Okay so Romione being parents
Hermione does everything very by the book with Rose (she brings a quill and notepad to her Healer appointments)
When she gets pregnant with Hugo she takes more advice from her mum and goes about it more the Muggle way because she could tell how left out her mum felt with Rose
They’d always planned for kids but weren’t exactly /expecting/ Rose, so there was a bit of a panic over who would put their career on hold to raise her. Ron volunteers without too much fuss– he enjoys being an Auror, but he doesn’t have the same passion for his work as Hermione and everyone knows it
But he develops a habit of dropping by her floor “just to make sure you’re not working too hard ‘Mione, and are you sure you remembered to take your vitamin potions this morning, you really have to keep your strength up, you know the Healer said the last trimester is the hardest!”
Hermione orders Harry to take Ron out of the room for the first few hours of her labor because “it’s not bad at all yet and dear Merlin Ronald that pacing is driving me up the wall no I don’t want anymore goddamn ice!”
It’s not much better with Hugo’s birth you’d think he’d learn
Ron loves staying home and playing with his kids but the monotony of never leaving the house is also sort of driving him up a wall so he learns to cook and they stop subsisting on take out and one day George sends him something from the shop to tinker around with
Ron reads them bedtime stories for like two hours every night
Is he supposed to just ignore Rose asking, “One mo, pease Daddy?” with her bottom lip stuck out and her eyes pleading with him in exactly Hermione’s shade of brown?
He has different voices for all the characters and is in high demand for story time at any of the family get togethers
Hermione is actually really jealous at how good he is with their kids
They’ve fought about it multiple times
It really only resolved itself with Hermione breaking down in tears and confessing “I just don’t know how to be a mother, what if my children never love me, what’s wrong with me?” to Harry who reassures her awkwardly and advises her to share it with Ron as well
Rose at a hint from her father and uncle asks Hermione to read a bedtime story that night
Rose and Hugo both go to Muggle primary school, and Ron has a few slip ups during parent teacher conferences
“It’s nice that you’re encouraging Hugo’s imagination, Mr. Weasely, but do you really think it’s fair to him to insist that dragons are real?”
Hermione gets a call later to verify Ron’s sanity
They’d always discussed having a third child but shortly after Hugo’s birth Hermione gets transferred into Magical Law and after that it never seemed like the right time
Ron’s hugely overprotective in the abstract but he’s also the one that tried teach his three year old daughter the Sloth Grip Roll but that doesn’t have anything to do with her slight but persistent fear of flying
Rose is a huge Daddy’s girl and can get Ron to agree to almost anything but Hugo’s the best at coming up with ways to convince their Mum
When each one leaves for Hogwarts for the first time, Hermione’s the crier but Ron gets all moody and huffs around for days because the house just feels too empty without their little hellions
