Chapter 13
Fred wished that he could write to his daughter reassuringly. He wished he could tell her honestly that everything was ok. But instead, he found himself sitting in front a blank piece of parchment, not knowing what to write. He and Kat rarely spoke and Fred didn't know if that was an improvement from their constant arguments or not. What he wasn't expecting, however, was the conversation he was about to have with his wife.
His pen- Kat insisted on binning every quill and piece of parchment in the house- was hovering above the paper when Kat awkwardly shuffled into the living room. She took a seat on the sofa and sighed heavily.
"This needs to stop, Freddie."
Fred spun around to face his wife, keeping a completely straight face.
"I'm sorry," Kat continued, "I've been a mess lately. I do understand what you're doing, and it's right, you're right. I can't tell you to change your life. You're a wizard and that's amazing, it really is. But what we're doing right now isn't fair- we're breaking poor Molly's heart and if you go to stay with George one more time, you may as well start paying rent! You have such a massive, amazing family, and I don't have anyone expect you and Mol."
Fred remained silent for a few moments. "My massive, amazing family is exactly the same size as your massive, amazing family. And it consists of exactly the same people. My family is your family too." He paused and rubbed a hand across his face, "I'm sorry I was so impatient. Everything- well, most things- you've done or felt have been completely understandable. I can't imagine what it would be like to experience what you went through."
"Freddie, there's a reason I've been so snappy with you lately. I didn't want it to be true, I thought it was a mistake or a, I don't know, a glitch, especially considering everything that's been happening lately."
Kat couldn't sit still. She fidgeted and shuffled about as she spoke and Fred began to get worried. But when Kat finished what she was explaining, Fred suddenly realised how interesting his letter to his daughter would be.
"I'm pregnant."
