Chapter Twelve – Seeing Ben

The next day, Harry took Peyton to see Ben. All the way to the hospital Harry tried to talk to Peyton but she wouldn't reply to anything that he said. When she wouldn't talk to him Harry became worried about her and her state of mind. All he could think about was what if everything that happened in Peyton's life and relationship so far had made her state of mind regress. Once they were inside the room that Ben was in Harry left Peyton alone with him while he spoke to the doctor outside the room.

"How is he?" Harry asked.

"Are you related to him in anyway?" the doctor replied.

"That girl in there is my daughter and his girlfriend. His brother is her sister's fiancé. I would say that that makes me related to him. Besides my daughter is going to want to know how he is. Don't tell me that you're going to make me say that I don't know anything about him to her," Harry told the doctor strictly.

"Okay then. The operation went well. When he came in he had a punctured lung that had deflated, a couple of broken ribs and a few cuts on his face. When we operated we managed to fix the lung and it's now inflating and deflating with the help of a machine and we can't do anything about the ribs. They'll heal on their own in a couple of months. He's also broken his collarbone which has been set and dislocated his knee which we managed to pop back into place. At the moment we have him sedated but he can still hear everything that is being said in the room."

Harry nodded and watched as the doctor looked through the window.

"Hasn't that girl been here before?" the doctor asked.

"No she hasn't. I told her last night and she cried herself to sleep. She definitely hasn't been here before," Harry replied.

"I'm sure she has. I'm sure I spoke to her last night. She looked exactly the same as that girl in there."

Harry laughed then said, "It was her twin. You must have spoken to Madison last night or Maddy as I'm sure she would have introduced herself. Did she look pregnant?"

The doctor nodded.

"It was Madison that you spoke to. The girl in there is Peyton. Ben is her boyfriend."

The doctor nodded and watched as Harry let himself into the room. Harry approached Peyton cautiously and watched as she whispered to Ben. Peyton looked up at Harry and smiled.

"What's wrong with him? Why isn't he awake?" Peyton asked.

"He had a punctured lung that they fixed with surgery. That machine next to him is inflating and deflating Ben's lung. He has a couple of broken ribs that will heal in a couple of months and he's broken his collarbone and dislocated his knee. His collarbone has been set into place and they popped the knee back into the socket. He's not awake because he's been sedated but he can hear you. Peyton you have to understand that if he was awake then he'd be in a lot of pain, sedation is the best thing for him," Harry replied.

Peyton nodded and held Ben's hand.

"It's all my fault. If I hadn't run away then he wouldn't have been in the car."

Harry shook his head then said, "No it's not your fault. You did what you did because you wanted to feel safe and he did what he did because apparently he does love you. You do realise that if you don't feel safe in Oxford then you can come home and apparate to Uni each day don't you?"

"Yes but then I wouldn't be with Maddy and she needs me right now. They all need me."

"I don't care if they need you I'm more concerned about your safety. How long do you really think that you can carry on living with someone who hurts you?"

"For as long as he'll have me. He only does what he does because I don't listen to him and he needs to hurt me so that I understand and listen to what he says."

Harry grabbed hold of Peyton's hand and made her look at him.

"No, that's not true at all. Peyton he doesn't need to hurt you to make you listen to him, he hurts you because you are an easy target. What he is doing is abuse. He's bullying you and abusing you, believe me I had to live through that. It wasn't physical but it was emotional and it can scar you for life. Even if you do get out of this relationship whole then I don't expect you'll be the same girl you were before you met him. I don't want to have to be consoling your mother and your brothers and sisters because an argument went too far and you didn't survive it. I don't want to have to bury my daughter. No parent should bury his or her child. Please do what is best and leave him while you still can."

Peyton shook her head and stared at Ben. Harry looked at his daughter and didn't know what he would do with her. He seemed to be fighting a lost cause and he just hoped that it wouldn't end up with the family attending Peyton's funeral. Harry saw Maddy looking in through the door and told Peyton that he was going to talk to her for a few minutes. Once Harry had shut the door, Peyton looked at Ben and wiped the tears that were running down her cheeks away.

"Please Ben wake up. I need you. I'm really sorry for running away, I promise that I'll be a better girlfriend from now on and I'll do everything you say. If you want me to give up magic then I'll do it. I'll become a Muggle and snap my wand and everything. I just want you back, please wake up."

Maddy and Harry looked in and watched as Peyton whispered to Ben. Maddy looked at Harry and sighed.

"If she's saying that she'll give up magic then I'll smash her head into a wall," Maddy said to Harry.

Harry looked at Maddy with a sombre look on his face then said, "You will do no such thing. First off she's your sister and second you're pregnant. You will not harm my grandchild by smashing your sister's head into a wall."

"But she's just giving him what he wants. Technically she shouldn't be here. I don't even want to be here but Matt told me that I had to be here because he's my future brother in law whether I like it or not. Do you know that he wants him to be best man at the wedding? I am not happy about it but both Peyton and I will have to live with it because I'm the bride and I want her to be my chief bridesmaid. Do you think mum will let Trinity and Jamie be in the wedding with him around? I can't have my wedding without my brother and sister being in it."

"What about Sirius?" Harry asked.

"I think he's still a bit too young to understand it but if mum wants him in it too then I'll add him in," Maddy replied.

Harry nodded then looked at Maddy's stomach.

"How are you?"

"If you mean the bump then he or she is still in there even with all this stress going on. He or she is giving me the worst morning sickness though. Was mum's bad?"

"It differs. With you, Peyt and Sirius the morning sickness was really bad but with Trinity and Jamie it was hardly there."

Maddy nodded her head then looked back through the window and saw that Peyton had now laid her head on Ben's stomach and was crying softly. She made her way through the door and sat down next to Peyton.

"Hey," Maddy said quietly.

"Hi."

"Peyton you have to leave at some point. You can't sit here for ages, you have to leave."

Peyton shook her head then looked at Maddy.

"I can stay for however long I want to. No one can make me go home," Peyton replied.

"We know that but you have to go home because there's a very important appointment that you have to be at tomorrow. I've been meaning to ask you for a long time but everything always got in the way."

"What appointment is that then? I'm not going anywhere. Some dumb appointment is not going to make me move from this hospital!"

"Okay so you don't want to be my chief bridesmaid then? Well I'll either have to choose someone else or just pick the dresses out without knowing what will look good on you. It won't be my fault if you turn up at my wedding looking like a mess."

Peyton looked at Maddy with a look of fear on her face then said, "You'd do that? You'd pick a dress then make me wear it?"

"Yes. So my advice would be to leave the hospital and come to the fitting tomorrow."

Peyton nodded then quickly hugged Maddy before looking at Ben and sniffing quietly. The next day Maddy, Peyton, Tasha and Trinity were at in a bridal shop with Ginny. Maddy was trying on her wedding dress with some difficulty because her bump kept getting in the way. When she came out of the changing room, Ginny started to cry and everyone else rolled their eyes.

"How do I look?" Maddy asked.

"Beautiful! Absolutely beautiful! I'm so proud of you Maddy!" Ginny exclaimed in between sobs.

Peyton and Tasha looked at each other and laughed then looked at Maddy. Peyton could clearly see that the dress that Maddy had on wasn't done up and beckoned her over.

"You're not going to wear it like that down the aisle are you?" she asked.

"Of course not!" Maddy replied.

Peyton nodded then whispered to her, "You do realise that you are going to be eight months pregnant when you get married don't you?"

"Yes Peyton. I'm concealing the bump with a charm. I'll look my normal size but I'll be able to feel as though everyone can see the bump," Maddy whispered back.

Peyton nodded and looked at the dress.

"I love it! It's so you!" she told her twin.

"Thanks. Right now it's your turn Peyton! Go and try your bridesmaid dress on! I can't wait to see it."

Peyton nodded and walked into the changing rooms with Tasha and Trinity. Within a few moments all three girls were stood in front of Ginny and Maddy wearing what they would be wearing to the wedding. Peyton looked down at the dress and frowned.

"What's wrong?" Maddy asked worriedly.

"Nothing. I just didn't expect you to have this colour. When we were kids you always said that you were going to have lemon yellow bridesmaid dresses. I do like the colour though and it's a lot better than lemon yellow."

Maddy laughed then said, "I changed my mind. Lemon yellow would clash with your hair!"

Peyton was going to reply but was interrupted by the saleswoman.

"Are you happy with the gowns Miss. Potter?" she asked.

"Yes they're lovely. Thank you."

The saleswoman nodded then said, "There won't be any more fittings now. We've done our best to make sure that they fit so don't put on any weight before the big day!"

Maddy nodded then walked back into the changing rooms with Tasha, Peyton and Trinity to change back into their normal clothes. As they walked back out they could hear Ginny sobbing.

"My baby's all grown up and getting married! I won't have any children left at home soon!"

Peyton and Maddy looked at each other and rolled their eyes then dragged their mother out of the shop.
