Chapter Twelve, Nursery Planning and a First Birthday

As October turned into November, the weather became bitterly cold within the Nether Realm, winter was definitely on its way. As night fell the wind howled outside of the Manor House, the rain beat against the windows and the sea raged against the sandy shore below, but it didn't bother the occupants of the Manor House. Dobby was downstairs finishing his chores before he turned in for a restful evening, while muffled noises floated down the stairs from the top of the house. Up in the master bedroom on the topmost floor Mia was kneeling vertically across the bed moaning delightfully as Fred kneeled behind her on the bed as he held her hips tightly, as he thrusted into her hitting her g-spot hard from behind, moans tumbling from his lips with every thrust.
"Uhh, Mia!" Fred groaned, slamming into her causing Mia to moan which in turn caused André to moan.

André was stood on the other side of the bed moaning as he thrust into Mia's mouth feeling her lithe tongue run along the vein on the underside of his cock, darting to the tip and swirling around it as she lightly grazed her teeth against him before suddenly taking him to the back of her throat while swallowing causing him to groan loudly, head tilted back as he tangled his fingers in her curls.
"Mia! You are so good, baby." André moaned, before letting out a string of French. While the three were tangled together on the bed, Blaise and Damon were sat in the armchairs groaning at the delicious sight Mia made and couldn't wait for the two other Dominants to be finished as they masturbated, only having to pause and squeeze the base as they watched Mia come undone between Fred and André, screaming around André's cock. The tightening of her vaginal walls around Fred's cock and the vibrations of her scream around Andre's clock, made both Dominants come undone with a roar.

Once spent they gently pulled out of Mia, groaning as they watched her swallow Andre's seed, not spilling a drop. Where Fred and André were tired from their lovemaking with their gorgeous mate, Mia kissed both of them passionately. Once she pulled back she looked at Blaise and Damon with dark, lust filled emerald eyes. Which only resulted in another round but with Blaise and Damon in Fred and André's respective positions, while the latter pair moved towards the chairs. It was a long ardent night with each of them being in one position or the other with a flirtatious Mia.

***

The next morning, Mia was suddenly startled awake but for once it wasn't due to Morning sickness instead she couldn't quite pinpoint what had caused her to wake up so suddenly. Just as she looked at the closest body next to her; which happened to be Fred, she had a feeling in the back of her mind as her Dragel took over. She felt a slight pain in her gums as her teeth elongated, barely pausing to allow the pain to fade, Mia sat up and suddenly locked her teeth on to his shoulder startling Fred awake with a yell.
"MIA! What the hell are you doing?" Fred shouted at his mate, who was purring as she drank his blood, and startled the others awake. André took one look at what was going on and realised what was happening.

"She's got to the stage where she needs more of our blood, and even our semen." André stated, causing realisation to course through Fred, Blaise and Damon.
"I'm sorry for shouting, my love. You just startled me." Fred apologised, running his hand through her hair.
"That's why she was so horny last night too." Blaise realised, thinking back to, and relishing in remembrance of their activities that had started right after dinner. Each one of them had at least once made love to Mia as well as Mia sucking on them, sometimes at the same time.
"Yes, though I for one am glad she's not waking up violently sick." André said happily.
"That doesn't mean she won't be sick later though." Damon countered.
"True. Although, I hope it's starting to ease off or at least slow down." André agreed with a sigh, they hated how badly the morning sickness affected Mia.

Mia sat back up licking the blood from her lips after a couple of mouthfuls, Fred's wound now healed and nonexistent.
"Feeling better now, love?" André asked, rubbing Mia's back. Mia had fallen asleep on the edge of the bed last night, hands held tightly to Fred and André who relented and laid down beside her instead of moving to her usual spot in the middle of the bed. Mia looked down unsurely, playing with her fingers suddenly very unsure of herself as not only did her supposed childhood rear its ugly head, but also she felt bad for how she woke Fred up but she couldn't help it.
"Hey," André crooned, gently lifting her head up so she was looking him in the eye. "There's no need to feel shy or unsure around us, Mia. If you want something all you need to do is ask. And we know you couldn't help your instincts, it's just your Dragel getting what's best for the babies." He said soothingly, as Fred pulled Mia into his arms kissing her temple.

"I'm not mad Mia. I could never be mad at you, you just startled me but I also know it's not your fault as it's like André said so no blaming yourself, alright? Now, do you need some blood from André, Blaise and Damon?" Fred asked.
"Please." Mia said softly, after a few minutes of debating with herself.
"Never be afraid to ask Mio caro, as it's for the health of you and our sons or daughters." Blaise said, now kneeling in front of Mia with Damon kneeling next to him.
"Okay, and thank you." Mia said, before sinking her fangs into André, followed by Blaise and then Damon.

Once she pulled back from Damon she relaxed against the pillows and fell straight to sleep with a contented and happy smile on her face. The four just smiled lovingly at her as she looked so innocent in sleep and kissed her head and her baby bump, before they too settled back into bed easily falling back into a deep sleep as it was rather early.
'Maybe we should keep a flask of our blood handy in case she needs it.' André thought as he drifted off to sleep.

***

The next time Mia woke up she felt sick to her stomach. Breathing deeply as she opened her eyes she reached for the potions on the bedside table, however, before she could grasp them she suddenly darted towards the bathroom and emptied her stomach. As she was dry heaving she felt someone pull her hair back and another pair of hands rub her back soothingly.
"It's okay, Mio caro. Shh." Blaise crooned lovingly.
"Here sweetheart." Damon said, handing Mia some water to rinse her mouth out and her potions once she sat back against them.
"Feeling better?" Fred asked, from the doorway, seeing colour return to her cheeks now that she'd taken all her potions.
"Yeah, thank you. I love you all." Mia said, getting to her feet with the help of Blaise and Damon.

"Why don't you come have some breakfast in bed with us, Mon amour. Then we can have some cuddles, before you have a nice warm bath before we head to Arcadia Way for nursery shopping." André suggested, entering the bedroom with some new potions which he placed on the bedside table once Fred removed the tray containing their breakfasts. Normally, they'd have it all downstairs with Dobby, but the sweet little elf had suggested they have it with Mia in bed and rest until she's feeling better.
"Je t'aime, André. I love you Freddie. Ti amo, Blaise. I love you Damon." Mia said, kissing each of them tenderly after she'd cleaned her teeth and climbed into the centre of the bed.
"Ti amo anch'io, Mia. Buongiorno Mia Cara." Blaise said happily, climbing in on the left side of her.

"I love you too, Mia." Damon returned happily, as he climbed in on Mia's right side.
"Bonjour ma chérie. Je t'aime aussi, Mia." André smiled happily at her as her face lit up, climbing in on the end of the bed next to Damon, after opening the curtains. He and Blaise were teaching Mia French and Italian respectively and she was soaking it up quicker than Fred and Damon.
"I love you too, Mia." Fred said lovingly, passing Blaise, Damon and André their breakfasts and set the tray holding his and Mia's breakfast on Mia's lap before he too climbed into bed next to Blaise and took his breakfast.
"Devon and Rupert Floo called." André stated, after a few moments of peaceful silence filled only with the scrapes of their knives and forks as they ate their breakfasts, the guys drinks had been infused with a Blood Replenisher to replace the blood they had lost.

"Is everything all right?" Blaise asked concerned.
"Everything's fine. Alice has just gone into her nest and my parents are with them along with both of their parents. They'll keep us up to date on both Alice and the baby." André explained.
"That's good." Mia said happily, sipping at her honey tea.
"There's certainly been a baby boom in our family. With our twins and Chantelle's quads there'll be fifteen babies come Springtime." Damon laughed.
"Well, no one can't say our family isn't trying to boost the population." Fred joked, making them all laugh.
"Speaking of our babies. What if we had a neutral animal theme for the nursery? That way we won't have to keep changing it." Mia asked nervously.

"That sounds like a wonderful idea, darling. And you're right we can then move the older children out into their own rooms, sharing if they're the same gender, and decorate it that way." André said thoughtfully.
"What colours were you thinking, Mia?" Damon asked, tucking a strand of hair behind her ear.
"I was thinking light dove grey, white, cream, very pale pink just for some cushions and dark grey." Mia explained her ideas.
"Sounds beautiful, Mio caro." Blaise said lovingly, kissing her forehead.
"It really does." Fred agreed, looking at the woman he loved with soft, tender brown eyes.

"And this way we have a better idea what to get while we're out shopping today. We also need to get Megan her present." Fred added.
"Well, we better get a move on." André said, draining the last of his green tea. "I'll go have a quick shower and run you a bath, love." He said, as he climbed from the bed.
"Thank you babe." Mia called after him, relaxing as she finished her tea.

***

After a nice relaxing bath - Mia only got out when the water started to cool, she ogled her mates as they came into shower and got distracted making them laugh - she changed into a red, lace maternity bra with matching lace underwear, black leggings, a black long sleeved top, a rust orange cardigan, white ankle sock, and leopard print pumps. After packing a light beige handbag with her purse holding her Gringotts card, and a list of things they needed to get today; she slipped on her rings and plaited her hair into a side fishtail braid, and finished off her look with Smokey orange eyeshadow, black mascara and eyeliner and dark taupe lipstick. Satisfied Mia headed downstairs where her handsome mates awaited chatting in the hallway.
"You all look so handsome." Mia complimented, smiling at her mates happily. She loved that they were one big, loving family.

They had all dressed in tight fitting jeans that made her hormones rage and her emerald eyes to darken, and it was only the fact they knew they had to get the nursery done and get things for Megan's birthday that stopped her from dragging them back upstairs or into the living room, she wasn't picky. Damon wore indigo coloured jeans, brown suede shoes, a white knitted jumper and a cream trench coat. He was the only one not wearing some sort of ripped jeans.
André wore blue ripped jeans, a white T-shirt, brown shoes and a camel coloured trench coat.
Blaise wore stonewashed blue ripped jeans, brown shoes, a white T-shirt, a grey hoodie, and a black pea coat.
Finally, Fred wore blue ripped jeans, a white shirt, a black jumper, brown shoes, and a beige trench coat.

"Us? You look beautiful as always, my love." Damon said, kissing her heatedly.
"Do you know how much we all wanted to get out of our showering time and each have our way with you in that bath with the looks you gave us?" Blaise asked huskily, causing Mia to let out a breathless moan.
"Once the nursery is set up we will definitely be having a repeat of last night." Fred said, his voice deep and husky much like the kiss he bestowed upon her.
"Well the sooner we get the shopping done and the nursery set up, the sooner I can have you." André stated, carefully wrapping his arms around her. As they shadowed away Mia noticed the unmistakable bulges in the front of their jeans.

***

Within The Burrow, Molly was smiling happily as she made baby packages for Mia and Chantelle with the help of Fleur. She couldn't wait for her new grandchildren to arrive. Ginny and Fleur's sister, Gabrielle, had Owl'd over what they had brought for Mia and Chantelle (Gabrielle mainly getting things for Mia who she adored). She was thankful that her children were back at Hogwarts and would not interfere with either the packages or with Megan's birthday planning that Arthur, and Chantelle's parents; Helen, Conrad, and Robbie, along with Elijah's parents; Paul, Victoria and Sam, were doing in the kitchen. Hermione had upset Winky once again before they left for Hogwarts, despite being told by herself and Arthur that house-elves needed Wizarding families to survive, she didn't get it as she was very literal and always wanted proof. Hopefully talking to the house-elves of Hogwarts would get her to understand as per Winky's suggestion.

Molly had suggested to Chantelle and Elijah's parents that the eight of them plan Megan's first birthday to take the stress off of George, Chantelle and Elijah which they had all agreed to, which led to them currently sitting at her kitchen table discussing things through - Molly adding her input every now and then, as she listened while she knitted and chatted with Fleur. Before them sat six open boxes with a few baby things in them like: blankets, shawls, clothes, booties, muslin cloths. It was a box for each of Molly's grandchildren, Fleur's nieces/nephews. Chantelle's four boxes had mainly pinks and blues within them, with only a few neutral items as they knew she was having two boys and two girls, whereas Mia's two boxes were all neutral as they didn't know what she was having as of yet. There was also a smaller box for Andre's sister, Alice, as Molly knew she was due her first child sometime this month.

"Mia is going to love this." Fleur exclaimed happily, holding up the blanket she just finished knitting, which had a picture of a wolf, a stag, a doe and a large black dog playing with a young doe, which she had enchanted it to move. Remus had told them of Sirius, James and Lily's Animagus forms and Fleur knew what Mia's was.
"She would. That's beautiful." Molly said softly, bonding with her future daughter-in-law as she was going to marry Bill next summer. There really was a hectic few years coming up for the Weasleys but Molly wouldn't have it any other way. Smiling happily in thanks, Fleur carefully placed it inside one of the boxes and started on making an exact replica of the blanket for the other twin.

***

Arriving in Arcadia Way, Mia quickly cast a Privacy Charm getting looks of confusion from her mates.
"You may want to get rid of them, unless, of course, you want to be entering the shops with obvious bulges in your jeans." Mia said nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders but she had a mischievous smirk on her lips and a look in her emerald orbs. Startled, the four looked down and groaned and closed their eyes.
"Little minx." They all muttered, causing Mia to giggle. They had forgotten how hard they were before they left so eager were they to get back home and pleasure their love. A few minutes later they opened their eyes and the bulges had disappeared allowing Mia to remove the spell. Intertwining her fingers with André and Blaise, they headed towards the baby store, 'Valencia's Baby Boutique'.

As they entered the shop, they were in awe of the lightly coloured, well lit and open-plan style of the shop, as it seemed to draw your eye to everything within, which obviously had been the plan. As they were looking at the vast collection of baby wear within the store from everything from paint colours; to wall mural themes; to cots and bassinets either basic or with a theme; and to baby clothes, etc. It was quite quiet as there were only a few other people within the shop being helped by employees. As they were looking on in wonder, a kindly, older diminutive Latino woman - who was not that much taller than Mia herself - approached them. She had greying dark brown hair placed in a smart-casual up-do, kind brown eyes and laughter lines around her eyes and mouth, and she wore black trousers, a white blouse, and black heels adorned her feet.

"Good morning, and welcome to my shop, 'Valencia's Baby Boutique'. How can I help you?" Valencia asked politely and kindly.
"Hi." Mia said a little shyly, getting a soothing grandmotherly smile off of the elder woman, which eased her a little. "We're looking to get things for our nursery but we're expecting twins." She explained.
"Oh, my you have certainly been blessed with a gift, haven't you?" Valencia asked rhetorically.
"We have indeed." Blaise agreed, looking at Mia with a love filled gaze.
"Have you decided on what you'd like for your nursery? Not to worry if you haven't we can certainly find you something." Valencia asked.

"We've decided on a neutral layout so we won't have to keep changing it with every pregnancy." Fred explained.
"We've also, well Mia suggested and we agreed - to go with a light dove grey, dark grey, white and cream and very light pink accents for the colour scheme and an animal print for the theme." Damon added.
"Excellent." The elder woman beamed. "That certainly narrows things down. This way." She said, leading them further into the shop. "Now, would you just like two cots, or would you like to get two bassinets as well, for your bedroom for the first few months?" She asked, stopping beside a floating wall design that was in dove grey but with a safari animal print upon it for two of the four walls, while the other two were a bare dove grey; and surrounding it were the matching and necessary items.

"We'd like two bassinets as well as two cots, please." André agreed.
"Excellent. Now these -" Valencia smiled, as she spent the next hour showing them everything that would go with the theme of the room they wanted ranging from some toys to wall art, to cushions, to carpet colour swatches, and to the furniture they'd need in matching or complimenting colours. Once that was decided and a buggy made for twins and baby carriers were picked out, Valencia had someone take the carriers (both car seats and ones strapped to the body), the buggy, the bedding, wall designs and cushions and add it to the back room with the correct packaged furniture they'd like under Andre's name, while Valencia showed them clothes in neutral colours, changing mats, baby baths, cord clamps and other important and necessary items they will need.

For the next hour, they walked around the shop picking out things they would need for their babies and even picking out a present for Megan which they would have wrapped, until they were satisfied they had everything they needed. Finally, as Mia ticked off the last item on the list, and the creams and baby monitors were added to the basket Fred was carrying, they followed Valencia to the till where the rest of their shopping was waiting for them shrunken down and placed in only a few Expandable and Featherlight shopping bags that the guys will be able to manage, Mia carrying Megan's present with a fond eye roll at their overprotectiveness.
"Okay, so that will be 600 Galleons, 21 Sickles and 7 Knuts, please. How would you like to pay?" She asked, knowing from experience the partners would split it between them while treating their mate. The guys were shocked but they realised they had given them quite a few discounts as it was less than they thought it would be.

"We'd like to split the cost please?" Fred asked, as he and the others pulled out their Gringotts card. "No, love. We are treating you." He denied with a kiss to her forehead.
"Certainly." Valencia agreed, ringing up the amount to split it four ways.
"Fine and thank you. But I'm treating you all to lunch." Mia insisted, knowing it was pointless to argue with them.
"Thank you, Mon amour." André said tenderly, kissing her softly. He was eager to get her home as he could see she was tired so while she had her nap he and the others could sort out the nursery and then if she was up to it later, they would continue from last night.

***

After a wonderful lunch of chicken wrap with a salad and a warm butterbeer each, the group returned home. Once Mia had gone upstairs for her nap the four men got started on changing one of the bedrooms on the floor below their own room into the perfect nursery for their babies. They worked diligently for the next couple of hours, Dobby even popping in to help by transferring the new wallpaper onto the walls and the fluffy carpet into a nice snow-white colour. Changing the once cream neutral wallpaper into two plain light dove grey walls by the door and the window, and the remaining two with the animal safari upon it. Cream blackout blinds were placed over the large windows looking out over their gardens with the cream armchair beneath it with soft pink and grey cushions placed on it and a grey fluffy blanket draped over the back, on right side of the armchair was a small white bookshelf containing books for their children and on the left side was a large dark grey toy box full of toys.

Next, the lampshade was changed to a slightly darker grey than the walls. Against the wall on the right side of the room stood two white cots dressed in grey and white elephant patterned bedding with a large elephant cuddly toy on the floor between them. Against the other safari wall on the left hand side, was a large, white chest of draws with a changing mat placed on top, and already fully stocked with: nappies in different sizes, creams, blankets, muslin cloths, baby grows, nappy sacks and bodysuits; next to it stood two dark grey bins. And lastly, against the wall by the door were two white wardrobes and three very cute art designs with an elephant on them that said, 'Dream big little one'.
"It's perfect." Blaise said, with a satisfied grin on his face. "Mia certainly had a wonderful idea." The others agreed as they left the room thanking Dobby for his help as they went upstairs to check on their sleepy mate.

***

On the morning of Megan's first birthday (November 15th 1996), as the Aubert-Weasley family we're getting ready they were suddenly interrupted by a Floo call. It was Rupert, Alice's mate and husband. As soon as the words were out of Dobby's mouth, André had rushed downstairs to the small living room, muttering an absent, 'thanks', in his haste he also forgot he could shadow and instead ran down the several flights of stairs; as such was his worry for his baby sister. He needn't have worried, however, as Rupert was bringing happy news. Two days ago, on November 13th 1996, Alice had given birth to a healthy baby boy who they had named Hunter Jesse Anderson. He assured André that Alice was doing just fine along with Hunter and they were both out of the nest and back home resting under their watchful gaze and attentive hands.

André let out a sigh of relief at hearing his baby sister was okay.
"Congratulations Rupert, I'm so happy for you, we all are. Give Alice and Devon our congratulations as well please?" André asked, almost slumping in relief from where he kneeled in front of the fireplace where Rupert's head appeared in the green flames.
"Of course, and thank you. It'll be your turn soon mate come the new year. Please give George, Chantelle and Elijah our apologies for not coming to Megan's party but wish her a happy birthday from us." Rupert asked.
"I'm sure they'll understand as Chantelle will no doubt be going into her nest, again, soon. But I'll pass it on, don't worry. Thank you for letting us know, I'll let you get back to them." André said with a happy smile.
"Bye mate." Rupert said, before his head disappeared with a small pop.

As he walked back upstairs with a smile upon his face he laughed as he realised the state of his undress: he thankfully had his black trousers one and done up along with the black leather belt, he was barefoot, and his black shirt only had three buttons at the bottom done up and his collar was sticking up. Shaking his head he did up his shirt and tucked it in, and flattened his collar as he walked.
"Is Alice okay?" Fred asked, as soon as André entered the bedroom. Now in a better state of dress than he'd left it.
"Everything's perfect." André beamed. "Two days ago Alice gave birth to a healthy baby boy and she's just come out of the nest with him today.

Both are happy and healthy, according to Rupert, but are resting and naturally won't be at the party today. They named him Hunter Jesse Anderson." André revealed to happy cheers, all of them happy for their sister-in-law and nephew which made André's heart swell with love for them all.
"Complimenti! È meraviglioso!" Blaise said excitedly, slipping into Italian in his euphoria. "Sorry, I said: 'Congratulations! That's wonderful!'" Blaise added bashfully, at Mia, Damon and Fred's confused looks - Mia popping her head round the bathroom door. Mia laughed with the others, as she slipped back into the bathroom to finish getting ready as they were a bit pressed for time now, but Dobby had said he'd head to The Burrow and inform George, Chantelle and Elijah of what had transpired.

"Congratulations sweetheart!" Mia called through the bathroom door, adding the finishing touches to her hair and makeup as she heard Fred and Damon congratulate André as well. Mia wore a pink form fitting dress that had a slight scooped neckline - showing the barest hint of the top of her now larger breasts, (they added to her backache as she'd been 32DD before becoming pregnant now she was an E), and showed off her now her four month baby bump that looked larger due to the twins and her slight frame - and stopped just past her knees. The dress had a matching, long, open cardigan which stopped below the bottom of her dress which naturally Mia had on to stave off the late autumn chill, nude sandal heels adorning her feet, and her toe and fingernails were painted white. Mia also had slight Smokey pink eyeshadow that shimmered slightly, black winged eyeliner, black mascara, pink lipstick and she had curled her blue hair so it fell in a waterfall of tight curls down her back.

As she left the bathroom the breath caught in each of her mates' throats as they caught sight of her; she was stunning.
"Bellissimo!"
"Beau ou belle!" Blaise and André breathed at the same time.
"You have literally taken my breath away." Damon stated, making Mia blush darker and deny his statement.
"No, Mia." Fred said firmly, gently and tenderly, taking her hands in his. "You are beautiful. I know the Dursleys made you feel worthless for years but I swear to you, we swear to you, that you are not worthless. You are the most beautiful and amazing woman we've ever met and speaking for the others here too, we are so proud of you and glad you're our mate." Fred said passionately, gently wiping away her tears.

"Thank you and I love all of you so much. I'm glad you're my mates too, and you all look very dashing." Mia said emotionally, looking over her handsome mates. All of them were smartly dressed like her for the party, despite it being Megan's first they wanted to make a good impression, plus, Chantelle had asked them so they agreed. André, now fully dressed, had a grey blazer over his black shirt and black loafers adorning his feet.
Blaise wore a black suit with black smart shoes, but with a white T-shirt underneath.
Damon wore navy almost black trousers, a white shirt, a beige blazer and white trainers.
Finally, Fred wore a pair of dark indigo jeans with a brown leather belt, brown smart shoes, a white button up shirt and a navy blazer.
"Thank you love and you don't have to thank us, it's the truth." Damon said, kissing her temple lovingly.

"Thank you for the congratulations, darling, but I'm happy you all see her as your sister-in-law. But we best be off, we're already ten minutes late." André said, looking at his watch.
"Okay, let's go." Blaise said, picking up the bag that held Megan's card and present from all of them which was a unicorn cuddly toy, a pink unicorn raincoat with her name on the back in purple lettering and matching Wellington boots. Taking hold of Andre's hand Mia shadowed towards The Burrow with the others following behind her.

***

"Wow!" Mia breathed in awe once she adjusted, a hand resting on her bump as she took in the decorated garden that was packed with their large family and a few close friends, soft music was playing just below the chatter of their friends and family and the laughter as the children played together. Molly, Arthur and Chantelle's and Elijah's parents really had outdone themselves. The party decorations had a unicorn theme as Megan loved them. There were pink, purple and turquoise balloons tied to the trees and the garden gate that had a picture of a unicorn attached to it, but looked more like the Muggle representation as it had pink, purple and turquoise flowers on its head but she knew Megan would've loved it.

There were two large tables filled with food, one with a pink table cloth, the other purple. The long, extended kitchen table was also covered in a purple tablecloth, the chairs around it had pink and purple ribbons tied on the back. The pink tablecloth had, 'Happy First Birthday Megan!' written in a purple banner on the front. The food also had a unicorn theme to it as well, as there were some unicorn styled cupcakes and a large unicorn birthday cake sat in the middle of the table. It was perfect.
"Are you okay, love?" André asked concerned. She often got a really sore back lately and tired quicker but she was okay, for now.
"I'm okay." Mia assured, a happy smile on her face as she pushed open the gate as her mates all let out a breath of relief.

"Lizzie!" Chantelle exclaimed, slowly walking over to greet them with George holding her hand and watching carefully. Elijah held Megan who had wanted to dart towards Mia as soon as she saw her, but her Daddy 'Lijah had picked her up so she didn't knock Mia over, or her mother.
"Telle!" Mia said happily, side hugging her best friend as their bumps got in their way now, much to their annoyance. "You look beautiful." She complimented, seeing her friend dressed in a dark navy, lacy dress, navy court heels, her hair in a half up style and matching makeup. George, of course, was dressed similarly to his twin while Elijah was dressed in jeans and a white shirt and brown shoes.

As for the birthday girl, she wore a beautiful white dress that turned into a pink tutu at the bottom and had the words, 'I'm one.' written in pink letters on her chest, matching tights and headband that she kept pulling off so Elijah just gave up and put it in his pocket with a kiss and a raspberry to her cheek as she giggled happily hugging him around his neck.
"As do you, Lizzie. Dobby told us about Alice, congratulations by the way I'll Floo call them later to assure them." Chantelle said, speaking to André towards the end.
"You mean I or Elijah will." George countered sternly, causing Chantelle to roll her eyes at him fondly.
"Mr and Mrs Weasley and both your parents really have outdone themselves. It looks amazing." Mia said in amazement.

"Lizzie you know Mum and Dad said you can call them by their names." George said fondly, giving her a hug.
"Make sure you take it easy today Lizzie. Don't overdo it with the other children." Elijah said concerned like a big brother, hugging her tightly and passing Megan over carefully as he greeted the others. The six of them plan to keep a close eye on their pregnant mates.
"Happy birthday Megan." Mia said happily, hugging and kissing her niece, who was playing with Mia's dress then looking to the bottom of her own in wonder. "Yes we're both wearing pink aren't we." Mia said, tickling the toddler's side making her giggle. "How're you feeling Telle?" She asked concerned, the guys talking about the frustration of building the nursery the Muggle way, (though Mia had loved it and had of course rewarded her amazing mates after dinner), their businesses, and getting tips from George and Elijah in regards to looking after a newborn.

"Exhausted and like a bloated Erumpent, I want them out already. I have a feeling I'll go into my nest soon and give birth around Christmas. I can't possibly get much bigger." Chantelle complained.
"You do not." Elijah and George argued firmly as if this was a common statement from Telle, Elijah kissing Chantelle's temple lovingly, while George wrapped his arms around her waist so she could relax against him, taking the weight off her feet a little.
"We have a present for this little cutie." Damon said, tickling Megan as he took her from Mia so she could relax against Blaise who wrapped his arms around her waist.
"Thank you but you know you didn't have to." George said gratefully.

"We've put all the presents inside, for now. Oh, Mum and Fleur have made you two baby boxes, Mia. They're in mine and Fred's old room for now, along with our ones. They have our names on them so there won't be any mix ups." George added.
"Really?" Mia asked, shocked and incredibly touched. "I better go say hello and thank you."
"That's a good idea as this little one wants to play with her uncle Damon, don't you? Yes you do." Damon said, bouncing on the spot making Megan and the others laugh at how silly he looked but none of them nor Damon cared. It was Megan's birthday and they loved seeing her laugh and essentially be a child. If there was one thing the parents and soon-to-be parents knew was they were happy for the very large and very loving family they had.
