The Quote: The shortest distance between two people is understanding each other.


Teddy stood watching his wife who was making dinner for them. He leaned against the doorway and sighed. He didn't know what to do. Vic won't talk to him unless it was about work or the family. He ran his hand through his hands. They have been married for three years and he was ready for children. He wanted a family with her and she knew it. Before they were married, they talked about having kids and they both agreed to wait a few years before they started to have children.

The first time he brought up the idea of them having children was after his twenty-fifth birthday, Vic brushed it off because she said she had somewhere to be. The second time was after her twenty-third birthday. She didn't say anything just walked out the room. They haven't talked about again until tonight when Teddy was going to bring it up when they started dinner.

Teddy made his way to his chair that was at the head of the table. Vic smiled at him when she saw him. She placed the plates with food on the table. Teddy took a couple of bites as he watched his wife. She was looking down at her food. Teddy knew that she was avoiding him after knowing each other since they were young. Teddy decide to bring up the subject if having kids again.

"Vic," She looked up at him. "I want to talk about starting a family." She dropped her fork and knife. She pushed her chair back and got up and walked out of the room through the back door. Teddy sighed as he heard the door open and close. He did something that he didn't do the first two times, he followed her.

He stepped out on the pouch to see that it was snowing. He walked to the end and leaned against the pole holding up the roof of the pouch. He saw that Vic was sitting on the swing that he placed there when they moved in. Her arms were wrapped around her. Teddy knew that she was cold. He walked down the steps and walked over to the swing. He took a seat next to her and wrapped his arms around her. Vic automatically leaned into him. Teddy saw tears rolling her face. He kissed the top of her head.

Teddy sighed, he was going to bring it up again. "Vic," He felt her stiffen. "Before we got married, we wanted kids." Vic nodded. "What happen?"

"I scared about having children," Vic said. Teddy could tell there was something she wasn't tell him. He sighed. There had to be something else.

"Vic, we talked about having children before we were married. We decide to wait a few years before we did. I'm ready for children and I want some." Teddy looked out to their yard. "I want a little girl that looks just like her mother or a little boy who is like me."

Vic got up and walked down the path before she disappeared. Teddy watched. He didn't know where she went to so he got up and went back to the house. He cleaned up the dinner dishes. He doesn't know what changed her. They were so excited to start their life together. He just wanted to start the next chapter of their life. Who to say that they would have a child or not. He wanted to try.

He waited for Vic to come back for the next couple of hours but she didn't. He went upstairs to bed.


Vic didn't know where to go so she ended up in her sister's flat. Dom just looked up when she saw her sister. She got and went to pot of tea. She made sure to add a shot of firewiskey to her sister's cup. She pressed the cup in her sister's hand. She sat on the couch next to her sister. "What is wrong?" She asked.

"Teddy brought up having kids again and I ran for it. I thought I was safe in the garden but he found me and asked why and I told him that I was scared but I knew he didn't believe me. He started talking about what our children were going to look like. I didn't know what to say. I got up and came here." Tears started to fall down her face.

Dom sighed. Vic was here the last two times that Teddy brought up the idea of children. Vic was scared about their genes, Teddy with his werewolf gene and Vic's veela gene. "Vic, I think it is time you talk to him about it because I remember you couldn't wait to have his children."

"But the healer said there is fifteen percent chance that our child could be very powerful. It could hurt me when I'm carrying it." Vic looked her sister in the eyes.

"Yes but there an eighty-five chance that you will have a normal child who looks like you and Teddy. I would like a niece or nephew who looks like you two." Vic laughed at her sister.

"Maybe you are right. I have been scared for no reason. There a fifteen percent chance that it could happen." Vic just needed her sister to knock some sense in her head.

"Go home and talk to your husband. You have something to talk about." Dom took Vic's cup out of her hand. Vic hugged her sister and went through the floo to her home.

She saw that Teddy had clean up after dinner. She looked around the downstairs to see if Teddy was around but he wasn't. She headed upstairs to their bedroom. She opened the door to see him sleeping on their bed. He looked handsome to her. She made her way to him. She tucked a loose blue hair behind his ear. She leaned down and kissed him on the lips. She knew that he would wake up from that.

Teddy opened his eyes to see his wife smiling down at him. "Vic," He wanted to say more but she placed her finger on his lips.

"Shh," She kissed him one more time. "I have to say something and you can't say anything until I'm done." Since her finger was still on his lips, he nodded. "I went to the healer before your birthday and we talked about us having kids and she told me that there is a fifteen percent that our child could be very powerful because of my veela gene and your werewolf gene." Vic could tell that Teddy wanted to say something but he stayed silent. "The thing is the baby could do me harm while I'm carrying it." Vic took her finger off of his lips.

Teddy saw the tears in Vic's eyes, he pulled her close. "Vic, everything is going to be okay. Let's look at the positive that there a eighty-five percent that we can have a normal child and no matter what we have we are going to love it." Vic nodded and Teddy leaned up and kissed her. "Now stop worrying and come to bed." Vic laughed and pulled out of his arms. Vic changed and got back into bed.

"Do you think we could start trying today?" Vic asked her husband. Teddy pulled her closed.

"Yes," He whispered before taking her lips.
