“Thank you both so much for coming over,” Hermione said, offering a smile to both Charlie and Bill. She poured them each a cup of tea and then prepared it the way that she knew that both of them liked it. “Sorry I was sort of… panicked.”
Charlie looked at her nervously. “Are you okay, Hermione? You said you wanted to talk, but I’m interested to see what you need both of us for.” He cast a glance at Bill.
Hermione looked down at her cup of tea. She swirled her spoon around, trying to decide how she wanted to tell Bill and Charlie the news. Her stomach felt like it was full of lead.
“Hermione? Sweetheart?” he pressed and when she remained silent, he looked at Bill for help.
“Hermione, tell us what’s going on,” Bill encouraged her gently.
She took a deep breath. “I don’t know how it happened… But I’m pregnant.” She looked at Charlie and Bill, taking her lower lip between her teeth as she waited for his response. She knew she needed to explain the situation, but she couldn’t find the words.
“Wow, really?” Charlie asked, eyes wide in surprise. “How far along are you?” He glanced at her still-flat stomach. “Merlin, that’s fantastic!”
“I’m not sure… I only just found out this morning, but I wanted to tell you both because I didn’t want to keep it a secret. You both know I’ve casually been seeing both of you…” She blushed. “I… I’m not sure which one of you is the father.” She waited for the disgust to set in… Or the anger. How could she not know which one of them was the father? In her mind, it didn’t matter, but would it matter to them?
“Hermione, love, I think that’s great news,” Bill said softly.
“You do?” she asked in surprise. She looked at Charlie and saw that he was wearing a similar, excited facial expression.
“Well, yeah. I’m falling in love with you, Hermione, and I want a future with you.” He reached over and took her hand in his and gave it a squeeze.
“And I want the same thing, if you’ll have us both,” Charlie offered. “I don’t mind your relationship with Bill, because I know it doesn’t make you love me any less. So, regardless of who’s baby it is, I think I’m speaking for both of us when I say we’ll be there if you’ll have us.”
Hermione sniffled, tears pricking the corners of her eyes.
“Are you okay?” Bill pressed.
“What do you want, Hermione?” Charlie added. “How are you feeling about all of this?”
“I was just so worried,” she admitted. “I wasn’t sure how either of you would take it.”
“Regardless of how we feel, what do you want?” Charlie pressed.
“To raise my child with both of you, however that looks like.” She bit her lip nervously. “I mean, either way, we’ve got a little Weasley in here.” Her eyes widened as she just thought of something. “Merlin, your mother!”
Bill laughed. “Oh, she’s going to have a field day with this.”
Charlie scooted closer and pulled her into his arms. “Don’t worry, Hermione, I’ll protect you from our mum.”
“I don’t think there’s any force on this earth that could protect me from your mother.”
“I think you’re right,” Bill said, laughing. He smiled warmly at her. “But we’ll figure it out, one step at a time.”
Hermione nodded, feeling comforted by both of their words. Everything would be okay. It would all work out.
“Hermione, love, you should go back to bed.” Charlie came up behind Hermione, wrapping his arms around her waist. He hugged her, nuzzling her neck. “Rosie isn’t even crying yet.”
“I know, but she was stirring and I’m sure she’ll be wanting a bottle shortly,” Hermione countered, unable to pull herself away from their baby.
Charlie turned her around so she was facing him. “Hermione, love, go join Bill in bed. I’ll feed Rosie and change her.”
“Don’t forget to burp her!” she whispered in panic.
“I won’t,” Charlie said with a small promise. “Let me take care of our daughter.”
“Okay,” she murmured, knowing that he was right and she needed some sleep. Pressing a kiss to his lips, she turned and headed towards the Master Bedroom. Right before Rosie had been born, Charlie and Bill had insisted on moving in with her. Their separate relationships had merged into some type of triadic bond. She loved them both dearly, and she knew they both loved her deeply in return. Their situation worked for all of them.
Her daughter had a family that was full of love and kindness, and that was all Hermione ever wanted for her. Stopping in front of the bedroom, she took a deep breath.
Opening the door, she saw that Bill was waiting for her in their large bed. He stirred, sitting up slightly when he realized she was in the doorway. “Come here, love,” he murmured sleepily, reaching out for her.
“Sorry if Charlie and I woke you,” Hermione said, coming closer and sliding into bed.
Bill pulled her close, nuzzling against her. “I woke up when Charlie slipped out of bed to go find you.”
“Rosie was stirring,” Hermione explained, feeling guilty for being out of bed.
“Charlie can take care of her. And I’ll take the next round. Rest, Hermione, you do plenty for her.” Bill pressed a kiss to her forehead.
“I love you, Bill.”
“I love you, too,” he said, kissing her tenderly. “Now, get some sleep, love. You need it.”
Warm in his arms, Hermione let herself relax. She couldn’t fully fall asleep until she felt Charlie slide into the bed next to her. He scooted closer, pressing against her back
“Love you, Char,” she murmured tiredly.
“Love you too, sweetheart.”
Closing her eyes, she drifted off into bliss, thankful to have her two wizards in her life. One step at a time, they would handle whatever came their way – as a family.
