38.
I'm falling apart, I'm barely breathing. With a broken heart that's still beating. In the pain, there is healing. In your name I find meaning. So I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on, I'm holdin' on. I'm barely holdin' on to you. ~Lifehouse
Hermione woke up on this rainy morning in Fred's old bed with a fast asleep Emily. Hermione snickered at how Emily loved to sleep in just like Fred. Hermione rolled over onto her back, crossed her arms over her chest, and sighed. Today she was in her 20th week of pregnancy and today Farah and Ginny were going to Healer Michael's to find out the gender of the babies. Yes, you heard right, babies. Hermione found out three weeks ago she was carrying twins. Hermione groaned and climbed out of the bed, leaving Emily to sleep, and dressed for the day. She dressed in ¾ sleeved, loose black dress with a low back and black flats with her hair tamed but left down around her shoulders. She didn't put any makeup on and headed out into the living den where George was lounging on the recliner watching rugby on the muggle TV.
"Hey Hermione." George said with a smile and looked up at her, his smile faltering a little bit. He hated seeing her in a depressed downward spiral like this because one, she was carrying Fred's babies and two; he hated seeing his best sister-in-law get worse and worse. In his eyes, Hermione's face was pale and hollow with dark circles under her eyes and she was thin, more than usual. Hermione forced her thin lips into a smile and sat down beside George and watched rugby.
"Do you have another migraine?" George asked and Hermione nodded her head, resting a hand on her bulging belly. Ever since three days ago, Hermione would get these horrible migraines due to her and Fred's bond. It seems like every five minutes; Hermione would get this sharp pain in her temples because of her and Fred's separation.
"Are you ready, Hermione?" Farah asked coning out of her and George's bedroom. Hermione nodded her head and linked arms with Farah. They then popped out of the flat, leaving George to watch Emily.

Hermione, Farah, and Ginny were in the waiting room, waiting to be called in. Finally, a nurse called Hermione's name and all three girls walked toward the nurse. They followed her in a light pink room, Hlr. Michael's room. Farah helped Hermione change into a white hospital gown and helped her onto the bed.
"Hello Hermione." Healer Michael's said when she entered the room and began to do the test. She waved her wand around Hermione's belly.
"Your babies are perfectly healthy. Are you ready to find out the sexes?" Healer Michaels asked and Hermione nodded her head excitedly. Healer Michaels smiled and muttered a spell, waving it above Hermione's stomach and a pink light appeared around Hermione's stomach.
"Congratulations Hermione, you're having two girls." Healer Michaels said and Hermione smiled. She was excited truly, but she was still depressed about Fred gone.
"My one suggestion, Hermione, is to gain more weight." Healer Michaels said and Hermione agreed and her, Farah, and Ginny left and apperated back to the flat to find George, Lee, and Emily playing the muggle game "Twister".
"MUMMY!" Emily yelled and crawled from under George and ran toward Hermione, making Lee and George collapse. Hermione hugged Emily and waddled over to the couch and plopped down.
"So, what's the verdict?" George asked as he plopped down beside Hermione and Lee sat on her other side.
"Well, let's just say we're going to need more pink." Hermione said with a hug smile and George grabbed her in a tight hug. Hermione returned it and hugged everyone else in the room.
"We should go out and celebrate! I know the perfect place, a new place called 'SpellCast'" said Lee and everyone agreed. Lee went back to Alicia to get ready and so did Ginny. Hermione and Emily went into their room to change for their dinner. Hermione dressed Emily in a red ruffled one-shoulder silhouette dress with a spaghetti strap at right shoulder and black kid's Mary Jane's. She also put a red bow clip in her blonde hair and Hermione changed into a purple v-neck, tank-topped, knee-length dress with a black silk band under her bust, a pair of purple flats, a pair of purple dangling teardrop earrings, a necklace with a silver chain and a sideways heart pendant, and of course her wedding and engagement ring. Fred might have left me, but I'll never leave his side, Hermione thought to herself as she finished putting her hair in a neat bun with chopsticks. Just then, Hermione got another sharp pain in her head which lasted for five minutes.
"Hermione, are you okay?" George asked from outside her bedroom door.
"Yeah." Hermione said as the pain finally went away and she grabbed her silver clutch and took Emily's hand then proceeded out of the room. George was dressed in a white button-down shirt and jeans with dress shoes. Farah was wearing a pink, strapless dress and pink heels. All four then Flooed to "SpellCast" to meet Ginny, Harry, Lee, and Alicia.
