After Fleur was sleeping, Bill put Gigi down into the cot the Healer indicated. He kissed her cheek and touched her hand once more before he left the room. He took a few minutes in the hall to collect himself. It had taken hours, but it also felt like it had happened so quickly that he wasn't able to really comprehend that he was a father now ( ... )

Molly watched her eldest son enter the waiting room. He looked tired but happy and she resisted the urge to do a little dance. A girl! She would have been happy with a boy as well, but girls were so rare in the Weasley family. She hugged him tight, kissing his cheeks.

"Congratulations, Bill," she said, her eyes glistening with happy tears. "I'd love to come meet my granddaughter." She picked up her handbag. "I brought sandwiches, tea and pumpkin juice if you need anything. And I'll leave a sandwich for Fleur. I'm sure she'll be hungry when she wakes up. Gigi. I'm sure she's going to be a little wonder."

"You didn't have to bring food, Mum. There canteen here isn't that bad," he pointed out. "Fleur will appreciate the thought, I'm sure. She'll probably be hungry when she wakes up. Right now, she needs some rest. It's been a long morning."

He walked her back to Fleur's room and stepped inside. "She's over here." He led his mum over to the cot where Gigi was lying. She was still awake, but she'd quieted down some from earlier. He carefully picked her up and held her against him. "Gigi, this is your grandmum. Mum, meet Gigi."

Molly shooed Bill's protests away with her hand. "Nonsense. You're parents now and you'll need your strength. And poor Fleur will need plenty of rest."

Molly followed Bill into the room, looking over at her sleeping daughter-in-law before seeing her granddaughter. She felt herself tear up again at the sight of the tiny baby in her son's arms.

"Hello Gigi," she said quietly. "Oh Bill, she's beautiful. I'm so proud of you, son. You're going to make a wonderful father. You're going to be such a happy girl, Gigi," she said to her granddaughter, touching her little fingers gently, "because you have such incredible parents, and me and your grandpa and your grandmere and grandpere and all your uncles and aunties. And we're all going to love you so much."

"Yes, she is," he agreed, unable to stop smiling as he held the squirming bundle that was his daughter. "Noisy and active already, so we know she's definitely like us other Weasleys."

He wasn't sure if he'd be a good father or not, but he was going to try. He figured that was part of it, trying as much as he could and not being scared to make mistakes. Only, he hated making mistakes, so that was something he'd have to deal with personally.

"I've sent an owl to Fleur's parents, but I'm not sure when they'll arrive. I'm glad that you're here, you and dad and the others. I need to send Ginny an owl now that Gigi is here, but it'll probably be later."

"I wonder if she'll have red hair. Or blonde. Maybe she'll be a lovely strawberry blonde," Molly mused, "with darling freckles on her nose."

"I'm sure they'll get here soon. And don't rush yourself, love. You need to rest up too. Remember if you and Fleur need anything, anything at all, you can always get in touch with me or your father and we'll be glad to help. I can look after little Gigi if you two just need to take a nap or have some alone time. It's no hassle at all."

"Guess we'll find out in time," he said, though he didn't care if her hair was red or blonde or striped. She was beautiful however she was.

"I've been resting all day. All I could do was sit and wait, after all." He nodded. "I know, Mum. I might need to ask for you to help Fleur when I have to go back to work. I'm not sure yet how long she'll stay off work, but, knowing Fleur, she's got everything planned already."

He was hesitant to ask, but he knew it was selfish if he didn't. "Did you want to hold her?"

rar_molly September 28 2008, 19:11:41 UTC

"Yes, but you weren't really resting were you?" Molly said knowingly. "Waiting is different then resting, love. I think you'll find you need some sleep later on."

She nodded "Whatever you need. Just let me know." She beamed when he asked if she'd like to hold Gigi and held out her arms.

"Hello my darling," she cooed, when Bill had passed her over. She looked down into the face of her little granddaughter and felt such happiness that she'd not felt since before the war, since Fred had died.
