"Really!?" Allyson squealed from the kitchen.
Nearly everyone in the house ran to see what the problem was. And trust me, we were all glad we did. It was a highly amusing sight.
Allyson grabbed Katie's hands and dragged her on top of the table, doing some kind of strange victory type dance. Katie was laughing and had one hand on her now very noticeably pregnant stomach.
"Of course!" Katie said, still laughing. "I can't possibly think of anyone better!"
"I'm gonna be a godmother!" Allyson cried loudly, grinning from ear to ear. I laughed. Katie was right, she probably couldn't find a better person for the job if she tried.
"Allyson, dear, that's wonderful, but would you please get off the table?" Mum said, looking nervous, as though the table was going to fall over. Whether she was worried for Allyson or her dinner table, I couldn't be sure.
"Sorry Mrs. Weasely!" Allyson said happily, jumping down. Then she grabbed both of Mum's hands and spun her around. Mum laughed.
"I'm so happy!" Allyson squealed, dancing around the kitchen. "I have a family!" she sang. "I have a brother and sister, and a bunch of Weaselys!" she added, laughing.
She spun around to face me, throwing her arms around my neck and hugging me tightly.
Now, I'll never be entirely sure of what happened next. All I remember was being dazed from the shock of it. It's possible that I kissed her, or maybe she kissed me, or maybe even there was an earthquake and she stumbled forward at an extremely coincidental angle. Like I said, I'll never be sure. But the next moment, I was kissing her.
Life was good.
The only thing I could possibly be missing was Fred.

Sorry for the short chapter, but we could be leaving AGAIN an minute now, so I wanted to make sure I had something to post. We drove three hours back from the campsite, and where are we going now? Back to the campsite! Ugh!
Anyway, hope you like the chapter, blah, blah, blah, review, blah, blah, blah. Poof!
