I loved it Emily! Haha I knew Teddy would come through.
As always, great post! I can't wait until your next.

Hey Emily. I sure hate to think of Teddy's marriage being over. Is there still hope for it? Don't answer.

I understand Abi being upset, but I don't condone drinking, and it's a shame Abi has a favorite place like this to go to to drown her sorrows. You write it very well, and I won't say anymore against it.
This is so sad. I can picture this in my mind, and I think she isn't saying that Alfie is better than her, but just that he deserves someone who loves him the way he loves her. She didn't (or maybe she thought she didn't) so it is best for him they didn't get married. Emily that's beautiful. Can you imagine living there? Seeing the fire from the dragons? WOW!
I'm glad.
Very nicely written Emily. I'll be watching for your next.

I loved it as usual Emily! I'm so glad that Teddy pulled through after all! xD
I can't wait to read more and hopefully they will get together soon!! =)
love you <3

Emily this was fab! Its a shame for Alfie but at least they are still friends. Its good the divorce was calm and it was what they both wanted. Post soon

New post time!


I remember once, that my cousin Dominique told me that she’d only sleep with a guy at least six months after dating him, if even then. She’d never jump into bed with someone. So, it was quite a surprise, you see, when I find out from Rosie that not only was Dominique dating Alfie, but they slept together, one week ago, which for your information, was only two months after Alfie and I broke up.

This new information made me wonder if Dominique lied about how long she’d date a guy before sleeping with him, or if maybe she’d been seeing him longer than everyone thought.

I asked Rose about it, but she shrugged and told me that she hadn’t a clue. I never really thought that Alfie would even be able to do something like that to his best friend, much less the girl he had asked to marry him, but it seems that maybe I was wrong. And how very wrong I was.

“Hey, I thought it was guy’s night,” I yelled over the music. Fred, James, Alfie, and Dominique were sitting in the back booth at the Witch’s Wand, a popular, magical club in downtown London. I slid into the booth next to James and he gave me a look that clearly meant that he hadn’t invited her.

“If it’s guy’s night, then why would you be here?” Dominique asked haughtily. Dominique and I, though cousins, never got on very well. After she went to Hogwarts, she fell into the prissy little crowd with Lavender Brown’s daughter, Azalea. I didn’t care too much for snobs.

“She’s one of the guys,” James spoke up for me. I gave him an appreciative smile before turning my attention back to Aphrodite’s pride and joy with a raised eyebrow.

“If I’m going to be with Alfie now, I need to get to know his friends,” Dominique shot back as she glared at me. How could she not know us? We’re her cousins.

“Dom, I’m going to say this very slowly, and then hopefully, you’ll understand. You. Already. Know. Us. We’re. Your. Cousins,” I explained. She shot me an icy look and Alfie sent me the look that meant he’d give me anything to drop it while James and Fred burst into laughter.

“But I don’t know you in this context,” Dominique continued as her bony little fingers wrapped around Alfie’s shoulder and played with the hair at the nape of his neck. He sent me a pleading look that I ignored. I was not in the mood for her I’m-a-little-princess-hear-me-be-snotty attitude.

I rolled my eyes at her while she looked away, and then told them I was going to get a Firewhiskey. I know it may have been childish, but when Dominique asked for me to pick her up a Butterbeer, I pretended to not hear her.

So, of course, she sent her boyfriend.

“I’m sorry if it’s awkward, but she begged me to bring her,” he explained. I nodded wordlessly as I waited for the barman to attend to us. “Abi, I thought we were going to put this behind us,” he complained.

I turned to look at him then and gave him a calculating look.

“If I asked you a question, would you promise to answer truthfully?” I asked him quietly. He nodded almost immediately.

“When did you and Dominique start dating?” I all but whispered. Alfie froze at first before he locked eyes with my forehead. I always know when Alfie is lying to me, because he stares at my forehead, rather than my eyes.

“A month or so ago,” he answered as he stuffed his fists into his pockets.

“Isn’t ‘ago’ a bit of an understatement?” I asked quietly.

“Abi,” he said in exasperation.

“You’re supposed to be my best friend. Did your proposal even mean anything to you?”

“Why does it matter? It’s not like it meant anything to you!” he accused and I bristled slightly.

“What part of best friend, didn’t you understand, Alfie? I can’t believe you’d betray me like that!” I yelled before walking off.

I made it back to the booth with Alfie tailing after me. Fred and James immediately knew something was off when I went right up to Dominique and slapped her.

“What the hell is wrong with you, Abigail?” Dominique screeched as she held her palm to her pinking cheek. Fred took hold of my hands and drew them behind my back since he noticed they were twitching for a repeat.

“What’s going on, Abi?” he whispered in my ear.

“I know we’ve never seen eye to eye, Dominique, but you’re supposed to be my cousin! Or does that mean nothing to you?”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about, Abigail,” Dominique lifted her nose into the air, and I really wanted to lunge.

“Really? Let me see if I can help you remember. Dating Alfie while we were still going out. Sleeping with him when he was my boyfriend. Any of this ringing a bell?” I snarled.

Dominique turned her head to stare at me with large, tearing eyes, and I really wish Fred hadn’t been holding me back so that I could hit her again.

“Abi, I didn’t mean to… It just happened,” she whispered and her chin trembled slightly.

“Save it for someone that believes you, Dominique.” I shrugged out of Fred’s hold and grabbed James’s Firewhiskey from the table, gulping it down.

“Wait just a second. Let me get this straight. Alfie cheated on you when you were still together, with our cousin?” James asked. I nodded silently and he pulled me into a hug before positioning himself in front of me, where Alfie was consoling Dominique. Fred stood shoulder to shoulder with James as they both glared down the couple.

“I think it’s best if you leave,” Fred started.

“Before we make you leave,” James finished in a low voice. Alfie stared regretfully at the three of us before tugging on Dominique’s hand to leave. I loved James and Fred.

“I hope it was worth losing a friend, Alfie, and a cousin, Dominique,” I told them loudly before they were out of ear shot. Alfie glanced back at me shortly before leaving the club, and I collapsed into the booth.

“Want to talk about it?” James asked as he sat on one side of me and Fred on the other.

I glared at him. “Does it look like I want to talk about it? Right about now, I would like a very large glass of Ogden’s Finest,” I told him before burying my head in my arms. I hardly noticed that James left a second later for my order and then appeared a couple of minutes later with a large brandy.

“Here’s your fix-me-up,” he announced. I smiled gratefully at him as I took a large gulp and sighed at the feeling it left, burning down my throat.

Exactly what I needed.

But I may have gone overboard.

Okay, so ‘may have’ is quite an understatement, but still.

I had a right to get sloshed.

Really.

Of course, being sloshed meant that I couldn’t really help what happened next. Honestly. I promise.

After I was properly sloshed, according to Fred and James anyway, I got bored with sitting in the booth and decided to dance. And dancing led to guy searching. And guy searching led to him.

I plopped down into an unassuming guy’s lap, circling my arms round his neck and giving him a wide grin. If I had been in a better *ahem* state, then I would have recognized said guy immediately and not have embarrassed myself. But as it is, I was not in the right state, and I did not completely recognize him.

“Hiya!” I said loudly over the blaring new Weird Sister’s hit. The man looked at me in amusement before glancing around at his mates. They all laughed and gave him a thumbs up.

“Abi? What are you doing?” he asked me with a chuckle before taking a swig of his Firewhiskey. If we were being honest with ourselves, we would also mention that he was a tad plastered as well. So, it wasn’t just me. And that made me feel slightly better. Only slightly.

“You know me? Do I know you?” I giggled. And anybody that did know me knew that I did not, whatsoever, giggle. I chuckle.

“Abi, how drunk did those idiots let you get? It’s me—Teddy,” he said with a grin. I know it should have registered that I was sitting in the lap of the boy I loved, but it didn’t really. It was more of a fuzzy little feeling that I shouldn’t be doing this. But I ignored it. Because his arm wrapped around my middle felt too good.

I leaned into his side and whispered in his ear, “Very drunk.” I giggled a little more and Teddy laughed with me.

“Maybe I should take you home,” he told me and I pouted.

“Now what would be the fun in that, Te-Ted-dddyyy?” I slurred.

I know that when I was to wake up the next morning, I was going to want to jump in a hole and never resurface after what I was about to do. But it didn’t stop me. I still did it.

Pulling back to look into Teddy’s face, I smiled before leaning my forehead against his.

“Teddy, why couldn’t you ever figure it out that I was in love with you?” I whispered before crashing my lips against his. And the best part—he didn’t stop me, he kissed me back. I never imagined my first kiss with Teddy to be when I was sloshed and he was tipsy. I always thought it’d be more romantic. But that didn’t happen. And this did.

Teddy’s hand (the one that wasn’t around my waist) wound its way through my Weasley red hair and I sighed into the kiss. We pulled away eventually, slightly dazed, and I nipped at his bottom lip before leaning in to whisper in his ear again.

“Maybe you should take me home. Well, your home anyway,” I whispered as I kissed a line down his throat and he groaned into my hair.

And he did. And the next morning, when I woke up, everything from the night before flooded back to me. I was terrified. Horrified. Embarrassed. Needless to say, there were a lot of words that could have described how I felt about throwing myself at Teddy and finding myself naked beside him in his king size bed.

I should have been thrilled at the prospect. But I wasn’t. Because I know that if he had been in his right mind, he never would have done it. He didn’t like me like that. I knew that for certain. So, I did the only rational thing I could think of. I left. Before he woke up. I did leave him a note though.

I’m sorry. Let’s just blame it on the alcohol.
Abi

And then I avoided him like the plague.

But nothing, I mean nothing could have prepared me for what happened two months later.


What do you think?

That was amazing Em!
Oooh, I can't wait to see what happens next!
Great job as always!

Awww that's so sad i take back what i said about feeling sorry for Alfie, he's a jerk. and so is dominique. how could she do that to Abi?!?!!!
I really wish that Abi and Teddy weren't drunk when they got together that way they would finally know that they were in love with each other! Gosh I hope they "see the light" haha
Great job as always Emily =)
love you!

New post!


“Oh, Merlin. Merlin, Merlin, Merlin, Merlin, MERLIN! This is not happening. This cannot be happening,” I groaned as I threw my head in my hands. I was sitting on the edge of my bath tub, my wand on the floor in front of me and my calendar thrown haphazardly in my sink.

I was late.

And not just by a week.

By two months.

And this was not good, at all.

“Abi?” A knock came on the bathroom door and I whimpered as I sank to the floor and curled myself up in a ball. I wasn’t prepared for this. Not in the slightest.

“Abi?” Fred sounded worried now, but I still couldn’t answer him. What was I supposed to say to him? To my parents? To Teddy? “If you don’t answer, I’m coming in,” he warned, and yet I was incapable of speech.

So, he barged into the room, wand blazing, probably expecting to find a rogue Death Eater towering over me. But all he found was me sobbing on the floor of my bathroom.

I know he asked me a thousand questions, but I still didn’t answer. I couldn’t bring myself to. So, he did the only thing he could think to do. He took me to my parents. And as soon as my Dad took me in his arms and asked me what was wrong, I cried harder. My Dad took me to my old/new bedroom and curled up with me on my tiny little bed. They had moved everything from our house in England to Romania. So, it was still my old room, but it was new, too.

It was a couple of hours later that I was able to actually talk. I know he didn’t buy that I was fine, but my Dad knew when to not push me into talking. I promised to see him soon and then I left the house I grew up in and Apparated to Dover.

Teddy opened his front door on the third knock. He looked surprised at first, and then downright upset. He tried to shut the door in my face, but I stuck my boot out and caught it first.

“Please,” I whispered. I know that when he searched my face he’d find puffy, red eyes, tear stained cheeks, and a pink nose. I know I didn’t deserve the fact that he opened the door for me and let me into his home. And I didn’t blame him for hating me either. I made him feel like a one-night stand. I left without saying a word, leaving a little note. And ignoring him for the past two months wasn’t really helping my cause either.

Teddy led me to his living room and I sat down on his love seat. He sat across from me in an armchair. I refused to look him in the eye. If I did, I wouldn’t be able to get on with this.

“Teddy,” I whispered and my voice cracked.

“Get on with it, Abigail. I have plans tonight with the guys,” Teddy told me in a flat, monotone voice. Abigail again. I flinched. But I know I deserved it.

I took a deep breath before looking up at him. “I’m pregnant!” I shouted. He stared at me like a fish out of water and I could feel the tears building behind my lids. “I thought I should tell you before you found out from someone else,” I continued as I stared at his feet. “I get that you probably hate me… I haven’t exactly been friendly since that night,” I whispered. “If you want nothing to do with our baby, then fine. I get it. But I’m not getting an abortion or giving it up for adoption. I’ll raise it by myself if I have to, Teddy. I just thought I’d give you that option on whether you want to be in your child’s life or not.”

“Abi,” Teddy whispered, and I shook my head defiantly as tears dripped down my freckled cheeks.

“Let me finish. Come and find me if you want to be in its life, otherwise it was good seeing you. I’m sorry about everything, Ted. I’m just going to go…”

Teddy tried to interrupt me countless times during my little speech, but I knew that if I let him talk, I’d completely lose it.

“Abigail, wait!” he yelled after me. I paused at his front door, halfway onto the porch already.

“I can’t, Teddy! I can’t do this with you right now! So, please just think about everything and then come find me if you want,” I whispered, and before he could stop me, I disappeared.

Fred jumped from the loud crack, looking away from the telly to look at me with concerned eyes. I heaved a heavy sigh and collapsed onto the couch next to him. My head somehow ended up in his lap as I told him everything, starting with the day that had unknowingly changed the remainder of my life.

“You’re my best friend, you know that?” I whispered to him after he told me that no matter what happened, he’d help me with my baby.

He laughed good naturedly as he smoothed back my curls from my forehead.

“And what am I? Chopped liver?” James asked from the doorway, his hand over his heart and a look of mock hurt on his face.

“You’re my cousin,” I answered nonchalantly as I waved him away.

“Oi!” he exclaimed as he sat down in a huff on the other end of the couch. My feet took claim in his lap as we all laughed.

And then I told James everything, too, but before he could respond, there was a pounding on our door.

James got up to answer, keeping the door only cracked so Fred and I couldn’t see who it is. We saw James’s back tense as he argued with the person.

“Just let me see her, Potter!” the person shouted and I froze. Teddy.


Okay, so I was going to finish this post, but then I realized it'd be really long, so I decided to split this one up. What do you think?

Oh my gosh! I'm speechless, Em!!
I can't wait to see what happens. I hope Teddy's taking everything ok. Or as ok as you can be in this situation. <33
Awesome as always and keep it up!!

huh!! OMG OMG shes pregnant!!
wow emily your an amaxing writer <3 <3 <3
please post the next post soon!!
i hav one question though
what does "lost my virginity" mean ?

Okay, I didn't see a baby!

Okay, that's a lie- I did, cause you sort of left it open in the other post...

I love it, though!

I feel sorry for Teddy, cause he thinks Abi (Wow that's weird to type) doesn't like him, but she really does, like she always has... But then, the way he was trying to stop her from leaving, it sounds like he might be falling for her, which would be amazing!

Then, there's James, who needs to stop a cting like his Uncle Ron and let Teddy see Abi (again, slightly weird moment) so they sort everything out and live happily ever after!

Which means, Emily, you are not to go killing anyone off!

ILOVEYOUTHOUGH!


Sorry, slightly hyper today!

can anyone answer my question plese
and by the way annabelle,vanessa says she likes ur DP

Emily I am loving this! I hope Teddy is good and does what is right! Surely he feels something for her!

In answer to hermione8799: Ask your mum/dad/parent/guardian. Kidding! Its the person you first have sex with

New post!

“Just let me see her, Potter!” the person shouted and I froze. Teddy.

I cleared my throat as James looked back at me. I nodded slightly as I sat up on the couch and James let Teddy into our flat.

“Abi,” Teddy said shortly.

“Teddy,” I replied. Fred snorted while James rolled his eyes and Teddy and I both shot them dirty looks.

“Can you guys give us a second?” Teddy asked and I almost wanted to tell them to stay. I wasn’t sure if I was ready for the conversation I was about to have with Teddy Lupin. But Fred and James left anyway and Teddy took Fred’s place beside me before standing back up and pacing the room.

I watched him, half amused and half nervous. He ran a hand through his blue hair before looking at me. I gave him a half smile before it fell back into a frown.

“You can’t just spring that on me and leave,” he finally said. “You just left without letting me say anything.” My eyes flickered down to the carpet.

“Please, Teddy, this whole thing isn’t easy for me.”

“And you think it’s easy for me?” he asked incredulously.

“I am so, so sorry. I just kinda freaked out. I mean, I always thought about if we’d get together, and it wasn’t like that. We were drunk, and I know that’s the only reason you’d ever even consider us…” He tried to interrupt but I help up a hand to stop him. “So, I left. Before I could get heartbroken even more by seeing the look on your face that meant it had been a mistake. I just couldn’t. And I’m so sorry for avoiding you and ignoring your letters. But you have to understand that I’ve been in love with you since I was seven.” I stopped suddenly when I realized what I’d said. My hand covered my mouth unconsciously and I let out a sob before bolting for my bedroom.

Teddy caught up to me, of course. Because I’m not really a fast runner. He pulled me back against his chest from behind and bent down so that he could speak deliberately in my ear.

“Don’t you dare leave again. I’m not going to let you leave and ignore me again, Abi. If you’d let me get a word in, you’d know that I’ve been in love with you since Romania. Maybe even before that, I don’t know.”

“That isn’t funny, Teddy. This isn’t some prank,” I whispered and he chuckled as he lightly kissed the spot behind my ear. I could feel his hot breath on my skin and I shivered.

“This isn’t a prank. I’m not being funny. I. Love. You. Mrs. Theodore Lupin.”

I laughed. “You haven’t called me that in ages,” I remarked. He twirled me around and hugged me tightly.

“Let’s fix that,” he whispered into my hair.

“What do we do, Teddy? I’m not ready for this, and I don’t think you are either,” I whispered. Teddy pulled me into his arms and I buried my face in the juncture of his neck.

“Your Dad is going to kill me,” he groaned and I laughed.

“I tell you we’re pregnant, and you can only worry about my father’s reaction?” I asked as I pulled back to give him a watery smile. He grinned as he kissed my forehead.

“We’ll find a way to get through it. Just remember you’re not alone; I’ll be there with you every step of the way,” he promised.

“Even when I tell my parents?” I asked with an innocent smile.

He gulped and I withheld a chuckle. “Ye-yeah, that, too.”

Teddy let out a strangled laugh before taking my hand in his. I really wanted to give a girly squeal, but then I would have looked like an idiot. So I didn’t.

“So, er, now that you’re pregnant with our love child and all, and we both confessed our undying love for the other, will you go on a date with me?” he asked as his cheeks turned a crimson color.

“I, er, oh, well, I… I’ll be right back!” I declared as I stood quickly. I know you must think I’m an idiot. Why would I leave when the guy I loved just ask me out? I have a good reason. I promise.

“What?” he asked incredulously.

“I promise I’ll be quick; I just need to take care of something before I can answer your question. Please, Teddy?” I kissed his forehead before quickly making my way out of the flat, leaving him in the living room. And then I Apparated to the one place I didn’t think I’d visit for a very long time. And I hadn’t. Not for at least two months now.

“Abigail? What are you doing here?” Dominique asked me with a trembling chin.

“I’m here to speak to Victoire. Is she here?” I asked, ignoring her pitiful look.

“And why should I let you? You ruined everything for me! Al-Alfie br-broke up with me because of you!” she wailed.

I rolled my eyes. Are all Veelas this dramatic? “I haven’t spoken to Alfie in ages, Dom. So whether he broke up with you or not, it had nothing to do with me,” I told her with an upturned eyebrow.

“Maybe if you talked to him…?” she asked me hopefully.

“Is Victoire here?” I asked her bluntly. The gall this woman has.

“F-Fine,” Dominique huffed. She left me standing on their doorstep while she went to get her sister, and I was suddenly incredibly nervous. What if she said no? Before I could think much longer on the fact, Victoire was standing in front of me.

“Abigail. It has been too long,” my cousin smiled at me. I breathed a tiny sigh in relief. At least she wasn’t mad at me for ignoring Dominique all this time.

She shut the door and led me to the porch swing. “I need to talk to you…about Teddy,” I said quietly and I noticed look of surprise on her face. She definitely hadn’t seen that one coming. Just wait, dear cousin.

“What about Teddy?” she asked suspiciously.

“We-well, he and I, that is to say… Would you care if I dated him?” I whispered finally.

Her tinkling laugh confused me for a moment before she grinned at me. “Why would I care? I’ve been dating Jason for a few months now, you know that.”

“Yes, but he’s still your ex-husband,” I whispered as I stared down at my lap.

“And he’s still my friend, and I’d want him to be happy. I want that for my cousin, too. If you’ll find it together, then so be it,” she smiled and my stomach twisted in knots.

“Really?” At her nod, I actually did squeal.

“On one condition,” she added and I managed to stifle my groan. So, so very close.

“Which is?” I asked hesitantly.

“You have to forgive Dominique. She knows she shouldn’t have done it and I can promise you that if she goes after Teddy, I’ll hex her myself.”

I grimaced before nodding reluctantly. She clapped her hands in excitement. “Even though I’ll forgive her, I’m still going to need space from her. And if she even dares to think about going after Teddy, I’ll hit her with a hex that will make the Cruciatus Curse a holiday,” I warned. Victoire giggled before nodding in agreement.

When I went back to Teddy that night, I told him everything. About Dominique and Alfie and why I left to go ask Victoire. I wasn’t about to go behind my cousin’s back with her ex-husband. It was too similar of a situation with Alfie, Dominique, and me. And he understood. And we went out on many a dates after that night.

But then it came the time to tell my parents. And I was petrified.


What do you think?

This was good! I am sure Charlie and Christelle won't be too mad. Well I hope. They seem to really get Abi so I just hope everything is OK.

Ooooh, I can't wait to see how Charlie and Christelle take this.

“Are you sure I should be here for this?” Teddy asked me for the millionth time. I was about to hex him if he didn’t cut it out. We were standing on my parent’s porch, staring at the front door as if it were a portal of doom. The Romanian smell calmed me somewhat. But only somewhat.

“You promised,” I reminded him and he nodded slightly.

Before either of us could make a move, the door opened. Bryce answered the door with a frown.

“Why are you two standing out here?” he asked us and I bit my lip.

“We were just talking. We’re coming in, don’t worry.” I almost wanted to tell him that we weren’t finished talking and to shut the door so we could finish our conversation, but then my Dad appeared behind my brother with his arms crossed over his chest and a scowl on his face. He never was very welcoming to my boyfriends. Even if he had known Teddy since he was born, and liked him. Of course, he ‘stopped liking him’ when we started dating. I gulped. We were so doomed.

I grabbed Teddy’s hand and pulled him into the house. My Dad’s scowl deepened.

“We need to talk to you and Mum. Alone,” I told him with a glance to my brother. He narrowed his eyes at us and crossed his arms over his chest like my Dad. It would have been cute in any other situation. But it just made me queasy.

Dad and Mum sat us down in the living room, in opposite arm chairs while they took the couch.

“Well?” my Mum asked impatiently.

“T-Teddy and I…” I started before stopping. My Dad narrowed his eyes.

“You’re not married, are you?” he growled and I shook my head quickly. Nope, but you’re going to wish it were that instead, Daddy. I stared at my hands for the longest time and I could hear Teddy shifting nervously in his chair.

“We’re pregnant,” I blurted out. Silence. I think it was worse than silence, actually. My parents didn’t talk. They just stared at me. So, I stared at my shoes. And then they started laughing.

“Hilarious, darling,” my Mother laughed. I frowned.

“You had us there for a minute,” my Dad continued. I stared at them in shock and they stopped laughing. “You are joking, right?” my Dad whispered. I shook my head as I bit my lip. Wait for it. Wait for it.

“You did WHAT to my baby girl, Lupin?” my Dad boomed. There. That was the reaction I suspected.

Dad shot up from the couch and started for Teddy as Teddy tried to disappear into the chair. It wasn’t working for him too well. So, I did the most logical thing.

“Petrificus Totalus!” I screamed at my Dad, my wand held up in front of me.

“Abigail!” my Mum shouted as she caught Dad before he hit the floor. She lowered him to the crimson carpet. “Why did you do that?” she asked as she stared up at me.

“I panicked! I had to buy myself more time!” I shouted as I pulled Teddy away from the previous line of fire.

“To do what?” she asked with an upturned, sculpted eyebrow.

“To panic!” I screeched, and to my surprise and amusement, my Mum started laughing uncontrollably as she wordlessly enervated my father.

He seemed confused at first and then his gaze zeroed in on me and Teddy.

“Abigail Weasley!” my father shouted and I flinched. He tried to stand but Mum, bless her, held him back.

“How did it happen? And no—I do not mean that way. I’m well aware of the logistics. But you two weren’t even seeing each other at the time, were you?” Mum asked.

I shook my head as Teddy started rambling about us getting drunk, too drunk to remember a contraceptive charm. I wish he wouldn’t have mentioned that. It would only make it worse.

“You got my baby girl drunk?” Daddy shouted. I groaned as I buried my face in my hands. My Mum still hadn’t declared if she were entirely upset with me yet, and I was hoping that she’d take my side and support me and Teddy. She didn’t exactly do as I’d hoped.

“How could you have been so irresponsible, Abigail?” she asked me quietly. Incredulous tears dripped down my face as I met her eyes.

“I know. I’m so-sorry. But it’s happened, and Teddy and I are happy.” My father continued to glare at my boyfriend. He and Mum sat back down on the couch, and Teddy and I went back to our original seats. I stood shakily and went to sit in Dad’s lap. I know I was probably too big to be sitting in my Daddy’s lap, but it didn’t stop me. I wanted him to be happy for us.

“Daddy,” I whispered. I’ve always been a Daddy’s Girl, and I know that he’d do anything for me. I had him wrapped around my finger. Everyone knew it. I was his princess. Caroline was, too, but she still wasn’t as skilled at pulling off the puppy dog look as I was.

“Teddy and I do love each other. And we’re going to raise our baby with as much love as you and Mum raised me. And before you ask, no, we do not plan on getting married because we’re pregnant. Things are fantastic between us right now. We want to let things work out as they’re supposed to, and if that leads us to getting married somewhere along the way, then so be it. But right now, we’re just dating. I’m going to move in with him. No, Daddy, listen. We’re moving in together and we’re going to have this baby. And I really want you to be there for me. I need you, Daddy. And my baby is going to need its Grandpa,” I whispered.

My Dad pulled me into his embrace and played with my hair as he kissed my forehead. It was very relaxing and familiar.

“All right,” he whispered. My Mum smiled at the two of us as she placed her hand on my knee.

“Who all have you told?” Mum asked us. I could tell Teddy was uncomfortable, especially with the glares my Dad was still sending him when he thought I wasn’t looking. Even though I would have rather burrowed farther into my father’s arms like I did when I was little, I made myself leave his arms and walk over to Teddy. I plopped down into his lap and he stared at me with wide eyes.

“Abi,” my Dad warned me.

“We’re already pregnant, Daddy. What more is this going to do?” I asked with a raised brow. He narrowed his eyes at us, but I ignored him while I pulled Teddy’s arms around my waist and looked at my Mum. “Fred and James, but nobody else.”

“Why did you tell your cousins before us?” Dad demanded.

“Moral support,” I shrugged.

“Teddy, dear, why don’t you help me in the kitchen with lunch?” Mum asked. I could feel him trembling slightly as he nodded and I stifled a small chuckle. See, I told you I chuckle.

“I promise she doesn’t bite,” I whispered as I maneuvered to let him get up. He dared to kiss my temple chastely before hurrying off after my Mum.

Something under the other doorway twitched and I narrowed my eyes at the ear-like object. Uncle George was so a back-stabber!

“Bryce, Jesse, and Caroline! Get your bums in here this instant!” I yelled. My Dad looked at me in confusion before my younger siblings tumbled through the door in surprise with three pairs of Extendable Ears hanging in their hands.

“How much did you hear?” I demanded as I stood with my hands on my hips. Mum says I look like Grandmum when I do that. And Aunt Ginny.

“You and Teddy are having a baby!” Caroline sang before dancing out of the way of my swinging hand.

“Abigail, be nice to your sister! Caroline, how many times have I told you three not to listen in on somebody’s conversation?” my Dad asked. He sounded very tired all of a sudden and I suddenly felt guilty for causing it. I probably caused a few new gray hairs to pop in, too.

“You’re the ones that forgot to ward off the room. You do know who our Uncle is, don’t you?” Jesse asked with a smirk.

“You three better keep it to yourself! Don’t tell anyone, am I understood?” I demanded. They all nodded, albeit with mischievous smirks on their faces.

That had been a long night for the Weasleys and Lupins, and when Teddy and I finally left, we had all agreed on plans to move my stuff into Teddy’s house the following weekend. And then, we’d go shopping for the new nursery. Even Uncle Harry and Victoire took the news okay. We had both decided to tell Victoire as a sort of warning before the rest of the family. She had been excited at the news and she made us promise that we would let her babysit. We did.

I know that it’s probably a bit too cliché to say, but we were happy. That was, of course, until drama showed up at the Weasley Friday Holiday.

New post time!


We had just finished our appointment with the Healer, and found out that we were having a little girl. Teddy and I talked about names once, and we both decided that we’d name our baby after one of his parents—if a girl, Nymphadora, and a boy, Remus. So, in about five and half months, I would be giving birth to Nymphadora Janet Lupin.

We should have been thrilled. Ecstatic. But, I was nearly four months pregnant, showing, and we were to spend the day with the rest of the Weasley family. The majority of which, were not aware that Teddy Lupin, ex-husband of fellow Weasley, Victoire, had impregnated me, Abigail Weasley.

So, we were nervous. Freaked out. Terrified. Whatever synonym suits your fancy.

And it didn’t help matters that we were arriving alone. Without my parents. Or James and Fred. Or Uncle Harry and Aunt Ginny. Alone. In the backyard. With Uncle Bill. Who is not the biggest fan of one Teddy Lupin.

“Abi? You’re pregnant?” Uncle Bill asked me incredulously.

“I-is Dad here?” I asked, ignoring the question. He promised he’d meet us outside, so that when everyone saw us, we’d show a united front. Or something of the sort. But he was nowhere to be seen. And Uncle Bill was slowly putting together that I was pregnant and holding Teddy’s hand. And Teddy was the father.

“I cannot believe you have the gall to show up here after divorcing my daughter, and then getting her cousin pregnant!” he growled as he pulled out his wand. I flinched. We were hoping to avoid this reaction. It’s not like Teddy cheated on Victoire. We didn’t even sleep together until two months after they were already divorced.

“Victoire knows we’re dating and pregnant, Uncle Bill. She gave me her blessing. And Teddy is still a part of this family,” I told him sternly. He glanced at me for a second before zeroing his glare onto Teddy again.

“I think it’s best if you leave. Before I’m forced to make you leave,” Uncle Bill stated quietly.

“Teddy is not going anywhere. So, if you’d like to not be in his presence, I suggest you leave,” I told him. Teddy tightened his hold on my hand as he frowned.

“Look, Victoire wanted that divorce just as much as I did, Bill. We’re still friends. And you’re fighting a battle that is not only not yours, but does not exist,” Teddy said bravely.

“How dare you! How dare you speak to me that way! When you obviously were sleeping around with my daughter’s cousin when you were still married!” Uncle Bill screamed. Today, the Healer told me that I should stay calm and relaxed during my pregnancy. Being stressed isn’t good for Nymphadora. And Uncle Bill was not helping my stress level.

Evidently becoming a mother makes you more protective, not only of your baby, but for your baby’s father, too. Evidently. Not to mention the fact that he basically called me a hussy. Has he met his daughter?

“I am not Dominique,” I whispered fiercely as I walked right up to Uncle Bill and poked him in the chest. “I asked Victoire if I could date Teddy. Unlike Dom, who dated Alfie and slept with Alfie while Alfie and I were still together. So, if you want to point fingers and basically call someone a hussy, you better go find your own damn daughter. What happens between Teddy and me is none of your business, Uncle Bill. So butt out.”

Uncle Bill stared down at me in shock at first, and then anger. Evidently, he was a bit protective, too.

“Don’t you dare call my daughter a hussy, Abigail Weasley.”

“Don’t you dare call me a hussy, William Weasley,” I countered. He narrowed his eyes at me, and I felt Teddy tugging me back. Everyone knows that a fight between two Weasleys was explosive. It was making him nervous. And I didn’t blame him. I was a tad nervous, too, if I were being honest with myself.

“Maybe we should leave, Abi,” Teddy whispered to me. I shook my head fervently.

“I want my treacle tart. And we have as much right as everybody else to be here.” I looked up at him and he sighed while nodding slightly.

“Bill, what’s taking so—” My Dad walked outside and stared at us all. I glared at him for not making it sooner. I was almost positive that he would not have taken it very well that his brother called his daughter a hussy. “Abi! Teddy! You made it! I didn’t think your appointment ended until…Bill, why are you pointing your wand at my daughter and my grandchild’s father?” Daddy asked him as he moved to stand in front of me and the wand. I gripped his arm tightly from behind and he gave it an affectionate pat.

“So, you condone what your daughter did?” Uncle Bill growled.

“What exactly is that supposed to mean, Bill?” Dad growled back.

“She slept with my daughter’s husband!” My Dad scoffed before giving a dry laugh.

“I’m pretty sure that’s my line,” Dad chuckled, and I almost joined him. Almost.

“Charlie,” Uncle Bill said lowly.

“Don’t, Bill. Abigail and Teddy didn’t sleep together until after Teddy and Victoire were divorced. And if I recall correctly, Vic was already dating somebody new, too. They’ve done nothing wrong. And I suggest you never threaten my daughter with a wand, or otherwise, ever again, or you’ll have me to deal with,” my Daddy told Uncle Bill threateningly. I love my Daddy. He seems protective, too. Teddy sighed in relief next to me when Uncle Bill put his wand away and ran a hand through his hair.

“Sorry,” he muttered.

“So, what’s the diagnosis?” Dad asked excitedly.

“Where’s Mum and Uncle Harry?” I asked as I bit my lip to hide my grin.

“C’mon, then. Oh, wait, you may need to know something before you go in there…”

Teddy and I glanced at each other at his sudden nervousness. We weren’t exactly prepared for what he told us next. Though we should have seen it coming. Caroline was horrid at keeping secrets. And I’m not over exaggerating. Shall I prove it?

“Caroline told Grandmum about everything… While everyone else was in the room. Just minutes ago.” Dad looked at us sheepishly as a lump wedged its way into my throat. My sister better hope Teddy keeps me away from my wand when I next see her.

He must have read my mind, because the next thing I know, my wand is in his hand. Traitor. He smiled sheepishly at me and I glared at him before turning back to my Dad.

“And how did they take it?” I whispered. Leaving didn’t sound all that bad anymore.

“Well, after James, Fred, and Victoire spoke on your behalf, everyone seems better now. They’re all excited and happy for both of you,” Dad told me with a small smile.

“Promise you’re not sugar coating it?”

“Pinky promise,” he told me as he held out his large little finger. I grinned as I gave him a hug instead. Pinky promises went all the way back to when I was little. It was a tradition of sorts.

“Alright,” I sighed dramatically. “Let’s face the music.” I took hold of Teddy’s hand as Dad led us and Uncle Bill into the Burrow. We made our way to the living room, where everyone was waiting for us.

“So?” Fred asked us impatiently.

“In five and a half months, you will all get to meet… Nymphadora Janet Lupin!” I beamed. The next thirty minutes were a blur for Teddy and me. We were hugged, congratulated, scolded, and kissed.

When Teddy and I got home that night, we were beyond exhausted. I loved my family, but sometimes, they were too much.
