« Chapter Two - The Wedding? »

I changed the first chapter up quite a bit so if you want to read that one again incase you don't understand this x

"What're you thinking about, love?" Charlie questioned as we lay in bed, tangled in each other's embrace, the wedding was mere days away but I couldn't shake the feeling that something bad was going to happen.

"Nothing important," I smiled, looking up at him through my eyelashes as he planted a kiss atop my forehead.

"They were assigning safe houses last night when you went to bed early, we're in charge of Moorewood Cottage," he spoke softly, careful not to disturb the peace and I hummed, letting him know I heard him.

"I miss the dragons and the team," I admitted and he held me a bit tighter.

"So do I but I'm sure they miss your cooking more," he grinned and I chuckled, snuggling into his chest.

"Merlin, I love you Charlie,"

"I love you more,"

I woke up some time during the night and had to sprint to the bathroom, puking my guts out, Charlie entering soon after to hold my hair back. I knew I shouldn't have ate that pie, it wasn't sitting right with me.

"Are you alright, love," he cooed, rubbing comforting circles on my back.

"Totally fine," I choked out before being sick once more.

"Do we need to postpone the wedding?" He questioned.

"No! I'll be fine, we still have another few days, I'll be over it by then,"

"Mum!!!!" I shrieked, trying to control my breathing as I paced the room, my bridesmaids attempting to calm me but ultimately failing.

I wore a white silky robe, the wedding was meant to be tonight but I felt half dead.

"Madison, what's wrong!?" Hermione questioned, gripping my arms, staring into my watering eyes.

I was saved as the door burst open, my mum rushing over and wrapping me in a hug without a word when she saw my face.

"Sweetheart, do you not want to marry Charlie?" This sent me into a sobbing match.

"No!- *hic*- I love Charlie! I want to marry him, I don't know why I'm crying!" I sobbed onto my mother's shoulder.

"Should we get Charlie?" Ginny suggested and Fleur immediately stood, ready to fetch my fiancé from her husband and his groomsmen.

"The maids of honour have arrived!- why're you crying?" Fred and George burst in, making me sob harder- I probably looked a mess.

"Well this is awkward," Fred whistled, turning to George, who nodded in agreement.

"Go get Charlie," Fleur rushed out of the room as the twins approached me, stealing me from my mum.

"What's wrong," they questioned as they led me to a chair and made me sit, crouching down on either side of me.

"I don't know, I haven't felt right in weeks," I sniffed, blowing my nose in the tissue Hermione handed me.

"Um, sweetheart, have you tried taking a pregnancy test?" My mum questioned hesitantly, causing me to still, the colour draining from my face.

"There's no way I'm- no, there must be another explanation," I insisted, watching as the occupants of the room glanced at each other. "Right?"

"I think you should do the spell anyway, just to be sure," Ginny suggested softly, why are they treating me like a piece of glass!?

"I could do it if you like?" Hermione smiled and I furrowed my brows for a moment, contemplating it. I mean, what harm could it do, it's not like it's going to come out positive. Right?

I nodded slowly, taking each of the twins hands, holding them tightly. I didn't want to admit it but I was utterly terrified.

Hermione grabbed her wand and pointed it at my belly, muttering the spell under her breath. There was an eerie silence in the room as we waited for the wand to glow, my mother moving to stand behind me, giving my shoulder a comforting squeeze.

"What does that mean? That's negative, right?" I questioned as the wand began to glow purple. Hermione took a sharp intake of breath and I knew right away.

"You're pregnant," she whispered, those two words causing me to shoot up, holding my head in my hands.

"Hey, hey, it's alright, you're alright, do you not want children?" Mum questioned as she took me by the shoulders.

"There's nothing I want more in this world than to have children with Charlie but it's the middle of a war mum! I'm part of the Order, do you know how much danger this baby is in just by me being his or her mum!? I have a target on my back,"

"We'll protect you, you know that," the twins brought me into a group hug and I melted against their warm, comforting embrace until I suddenly tensed.

"What about Charlie?" I whispered.

"What about Charlie?" Ginny questioned.

"What If he doesn't want children so soon?"

"Madison, I know my brother, he will be so excited that he'll burst into tears," she assured me and I nodded, smiling at the group.

"Thank you, I don't know what I'd do without you all," I sniffed.

"Love? Are you alright!" Charlie questioned as he slid into the room, followed by Fleur. Both of them were out of breath from sprinting the entire way here.

Fleur took her place next to Ginny and Hermione, who whispered the news to her, causing her eyes to widen, staring a me with a bright smile, giving me the thumbs up in encouragement.

"Charlie, I have to tell you something...,"

So, do you guys think the baby will be a girl or a boy? And do you guys have any name suggestions?
