My Wish

Forty-One

Ron groaned as soon as he woke up. His arm was sore and his stitches were itchy. He supposed the only upside was waking up in his own bed inside of some hospital bed.

Ron felt Andy's knee pressed into his thigh. He blinked a few times, trying to will his headache away. "Bloody hell," Ron muttered. Andy looked over at him. "Good morning, sleeping beauty," She joked. Ron pushed himself onto his elbow, already annoyed with the sling after one day.

"What are you doing?" He asked, noticing the books and paper spread over the bed. "Lesson plans. I'm trying to get them done before I'm too pregnant," Andy motioned to the nightstand. "Take your potions," She ordered.

Ron chuckled as he reached for the potions bedside their bed. "Can I wake up first?" He joked, reaching for the potions. Ron quickly downed them, making a sour face. Ron collapsed back onto the bed, stretching his legs out.

"Breakfast!" Lyra called. Ron looked towards the door to see Lyra balancing a tray her in hands. "Careful you'll drop it!" Leo snapped. Lyra rolled her eyes as she walked over to the bed.

Ron's eyes scanned over the tray containing a fruit cup, a tub of yogurt, three granola bars, and two mugs. "The best breakfast ever," Ron told them as he carefully grabbed the tray with one hand.

Ron set it on his lap and Andy looked over her shoulder. Her eyes felt on the mug. "Did you make coffee?" Andy asked. Leo shook his head. "We didn't know how. It's chocolate milk," He stated.

Andy shrugged as she took one of the mugs off the tray and turned back towards her work. Ron grabbed one of the granola bars and ripped it open.

"Thank you guys so much!" Ron said. Lyra leaned up and pressed a kiss to Ron's cheek before running out of the room, Leo following after her.

"Okay so Monday through Wednesday, I'll have class," Andy explained. Ron gave a short nod. "And on Wednesday's I'll take the baby with me so you can go to work Wednesday through Friday without a baby," She explained. Ron nodded in agreement. It sounded like a solid plan. He noticed Andy watched him carefully.

"What?" Ron asked smiling. Andy shrugged as she faced forward. Ron pushed himself up so he was leaning against the headboard. He winced with each movement. Andy's head turned towards him when she heard the sounds.

"Ron," She scolded, moving to grab a pillow behind her and placing it behind him while trying to help him get situated. "Relax. I'm not broken, Ands, just banged up," Ron told her. Andy glared at him causing Ron to chuckle. Ron grabbed her hand. "I'm okay, alright? I've seen much worse,"

Andy's face softened. She knew he had. She had seen him worse but she wasn't hopelessly in love with him or the mother of his children then. Then, they were just stupid kids who hated each other because of the families they were born into. Far more was at stake now.

There was a knock on their open door and they both looked up to see George. "Kids let me in," He muttered. He was holding a tin in his hand. "Mum wanted me to drop this off and give you some pointed lecture about not getting yourself killed, but I don't feel like wasting my breath so have some cookies," George said with a smile.

Andy rolled her eyes. "Why hello to you too, George," She laughed. George smiled. "Sup, Malfoy," Andy had to admit, she was growing a bit fond of George. He was like the older brother she never wanted. George walked over and set the tin of cookies on the nightstand.

"Can the twins come over for the day? Angelina is getting on me about 'learning responsibility before the baby comes'," George rolled his eyes. "I'm not responsible, that's why there's a baby on the way in the first place," He joked. Andy chuckled as she nodded. "Yeah, just bring them back before dinner please," Andy told him. George held a thumbs up as he walked towards the door.
