"DADDY!" Hannah yelled as she felt her contractions become stronger
"DADDY GET DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW ITS TIME!" she was gripping her stomach
feeling excruciating pain
The WHOLE family awoke and all ran to the staircase, with the exception of Harper, but Hermione had been feeding him so he was being held.
Harry rushed downstairs and told Hermione to meet them at St Mungos when everyone had gotten ready.
Harry sent Hedwig to Landon and his parents, and prayed that Landon would recieve the letter in time to get out of his summer training schedule and come in time for the delivery.
Landon hadn't been around as much as he would have liked to have been, he came home one week a month (sometimes less than that) and those times werent enough to fill the loneliness that had been haunting Hannah, it was in times like these that she was so thankful to have such a large loving family. the kids were always cordial enough to help her around the house when she needed, she had moved back in with the Potters in the last 2 months of her pregnancy, because it was beginning to get too hard to do it all on her own.
When they arrived at St Mungos, Hannah was hours from full dialation, and Harry felt a brush of relief come over him when he saw Landon run through the doors.
As they waited outside, Harry had prepared a speech to give Landon, but now it didnt seem as easy as it had before.
"Landon, I was hoping to have a talk with you, before all the kids and my wife get here"
Harry had always been friendly and welcoming to Landon, but by his tone, Landon could tell there was something deeper on his mind.
"Of course Mr Potter"
"My daughter is in there about to have your child, I know I dont have to tell you how huge that is to me,"
"Yes Sir"
"But you cant help raise a child for less than 3 months out of the year, and you cant put all that on Hannahs shoulders either. When she married you Landon, she gave up a lot that she could have been doing for herself, she could have been anything she wanted to be, but she decided to be your cheerleader, your wife, your support, your comfort, your shoulder to cry on, and mother to your children. Im not sayin i disapprove of your job, because u are supporting my daughter in the best way you know how and I support that. But i am also aware that you are talented in other areas, areas that would allow you to quit following your dream and be with Hannah and the baby"
Landon could only stare at the floor, in the midst of all of his Quidditch he had never really thought about his career in that way
"When i got Hermione pregnant in our 7th year, she gave me a choice, she wanted me to go to the Academy, she didnt want me to marry her, or give up on account of her, so we compromised. I took a low key job at the Ministry, and instead of becoming the Auror she wanted to be she decided to give into one of her other loves, writing. Hannah understands the sacrifices you make for love, and she has been making those sacrifices to you for 3 years now, and you have made her more money than she would need in a lifetime... but now its time for you to realign your priorities, and figure out what kind of father you want to be to your child"
"Mr Wood," Harry and Landon both looked up to see a mediwitch standing at the door, "You may see your wife now"
Harrison hadnt been with his family as much lately as he had hoped. In fact he hadn't done much but exchange a few letters with his parents. His training had drained his life of everything he had previously thought he wanted. He came home every night to an empty apartment. And the toll it was taking on him lately was strong.
Hamilton tried to stop worrying about Hilary. He began to regroup and focused strongly on his own life. His siblings were all doing well, Hallie had been caught snogging Jenson Andrews in the hall and had been assigned a month worth of detention.
Hailey's had been more and more intrigued by Josh lately and she soon found herself wanting more from him than just a friendship, but every time the thought came to her mind she would dismiss it.
Though Hamilton told himself that Hilary was nothing to worry about pretty soon it became clear that something was wrong. Her roommates came up to him telling him about her crying, and how often she stayed in her dormitory now. And it scared him in fact it scared all the Potter children, the ones at Hogwarts at least
It was over. That was all she could think about. After eight months of secret ventures, endless kisses, and late nights in the room of requirements... it was over... Luke said he couldn't wait any longer for her to finally grow up. Hilary had tried... so hard to make herself do it, but in the end it was all so scary she couldn't even imagine doing it.
One night she had convinced herself to try, they were in the room of requirement and they had been kissing, and she told him
"Take me"
Luke looked at her, and smiled, she wanted so much to make him happy with her that she told herself it didnt matter what they did as long as they were together. But as he began making his advances on her, she felt her stomach churning, and she froze. Unable to do anything, she couldn't look at him, couldn't move, and when Luke saw this he became angry.
"I can't believe you" he yelled "I go through hell, making sure your brothers and sisters dont find out about us, trying to keep my friends out of the loop, and u know what YOU CANT EVEN DO THE ONE THING THAT I HAVE ASKED OF YOU. You are so selfish, you are supposed to love me, but you cant even do that right"
That night she cried herself to sleep. What was wrong with her? She couldn't sleep well at night, she would dream about him, with other girls, glaring at her, hating her. She couldn't be awake without seeing him and thinking about him in everything that she did.
She knew people were worried, they had never seen her like this, partly because they never saw her. But now she was in the dormitory all the time alone, usually crying. Her siblings tried to find out what was wrong with her but she knew they wouldnt help. There was only one person who could. And he wasnt speaking to her.
He would pass her in the halls without a second thought, not even a glance. And when she would acknowledge him, he would practically throw himself at the closest available girl.
She was so upset, so hurt, so mad, so unimaginably upset. And there was no one to confide in... no one knew the agony she had been going through and nobody knew the emptiness that lingered.
One day after heading back from her classes, she felt a tap on her shoulder and she prayed it was Luke wanting to take her back. Her heart sunk when she saw it was only Matthew Weasley.
"We need to talk" he said
she didnt understand, they hadnt spoken much in the last few months, they ate meals together but that was basically the extent of there relationship
"What is with you lately. I have known for a long time that there was something up with you, something that you werent telling me, but lately u have me worried as hell"
She wasnt listening to him, she was looking away as far away as she could to try to get out of this situation
"Shit, all your brothers and sisters have been asking me, and i dont know what to say. LOOK AT ME HILARY! What is wrong?!?"
"NOTHING just leave me alone"
That night she didnt show up at dinner, or breakfast the next morning. She was sitting in the library, trying hard to bring up her slipping grades when Luke slipped her a note.
ROR now – L
She left right away, as fast as she could.
She opened the door and threw herself at him
"Im so sorry Luke, I miss you so much, no one knows me like u do!"
"Shut up you little whore," he was mad, his lips were snarling as he spoke "Now i know the real reason u couldn't have sex with me, u were holding out for Weasley"
"What? Luke no, it was you only you, i love you so much"
"No you dont if you loved me like u say you do, you would have had sex with me and you didnt"
It was then that she realized there was only one thing she could do to make things right between them. Whether or not she wanted to it was the only thing that would keep them together... so she did...
Mellow dramatic? Intense? I tried to make it seem realistic... sorry if it screws up the characters a bit.. i thought it was okay... tell me what you think!
Yes i know Hilary is young... She turned 12 in the midst of the eight months... but girls ESPECIALLY insecure girls often have trouble controlling there emotions when in aggresive relationships... she didnt do what she did out of some awkward pleasure thrill.. she did it out of fear... and she has ALWAYS wanted to fit in and she feels like she doesnt have friends... besides him that is the reason for her choice...i promise it will add to the story...(FYI i know people who lost the big V at age 12...)
