The Other Weasley. [1]

Chapter Twenty-Four

Fred's P.O.V

We had not long since gotten to Grimmauld Place for the summer and Abby settled right in, looks like it'll be permanent for her, living with Sirius.

So I guess when the baby is born I'll live here too, not that I minded, it was all clean now and even though Sirius' mothers portrait is noisy, she wasn't too bad with Abby.

Apparently she isn't a blood traitor even though she was sorted into Gryffindor, all because her dad was Regulus and her mother was a pure blood too.

Walburga Black seemed to like having Abby around, even pregnant, a pure blooded child she had said the first week here.

Currently Me, Abby and Sirius were decorating a spare room for the babies room, we had painted it gender neutral colours and the furniture was pine wood.

Currently we have a wardrobe, changing station, a drawer with single separate drawers for changing essentials and then in the centre sat a gorgeous bassinet, which was apparently Abby's when she was born, it was a circle bassinet with a canopy draped around it.

Downstairs we had a Moses basket too, mine and Abby's room was next door and we are decorating that next

"So when are you two going to tie the knot" Abby pushes him playfully "not quite yet Sirius" he laughed and continued to paint.

Abby's P.O.V

Finishing off I stretched "well this little devil is putting strain on mumma's back" Fred helped me sit down in the rocking chair "I love that you both decided to live here with the baby" I smile at Sirius "I told you I'd move in with you Sirius"

He nodded and finished off the wall before taking the paint and brushes out of the room "I love you Abby" I smile up at Fred "I love you to Freddie" he grins.

"Our baby is going to be so loved" I rubbed my stomach "I wonder if it's a girl or boy" Fred sat down "I think girl" I raise an eyebrow "you do?" He nods "I do" I smile "it'd be nice, a little girl with ginger hair.."

"And you're bright blue eyes" I smile brighter.

"LUNCH!" Fred helped me out of the chair and down the stairs into the kitchen "smells good Molly" we sat down before the others came and sat down around us.

Me, Molly and Arthur had come to the agreement that I'd start calling them by there first name before the baby is born to stop confusion when it gets older as they'd be grandparents.

"I've made stew with plenty of protein packed vegetables in it and dumplings" I smile "sounds absolutely delicious" she placed a bowl in front of me and Fred placed some toast on a plate beside it.

I was the only one who liked dipping toast in my stew, as I began to eat the others filed in "how's my niece doing?" Asked Ginny and I laughed shaking my head "Ginny we don't know if it'll be a boy or girl"

She sighed "I wished you had found out" I laugh and continue eating "I think it'll be a boy" announced Ron.

I roll my eyes and finish of my stew "that was absolutely lovely" Molly smiled warmly as she took my bowl, I began sipping my cup of tea nursing it between my hands.

How lovely, our baby would be brought into such a loving family even if it wasn't the best of times with Voldemorts return, luckily I had, had no intrusions into my mind, which was good.

There was a crack and then footsteps could be heard, Fred rose in his seat and Severus walked in "Abby still no intrusions?" I nod "good, but it is apparent he knows who you are and that he wants you on his side" Fred wrapped his arms around me and my hands instinctively rested on my bump.

"He knows nothing about the baby as of yet, so it'll be safe, he knows of you're involvement with Fred and is wanting him on his side too if it sways you to join then" I shake my head "no no no, I don't want to hear it"

Severus came closer "may I have a word with Abby, alone?" Everyone nodded but Fred "of course Fred you may come too" he nodded and we both followed him into the parlour.

Once inside with the door shut, Severus pulled me into a hug "you'll be safe, you, Fred, the baby and the rest of you're family, I won't allow harm to come to any of you" I nod against his chest.

Fred smiled softly watching us "but what happens if he manages to get a hold of one of us?" Severus shakes his head "I won't allow it, ever" I nod again and look up at him "thank you"

He smiles "for what?"

"For being there for me even though you didn't have to be" he nodded with a smile "our child is going to know you as Uncle Sev" he chuckled "I like that, it's got a great ring to it"

He lets me go and I walk over to Fred "you two were clearly made for each other and you Fred, you've grown up so much in these past six months" Fred nods with a proud smile.

"Everyone has said that to me, but with it coming from you're mouth makes me happier and believes that to be the truth" Sev nods "now I must be going, I'll be back at some point before the summer" we both nod and he apparates out of the house.

"Turns out he isn't the cruel man we once knew" I nod and Fred kisses my head lovingly "I know, shame he'll only show it to us"

Sitting down I laid my head against Fred "i just want our little one here now" he chuckled and nodded "me too"

Fred's P.O.V

After a few minutes the room went quiet, looking down Abby had fallen asleep laid against me, bless her all tired out from the little wriggler inside her tummy.
