Bun in the oven -- Summer 1999

Elena and I had been talking for a couple of weeks about the way we were feeling.  We decided that we should both go get checked out together since our minds were going crazy with ideas.  Of course, the first thing we both sort of suspected was pregnancy, but no need getting the twins worked up if it was just something like a summer cold or something.  We hung out quite often nowadays... so it would not be surprising if we gave each other something.  "Now we have to try not to get too excited about the possibilities," I said, even though I was really hoping I was pregnant and I suspected that Lenni would be feeling the same.

I nodded in agreement, " Yeah, we don't want to get our hopes up." I said with a smile as I hoped we were almost bouncing with anticipation. Knowing they were at the burrow while we waited in the hospital. " I am getting tired of waiting though." I said looking at the time. I was sure we have been here longer than what it seemed. " I can't help wonder..." I said looking over to her as I stretched. I had wanted chocolate so bad. " You know, I kind of want chocolate....what about you?" I asked. If she wanted some I could whip us up some. Then getting sick of the idea, " Ou, there is one thing we could go for....poutine?" I asked. " It is a delicious food." I explained. " Fries, gravy and cheese."

I laughed and I could see the anticipation in her eyes and we both had to be thinking the same thing.  "Ooh, that does sound good... I'm really craving this mousse pie that my mum makes... it had chocolate and peanut butter and whipped cream..." This was horrible.  I looked at Lenni and laughed.  "I think we may be answering our own questions about what is going on..."  I really didn't want to get our hopes up, but there was now way we could not be.  I mean... if people listened to us right now... we were kind of being ridiculous with food.

" Oh that sounds so good." I laughed, " I think we may...." I paused as a healer entered the room and called for Jada and I. " We'll find out." I said as I wished her luck as I went into the room across the hall from Jada. I walked in and the healer closed the door behind me.

I looked to the healer, " So, after the tests you can tell me why I have been feeling this way?" I asked and she nodded and explained that it would be the way it worked. So she started on the tests and finished by taking a blood sample. She told me she would be right back. This would be the longest time, " hurry up." George would laugh and call me impatient.

I laughed at Lenni and shook my head.  "Calm down," I teased, even though I was unable to stand still.  "We are so going to have to have Molly make us something amazing when we get back to the Burrow," I added, knowing that whatever she would make would appease any type of craving we had.  I just wanted to know for sure.  I really did want to be pregnant... I always wanted to be a mother.

I nodded, " Oh yeah.....hopefully poutine." I said with a laugh as the healer walked back in. I stood up, " So?" I asked as she seemed to be taking her time. Get on with it already. Jeez. I sat back down and started to make my leg jump nervously.

I had to agree with Lenni.  Maybe we should send word so she could just make exactly what we wanted.  While I pondered that idea, the healer came in and my mind focused on her.  "Seriously?  What's the verdict?" I asked her, staying standing.  I guess I was a little impatient as well.  She barely walked through the door and we bombarded her.  When her face broke into a smile, I felt mine drop open a little bit. 

"You both will become mothers in about eight months time," she said to the two of us.

I froze, really. " Really?" I said with a grin coming on my face. I couldn't believe it. Well, I could I just didn't think we would be right now. I took the Healer in a hug, " Thanks!" I said happily as I looked to Jada who seemed to have the same expression. " So, that explains it!"

The healer left us and I looked over at Elena.  "I can't believe it!  I am so excited!" I said, thinking how awesome this was.  I felt bad for the guys though... Addison was already four or five months along... and now Lenni and I were pregnant.  This was going to be ridiculous.  But I was really excited because it meant our kids would all probably end up in the same year and I loved that idea.

I pulled Jada into a hug. " I can't believe this!" I said happily. Now, we get to go back to the Burrow and tell George and Fred. " I can't wait to tell them. " I said as I knew they would both be ecstatic.

"This is going to be great!  Everyone is going to bombard us," I said, laughing knowing how family events with the Weasley clan always turned out.  "We're going to have to get Fred and George alone to tell them first... then the rest of the family.  Do we want to tell them together?"  I asked.  The twins did everything together... so this actually was quite fitting.

Smiling, " We totally should tell them both at the same time." I said as I agreed with her. They did everything together. So it just fit them like a glove. " Oh yeah, we're going to get bombarded...but I think Molly already knows. " I said as I put my cloak on. " Then we need to tell our parents that they're going to be grandparents. " I said as I could not get rid of the smile on my face. Until, I tossed my bag to Jada as I ran to the washroom. It lasted a few minutes but I was done and rinsed out my mouth and walked out of the bathroom. " I don't like that part." I said with a smile. As we left towards the burrow to tell George and Fred.
