" oh look! It's Hedwig! " George opened the window and let the owl land on his finger. She was carrying a parcel.

" looks like Uncle Harry sent a present. " I told Angelica. She ignored me and continued playing with the Pygmy Puff, George and Fred had gotten her. She named it Lala. " Angie look! You got another present "

She continued ignoring me.

" so does that mean mummy can have it? " that's when she started screaming.

" NO MAMA MINE! " she shrieked crawling towards me. Fred picked her up and sat her on his shoulders. She started crying.

" I think someone's hungry " he told me. I nodded.

" yes I am. So when are we cutting into the cake? " George asked.

" we just had dinner! " Charlie exclaimed. " but I want a corner piece. "

" George can you get Angelica's bottle please " I asked. He groaned.

" I got it " Daphne told me. She stood up and walked out of the sitting room. Bill took Angelica from Fred and was now playing with her and the toy broom Fred had gotten her, to my detest.

" is 'er forehead okay? " Fleur asked staring at the stitches. She had ripped off the bandage.

" should be. Just got a boo-boo " I explained. She nodded as Daphne came back in the room with the bottle. " you didn't warm it with magic did you? That's breast milk and it can't be warmed with magic or a microwave "

" of course not. I know how to warm breast milk " she stated. She pulled up her sleeve and dropped a few drops of milk on her arm. Everyone was watching her. " okay "

She brought her arm up and licked off the milk. The boys and Tonks all started groaning. Fred picked up Angelica and took the bottle

" what did you just do? " Bill shrieked.

" i licked my arm, what? " Daphne asked.

" it's breast milk! " Fred exclaimed.

" so? "

" Daphne that is- that is juice squeezed from a person. " Tonks explained. Charlie took the bottle from Fred.

" what is the big deal? " he copied Daphne's movements causing everyone with the exception of Daphne, Fleur, Arthur and I squeal and squirm.

" AHH what did you just do? " Bill cried.

" okay can people stop drinking the breast milk? " Fred asked.

" you won't even taste it? " Daphne asked.

" no! " Fred cried, rocking Angelica. She was now slowly falling asleep.

" not even if you just pretend that it's milk? "

" not even if Haydens breast had a picture of a missing child on it " my face went red.

" what is going on? " Molly shrieked walking in.

" oh... I tasted Angelica's milk and Fred freaked out " Daphne explained.

" I did not freak out " Fred denies.

" why'd you freak out? " Molly immediately asks.

" because it's breast milk! It's completely gross " I looked up at him.

" my breast milk is gross? " I snapped. Charlie sat beside me and leaned back with his hands behind his head.

" this should be fun " he exclaimed.

" no Reggie there's nothing wrong with it I just- I just don't think breast milk is for adults " Fred stated handing Angelica to his mum.

" of course the packaging does appeal to grown ups " George said. I scowled at him. I turned back to Fred.

" Fred you are being silly! I've tried it! It's no big deal! Come on! Just taste it! " I held the bottle up to him but he took a step back.

" that would be no " he muttered.

" oh come on! Just try it! " we all urge him.

After about twenty minutes we gave up. I took Angelica from Molly and took her upstairs.

" want to take a nap with mum? " I asked. She tiredly nods. I smile and climbed in Fred's old bed.

She laid beside me, in between the wall and I. I wrapped my arm around her and held her close to me.

" sing " she whispers. I smiled.

" there are moments that the words don't reach... there is suffering too terrible to name... you hold your child as tight as you can... and push away the unimaginable. The moments when you're in so deep... it feels easier to just swim down... so they move uptown... and learn to live with the unimaginable. "

By the time I was done singing the song she was out cold. So was I.

" ANGELICA! DID YOU HIDE MUMMYS RING? " I shouted. Angelica came running in my room. " have you seen the ring daddy gave mummy? "

" aunt Daph " she told me before running out again. I groaned.

" what'd you do Daph? " I mumbled before chasing Angelica. She was sliding down the stairs on her stomach. At the bottom of the stairs was Daphne. " where's my ring? "

" I polished it for you. You're welcome by the way. " I scowled at her. " it's by the kitchen sink "

I walked past them towards the kitchen.

" mama see dada! " Angelica cried.

" not now sunshine. Mama has to go help Fred and George with something. Daphne is going to watch you "

" I WANT MAMA! " she cried. She started throwing a tantrum in Daphne's arms and wouldn't stop until I walked up to her and took her out of Daphne's arms.

" hey! You love Aunt Daphne. It'll only be for a little bit then mama is coming right back home. We can have cheesy for dinner " mac and cheese.

" CHEESY CHEESY CHEESY! " she squealed. I chuckled and kissed the top of her head.

" I love you darling " I whispered grabbing my wand off the chair. " I have to go. Now "

" come home soon please " Daphne begged. I nodded. " love you. "

" I love you too " I clutched my wand and disapparated.
