Chapter 23: No More Lies
A few weeks had passed and soon, Avery was in her seventh month. Her stomach was getting extremely large, and her body was taking on a motherly figure. She had written Riley back saying that she needed to talk with him, but made the appointment a few weeks after receiving his letter so that she would have time to prepare for what she was going to divulge to him.
She had dressed comfortably, throwing on a pair of her favorite tennis shoes, a pair of maternity jeans that Harry had bought for her, and a black t-shirt that said “Magic isn’t everything…” She told Riley in the letter that she would meet him at a local coffee shop in town, so that he wouldn’t make a scene, and more or less for her own protection. She had purposely failed to mention the meeting to Harry because she knew he would be overprotective and assume she would not be able to handle any unfortunate spell that Riley might try and send her way, but Avery knew that being in the presence of muggles would prevent any such thing from happening.
Avery had decided to have Hermione and Maria drop her off and asked them to stay nearby and make sure that nothing would go out of control. She stepped out of the Weasley’s car, and crossed the street to the North side and entered into Catherine’s Coffee House.
The smell of mocha filled her nostrils and she found herself closing her eyes almost tasting the coffee on her tongue. She opened her emerald orbs to see Riley in the back corner, waving. She smiled politely at him and made her way over to the table.
“Hi,” she said weakly, taking a seat. He sat after her out of courtesy.
“You look stunning,” he said eyeing her.
“Oh, stuff it…I’m just in everyday clothes…” She felt herself go a bit pink from the comment, and suddenly found her palms a bit sticky with perspiration.
“You always look beautiful to me, my future wife…” He winked, leaving Avery with an unpleasant feeling in her gut. Avery leaned forward and took Riley’s hands in hers. She looked into his eyes with a serious face.
“Riley…” she began, but then she did not remember what she had rehearsed. She could see the sudden shift in his facial expression go from giddy to confused and somewhat suspicious.
“Yes?” His face was contorted into curiosity mixed with nervousness.
“I…” Avery cleared her throat. “We can’t be together.” She watched his face remain calm and when he opened his mouth to speak, she cut him off. “Before you go and say anything, I just want you to know that this is not about you. It’s about me, and how I’ve been dishonest with you. I’m sorry I lied to you about everything and I don’t expect your forgiveness nor do I expect you to understand where I’m coming from.”
Riley had pulled his hands away and anger had spread through his face, down his neck, shoulders, and arms, all the way to his fingertips.
“What do you mean you were dishonest?” His voice had taken on a tone Avery was not used to. It was authoritative, and it made Avery feel extremely vulnerable.
“I lied to you about a lot of things, and I’m not proud of it, but at the time, it seemed like the only way to—”
“To what?” He spat under his breath. His voice had a definite edge. “Get through it or deal with it? The truth is always the best way to go about things, Av. I thought you knew that.” His voice grew more disappointed by the minute.
“Look, Riley, I’ve been in love with someone else since the day I started dating you, and long before that. And what’s worse is I lied to you about the baby…” She took a breath and watched his eyes change to threatening.
“What in Merlin’s name do you mean you lied about the baby?” His voice was dangerous.
“The baby’s not yours.”
The silence that filled the air after Avery had spoken was so tense that Avery felt as though her throat would stiffen and she would suffocate just sitting there. Riley’s eyes became a raging bulls and Avery’s heart started to race.
“The baby’s…not…mine?” His suppressed anger was worse than his usual outbursts. It frightened Avery, but either way, she shook her head, ‘no.’
“I can’t believe this…so you tricked me into thinking that you actually fancied me enough to sleep with me, you deceived me when you said that you enjoyed the sex, you lied about me taking away your virginity, and you went as far as making up a story that said the baby inside you was mine when it was really someone else’s?” Riley said, glaring into Avery’s eyes with warning. She suddenly felt very brave and straightened her back.
“Yes, I did. And it was all to protect the one and only man I have ever loved in my entire life.”
“Oh yeah…and who’s that?”
Avery paused before revealing the name. No more lies, she thought.
“My father.” She watched Riley’s eyes go from raging mad to pure shock and disgust.
“Your…father! You mean…HARRY?!”
Avery nodded.
“You fucking DISGUSTING CUNT!” Riley screamed and smacked Avery right across her right cheek. The pain seared through it and she could feel the heat gaining, most likely leaving a red hand print on her face. Anger suddenly rose within her.
“You FOUL BOY!” She brought her face back to face him, but he had slapped his hand across her other cheek.
“JUST WAIT UNTIL THE MINISTRY HEARS! YOUR FATHER WILL HAVE HIS AUTHORITY EVOKED AND HE WILL BE SLAUGHTERED BY THE MINISTRY MEMBERS!” She felt the tears coming on, and could not stop them. They were tears from the pain of the slaps and the pain of thinking about losing her father. She picked up her head and reached for her wand before a figure appeared out of no where and grabbed Riley by the collar, pulled him out of the booth and shoved him with one hand against the wall.
“HOW DARE YOU TOUCH MY DAUGHTER LIKE THAT YOU BLOODY RAT?!” Harry spat and brought the hand holding his wand to Riley’s throat. He whispered just enough so that Avery could hear. She noticed that all the muggles inside the shop had been frozen.
“If you ever touch my daughter the way you just did, you will lose both of your hands and I will personally deliver the punishment. You will never love her like I do. I am the father of her child. I took her virginity, and she enjoyed my cock, not yours. She confessed to me that she pictured me when she was getting shagged by you because she couldn’t bear the thought of herself under you. She loathes you, Riley, and everything about you. I’m the one she wants and loves. I’m the one she needs. And so help me, if you EVER come near my daughter again, I will kill you…and I will NOT regret it. Do I make myself clear?” Harry pressed his wand into Riley’s throat, and Riley nodded slowly. Avery could see the anger and envy in his eyes.
Harry let him go, and Riley fell to the floor. Riley stood up quickly and dashed outside the shop before Harry turned to Avery. She had tears in her eyes.
“Are you alright?” Harry asked quietly, helping his daughter to stand. Avery felt her stomach clench. It must be the baby. She put a hand on her stomach, letting her father assist her.
“I’m fine.”
When they walked out of the shop, they saw Hermione and Maria sitting in the car across the street. Both of them had worried looks on their faces, but Harry motioned for them to leave. Avery felt her father’s hand tighten around hers as they walked and soon she felt herself being tugged backwards by the belly-button into darkness.
