“It’s going to be okay, Ems,” Alice soothed. Alice picked her up and set her down on the couch. Emily’s head was on Alice’s shoulder, crying into the crook of her neck.

“No it won’t!” Emily cried. “Everything’s messed up! I’ve lost him, again.” Emily cried harder, her hands on her stomach. She thought about her unborn twins and the man she let slip through her fingers again. “D-do y-you th-think he me-meant i-it?” she asked through staggered breaths.

Edward had a smirk on his face. “Of course he didn’t mean it. He was just upset. He really does love you. He knows he was stupid. He was just jealous. He’s furious at Draco and took it out on you. He knows you wouldn’t hurt him like that; he was just angry. And he doesn’t want to get back together with you because of the pregnancy; he wants you and only you. He regrets what he said and doesn’t want to lose you again.” Edward smiled at her.

“Thanks, Eddie,” Emily grinned. “You are one of the only ones I could listen to right now.”

“Anytime, Emsy,” Edward grinned. “Now, what are you still doing here?” Emmett wolf whistled and Emily giggled.

Emily ran to the back door and threw it open. “George!” she yelled. He jumped, not expecting her to come after him and whipped his head around. He stood up quickly with a shy expression on his face. He was ashamed at what he had said, how he had reacted. She ran into him, throwing her arms around his neck tightly.

“I love you,” she whispered.

“I love you too, Ems.” George wrapped his left arm around her waist and placed his right hand in her hair. He kissed her neck and forehead and then pulled her back so he could see her face. “More than you will ever know,” he whispered.

And then he kissed her. He kissed her as passionately as he ever had before, even more than fifteen minutes ago. She leaned up on her tiptoes and kissed him back. At first, all she could think about was their unborn babies, the family they would have. But all too soon, they slipped her mind. All she could think about now was George and his velvety lips that caressed hers. All her mind could register was the fact that his arms were around her and her fingers were knotted into his hair. Their mouths opened and she investigated his mouth with the tip of her tongue. His breath felt like ice in her mouth, but not icy, cold ice. It was like breath mint ice. It made her throat tingle. She smiled against his lips and he smiled back. His tongue made its way into her mouth and she allowed passage. Her hands knitted tighter into his hair. He pushed the small of her back closer to himself. His soft, voluptuous lips caressed her full ones. His fingers knotted in her hair and she sighed in satisfaction. If only there wasn’t a war going on, life would be perfect. But there was a war going on, and life wasn’t perfect. Emily pulled back and George kissed her forehead. Emily placed her head on his chest as he wrapped his arms more securely around her waist.

“I’m scared,” Emily whispered.

“Don’t be, I’ll always be there to protect you,” George vowed.

Emily’s hands went to her stomach. “I don’t want them to be born into this war,” Emily whispered.

“I know, wait—did you just say ‘them’? As in we’re having twins?” George pulled her back to look at her. She nodded and watched her husband’s face. His mouth formed a toothy grin and she smiled back. “When did you find out you were pregnant?” he asked her.

“A couple of weeks ago; I’m about four months pregnant,” Emily said.

“Who else knows?” George asked.

“The Cullens know because, well, they’re the ones that told me.”

“Why didn’t you tell me sooner?” he asked.

“I had a mission and I knew if you knew, then you wouldn’t let me go. And, I—” Emily hesitated.

“You what?” George asked.

“I didn’t know how you’d take it. I was scared,” Emily whispered.

“Baby, I’ll always be there for you. I want a family with you, Emily Weasley. Is it bad timing with the war? Yes. But I’m still happy about it. I love you so much.” George kissed her forehead and turned her around so that they were both facing the river. George rested his chin on Emily’s shoulder and put his hands on her stomach. She intertwined their fingers around her belly and looked out at the forest, the unknown.


*So, you love me again, right? And that is the end of Chapter Seven: Battles of Life. That is by far, the longest chapter EVER! The next chapter is the last chapter and then there's an epilogue.
