled, it was really magical watching her tough jokester big brothers being all soppy about a baby. "Look at his hair," George pointed out as he brushed his forefinger across the babies hairline.
Without words Fred passed the baby to George, as much as he didn't want to let his son leave his arms, we wanted George, Hermione, himself and his son to be a family more. George smiled in thanks, glad that he didn't need to ask to hold his son. Like Fred, George knew that if they wanted to be in this babies life it meant getting along with his brother, which should be hard considering how close they had been only nine months ago, pre his relationship with his brothers then fiancée, now wife.
Ginny knew she had done the right thing in showing her brothers their son, Ginny pulled a face, their son, it sounded wrong but it felt quite right. Even if they knew whose baby it was it wouldn't make much of a difference, after all they were a family already. The euphoria on her brother's faces was completely priceless, she knew that this had a real chance of working out.
Harry popped his head out the door to inform the three Weasley's that Hermione was stirring, reluctantly George handed the tiny infant back to his sister, wondering when he would see him again. However, he was very grateful that Ginny had provided them these past ten minutes.
Ginny snuck back into the maternity room, leaving two happy yet disappointed men outside the door. Ginny nearly jumped when she saw Hermione watching her re-enter the room, there was an awkward moment of silence as Ginny walked to Hermione's bed and handed her friend her son back.
"I didn't mean to upset you," Ginny said softly as Harry wrapped his hands around her waist.
"I'm not upset," Hermione smiled, "are they still there?"
Ginny almost laughed, the thought of the twins giving up on Hermione was actually funny, "Hermione it is going to take a lot more then you getting mad to get rid of these two. I think you are going to be stuck with them for many years, like this little buddy." Ginny nodded her head towards Hermione's chest where the unnamed baby laid.
"I had a feeling you were going to say that," Hermione said as she sat up gently, swing her legs over the edge of the bed.
"Are you okay?" Harry quickly asked, Hermione nodded "I'm fine. I'm really great actually, I'm really glad his godparents are here."
"Us?" Ginny squealed. Hermione nodded, Ginny threw her arms around Hermione and hugged her, but careful not to squish her new god-son/nephew.
"Have you thought of a name?" Ginny asked, she was very eager to attach a name to the adorable face of her godson.
"I think he is a Drew," Hermione smiled as she lifted the baby up higher so he was now looking over her shoulder resting his head on her shoulder.
"Well you look like you have recovered well, I just need you to sign these forms and have one more check over the little fella then you are right to go." The healer smiled as she took the baby from Hermione's arms and handed her a few forms.
The first one was to make a birth certificate; she filled in hers and Fred's name as the parents. Hermione pursed her lips and raised the quill in the air before writing, Drew Alan Weasley. Hermione then filled out the paperwork explaining that she had someone to help look after her and the baby for the next few days.
"You guys need to sign down here," Hermione said as she handed the sheet of paper for Ginny.
"Still coming home with us then?" Ginny asked, trying to keep the intrigue out of her voice.
Hermione nodded, "just for a few days, it will give Fred and George time to work themselves out and realise what is really important."
Hermione checked over her paper work once more before handing it to the healer who informed her, "He has a clean bill of health."
"Excellent," Hermione said as she stood up, gently cradling Drew in her arms.
"Drew Alan, what a beautiful name. What does it mean?" The healer asked.
"Manly, courageous and handsome," Hermione replied with a smile, as Ginny and harry gathered everything she needed to leave.
"It is very fitting," Ginny said, Harry nodded in agreement, "such a strapping young lad he will be."
"Ready?" Harry asked.
"Yes," Hermione nodded, Harry held the door open Ginny and Hermione then followed behind them.
The twins both bit their lips, not daring to talk in fear of upsetting Hermione. "His name's Drew, it means courageous. He will need a lot of courage to survive with you two as parents."
"Does that mean..." Fred stated to ask before trailing off.
"Yes. If you two can get your act together, I want us to be a real family." Hermione said softly.
Fred boldly, yet gently leaned in and quickly kissed his wife's lips, "we will, I'm sorry and I love you."
Fred had a mischievous smile on his face, a smile that Hermione hasn't seen in eight months, she looked at George to see him wearing the same smile, this caused Hermione to grin. They were back.
"I'm famished," Harry injected, "how about lunch at our place?" Harry offered, he had a feeling Hermione wouldn't be spending the night any more.
The twins looked to Hermione for approval, she nodded and replied, "that sounds really nice."
"Can I hold him?" Fred asked like a six year old wanting to hold a puppy in the pet shop. Hermione handed her husband their son, "there you go Drew, it is your daddy." She noticed the slightly hurt look in George's eye and proceeded to hug him, "one of his dads, he is really lucky to have the two of you." She said as she squeezed him reassuringly, how things could change in a few short hours.
Ginny smiled as they five of them walked down the corridor, she like Hermione had noticed the renewal of the spring in Fred's step, it was a huge relief after the tense version of Fred they had come to know over the last eight months had moved on. About time, it was now only a few more weeks till Christmas.
Aww I think we have reconciliation, hopefully Fred and George have passed that phase of their relationship, however they are boys and this is a drama story so who knows? At this moment not even me!
