She'd begun to suspect it even before her missed period, but that had more or less confirmed it. Still, she hadn't wanted to bring it up without at least confirming it, and setting an appointment at St. Mungo's had been more or less out of the question. She'd been impossibly busy of late, something she knew that she and George shared considering all the work he and his brother had put into getting the store off the ground again after its grand reopening.
So she'd decided to get creative. They'd already begun to decorate their flat above the store for the season, but one of her reasons for their putting up the tree as early as they did was, inarguably, her plan to surprise him. Not being able to schedule an appointment during her non-work hours had meant that she'd resorted, in this case, to getting a muggle pregnancy test-- or three-- to tide them over at least until her first prenatal exam and get her a confirmation of her suspicions.
And when all three tests turned out to be positive-- all of them fashioned with a small view window that read pregnant or not pregnant depending on the results-- she'd taken one, wrapped it up as a present, and placed it under the tree for George.
"You know," she started, carrying their tea over to the dining room table as she cast a glance over to the tree, "I think I saw something under there for you already."
