The Unexpected

CHAPTER FOURTEEN: MARRIED AND MUCH MORE

`Oh yes, children,´ interrupted Lady Abby, `I remember Ina telling me that she would like to marry a prince someday and have 8 children.´ Everybody laughed while Fred teasingly looked at his blushing wife. `I really hope that Fred could handle that--´

`No problem with me at all,´ said Fred, grinning, `6 more to go then!´ Everybody laughed. George raised his glass, followed by all the other people in the room and then wished the newly married couple healthy children and happy life together. `Cheers!´

`May I dance with my wife?´ asked Fred, offering his hand. Angelina smiled and then gently took it. Fred led her to the middle of the dance floor and then snapped his finger which made Angelina giggle and the light to dim. Fred placed his hand on her waist and then gently pulled her closer while his other hand held her left hand as her right hand rested on his shoulder. Fred snapped again and the song "I Do" started to play. They began swaying to the music. `Listen to this song.´

`I know this song Fred,´ said Angelina, `is it--´ but she was interrupted when Fred began singing softly into her ears.

`I do cherish you. For the rest of my life you don´t have to think twice. I will love you still. From the depths of my soul, it´s beyond my control. I´ve waited so long to say this to you. If you are asking do I love you this much, I do.´ Angelina smiled and then looked up to him.

`Waited so long to say what?´ said Angelina as she placed her arms around his neck.

`I do,´ said Fred, softly and then leaned down to kiss her. Once the song ended, the light was brighter once again, and then a dance song played. Everybody watched as Fred and Angelina danced exuberantly to the music, which made everybody laugh, while their parents just watched looking amazed, horrified and embarrassed. A few more dances later.....

`Mind if we steal your Angel for a little while?´ said Alicia, grinning and dragging Angelina towards the other girls. `Thanks!´ Fred just looked and then shrugged.

`So, why did you drag me here?´ asked Angelina, looking at all the other girls who were all grinning mischievously, including Hermione.

`Well, we `ave zumthing forr you,´ said Fleur, handing her a rectangular box.

`Go on,´ said Hermione, anxiously, `open it!´ Angelina looked at them all suspiciously and then opened it. She saw a very sexy lingerie and it made her jaw dropped.

`What is this?´ hissed Angelina, glancing at Fred who was talking with his mates. Fred smiled at her and then waved, which made her smile back.

`Something that you could wear tonight,´ said Hermione, looking very excited.

`Absolutely not,´ hissed Angelina. It was the very last thing that she would wear in front of Fred.

`What?´ asked Fleur, looking outraged. `Why?´

`Because--´ said Angelina, but was interrupted when George spoke.

`Alright, now we must say goodbye to the newly weds,´ said George, grinning, `since they will be leaving for their honeymoon!´ Everybody cheered and made teasing sounds, which made Fred and Angelina both blush and laugh. `Go on Fred! Take her away!´ Fred grinned, walked over to Angelina, and then gently took her hand. They both smiled at the people and then to each other.

`Lyn!Phil!´ said Fred, looking at his children who were with Draco, Harry and Blaise. `We are going! Come to papa!´ George looked at them as if they were dumb.

`You are taking them to your honeymoon?´ asked George with raised eyebrows.

`Well, yes!´ said Angelina. `My babies can´t sleep without me. Come baby! We are leaving---´

`They are not going,´ said Harry, lazily.

`What?!´ said Angelina, looking outraged. `Who do you--´

`They don´t want to go,´ said Draco, `they will be staying with us.´

`Lyn and Phil come to mama and papa,´ said Fred.

`We are not going,´ said Lynden and Phillip. `Bye bye!´ Fred and Angelina were about to object and speak when George dragged them both to the doors.

`Go on! Go on!´ said George. `Bye! Leave now, please? I don´t want them seeing anything--´ He winked.

`What?!´ said Fred, looking annoyed. `Shut the hell up, George--´

`Bye! You´ll see them in a week!´ said George and then winked. `In the mean time, enjoy--each other!´ ================================

HONEYMOON

`This is beautiful Fred,´ said Angelina once on board the very grand yacht. She went outside the room and then looked at the sea. `But I wish that we went here earlier. I like the sea in the morning. It´s black right now. I can´t see a thing.´

`We all shared the bill,´ said Fred, walking towards Angelina. `George, Ron, Bill, Charlie, Percy, Harry and I shared all the expenses.´ He sat down on the nearby chair and just watched her. A few seconds later, he grinned and then grabbed Angelina´s waist. `But since I am the one who just got married, I get to use it first---´ He started planting soft kisses on her neck while Angelina giggled softly. Fred slowly rose from his chair, lifted Angelina and then walked towards the bed.

`Fred,´ whispered Angelina.

`Hmm,´ said Fred softly while he gently laid Angelina on the bed.

`I love you.´ Fred smiled and then looked at her. He kissed her on her forehead.

`Well, I love you.´ Angelina began to giggle. Fred was about to kiss her once again when she gently pushed him away.

`What´s the matter,´ said Fred, frowning.

`I have to take a shower and take this dress off,´ said Angelina immediately and then jumped off the bed. She ran to the bathroom and then locked the door.

`What?!´ was all that Fred could say. He started to loosen his bow tie and then just dropped tiredly on the bed. `Don´t bother! I could take it off for you!´

`I´ll be out in just a few seconds,´ said Angelina from the bathroom. She started digging into her bag and then took off the gift that her sister-in-laws and friends gave her. She took out the lingerie and then examined it. `Should I wear it? Should I not wear it?´ she thought. After a few minutes, she came out wearing the pink lace lingerie, only to find Fred sleeping peacefully. She just sighed and then looked at Fred´s sitting and sleeping figure. She placed her long wavy hair on her right side and then slowly leaned forward to give him his goodnight kiss. But to her surprise, Fred began to hold her head with his two hands and then kissed her back.

`You are awake,´ said Angelina, in between their kisses.

`Well, you--´ said Fred and then grinned. `What are--?´ Angelina´ eyes widened in fear and then immediately rolled over to the other side of the bed and then hid under the blankets.

`They said that I should wear this and that you´d like it if I wear something like this tonight!´

`Is that what you were talking about awhile ago,´ said Fred, grinning and lifting the blankets. She nodded.

`You don´t like it.´

`Who told you? I happen to think that you look extremely beautiful in anything.´ Angelina began to smile.

`So, where were we, Mrs. Fred Weasley?´ whispered Fred, smiling, as he turned off the lights, and then slowly leaned closer to his wife. `I love you.´

`I love you.´ ==================================

DECEMBER [SIX MONTHS AFTER THE WEDDING...]

Angelina woke up only to find that she´s alone in bed. Lynden and Phillip already went to school and she heard the shower running in the bathroom. She began to smile from ear to ear and then jumped off the bed. She stormed into the bathroom only to find the silhouette of Fred dancing and singing.

`Good morning, Angel!´ She grinned and then opened the glass door. Fred looked shocked and then immediately closed it again.

`It´s cold Angel!´ said Fred, chuckling a little. But Angelina opened it again and then went in with him, playfully. Angelina grabbed the puffy body scrubber from Fred´s grip. She started hugging Fred and then began scrubbing his back and then his chest, while Fred just stood there, smiling but looking confused.

`Ah, Angelina,´ said Fred, smiling but a little hesitant, `what are you doing in the shower with me? I still have a meeting at 10:30. I can´t be late---´ He looked at, now, his partly wet wife.

`Can I join you?´ said Angelina, sweetly. `Please?´ Fred sighed. This is too hard for him to resist. `Make them wait? Or Make her wait? Be late? Be early?´ he thought, `We can do this tonight? Or now? George? Angelina? Magic Island? Weasley Wizard Wheezes? Angelina?´

`Please?´ she said again when she got no reply. `Can I join you? Please?´

`Angel, I can´t be late,´ said Fred, even thought it broke his heart to say this. `Tonight, okay?´ Angelina began to pout and then threw the scrubber on his face. She looked at him and then began stepping out of the shower, looking really disappointed. Fred watched as she began walking away from him. He couldn´t take it anymore...

`Oi Angelina! Where are you going?!´ said Fred, grinning at her. `Come back here!´ Angelina began to turn around and then smiled when he said that.

`YES!!!´ she said and then stepped in the shower with him, excitedly. `Can´t resist that, can you?´

`Angelina,´ said Fred, `Whatever did you do to me?´ They began to laugh as Fred immediately closed the glass door so that they could get on with their "business".

A FEW HOURS LATER.....

`So, that was nice wasn´t it?´ said Angelina, sitting on the bathroom sink while fixing Fred´s tie since she was now done buttoning Fred´s top. He laughed.

`Sure is,´ said Fred, wrapping his arms around her waist. `But you do know that I missed my meeting and--´ Angelina began unbuttoning his top again, playfully. Fred sighed and then buttoned it himself. `We can do this later again, okay? I promise.´

`Well, you can´t fire yourself, can you?´ she said.

`I´m talking about Weasley Wizard Wheezes,´ said Fred. `George will kill me.´

`You know he can´t,´ said Angelina, sweetly. `He loves you... but I love you more.´ Fred began to laugh again, but his tone changed.

`Did I do anything wrong?´

`What? Why?´

`You are acting a bit strange.´

`How strange?´

`It´s not that I don´t like it. Don´t take it the wrong way. It´s just that, you are a bit too sweet than normal?´ said Fred, looking unsure. `But I do like it, it´s just that---´

`Too sweet?´ said Angelina and then began brushing his hair away from his forehead. `So is showing my husband how much I love him a crime now?´ Fred just gave her a goofy grin. He was now sure, something is going on.===================================

CHRISTMAS EVE

Fred was walking as slowly and as quietly as possible. He promised Angelina and the children that he´ll be home for dinner, but he saw Nick LeGrandand his wife. Angelina would really understand but the problem is he didn´t call. He slowly opened the door and then winced upon hearing a long and squeaky noise. He gently closed it and then walked slowly towards the bed to kiss his children when the bathroom door suddenly opened.

`Where have you been?´ said Angelina, looking annoyed. `Do you know what time it is? If you are going to be late, will you at least tell me next time?´ She went back into the bathroom and then sat on her chair.

`I´m sorry,´ said Fred, looking at her in the mirror while she brushes her hair. `But I got your sushi?´ Angelina looked at him.

`I don´t want it anymore,´ said Angelina, `Place it in the fridge. Maybe I´ll just eat it tomorrow.´ Fred did as he was told and then came back a few minutes later.

`I saw LeGrand and his wife,´ said Fred, leaning on the doorframe with his arms crossed on his chest. `His wife seems nice. They said that they will be staying in France for quite awhile to fix something.´ Angelina just nodded.

`That´s why you were late?´

`Yes. I hope that you are not angry with me anymore.´ Angelina began to face him.

`I´m not angry with you. It´s just that you have no idea how worried I was. It´s 11:50. You told me that you´ll be home by 6:30.´ She turned her back once again and then continued brushing her hair.

`I´m sorry.´

`You should be.´

`Am I forgiven now?´

`Yes, just don´t do it again. I hate it when you do that.´ She began to frown when she saw the way Fred was looking at her. `Why are you looking at me like that?´

`Have I told you that you are the most beautiful lady that ever walked the face of the earth?´ Angelina rolled her eyes but giggled after.

`Fred, I am not angry with you,´ said Angelina, `No need for that...´

`I am serious,´ said Fred. He began to walk towards her and then started planting soft kisses on her neck and then down to her shoulders. `I just want to open my Christmas gift now.´

`Fred,´ she whispered, giggling a little, `We have to be at your parent´s house early tomorrow morning.´ Fred didn´t stop. He was now, slowly untying Angelina´s white long sleeved night dress.

`Well, then,´ said Fred in between his kisses, `we will be really quick.´

`Okay,´ said Angelina, now facing him. `So what now?´

`We would go to the next room and then wake up early so that when Lyn and Phil wakes up, they could see us. You know, like the usual,´ said Fred in between his kisses.

`Good plan,´ said Angelina. `Carry me, my prince?´

`Alright, my princess,´ said Fred and then he lifted Angelina off the chair and then walked towards the door of their bed room.

`Mama,´ said Lynden or Phillip. Their voice is pretty much the same. It´s so hard to tell which one is which. `Mama?´ Angelina and Fred began to dive onto the floor and then began making sleeping noises.

`Yes, baby?´ said Angelina and then made sleeping sounds once more.

`Are you sleeping?´

`Yes, baby.´

`Can I open my presents now?´

`No, baby.´

`Is papa here yet?´

`Yes,´ said Fred, `Papa´s here.´ Fred continued on making sleeping sounds.

`Are you sleeping papa?´

`Yes. Will you go back to sleep now?´

`Alright,´ said Lynden or Phillip. `Goodnight, Mama and Papa. I love you.´

`I love you, too,´ said Fred and Angelina. They waited for a few minutes before they rose from the floor and then slowly sneaked out of the room. Once out of the room...

`So,´ said Fred, `Shall we?´ and then he carried Angelina to the next bedroom once again. ===========================================

CHRISTMAS [MORNING...]

`Happy Christmas!´ greeted Fred as soon as he set foot at The Burrow. `Happy Christmas everybody!´ They all began greeting each other and then handing gifts to each other.

Everybody was there. Ron, Rachelle and the now pregnant Hermione; Bill and the now pregnant, Fleur; Percy, Charlie, George, Ginny, Harry, The Malfoy´s and The Zabini´s.Gift wrappers were everywhere. It was so noisy but it was definitely full of fun. A few minutes later...

`Breakfast is ready!´ said Narcissa, grinning. They all went into the enlarged and newly designed dining room of The Burrow, sat down, said grace and then ate.

`Angel,´ said Fred, he couldn´t help but notice the paleness of her lips. `Are you alright?´

`Yes, I´m fine,´ said Angelina. `I´m just a bit dizzy, I suppose.´ Fred began placing blueberry pancakes in her plate.

`You should eat,´ said Fred. `Maybe you are just hungry.´

`Yes, maybe,´ said Angelina while Harry and Draco just looked at each other and then grinned.

`So Fleur,´ said Narcissa, `I really hope that your pregnancy isn´t giving you a hard time.´

`Oh no,´ said Fleur, beaming. `I waz zcerd at firzt but itz nat tubad.´

`That´s good to hear, dear,´ said Molly. `First babies are usually the hardest, since you are still inexperienced. How about you Hermione?´

`Mione´s pregnant?´ asked Draco. `Way to go Ron!´

`I´m alright, Mum,´ said Hermione. `But the morning sickness is driving me nuts--´ they all laughed.

`Lucky you, Arthur,´ said David Zabini. `You already have three grandchildren and there are two more to go.´ He began to look sideways at his son, Blaise. `I wonder when I´ll be having my own--´ this comment made Blaise choke which made his whole face red. They all laughed.

`I´ve been talking to Draco about that matter as well,´ said Lucius. `I just can´t wait to see little children running to me and calling me, `Grandfather.´ Doesn´t that sound great? Grandfather Lucius. Grandfather Lucius. Father Draco. Daddy Draco. Papa---´

`Father,´ said Draco, looking flushed, `I´m only 20.´

`Me too,´ said Blaise, blushing.

`If you loved children so much,´ said Arthur, `how come you only have one child? You two were one of the richest and most prominent families of the Wizarding World. I was able to raise seven, what more you two?´

`Before Lucius and I got married, our goal was five, three boys and two girls. He wanted seven so that he could build his own team of Quidditch. But I am not strong enough,´ said Narcissa, sipping gracefully from her glass. `I had maybe five miscarriages before Draco. So, when Draco came we were both so happy. Whatever he asked, we´d do anything to give it to him.´

`Besides,´ said David, `the Dark Lord said that we are restricted to one child. He said that it would be easier to raise just one child to be more like him. We will be able to concentrate on just one. Our attention won´t be divided.´

`Do you still remember before, Draco?´ said Lucius. `David and I wanted Dracoand Blaise to go to Durmstrang. We told them that we wanted them there so that they´ll learn more about the Dark Arts, but frankly, we wanted them anywhere but near Harry Potter.´ Harry looked shock.

`But Regina [Zabini] and I wanted Draco and Blaiseto be near Harry Potter,´ said Narcissa. `He defeated the Dark Lord and he was really young then. What more now that he´s in Hogwarts.´

`But that´s all the past,´ said Regina. `I know that Dracoand Blaise will give us a lot of grandchildren.´

`I know that it is going to be hard, but I want to beat Arthur Weasley´sgrandchildren count--´ said David, patting his son´s back. `You should really start now, boy.´ This made Blaise swallow hard and then looked at his parents in horror. Draco snorted.

`I don´t want to give you a hard time, Draco,´ said Lucius, looking at his son. `Just give me a minimum of twelve--´ Draco spit all the juice out of his mouth.

`What the bloody hell do you want me to do with my wife? Kill her?!´ said Draco, looking outraged. `Why are you so obsessed with grandchildren--´

Fred was laughing his head off when he saw Angelina massage her temples. `Are you alright?´ he asked. Angelina looked at her, breathing deeply.

`Fred, I think I´m going to be sick,´ said Angelina and then immediately went to the bathroom. This caught everybody´s attention.

`What is wrong?´ asked Harry.

`I don´t even know,´ said Fred and then Angelina made strange noises. She was throwing up. `Excuse me.´ Fred followed her into the nearby bathroom.

`What is wrong with you?´ he said as he began rubbing her back.

`I´m fine.´

`I´m fine?! I´m fine?! I´m fine?!´

`Let´s go back in there, alright?´ said Angelina and then began walking towards the table, while Fred made this annoying hissing sounds.

`I´m fine?! You are there throwing up and you are fine?!´ he hissed, which caught everybody´s attention. He calmed down a little.

`Are you alright dear?´ asked Molly.

`She´s fine,´ said Fred, sarcastically. `She´s absolutely fine. She´s throwing up and she says she´s fine.´ Everybody looked at him. Angelina just looked at him, hiding her smile and laughter. `She´s there waking me up in the morning asking for sushi and she´s fine. I told her to stop eating sushi. She won´t listen to me. I think that that is why she´s throwing up.´ But then, something hit him. He looked at the Angelina who was biting her lip to keep herself from laughing.

`You ask for sushi in the middle of the night. You get sick in the morning. You have been constantly dizzy. You want your melons in balls,´ said Fred while thinking, `and you crave me.´ `Are you pregnant?´

`Looks like it to me,´ said Angelina. `That´s why I´m fine. It´s normal for me to get sick.´

`That´s what´s been going on!´ said Fred and then began to laugh. `I´m going to be a father once again! Happy Christmas everybody! My Angel is pregnant! Ron´s Mione is pregnant! Bill´s Sunshine is pregnant! Happy Christmas to us!´ ==============================

AUGUST [FOLLOWING YEAR...]

`Lynden and Phillip,´ said Angelina, `I´ll just go and get us some Ice Cream.´ She stood up and then walked towards the fridge in their bedroom.

`Mama,´ said Lynden. `You pissed on the couch?´ Angelina began to look alarmed.

`What?´ she said.

`You wet your dress mama,´ said Phillip. Angelina looked at her dress.

`My water broke!´ said Angelina. `My water broke!´ Fred began storming into their bedroom.

`What do I do? What do I do?´

`Bring me to a hospital, ofcourse!´ ======================================

ST. MUNGO´S HOSPITAL

`What is happening to you?´ asked Fred, holding Angelina´s hand. Angelina was biting her lower lip and breathing deeply.

`Contractions,´ said Angelina, once it was over. She began eating an ice cube and then smiled at Fred.

`Better?´

`Yes.´ A few minutes later, doctors and nurses came in to check on her.

`It´s time, Mrs. Weasley,´ said the doctor. `When I say push, you push.´ Angelina nodded while Fred swallowed hard. `Ready? PUSH!´ She pushed hard while holding Fred´s hand. Tears came down her face while doing this. She was biting her lower lip. Fred started to panic.

`PUSH!´ said the doctor once again. `You are doing great! PUSH!´Fred started to go hysterical.

`What the bloody hell do you think she´s doing?!´ shrieked Fred. He wanted to strangle them all. `Make the pain go away!´ The nurses looked at each other and they couldn´t help but smile. `Do something about pain!´

`PUSH!´ said the doctor once again. `PUSH!´

`She is pushing!´ said Fred. Angelina was sweating like mad. It hurts so much. `Angel, they said that it´s too late to apply the pain killer.´ He started wiping the sweat on her forehead, still holding her hand.

`Just a little more!´ said the doctor. `PUSH!´

`I´m--fine--Fred,´ said Angelina, breathing deeply. *Breath*Breath*

`Push!!!´ said the doctor. A few seconds later, `And here she is!´ Angelina dropped her back on the bed and then closed her eyes when she heard the loud cry of the baby. She smiled. Fred looked dumbfounded. He also felt really exhausted, since he did a lot of running around the house and hospital. `Here she is. It´s a healthy baby girl.´ The nurses handed her a baby wrapped in pink blankets.

`She´s beautiful,´ said Fred, `just like you.´

`Would you like to hold her?´

`Can I?´ Angelina handed him the baby. Fred looked scared but at the same time happy and contented. He took the baby gently and carefully into his arms. He couldn´t help but cry a little, and then smile and then cry again. The baby was so beautiful. He kissed her on the forehead and then touched her cheeks. `I love you.´

A few minute later, everybody came to check on Isabella Angelina J. Weasley, Ella for short. Bill and Fleur came with their two month old baby, Bernadette Frances; also, Ron and Hermione with Rachelle and their one month old baby, Rebecca Heart; and George with Lynden and Phillip. They were soon followed by the rest of the Weasley, Johnson, Malfoy and Zabini clan and their friends.
