Post Hogwarts, Pre-Twins
Abigail couldn’t believe it. Her and Allison had been planning for the baby already. She just could not believe that she was pregnant. She had always planned to spend the rest of her life with Travis and this just made it even more real.
Abi put the finishing touches on the dinner she had been making to occupy her time. Travis was due home soon and she couldn’t wait to tell him the news. She heard the pop of someone apparating and smiled at her boyfriend as he walked into the kitchen, wrapping her in a warm embrace.
“Hey babe. What’s with the dinner?”
She smiled as she planted a kiss on his lips. “What? I’m not allowed to cook?” She asked teasingly.
He chuckled and went to put up his suit jacket. She put the finishing touches on the dinner and laid it out on the table. Everything was going perfect. They talked about their days – her leaving out the baby thing of course. That was for dessert. Abigail couldn’t remember the last time she was this happy. She sipped her water as Travis drank his beer. It was weird not enjoying a glass of wine with her dinner but it was best for her in her current situation. As she set a piece of cake in front of Travis, she couldn’t help but grin wider. He must have noticed because he set down his fork.
“Are you all right? You’re not drinking your daily glass of wine and I haven’t seen you smile so much in all of the time I’ve known you.”
She let out a sigh. This was it. The moment she was to tell them they were going to have a baby and start a family.
“Travis. You know how we always talked about getting married and starting a family some day?”
“Yes…”
“Well…that day may be coming sooner than we expected.” She grinned wildly. She was bursting with excitement.
“What do you mean?” Travis asked nervously.
“Travis…I’m pregnant.”
Abigail was practically bouncing in her chair with excitement. Travis was just staring at her, not saying a word. She started to frown slightly. Why wasn’t he excited?
“Travis…what’s wrong honey? Aren’t you excited?”
He still didn’t say anything. He just pushed himself away from the table.
“I need some air.”
Travis walked out the back door. Abi watched as he just stood out on the porch staring out over the backyard. She didn’t know what had gone wrong. They’d always talked about having a family. She thought he would be happy.
Abigail didn’t want to think about it so she started to clear the table. She didn’t use magic because she needed to keep herself busy. She charmed the dish washing stuff to clean them before she turned towards the stairs. Abi gave Travis one last look before she went up to get ready for bed. She knew that he’d be up there soon enough and they would be able to talk about what happened.
Abigail crawled into bed and waited up for Travis. By the time it reached 2 AM, she knew she should go check on him. She walked down the stairs and towards the backyard. He wasn’t on the porch. She opened the door and looked outside.
“Travis?”
Abigail looked around. He wasn’t outside. She searched the living room and finally the kitchen. He didn’t seem to be anywhere. Then she spotted a piece of parchment on the counter. She picked up the note that was written in Travis’ scrawled handwriting. She let out a sob as she read it over and over again. She just couldn’t believe he would just leave like that. Her heart was broken in a million pieces. She didn’t even register that she’d picked up her phone to call Ali.
Abigail was just standing in the kitchen when Alex and Ali walked into the kitchen. Neither one said a word. They both embraced their sister in a giant hug. They were always going to be there for her. Always.
