Romance Prompt #23: âYou look cute with a baby bump!âÂ
For as long as you had been dating Charlie Weasley you had been going to the burrow for Christmas. It was a tradition of sorts, one that Molly insisted on continuing even with her children scattered all across the globe. For the past nine years you had traveled with Charlie from Romania all the way back to his childhood home every Christmas, and you had never been nervous about going save for the very first year you were invited. Not until now that is. Sure you had gone to the burrow plenty of times, but never once had you gone while you were sixteen weeks pregnant with your fianceâs baby, and never once had you gone with the knowledge that you would be telling his entire family the news of your pregnancy.Â
âCharlie, have you seen my dress? I laid it out on the end of the bed this morning before I showered and now I canât find it anywhere.â You called out, poking your head out of your bedroom so your fiance would be able to hear you from the kitchen where you could only assume he was trying to find something to eat for breakfast. You heard the sound of footsteps coming towards you and seconds later Charlie appeared in your line of sight, an apple in his hand and a bit of a smirk on his lips that let you know instantly that he knew exactly where your dress was. âThis isnât funny Charles, we have to leave in an hour and Iâm not dressed.â You glared at your fiance as he took a bite from his apple, casually leaning his shoulder against the wall as he chewed, making sure to swallow all of the food in his mouth before speaking. âI saw what it is you were planning on wearing to my mumâs, Love, and quite frankly I think I would rather you show up naked than in that thing.â You rolled your eyes at his dramatics and ran a hand through your wet hair, âI donât have a choice, Charlie.â You said impatiently, annoyed by his antics and stressed about the fact that you werenât anywhere near ready for this trip yet. You reached down to the belt on your bathrobe, your fingers beginning to work at the knot you had tied into it after you had gotten out of the shower a few minutes earlier. Once you finished untying your robe you allowed it to fall to the sides of you rather than cover the front of your body, revealing your burgeoning baby bump to him before you placed a hand on your hip. âHow am I supposed to cover this up if I donât wear dresses like that?â âYou arenât supposed to cover that up.â Was Charlieâs immediate response, and you watched as he set his apple down and further advanced toward you. The next thing you knew your fiance had your back against his chest as both of his hands slowly rubbed your rounded out stomach in a way that was so loving you almost forgot that he had hidden your dress from you and was about to make the both of you late. Almost. âCharlie please, just tell me where the dress is so I can finish getting ready and we can go.â You pleaded, hearing your lovers soft chuckle sound from above you, and even though you couldnât see him you could tell he was grinning, âBut you look so cute with a baby bump!â Charlie exclaimed, pouting as if he were a young child rather than a twenty six year old man, âI want to show off how beautiful you look to my whole family, and if you wear a dress like that itâll be impossible.â You sighed softly, turning around in Charlieâs arms and looking up into his eyes as you wrapped your arms around his midsection, âYou wanted to surprise them, didnât you dear?â You asked, using the pet name you knew he loved as you ran your hands along his back slowly, âIf I walk in wearing my everyday clothes that show this bump theyâll all know Iâm pregnant before we can say a word, the surprise would be ruined.â Charlieâs pout deepened but he nodded in agreement after a few moments, and in response you slowly pulled away from him, giving him your sweetest smile as you looked up to meet his eyes once again, âSo will you tell me where my dress is now?âÂ
You and Charlie arrived at his childhood home a few hours later, and as you carried your bags inside you found yourself in desperate need of a nap, a nap you were well aware you would not be able to take for several hours. Maybe he could see how tired you were simply by looking at your face, or maybe he just knew you were tired because it had been a rather annoying symptom of your pregnancy thus far, but almost immediately after you walked into the house Charlie was steering you away from his family member and up the stairs before you were too overwhelmed. Once the two of you reached his old bedroom and were able to place your bags down Charlie immediately cast a worried glance at you, making his way over to where you were sitting on his bed and kneeling in front of you, smiling sympathetically as he placed his hand on your knee. âI know you must be exhausted, Love, and Iâm going to do everything I can to keep things as underwhelming as possible down there, but we both know my mum is going to be worried sick if you take a nap now when youâve never done anything like that before.â You let out a deep sigh and nodded, smiling at your fiance gently before reaching your hands out so he could help you stand up. After that the two of you unpacked your things and relaxed in the peaceful silence of the room for a few minutes longer before heading downstairs together.Â
You adored your fiances family, you always had, they were funny and kind and always welcomed you with opened arms. But now that you were four months pregnant and exhausted you noticed something new about them you had never really noticed before. Your fiances family was terribly loud. It probably had something to do with the fact that every Weasley child grew up with so many other people in the house that speaking loud was the only way for anyone to hear them over the noise of everyone else, and you understood that, but if Ron shouted across the room to Harry one more time you were going to lose it. Currently you were sitting on the couch beside Charlie as everyone waited for dinner to be ready, and even though you knew you had a good reason not to be helping out you still felt bad that you werenât, especially since no one else but Charlie knew this good reason. You let out a deep sigh and leaned your head against your fiances chest, feeling the subtle rising and falling of it as he breathed in and out. You knew that if you didnât move soon you were going to end up falling asleep on the couch, but you were so comfortable and so tired that moving didnât even seem like an option, and it certainly wasnât something you wanted to do. Thankfully enough for you Molly called everyone into the dining area for dinner just moments before you would have dozed off had you been allowed to continue resting your eyes, and the next thing you knew you were sitting at the dinner table trying to keep up with the conversation you were having with Bill as Charlie watched, amused. Dinner continued on like it did every Christmas, and just before Molly was about to bring out dessert you decided it was time to reveal your secret to the entire family. Unfortunately for you it seemed you werenât the only person who felt this way, because just before you could stand up and get everyoneâs attention Bill stood up instead, Fleur at his side. âWe have an announcement.â Bill told everyone, his voice managing to catch the attention of every single person sitting at the table all at once. You looked up at the couple, curious of what they had to say as they linked hands and shared a smile, turning to face the whole family happily, âWeâre having a baby.â There was silence for a moment, the whole family trying to process what they had just heard. And then there was only chaos.Â
Everyone was shouting to one another from across the table as the news began to sink in, the whole family rejoicing at the realization that Fleur was pregnant. Well, almost the entire family that is, because you were stuck to your chair out of shock towards the situation. For months Charlie had been beyond excited to tell his family he was going to be a father, and for months he had kept it a secret so he could announce it to every member of his family all at once with you at his side. But now Bill and Fleur had announced Fleurs pregnancy, and if you and Charlie told a single soul about the fact that you were with child you would be taking away from them and the spotlight they deserved. Essentially what this meant was that if anyone found out you were pregnant you would single handedly ruin what was now their night to celebrate their big news with the family. And there was absolutely no way you were doing that to your own family.Â
About a half hour later everything had calmed down a bit with the whole family migrating to the living room to relax and chat happily before everyone got to opening their Christmas presents. Like usual Molly made sure that all of the women got to sit on the furniture while the men stood up, as to her it seemed wrong for a gentleman to allow a woman to stand, and seeing as she was the woman of the house everyone knew her word was law and obeyed without complaint. After a few minutes everyone got settled into the living room and you were glad to have things going back to normal, you even thought that maybe if things continued to stay on the path they were currently going down you might be able to enjoy this Christmas despite how sad it was that you couldnât share your news. Unfortunately you would never know if that would have been possible, because things did not continue to stay on the path had been going down. Apparently you and everyone else around had neglected to notice the fact that Fleur had gone to the bathroom and when she came back you all realized there werenât enough seats on the couch for all of the women anymore. Of course with Fleur being pregnant no one was going to have her stand up with the men, and suddenly before you even realized what was happening Bill was asking if Fleur could take your seat. Of course you knew that Bill wasnât asking you to stand because he had something against you, in fact you were fairly certain that the reason he had asked you to stand was because the two of you were such good friends that asking those things of one another never seemed like a big deal. But even though you knew Bill didnât mean any harm by asking if Fleur could take your seat you couldnât help but feel a little angry for a moment before reminding yourself that there was no way he could know about your situation and therefore there was no way he could know what he was doing wrong. Not wanting to seem rude you agreed to stand while Fleur took your spot on the couch beside Hermione, and thankfully enough everyone was so preoccupied by the pregnant woman in the room that none of them noticed how furious Charlie looked as you walked over to stand beside him.Â
Usually the chatting part of the Christmas celebration that took place at the burrow every year wasnât very long, a half hour at most followed by another half hour where everyone opened gifts afterward. When you had decided to give Fleur your seat on the couch you had assumed that this year would be the same as the others, which would have meant you would only be standing for an hour. Unfortunately this was not the case. The excitement about the new baby was causing the chatting to last much longer, and while you would not have minded this had you been sitting down you did mind it standing up. Every second you remained on your feet felt like torture, and after an hour and a half of this you found yourself beginning to drift off despite the fact that you were standing up. Pairing the exhaustion of being four months pregnant with the exhaustion of travel and the fact that you were being forced to stand for an hour and a half on top of all of this was proving to be too much for you, and as you continued to stand the world began to grow darker and darker until finally it all became too much and you fell asleep while standing up for the first time in your life. Of course this wasnât anything your body was used to doing, and as you finally gave up control and drifted off there was nothing to hold you up anymore, and you began to sway slowly back and fourth on your feet, something that only managed to catch the attention of your fiance beside you, and just in time at that. Just as Charlie noticed your odd swaying movements your entire body started to crumple to the ground, and if he had not caught you there is no telling what may have happened.
You woke up the very second Charlie caught you in his arms, dazed and more than a little confused about why he looked so panicked as he held you. The next think you knew you were being pulled tight against his chest before Charlie held you away from him, gripping tightly on to your shoulders as he looked you over with scared and wild eyes. âAre you alright? Merlin Y/n you canât just fall over like that, do you have any idea what could have happened to the two of you?â You opened your mouth to speak but found that no words would come out, and when Charlie saw your loss for words he just sighed and tugged you close again, âCâmon, you need to sit down. I shouldnât have let you stand up for this long, I shouldâve known it would be too much after all weâve done today.â You watched in silence as your fiance sat down on the floor, spreading his legs to make a space for you in between them before he motioned for you to sit down as well, and while usually you would never have been okay with sitting on the floor you knew that if you didnât all you would do was upset Charlie even further. You sat down in front of Charlie and leaned your head back against his shoulder, nodding as he asked you if you were alright for the second time in five minutes. After a little bit of adjusting yourselves on the hard floor you found that you and Charlie had somehow managed to sit yourselves in the same position that you would sit in at home, with you sitting between his legs and resting your head against his chest while he played with your hair soothingly to help relieve stress. Today though, seeing as you had just fallen over and successfully scared the living hell out of your fiance, instead of playing with your hair he had both of his hands resting against your stomach, very clearly outlining your bump for everyone in the room to see. You and Charlie probably would have remained in that same position for much longer without remembering where you are had it not been for one thing and one thing only, the sound of Molly Weasley shouting her second eldest sons name so loud you could have sworn the whole house shook.Â
Needless to say it took a lot of explaining to get the family to understand why you hadnât told them about your pregnancy, and even more explaining to get them to understand why you had said yes when Bill asked you to stand up. It wasnât until you had undergone forty five minutes of endless questioning that Charlie mentioned the fact that you still hadnât slept yet, urging the family to carry on with the celebration so the two of you could get to bed. After that Arthur and Ron began working together to hand out presents to everyone, and as you watched your family begin to open up their gifts with huge smiles you found your exhaustion began to fade away. Everyone continued to open up their Christmas presents until finally there was only one left under the tree, a present from you to Charlie that you had assumed you were going to have to sneak upstairs back before the family had found out you were pregnant. You were glad to know that Charlie would get to open up his gift with his family around him, and you were even more glad to know that he had finally gotten to tell them all the secret he had been dying to get out. Slowly and cautiously Charlie began to remove the wrapping paper from his Christmas gift from you, revealing a white box that most people knew commonly held things like clothing when it came to gifts. Looking up at you curiously Charlie shook the box, making you roll your eyes and motion for him to continue. Slowly and dramatically Charlie began to lift the top off of the white box in front of him, and the second he saw what was inside you were tackled with a hug. âYouâre being serious? Youâre really serious about this?â You smiled and nodded, shrieking with laughter as your fiance buried his head in the crook of your neck, his hairs tickling your skin, âHoly shit, I love you.â His words were muffled thanks to his mouth being pressed against your neck, but after years of being with Charlie you could tell exactly what he was saying. âI love you too, Charlie.â You held him against you happily for a few moments before you were broken out of your reverie by your soon to be mother in laws voice, âWell? What is it thatâs got you so excited Charlie?â You grinned as you watched your fiance pull away from you only to reach over and pick up a small baby shirt you had picked up from a muggle store that simply read, âDaddyâs little man.âÂ
