Dominique had left Molly's flat and came back to her flat as Rose went to meet her boyfriend Scorpius for lunch. She was dressed in ¾ leggings and her first Harpies training shirt which was now slightly and was pacing the length of the small living room of the flat she shared with Scott.
She was nervous about telling him he was going to be a father, how would he react? Would he faint? She knew Teddy had fainted when Vic told him she was pregnant with their now two-year old son Will. She was also nervous about that, how would she tell her family? Would her parents or Scott's Parents disown them? Vic was already married when she fell pregnant, so Teddy was not hunted down by Bill. At least she didn't have to worry about that for a few weeks, the girls had decided that Molly would tell the family about Jared first tomorrow at lunch and a few weeks later Dom would break the news about her pregnancy.
Hearing the door open, Dom turned on the spot and watched her boyfriend walk in, carrying two bags; it was obvious he had picked up lunch on his way back from training.
"Hey love" he greeted her with a kiss before proceeding to the kitchen and setting down their lunch on the counter.
"Hey, how was training?" She asked.
"It was tiresome, McNally really worked us today, I'm glad to be home with you now" he replied coming back into the lounge room and wrapping his muscular arms around her waist and drawing her closer to him.
"Well I'm glad you're home too, did you get a haircut on your way home?" she asked noticing his black hair was no longer sitting over his ears.
"Yeah I stopped by Nick's" replied Scott
"Well I like it" replied Dom moving her arms higher so they sat on his shoulders.
"Is everything okay Dom?" Her boyfriend asked in concern
"Scott, I think should sit down" she replied moving out of his grip and went to sit down on their sofa
"What's wrong love?" he asked worriedly as he sat down next to her
"Well…you see in a few weeks or months I might have to quit the Harpies or take leave from them, I'm not entirely too sure, I'll have to speak to Aunt Ginny about it"
"Why?" he asked slowly
"Well….you see…umm" she mumbled as she looked into her boyfriend's light green eyes
"It's not as if you're pregnant" he said
Dom just nodded
"No way! Really?" he asked in shock
"Yes love, I'm pregnant" Dom replied
"But you're on the potion, right?"
"I am Scott, but we've both read the label it's only 95% effective"
"And obviously we fall into that other five percent" added Scott running he hand through his hair
"Yeah, I'm sorry, I know we're both still young love."
"Dom listen to me" Scott started taking her hands in his "you have nothing to be sorry for, obviously I played a part in this too, I love you more than you can imagine and I love this baby too" he finished placing his hand lightly over Dom's stomach.
"So, you're not mad or upset?" Dom asked uneasily
"Not in the least bit" Scott replied smiling
"Well I've relieved" she smiled back
"Hey do think if it's a boy, we can name him Scott Junior?"
"We are not naming about baby Scott Junior" Dom replied with a giggle
"Why?" Scott asked pouting
"Because I want my child to have their own identity" she replied kissing his lips
"Fine, oh I better feed you and the baby now" Scott said as he hurried to their lunch
Dom shook her head smiling at her boyfriend as she followed him, relieved it had worked out well.
The following morning Molly was waiting for her younger sister to come over after getting back from her trip.
"Hey Lucy" Molly greeted her younger sister as she stepped out her floo
"Hey Sis, how's things?" the younger witch asked
"Fine thanks, how was Italy?"
Lucy and Eli had just come back from visiting his relatives in Rome and Milan. They were dating off and on, for the last month or so they had been on, and both were certain they were not breaking up again.
"Italy was wonderful; I hope you don't mind Eli will be here soon"
"No, its fine, it just makes it easier"
"Makes what easier exactly?" Lucy asked her older sister raising an eyebrow
"I'll tell you both when he gets here, Tea?"
Lucy nodded waiting for Eli to come through, as Molly went into the kitchen to make tea for them.
"Hi Luce" said Eli as stepped out of Molly's fireplace and sat down next to his girlfriend.
"Hey Love" she responding kissing his cheek
"So any reason why Molly insisted we get here as we came back"
"No, she was waiting for you to get here before saying anything" came Lucy's reply
Molly walked in to the lounge room and set down tray with cups full of tea and plate of her chocolate cake.
"Oh good, chocolate cake" exclaimed Eli quickly grabbing piece
"Eli, you could at least greet my sister before stuffing your face" Lucy told him
Eli swallowed before replying "Sorry Love, Hey Molly, nice cake"
Lucy shook her head "Sorry, it's unfortunate for him that I didn't inherit the baking talent"
"It's fine Luce, really I'm glad he enjoys my cake" replied Molly as she sipped her tea
"So what did you want to tell us" Lucy asked her older sister
"Now that you are both here, let me show you" Molly replied setting down her teacup, she whispered the charm and her engagement ring appeared on her left hand. She held her hand for the other two to see.
"MY GOD THAT'S AN ENGAGEMENT RING" Shrieked Lucy as she got up to hug her sister startling Eli causing him to spill his tea a little.
"It is an engagement ring Lucy" stated Molly
"You're engaged? Since when" Lucy asked as he pulled out her hug with her sister
"Two nights ago"
"What's his name? How long have been together?"
"His name is Jared, and we've been together for nearly a year, I met him I dropped you off at King's Cross last year"
"Why didn't you tell anyone you were dating someone?" asked Eli which surprised Molly
"Well Jared is a Muggle you see" replied Molly biting her lip
"A Muggle really?"asked Lucy
Molly nodded "Yeah his younger Brother is in Hugo's and Lily's year, Trent Dews"
"I know him, Hugo sometimes studies with him" said Lucy
"So when do we get to meet him?" Lucy added
"Well, Dom and Rose met him yesterday by accident of course" Molly replied
"What do you mean by accident?" asked Lucy
"Well I forgot to close my floo connection and they came over, I close the connection when he stays over" was Molly's reply
"He stays over?" asked Lucy
"Where is he now?" asked Eli
"So you to have…?" Asked Lucy wiggling her eyebrows
"Luce, I didn't need to know that!" cried Eli
"Oh hush Eli, I've heard you tell Scorpius about us a few times" his girlfriend replied
"Lucy!" cried Molly
"So?" pried Lucy
"Yes Lucy he does stay over and yes we have slept together and Eli he's a Fireman, he's at work now"
"Oh he must be good looking then" commented Lucy winking at her sister
"That's just a generalisation" said Eli
"No, it's true Eli, Jared is very good looking" Molly told the wizard
"Back up a step, why was Rose and Dom over yesterday?"
"They needed help with a pregnancy test" replied Molly as a matter of factly
"Oh! Which one is pregnant?" asked Lucy
"Dom is pregnant" replied Molly
"See what happens when go on holiday Love, your family goes off and gets engaged or pregnant" Eli told Lucy
"It's only two family members love"
"Still, imagine what will happen if we go away again, Rose might get pregnant" Eli replied
Lucy slapped him "She will not!"
"Ouch Woman!" replied Eli rubbing his arm
