Thank you so much for the reviews, I'm really glad people are still reading and enjoying it. I'm really enjoying writing again and now that I have got back into things it seems to be flowing rather easily. I am probably going to start the wedding chapters very soon! Possibly even the next chapters. Sorry its short but I didn't want to drag it out for longer than I could get to flow.
Chapter 40
"Jessica". Fred's voice alerted her out of her daydream as they sat in the burrow with George and Jackie, Molly was busy in the kitchen preparing food for them all. Things had all been rather crowded since the four of them had moved back into the burrow after the Ministry had been infiltrated, an especially as none of them could work at the moment. Jessica got to her feet and took his hand, following Fred as he led them outside.
"What is it?" Her voice had been quiet and curious, worry in the pit of her stomach concerned that something was wrong. Fred led them over to the tree house in the burrow, he made his way up before holding out a hand to her to help her up.
"Join me?" Fred was quieter than usual, had they not been in hiding, he'd have done something a lot more extravagant, but well he was going to have to get used to being a lot less flamboyant about it all. He wouldn't be able to have the fireworks, or take her out dancing or traveling until all of this was all over. All Fred knew was that he wanted to marry her. Once Jessica had joined him in the treehouse, he kept her hand in his as he brushed his palm over her skin. "I love you gorgeous". He pressed his lips to hers, kissing her tenderly before he got onto one knee in front of her.
"Fred!" Jessica gasped breathlessly, her hair shinning in the small portion of sunlight that trickled through into the treehouse.
"Jessica I wanted more than anything to do this properly, but with all that is going on the only thing I want is to marry you". He slid the diamond ring onto her finger, the few emeralds that lined the gold band glistening. Tears streamed down from her eyes.
"Yes Fred I'll marry you". Jessica flung her arms around his neck, lips crashing against his as she pushed him down against the floor of the treehouse.
Jessica woke from her dream a smile on her face as she nuzzled closer against Fred's warm body, gently placing a kiss against his cheek, honestly she felt like she was in heaven.

Jackie giggled against George's lips as he rolled them over, the couple had been in a state of bliss since the last evening unable to keep their hands of each other. George started to kiss lower down her body until he heard the familiar cries, groaning into her neck he gazed down at her.
"I'll get it Jacks". He told her while climbing down from the bed.
"It's okay George, you need to get down to the shop, I'll get him". She smiled as she climbed out of bed and went to put on her robe. "I certainly don't plan on going into work on my weekend anyway…I'm not as bad as Percy".
"I don't think even Kingsley works as many hours as Percy puts in". George snorted as he threw the covers back over himself…"Better take care of this". Jackie blushed.
"Georgie!" With a shake of her head but a smile lighting up her face she went to get little Teddy up ready for the day.
"Hi Teddy!" Walking into the new nursery for Teddy, she walked over to his crib and scooped him up in her arms. Seeing his big sister and recognising her face, his hair started to change colours as Jackie showered him in kisses. "I love you Teddy". She held him close to her as she felt to see if he needed a nappy change. "Someone has a dirty bum, don't you Teddy". She laughed softly while walking him over to the changing table that they had set up. As she lay him down, Teddy just looked up at her laughing. "You think it's funny that I need to change your bum do you?" To be honest, Jackie didn't mind one bit she would do anything for her little brother, he may not be her brother by blood, but he was as close to it as ever. Remus had brought her up, he had been her father for so many years that she never thought of him as anything other than her father, even when she had learned the truth about Sirius.

Wrapping her coat around her, Jackie lay her head on George's shoulder as they made their way out of the Leaky Cauldron and into Muggle London pushing Teddy in his pram as he slept.
"Dad will be jealous". George laughed as he kept a tight hold on the pram.
"He's been before though". Jackie smiled, though she did know that wouldn't matter to Arthur.
"You know he enjoys every opportunity he can get though babe". George looked down at her before checking in the pram.
"I know, still though if we had asked him to come then we wouldn't be able to find him the perfect gift would we". Jackie carefully tucked Teddy in more to keep him both warm and safe. The young couple attracting quite a bit of attention as muggles tried to peer inside for a glimpse of the baby.
"Hopefully his hair won't change this evening…Wouldn't want anyone to witness any underage magic would we". George laughed speaking in a whisper in her ear. Jackie laughed softly in response, though the idea did trouble her somewhat.
"Nothing we won't be able to handle".
"We can handle anything together". George brought his fiancee closer, he didn't mind this at all. The idea of one day having their own family filling him with warmth, though at the pit of his stomach he felt sadness, knowing that they should be here with their little bludger, their little boy who was now in heaven with his grandparents and those who had given their life to protect the world from Voldemort.
