Chapter 17: Telling Kevin
When Selina arrived in the great hall, she found Kevin already there.
"Selina!" He called out when he saw her.
Selina smiled weakly and sat beside him. "Hi."
"Is everything alright? You look as if you're sick and have something on
your mind." Kevin said.
"I'm fine, I just..." Selina paused as Eric entered the great hall and began
to walk towards her. "Meet me in the library after lunch, I'll explain
then." She quickly finished.
Kevin nodded.
"How are you feeling, Selina?" Eric asked when he reached the table.
"A little better, Madam Pomfrey said it's just a bad case of the flu and
gave me a potion for it." Selina replied.
"That's good. Hopefully you'll be all better soon. It's good to see you
up and about though." Eric said.
Selina nodded.
"Well, I've got to go. I'll see you in your next class though- you've got
potions." Eric said, handing Selina her timetable, then going and sitting
at the staff table.
When she had finished eating, Selina made her way to the library to
meet Kevin. She found him waiting at a table.
"Hi." She said with a smile as she sat down.
Kevin smiled back. "I missed you over the summer."
"So did I." Selina replied sadly.
"Is everything alright, Selina?" Kevin asked again, noticing that she
seemed a little nervous.
"Well, that all depends on your reaction to what I'm about to tell you."
Selina replied.
"And what might that be?" Kevin asked.
"Well, uhh..." Selina started. "I don't really know how to say this..."
"Just say it. I won't get upset, I promise, no matter what it is you have
to say." Kevin replied.
"Well, if you insist." Selina said, her tone still quite nervous.
"I do." Kevin replied.
"Well...I'm pregnant." Selina finally replied.
Kevin looked shocked. "Oh Selina! What have you let that...that creep do to
you?" And why are you telling me of all people?"
"Well, that's the thing. It's not Eric's child. And even if it was, I'd
tell you because I trust you." Selina replied.
"Well, it's nice to know that you trust me, but whose child is it, may I
ask?" Kevin asked.
Selina took a deep breath. "It's yours." She replied softly
Kevin looked even more shocked. "Are you sure it's mine? And better yet,
are you positive you're pregnant?"
Selina got up and stood beside Kevin, pointing to her swollen belly.
"Madam Pomfrey said I was, and this confirms it. And it has to be yours.
I've never done anything like that with Eric, but we did. That night over
the summer, when I ran away..." She replied.
Kevin stared at hr belly. "I remember it well, but I never expected
anything like this to happen." He said.
Selina sighed. "Does that mean you don't want it? I knew this was going
to happen..."
"No, it's not that. I just didn't think that you'd want it, especially in
your situation with Eric." Kevin said.
"Of course I want it! I took the risk, and it's part of you, something I
just can't have enough of." Selina replied.
"I'm glad you feel that way, but won't your father or Eric make you give it
up?" Kevin asked.
"Not if I can help it. They don't know about it, they think I have the
flu. And I intend to keep it like that until the child is born in late
December or until they figure it out and ask" Selina replied.
"Selina, don't risk your life for me or our child." Kevin said, looking
directly into Selina's eyes.
Selina was on the verge of tears. "Kevin, please don't do this. I want
this child, but I also want it to have a loving father."
"Hey, if anything I love the two of you too much. If you really want to go
through with this, I wont' try to stop you. I just don't' want anything to
happen to you." Kevin replied, standing up and hugging Selina.
Selina smiled, looking relieved. "Thank you." She said, then jumped a
little as she felt the baby move.
"Are you alright?" Kevin asked, concerned.
Selina smiled again. "I'm fine, but I think our child is happy to meet its
daddy. Here, feel." She said, taking Kevin's hand and placing it on her
belly.
The baby moved again and Kevin smiled. "Active little thing, isn't it?"
"It just started doing this now." Selina said with a smile.
Throughout all this, Kevin and Selina were unaware that they were
being watched. Draco Malfoy had been in a nearby aisle looking for a book,
and had heard the whole conversation. He had heard about Selina's
engagement to Eric from his father, and immediately got an idea. He
hurried off to the Slytherin common room, and began to write a letter to
his father, explaining what he had just heard and seen. He sent it off as
soon as he finished, and just sat around happily. He had never liked
Selina, and hoped that this could be her downfall.
Selina and Kevin had noticed Draco's sudden leaving.
"I wonder what that was all about." Selina said. "Oww!" She added as the
baby kicked for the first time.
"Who knows. That must've hurt- it was pretty hard on the outside too."
Kevin replied his hand still on Selina's belly.
Selina laughed. "Perhaps it knows something we don't."
"Or maybe it's telling us to shut up so it can sleep." Kevin laughed.
This earned two kicked, then the movement slowed.
"Hmm...the two of you know each other already." Selina said quietly.
Kevin smiled. At that moment, the bell rang, and broke the moment.
"Darn! I forgot about classes!" Selina said. "I've got to go get my
things, so I'll see you in potions!"
Kevin smiled again. "Alright, just don't' be late!"
And with that, they parted.
