Enemies Working Together

16

That night when Ron gets back from Harry's, Cassiopeia is sitting in the living room, staring at the packet that the healer gave her so she knows what she has to do to keep the baby healthy. Cassiopeia looks up and smiles at Ron as he comes in and flops down onto the couch beside her and she puts the packet on the table and curls up in Ron's lap.

"Guess who came over to Harry's today?" Ron says, looking down at Cassiopeia.

"Who?"

"George and Fred. George said he wanted to talk to you about the whole bond thing, which led Harry and Hermione to actually find out about the bond." Ron had just said that he fell in love with Cassiopeia, which he did, but never mentioned the bond because he wasn't sure how they would react.

"Oh? How did that go?"

"Alright. Hermione scolded me for not telling them and she said she hopes we are happy together."

"That's good, how is Fred and Hermione's relationship?" Cassiopeia asks, thinking her husband knew about it.

"Their what?!?!?"

"You honestly didn't figure it out? They both disappeared at your mum's dinner last week and Hermione came back with a hickey and Fred with his shirt buttons in the wrong holes." Ron stares at his wife in shock.

"How the hell did you notice that but I didn't? He's my brother and she's my best friend."

"I am just used to observing people so it seemed obvious to me."

"Fair enough. How was wedding planning with my mum?"

"We only did planning for an hour before we got distracted."

"Distracted by what? Please tell me it wasn't my baby pictures." Ron groans.

"No, although the next time, I go over, I am asking to see them. We got distracted with the fact that I am pregnant." Cassiopeia says, watching Ron's expression.

"Yeah that would- wait did you just say that you are pregnant?" Ron's eyes were wide with shock.

"Yes I did, love. Your mum is the one who figured it out. Makes sense since she has 7 kids, so the signs of pregnancy are obvious to her. I-" Cassiopeia gets cut off by Ron kissing her. Cassiopeia melts into the kiss. Ron pulls away with a bright smile.

"We're going to be parents." Ron says, as he places his hand on her stomach.

"Sorry, love. Not far enough along that you will feel anything." Ron just smiles and kisses her again. Their wedding a month later was a georgous one in the backyard of the Burrow. Cassiopeia wore a beautiful white dress with lace like patterns on the bodice with sleeves that went down to her wrist. Muriel allowed Cassiopeia to wear the tiara that Fleur wore at her wedding. McGonagall smiled as she watched the two get married. Ron and Cassiopeia could not stop smiling the entire time and during the speeches part of the reception, Ron announced that Cassiopeia was pregnant, leaving the Weasley family excited to meet the newest addition to their family.

Cassiopeia and Ron went to Italy for their honeymoon and spent the two weeks, wandering the streets of Milan, Rome, and Venice happily. When they got back, they started to look for a place that they can raise their family and found one a month before their first child was born.

On the early morning of May 20th 1999, Cassiopeia went into labour. Ron felt a sharp pain with every contraction but it was nothing compared to what Cassiopeia was feeling. She is sure that she broke his hand as she held it and pushed their child out into the world.

With a final push and a small cry, Samantha Molly Weasley was born at 9:02 am on May 20th, 1999. The Weasleys hurried to St. Mungo's when they heard that the newest addition to the family had been born. Samantha was passed around and everyone couldn't help but notice the red hair on her head, which made Cassiopeia smile tiredly, leaning against her husband who pressed a kiss to the top of her head and wrapped an arm around her. Fred hands Samantha back to her mum, who presses a soft kiss to the top of her head.

Ron and Cassiopeia agreed that Nymphadora would be godmother for the way she made sure Cassiopeia stayed alive during the war and they named Fred godfather because he was the only one of the siblings who didn't make a fuss about the bond, just supported Ron and Cassiopeia. Cassiopeia agreed that the next child they have will have Harry and Hermione as godparents.

Fred and Hermione's relationship came to light and Ron told the couple how Cassiopeia guessed it and they both blushed furiously when Cassiopeia winked at them. Hermione asked Cassiopeia to be one of her bridesmaids, which Cassiopeia gladly accepted and her and Hermione were very good friends. Ginny still doesn't trust Cassiopeia and Harry is polite to her but like Ginny, doesn't completely trust Cassiopeia.

As for her family, she speaks to her mother occainsaly and Naracissia even met her granddaughter but the relationship is strained. The relationship with her father is non-existing, he like Naracissia met Samantha once but refuses to acknowledge her as his granddaughter. Draco and Cassiopeia at first had a strained relationship but after he started dating Astoria Greengrass, despite her views on muggles and muggle-borns not being what their parents wanted, Cassiopeia started seeing her brother more often. Ron and Draco even became friends, which pleased Cassiopeia greatly because she loves her brother and her husband and would prefer to not have to choose.
