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."

"I should have been more careful. It's just... very difficult to be careful with a beautiful, tempting girl like you." Tom told her, kissing her forehead. He sat down beside her on the floor, resting back against his table.

"You could carry the child for the rest of your school year. You won't be kicked. It would be too much of a scandal for them to kick you out of school for being pregnant." He reached up and touched her hand. "And when you've delivered, it'll be around the fall, depending how far in you are. You could start classes in January for University. Move in with me. Agree to be my wife."

He touched her hand. "Or you could have an abortion and we could go on living normally."

"Your wife?" Christina repeated, looking at Tom with wide eyes. God. She didn't know what she wanted to do. He made it seem like it would be simple. She'd start university in January and everything would be fine. Lots of people took a whole year between college and university.

"I... I need to think about it," she said, touching her stomach. "Maybe you're right and it's not... maybe it can be okay. Even if I keep it." Christina reached up and wiped at her eyes. "Do you want it?" she asked. "Really?"

	"I want it." Tom nodded as he looked back at Christina, then leaned in and kissed her softly. "Only if you want it. This child wouldn't go unloved if you wanted to keep it." He smiled at her. "I'll support your decision no matter what." He told her quietly. "And if you decide to keep it, we'll just turn your room into a nursery." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

A nursery. Christina nodded, wiping at her eyes. "I have some time before I need to decide, I think," she said. "Maybe you could take me to a doctor so I know for sure."

***

Christina knew for sure now. She was eleven weeks pregnant. There was a person beginning to grow inside her, even if it wasn't a person yet. It still didn't quite feel real, but she'd managed to get Evan out of Lucius's clutches for a little while so she could tell him.

They were sitting on the couch in Tom's house and Tom had left them to it. Supposedly for a twin's night in. She twisted her hands together in her lap and then decided there was no good way to say this. "I'm pregnant," she said, looking up at Evan. "I'm pregnant and I don't know what to do."

	Evan was a bit shocked when Christina admitted that he was pregnant. They were supposed to be having a twins night in. Not a shocking scandal. He paused, looking away from the television. "I'm going to be an uncle?" Evan asked as he looked down at her stomach, then smiled. "You love Tom, don't you? Keep it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Of course I love him," Christina said. "I just... it's a baby." She looked down at her stomach too. Somehow, knowing Evan wasn't scandalized made it a lot easier to be pregnant. She touched her stomach. "Well, not a baby yet. I'm eleven weeks along."

She looked up at Evan. "Tom was happy when I told him. He couldn't understand why I was crying at first. He thinks... He offered to marry me. I'd finish school like normal. Give birth and take a semester off. Start university in January and we'd all live here. He talked about turning my room in a nursery." Christina allowed herself to smile at the thought. "He says he has job offers. If they make him resign."

"A tadpole is still a frog." Evan pointed out as he looked down at her stomach, feeling a bit nervous about it. His sister was pregnant. At least it wasn't him.

Evan looked at Christina. "It sounds like Tom would do anything in the world for you. Including switching jobs so he could start a family with you. And you'd have me around. The best god damned babysitter around."

Christina laughed softly, leaning against Evan and wrapping his arm around her shoulders. "Tom definitely wants to keep it," she said. "I think... I will. You and Tom are the two people I trust with this. I know what Narcissa would say if I asked her. Her family's so conservative."

She put Evan's hand on her stomach. "I'm not allowed to drink for like... a year now."

"A little whine won't hurt. It's just drinking excessively." Evan told her, shrugging. "I've seen girls drink that were pregnant. They'd go out and get drunk and fall all over the place."

He rubbed her stomach and grinned. "Maybe you could have a kid for me and Lucius one day. I'm in love with him, but I'm definitely not going to tell him that. But, it'd be nice having a kid with some of my genetics and his."

"No, I don't want to worry about fucking up this kid. He's already going to have a teenage mum," Christina pointed out, laughing. "Tom bought me a 1990 Chateau Latour Pauillac for our anniversary and everything. So much for that."

She wrinkled her nose. "You want me to carry around Lucius's baby? We'll have to see how much I love you. I'd like to finish school first."

"Drink it the night your baby is born." Evan told her with a grin, rolling his eyes. "Stop being so dramatic. You've got something growing inside of you that is a lot better than a 1990 Chateau Latour Pauilac."

"I don't want a kid until we finish school anyway." Evan pointed out. "And... Well. I don't think Lucius feels love towards me. So, I'd like to wait for that. If it ever happens."

"Fuck off. This baby was free. That bottle of wine cost eight hundred pounds," Christina said, shoving Evan lightly. "That bottle of wine is my dream."

She shook her head, kissing Evan's cheek. "Lucius totally loves you. Are you kidding? Haven't you seen the way he looks at you? Lucius Malfoy thinks you're the prettiest pony in the world. He wants to buy you diamonds and write songs about your bum."

Evan snorted at that. "He only wants to buy me diamonds to piss me off. That's why he does that. Because he's a giant cunt." He informed her, then shook her head.

"He doesn't love me." Evan told her quietly. "But, Tom loves you. And your life is going to be really good. You're going to be taken care of. And I'll make Lucius throw you a baby shower and buy you an expensive crib."

	Christina was pretty sure Evan was wrong, but she nodded, kissing his cheek. "I love you," she told him. "Don't tell anyone else about me being pregnant yet, but when we're ready definitely make Lucius buy me stuff and throw me a big party." She ruffled Evan's hair. "I just hope I don't fuck this kid up, you know? I want to be good at this whole parenting thing." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"That's the whole role of being a parent, Christina. Fucking your kid up." Evan shook his head and looked her over. "Just be good to it and treat it well and that's all you can hope to do for a kid." He kissed her forehead. "You won't fuck this up. You've always taken care of me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"Yeah, well, you've done a pretty good job at taking care of me too," Christina pointed out, smiling at him. "You'll be a great uncle, Ev."

***

Christina was doing her best to ignore the way the other girls at school were looking at her and her swollen belly. She was just pregnant. It wasn't like she'd killed anyone. Narcissa stood by her, at least.

Christina hadn't told anyone who the father was yet and the staff seemed to think of he as a troubled girl Tom was trying to guide into the light now, so when she spent most of her breaks tidying up the office or something, they didn't protest.

Today she walked past the main part of the office for Tom's private office, after checking girls weren't peering in after her, and closed the door behind herself, locking the door and leaning against it. "I hate school."

Tom looked up at Christina. They'd done a well enough job at keeping who the father was quiet, but it really didn't matter to him. He wanted to tell everyone that the baby was his. That he was going to be a father.

He stood and walked around his desk, kissing her softly. "You don't hate school. You just hate people staring at you. Remember how much you wanted to stay in school and go to Uni."

	Christina laughed softly, wrapping her arms around Tom. "Right," she agreed. "I hate bitches. Not school. I'm not going to quit, Tom. I won't let them get to me." She looked up at him, kissing him again. "Things will be better after I finish and move in with you for good." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	That was a sore subject with Tom. Even though she was pregnant, she still wouldn't move in with him. He sighed softly and pet at her hair, then kissed her forehead before he pulled back. "How about we get out of here?" Tom asked, grabbing a letter from his desk. "Let's go get lunch. I bet you're craving something." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I really want beets," Christina admitted, after a moment. "You could just buy me a can of beets and I'd eat them and be happy. I'm just... I don't know. I want beets." She looked up at Tom, smiling. "Beets and maybe some french fries. Do you think we can manage that?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"We can definitely manage that." Tom nodded as he kissed her neck and smiled. He led her out of the office and looked at the women looking at them, giving Christina pathetic looks. He frowned at that, tossing the envelope down onto her desk.

"This is my letter of resignation. I'm going to take my girlfriend out to lunch. Our baby wants beets." He informed them all, then wrapped an arm around her. "I'll be back to collect my things in the morning. I got a job offer to work for a University. Come on, Christina."
