Sammy was once again at her family’s house and it was better that way for the day. She needed to talk to Benji alone, Benji would know what to do right? He had always been there for her, even when the two of them broke up they were still both their for each other and Georgina was glad to have a friend like Benji. He could help her through this, and if he couldn’t…. She wasn’t sure that anyone else could. Sure Sammy was her best friend too, but she couldn’t worry Sammy over something like this, that’d be another Holyhead Harpy player in the state of worrisome. She wondered if her teammates had noticed this on her while at practice that day. She tried her best to put on a smile in front of the girls, they were going to the Quidditch World cup after all and she couldn’t let something like this get to her. But she knew that was wrong… it would get to her and she just hoped that it wouldn’t affect their chances at the World Cup Match. Sighing softly she held the small white stick that she had in her hand, the ones that muggles used to test if they were pregnant and there it was… that small little pink plus sign telling her exactly what she wish wasn’t true… She was pregnant and there was no doubt who the father was… She had ended up sleeping with Seyton just before Christmas and the last person before that was Benji and that was four and a half years ago… Soon she heard soft footsteps outside; she stopped glancing out as the snow lightly fell to the ground. Hadn’t it been snowing the day Seyton was over? She shook her head trying hard not to remember the that night. A huge mistake she had made and now it was time for the after effects. What was she to do? She knew that she would never get rid of the baby… It just wasn’t like her to do that… But this probably meant that the man she had been trying to avoid for years was about to be in her life so very much more. tag: benji notes: template by eliza @ shadowplay

benji couldn't claim to not be a busy guy. though it had been easier for people to become aurors since the second wizarding war, the rules on them had been lowered to not be so strict, there still was a lot of work for the few honored with the title to go through. especially since the attacks at hogwarts, specifically the one where one of the eldest weasley children was petrified, things in the auror office had been rather busy and chaotic. benji himself had been really uneasy since what seemed like an outbreak of attacks on students at the school, more than the simple fights that came often when you lumped hormonal teenagers together. lyra was still at that school for another five months, and as long as the attacks were unsolved benji was more than uncomfortable with her at the school. there was no way he'd pull her out of her education, even if she would allow him to, but he was allowed to worry about his little sister's safety.

however busy he was, though, there was definitely one person he would always make time for. hell, he could probably be dying and he would still take valuable hours out of his last few days to go to be at her side. so, of course, when the owl had arrived with her letter asking him to meet with her as soon as possible, he'd shifted around his schedule, got a friend to cover his shifts with the promise that he'd repay him, and set off to his ex-girlfriend's house.

what was so urgent he couldn't really imagine... but from the sounds of it she needed him. what kind of a bastard friend would he be if he turned her down? besides, he missed her. their lives kept them busy and apart other than their little letters and their time spent together over the holidays (which had been great because he'd seen her for the first time in months), but he wished that they could have more contact than a meeting every few months.

he apparated in front of her house, a building almost as familiar to him as his own from their days when dating, and hurried up the steps to her front door. he paused for a moment, debating knocking on the door or ringing the doorbell, and then just placed his hand on the handle and pushed his way inside. angel was expecting him, and they were comfortable enough around each other that he guessed she wouldn't have a problem with it. "georgie? you here?" he called as he stepped inside, closing the door behind him.

[/color]” she exclaimed as she held tight onto him. Oh if only hugs could fix the situation she was in now. She really wished it was something easy to fix, and knew that indeed it would never be. How was she to know that letting Seyton enter that house that day would lead to this? She didn’t… She had planned on only letting him explain himself and then she’d kick him out. But no, it had been the exact opposite… he had carried her up to her room and they…well let’s just say a baby is coming out of it.

“Oh Benji I’m so glad you could make it out here today,[/color]” she said as she let go of him, standing perhaps less than a foot from him. He still looked the same as the last time she saw him. But then ago, it had only been a few months since she last saw him. Though how she wish she could see him more… But now she had to tell him the news… the news that would change her life forever. If anyone knew what she should do in this situation, it would be Benji. She couldn’t go to her parents, no they probably wouldn’t be happy if she had a kid and wasn’t even in a relationship… She was even scared to tell her own parents.

benji didn't even have any time to let his eyes pick out the beautiful chaser before she was a blur racing towards him, and a moment later her figure was pressed tight against his as her arms wrapped around him in a hug. the auror instinctively returned it, encircling her with his strong arms, holding her close. why the tightness of the hug he didn't know, but he was all too happy to return it. “Benji, you’re here!” "in the flesh," he chuckled, slowly rubbing her back comfortingly. she seemed stressed for some reason, more than the holyhead harpies captain usually was. something was eating on her mind, and that thing, he figured, was probably why she had called him here today.

“Oh Benji I’m so glad you could make it out here today,” he let his arms fall from their places around her as she stepped back, a warm smile on his lips as he looked at her. "nothing can keep me away from my favourite quidditch player when she needs me," he had no delusions about his feelings for georgie. he cared for her far more than he should after years of being broken up and 'just friends'. it was an issue that was never openly addressed between them... he wasn't even sure if georgie realized it, and if she didn't he wasn't about to be the one to bring them into the open. he'd just wait for them to eventually fade... or for something more to come out of them. whichever came first. he wouldn't risk losing georgie's friendship over a very stubborn crush that stuck around long past its welcome date.

relaxed as always around her, the auror moved past her, making his way to the living room of the house and plopping down on one of the couches. "sit, georgie. stay a while," he teased, inviting her to sit down near him. "now, what's going on?"

But today she was panicking and even him saying those words didn’t even calm her down at all. But of course she was very glad he was there, it made her feel a bit better with him there, made it a bit easier to realize the situation she was in. “sit, georgie. stay a while,” He was right, she should probably sit down. She sat down, taking a deep breath as she tried to clear her mind. “now, what's going on?” How should she start? A lot was going on! “Benji… I-… I-… I’m pregnant…

[/color]” she said quickly at the end after stuttering a bit. She closed her eyes, afraid to see Benji’s reaction. She knew it wouldn’t be as bad as the reaction when she would tell him who the father was… She wanted him to get over the part that she’s pregnant. And then… She knew he would probably reprimand her for who the father was. He knew the story of what happened between her and Seyton, and if he knew that she actually let him in and then… Yeah she knew he wasn’t going to be happy.

while some might argue that if benji truly knew georgie as well as he thought he did they never would have broken up in the first place, he felt that he knew the beautiful quidditch player well enough that he could tell when something was wrong, and something certainly was. where was the warm smile he always expected to see grace her lips when he saw her? where was that little twinkle in her eyes that always greeted him? something was definitely wrong. she was far too serious for benji's liking, and it really tended to make him a bit nervous. had he done something to piss her off? the auror found himself wracking his brain for what he could have possibly done to upset her... they'd had so little face to face contact lately it was hard to tell what exactly he could have done, but then maybe their lack of contact was what was making her upset.

“benji… i-… i-… i’m pregnant…" okay. yeah. so that was pretty much the last words he'd expected to hear her say. he waited for her to grin, to push his arm and say that he shouldn't be so gullible, but the words never came and he was stuck staring at her wide eyed. that was not like georgie. well, not as far as he knew... she wasn't the type for one night stands at the bar, and she wasn't in a relationship. at least, not one that she'd told him about, though him being the ex he supposed he could understand if she kept such information away from him because it would be 'too awkward'. the auror ran his hand through his hair, trying to find his voice so that he could give her an understandable response. "you... georgie, how? i- i mean, okay, so obviously i know how, but... who?" there was a feeling in his chest that he was trying to ignore because it had no place being there right now. georgie was not his girlfriend. she had not been for a very long time, and he knew that. there was no reason he should feel betrayed right now.

She knew for sure that Benji was not going to like what she was about to tell him next… After all that had happened, somehow… somehow Seyton was now the father of her unborn child. Why was she so careless letting her teenage years catch up with her when Seyton showed up in her house? All that love back then had all of the sudden came rushing to her out of nowhere and now… she was pregnant. “It’s… It’s…

[/color]” she stammered for a moment, half afraid to say it out loud as if it would completely make it official. Now that was a silly thought, she already knew it was official… But… it was a hard one to really think that it was. “Seyton’s the father….[/color]” she managed to say before hanging her head low. What would Benji think? Was he mad? Furious? Confused? She wasn’t going to quite say how it happened… She didn’t think she could… after she had told herself that she should stay away from Seyton, she did the exact opposite! She really shouldn’t have…
