Today was the day that we'd be trusting George with one of the biggest secrets of our lives. How that would turn out? No idea.
But George was trustworthy. He'd been my best friend for over 3 years, and let's not forget the fact that he's dealt with Fred's shit for 18.
I was adamant that he would be the first we would be telling.
We arrived back at the house after my doctors appointment. I was smiling from ear to ear, and Fred copied my actions. It was obvious that his protective instincts had already kicked in, as he was following me all over the place as if I couldn't stay on my own two feet.
"Fred ." I laughed as I felt his arms wrap themselves around my waist, his hands reaching up to rest on my stomach under my shirt. "I'm washing the pots."
"Just use magic." He said as if it were obvious, taking me by the hand and spinning me around so that I was facing him.
I rolled my eyes, "Yes and that's how we become lazy."
He sighed, "when are we telling George?"
"About what?" I acted oblivious.
He sent me a look as if to say 'are you serious?'
"Our little bean."
I laughed, "it's up to you how you want to tell him. But I think it'll be fucking hilarious if we give him the stick I peed on."
"Y/N that's just gross." He scrunched up his face.
"It's covered by a lid, you dipshit." I laughed, "but he won't know that." I added cheekily.
Freds grin matched mine, as he pulled me into another hug. After a few moments I felt him gulp, "what's wrong?"
"Nothing. I'm fine." He insisted.
I rolled my eyes at his stubbornness, "Fred come on. What's really wrong? You can tell me anything remember."
"Nothing. It's just I'm a bit nervous that's all." He said timidly, scratching the back of his head.
"And you think I'm not?..... Freddie it's alright to be nervous. It's a big deal. But I guarantee that George will be the happiest out of everyone. Especially him being a soon to be godfather."
"You want him to be godfather?" Fred asked, a big smile on his face.
"What? Don't you?" I said, scrunching up my eyebrows, "who else would it be?"
"Well, what about your brother?" Fred wondered.
"Harry can be godfather for our next child."
"There's going to be another?" Fred replied cheekily.
"Well do you want another?" I ran my fingers through his hair.
"I want lots of little gingers running around." He joked, "but I wasn't on about Harry. Wouldn't you want Oliver to be godfather?"
"When was the last time I saw him?" I asked, frowning at the memories of the brother I hadn't seen in years. "And when was the last time he replied to one of my letters? I'll answer that for you- over a year!"
Noticing the touchy subject and the look on my face, Fred only nodded and quickly changed the subject.
"Well I guess we've got a future godfather to tell." He winked.
"Here goes nothing."
————————-
I'd tried to cook the best meal I could. One of George's favourites to be precise. He'd always eat the left over lasagna I'd make so it gave me a hint.
As if on cue, the ginger boy entered the kitchen after a long day at work by his self. But his face instantly lit up when he noticed what I was making, he was quick to join his brother at the table.
"Y/N? Have I ever told you how much I fucking love you?"
I laughed whilst Fred let out a "hey! Eyes off."
"Oh lay off Fred. We all know that she would have picked me over you if I'd been there first."
I rolled my eyes at the two's dramatics.
I took the lasagna out of the oven carefully, not failing to notice how Fred continued to watch my every move with a frown on his face.
This really would be a long pregnancy.
"And here we go! Dinner is served."
The boys were quick to dig into the meal, as I waited to fill my plate last. In all honesty, I didn't feel like eating much, I think that the nerves were getting to me.
I had gotten a copy of our baby photos in my pocket, a long with one of the tests I had recently taken the muggle way.
I wasn't going to bring it up right now, but I thought that if there was any way that George wouldn't be happy about the pregnancy, he can't be as arsey as he would be on an empty stomach.
"Gorgeous. As always Y/N." George complimented, taking his place to put in the dishwasher we had gotten installed. "Right. Early night I think. I'll leave you love birds to it." He winked.
Fred sent a pleading look my way as George began to leave the kitchen.
"Actually." I spoke up. "We were. Erm. We were wondering if we could speak to you for a minute."
George's smile disappeared off his face as he returned back to his seat at the table.
"You weren't... you weren't lying earlier when you said nothing was wrong, was you?" He panicked.
"No George. Everything fine." I reassured, my heart warming, noticing how much the boy cared for me, and treated me as his own sister.
"Then what's wrong? You aren't breaking up are you?" He panicked.
Fred laughed, "yeah like I'd let a girl like that go."
I smiled warmly at the brothers, "alright here goes nothing."
I pulled the test out of my pocket, handing it straight to George who looked at me in confusion. He raised an eyebrow, "what's This?"
I rolled my eyes, knowing for a fact that he wouldn't get it, whilst Fred slapped the back of his head.
I passed the photograph from my pocket towards Fred, who took a deep breath as he handed it over.
George didn't get it for a few minutes. I felt my heart pounding as I watched his blank face, the only trace of emotion being confusion.
But finally it hit him, and his eyes went wide in realisation, darting from me to Fred and back to me again.
"You?" He breathed, "you're, you're pregnant?"
We waited for a reaction, but after one minute of him sitting open mouthed, Fred was tackled into a hug, sending the twins on to the kitchen floor.
Fred laughed, feeling the same excitement as George as the two jumped up and down together. They looked like two teenage girls about to meet one direction.
I let them have their moment of excitement, a fond smile on my face as I felt the relief of George's support.
But then I was tackled into a hug of my own, my brother squeezed my tight, as he spoke aloud- "I'm gonna be an uncle!"
I laughed, "that you are George."
"Alright, alright. Watch how tight you're squeezing her. That's my child in there." Fred said, protectively coming over and removing George's arms from me, and replacing them with his own.
"Oh my god Fred! You're gonna be a dad!"
Fred laughed loudly, "I've only just found that out for myself mate."
"Do you think it will be a boy or a girl?" George's asked but answered his own question, "I think a little boy. Imagine that Freddie, a little one of you and me running around."
"It could be a chance of twins!" Fred said excitedly, "imagine that George! What if they're twin boys, just like me and you!"
I rolled me eyes as George cheered, "god help me. What have I gotten myself into."
"This is the best news I've ever heard!" George exclaimed, "who else knows?"
"Madam Pomfrey." I answered honestly, "I've known for a few weeks but I wanted you and Fred to be the first to know."
George pulled me into another hug, carefully this time as Fred shouted out in protest, "I can't wait." He whispered, "You're going to be the best mum Y/N. I'm proud of you.... my little sister."
"Thanks Georgie."
"Wait a minute. YOU PISSED ON THAT!"

One week later;
Since George had asked Lee to come over, I'd decided that during the movie night tonight, we would tell Lee the news.
It was either tell him now, or George will burst at keeping the secret for so long. So long being a week in George's opinion.
Lee arrived at the door, planting a kiss on George's cheek. I watched with a smile as a faint blush raised on the gingers cheeks, though he covered it by looking the other way.
"Lee Lee!" I yelled, jumping into his open arms as he laughed.
"Careful!" Fred shouted, though his face dropped as he realised what he had done. I shot Fred a look as Lee began to question him.
"Why does she have to be careful? She's alright now." He turned to me, "right?"
"I'm fine Lee. Great actually." He nodded but still had his brow raised as he walked up to the kitchen.
"Nice going buttkiss." I whispered to Fred, yet my scolding didn't work as a laugh escaped his mouth.
"Buttkiss?" He questioned, "what kind of insult is that?"
I only shook my head, following the other two boys up the stairs.
"So." Lee said as he relaxed into the armchair, he always had been one to make himself at home, but I wasn't complaining about that. I like our guests to feel comfortable, even if I can be a grumpy bastard who doesn't want to entertain at times.
Sorry- pregnancy hormones speaking there.
"So George." Lee asked, swinging his arm over his partners shoulders, "what is so important that you asked me here today?"
"Can't I just see my boyfriend?" George grinned, kissing the side of his face.
Lee folded his arms, "come on. There's something! I can tell by the grin on your face!"
"It's not my news to tell!" George defended, "as much as id like to tell you."
"Go ahead." Fred laughed, pulling me down to his on his lap in the arm chair.
"Yes!" George cheered, sitting up straighter in his seat. "You're going to be an uncle!"
"What?" Lee scoffed, "you got a cat!"
I laughed slightly at the boys confusion, gaining his attention back on me, "Lee."
Lee looked over and instantly his eyes flew to Freds hands resting on my stomach, rubbing small circles over my shirt.
Lee's eyes widened and mouth dropped, "you're not!"
I laughed. "Yeah. I'm afraid so."
"OH MY GOD! IM GONNA BE A MOTHERFUCKING UNCLE! UNCLE LEE! UNCLE LEE AND UNCLE GEORGE!"
He rushed over to me, falling on to his knees so that he was level with my stomach. He instantly shifted Fred's hands out of the way, resting his head on my stomach as if to hear the baby.
I shook my head, "Lee, you won't hear anything! And you won't feel anything yet. I'm only around 5 weeks along."
He pulled away a pout on his face, "when will it start kicking?"
"Not for a while yet Lee." I shook my head in amusement.
"Ok ok." Lee said his face still like a kids excitement on Christmas morning, "ok hear me out then. For a boy, Lee. And a girl. Erm. I know! LEETTA!"
George groaned, "no! George for a boy! Georgina for a girl!"
"Well I'll certainly put Freda on the table."
"Gosh I'm surrounded by idiots."
