The light shone brightly through their bedroom window as Fred and George stared down their wife, who had woken to news of their baby. Her eyes were wide, and her mouth hung open in shock.
She spoke before they could attempt to clarify, "Baby? Are we adopting?"
They shook their heads, and Fred spoke softly, not wanting to scare her further, "No."
George took a deep breath and took her hand, "You wouldn't wake up. At first, we thought you were resting. Then, when we tried to wake you, you nothing we did worked, so we took you to see a Medi witch."
"It was mainly because you were shocking us whenever we would try to touch you."
Her eyes bugged out, "What?"
"Yeah, we tried to touch you, Mum did too, and then you shocked us and the Medi Witches too."
Hunn shook her head, "What the hell? How is that possible?"
"Yeah, we were surprised, but the witches there managed to stop it."
Fred climbed into bed beside her, "Then they took your blood to do some old-fashioned tests because their spells weren't working."
George squeezed her hand, "They came back after an hour or so and told us you were pregnant."
She shook her head frantically and pulled back from them both, "We had that spell done months ago, and they said that I wasn't."
George shot Fred a worried look. "They said the baby was using your magic to hide itself from their spells."
Her eyes looked down at her belly, and she sat silently, staring at herself for a long moment. Her brows knit together in concentration as she thought, and slowly, her hands went to her belly, "I'm pregnant?"
Fred and George held her tightly and nodded, "About four or maybe five months along..."
"They can't tell..."
"...little bugger is having a field day hiding in there."
"We're having a baby..." she said, her voice shaking with a mix of fear and excitement.
Hunn broke into tears, and Fred and George took her in their arms, holding her close between them. They whispered words of comfort, rocking her back and forth, vowing to protect them both.
...
"Come here! I can't believe there's another little grandchild on the way !" Molly screeched.
A week after the wedding, Hunn and the twins broke the news to Molly and Arthur, who mobbed them both with affection. Hugged and congratulated, the three new parents were ushered inside, where they were welcomed by Fluor, Bill, Tonks, Lupin, and Charlie, who was napping in the chair on the other side of the room.
"Congratulations!" Tonks offered to pull Hunn into her arms with her tiny baby bump between them.
"Thank you. It's still tough to think about. This has all happened so quickly," Hunn babbled nervously, her hand resting over her stomach.
"I bet. Not even a moment to think about it," Lupin agreed, "Now, after a few short months, your little bundle will be here."
Fred laughed, "We're terrified but also excited."
It was easy for him to say, Hunn thought. He wasn't the one carrying the baby. Her eyes darted to her belly, imagining the baby floating around there, kicking and growing, without a care in the world.
Molly moved them all into the open room and presented the cake, which was decorated in pink and blue frosting, "decorated the cake beautifully, and because they couldn't tell us if it was a boy or a girl, we just put both colors."
"Molly. It's beautiful. Thank you for all of this. You didn't have to go to all of this trouble. I know that this is sudden."
"Nonsense. I really wish we could do more, but with everything going on, we decided that it would be best to keep things small with the family only," Molly told Hunn, grinning, "Besides, Tonks is having a baby too, so this is as much for her as it is for you!"
Tonks jumped to her feet and brought over a large but light sparkling box, "This is from Remus and me," She looked giddy with a smile that brightened up the room.
Molly sat Hunn down in the soft chair and set the large box in her lap. Hunn took in the large pink box, nearly blinding in the pale orange firelight. Her fingers tore the paper off and tossed it to the floor, revealing an easy-to-open box she tore through just before tears at the sight of the large and detailed quilted blanket, "This is a beautiful Tonks. Thank you so much."
"I added a few squares, and so did Molly, but It's mostly empty, so you and your family can add to it."
"That's amazing! Thank you." Fred said, shaking Lupin's hand.
George handed Hunn a bag, obviously from the very excited Fluer, who was perched on Bill's lap, holding him tightly, "That is from us," she said, with her thick accent.
Hunn pulled out a beautiful and costly baby book. The cover had their family name engraved and a photo of a younger Hunn with Fred and George laughing under the stars near the Black Lake, "Ron took that picture when you were first dating and sent it to me as proof. Knocked me on my arse when I saw it."
George laughed, "You didn't believe him?"
"Damn right, I didn't. Ron told me that a beautiful and smart girl was dating both of you, and she was a Ravenclaw. I needed to see it to believe it," Bill said, smirking.
"You had no faith in us?"
"That's awful. You should have known we could find a beautiful and smart woman."
Bill laughed, "You know I've never doubted you, but for you to find a smart and beautiful woman who can deal with both of you? That's a surprise."
Hunn couldn't help but laugh, "I can handle anything. It's them who have to handle me."
They broke out in laughs and giggles as Fred and George blushed.
FIuer's laugh tinkled through the air, "I saw the photo when I was unpacking our things and knew it would be perfect for something, so I saved it until now."
"Thank you. It is wonderful."
Molly brought a package next and set it in her lap. "This is something from Arthur and me. We used them with Fred and George, but I cleaned them up for you."
Hunn dug into the box and pulled out two green and blue blankets. They were soft and patched up but adorable, "We haven't seen these in years," George commented, pulling one of the blankets from her hands, "This one was mine. My name is still in the corner."
Hunn smiled, "We can add the baby's name to the other corner. This is a fantastic gift, Molly. Thank you!"
They spent the rest of the night chatting and eating cake while Tonks opened her gifts, and everyone traded their little bits of parenting advice and horror stories.
"When Fred and George were three, I thought I would lose my mind."
Arthur laughed, "They pushed your buttons. I remember coming home one night, and they were naked while you were trying to catch the gnomes they brought in the house."
"I could have killed them. Those gnomes were hiding everywhere for weeks."
"What about when they were seven?" Charlie asked, sitting up and stretching.
Molly groaned, "Hunn, they drove me crazy. I had to check their rooms for odd things they would make constantly, but when they were seven, they nearly killed the cat, and that's when I knew they would be a handful."
"How did you nearly kill a cat?" Hunn asked, looking up at them worried.
They shrugged, "The cat ate something we made for Charlie. We weren't trying to kill the cat."
Molly cocked her head, "Were you trying to kill your brother then?"
Fred smiled at his mother, "Who knows, it was a long time ago."
...
"Well, we can't tell you anything new because the baby is still shielding itself from our spells."
"How can we tell if the baby is okay?" George asked, squeezing was wife's hand tightly.
Fred popped in with a worried question, "Is there anything we can do?"
The Medi-Witch glanced at her paperwork, "Well, it does seem that the baby is resisting all magical care, but there is still the muggle way."
"What do you mean the muggle way?"
George chuckled, "How can the muggles help us with this?"
"Muggles have ways to see and examine babies while they're still in the womb."
"Who can we go to without them being exposed to magic?" Hunn asked, eager to get some answers about her unborn child.
"I worked closely for a long time with a squib who decided to become a muggle doctor. I'm sure he would be happy to help."
They agreed to see the muggle doctor and left for the muggle world with an address and a little pinch of hope. Hunn, being pregnant, could not travel in the more convenient ways such as broom, and Fred cleared their floo for dust, and off they went to a floo much closer to the muggle world.
When they arrived, Hunn pulled out a muggle street map while Fred and George pulled their wands out, ready for anything, and they began to walk. They didn't need to go too far; fortunately, many kind of muggles could give them directions.
The building they were directed to was small and old, with a large sign out front reading Doctor Care Anywhere. Fred led them in, and they were greeted by more kind muggles who took their information and led them to be seen by the doctor.
An older smiling man entered, "Hello! You must be Hunn and Fred and George." he said, pointing to who he thought was who.
Fred grinned, "I am George! Nice to meet you."
George laughed, holding his hand out for a firm shake, "I'm Fred."
"Let's get down to business. Why are you here?"
They explained, while the doctor nodded and took notes, "Well, they seem to have done a blood test already. But we have one we like to do as well. We'll do some tests and then see how the baby is doing."
Over the next two hours, the doctor made her pee on a stick, took her blood, and rubbed cold, sticky gel on her chubby, soft belly.
"We are doing this today to get a picture of the baby and to see how far along you are."
They watched closely as the doctor moved a strange tool over her stomach until he surprised them with a loud "Wow! There it is!"
"What?"
He moved a gray and black screen over so they could see, "Here is your baby," he said, pointing to a weird bean-like shape.
"Really?"
He nodded, "It looks as if you're about five months along. You are a naturally muscular woman. I assume you played sports in school?"
She nodded, not taking her eyes off the confusing screen.
"That would also explain why you haven't gained much weight, but I also suspect you'll experience more in the next few months."
After letting the news sink in, he asked, "Would you like to know what you're having?"
"I thought we were having a baby?" Fred asked, confused, squinting at the blob, trying to find a hit of something odd.
The muggle doctor laughed, "Of course, you're having a baby, but would you like to know if it's a boy or a girl?"
"You can do that?" Hunn freaked out, "Yes! We want to know!"
"From what I saw, you're having a boy. A strong and healthy baby boy."
Tears flooded her eyes. She couldn't believe what she was hearing. It seemed good to be true after everything they had gone through. They were having a boy, "I don't care if it's a girl, a boy, a gnome, or even a centaur. I'm just happy everything is okay..."
The doctor told her to eat more than she usually would and make sure to rest and avoid stress before sending them home with a printout of their baby to share with everyone.
