Fool Me Once (Book One) - Fred Weasley

The Scan

'Princess wake up' Fred called me on the morning of the 27th of October. 'Come on princess' he said as he trailed slow kisses up and down my neck. 'You have to get up. We get to see the babies again today. Come on or we will be late' he said as he finally shook me lightly. 

'Okay Bear, Im up' I told him. 'What time is it?' I asked looking at the small clock on our bedside. 'Freddie the apointment isnt for another two hours' I groaned falling back onto my pillows. 'Yeah, but I wanted to bring you to that breakfast place that you like in the villiage, and then we could go for a walk down by the river, and then go to the doctors and then we could go see the house because I havent really had a good chance to have a look at it. Ive been in it twice' he said. 

Fred was excited. And if Im being totally honest, Fred, when he is excited is the cutest little thing. His eyes light up, his smile reaches his eyes and his nose crinkles in the most adorable way possible. That is basically the only reason that I agreed to get dressed two hours before I actually had to leave to go to the doctor. 

'Fine Freddie' I said as I leaned up to him and placed a small kiss on his lips, before climbing out my side of the bed. 'Merlin Im huge' I cried as I looked at myself in the bathroom mirror. 'Princess?' Fred called as he knocked on the bathroom door. 'Are you alright in there?' 

'Yeah Fred Im fine. Can you just get me a pair of your joggers and a big t-shirt?' I called out the door. I could hear Fred rummaging around in the dressers for some clothes to wear. 'Princess open the door' he called after a moment and handed me in my clothes. He had gotten me one of his oversized quiddich t-shirts, which just luckily said his last name and quiddich number and nothing about the actual sport, a pair of grey joggers, bra, underwear and fuzzy socks. 

'Thank you Freddie' I said after I came out of the bathroom a few minutes later fully dressed. 'Although I dont look nearly as sexy as you do in these grey joggers.' I told him with a chuckle. 'I think you look very sexy actually princess' he told me as he leaned down to kiss me again.

'Only you could find me sexy like this' I said as I grabbed my shoes to put them on. 'Ah, but Im the only one who gets to call you sexy princess. Your mine remember?' he said getting down onto his knees in front of me to tie my shoe laces. 'Merlin I feel so useless' I said as I flopped back onto the bed. 

'Useless?' Fred questioned standing up. 'Aaliyah Bella Wealsey, look at me' he ordered pulling me up and bending down in front of me to meet his eyes. 'Princess you are not useless' he said as I huffed. 'No, before you throw a tantrum, hear me out. You are creating not one but two lives in your fucking body right now. You are not useless Aaliyah. You never have been and you never will be. And just because you need me to help you out every now and then, does not mean that you are useless okay?' he said as he stood up and pulled me with him. 'Now. Breakfast' he said and he took my hand to lead me out of the bedroom. 

The worst thing about being in Hogwarts at the moment is that we had to walk all the way to the entrance gate and leave the school grounds before we could apparate. It wasnt a big deal to be honest, but it was rather annoying.

After breakfast and a walk along the river next to the village that me and Fred would call home, we made our way to the doctors office. My appointment was at twelve and we got there just before. Fred checked us in while I went to take a seat in the waiting room. 

'Aaliyah Weasley' the doctor called as she opened the door and smiled when she spotted myself and Fred in the corner. As she was walking us to her office she asked, 'And how are we feeling lately?' 

I looked up at her and smiled. 'All good to be honest. No sickness or anything with this pregnancy so thats good' I told her as I took a seat on the bed. 'I have been fairly tired but I think that thats normal enough for being as far along as I am' I said and she nodded. 

'Now shall we do the ultrasound and see how the two little ones are getting on?' she asked us and Fred was first to answer. 'Yes please' he said with a huge smile. 'Very well then' she said, standing up and walking over towards me on the bed. 

'Now if you just pull up that jumper of yours and down the joggers a bit we can get started' she said and then turned to Fred. 'If you go over the other side of the bed you will be able to see the babies on the screen' she told him as she pointed to the monitor in front of her. Fred practically ran to the other side of my bed and I let out a small chuckle. 

'You play a sport do you?' She questioned Fred as she put the gel on my belly. Fred froze unsure what he was supposed to say to the muggle doctor about quiddich but I quickly covered for him. 'He plays rugby.' She nodded and I continued. 'Hes the scrum half, and his twin brother is the fly half, they really are amazing' I said as Fred took his hand in mine as a silent thank you. 

'And now here are the babies' she said and Fred almost jumped with joy upon seeing them. 'They have gotten so big' I said in awe as the doctor smiled down at me. 'Well you are twenty five weeks now, so they would be alot bigger than the last time you were here. They seem perfectly healthy and are developing properly. And yes they are identical' she said mostly to herself as if she had a suspicion.

'Identical?' Fred asked. She nodded. 'Identical twins. They will look exactly the same' she told him. 

'I know what an identical twin is' he huffed. 'Im an identical twin' he told her. And his voice and facial expression caused me to let out yet another giggle. 

'Well now that we have that sorted' she said with a small smile. 'Would you like to know the genders yet?' she asked but I shook my head. 'Not yet' I said and then I looked at Fred. He looked at me and smiled. 

'Its up to you princess' he said leaning down to place a swift kiss on my forhead. 'Just maybe, could we get another apointment closer to the date and then find out?' I asked and the doctor nodded. 'You get cleaned up there, Ill print off the pictures and find a date for the next appointment' she said as she made her way over to her desk. 

'Ah let me' Fred said as he took the tissue paper out of my hand to clean the gel off my stomach. 'Such a gentleman' I teased as he pulled up my trowsers and down my jumper. 'I try' he joked leaning over to give me a peck on the lips before helping me down off the bed and letting me sit in the chair he had sat in when we first came in. 

'Now first, here are the photographs' she said handing an envelope to Fred who stuck it into his school bag with a small thank you. 'And second I can give you an appointment on the eighth of January, its a Monday if that suits' I nodded my head. 'I might have to take an extra day of for Christmas' I said to Fred. 'We both will' he said with a smile. 

'And finally, will you be coming here to deliver the babies or will you be delivering it closer to the school. You said you two were attending a school in?' she questioned. 

'Scotland. And no we wont be coming here. The school nurse is able to deliver the babies because she used to work in a maternity ward in a hospital. It would just be too hard to go into labour up there and then try to get down to your office before the babies are ready to be born' I told her and she nodded. 'Now of thats everything, I will see you on the eighth of January' she said opening the door and both Fred and myself shook her hand on the way out. 

'Lets show you our home huh?' I asked Fred who nodded as we started the short walk from the doctors office to our home.
