Summary: Molly Weasley is expecting her sixth child and after having five boys, she is praying for a girl.
Title: Sixth Time Is The Charm or Is It?
After having five sons, Molly Weasley was pregnant once again. She loved her boys dearly, although her one and a half year old twins were very trying at times, but she longed for a girl.
She just knew that this time she would get her little girl. The sixth time was the charm.
With this in mind, she set to work making and buying little dainty dresses . She even went as far as deciding to paint the nursery pink but her husband, Arthur, talked her out of it.
The more that she spent getting the nursery ready, the more that she was convinced that she was having a little girl. Molly refused to even think of boys’ names instead thinking of names such Rose and Marigold.
At long last the time had come to meet her little girl. After what seemed like endless hours of white-hot pain, Molly finally heard the cry of her little girl. She turned smiling at Arthur who was looking at the crying infant.
“Is she beautiful?” She asked.
To her shock, Arthur didn’t reply. He got up off of Molly’s bed and exchanged looks with Molly’s midwife. The midwife gently passed the little baby into Arthur’s arms. He cooed at the baby before turning to Molly with a grave expression.
“It’s another boy. I’m sorry, Molly. I know how much you wanted a girl but here we have a healthy little boy who needs you.”
He gently bent down and passed the baby into Molly’s waiting arms. As she saw the little red face with a little tuft of fierce red hair on his little head, her heart melted.
“But we didn’t think of names for boys.” Molly cried. She regretted her obsession with having a little girl. She wasn’t a good mother.
Arthur smiled at her and the baby. “I thought of boy names for the both of us. I was thinking that we could use Bilius after my brother. Give the boy a good love of life to start his life with.”
Molly looked down at the sleeping baby who wrinkled his little nose in response. She laughed, none of her other boys had that reaction to a name before.
“I like it. But for a second name-I don’t want him to be teased especially by his twin brothers.”
Arthur nodded. “I also liked the name Ronald.”
Molly said “Ronald Bilius Weasley. It sounds like a strong name doesn’t it? Welcome to the world, Ron.”
She cuddled Ron to her, enjoying having his warm weight in her arms.
And just over sixteen months later, Molly finally got her little girl- Ginevra Molly Weasley.
