My dads dead... I sit there crying, and my uncle now wraps me in a hug, and I just continue sobbing, before the feeling of being sick happens again, so I move away from the hug.

"It's okay - it's okay." My uncle says rubbing my back.

"Its not -" I say sobbing, "my dads gone."

"We need to get the kids somewhere safe," Tonks says.

"Yeah, we need to get them all checked out and you as well." Uncle Remus says to her, before turning to me and comforting me again.

All I could do was keep sobbing, no matter how hard I tried to stop crying I couldn't, I could sense that most people around us were quite sad and that was Remus' best friend as well. We all get rushed back to the school, to the hospital wing, so Madam Pomfrey can take care of us all. As I lay on the hospital bed, all I could do was cry and cry.

I had cuts all over my face, from where shards of glass hit it, as I was too focused on my babies, as I would rather get hurt over them, with Uncle Remus checking on all of us, he walks back over to my bed as Madam Pomfrey tends to the worst ones first, and he sees me holding my stomach whilst I continue to sob with no noise coming out of my mouth, just the tears falling down my face.

"Your pregnant aren't you?" He asks me softly and I nod my head.

"I - I w-was g-g-going to tell him - after, but now his never going to know." I say sobbing harder, and he pulls me into a hug.

"Y/n, you shouldn't of been there tonight, what if something happened to you or the baby?" He whispers.

"I was thinking about loosing my dad and how I couldn't loose him, and that I wanted his grandbabies to meet him." I say sobbing.

"I know - wait did you say babies?" He asks and I nod.

"Can - someone g-get M-Melody please?" I ask him.

"Of course I can." I sit there for a couple of minutes crying to myself when I see Melody rushing down with her dressing gown wrapped around herself.

"Y/n, what were you thinking, you could of died?" She says, with concern plastered on her face. "None of us knew where you were, what about the babies?"

"I was th-thinking of my d-dad." I say sobbing.

"Wait - what happened to Sirius?" Melody asks me, and I can't even say anything and she turns to my uncle.

"Sirius is dead." He says rather bluntly and I sob even more, and Melody just pulls me into a tight hug.

"Oh y/n, I'm so sorry." Melody says as my uncle goes to check on the others.

Melody sits hugging me, until Madam Pomfrey comes to check on me and when she comes over she raises her eyebrows at me, before examining me.

"You seem to be completely fine, I am going to have to perform a scan on you to check on the twins." She tells me.

"Yeah, that's fine." I tell her and she checks on the babies and gives me a small smile.

"They are both fine, nothing to  worry about with them. And I see you now have a little baby bump forming." She tells me.

"Yeah." I say smiling down at the bump before Madam Pomfrey, goes to make sure the adults are okay - and Tonks was taken to St Mongo's.

"Well at least the babies are okay." I say softly to Melody. "But they will never know their grandad." I say with tears feeling up in my eyes.

"He will always be in your heart, and you can tell them all the stories that he told you about how he used to be and he will always be in your memory." She tells me softly.

"Yeah, he will." I say to her.

The last week was hard, I practically done nothing. With The Daily Prophet constantly reporting stuff and talk around school. I was done with it all, I just wanted to see Fred... him and George sent loads of treats up for us and anyone who knew about the babies didn't say a word. I wanted to tell Fred in person as soon as I could. I barely spoke to anyone, I just cried a lot. Harry and I had a little heart to heart talking about my dad, and that we now have each other. Gryffindor's points went back up as we all got fifty points each for what we done. The baby bump was slightly bigger and it was going to be pretty noticeable so I wore a flowy dress, when we got on the train.

Everything was rather emotional, leaving Hogwarts for the rest of our lives. This is were I met my best friends, the love of my life and made some of the best memories that I will never forget. The train journey home wasn't like our normal trips to and from Hogwarts - we were all pretty upset in one way or another and I guess this meant that adult life was now starting for all of us.  As I stepped off of the train I was quickly engulfed in a hug by Fred and I wrapped my arms around him and I felt tearful.

"I've missed you, so much." Fred tells me.

"I've missed you too." I say tearfully. "I have something to tell you when we get back."

"Okay, anything I should be worried about?" He asks pulling me to the side.

"Erm - I'm not sure." I say to him.

We walk over to the rest of the adults and George gives me a quick hug as well.

"Ron, Ginny!" Molly says, hurrying forward to hug the two of them tightly, then she sees Harry. "Oh - Harry dear - how are you?"

"Fine." Harry tells her, but I can tell he is lying.

"Where's y/n?" Molly say looking around.

"Where do you think?" George says, pointing to Fred and myself.

"Of course... Oh - y/n." She says pulling me into a hug, luckily enough the baby bump isn't big enough for her to notice as she squeezes me tightly as Fred and George talk to Ron. "How are you feeling?"

"Not the best, but I'm okay." I tell her pulling away from the hug and giving my fiancé a small smile. "I'm loving the suits boys." I tell them both, uncle Remus gives me a small smile before him Arthur, Mad-Eye and Tonks walking off.

"Right - I suppose we should head back after they've spoke to them." Molly tells us and our group of friends are standing there.

"Look at the two of them in their suits." Jack says, laughing lightly.

"Yeah, well, business is booming." George tells them all.

"So when are we all invited to the new place then?" Alicia asks.

"Once its finished, still got a bit of work to do yet, but as soon as we can we will have a little house warming party." Fred says, holding my hand tightly.

"Right come on you lot." Molly says to us.

"I guess we better get going." I say to the group, before pulling each of them into short hugs. "See you all later." I say to them and they call after us saying bye.

We arrive back at the Burrow and I sit my trunk and Everest down, before sitting down exhaustedly.

"Come on, you." Fred tells me.

"Where are we going?" I ask looking at him, he clearly quickly changed into some shorts and a t-shirt and he had a picnic basket and blanket in his hands.

"Just for a little date just us." He says, giving me a small smile.

"Be safe you two." Molly calls as we leave.

We only walk five minutes away from the Burrow and Fred lays the blanket down sitting the basket on the edge, giving us enough room to sit on it.

"I'm sorry about your dad." Fred tells me, as we sit down. "He was a good man and father to you..."

"Thank you, Freddie." I say tearfully.

"But on better news, the flat is getting work started on it next week, so we are right on schedule." Fred tells me, grabbing a bottle of wine out of the basket with two glasses.

"Oh - Fred, I can't have any," I begin to tell him.

"Why not?" He asks me and I take a deep breath.

"Fred, I'm pregnant." I tell him, and his eyes widen. "twelve weeks gone... and its twins."

"I'm sorry, pregnant - twins?" He says, spitting out the wine he was just sipping on.

"Er - yeah." I say tearfully, does he not want them or something?

"Wow! This is... amazing." He tells me giving me a massive smile.

"You think so?" I ask him.

"Well yeah, so twelve weeks, how long have you know?" He asks me.

"Just over five weeks, I wanted to tell you, but you know what Umbridge was like." I tell him.

"Who knows?" He asks and I feel terrible quite a few people do.

"Erm - Pomfrey and McGonagall..." I begin telling him. "Melody, Hermione figured it out and Remus and Lucinda, that was to get us out of Umbridge's office." I can see his slightly upset.

"But look at this." I tell him pulling the dress flat, where you can see the baby bump slightly.

"Our babies." Fred says cheerfully, placing two kisses on my belly, before placing a kiss on my lips.

"Wow, I'm going to be a dad..." Fred says, a little bit of shock hitting him.

"When should we start telling people? I think we should tell your parents soon." I tell him.

"Oh my Godric - what is my mum going to be like?" Fred says, with a look of fear coming onto his face.

"I don't know, but I am hungry." I tell him and we begin eating the food that Fred packed.

"So, twins? Do you think we can handle twins?" Fred asks me.

"Yeah, well they are most likely going to be like you and George - we're going to have to tell him soon as well..." I say to Fred.

"Yeah, so when are they meant to arrive?" Fred asks me.

"The babies? In December." I tell him.

"I can't wait to decorate their room - oh it will be amazing." Fred tells me and I can tell he is genuinely happy about the babies.

We sit catching up on different things that have happened such as Hogwarts, the joke shop, wedding planning - we are only just adults and we seem to have the lives of couples in their twenties.

"I suppose we should go in now." Fred says, looking at the sky that was slowly setting.

"Come on then, so are we telling the whole family then?" I ask him.

"Well, I suppose we should, we are still living here for another couple of weeks and you normally tell family earlier, right?" Fred asks, as we pack things away.

"I suppose so, I don't even know how your mum is going to react." I tell Fred.

"Well, we can provide for them, we are adults and we have our own place to live in. As much as I love my mum, she is probably going to have about a million opinions on this." He says pointing to my stomach.

"Oh well." I say as we walk back to the Burrow.

"I suppose, she'll be happy - she loves kids." Fred tells me.

"I wouldn't of guessed that." I say , laughing lightly, as Fred holds my hand as we walk back towards the Burrow. Walking back, we stay in a comfortable silence, just enjoying each others presence; which we haven't had for a while. Walking back into the Burrow - we see Molly, Arthur, Bill, George, Ron and Ginny sitting talking in separate conversations.

"Enjoy your little date?" George asks.

"Yeah, not seeing each other for two months, drove us both crazy." Fred says and we sit down in the living room with the rest of the Weasley clan. "So... we have something to tell you all..." Fred begins saying, catching to attention of his family.

"Yeah, what's up?" Bill asks as the rest of the family look between the two of us.

"Well, y/n is... pregnant." Fred tells his family and all sorts of noises were made but Molly stood out the most.

"Pregnant?" She asks, looking slightly shocked.

"It explains why she was being sick loads." Ron says.

"Yeah..." I begin saying.

"How far along are you? When are you due? Have you had all of the vitamins you need?" Molly begins asking a hundred and one questions, and the others fall silent.

"Twelve weeks, Madam Pomfrey said around Mid December and yes, she has made sure that the babies and I got what we needed." I say and everyone took a double glance unsure of what I just told them.

"Babies?" Ginny asks.

"Your telling me, I've got to live with two babies?" George asks, and I look to Molly who look shocked.

"Yes, there's two of them." Fred says, holding my hand.

"Two grandbabies?" Molly says, cheerfully, with a massive smile on her face, before coming over to us and pulling us into a hug. "Oh this is amazing - Arthur write to the Midwitch for me please."

"Of course, dear." Arthur says, standing up and goes to the kitchen and Molly begins answering loads of questions.

"Please let me do a baby shower." Molly says.

"Fine - you can do one Molly." I tell her and the biggest smile appears on her face.

"I'll get planning straight away, we can have it before the kids go back to school and I suppose I can't stop you two staying in the same bed anymore." Molly tells us.

As we go to bed that night, I lay in bed with Fred and he rests a hand on my stomach as we fall asleep. It wasn't long after that, that we began telling everyone else, we knew that Molly wouldn't be able to keep it a secret for too long. And she had the Midwitch coming round today, just for a general check up.

"Look at you - you are glowing." Molly tells me as I walk down the stairs with Fred.

"When's the Midwitch getting here?" I ask Molly.

"In about ten minutes, this was the earliest appointment I could get as I know Fred wanted to be here." Molly says, as I sit down and eat some breakfast a little quickly and drinking plenty of water that had the vitamin drops in there.

"Are you excited?" I ask Fred.

"Of course I am, that's our babies in there - I've started decorating the babies room, yellow and white. As I know you said you want their genders to be a surprise, and I was also thinking of adding a little theme to it, like nature and stars." Fred tells me as he fixes his tie.

"That sounds lovely - we need to go to Diagon Alley and start getting stuff for the both of them, like the cots and baby clothes as well." I say to him, we decided that we didn't want to know the babies genders until they were born, which I don't think Molly really liked the idea of.

"Fred, y/n! The Midwitch is here!" Molly says, disturbing us from our conversation.

"You ready?" I ask Fred and he nods his head excitedly, and holds my hand tightly as we walk into the living room where the Midwitch was setting all of her stuff up and Molly looked so happy.

"I was wondering if I-" Molly starts saying, before I interrupt her.

"Of course you can stay, Molly." I tell her, before I sit on the sofa.

"Hi, I'm Eloise and I'm going to be your Midwitch." She says, holding out her hand for me to shake then Fred's hand.

"Hi." Fred and I reply.

"So from what I've been told, you are around thirteen weeks and it's twins." Eloise says.

"Yeah." I reply.

"If you lay down on the sofa, I'll scan you. So we now use some machines to examine pregnancies - muggle's developed them, but they are more accurate." Eloise tells us and Molly looks a little sceptical about it as I lay comfortably on the sofa, with Fred holding my hand.

"So this gel is going to be a little cold." Eloise warns me as she squirts some gel onto my stomach and starts moving a device on top of it and she moves a screen in our direction and we look at the screen excitedly.

"Oh look at them." I hear Molly say, Fred looks at the screen with the biggest smile and I can see tears glisten in his eyes as well as mine.

"They are both in good health, and are growing at the correct size and you are almost at fourteen weeks rather than thirteen. Both of them have strong heartbeats." Eloise tells us and I smile at Fred who smiles back at me and we both look rather tearful he holds my hand tighter and we can hear Molly crying behind us.

"So I'll come back in two weeks, but if you have in trouble in between now and then, please write as soon as you can, but as everything looks good I should get going." Eloise tells us.

"Thank you." Molly tells her, showing her out the door and she lets Fred and myself have a moment together.

"They already look so big." Fred tells me.

"Yeah, this is all so exciting, I suppose you are off to work in a minute?" I ask him as he puts his suit jacket on.

"Yeah, I would love to spend time with you, but I can't let George do all the work by himself and mum can keep you company as well as Ron and Ginny." Fred tells me placing a kiss on my lips. "And I have the babies bedroom to get ready."

"I know you do, your mum also wants to work on some wedding planning." I tell Fred as George walks down the stairs yawning.

"Morning." He says walking down the last few stairs.

"Morning, George." Fred says cheerfully. "You ready, to get going?"

"Yeah, let me grab some toast." George says, before Fred turns to me.

"Right beautiful, I'll see you later." He says placing a kiss on lips, then placing two kisses on my stomach.

"Bye, boys!" Molly says to them before they walk out of the house, apparating to work and I sit in the kitchen with Molly, rubbing my baby bump.

"So I've started planning the baby shower." Molly tells me.

"When for?" I ask her.

"Mid-August, I'm going to send the invitations out soon as well." Molly tells me. "So how are you feeling?"

"I don't even know, I'm happy about the babies but I never got to tell - to tell my dad." I say to her and she looks at my sympathetically. "I just want them to know both sides of their family - but, obviously not." I say tearfully, I've always been emotional but the pregnancy hormones are getting the best of me.

"I know, dear... I wish there was something I could do for you and what I can do is look after you and these babies and that is what your dad would want." She says pulling me into a hug.

"Th- thank you M-Molly." I say tears pouring down my cheeks.

"We are having a little dinner with some of the order members tonight and I said to Fred to invite your friends as well... you need all of the support you can get. I also wrote to Charlie who said congratulations, and that he never thought Fred would be the first to get married or have kids." Molly says and I laugh lightly and Molly continues. "He also mentioned he is going to try and get some time off in September and in January so he can meet the babies."

"I do miss him... have you wrote to- " I begin stopping in my tracks, knowing that talking Percy was a hard subject for Molly.

"Oh - him, well I wrote to him about the wedding and the other day about the babies, no reply, I assume he is busy with work." Molly says disappointedly.

"So, Fred told me you had something to show me." I tell her.

"Oh yes - come with me." Molly says, leading me to the living room and rummaging through a box, and pulling out two miniature jumpers in yellow, both with a big W on the front that was in white.

"Oh - Molly they are adorable." I tell her.

"Aren't they just?" She says, putting them back in the box. "Oo, I almost forgot I brought some baby books for you - I know you like a bit of reading and I suppose it will come in useful for you."

"Thanks Molly, do you need help with anything?" I ask Molly.

"No, just rest, go and relax, I know how tiring pregnancy can be; so go and lay in bed for a bit." Molly says, and I take the books up with me, laying in Fred's bed.

I start reading the books, they are talking about rest being important, how it doesn't matter if you breastfeed or use formula, depending on your body and the baby it can be better to use one rather than the other. Once reading a couple of chapters, talking about sizes of babies from week to week and right now they are both around the size of a lemon, I put the book down and shut my eyes to have a little nap... well that's what I thought.

"Y/n... y/n." I hear someone say, shaking me lightly. "You need to get up now."

I open my eyes and see Ginny and Molly standing
