Fool Me Once (Book Two) - Fred Weasley

The Bedtime Story

TW. Drinking and drug abuse 

'So thats the last house?' Angelina questioned with a whine and I nodded laughing looking at the half asleep baby in my arms. 'Ange, come on, you definately have enough sweets to do you until Christmas. You can keep all of Edens and Ali' I called looking at the other girl who was walking behind us with my other daughter in her arms. 'You get to keep all of Elsies sweets' I told her and she nodded gratefully. 

'I better get these two straight to bed when we get back. I can do it-'

'But Fred we said we can help' Alicia cut me off while looping her arm through mine that wasnt holding Eden. 'I know, but you two enjoy the party, mingle with people. George invited some of his friends from the villiage and Riviera and Jamie are coming, and so is Katie and Brian. And obviously Lee, Charlie and Amelia will be there.

'Honestly girls, go in, get yourselves a drink, poor me a glass of whiskey and Ill put these two to bed and be down in twenty minutes. I want to get out of this costume anyway, the apron is kind of itchy. Not that I dont love it or apreciate the thought or anything. I just-'

'Fred breathe' Angelina laughed as she opened the front door of the house. 'Its fine. Ill have the whiskey ready dont worry. See you in the morning Nugget' she said as she placed a kiss on Edens head. 'You too. Night Ellie-Bellie' she cooed as she took Elsie from Alicia and put her in my other arm. 'We will see you both in the morning babies' Alicia called before taking Angelinas hand and leading teh way into the living room where the perty most likely was at the moment. 

I walked up the stairs looking at my two literal Mini Muffins in my arm. I made my way into their bedroom and gently placed Eden down in her crib so that I could change Elsie first. When I had Elsie changed I placed her in her crib, changed Eden and placed her back in her crib. 

'So what story do you want to hear tonight?' I asked the two girls as I sat down in order to make myself comfortable in the rocking chair. 'How about I tell you about this Easter huh?' I questioned. 'Your first Easter' I breathed as I sank back in the chair to begin telling the story.

'Freddie can you come in here for a minute' Aaliyah called as she was standing at the stove pouring boiling water into a pot' Fred walked in holding Elsie with a hige smile on his face. 

He walked over to Aaliyah, pulled her into a small kiss and whispered 'whats up princess?' Aaliyah laughed into the kiss before pulling away and taking her daughter out of Freds arms. 'I need you to go get changed now please' she said with a small glint in her eye that made the child in her arms giggle. 

'Do I really have to do this?' he asked her and she nodded. 'Please Freddie. Its for the girls. They really will love it' she pleaded and finally he gave in. With one final kiss for both his wife and his small daughter he stomped up the stairs in a small huff. 

'Georgie' Aaliyah shrieked as she made her way into the living room only to spot her brother in law holding her other small daughter. 'Liyah, looking gorgeous as always' he told her with a small hug and a kiss on her cheek. 'Where are the rest of your family?' she asked him and he shrugged.  'Our family' he corrected causing a small greatful laugh to tumble from Aaliyahs lips. 

'Ah that would be them' he decided when they heard a small pop sound from the hallway. Aaliyah placed Elsie back down into her Moses Basket before running into the hallway to meet the rest of her family. She ran to Ginny first and pulled her into the tightest hug she could muster. 

'Merlin Gin have I missed you' she said as tears pricked her eyes at seeing her sister in law. 'Ive missed you too Liyah' Ginny admitted pulling the older girl into yet another hug. 'But I have also really missed-'
