Jaci looked around. I wonder where Krisi and Draco went off to. It's 2:30 in the morning!
"Jaci, uh, Jaci?" Severus' voice snapped Jaci back to reality.
"Yes, dear?" Severus smiled and lifted her up.
"I'm leaving."
"But why?"
"Baby, it's two thirty in the morning. All of your family has left. Your parents are in bed, along with your brother and sister." Jaci sighed. She ran her fingers through his hair.
"I don't want you to leave."
"He doesn't have to," they heard. Severus and Jaci looked to the left, to see who it was that had spoken.
"Hello, Mrs. Leza," Severus said. "I was just leaving." Emma smiled.
"No, no Severus. Spend the night. You can sleep in the den."
"Mother, I was going to sleep there," Jaci said. Emma smiled knowingly.
"Yes, you can sleep in the inflatable bed, and Severus can sleep on the couch." She led them to the den. Soon she conjured up a pillow and a blanket and a pair of boxers with a shirt for Severus. "Sleep well," Emma said. She walked out smiling. Severus looked over at Jaci.
"Does she normally act this nice?" Severus asked. Jaci shook her head.
"Nope, I guess she likes you." She smiled. "Come on Severus let's go to bed," she purred. Severus groaned.
"Don't play around like that," he said. Jaci laughed. Severus then went to change. By the time he got back, Jaci was asleep on the bed. He smiled, and when he went to put the covers around her, she pulled him onto the bed with her.
Draco woke up with a smile on his face, and Kristie in his arms. He kissed her forehead and smiled when she sighed. Slowly she sat up and moved to the end of the bed. During the night, Draco had given her a nightshirt to wear. She sighed, and shook her head slightly.
"Do you regret it, Kristie?" he asked.
Kristie looked at him. "No, I don't ," she said getting up. Draco grabbed her arm.
"Then what's wrong?"
"No, nothing," she said trying to get away.
"Please don't start that again. What's wrong?"
"Do you know that in my family, women get pregnant very, incredibly easy?"
"No, I didn't know that," he answered. He looked down to think, when he heard Kristie sigh. Quickly he looked up.
"Don't worry Draco. In the muggle world there's this pill called the Morning After. It stops possible pregnancies."
Quickly she stood up to walk out of the room. "Did I hurt you? Is that why you're leaving so fast?" Kristie shook her head as she cleared the door. Draco got out of bed, and ran after her. He took her arm, and led he back into the room. She sighed.
"Draco, I just…don't want to get pregnant yet. I mean if I did, I don't mind, but—"
"I understand Kris," Draco said. "I'll get dressed and we'll go together."
"Are you sure?" Draco nodded. He gently kissed her.
"And if you are pregnant, I'll take care of you I promise." Kristie smiled. Draco dressed and they went to the muggle world together.
Severus growled. It was New Years Eve, and Jaci was at Lupin's. He began pacing his bedroom floor, growling again. "What could they be doing?" he asked himself referring to Lupin and Black. He trusted Jaci, just not those two.
Jaci smiled and laughed. Then she looked at her watch and sighed. "It's already four. I think I should be going, you guys."
"Aww, do you have to?" Sirius asked. Jaci laughed, and kissed both their cheeks.
"Yes, I have to, but I'll visit you guys soon, ok?" They nodded and walked Jaci out.
Severus sighed. She's finally out of there. He had been watching the house from his hiding place in the forest.
Jaci sighed, she loved this forest. It was so calming, relaxing, and this was where she and Severus had been together that first time. She heard a rustle and turned around, thinking it was Remus or Sirius. She gasped.
"Hello Jaci."
"Oh, Charlie you scared me!" Charlie smiled. "What are you doing here, Charlie?"
"I'm here to get you back," he said. Slowly, he started walking toward her.
"Charlie get away from me!"
Severus heard Jaci yell, and he began running to her. "Jaci! Jaci!" he yelled hurrying to her side. He saw her and wrapped his arms around he. Jaci are you ok?" She was looking at something behind him, so he turned and saw nothing. "Jaci what's wrong?"
"Charlie," Jaci mumbled. "Charlie was here. He said he was coming back to get me." Severus felt his blood boil. Jaci sighed, and rested her head on his chest. "I feel better now, now that you're here," she mumbled. Severus stroked her hair lightly. Jaci looked up at him. "Severus?"
"Yes?"
"Please don't leave me, or get upset at what I'm about to say."
"I would never do that."
"Severus, I…I love you." Severus looked down at her clearly confused.
"What?"
"I love you."
Severus broke out into a grin. He hugged her tighter and kissed her. "I love you too, Jaci so, so much." Jaci smiled. "Come, let us go back home. I'm sure your parents are worried."
"As worried as you were when you came to spy on me?" Severus blushed, causing Jaci to smile. She kissed him. "It's ok, I know you trust me, just the guys you don't. and I'm glad you came anyway." She placed her hand in his and they disapparated.
Charlie stepped out from his hiding place, face red, hands fisted at his sides. She told him she loves him. Love? How the hell can she be in love with him? She should love me! He turned and with a swish of his cloak, he disapparated.
