I sat in the Great Hall, my text book open infront of me. I still hadn't studied and my exam was days away. I groan rubbing my temples looking at my plate. I groan again, pushing it away,"I'm am not hungry." I mutter.

"Then the apocalypse is coming." I say solemnly, sitting down next to her, not caring that graduated students weren't supposed to be inside Hogwarts grounds, "What's up?" I ask, taking an apple from the middle of the table, changing my mind and throwing it at a first year, then picking up some toast.

"Ha ha funny." I mutter closing my book. "I'm not hungry." I say again knowing it would be odd if I said that seeing as I was always hungry."Nothing's staying down."

I furrow a concerned eyebrow, "That's not right. Have you seen a healer about that? And yes, I know you're a healer. But have you?"

"Yes, I've seen a healer, why must you people make me get a second opinion when I know what's wrong? I'm fine Charlie, really." I say putting a reasurring hand on his.

"You know what's wrong?" I repeat, "So what's wrong? You can tell me, Maddie. You can tell me anything, you know."

"I know I can Charlie," I say quietly taking his hand putting it on my stomach,"Get my dirift?" I say quietly making sure no one else could hear.

I blink in surprise, then laugh and hug her, "Wow...Maddie!"

I smile hugging him back but with less enthusim."Yeah, wow."

"And you're not happy about it, are you?" I sigh. "What's the problem?"

"Charlie, you know how I am around little kids. They freak me out and..." I sigh brushing my hair from my face,"Ian and I...we didn't want this Charlie, we can't. It's too dangerous."

"You'll be a good mum. You will. And okay, yeah, probably not the best time to be having another emotional connection to someone, but I'm looking out for you, all of you. No one's gonna hurt you, or your baby, or your boyfriend, while I'm here. Promise."

"I'm not gonna be a good mum, I know I'm not. What if the kid hates me? What if I can't take care of it? We already lost one baby, what if we lose this one too? Charlie, I'm not ready to be a mum, and Ian..Ian doesn't want kids...we're-we're not ready for this."

"You are. You'll be brilliant at it, you'll see. And the kid won't hate you. Not until it hits it's teens...then it'll hate you, or it'll think it does anyway but it won't actually hate you. Trust me, I know. It'll adore you just because you're it's mother. And if you can't take care of it, then you ask for help. Lot's of people would be willing to help, I will, what about Bella? She says she's a friend of yours. And it's got both parents which is more than some kids have got. And no one is losing anyone, while I'm keeping an eye out for you guys, promise." I say, "Okay, yeah, you're not ready, but it'll just click and you'll know what to do. It will. You'll do great. And Ian doesn't want kids? Well, fuck him. He's gonna have a kid whether he likes it or not and it'll click with him too. If he doesn't want kids so bad...well, has he cleared off? Or is he sticking with you?"

"He's staying, he already said he was gonna help me." I mutter,"But Charlie, we are not ready, we don't even have a house anymore, not to mention we have the whole communication issue and oh yeah the three fucking manics trying to kill us. did I forget them?"

"Don't you worry about those maniacs anymore. Those are for me to worry about. A house is easily remedied, you just gotta get one. And communication issue?"

"Uh yeah, we well kinda have trouble talking to each other about..things."

"About...what kind of things?" I ask.

Post by Madeline Speare on Jul 26, 2007 18:40:11 GMT
I shrug,"Lots of things."
About Rowan, Erin Gid, or baby...everything that's important.

"We...we lost a baby before." I mutter. "We didn't really talk about it."

"Kind of awkward subject to broach...I guess. Did you try and bring it up?"

Post by Madeline Speare on Jul 26, 2007 18:51:03 GMT
"Yeah, he just...he just sits there not saying anything and you know how much I hate it when people do that. Silences freak me out."

"Do you think it's because he's hurting too? Or because it's just awkward to talk about?"

"Well, come right out and say it to him. Tell him that you're worried this baby isn't going to work if you can't talk to each other about everything. Or, better yet, you could ask me to go and punch him and make him take notice."

Post by Madeline Speare on Jul 26, 2007 19:14:04 GMT
"No, you cannot punch him. The thing is, I'm just a little worried. We kinda rushed into this. When we first met...well we got along as much as me and Lucius did."

Post by Charlie Owens on Jul 26, 2007 19:16:59 GMT
"What the fuck? I don't understand this anymore. Explain the relationship to me. How you met, what the hell happened to make you get along better than you and Lucius, explain. And explain why you're a little worried."

"how much time you got?" I grin,"Well we met a few months back in Borgin and Burkes."

"I got all the time in the world. Borgin and Burkes..." I put a hand to my forehead, grimacing at the thought of her being in such a dark/dangerous place, "Right, refraining from commenting...go on..."
