Chapter Sixty-Six: Best Friends

*Y/N's POV*

     The next two weeks seemed to go by in the blink of an eye. Fred and I had never been so content in life, well at least, on my end. It seemed that everything in life; every tear shed, all the time stolen was worth it. Fred was worth it. Shell Cottage was a wonderful little home to use for the majority of our honeymoon, time not spent there was spent on the beach or taking hikes in the surrounding mountains, and of course, going at it like breeding bunnies. Ever since our commitment to trying for a baby, Fred and I took advantage of every chance we got, and being on our honeymoon, that was about nearly every second of every day. Was it tiring? Obviously. Was it some of the most fun we had ever had in our lives? Obviously. 

   "Ugh," I groaned as we finished packing our things, "I didn't think I'd hate going back to the flat this much." 

   Fred chuckled, "What happened to never giving up the flat?" 

   "That was the first day we were here. Now that's it our last, I really do understand why Bill and Fleur are staying here." 

   "So dramatic. You'd get too antsy living here, there's no daily hustle and bustle." 

   I sighed, "You're right and I think everybody else would miss me too much."

   "And that cocky little attitude is exactly why I married you," Fred teased as he kissed the top of my head before grabbing my suitcase from the bed. 

   "Do you think Bill and Fleur would let us borrow it again?" I asked as we bounced down the stairs, "Maybe when they go out of town or something."

   "I don't see why not, of course, I'd probably have to pay him this time. This is their actual home, after all, not an inn," Fred laughed. 

   "Obviously," I rolled my eyes as I took my suitcase from him, "So straight home or the Burrow?" 

   "Burrow, I think Mum has a little family dinner planned for us." 

   "Already? We've only been gone two weeks and it's not like we can't visit constantly." 

   "You know her, likes to make everything a special occasion." 

   I grinned, "And that is why I prefer her over you," I winked, "Race you back!" Before Fred could even register what I said I disapparated from Shell Cottage, landing on the front lawn of the Burrow. 

   Fred landed a little unsteadily, "You always cheat!" he panted. 

   "I don't cheat," I giggled, "I'm just more clever." 

   Fred gave me a playful shove, "Keep telling yourself that." 

   "Frederick Gideon!" Molly's voice boomed from the front door, "I better never see you push your wife like that again!" 

   I chuckled as we picked up our bags and walked towards the house, "Nice to see you too, Molly," we exchanged a kiss on the cheek. 

   "You too, my dear," she grinned, "Wish I could say the same for you," she glared at Fred. 

   "Mum!" Fred sighed. 

   She let out a small smirk, "Oh, come here, my boy," she pulled Fred making his long legs bend at an awkward angle to meet her smaller stature, "Good trip?" she asked as we followed her into the Burrow. 

   "Amazing," I smiled as I set our bags down by the fireplace. 

   "Where is everybody?" Fred asked, "Awfully quiet," he helped me shed our coats. 

   "Hermione and Ginny are back at school, Angelina had training, and the boys are all at the shop. Lee, Ron, and Harry have been helping George a bit. Well, more Lee since Ron and Harry have also been trying to complete their Auror training," Molly explained.
