Tom had never been happy with a woman before. Christina was the first person he'd ever even liked. So, he was doing his best to make sure he didn't mess what they had up. He was a little concerned about their age difference, but it seemed as though it really didn't bother her. And they'd been together a couple of months. So.

He'd decided it was time to bring her home to his own house. He took a deep breath and turned the key to his place. "I even cleaned it up a bit."

"So you're okay with it?" Narcissa asked Evan. "With her dating the Headmaster? Even though he's so much older?" She glanced off in the direction Headmaster Riddle had taken Christina. "I guess if you're okay with it then I am too."

Christina stared up at Tom with wide eyes. Move in full time? "I... Oh Wow, Tom." She looked down at the key. "I want to, but I don't think I can. I don't know what my parents would do if I moved out before I graduated from school. I mean... they pay for everything."

"I mean, it's a little off. But, I'm also dating your future husband." Evan pointed out, shrugging. "I think we're all a little off. When you think about it. At least I know he's treating Christina right and he's finally branching out a bit to let people know how he feels about her. Unlike Lucius. My feelings don't matter, do they?"

Tom deflated a bit. Maybe she just didn't want to move in with him. He chewed at his bottom lip and sighed. "You're right. I'm sorry." He took the key back and stood up. "It was too much of me to ask."

Lucius looked down at Evan, frowning a little. "Do you want to meet my friends?" he asked him. "It's not like they don't know I prefer men. I stopped talking to most of the drug addicts when I started getting clean, but there are a few people I could introduce you to."

"Wait, what?" Narcissa looked between Lucius and Evan. "What do you mean drug addicts?"

"No, Tom." Christina grabbed his hand. "Please don't take the key back. I want to. I want to move in so bad. Wake up next to you every morning. I just can't yet. But... once I graduate from college. I mean, everyone moves out for university, right?"

Evan looked at Narcissa and shrugged. "He's a recovering drug addict." He told her and then looked up at Lucius. "Even if I do meet your friends, you're still keeping me a secret. People will never know that you like me."

Tom didn't take rejection very well. He was upset about it. He wanted Christina to live with him, since she basically did as it was. "Why are you so worried about it?" He asked her quietly, shaking his head. "What are your parents going to say? You're doing exactly what they want you to do."

Narcissa thought the issue of her future husband being a drug addict was being brushed off rather quickly. "Like... drugs?" she asked. "Like real drugs?"

"Like coke and pills and a little bit of meth, yes," Lucius agreed, giving Narcissa an annoyed look. "I haven't done it in months." He looked back at Evan. "I'll tell my friends. They'll know. Your friends know."

"Yes, I am," Christina agreed. "For now I am. Going to a good school is important to me, Tom. You know I have big plans for my future. I'm seventeen. I need them to be willing to support me financially through school. I'm worried about you too, Tom. If they find out about us, you could lose your job. Your reputation as an educator. I love you. I know you're not some lecherous man who just wants to have fun with a school girl, but I just... Please. I want to protect you."

"My friends know because one of them is your wife and one of them is my twin sister who gets stuck listening to us all the time." Evan pointed out. He looked at Narcissa. "Stop acting so shocked. The world is not cotton candy, Narcissa."

"And I want to be with you. Which is why I'm willing to pay for your schooling." Tom told her, shaking his head. "Just forget it. You can keep the key." He held it back out to her and walked back down the hall. "Someone set the candles up on the cake for her."

"I'll do the candles," Lucius said, because it seemed like a good way to get out of talking about his former drug habit and/or how apparently offering to introduce Evan to his friends still didn't count as people knowing about them. He extracted himself from Evan and walked into the kitchen.

Christina felt awful now. She stuffed the key in her pocket and walked back out to the living room, not really feeling like having a birthday party anymore. She and Evan didn't have the best relationship with their parents, but she didn't want to just... tell them she was moving out and leave to move in with her Headmaster. Even if Tom was willing to support her financially, it was a huge step. She gave Evan and Narcissa a tight smile. "Sorry we disappeared. Thank you for coming. It's lovely."

	Evan frowned at that and looked his sister over. He took her hand and led her into another room, where everyone wasn't standing. He kissed her forehead. "Alright. What's wrong?" He asked as he looked her over carefully. "What happened?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Christina shook her head, taking the key out of her pocket to show Evan. "Tom asked me to move in with him," she said. "Because I'm seventeen now. I said... I mean, I told him the truth, basically. I'd love to, but I don't feel like I can until I'm not a student at his school anymore."

She ran a hand through her hair. "He's just hurt because I said no and I don't blame him. And now I'm hurt because he's upset with me."

	"It'll be fine, Chrisitna. You did the worst thing you could to a man." Evan kissed her forehead. "You bruised his ego. He's going to be fine later. He'll probably even apologise. But, he'll understand." He smiled. "Come on. Lucius got you a really nice necklace and I want you to open it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Christina pouted at Evan. As long as Tom got over it. "Okay," she said, leaning in and kissing Evan's cheek. "Do I at least get to keep Lucius's present? You're not going to make me return it?" She hooked her arm through Evan's, walking back into the room with him. "I swear he's started to just buy you things to see you get annoyed that he spent money on you."

They walked into the room, where the lights had been dimmed and the candles on her cake were burning. Christina smiled at everyone. "You really don't have to sing to me."

	"Well. It's working." Evan told her with a grin. "And no. You can keep whatever he got you. I just didn't want him to spend so much on you that he could have bought you a French Villa." Tom smiled at her. "We have to sing to you. It's your birthday." He said, then led the song for her, waving his hands as her friends sang. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Narcissa sang Happy Birthday to Christina, stepping on Lucius's foot so he'd do it too, even if he did roll his eyes. Christina waited until the song ended, then went to the cake and blew out her candles.

She smiled, moving closer to Tom and kissing his cheek. "I love you," she whispered. "Thank you." Christina pulled away to take the candles out of the cake. "Let's cut this up and see what kind it is, shall we?"

	Tom didn't know what was wrong with Christina. He'd woke up to hear her in his bathroom crying. He rubbed at his eyes and got out of bed, coming his hair back before he walked to where she was. He knocked on the door. "Chris?" His voice was soft as he leaned against the door frame. "You alright in there, love?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Christina knew what was wrong. She'd been really, desperately hoping that her suspicious would be... that she wouldn't be right about it, but she'd used two tests and they both showed the same results.

She wiped at her eyes when she heard Tom's voice, trying to decide what to do. She felt so scared. What if Tom didn't want her now? Her parents were going to kill her. "I didn't mean to wake you up," she said, after checking to make sure the door was locked. "I'm sorry."

	"It's okay. If you're crying, I want to be woke up." Tom promised her as he ran a finger over the door. He frowned to himself. Why wasn't she letting him in the bathroom. He sighed. "Why aren't you opening the door, Chrissy?" Tom asked. "Tell me what's wrong so I can help." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Christina looked at the pregnancy tests again, letting out a breath. Tom was going to find out eventually. She'd rather tell Evan and cuddle with him and let him tell her everything would be okay, or maybe make plans to make sure it was okay, but Tom was here and she wasn't going to be able to hide it from him forever.

Christina got up and opened the door, looking up at him. "I'm pregnant," she said, voice soft. "It's... I was late, but I wasn't sure, and I bought a couple tests, and I..." Christina broke down again, collapsing against Tom's chest and sobbing softly. "I'm sure now."

	Tom wrapped his arms around her and held he tightly to his chest. He looked at the tests on the counter and ran his hands up and down her back, trying to soothe her. He didn't understand why she was crying. "It's okay, Chris." Tom promised her as he picked her up in his arms and carried her into his bedroom. "It's okay, Christina. This isn't bad. This is good."
