Roxanne- A Little Early

I was now almost seven months pregnant and I was finally being to show. Before I was able to put it down to extra weight but now I had a definite baby shape. I tried to cover it up at first but more recently I learnt that I didn't care. Everyone who I cared about it so there was really no point in hiding it.

I think that it would be obvious that when I finally told my mother, she wasn't impressed. However I held back telling her until I sat my NEWT's and just before the end of my final year at Hogwarts. I also waited until the day before my birthday so she couldn't shout at me too much.

Fred had already persuaded me to tell Dad so he helped by defending me and keep Mum calm, where appropriate. Surprisingly, though, the thing that upset her most was the fact that I had taken three months to finally tell her. However that was only after she had gotten passed the original shock.

The rest of the people in the family, who didn't already know, knew by the end of my birthday after Mum accidentally announced it after having a little too much to drink. Victoire, Dominique and James played their roles as surprised party goers knowing very well what my mother would say if she found out I had told them first.

After a couple of days of her completely ignoring that I had told her I was pregnant and then a week of her asking the routine questions, like 'whose is it?' and 'do you really know what you're doing?', Mum finally started helping me out. She took me to the library and bookstores to stock up on books about proper eating diets and how to deal with hormones as well as the extra weight. She even took me out shopping to get maternity clothes that were similar to some of my current garments.

When I was three months on, Fred, Dominique and Angelina took me to my first sonogram; I had decided to try and do it the muggle way, keeping the whole thing on the down low as much as possible. Fred held my hand while Dom messed around with all the equipment until Mum had had enough and asked her, as politely as possible, to sit down and stop fiddling.

We were inside for about ten minutes and we left with a picture of my baby (according to Fred but I still couldn't see it after staring at it for five minutes straight). Also under my mother's arm was an envelope containing the gender of my baby but I was refusing to open it.

.

"I lost it again!" I called down the hall. "Fred! I lost it again!" I was staring down at my first sonogram. I had my more recent one right next to it and I could see it clearly but no matter how hard I tried I could not see the baby in the stupid first picture.

"Are you holding it upside-down again Rox? That does have a tendency to hinder your view on it!"

"Of course I am not holding it upside down! I am not an ijit!" I quickly checked that it was the right way around and as far as I could tell it was. "I still can't see it!"

I heard a loud sigh and then the scrapping of a chair on my new wooden floor. Then I saw Fred's head pop around the corner, "It's upside down, the numbers are supposed to be at the top not the bottom. Anything else, your Highness?" He bowed lowly.

I rolled up a nearly by piece of paper and threw it off him as hard as I could. It bounced off his chest and then landed on the ground by his feet. He pretended to look wounded by my shot and he even fell back a little, gripping his chest in fake agony. I picked but another piece and threw it again as he continued to fake his death when he stopped abruptly at the sound of the doorbell and went to go and answer it.

"Roxanne, some dude is here to see you!"

"Can't really get up and welcome him in Fred! Invite him in!" I heard a chuckle from down the corridor followed by the sound of approaching footsteps.

I continued to look at the black and white photo of my child, for the God know how many time that day, turning it up and down still trying to spot the fetus. "Fred it doesn't matter what way you hold it, there is still nothing th..."

I looked up expecting to see my baby brother but instead seeing someone I was hoping to avoid at least until I had given birth and maybe had time to move to the other side of the world.

"I see you found her," Fred said walking inside and placing a cup of tea next to me. "Two sugars and a ton of milk as usual. So how do you two know each other?"

He spoke first, breaking the awkward silence between us. I continued to stare in shock as he spoke. "From school. We were both in the same year at Hogwarts until we left. Quiet odd saying that I have left Hogwarts, seems like just yesterday I was getting on the train in first year," He laughed slightly while Fred nodded along.

"Yeah, this is Jason. We were fairly close in Hogwarts. He's a really great guy but he is prone to being quite forgetful. Yeah, he forgot to put on a condom and got me pregnant." I picked up my tea, blowing onto it before taking a sip. Fred stared at me for a long time before turning to face Jason.

"Okay, I think it would be best if you left. Right now."

I smiled at Jason, lifting my hand to give him a quick wave when all of sudden a sharp pain shot across my abdomen. I hunched over, grabbing my stomach tightly while trying as best as I could to hold in the gasp that was threatening to escape my lips

"Hey, hey. Careful, don't stress out and remember to stay calm that's what the doctors said," Fred reminded me, taking a step closer prior to stopping when he put his foot into some liquid on the floor beneath my chair. "God Roxanne, did you spill your tea or something?" I shook my head. "Then what...?" I raised my eyebrow. "You're in labour...? But you're not due for another two, three months!"

Jason, who was just standing in the corner with his jaw almost touching the floor, took in a deep breath. I threw his a look before adding to Fred, "Well obviously this baby doesn't like being told what to do. Well come on, call an ambulance, don't just stand there!"


A/N: Well that is the end of Roxanne's little bit! I hope you enjoyed it and you liked the way I wrote her! Just in case any of you might have been wondering, or maybe just curious, she called her baby Danielle Dominique Weasley (it is mentioned later but I just want to let you know). Also I don't see her ending up with anyone, so that doesn't bode well for poor Jason!
