Agape *Sequel to Bill and Fleur*

Life Changes In An Instant

I think this may just be the end for us.

The war has started. The fight. Bill just got an owl, and he's getting ready to head out. "Bill, I'm going with you. Everyone's there, and if we're going down, we're going down together." I can't imagine life without him, and that may be a very real thing in not too long. And I can't handle that.

"Baby, I know you don't want me to go without you. But you have to stay for the babies. Aysia will be over soon, and so will your mom and sister. I'll be back as soon as physically possible. I promise." I don't want to let him go. It's literally breaking my heart, but what can I do? His whole family is there. "I'll do anything I can to come back to you."

I know he's trying to be brief, and after kissing me on the forehead, he leaves. He said goodbye to the babies earlier. And the second he leaves, I lose it.

I'm still sobbing on the floor when Aysia gets here. "Oh baby. I know." I can't even utter words. Every time I open my mouth, a sob comes out. I feel Aysia crying into my hair as she holds me, and I know this is just as painful for her as it is for me.

"I can't live if I lose him. I've already lost so much." She knows why this is even harder on me.

"I know love. But this isn't your dad. And I know you miss him, but this won't end like that."

"I want to believe it but it's so hard. I don't know how to live without him. And if I lose him I'll have to raise the twins on my own." Suddenly I feel a warm bundle being pressed against me, and I see Aysia handing me a baby. Delia's bright green eyes are staring up at me, and I can't help but melt at her little face.

"See? You'll make do, no matter what happens. Those babies love and need you, and that's all that matters." She's not wrong. These two are my world. I know I'll find a way. If not for me, then for them.

It's been three days, and I haven't heard anything. My days have been filled with holding the babies, because that's the only thing that makes me feel even semi normal. "Fleur? Are you here love?" What is Molly doing here?

"I'm in the nursery." Her welcoming face comes through the door only a few seconds later, and I can't help but rush to her for a hug. "What happened? What are you doing here? Is everything okay?" I'm happy to see her, but I'm terrified to know why she's here. I know something bad must've happened.

"You haven't heard? Fleur, the war is over. We won!" I almost drop Adam in shock. "We had a few casualties, but we won sweetheart. Bill will be home soon. No more worrying about your safety, the babies safety, or anything else."

I'm just happy that everything is over and everyone's safe. After everything, it wasn't a definite. "Who all did we lose?" I don't want to hear the answer, but I know I need to. I just want to know that my loved ones are safe.

"It was mostly students, but Fleur, we lost Remus and Tonks." Tears well up in my eyes the second she tells me.

"What about Teddy?" Please be safe.

"We're his god parents, so Arthur and I will be raising him. At least we'll be able to know he's okay, and he'll be raised among people who are practically family. Tonks' parents are going to help as much as possible." I feel awful that Teddy lost his parents, but at least he'll be raised by good people.

"It's okay Fleur." I've been a mess for a while, so Bill coming home is the best thing for me. "Just focus on the good. I know we've lost some great people, but we also got Harry, Ron, and Hermione back. They're coming to meet the twins tomorrow. Just think about how great that is. I know this is hard, but we have to focus on the positive in this situation. I promise you that things are okay now. So get some rest, we have a big day tomorrow."

Now that the threat is gone, charms are being lifted. It's safe to travel, take the kids out for a walk, and everything else. We're having a big family picnic tomorrow, just like we did when I first met Bill's family. I'm so excited to have some normalcy after such a scary time. Just the idea of being with family warms my heart in a way I just can't explain. Knowing my kids aren't in danger anymore is even better. How can I not be happy?

Hey guys! I know I'm late, but for once, I have a good excuse. I spent most of my weekend in the hospital visiting my new baby cousin! How can I focus on writing when I'm holding a baby?

Anyway, I love you guys!
