Victoria!
It had been a rough week. Last weekend a good friend of his and Victoria's, a former teammate actually from the Meteorites, had died in a broom crash with his family. Something about faulty breaks, the charms---It had been devastating, and the trip back to Moosejaw and then back to England still had him suffering from Portkey-Lag.

So when his lawyer called him in for an early morning meeting last night, Vinny was really not looking forward to it. He had no idea what it could be about, but was more than surprised to see his girlfriend waiting outside the offices.

"Hey," he leaned down to give Victoria a kiss, but was looking more than surprised at seeing her, "What are you doing here?" To have the both of them there made his insides start to twist; this couldn't be a good thing, could it? What if it was something that the papers had made up and they were questioning things?

"The more the---" She was saying yes! Oh God, Victoria had just accepted this life long responsibility! Sure, sure Vinny had been finding himself jealous of Davy and his budding bundle of joy, and sure, he'd imagined he'd already have two kids by now if he and Marlie had gotten to live their lives but this was----unexpected and surprising and not----

He loved Victoria, he did. He was beyond happy with her and she made him feel alive but they weren't even living together! They were still new and exciting and how was he supposed to know after only dating for five, six months that he wanted to have a family with her?! They weren't married, would they have to get married? He didn't want to get married yet! Oh God, he felt like a terrible person for thinking these things, but it was true!

"I know, I just--" he tried to respond to Victoria, but his heart was racing too fast and he was in absolute and complete shock as to what to do. He needed time. He wanted to push the baby into Victoria's arms since--well she looked ready to panic too, but she was the only one capable of speaking at the moment so she was doing a better job than him. "It's too damn early for this."

The curse earned him another swat in the mouth and Vinny let out a nerve-filled laugh.

"I know it is." But thinking about little Ava standing outside of some terrifying orphanage clutching at the skirts of some stern looking headmistress was a bit too much for Victoria to handle. She was sure that she loved Vinny, and this didn't -- have to change things completely if he didn't want it to.

"We could always just," and she waved a hand in front of her, vaguely grasping at something right or logical that would calm them both down, "I mean, it doesn't have to change things all that much. We don't have to like, get married or something." It didn't count as having a child out of wedlock if they hadn't actually had the child themselves, right?

And this way they could just take turns at each others' houses for a while, and if things went completely pear-shaped it would just be like a divorced couple having to share a child. Either way things might go, she didn't want to just toss Ava out on her cute little behind.

She was suddenly glad they were on different Quidditch teams - glad that they had slightly different training schedules even if it made finding time for each other hard. It would be even harder now, but...

Victoria held her hands out for Ava, letting the toddler settle onto her lap. Holding on to the girl at least made the sensation of possibly passing out go away temporarily.
