Includes: Anxiety, Pregnancy, Miscarriage, Fred George and Molly being angels
Pairing: Fred Weasley x f!reader
Letâs start at the begging, when I first met Fred and George Weasley I was sitting in a compartment alone on the train to hogwarts, my first day had my nerves going haywire, and like some miracle they both wandered into my compartment and sat across from me, their fiery red hair and mischievous smiles drew me in
From that moment forward the three of us were best friends, it was normal for me to join them at their burrow during summers, weâd swap Christmas gifts the night before we went to our own homes, and some how along the way I grew a different relationship with both
George became my confidant, the person I could tell absolutely anything to and he never judged me and I was that for him along with Fred, but through the years my heart grew for Fred the way heâd always stick up for me, sharing gentle moments that stayed with me forever only making me fall for him more
My fondest memory was when he asked me to be his date to the Yule ball, he was so nervous which was so unlike him, he and George had created a trick that when I opened the letter out flew colorful little fireworks that formed into a heart, the letter reading âYou must have many suitors ready to take your hand to the ball but you know youâd have more fun with me;) plus I canât miss my chance to go to this ball with the most beautiful girl in all of Hogwarts, so what do you say will you be my date angel?â
I remember how happy I was when I read that letter when I looked at him across from me seeing how nervous he was I couldnât possibly say no and neither could my heart
That leads me to now, sitting on my shared bed with Fred, reading the letter I had kept all this time, tears falling down my face remembering everything between us that led to now
And with the news I just found out Iâm even more vulnerable to being nostalgic, Iâve been feeling off lately and after Ginny suggested I might be pregnant my world started spinning, I mean Iâve been with Fred for forever but I was still scared we are young and their joke shop is still growing, what if itâs too soon? Times like this alone always made me spiral and Fred or George were the only ones to ground me
The test was positiveâŚ.pregnant, Iâm actually pregnant, Fred and George will be home any minute now and my heart is racing, the best plan is to probably tell them at the same time, just rip the bandaid off all at once and just pray Fred isnât upset
I hear them open the door, coming in laughing and for a second my heart has hope that everything will be okay as long as theyâre by my side, my boyfriend and my best friend
I suck up as much courage as possible tucking the test into my pocket and go to meet them in the living room, theyâre all smile and it makes me feel better, when they notice me Fred picks me up spinning me in his arms and I canât help but hold him a little tighter
âI missed youâ I whisper as he sets me down, his eyebrows furrow, his thumb brushing my cheek
âHey whatâs got my girl down?â He could always read me like an open book
âI need to tell you guys somethingâ I say sitting on the cozy chair and they quickly sit on the couch across from me and I could see how worried Iâve made them
âYouâre kinda scaring us here y/n, whatâs going on?â George asks gently
âIâŚ..Iâve been feeling sick lately, justâŚ..not really rightâ Fred sucks in a breath
âOh godrick, tell me youâre not ill angelâ I shake my head to ease that thought
âNoâŚ.ginny suggested something and I took a testâ I took the pregnancy test out of my pocket and placed it on the coffee table infront of them, letting them process
âWaitâŚ..is this a pregnancy test?â Fred asks in a tone I couldnt decipher
âObviously bro and itâs positiveâ George says with a smile that only said how incredibly happy his was but FredâŚ..his face was flat
âFred? Please say something, I know this is sudden I know this isnât the ideal time but I need youâŚ.both of you, I canât do this aloneâŚ..pleaseâ my voice waivered
His expression softened as he got up and switched me so he was sitting in the chair and sat me in his lap with me legs across him
âAngel I would never leave you to something like this alone, sure weâre young but I know thereâs no one else Iâd rather start a family with, youâre everything to me and now so will this babyâ his words filled me with so much relief and I could finally breath, I sigh with a subtle smile and lay my head on his chest
âIâm nervous but I canât deny Iâm a little excited tooâ his hands wrap around me rubbing my back like he always did to soothe me
âBet itâll be a girlâ George states and I hear Fred huff
âWanna bet?!â He asks
âGuys youâre really gonna make a bet, what does the winner get?â I smile loving to rile them up
âUuuuuuh how about the winner get to name the babyâ my eyes widen
âOh youâre on Fredâ they shake hands and I see the glow bond around them
âIf either of you name my baby something ridiculous I swearâ we all laugh and it feels like a new start to something wonderful
We found out I was about 3 months along, Fred was so excited, he already started buying little things for the baby, like cute gryffindor onesies, a pair of fuzzy little socks and a blanket for me to cover up in when Iâm feeding he said it was very important for me to be comfortable always
George was even excited too, saying they had a new little trickster to teach their tricks too and show them how fun magic can be
Itâs been a week since I found out and today we decided to head to the burrow for the weekend and tell the family the big news, I couldnât wait to see mollys reaction
Plus Hermione, Ron, Ginny and Harry would be visiting so we didnât have to make a bunch of trips and just tell everyone at once
âHey Angel are you ready?!â Fred asks as he comes into the bedroom where Iâm just finishing packing
âYup Iâm all setâŚ.im a little nervousâ
âWhy you know everyone will be over the moon darlingâ he says as he places his hands on my hips
âOh I know itâs just the anticipation but as long as I have you with me I know itâll be okayâ
âGodrick I love you darlingâ he whispers as he pulls me into a gentle kiss
âI love you too, so muchâ
The three of us travelled through the fireplace as it was safer than disaperating, and the second we stepped foot into the burrow I was welcomed with a tight hug from Molly, her warm scent comforting me, she smelled like cookies and amber
âOh dear how Iâve missed you, you must be going crazy staying with my two crazy boysâ she giggles as she pulls back for the twins to both hug her, they sure did love their mum and it warmed my heart
âCome now Iâve just finished dinner and everyone is already here!â Fred laid my luggage to the side for now, taking my hand as we walked to the big long family table, I always loved this house I was so homey and wild with character
âYou ready?â Fred whispers as we sit at the table, I nod as my heart picks up
âY/n!! I havenât seen you in a while! I hate that youâre not at hogwarts anymore me and Ginny miss you, itâs like we lost a part of our trioâ Hermione says pouting
âI miss you guys too, I could really use a girl talk laterâ I looked at Ginny and she smirked already knowing the news we were all gathered here for and I couldnât help but blush
âDinner is served!â Molly says as she lays all the food out on the table and everyone began to scoop up
âSo dear what was it you wanted all of us here for! Donât get me wrong weâve definitely missed you three, itâs too quiet nowâ Arthur asks as he bites into the roast
âWellâŚ..oh goodness this is hardâ Fred squeezed my thigh and George patted my back, one twin on each side of me
âYouâve got it!â Fred encouraged
âWell after a little chat with Ginny and feeling sick I took a test and wellâŚ..Iâm pregnantâ the sound of utensils against plates stopped and the room became too quiet, that is until Molly squealed out
âI KNEW IT! IT TOLD YOU ARTHUR!â She ran around the table hugging me over my shoulder doing the same to Fred, squishing us together
âI am proud of you son, congratulations!â Arthur cheered
âWell theyâve been going at it like rabbits so it was bound to happenâ George said smirking and Molly thwacked his arm as she walked past to go back to her seat
âGeorge Weasley watch your mouthâ she reprimanded but everyone at the table laughed and my face exploded in red god the walls must be thin
The others congratulated us and the girls were beyond excited I knew they definitely wanted the details later
âIâm 3 months along! I was nervous at first but now I canât wait, knowing Iâll be starting a family with the man that I love with all my heartâ Fred smiled as he placed a kiss to my forehead, just looking into his eyes made me melt
âAweeeeeeeâ Hermione, Ginny and Molly swooned at the same time making Ron fake a gag
It felt so good that everyone that meant the most to me know knew and that they were all excited for us and that theyâd be here for us
I sat in Ginnyâs room with her and Hermione and they were smiling so wide it bordered on creepy
âI cannot believe Iâm gonna be an aunt, I canât believe you didnât get pregnant soonerâ Ginny giggles and I huff smiling
âOh please whatâre you talking aboutâ
âCome on y/n the second you and Fred got the chance to make out or sneak off at hogwarts you took it, it was pretty obvious what you guys were doingâ
âWell what can I say Fred drives me crazy plus, the way he looks at me with the loving look just makes me wanna be close to himâ I say placing my hands on my tiny bump
âYou both really are head over heels for eachother itâs so sweetâ Ginny said
âYou guys got lucky too, I see the way Harry and Ron look at both of you, but no getting pregnant ladiesâ I say and we burst out laughing god I missed this
The weekend was lovely, Molly treated me like I was made of glass and it was sweet because I know how she must be overjoyed to have another little one running around and especially because this would be her first grandbaby
She sent me off with a freshly knitted blanket thinking just like Fred, that I should be cozy while this little baby grew
We got home and Fred put all the food Molly have us into the fridge
âIâd say weâre set on food for atleast two weeks nowâ he says and I canât help but laugh
âI love her, sheâs the bestâ
âI think she might like you darling more than she likes usâ George says as he slumps onto the couch to relax before the week of crazy work in the shop
âNo sheâs just happy, I am tooâŚ.i hope she has your hairâ I say rubbing my belly as Fred stands behind me placing his hands over mine
âShe huh? Youâre betting on a little lady too?â
âJust mothers intuitionâ I hum
âWell if itâs a girl sheâs gonna be as beautiful as he mumâ
âOh Fred ever the charmerâ he kissed my hair before sending me off the take a nap while they pack away the luggage
I tried to cozy up and get some sleep but it wasnât coming, I couldnât get comfortable and I started feeling hot and a wave of nausea rolled through my body
I sat up trying to ease whatever this feeling was and I just needed to have Fred with me right now
âFred!â I call out and in a second heâs in the room sitting on the bed next to me
âHey everything alright? Youâre looking a little pale darlingâ
âIâŚI donât know I just donât feel good, probably just morning sickness but I just didnât wanna be aloneâ his eyes soften and he pulls me into his arms as we lay back down
âIâm here, Iâm sure that little bean in there is just playing aroundâ he says as he rubs his hand down my side leaving a trail of calming chills down my body
âI canât wait to start this family Freddie, I always dreamed of it seeing you with our little baby in your armsâ he snickered as he kissed my hair line
âSoon darling, sheâll be here soonâ
Being held by him let me ease into a deep sleep even though that feeling still lingered
I woke up to a blinding pain in my stomach, I sat up the room dark the only light coming from the lamp in the corner, I reached for Fred shaking him, feeling my stomach drop when I feel something wet under me
Fred groaned as he sat up rubbing his eyes
âHey you okay? Nightmare?â
âSomethings wrongâ I threw back the sheets and my heart stopped, the sheets covered in blood and I hear Fred suck in a breath but everything started to blur, I couldnât focus my ears ringingâŚâŚnot my baby
My chest tightened at the imagine in front of me but now was not the time to cry, I jump out of bed gently picked her up into my arms, her eyes unfocused and her breathing shallow, he skin so pale it was almost green
I run out of the room screaming for George and heâs a mess stumbling out of his room in a pair of plaid pj pants and a sweater mum knit
âWhatâs going on?â He follows us the the door as we both slip into shoes
âWeâve gotta go to the hospital nowâ we travel through the fireplace and emerge into the lobby of a wizarding hospital
âWE NEED HELP!â I call out as a few nurses run our way leading us to a room
âWhat happened to her?â
âSheâs pregnant andâŚ..and there was blood and IâŚ.please help herâ the feelings were starting to crash down on me as I stubble over my words
âWeâve got her sir, youâll have to wait outsideâ
âNo im not leaving herâ I say as I sit in the chair next to her, they didnât argue and continued to check on her and clean her
âFred do you want me to get the family?â George asks behind me and all I can do is nod
âItâll be okay Angel, youâll be okayâ I whisper to her, her eyes glossy with tears as she turns her head away from me, something she always did when she didnât want me to see her pain
The family was sat in the waiting room for hours waiting anxiously for news, Molly was a wreck hating the thought of the physical and emotion pain you were going through, that her boy was hurting, that this wasnât suppose to be part of either of your stories
Arthur helped try and comfort his wife as the kids tried to distract themselves by talking about up coming exams knowing if they just sat in silence thinking about you and the baby then theyâd be bawling their eyes out and that wouldnât help anyone right now, they all had to be strong for you and Fred
Moments later as the sun was finally rising casting an orange hue through the waiting room, Fred came out of the room and George instantly got up pulling him into a hug
But it was when Molly stood after, gently placing her hand on his cheek that he broke down hiding his face in her shoulder letting all the emotions out and that was when everyone knew that you had lost the baby
âI shouldâve done something mum, I shouldâve been able to protect themâ Fred cried and it broke everyoneâs heart
âItâs not your fault dear sometimesâŚâŚsometimes these things happen even though it hurts so muchâ
âHow is she doing?â Ginny asks now as everyone is stood around comforting him
âShe wonât look at me, she canât stop crying either sheâs curled up in bed and itâs killing me that I canât take away her painâŚâŚshe was so excited, I was tooâ
âYou need a moment son, come with me weâll get something from the cafeteriaâ Arthur says wrapping his arm around Fredâs shoulders
âMum and I will stay with herâ Fred nods even though he hesitated leaving you
âPlease be gentle with herâ
When the doctor told me what I already knew deep down I feltâŚ..ashamed, broken, lost, I couldnât even look at Fred I didnât wanna see the hurt etched on his face
I laid curled up on the bed feeling hollow then the door opened and Molly and George came in, they both sat in the chairs on the side of the bed I was facing
âOh honeyâ Molly says holding my hand and I burst into a new wave of tears
âWhat did I do wrong? I wanted this so much and FredâŚ.i canât see him I feel like Iâve let him downâ
âHey donât talk like that, this wasnât your fault either, and you know Fred adores you and all he wants is to be here for you, weâre all here for you, this is gonna be a hard journey but me and Fred are gonna be by you every second, we love you we all love youâ George says as he brushes my hair back gentle in a repeated motion
George was always able to get through to me even though the pain was still strong
âBut what if he resents me now, we wanted a family and what if every time he looks at me now thatâs all he will seeâ
âMy son would never look at you with anything but absolute love and adorationâ I breath out shakily
âI justâŚ.it just hurts so muchâ
âDo you want me to get Fred?â George asks with that knowing look
Soon George came back with Fred and after George and Molly said goodbye and that theyâll be in the cafeteria with the family, it was just us two and for the first time ever I was nervous around him
I finally looked at him and by heart thumped and I sucked in a breathe
âPlease lay with meâ he kicked off his shoes and laid next to me, our hands intertwining my forehead pressed to his chest
âIâm so sorry darlingâ he whispers
âI wanted this for us so badlyâŚ.we never even got to find out what the gender wasâ
âIt was a baby girl, if thatâs what you felt then she was a girl darlingâ
Itâs been a month since we lost her and itâs been hard, everyday is a new day though thatâs what Hermione told me and slowly it was helping
Fred was extra extra sweet with me, patient, loving, a million kisses every morning, sweets he brought home from work
Molly would drop off baked goods or meals for us and it did make things a lot easier, Hermione and Ginny would send me letter all the time with words of encouragement and even just filling me in on their lives lately
But when I woke up this morning something felt different, like the gloom and heaviness that weighed down on me had lifted, even though Iâll grieve her forever
âGood morning darlingâ Fred chimes as he comes in the room with a plate of berries and waffles
âMorning Freddie, is this for me?â I asks smiling as he sets it on my lap
âOnly the best for my girlâ I pull him into a kiss quickly and his eyes open wide
âFor everything, youâve shown me so much love and I know youâre hurting too, I just wanna move forward I wanna live even though we only had her for a short time, if I dwell on it forever Iâll lose what we could grow into, Iâll keep us in that gloom and I donât want that, I want us, I want to laugh again and you and George pull pranks on me without being scared Iâll cry, I want to be us again because I love youâ his breathing came out shaking
âIâm so proud of you, I know it hurts but I know you felt it so much more, youâre so strong darling and sheâll always be with us and weâll remember her foreverâ
âDo youâŚ.do you still want to have a family together?â I ask placing my hand on his
âOf course I do, youâre my dream girl but I think we should wait and give it time till youâre completely readyâ godrick how did I get so lucky
âAnd I love you, till my last breathe and even after that, I will find you in every life timeâ
âAnd I will always look for youâ our foreheads placed together just living in this moment, with a piece of our hearts always holding a placing for our little girl
