He would pick her up and carry her over the threshold, but that's for newlyweds.

He would bring her tea and sandwiches, but he suspects she's not hungry.

He would shower her with kisses.

"No, shut up a moment."

And she pulls his head down and fits their mouths together, pouring herself into him, and one leg comes up to curl over his lap. When she pulls back, she dives back in with a much softer, shorter kiss. Then a kiss to both his eyelids. Fleur finally leans back and wraps her arms around his neck.

"It waz Valentine'z day. I think. I mean, we have to do all the official testz and thingz to know more exact thingz. But."

She looks down at her belly.

"...Merlin. There iz someone in there."

She hasn't poked it yet. She's still a bit afraid to because that makes it real.

Get used to it. ...that I could think of what to say if they ever hated me because I gave him--her--them my bloodline." She looks up and into his eyes. "There iz someone in there. We put them there. I will, I will be all right."

"I will juste whine about it. Often." She offers a half smile.

There's something about the mere thought of a tiny helpless being in there that gives him pause. Since his two youngest siblings were born, he's always had an unapologetic desire to have a family of his own but when Fleur said she never wanted children, his love for her overshadowed that unapologetic desire
