Really, I'm Yours - Fremione One Shots

Broody

"Oh god I thought I liked Fred before but now I'm convinced I'm genuinely in love with him." Hermione said, face planted on the table.

"Fred? What's happened?" Ginny asked.

"Ughhggggggh" she said

"Words, Hermione. I need words!"

"Well I was babysitting and he was there and now I sort of want a kid with him." Said Hermione.

"Jesus, Hermione! That escalated!" Said Ginny. "Plus that's my brother."

"Sorry, I'm just...you know when a guy is really good with kids and it makes you..."

"Broody?" Asked Ginny.

"Yeah."

"What soft of friend would I be if I didn't ask for the entire story?" Ginny asked, rolling her eyes.

"So we were babysitting teddy at the burrow..."

Hermione's POV

"Wave bye bye to Harry." I said with Teddy balanced on my hip.

"Ba-ba." babbled Teddy."

"Hey my lil nugget." Fred said, taking Teddy from me. "Who's gonna give uncle Freddie the biggest cuddle in the world?" He asked, taking Teddy out of my arms and jiggling him.

At that moment, my heart absolutely melted.

"Fred, what are you doing here? I thought it was just me babysitting tonight."

"Oh I was just...around and I wanted to see my favourite little boy and..."

"They sent you to check up on me, didn't they?" I asked him.

"No, no. They think you're perfectly capable and...okay maybe they did ask me to keep an eye." He said, looking awkward.

"Look. I don't need babysitting too, Fred."

"I know that."

"Then why are you here?"

"I wanted to help. I love kids and it's practise for having loads of my own one day. Plus, we never spend any time together anymore and I miss you, truth be told."

I smirked at him slightly.

"Right, it's feeding time. I'll go make the formula." I said to him.

I went to make the formula. When I came back with the milk, Fred was laying on the sofa with Teddy on his chest.

"Come on then, baby." I said, picking him up and cradling him. I put the bottle in his mouth and he started feeding.

"He doesn't usually feed that quickly. You're a natural at this, y'know." He said. "Look, you've clearly got this covered. I can go if you want."

"No, you've not had much time with Teddy...or me. I'm sorry I've not been a great best friend recently. Especially after what you went through." I said. I felt so awful.

"Hey, don't apologise. We all went through a lot. And you...with Ron leaving and you being on your own all the time. I just wish you'd let me in. You need someone around." Fred said, putting his arm around me. He kissed me on the head which made my heart flutter.

"Woah you drank that fast." I said taking the bottle from Teddy. "Can you grab me the cloth? I've a feeling there's gonna be some spit up." I said to Fred.

"Uhhh sure, where's the um..." he asked.

"The bag's by the stairs."

Fred fetched the cloth and draped it over his shoulder, he took Teddy from me and patted him gently on the back. Something about him just looked so right, like he was made for this.
