where: the burrow / muggle park in london. who: arthur; @arthurxweasleyx.
Arthur's birthday had been last month and the couple had done nothing for it. That could not stand. Molly was disappointed in herself for not celebrating her husband's day but life had been so hectic it seemed like there was no time for anything. There still was no time for anything but Molly would be damned if she didn't do anything for him, even if it was terribly late.
Knowing -- but not know for sure -- that she was pregnant, Molly didn't want to take Arthur to a nice restaurant. She would have to say no to wine and that would raise red flags. She didn't want Arthur to guess if she could help it. She was worried that if it was something else that it would cause more stress so she waited to see Andromeda and left it at that. Since a night out on the town was out of the question, Molly decided to have a candlelit picnic in Arthur's favorite muggle park in London.
She made his favorite meal: shepherd's pie and cold butterbeer. It may seem simple but Arthur was a simple man -- something she loved about him. While making the shepherd's pie Molly had to step out of the kitchen multiple times due to the nausea. She munched on dried, flavorless cereal to help ease her stomach but was able to make her way through cooking the comfort food. Thank Merlin his favorite meal didn't involve seafood.
When Arthur got home, Molly was waiting for him. She was dressed up, hair done just right, rouge on her cheeks and red lipstick donning her lips. "Arthur," she smiled, "Lydia has the kids tonight. it's time to celebrate your birthday. " She held her hand out to him. "Let's apparate, love."
