Characters: Nora Thompson and Griffith Kirkham
Setting: Hogsmeade; a small restaurant, Sunday around 6 pm
Summary: Nora needs to tell Griff about the bun in the oven
Rating/Status: G/PG...not finished yet

Nora stood outside of the Three Broomsticks, feeling awkward and uncomfortable in the bitter cold January wind. She let out a small sigh, watching her breath as it fogged in the air before disappearing. She'd played the exact moment over and over in her mind but still wasn't sure how she was going to tell Griff. She was afraid to be completely blunt about it and just lay everything out on the table, but if she went about it any other way she would likely cave under the pressure and avoid telling him completely. Then there was the issue of how he would react to it; opening up to someone just to have them push you away...well, the idea of that didn't set well with Nora, either. She folded her arms across her chest as she waited for Griff, looking at the small line of people as they went about their shopping. For a moment she wanted to leave and tell Griff later that she had something come up, but unfortunately for her, Griff had arrived.

Oh, bugger. She was at a loss for words. She let out a soft huff before closing her eyes. "I wanted to tell you sooner and I tried to when I...went over to your house last time," she said softly, her eyes now focusing on her tea cup.

She looked back up at him, even though it terrified her a bit. "Griff...I...I'm pregnant." She felt so vulnerable and worried that tears were beginning to well up without any response from him at all.

Though he winced at the very mention of the last time he'd seen her, it was barely a grazing blow compared to her next words. Griff's entire being ground to an abrupt halt when Nora said the absolute last words - in a list of every sentence that could possibly exist in the English language and then some - he'd thought she would.

To say Griff looked stunned would be a understatement to end all understatements.

"You're what?" he croaked tough he was not entirely sure why. He'd heard her just fine, but fuck if that wasn't ever a twist ending.

Nora bit her lower lip. She wasn't sure why she was expecting a better reaction than this, but however you wanted to word his response, it wasn't what she wanted.

She swallowed hard. "Uhm, well. From what I can figure I'm about three months along. I--didn't expect this to happen and I was so scared to tell you that I just kept putting it off." She sighed softly. "I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner."
