"Well...." Jayden sighed, running a hand through her hair and biting her lip nervously before turning to look back up at him. "My mum... my mum is..... pregnant." She whispered, flashing him a wide eyed look. "I just... I can't believe it. I've grown so used to being the only child in the house after my siblings moved out that I just don't know what I am going to do when the baby comes. Of course, I'm kind of excited... but what if they forget about me?" She asked worriedly.
Surely Cael would have some advice... hopefully.
Cael couldn't help the small sigh of relief that slipped out when she finally admitted what had been bothering her. A baby. Heh. And here he'd been terrified she was going to transfer schools or something. Not that he'd heard of a lot of people transferring
out of Hogwarts, but if students came in all the time-- well didn't that go both ways, then?
"I think it's wonderful. A little brother or sister waiting at home for you every holiday sounds adorable. Then again, I'm an only child so what would I know," he shrugged, trying to gauge her reaction on the whole subject.
He laughed when she worried her bottom lip, obviously afraid her parents wouldn't have enough time for her.
"Well, if they were going to have one, I think this is the perfect time for them. Just imagine how hard it would be if you weren't at Hogwarts; they might have a hard time devoting all of their time to you if they were having to take care of a new baby. This way you won't have to compete for attention and your parents can focus on their new child for a while without feeling guilty. Plus, who could ever forget about you?" he smiled, stroking a lock of hair away from her face.
