4 - Is It a Boy or a Girl?

Summary: Time for the gender reveal.

Warning/s: Mentions of a bet, being nauseous, mentions of throwing up 

My hand flew to my mouth as I walked into the kitchen to suppress the gag that was threatening to come out.

“Fred,” I groaned, “The tea is making me puke.”

He immediately ran and covered the tea pot to stop anymore of the scent to flow into the air.

“I’m sorry.” He said, smiling sheepishly, “I forgot that the smell of it makes you throw up.”

I offered him a small smile, taking a seat, “It’s okay Freddie. We’re all new to this.”

He soon sat down as he handed me a cup of coffee.

“Are you ready to find out the gender of the twins?” I asked him, taking a small sip.

His face immediately lighted up, “Of course I am! In fact, Ginny, George and I have a small bet.”

I raised a brow at him, “Oh really?”

He smiled, “Yeah, George and I bet it’s a boy. Ginny bets that it’s a girl.”

I laughed, “Count me in then. I’m betting it’s a girl.”

“So, it’s a tie then.”

We then got ready to head to our appointment at St. Mungo’s.

After getting dressed, I stared at my image in the mirror.

My stomach had surely grown over the last four months of my pregnancy.

“You alright princess?” Fred asked, hugging me from behind while resting his chin on my shoulder.

“Yeah, it’s just. I look fat.” I said.

Fred chuckled, “You’re not fat princess. You’re pregnant with our twins. Besides, even if you were fat, I’d still love you all the same.”

I giggled, “But, I still look like a whale.”

He laughed as he spun me around and kissed me, “A very sexy whale.”

I playfully smacked him on the shoulder, “Oh, enough of your shenanigans. Let’s go before we be late for our appointment.”

We then apparated to the hospital.

“So, what do you bet the gender is?” The healer asked us with a small smile.

“It’s most definitely a boy.” Fred said, settling into the seat

I shook my head with a small smile, “I really have this feeling that it’s a girl.”

The healer laughed at our small debate, “Let’s find out then, shall we?”

She went through the same process, applying some gel on my stomach, and running the transducer over it.

Fred and I kept our eyes glued to the screen as I felt Fred reached over and grabbed my hand.

“Well,” The healer said as she handed us the sonograms, “Looks like the both of you were right. It’s both a boy and a girl.”
