It was soon that time of the year where she had to visit old Uncle
Dumbledore. She had been sick this last week. Like throw up sick. She
arrived at Hogwarts' happy and ready to go. She desperately needed a
vacation from Sirius; He was clinging all over her at Grimwuald place.
Dumbledore walked in greeting her with a smile and hug. He wasn't mad at
her for pissing off Voldermort.
"Ashleigh, what a nice pleasure." He said smiling, his eyes were twinkling.
"Great to be here." She said. They went to the Great Hall for the Halloween feast. There was a new teacher at the table. A place for Ashleigh had been made next to her and Dumbledore. She recognized the toad like face almost instantly. It was Umbridge. Ashleigh hated her!
"Good evening." She said. Ashleigh smiled a small smile.
"Hello." Ashleigh said looking over toward Harry and the other kids. Her godson, Harry.
"If I remember correctly. you were Black's wife, am I correct?" She said only loud enough for Ashleigh to hear her. Ashleigh smiled. She loved this.
"Actually I still am Sirius' wife. We never got divorced." Ashleigh said a small-satisfied smile on her face.
"And why is that? Still love him? The low life murderer?" Umbridge asked. Ashleigh turned to look at her.
"Actually yes and no, see, I couldn't go to Azkaban to get the papers signed and Fudge, being the idiot he is wouldn't let me go. He also wouldn't have the papers sent. So blame my freaking marriage on your lovely boss." Ashleigh said.
"The only reason my dear boss wouldn't let you go was because you were in league with Black. You were working for Voldermort." She said. Her biggest weapon was to piss people off enough to wear they are about to assault her.
"You know, I think you have problems." Ashleigh said enjoying her mincemeat pie.
"Oh do you now?" Umbridge asked. Ashleigh nodded.
"Yes." Ashleigh stated, the feast was over and everyone was leaving to go to bed. Ashleigh wanted and needed Sirius. All of a sudden she felt sick and she ran to the closest bathroom. She threw up in one of the toilets. This had never happened to her on Halloween.
"Ashleigh, I am taking you to Madam Pomphrey." Dumbledore said. I nodded. I spent the night in the hospital wing. I was back in full health, I only got sick twice that night. It was time fore me to go back to Sirius. I wanted to be in his arms now.
"Umm, Miss Cox, can I have a word with you?" The nurse asked. I nodded.
"I ran some tests and well. you're pregnant." She said. Ashleigh's whole world crashed down on her. How long had she been pregnant? How long had she been expecting?
"How long?" Ashleigh asked her.
"3 months. It was probably conceived in September or August." She said. Ashleigh sat back down on the nearest bed. Pregnant. Pregnant. She was pregnant. With Sirius' baby.
"Is there a way you can tell who the father is?" Ashleigh asked.
"Um, yes. DO you have something of his? Something of him?" She asked. Ashleigh shook her head.
"Ok then. how about this. Do you know what he looks like?" She asked. Ashleigh nodded. The nurse waved her wand a few times and a figure started to appear. A girl of about 7 years old had blonde hair and blue eyes. Sirius' bright blue eyes, that Ashleigh loved so much.
Ashleigh went back to Grimwald place without telling anyone about the news. She couldn't, what would they think of her? But they have no right to judge her; she is 32 years old, old enough to look after a baby. A very powerful baby. Sirius noticed the difference in her over the days and kept questioning her. He had a right to know but Ashleigh didn't know if she could tell him.
"Ashleigh, tell me, what is wrong? Please?" He asked one final day. It was just after Christmas and Ashleigh was starting to show more. She wouldn't cuddle with Sirius, in case he discovered her belly himself. She wore baggier clothes to hide it.
"Sirius, I think you should sit down." Ashleigh said steering him toward the couch.
"What is it?" He asked.
"Sirius, you remember how we always wanted a family when the war was over? After we got married?" She asked him. He nodded.
"OK, well, its our chance to have one. I'm pregnant." Ashleigh said hoping his reaction was good.
"Pregnant?" He asked, he didn't sound like he believed it. Ashleigh nodded. People were in the house for Christmas and Sirius was cheerier than ever because Harry was home.
"Yeah. I am. And you're the father." Ashleigh said. He looked at the fire for a while and then he smiled. He smiled a big smile. He looked at Ashleigh and hugged her. He hugged her and hugged her tighter and tighter. Ashleigh thought he was going to smother the baby so she kind of pulled back.
"Me? You? A baby?" He said excitedly. Ashleigh nodded. He pulled her into a kiss, a very deep and passionate kiss.
"Ashleigh, what a nice pleasure." He said smiling, his eyes were twinkling.
