Chapter 3

Severus fell silent, he waited patiently for Aurora's response. She sat quietly throughout Severus's story reflecting on what he was telling her. It took a few moments for her to find her voice. "I'm sorry about Megan's death" she began in a low whisper "But why didn't you trust me enough to tell me. I'll admit that our relationship was rocky at first but it has always been strong". She stopped and looked at him, he looked pale (well paler than normal) and uncomfortable.

A few moments of silence past, Aurora remembered the part about how he went to visit Carla every weekend, she began to feel angry 'You have been lying to me constantly throughout our relationship about where you have been at the weekend' at this Severus began to look even more uncomfortable. He stood up quickly and began to pace the room and refused to look Aurora in the eyes. "STOP IT, STOP IT NOW" Aurora screeched "I hate it when you do that stop avoiding the conversation, why did you feel the need to lie to me?"

"I did it because I thought it was for the best, I may have been wrong choice"

"MAY HAVE BEEN THE WRONG CHOICE, IT WAS WRONG CHOICE"

Severus tried again "What would you have done in my situation Aurora? I was looking out for my daughter's safety, Yes I should have told you earlier about Carla but I didn't, I didn't want our relationship to affect my daughter" he knew as soon as he said it that it was the wrong thing to say. Aurora's face went bright red you could almost see the steam coming out of her ears.

"WELL IF THAT'S THE CASE IS OUR RELATIONSHIP WORTH IT? GET OUT!" she roared at him.

"No, I didn't mean it like that"

"GET OUT!" she roared again.

"No I am not leaving this room until this is sorted out"

Aurora paced the room and eventually took her anger out on the nearby wall, she punched, hit and screamed at it until her voice was nearly gone and her knuckles were red raw and bleeding. She slumped to the bottom of the wall and began to cry.

Severus kept out of her way not knowing how to handle this situation. He hated being in this position like he had with Megan's pregnancy. Aurora regained her voice and said in a calmer voice "You have already made your feelings clear if I had meant anything to you, you would have included me in that part of your life. I mean nothing to you" she sobbed "I'm just that stupid bimbo who believes all the lies and is just there for sex." She began to cry again.

Severus walked closer to Aurora, he sat down next to her and tried to put his arm around her to consol her but she shrugged him off. He then got a twisted feeling in his stomach, what if she ended it with him? What would he do without her?

"Aurora, I don't think of you as the bimbo nor do I participate in this relationship just for the sex, you mean a lot to me more than I can express at this time. Please don't do this don't end this?"

"I don't want to come between you and your daughter" she replied in a harsh voice. "You won't" he answered.

He then moved to hug her again, this time she let him. She felt weak for doing this but as cliché as it sounds she couldn't imagine her life without him. As she said before their relationship was strong they could get through this.

He breathed a sigh of relief when she returned his hug. He knew this wasn't the last he would hear about this but at least they were still together.
