she'd taken three tests, just to be sure. the 'diagnosis' made sense. the morning sickness especially should have been the obvious sign, and it was the one that had pushed her to take the tests, but when the first one was done she just couldn't believe the result, and when the second came up with the same she had been sure that both tests had been faulty. three could not be argued, though. either the manufacturer of the tests deserved to be sued, or she was very much pregnant.
she didn't know what to think. she didn't know what to do. it was as though she had been in a trance when she'd, almost immediately, sent an owl to teddy, telling him to come to her tiny apartment in london as soon as he was off of work which, by her clock, should be in about ten minutes time. afterwards she'd frozen, sat back, and wonder if she should have sent the letter so quickly at all. she loved him, they were engaged, but a baby so soon? they were a long way off from talk of a family yet. hell, they hadn't even set the date for their wedding. what would her family think? her siblings think? she'd always tried to be the responsible one, she had a great promising career, and now this curve ball?
finally the pacing ended, victoire falling to the couch in the living room, curling her knees up to her chest in what she had always found to be the most comfortable position, whether she was stressed of not. she hugged her knees close and closed her eyes, taking deep breaths. one step at a time. first teddy needed to find out, and they they could figure all of this out... together, as they would be for the rest of their lives.

teddy closed the door behind him and he held on tight to the leash in his hand. on the end of that leash was the five month old german shepherd that teddy had bout when he'd been a small pup. he hadn't gone into london with the intent of getting a dog, but he'd walked out with the small pup and taken him home. he'd been a great dog, he was a pup so he chewed, but teddy thought it was good practice for when him and vic started talking about kids. it wasn't like he was planning kids for a while yet, he wanted to be comfortable with a great job, a solid house, well he had the great house, he loved his little cottage, most people opted for the apartments in diagon alley, but he liked this place, it was quiet, he could think, and there was room for him ro run the pup. he'd called the dog lupus, no idea why, he just had, liked the name, it was like his last name he guessed. someone like him.
the walk to vic's was long, but it was enjoyable, he liked walking. he didnt know why most people opted to apparate everywhere. well more to it he didnt see the point. they had legs idnt they, they could get around, he had a car too, he was still in touch with muggle people he'd met, had friends in both worlds, so he needed modes of transport. he grinned as the dog pulled on the leash and he shook his head. "slow down lupe" he said as he ruffled the pups ears and he grinned a bit. e reached down to ruffle the dogs ears as they walked. he was thinking his life was working out good, he had the job he'd always wanted, the girl he'd always dreamed of, the family he'd always loved around, and he had his house, his dog, now he was getting married. he grinned at the thought as he walked up to vic's door.
he bent to tale take the lead off the pups collar and he opened the door to vic's house. grinning he stepped inside and watched the pup race toward the living room. guessing that's where vic was he headed in that direction. "so vic i was thinking about going out for something to eat?" he said as he walked into the lounge. he saw her and a frown came on his face quickly. he moved to her and he crouched in front of the couch. "vicky?" he said as he shifted to slip his hand onto her cheek gently, stroking her cheek with his thumb he glanced at her, worry in his eyes as lupus jumped up onto the couch next to her and licked her hands gently. he glanced at the dog and he looked back at her. "vick talk to me love" he said gently, chewing his lip he looked at her.
- - * lupus

she heard the door open, the clinking of a collar as a furry four legged creature raced into the room... but remained still, eyes closed for a long moment until she heard a voice. "so vic i was thinking about going out for something to eat?" the witch slowly opened her eyes, turning her head to look at teddy, though her body kept its clenched posture, as though her legs were protecting and safeguarding her stomach and the tiny human growing within, to small to give any sign but her health at the moment.
"vicky?" she forced a small smile on her lips, shifting slightly on the couch to that she was more facing him as he sat crouched on the ground. she was worrying him, and she felt terrible for it. he shouldn't be worried. she was okay, right? a slightly nervous laugh was given out as lupas jumped up on the couch, wasting no time in giving her hands gentle kisses, as though he could sense her mood as well as his master could. "vick talk to me love" she shifted again, letting her legs stretch out on the couch and down to the ground, hands folded over her stomach loosely. "i... i'm fine," she tried to assure her fiance, a small smile on her lips. "i just... um... i guess i have some news- i mean, i do have some news." she paused, waiting a few moments, looking away until her eyes switched back to his face a split moment before the words finally fell from her mouth. "i'm pregnant." [/style] |

he shifted slightly when she moved to lower her legs to the ground. shaking his head he looked at her, saw her hands fold across her stomach and he made to take them gently, his fingers hooked over hers gently as he squeezed her hands. he was starting to wonder if she was ill, his free hand moving to touch her cheek again. "are you ill? . . or" he said worry evident in his voice and eyes as he looked at her face. "i... i'm fine," he relaxed a little he trusted her to tell him the truth, hoped she always would. nothing was so bad that she couldn't tell him, he hoped she knew that. he shifted to rest back on his heels, his hand still holding hers gently and he pushed lupus back gently. "lupus go sit" he told the dog, watching him back up and sit on one of the other cushions.
"i just... um... i guess i have some news- i mean, i do have some news." the way she said it, worried ted. he wasnt sure if it was a good news, or bad news, he couldnt tell. he gripped her hand gently, and he looked at her, dropping his hand from her cheek to rest it on the couch next to her. he didn't like feeling this worried about someone he loved so much, he'd known vic since she was born, been there for her, loved her since they'd first gone to school together. he hated it. "what is it love?" he asked her gently, his voice soft and his eyes curious as he looked at her, worried about the news she was going to deliver.
"i'm pregnant." . . . she was what? pregnant!? his eyes widened slightly as he gripped her hand a little and he looked at her. a million emotions running through his head as he looked at her face, pregnant, she was pregnant, they were having a baby. the grin spread across his face slowly, the shock wearing off and he gripped her hand gently. "pregnant . . a baby?" he asked as he moved to sit on the couch next to her, his hand moving to rest on her waist as he sat next to her, the excitement building up inside him as he shook his head slightly. "that's . . great!" he said as he looked at her, the joy in his eyes clear. "sure it's earlier than we talked about . . but it's better than never right? . . i mean . . god . . a kid . . vic we're gonna be parents" he said as he looked at her, not being able to help him, his hand shifting to touch her stomach lightly

"what is it love?" he always called her that, and the witch would be lying if she said she didn't like it. it always reassured her that she was wanted, that she mattered to him and would always matter. they were engaged, yes, but things happened. marriages fell apart, why shouldn't engagements? that was part of what she was worried of. shocking news made people think, made them panic, made them back out... and it was likely foolish, a thought that she'd later kick herself for, but even someone as amazing as teddy was capable of panicking and backing out.
she watched his expression carefully as the words fell from her lips, paranoid of any sign of disapproval. instead she felt much of the tension release from her own shoulders at his familiar grin, wide smile, happiness obvious even to her paranoid state. "pregnant . . a baby?" he wasn't pushing her away, saying that they weren't ready for a baby. he was actually happy about it, and his happy mood was infectious to the witch as she couldn't help but tease him slightly, "no, teddy, a rock. of course a baby!"
"that's . . great! sure it's earlier than we talked about . . but it's better than never right? . . i mean . . god . . a kid . . vic we're gonna be parents" his happiness was infectious. victoire felt like she was glowing as she moved her hands away from their protective position over her stomach, giving him access. for the moment it was smooth, toned, as it always was because she took care of herself and her body, not to mention the veela blood running through her veins that helped her metabolism. but that would change... sooner rather than later she would grow, she would have people wondering if she was fat or pregnant... but who cared? it would be teddy's child, the start of their family. "our own little baby to hold and look after..." she murmured softly, glancing up from her stomach to teddy's face. "you're going to be a great dad." [/style] |
