Affairs of the Dangerous Hearts

Chapter sixteen: 1, 2 and a baby makes 3

It was now late November and Amelia had had the dark mark on her writs for over three weeks now and hadn’t been called to a meeting since.

Amelia sat in her office, looking down at her wrist. The mark on her wrist was now hardly visible. She looked down feeling slightly dizzy and nauseas, actually she had been feeling like that for a bit lately and she didn’t know why. It was odd. She had never felt like this before.

Amelia thought that it might have been from the Dark Mark since she hadn’t felt the same since she had received it. She had been a lot angrier. She looked down at her wrist and saw the big black mark that she wished she had never received.

Amelia stood up from her chair and left her office thinking that it would be a good idea to go and have a check up incase there was something wrong with her. She walked through the hallways and up to the infirmary. She looked around the infirmary for madam Pomfrey but did not see her around so she over to Madam Pomfrey’s office.

“Hello Poppy.” Amelia smiled.

“Oh hello there Amelia.” Madam Pomfrey walked out of her office. “Is there something you would like?”

“Yes actually. I have been feeling quite I’ll for about three weeks now. I was wondering if you would be able to find out what’s wrong with me.” Amelia replied.

“Oh yes dear. Sit down.” Madam Pomfrey motioned over to a chair. Amelia sat down. “Now tell me what kind of Ill you have been feeling.”

“Dizziness and feeling as though I’m going to vomit, but I don’t.” Amelia informed.

“Oh I will be back.” Madam Pomfrey walked into her office and grabbed a vial then walked back over to Amelia. “Have you been having any sexual relations in the past few months?”

“Yes.” Amelia blushed.

“Hmm.” Madam Pomfrey took the top of the vial off. “Take this.”

“Ok.” Amelia took the vial and swallowed the liquid. Madam Pomfrey looked in to Sarah’s eyes.

“Oh, just what I thought.” Madam Pomfrey took away the vial.

“What is it?” Amelia asked with fear.

“You are pregnant.” Madam Pomfrey. “About three months I say.”

“What?!” Amelia was stunned. She put her head down in-between her legs as she began to feel sick again. “I can’t be.”

“The vial never lies my dear. Do you know who the father may be?” Madam Pomfrey asked.

“Yes.” Amelia nodded. It was Severus’s child. It couldn’t have been Lucius’ child. She wasn’t able to conceive from him. He had cast a spell on her to keep her from getting pregnant by him while they were having their affair.

“I will leave you to have a little time to yourself.” Madam Pomfrey walked into her office. Amelia breathed deeply. What was she going to do? She couldn’t bring a child in to the world now. It was not safe for her to do so, and she also thought that Severus didn’t love her. She couldn’t tell him that she was going to have his child until she knew he loved her. And it had only been a short time since then had been together. He wasn’t going to fall in love that easily.

Amelia slowly stood up and walked out of the infirmary. She didn’t want to seem as though she was trying to keep Severus in a relationship with her by having a child. She loved him she knew she did, but she didn’t think that he returned the feelings she felt for him back to her. Amelia had a simple plan to find out of Severus loved her or not, she highly doubted that he would. She was going to ask him straight out if he did.

Amelia walked down to the dark corridors and over to Severus’s office. She stood at his door and took in a deep breath she couldn’t believe that she was actually going to have a child. She knocked on the door.

“Severus?”

“Come in Amelia.” Severus muttered. Amelia opened the office door and walked in. She didn’t see Severus in his office.

“Severus?”

“I’m in my room.”

“Oh.” Amelia walked in to Severus’ room and saw him standing at his shower door. “Sorry to bother you I’ll just wait.” Amelia sat down on the edge of Severus’ bed.

“Very well.” Severus walked back in to his shower and finished off. Amelia looked down at her stomach and put her hand on it. She heard the water stop running and moved her hand away. Severus walked back in to him bedroom and over to his neatly folded pile of night clothes. Amelia waited till he was fully dressed. “So what is it that you want to talk to me about?” Severus asked, sitting himself down next to her.

“Do you love me?” Amelia asked in a whisper.

“Pardon?”

“Do you love me Severus?” Amelia looked up at him. Severus looked at her directly in the eyes. There was a long pause. “I thought so.” Amelia felt a few tears fall down her cheek.

“Amelia? What’s wrong?” Severus asked.

“Oh nothing.” Amelia wiped away her tears.

“I do love you.” Severus murmured.

“Don’t say that because I’m crying Severus. I want the truth.” Amelia sniffed. Severus held her head in his hands and kissed her.

“I do, really.” Severus rested his forehead on hers. Amelia looked at his eyes. He was telling the truth, it was all there. She could see it. “Is that all you wanted to talk to me about?”

“Um, no.” Amelia moved away from him.

“Well out with it then.” Severus sat back.

“Severus I am… ah… pregnant.”

“Sorry?” Severus thought that he had misunderstood what Amelia had said.

“I’m pregnant.” Amelia repeated. There she goes. She knew that he wouldn’t want to have a child. Especially now, with a girl that he had only been with for a short time. Severus had frozen.

“As in there is a child growing in your stomach?” Severus asked.

“Yes.” Amelia nodded. Severus stood up and paced the room.

“Is it Lucius’?”

“No.” Amelia shook her head

“How do you know?” Severus stopped pacing and looked at Amelia.

“Because when we were together he put a spell on me so I can’t ever conceive his child.” Amelia explained.

“How far along?”

“3 months.” Amelia stood up ready to leave. He didn’t want to have the child.

“Where are you going?” Severus stood in front of his bed room door so that Amelia would not leave.

“Severus I know you do not want the baby. I’ll just leave now.” Amelia frowned. Severus moved his hand down and placed it on her stomach.

“It’s mine. I want it, and I want it with you.” Severus moved his hand around her hard stomach.

“Um.” Amelia didn’t know what to say. She could feel the tears well up in her eyes. She wrapped her arms around Severus’s neck and kissed him. Amelia was so relieved.

“Come.” Severus pulled Amelia over to the bed. “How about you?”

“Do I love you?” Amelia asked as she lay down on top of him.

“Yes.”

“I’ve loved you since I was 17, I pretty much still love you now.” Amelia smiled.

“Good.” Severus turned Amelia over and began to kiss her. Severus slowly and carefully undressed her paying quite a bit of attention to her stomach. Amelia was relieved that she didn’t have to have a child on her own and was going to have with the man that she had loved for a long time.

Severus took off his last piece of clothing and got back in to the bed, pulling his black silk sheets over both of them. He led a trail of kisses from her neck down to her stomach. He slid his hands down the side of Amelia’s thighs and pulled her legs up so that they were bent. He placed himself at Amelia’s entrance and slid in. Their lips touched and pretty much stayed that way for a long while.

Severus moved slowly, not knowing if it would cause problems. He tried to move a little faster, but decided to keep it slow for now. Amelia was moaning softly with pleasure. Severus loved listening to her moans as they made it better for him.

“Severus?” Amelia groaned.

“Yes.”

“You can go faster. This is a bit too slow.” Amelia laughed. Severus went faster. Amelia began to moan louder. Severus could hear Amelia whispering his name with each thrust. This turned Severus on even more. Severus went as hard and as fast as he could. The bed was rocking and creaking with each of his thrusts. Amelia dug her nails in to Severus’s arms as she felt herself convulse.

“Amelia.” Severus grunted, as he let his load go inside of her. Amelia pulled Severus’ head down and slid her tongue in to his mouth. Severus rolled off of her but kept her close to him.

“I guess we are alright then?” Amelia queried.

“We are more then alright, my love.” Severus smirked. Amelia smiled. “Come here.” Severus put his arms around her and placed his hands on her stomach. And with that they both fell asleep.
