Chapter 10, I own nothing but Jessica Potter and the Lupin twins! Here comes Ginny to the rescue!
Victoire titled her head and pretended to think when finally she said "I don't think so baby, I have one more thing to tell you before that happens."
I froze, what was my cousin up to now? I watched as Victoire ordered her boy toy away then took a step closer to us "Teddy," she whispered as she handed him a piece of paper "I signed the twins birth certificates as their mother, as of an hour ago John and Remus Lupin's guardian is me."
My whole body seemed to go numb the moment what Victoire had said sank in. Teddy gave a sharp in take of breath and his hand wrapped around my arm tightened, he was trying not to attack his ex-wife.
"You can't take the boys away from Teddy," I whispered as I looked at her in disbelief "You would really sink this low?"
"I'd do whatever I had to do to keep my boys," Victoire said as she ran a hand through Remus's hair.
"No," Remus shoved Victoire's hand away then him and John ran behind me and Teddy. "You're not our mommy,"
"They have a point Victoire," I looked behind my cousin to find my mom with a look of disgust pointed at my oldest cousin. "Those boys are not yours, and you better believe Harry and I will not stand for this. Those kids are Jess and Teddy's; I will give you anything you want. All you have to do is leave London right now and never bother those four again."
Victoire turned toward my mother, completely forgetting about me and Ted, and said "You have room to talk, when did you start acting like a real mother? When James was born, that would explain why Jessica's so screwed up."
"Don't talk to my mother like that," I said as hurt flashed into my mom's eyes
"Oh shut up Jessica," Victoire said still turned away from us.
"Let's leave, we'll run away with the boys." Teddy whispered
"Teddy we can't kidnap the boys," I hissed as I realized just why my mom was keeping Victoire talking, she wanted us to run for it as well. "Where would we even go?"
Teddy looked around then whispered "Malfoy Manor, Draco and aunt Narcissa said if I ever needed to stay there I could."
"Teddy's its wrong, so wrong. And when they finally found us we could go to prison." I whispered trying to get him to see how absurd the idea was.
Teddy looked at his ex wife then whispered "I'm not leaving my boys, they don't want to go."
I looked at mother and my cousin then at Teddy and whispered "Take the boys and go, I'll make sure no one see's you leave. I'll come by the manor tonight to see you, and I'll try to talk to Kingsley and the head of magical child safety."
Teddy planted a kiss on my lips before grabbing the boy's hands and quickly leaving the Leaky Cauldron. I turned around as a slap came form behind me. I turned to find my mom holding her cheek and throwing death glares at my cousin.
"You stupid veela," I was cut off by my mother before I could finish my sentence. She grabbed my arm and pulled me outside "That girl slaps like a sissy." She whispered as we walked toward WWW.
"Mom, thanks for coming and helping Ted get away. "I whispered
Mom stopped walking as we got to the door of my families pranking shot. Tears were in her eyes as she whispered "Do you hate me Jessica? Do you really think I'm a bad mother?"
My throat began to hurt and I tried unsuccessfully to blink away the tears "Mom, I use to think you were the worst mother in the world. But when I turned seventeen and realized just how hard it was just being me I realized how hard it must have been to be a mother and a wife." By now tears were falling down my cheeks as I finally came to turns with my feelings "When I was attacked on Halloween and I got pregnant, I blamed you for not protecting me. Then when I lost the baby I blamed you for not protecting the baby, I thought that you made sure there was nothing that could've been done so I wouldn't have to be a teen mom."
My mom let out a cry and pulled me into a hug "Oh baby, why didn't you ever tell me? How could you think I'd have something to do with that? You loved the baby after you thought about it, I would've paid for every type of thing possible both muggle and wizard if it meant your baby could've lived."
"I use to think you hated me too, because I was never the daughter you wanted." I whispered looking anywhere but at my mom.
Mom grabbed my chin and forced me to look at her "You are the daughter I always wanted. You're smart, beautiful, clever, brave, and so damn opinionated. That's the daughter I want, and I was blessed with two perfect daughters."
For the first time in all my twenty four years of living my mother and I were finally letting go of our negative feelings. I was finally explaining why I hated my mother, or why I use to. We were finally coming to terms with our mother/daughter relationship.
Mom grabbed my hand and whispered "Let's get home, we'll tell your father what has happened. Then we'll find a way to get custody away from Victoire."
