Prologue

Lizzie's P.O.V
9 years earlier

"I don't know how you do it."

A small laugh rolled off my lips but instead of looking at Kathleen, I kept my eyes on the little girl in my arms. So sweet and so beautiful.

"Have you got a name for her yet?"

"Veronica." I said, brushing my hand over my newborn daughters head. "Veronica Elise Weasley."

"That's beautiful." Deanne told me. "Fits right in with all your other children."

I pressed a kiss to my daughter's forehead as I rocked her gently in my arms. George had gone to get our other children so they could meet their little sister.

"She's the last one." I said. "That's for sure."

"You said that after having the twins." Deanne laughed softly.

"I think you even said it after Roxanne." Kathy said. "And that was four children ago."

"This time I mean it." I said. "We don't have room for more. I don't really want another floor on top of the one we added when we had the twins."

"Can I kiss her?" Lexi asked as she jumped off her mothers lap and walked over to the side of the bed where I was laying.

"Why don't you jump up here?" I smiled. "So you don't have to lean over."

She crawled onto the bed and I made room for her to lay next to me. She reminded me so much of her father. When I looked at her eyes, I saw him. She was a mix between him and Deanne. If just he could see her. If just he knew he was going to be a father.

While Veronica laid in my arms, Lexi wrapped her arm around her and leaned down to kiss her on the lips.

"Is she my cousin?" Lexi asked and looked up at me. I chuckled and shook my head gently.

"She's actually both your cousin and your second-cousin."

"What do you mean?"

"Well, Lex.. your mother is my cousin, right? And your father was uncle George's brother." I said. "What's important is that she's family."

"And we love family." she said.

"That's right, Lex." Deanne said with a smile. "We love family."

A lot of things has happened since the war ended. It's been nine years and I've had six kids since then. Seven months after the war ended, I found out I was already a month pregnant. We had my first child on August 19th of 1999. It was hard because Fred wasn't there but we ended up naming our son after both him and my own brother.

Fred Benjamin Weasley.

Then in December, I found out that once again I was a month pregnant and the year after on August 7th of 2000, we had our daughter Roxanne Elizabeth Weasley.

We actually then in September, we planned another baby though we had already agreed to not have any more for a while. We just realised we wanted our children to be close together in age since that was something George adored, growing up. We found out we were expecting twins and on July 11th of 2001, we first welcomed a little girl that we named Genevieve Blakely Weasley and a few minutes later, her brother Sammy Dillon Weasley came out. I gave birth vaginally to the both of them so you can say I'm kind of a saint. Having two babies slide out of your vaginally with only minutes apart? I deserve a crown. Then I said I didn't want more babies and George agreed..

Seventeen months later, I got pregnant and on September 26th of 2003, we had another son that we decided to call Bryson Brooklyn Weasley. Funnily enough, we had forgot how much we loved babies and we wanted another one. We didn't feel like our family was complete, though when we tried to have another one the year later, we had a hard time getting pregnant.

We had almost given up when I in March this year got pregnant again. I was due on December 30th but I gave birth to Veronica Elise Weasley yesterday on Christmas Eve. When she came out and George and I sat with her, we looked at each other and we both knew that she was the final piece. She was what completed our family.

"Look!" I heard George gasp in the door as he stood surrounded by all of our kids. From eight-year-old Fred to four-year-old Bryson. Genevieve was on his arm. My six-year-old girl. She has always been daddy's girl and he's got a soft spot for her so he carries her whenever she wants and she knows it and uses it to her advantage. She's a smart girl. "That's your new sister. Who wants to meet her first?"

"Me!" Roxanne raised a hand as she jumped to get his attention but at the same time, Sammy mocked her actions.

"Lexi?" Deanne called. "Why don't you come here so that your cousins can meet their little sister?"

Lexi jumped off the bed and ran over to her mother as George put down Genevieve on the bed and then carried Bryson onto it as he had been holding his hand. Fred jumped onto the bed as well and I had to shush him gently due to all the noise he was making.

"Think we can make room for five kids?" George asked with a smile. He teased the remaining children on the floor, pointing on them individually to see who he was going to pick.

They all loved when he picked them up, especially when he played airplane with them. George ended up picking up both Roxanne and Sammy at the same time, making them laugh their tiny butts off.

I laughed at all of the fuss, watching my kids crawl around to make room for themselves while arguing like siblings does.

"Guys." I smiled. "Get sorted. Sit."

They did what I told them to and George sat on the edge of the bed as I handed him Veronica. He smiled down at her before he moved closer to the children to introduce her.

This is what I always wanted. My own family. My own husband and my own children. This was happiness. If just my mum could be here. If just Benjamin could be here. If just... if just Fred could be here too.
