That's when it all started...

Don't worry, we weren't attacked by deatheaters. We were attacked with questions. As soon as everyone had taken a seat, Charlie and I were  bombarded with every possible question about our relationship. We had to go over how we met. Then we were asked when we started dating, when we had our first kiss ... It seemed like there wasn't going to be an end to this interogation. Eventually we had all finished eating but people were still asking questions.

Now here is where the first problem arose, literally. I could feel the bile in the back of my throat. If I don't get to a bathroom soon, I'm going to throw up right here right now. My sickness has become less now that my first trimester is over but I still have to throw up sometimes, like now. I motioned to Fred and George and they immediatly understood. Bless those two! They created a diversion by pushing Ron's head down into his dessert. Ron was having another piece of pie which was now spread all over his face. I nodded my thanks to them and fled the room.

The bathroomdoor had only just fallen shut when I threw up. The nausea took over my body and prevented me from getting up again. Therefore I stayed seated next to the toilet. After a few minutes I could hear the bathroom door opening and Charlie coming in. He quickly closed the door behind him before coming to sit with me. He positioned himself behind me and rubbed circles on my back. After throwing up some more I felt better. I'm never really long sick, well that's a lie. I've had days that I would be sick for the entire night but today wasn't one of those. Thank goodness!

When we came back downstairs, Bill had arrived. He was cracking jokes with the twins and Ginny. Ron and Harry were playing Wizards Chess, while Hermione read a book. Molly, Arthur, Dad and Remus were talking with eachother and seemed to be quite serious. I wonder what they are upto... I'll find out another day. Charlie and I sat down on the loveseat closest to the fire. I sat on his lap with his arms around my waist, hands on my belly. I put my hands over his and turned my head to give him a sweet kiss.

After a while I remembered something, something important.
"Charlie?" I whispered so only he would hear. He whispered a "yes, love" back so I proceeded.
"Charlie, I've got a doctors appointment tomorrow. To check on the little one. I'd like you to come with."
"Of course I'll come with, what will we tell everyone. What's our cover?"
"We got to be at St. Mungo's by eight o'clock in the morning. If we just apparate from our bedroom and then afterwards apparate back in, no one'll know we left in the first place. Do you think that'll work?"
"Yeah, it'll be fine. Let's go to bed now then. You need to get enough rest." We got up and said our goodnights to our family.

The next morning we did as planned. We woke up bright and early got ready and dissaparated. I had put on one of Charlie's Weasley jumpers. I can't help it, his clothes are just so comfortable. Plus I haven't bought any pregnancy clothing as I'm not plannig on showing anyone my belly except for the twins, Charlie and my doctor.
We sat in the waiting room for a few minutes until a nurse told us we could go in. I took of the jumper as I sat in the chair so my belly was exposed. It had grown quite a bit. The doctor greeted us and then started moving his wand over my tummy letting the pictures show on the screen. Suddenly he stopped and turned the screen to us so we could have a clearer look. What he then said came a bit as a surprise.
"How are you feeling? It's already hard having one kid but with two boys growing in your uterus I can expect you to have a bit more trouble with the pregnancy." I gaped at him while Charlie paled. Two boys. He said two. As in dos, deux, twee, di, zwei, two kids.  There are two babies growing inside of me?

"Excuse me did you just say I'm having two kids, boys? I'm having twins?" I was freaking out. One kid is already hard enough to handle and we're getting two at once? Oh Merlin!
"Oh dear, I must have forgotten to tell you last time. I was called away then, wasn't I? Oh well, I did indeed say you are having twins, both boys." The doctor explained. Charlie was quietly murmering the word "twins" to himself. He always said he wanted to have multiple kids in the future. Now the future is getting close.
The doctor then went on explaining which prenatal vitamins I should be taking and that the babies were healthy. A whole lot of nodding later, Charlie and I left.

We popped up in our bedroom and sat down on the bed.
"Wow, I did not see that one coming. What  are you thinking, Char?" I looked at him and he smiled as he kneeled beside the bed. He pulled my jumper off and threw it on the floor.
"I was chocked at first, but now I see that I'm just getting twice as much to love." He kissed my belly and I felt something.
"I think they moved!" I whispershouted. I'm about fifteen weeks along now so it's normal for them to move but still. Charlie grinned and kissed my tummy again. I giggled and he chuckled.
"Since when do you giggle?"  He  asked me. I smiled at him before giggling again.
"Since our babies moved." He smiled at me and I pulled him up.
"Mommy needs kisses too." He grinned and kissed me on the lips. He still had one hand on my belly the other behind my neck. I let myself fall back as he climbed half over me. He kissed me again and removed my top. He left a trail of kisses from my lips to my stomach before there was an interruption as there always seems to be one when we're about to have some fun.

One knock on the door before it opened and Bill walked in.
"G'morning are you lazybums ever getting out of-" he finally lifted his gaze of the floor and took in the situation. I was still half naked, thank Merlin I'm wearing a bra, and my tummy was still exposed. His entrance has shocked me too much for me to morph my features.
"You're pregnant?" Bill asked, his voice laced with surprise. I just stood there opening and closing my mouth without uttering a word. I bet I look like a fish right now. Thank whatever wizard that I can't name right now that Charlie has his moments.

Charlie quickly stood up and closed the door while tossing me a shirt. I quickly put it on and then we turned back to Bill.
"I - I, yes, I am." I finally answered him. His shock turned into joy and pretty soon he was hugging Charlie and then me. What is it with Weasleys and hugging? Not complaining though, they're all very nice.
"How far along are you? Who knows about this? Do Mum and Dad know? Is it a boy or a girl?" He fired four questions at once. I'm glad he wasn't at dinner yesterday, how the hell are you supposed to get a word inbetween?
"I'm about fifteen weeks pregnant. Only you, Charlie, Fred, George and I know so please don't tell anyone just yet. They're boys." I answered him. Charlie had gone to stand next to me with his arm protectively draped around me. Bill seemed to be thinking it all over before finally asking a question and directing it to Charlie. I'm sick of always being the one to answer.
"Charles, you're having twins? Both boys?"
"Yes, two healthy boys are on their way." Charlie answered with a smile. Bill's face was priceless.  He gave a new definition to the word joy. He was so happy for us. We talked a bit longer until eventually we went downstairs to have breakfast.

Now Bill knows as well. It's a good thing this family reacts the way they do. They immediatly go into happy mode. I think my Dad will throw a fit when he finds out. Let's hope that day isn't any time soon.
