More than Friends | (Fred Weasley x reader)

Chapter 71: Bringing them Home

"Hello, I'm Claire." She said warmly to me, holding her hand out to me which I took before doing the same thing to Fred.

"Hello Claire, I'm Y/n." I greeted with a warm smile.

"And I'm Fred, Y/n's fiancé." He introduced with a smile as he took James from my chest so hold his oldest son close to him.

"It's a pleasure to meet you both. I'm your home visitor, so it's my job to come to your house and check how your beautiful babies are developing." She told us as well as handing me a leaflet of what her job is and what Claire will be checking when she comes over.

"That sounds great!" I smiled as I quickly scanned over the leaflet but having to stop when Oliver began to cry sightly so I went to comfort him.

"Do you mind showing us your patronus, just so we can make sure it's actually you when you come to visit." Fred asked politely, gently swaying James side to side.

"Of course I can. I was about to show you both anyway." Claire smiled before pulling out her wand. "Expecto Patronum!"

Suddenly, a silvery blue mist appeared which slowly began to form a beautiful figure of a Hare, it gracefully bounced around the large hospital room before finally settling back into Claire's wand.

"It's beautiful." I said, swaying Oliver from side to side.

"Thank you, and now you have seen that. I'll be coming to visit on February 13th when your babies are six weeks old." Said Claire as she made a quick note onto her clipboard and using her wand to make a copy to give to me.

"Thank you, I'll look forward to see you." I replied to her. Claire nodded before saying our goodbyes to allow us to get ready to leave.

As Fred was packing up the room to make sure that we had everything packed, I changed James' nappy and placed both the babies gently into their carriers. Both twins were happily asleep which gave me time to change out of the hospital robes and into a comfy pair of leggings and a jumper, I brushed my hair and tucked it behind my ears before slipping into my shoes and with the help of Fred, stood up off the bed.

"Are you okay love?" Fred asked as I balanced myself out of his arms.

"Never better, let's get these babies home!" I smiled as a reply.

"Let's go home then!" My fiancé said as he grabbed James' carrier in one hand and Oliver's in the other.

We thanked Maria and Claire for taking care of us. I was told to rest and not do anything too physically demanding for at least two weeks after the birth.

"Are we ready to go then?" I smiled to Fred after hugging Maria goodbye.

"Let's go!" Fred answered.

Fred held onto my hand to help me walk. We each carried a baby carrier each. I had Oliver in my hand and James' in Fred's hand. We walked out of the maternity ward as a family of four, it still seemed so surreal. We walked down to the chimneys and stood in the short line to exit the hospital.

"Weasley's Wizard Wheezes!" Fred called, and before I knew it, the familiar sicking feeling came to my stomach. It was much less severe than it was when I was pregnant and it was more pleasant.
