George Weasley // Stuck with me

14. A Child... NO!

"Soooo..... You ready Fred?"

"Shut up Ronald does he look ready?"

Fred was nervous to say the least.  Pacing, He smiled and gave a thumbs up to Ron.  George was laughing and Hermione was scolding her boyfriend as usual.  

"You're gonna be just fine Freddie.  Look, all the matches you've seen so far are compatible right?  So you'll be just fine.  Whoever you end up with I am sure it's going to be incredible just like you.  So stop being nervous.  You are a well known popular guy because of your pranks during school and Weasley Wizard Wheezes.  If anything I think you should be the opposite of nervous Fred.  The girls will be nervous to be matched with THE Fred Weasley."

McKenna smiled satisfied with her pep talk.  Fred chuckled and thanked her before making his exit.

"Well I guess the third wheeling ends now... Rest in peace Fred's bachelor life."  

Fred jokingly sniffled as he backed out the door.  

"Well guys we have that stupid family class soon.  Let's go."

Nods and mumbles of agreement circled the room as everyone filed out. 

"Welcome Class!  Everyone in!  It's the first day of your big projects.  Everyone seated?  Good.  Now the way grading works at the end of the project is your pseudo-child will reach 5 years old.  Once it hits midnight on their fifth birthday they fall asleep.  The next day in class you will bring them in.  To grade you I take them and turn them into potion.  Depending on the color tells me how well you did.  Nutrition, sleep, and emotional health all affect your project.  You are taking care of a human being, however, this version doesn't come with the consequence when making mistakes with a person's life.  It's a trial run of sorts to prepare you for having your own children and increasing the success rate for raising wonderful kids.  For the rest of the class we will be equipping you and going over everything you need for the project."

"Okay George, we have a diaper bag, bottles, we get to go pick out clothes later, wait did we grab bibs?"

"...McKenna."

"Oh yeah! Here they are, I just shoved them to the bottom of the bag.  They said we could use formula?"

"McKenna..."

"Oh! Also we need to ask your mom if she could stop at the muggle drug store for me.  There's a couple things that I want."

"McKenna!"

"Huh?"

"Are you sure you're okay?  They said that it's gonna simulate childbirth.. I mean that's supposed to be painful right? "

"Yeah George I'm gonna be fine.. its gonna be fine.  I can handle it.  Honestly fighting the dark lord makes a lot of other things seem insignificant.  Like childbirth I mean this one isn't even real so it can't be that bad right?"

"I- I don't know I just want you to be okay.  I already know you're going to be a great mother it's just I care about you... a lot.  I want to make sure we can do this and I don't know... be good parents?  I guess? "

McKenna blushed "No I.. I get it, your nervous about us children having children and you're gonna be a great dad too, by the way."

If McKenna was being honest she always wanted kids.  Wanted to spoil them, treat them the way she never got.  Teach them quidditch, take them for butterbeer on their birthdays, bring them to their grandparent's house on weekends, and everything that makes family, family.

"Treacle Tart Lady Siren!"  

"Welcome back, the rumor through the paintings is, there will be little additions to some of our dorms.  Is this correct?"

"Ah.. yeah.  We got some special projects in family class.  It's... gonna be a long term."

"Oh well I believe you will do just wonderful!  You already have that motherly instinct with your friends.  I've seen it myself."

McKenna flushed under the compliment.

"Thanks Lady S."

George dropped his bags on the floor before flopping on the couch.  McKenna smiled.  She took off her shoes before walking over and taking of his.  With two thuds the shoes fell to the floor and McKenna plopped onto George.  he wrapped his arms around her and cradled her stomach.

"We're gonna be parents."  

He whispered, breath tickling her neck.  McKenna giggled placing her hands over his.  

"Yeah... We're gonna be parents."

A/N- If you don't understand the vine reference in the title you are an infant....  Well here's the rocky start back into this story again.  If there's anything messed up like grammar or spelling let me know. I'll probably tweak somethings after I've published the chapter but it won't be anything huge.  Probably just word choices in certain spots so there isn't repeating phrases and stuff.  This is to get the ball rolling... now for the real writing fun ha ha! anyways have a great day and enjoy! - author
