« Chapter Three - Sharing the News »

Two updates in a row!? I'm on fireeeee!!!! I'm actually starting to get back into the flow of writing this again!

"Let's give them some space," my mum ushered the rest of the occupants out of the room, throwing me a reassuring look over her shoulder which Charlie most definitely didn't miss.

I led Charlie over to the sofa and plopped down, patting the spot beside me when I saw him hesitate, a look of worry etched across his perfect freckled face.

"Love?" Charlie called out softly as I attempted to gather the correct words, I glanced up at him to see his eyes fill with tears.

"Hey, hey, what's wrong," I panicked slightly, bringing my hands up to cup his cheeks, using my thumbs to wipe the tears away.

"Do you not want to get married? I knew it was too soon to ask! I pushed all this pressure on you and was suffocating you with the wedding planning and the-," I chuckled, making him stop in his rant, my smile making him waver slightly, his face contorting in confusion.

"Darling, I want nothing more than to marry you and I loved wedding planning, you didn't propose too early, I was ready to marry you long before you proposed," I hummed, attempting to reassure the big baby.

"Then what did you have to tell me?" He queried, making me drop my hands from his face back to my lap, him frowning at the loss of contact.

"What do you think about children?" I questioned quietly.

"Children?" He quipped and I nodded.

"Well, I love children and I'm warning you in advance, I'm a Weasley and I want as many little gremlins running around as I can get," this lifted a weight off of my shoulders, making me smile slightly, still refusing to look up at him, instead picking at my nails.

"Why do you ask, love?" He used his finger to lift my chin, causing me to look at him.

As soon as our eyes met, I was done for, I blurted it out in an instant, I was bad at keeping secrets from him and he knew it.

"I'm pregnant," he froze for a moment, mouth dropping open slightly as he gazed at me with wide eyes.

The reaction made the tears come flooding back, my eyes overflowing as I sniffed, rising from my seat and wiping away the tear tracks as they traveled down my cheeks.

I moved so I was facing away from Charlie, hugging myself. I was so lost in my thoughts that I didn't even notice Charlie rise with me until he wrapped his arms around me from behind.

The contact made me jump slightly but I turned to putty in his embrace, melting against him.

"Thank you," he whispered and I furrowed my brows in confusion.

"What for?" I questioned, sniffing once again.

"Continually making my life better, I love you so much and I love our baby just as much already," his words turned me into a mess as I turned around and hugged him tightly.

"We love you more," I whispered.

"We'll get through this, don't worry about a thing," he continued to whisper soothing things in my ear as we rocked slightly.

"Can I?" He requested, going red slightly as we pulled away, I nodded with a smile right away.

He got down onto his knees and placed a hand on either side of my stomach which didn't even have a bump yet. He placed feathery kisses through the fabric before grinning up at me, causing me to chuckle.

"Great, now I have two children to look after," I joked and he gasped dramatically.

"You said yes, you trapped yourself," he smirked and I rolled my eyes.

"Is it too late to see if Viktor Krum is still available?" I wondered aloud, watching my fiancé pout.

"Why must you always bring him up every time," he sulked, causing me to burst into laughter.

"Because you were so jealous of him and still are and it is adorable," I reached down and pinched his cheek as I spoke in a baby voice, causing him to sulk further.

"Troublesome witch," he muttered.

"As if you'd have me any other way," he hummed in agreement.

"You're going to be the death of me woman,"

"Oh but what a way to go,"

We laughed together, him rising from his knelt position, pulling me back into an embrace.

After a while of peaceful silence, simply enjoying each others company a loud earth shaking crash was heard then screaming, making us tense.

We pulled away, our eyes wide as our heads whipped in the direction of the opening door.

"Death eaters! Get out of here! All the Weasleys and everyone have apparated away already!" My mum shouted as she too apparated away once she saw Charlie grab his wand from his pocket.

He quickly wrapped his arm around my waist, apparating us away from what was meant to be our wedding but soon turned into a massacre. When I came back to my senses I realised where we were, stood in front of a two story cottage surrounded by trees, a little pond off to the left in front of it.

"I'll put up the wards, you go in and relax and I'll make us some dinner," he spoke soothingly and I nodded, my body was still slightly in shock but I walked into the home, controlling my breathing.

I had more than just myself to worry about.
