(Chapter 5. your...uhh...pregnant...)

Ahriman looked at her odd. "She called for me?" he asked half to himself. He stood and walked over to the woman's bed and looked down into her blue eyes. He smiled at her. "And how may I be of service?"

she still looked pale. "whats wrong with me?..." she said coughing. "I know i dont just have a cold...I've been sick for a few days." she said looking into his hansom green eyes. she felt sick and cold. she sat up and coughed again. whats wrong with me? she thought to herself. she looked up at gage again he seemed to be in some kind of trance. "Gage?" she said stairing at him

Heh, and she doesn't know? He half smiled as he looked down at the ground. "Uh...well..." He looked back up to her. He seemed to be wrestling with something. He let out a deep breath. "Uh, you're...you're...um...you're pregnant," he finally managed to say.

her eyes whidend. "I..." for some reason her eyes filled with tears and sadness. if anyone saw this they would start crying or be deply deprest. her beauty was now sadend. tears roled down her face and fell onto her lap. she couldnt control her sobs. the only thing she could say was "Tom..." and she said it in a shaky voice. what was wrong with her?

Ahriman glanced around the room anxiously as he thought of what he could do. He was tempted to hug her, but they had just met...Instead, he pulled out a small cotton handkerchief and handed it to the woman as he watched her tears.

she took it and whiped her eyes. "tom..." she said softly. "he was...my husben...and...the dark lord--as they call him-- killed my husben because he was trying to protected me..." she stoped talking and held onto her stomach then she looked up at Gage. even thou they had just met she did what he couldnt do. she huged him. her body felt so warm and soft. he could feel her heart beat next to his chest. "what...what can...i do now..." she wisperd into his chest still shaking with sobs.
Ahriman, shocked at first, wrapped his arms around the woman and held her tight as she cried. "It'll be okay," he said, his eyes misting over with his own tears at the memories of the ones he had lost...at least she would have the child, even if the father would not be there. He closed his eyes as he held her as he thought of Amelia...

"The baby could use a father," Professor Rain suggested, looking at Gage, straight in the eye.

she let go of him and got out of the bed. "well I can't stay here forever..." she said looking at him and smiling. "will you come with me to the cottage where we last were...I left my things there...I have food and cloths..." she looked out the window and then back to him her eyes had that same strong blue light. "please...wont you come with me?..." she asked him. she really wanted someone with her...she didn't want to be alone...they would come if she was alone...

Professor Rain chuckled.
They're falling in love, aren't they. She thought.
"Gage, I can go too, but if you want to..." She said smiling.

Gage stood slowly and offered his arm to Ms. Wolf. "Of course I will accompany you..." He glanced at Professor Rain, unsure of what was going on. "You can come with us if you like."

"No, I'll be fine." Professor Rain said. "You two go ahead. Be carerful, Miss."

she heald onto his arm and walked with him outside. "i'm sorry professor rain where are my manners." she sad laughing softly "I'm Tara Wolf I've come to teacher care of magical creatures. and as you heard..." she stoped trying not to start crying again. "as you just heard...there will be a new child at hogwarts soon..." she said smiling up at the gray sky. the rain fell down like rocks. and then wind almost blew them off there feet. it was verry dangorus to be out in a storm like this. thunder roared in the sky the wind was over powering they where almost there when CRACK! lightning hit an old tree with a cracking noise as loud as a cannon being fired. Tara screamed pulling Gage and professor rain out of the way of the tree. but she didn't get out in time. the rain still pooring over them professor rain and ahriman stood up. there was an old tree lieing on the ground. but Tara was no where to be seen...
