Chapter 26
Draco POV
Sev's door was, thankfully, unlocked. I rushed in to see Raven sitting on the couch, talking to Sev. I breathed a huge sigh of relief. He seemed fine. I couldn't help but hug him. He was slightly trembling.
"Draco, I saw you five minutes ago. What's wrong with you?" I hugged him tighter and tried to will his trembling away.
"I was just told that you were unresponsive. By Potter none the less. I have to make sure you're okay."
"I'm fine."
"Then why are you trembling?" I felt the couch move as Sev got up. I looked over to make sure he got up okay. He was already getting pretty big. I didn't want him falling or anything.
"You're going to have to tell us what was in your memory, Raven. I can't let it haunt you," Sev stated as he headed to the bathroom.
Raven rolled his eyes. "It was nothing. A simple memory from when I was five." He smiled, but it didn't reach his eyes.
"We all know your childhood was filled with abuse and neglect. What was it?" He shook his head at me like a stubborn two year-old.
Sev walked back into the room, wiping his hands on his pants. "Sirius will be here within an hour. Maybe Raven will talk to him."
Raven was now sitting on my lap with his hands on my chest. He painfully pushed himself up. "Papa's coming?"
Sev nodded and laughed at Raven's expression. I groaned. Sirius was going to have my head. It didn't matter that the baby was Potter's. That reminded me of the reason Raven had stormed off. "Have you told Potter yet?"
He shook his head. "I didn't get a chance. We got to talking about Vernon and I thought of… things."
I fought against the urge to ask him about his memory again. "We need to tell him soon."
"I know." He got off of my lap and pulled me up. "He's probably still with Blaise in the common room. Let's go tell him now." I kissed his forehead and stepped towards the door.
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," said the forgotten potion master. "Tell Potter What?"
"That we're pretty sure my baby's his." Severus had to pick his jaw up from the floor.
"I knew that spell couldn't be faulty."
I rolled my eyes and again headed towards the door. "Come and get us or something when Sirius gets here."
Raven POV
I skipped my way back to the Slytherin dorms. I was nervous, but I was trying to hide it with hyperness. I couldn't tell how well it was working. Draco trailed behind me at a more sedate pace. I wondered what would happen after this. Would Potter get in the way of things just because he's the biological father? I couldn't see him doing that, but then again, he'd fucked up a lot of things in my life.
I stopped directly in front of the entrance to Slytherin. "Salazar." The wall opened and let us through. I was right in figuring Potter would still be here. Blaise was straddling his lap. That alone would have made me think things were going on. Then add the fact that they were making out like they would die if they weren't playing tonsil hockey. I couldn't help it, I laughed. The noise seemed to startle them and they broke apart, Blaise blushing at the prospect of being caught. Potter, of course, just smirked. "A little too much fun there, Blaise?" I asked. Draco just growled and pulled me tight against him. I rolled my eyes. Potter was little to no threat to me now. "Draco, I thought we talked about this." He hugged me closer for a second before he let me go and took my hand. At least he was trying.
I walked closer to the couch and stood in front of Potter. Blaise was still in his lap but he got off in favor of sitting next to him. Blaise looked at me reassuringly and Draco squeezed my hand.
I took a big breath and let it out. "Potter, I should let you know that I'm pregnant." Potter just sat there and cocked his head to the side.
"Well congratulations. But what does this have to do with me?"
"We think you're the father." He laughed. Just flat out laughed. My bottom lip popped out in a pout and began to tremble as tears stung my eyes. I didn't like being laughed at. Noticing my tears, Draco pulled me back against his chest and cuddled me to him.
"What the fuck is wrong with you?" he yelled at Potter.
The laughter stopped. "I'm sorry." There was no laughter in his voice. "I thought you were joking."
"Who jokes about that?" said Draco. I was slowly getting ahold of myself.
"Ron does sometimes… but really, I didn't mean to laugh at you Raven."
I nodded while turning around and wiping my eyes. "Doesn't matter. I've been overly emotional lately." There was an awkward silence in the room. Nobody knew what to say.
Blaise, tired of the silence, eventually broke it. "We might as well get this over with." He stood up and dragged Potter with him so that they were standing a foot away from me. Blaise got behind Potter and grabbed him around the waist. Draco did the same with me.
Draco's hands were covering my stomach though. "Dray, you need to move your hands." I felt him place his head on my shoulder and his hands moved downwards. The horny bastard's hands stopped right above my crotch. I groaned and grabbed his hands and placed them a little bit higher than they originally were. "Now come here Potter." I then turned to Blaise. "Three yards, Blaise. The second I growl or hiss, pull him back three yards."
Potter looked almost panic stricken. "What are we doing?"
I smirked. "Paternity test. Come here." I stepped forward a few inches.
"How is this even possible? I'm not even your mate and we've only … had sex once." I narrowed my eyes at the 'had sex' comment.
"I very well know this Potter. But as you should know, I'm a submissive half veela. I'm extremely fertile. You came inside of me. There was no use of a condom or contraceptive charm, not that it would have really mattered unless both were used." I muttered the last sentence but he seemed to catch on. I took a big breath and tried to get this test moving. "Now come here, Potter! I'd rather know if a douche bag sired my child."
"Raven! Apologize this instant!" It would have made sense to me if it had been Blaise who had said that, but on the contrary it was my very own mate who defended Potter. He must not have wanted me to get into trouble or something. I glared at Potter refusing to give in.
"No! I refuse to take back a comment that's true. Not after he laughs at me and then has the balls to say it like what he did to me was consensual. I want to get this over with so that I can go and see Papa." Draco nodded and went back to quietly giving support. "Now Potter, place your hand on my stomach. Blaise, be ready." I nodded and watched as Potter, with the pace of a sloth, reached out for where my baby now resided. I felt his touch on my abdomen. It was soft yet firm. I had no instincts to rip him to shreds. It felt almost more natural than having Draco touch it. "Well congratulations Potter. Your sperm isn't completely inadequate." I turned around to face Draco again and held my arms up, silently asking to be picked up. It might be immature but I was used to being carried when I want. Draco didn't disappoint. "Let's go wait on Papa now." I smiled sweetly at him.
He smiled back. "Anything for you Baby."
Sorry for the extremely late update. I know I told you it wouldn't be too long before I updated again. Well… I lied. I didn't mean to. But I've just been easily distracted. I got a laptop on Tuesday! I love it and now I can type my chapters before I get to my cousin's house. This means I will probably have an update every Friday. I can't make any promises though. Right now it's Saturday night. I will update this tomorrow morning when I get back to my cousin's. Night everybody!
