Forever Isn't Real // Fred Weasley x Reader

Chapter ninety three - Tonk and Remus welcome the baby

Apparently it was a good thing Ginny was home for the holidays. Because Harry, Ron, and Hermione got dragged to Malfoy manor. So any hint of innocence we could pretend to have faded the second the other side realized Ron was officially with them. So it got a lot tighter at Muriel's. Ginny had settled on the couch. Making it easier on everyone. But it still was a lot more than crowded.

The other side of the new information coming out was Molly and Arthur limited the coming and going in the house. Making it for necessity only matters. Which was driving all of us incredibly insane.

"Celeste please stop jumping," I plead with the toddler as I try to keep my eyes closed. The closet I could get with two 20 month old children. She had climbed from her crib to jump on the bed as Fred and I slept. Immediately waking me up. Fred however continued to sleep through it. As Celeste continues I move reaching up to grab her. Setting her down on her father. She giggles then moves to jump on him. Landing right where she could do the most damage.

"Merlin's sake," He groans in pain as his eyes open, "why is she in the bed?"

"She climbed out again," I say turning my back to him. Celeste moves settling to lay in my arms. Resting her head on my chest. "Time to get rid of the cribs.

"Sure yeah let her get out more," he says, "she'll kill the chance to have any future siblings." I chuckle lightly as Celeste yawns. "What time is it?"

"8," I reply.

"So no reason to be up," He says, "fantastic." He starts to lay back down. However Caelum starts to cry. He groans getting up pulling the boy from the crib. Then he settles back in bed. Caelum lays on his dads chest quickly falling back to sleep. It's peaceful for a second. I could stay like this forever. But of course it couldn't be like that.

There's a loud knock on the door. I groan as Molly opens the door. Handing me a letter.

"Tonks is in labor," Molly reports, "Lupin wrote this morning. He needs you over." I sigh lightly. Moving to hand Celeste over to Fred who's still trying to get himself back to sleep. As I climb from the bed Molly looks at me sympathetically. "I'll make you coffee." I smile at her as she shuts the door behind her. I move over to the drawers pulling my clothing out at once. Fred groans lightly.

"How dare she go into labor this early-"

"She couldn't help it," I tell him, "it's not like she exactly could make that decision." He groans as I yank my pants on buttoning them at once. I toss aside the sleep shirt then grab a jumper. "I'll be back soon enough love."

"Please," He says, "I don't want to have you gone too long." He looks at me as he sits up. Caelum in his arms. I move to lean over and meet him in a kiss. I pull back and smile at him.

"I'll be back later love," I tell him, "don't wait up my love." He smiles. But Celeste babbling loudly and grabbing Fred's hair keeps his attention. I move grabbing my healer bag and slipping from the bedroom out towards the kitchen. Molly hands me a cup of coffee and a muffin. I take it eagerly. "You're a life saver."

"Anytime dear," she says brightly. I take a long drink as I open my healers kit to shove the potions I've been prepping into my bag. "Do you think Nyphadora is ready for all this?"

"As ready as she can be," I tell Molly.

"I've got a couple dishes made up for this- think you can take them for me?" Shee asks. I nod and reach over for the bag. "Be safe dear." I nod before slipping out from the house. I apparate to the meeting place. Where I see Lupin standing eagerly.

"Her contractions are 7 minutes apart," Lupin says, "her mums with her." He moves reaching over to take the healers back from me. "I've got that for you."
