Firstly I completely forgot a disclaimer last chapter … we all know JK Rowling owns it all, and I Grace own nothing. Thank you all for reviewing! I decided to update even though I'm dead tired for going to see HPatHBP at midnight … Here's the next chapter! I'm glad you liked the last one …
*HW pov**
"NO FRED! You cannot buy Jonathon a baby broom for his one and three fourth birthday! I don't care what George says … it doesn't exist! We don't want him to be spoiled like Draco Malfoy. You do also realize that I'm leaving for my check up, and when I get back home, my perfect, beautiful, brown eyed boy, better be in the perfect condition of health." I said to Fred as I floo'ed to Saint Mungo's for my baby check up.
I had just recently found out I was pregnant, so according to Molly I had to have a check-up to see how her grandbaby is doing. I walked up to the counter. "Hermione Weasley."
"Okay … I'll call you when the healer will see you miss."
I sat down in the waiting area and waited about 9 minutes. This was a long time for me to be away from Johnny … Fred better not have really gotten that broom. He had promised he would wait until I was ready for him to be on a broom stick. What if he had my flying abilities, and fell and hurt himself …
"HERMIONE WEASLEY" the nurse called. I got up and followed her into a room, and sat down on the table.
"So, Hermione, do you know how far along you are?" asked a kind looking, older healer as she came into the room holding a clipboard.
"Umm, I'm not really sure. I have a little boy that's almost two and he's quite the hand full, so I haven't been keeping track of my cycle so well. I've just been so busy, and the time seems to fly by." … This is so unlike me! Fred is rubbing off on me.
"Oh I see, well we'll know in a minute." She stood in front of me and did some confusing wand movements. "You're almost three months. And I'd like to get a better look, since you're that far along … is that alright with you?"
"Oh yes, I'm sure your familiar with Molly Weasley?"
"Oh yes, I am … haha I've delivered some of her grandchildren, she'll be wanting a first picture … correct?"
"Oh yes." I said with a laugh.
So again the healer did some more confusing wand moments and the next thing I knew there was a picture on the wall. It was like a muggle tv, but the show was inside me. "Oh my!" said the healer
"What?! Is something wrong?!" I asked, as my heart skipped a beat and then went into over drive. I looked at the picture harder. It did look a little different from Johnny's, but I couldn't exactly tell why she had 'Oh My'ed!
"Nothings wrong per say, but is the world ready for another set of Weasley twins?" joked the healer
… 'Oh My!' Was right! Twins?! Especially if they were like their father and his twin … I stared at the picture on the wall scared to death, but then I saw their hearts beating, and I didn't care how much trouble they would be. I love Fred, and he's going to be excited … wow and I can just imagine Molly's reaction too.
"Can I have two pictures of this?" I asked the healer in a daze
"Why of course dear." She said with an encouraging smile. She handed me the pictures and said, "Everything looks good, so just make a 5 month appointment on your way out. See you three in two months"
"Okay" I said as I left the room and made my appointment at the front desk. I made my way to the fire place and floo'ed home.
I walked out of the family room fire place and looked around … everything seemed to be normal … I walked towards the kitchen to see what my boys were doing … there better not be a broom anywhere in sight… in the kitchen Johnny was in his high chair and Fred was feeding him some food.
"Hey guess what Mione!?" Fred asked excitedly.
"What Fred?" I asked, trying to act normal, I was just over reacting. Twins won't be THAT difficult …
"I got him to eat some of this carrot mush! Wooo hoo! Go me! I'm the best dad ever!" He cheered.
"hahaha how did you do that? He hates the carrot food."
"Well Mione … if you didn't already know … I have certain skills that no one else can obtain, even through years of practice." He joked as he cleaned Johnny up and handed him to me. Fred continued to clean the high chair and the mess they'd made, while I held Johnny.
He was the cutest little thing. I was right. He did end up having my brown eyes, and also he seemed to be a very quick learner. I started to carry him up stairs, for his nap. I put him in his crib and stood there watching his breathing become slower as he fell asleep.
"So how was the appointment?" Fred asked quietly as he came up behind me and wrapped his arms around me.
"It went great. Almost three months. Want to see the picture? I have it right here …"
"Yea! But you got one for my mum too, right?"
"Of course I did Fred. I know better than to not get her one," I said as I handed him the picture.
It was sort of dark in Jonathon's room, with only the night light to brighten the room, so I wondered if he would be able to tell there were two. He looked at the little picture and he looked confused.
"This one doesn't look like Johnny's … does it?"
"… No Fred, it doesn't" I paused as he gave me a weird look. "Because there are two …"
He froze … staring at the picture. Then a smile slowly started to take over his face. His head snapped towards my stomach. "Twins?!"
My eyes started to water. This was going to work out perfectly … "Yes Fred, twins."
"YEA!" he said as he threw his fist up in the air and then came over and hugged me. "George and I always thought it would be the coolest thing ever to have twins … I have a good idea …"
Oh no … his good ideas usually ended badly … "And what is it this time Fred?"
"Oh don't even try to pretend, that you don't love all of my fun ideas!" he laughed.
I smiled, "That's not exactly the adjective I would use all the time … What's this splendid idea?"
"Well we start a timer and then send this picture to mum by owl, and then see how long it takes her to get here … PLEASE MIONE!!!!!!" he asked making his gorgeous blue eyes into irresistible puppy dog eyes.
"fine … but if she's mad it's not my fault." I cave in.
"YEA!" he yelled as he ran down stairs to get our owl ready. I looked back at Johnny, and he was still sleeping, so I followed my husband down stairs.
By the time I found him, he was sitting on the couch in the family room, because he had already sent the owl.
"I'm giving the owl 2 minutes and 30 second to get there …. But that might not be accurate, because we've never timed it before. Oh, and just so you know, we can visit your parents this weekend to tell them."
"Oh Fred you're getting way too into this … I just hope your mum isn't upset. You sure sent it fast … Did you even write her a letter to go along with the picture?"
"No? She doesn't need a letter. She probably already knows everything about them from just looking at the picture. She's a pro at looking at those picture things … wait do you know the sexes?"
"No… the healer didn't say … I guess we'll find out at the 5 month check up."
All of a sudden the fire place was turning green. "Damn! I guessed in the 50's, and it's only 42 seconds …"
"Fred! You cannot treat our great news like a game anymore!!!" I said, getting a little angry … maybe it was the hormones speaking.
"FREDRICK WEASLEY! HOW DARE YOU JUST SEND THIS PICTURE! … oh wait … Is Johnny sleeping? Oh I'm so sorry dear." Said Mrs. Wealsey as she turned towards me and realized Johnny wasn't down here … "Oh Hermione!!!!!" she said as she came and hugged me. "TWINS!!!! Oh this is so wonderful! … I'm guessing your about three months? Right?"
"Yes I am, and I'm sorry Fred did that to you." I apologized.
"It's alright sweetie, I knew it wasn't you!" she turned to Fred.
"I'm sorry mum … really I am … the excitement got control of me … did you know it only too you 42 seconds to get here?" he asked looking sheepish.
"Oh Freddie, you'll never change!" laughed Mrs. Weasley as she came over and hugged her son. "I'm so proud of you!!!"
"… uhh thanks?" said Fred looking uncomfortable at what she was congratulating him for doing.
"Now, you'll finally see what it was like to raise you Freddie." Said Mrs. Weasley with a smirk, but then she turned to me and said. "Oh I just MUST start owling everyone! I'll tell them the news, and that you wanted to tell them, but I took care of it for you. You can't be under ANY unnecessary stress! And don't fret at all. I will help you prepare for the twins, and tell you what to expect. I will always babysit any time you need. A second pair of Weasley twins is not to be considered lightly, but you two can handle it. Well I must be off. Things to do, owls to write. See you all later for Sunday night dinner. Oh and Hermione, invite your parents, so we can all celebrate together!" she said as she stepped into the fire place and floo'ed home.
I turned to Fred and smiled. This was going to be interesting …
….
"Can you believe it?! I bet they're just like their father!" My mum was saying as we sat down to dinner.
Everyone who knew the twins when they were younger looked nervous … what was I doing bringing another set into the world?!
"Sweetie, don't look so nervous. You're great with Johnny. I mean he's absolutely perfect, and I don't just mean his name," my dad joked.
"I don't look nervous!" I protested.
"You're right, you just look scared out of your mind," Joked Mr. Weasley.
"She's not scared. She can't wait to have twin boys names Gred, and Forge. Right Mione," Joked George, as Fred was shaking his head NO.
"Don't start that George, I mean it. And don't even think about giving Fred any ideas!" I warn him sternly.
"I'll keep an eye on him, and make sure he behaves," Alicia assures me.
"It sounds like you're babysitting your husband," laughed my mum. She loved Fred, and didn't think he was immature … she thought he was a regular adult, as if! … I smiled, this is going to be quite an adventure!
Please review and I'll update! -Grace
