It's quiet enough, for the Tonks-Wrangle flat; the kids are both napping, though that could change at any second, Bernard's sorting laundry, and 'Dora's working on the dishes.

...Yeah, they totally need something to break up the quiet, wouldn't you say?

The door says, "No! You have to wait! I am pregnant! I have to think how to tell you!"

[thecoolone]

Bill turns slowly to Bernard.

"Erm. Bernard. Did you hear something?" He wiggles a finger in his ear. "I could swear I heard something, but I'm not sure I quite made out the words."

Help me?

Bernard heard something all right.

Bernard heard something so clearly that he's slumped against the wall, with tears of mirth in his eyes.

"Maybe you should open the door. I'll be..." He gestures vaguely at the study, "Over there."

[leplusbeau]

There is a pause. Then, "I hate english!"

The lock pops and the door slowly swings open. Fleur is looking down at the floor, leaning against the door frame. She looks up at Bill, down, then finally up.

"I think--no. I am pregnant. I, ah. Only had one test say 'no', and it was green instead of clear or blue, so I think we did something wrong and we owe Bernard and Tonks a new shower curtain."

[thecoolone]

"Reparo."

It doesn't really fix the shower curtain, but he's not concentrating on the spell, particularly. Instead, he's looking at Fleur with the greatest curiosity.

The only thing he can think to do is step inside the bathroom with her and close the door behind them.

"Everyone else has been in here with you; I feel as though it ought to be my turn. Particularly right now." Resting a hand on either shoulder, he looks into the blue oceans of her eyes. "Did I hear you correctly?"

The thoughts in his mind are too disjointed for focus. So he does what he can: leaning forward, he kisses her.

And then there are tears, and he doesn't even notice.

[leplusbeau]

She is frozen, for just a moment. Then, Fleur cradles his face with both hands and kisses him back with every ounce of herself.

She is crying now too.

Pulling a breath away, she leans her forehead against his and is now clutching at the collar of his shirt. "You are not angry with me? Thiz iz okay?"

[thecoolone]

His eyes are swimming.

"I love you. What corner of the universe calls for anger? Oh, Fleur... I thought you didn't want... but... but this is wonderful."

Taking in a ragged breath, he holds her tight to his body. "I love you."

[leplusbeau]

"It iz...iz surprise. I did not want to say anything until I waz--and then I thought I waz being stupid because I did not plan it, so I must be wrong, but I waz late and, and. I love you. I love you. Oh, Bill."

She buries her face in his neck, just holding on. For just a moment.


Quiet, "We are going to be parentz." And she is smiling. It is half terrified, but she is smiling, thinking, yes. We can do this. We can!

Sunny's been Napping.

She's not now, tugging her blankie behind her and rubbing at her eyes with one fist.

"..."

They are not taking baths. There are no bubbles. And they are not using the toilet.

"Hafta pee," she informs them loudly. "Bafwoom is no' fow' playin' in."

[thecoolone]

Bill squats down and looks down at her through a different set of eyes than he would have mere minutes ago. She's not just a child: she's Sunny. She's a little girl, a human, a...

"By all means, young lady. We were just leaving."

Standing again, he reaches for Fleur's hand. There's so much more he wants to say and so much more they should talk about but Sunny's right: the bathroom is definitely not for playing in. They've got their room, and they've got all the time in the world.

[leplusbeau]

She squats down after Bill. And places a gentle kiss on Sunny's forehead. "Pardon, petite."

Exit bathroom they go. "We are going! Thank you for letting us use your bathroom! --I will send a new curtain later!"

And she is following after Bill.




Life just got a little more interesting.
