Victoire- Not a Happy
"I swear to the lord on high, Ted that if you click your tongue one more time I will throw this remote right at your face. Understand?"
.
Let's just say that I wasn't coping with the range of emotions that came with pregnancy very well. It doesn't matter how many books you read or classes you attend, you're never really prepared for the tsunami of feelings that come crashing down on top of you. I would love to put it down to the fact that I am a witch and so is my baby, but it is probably just me and my overly emotional tendencies.
I had recently been taking out my new found anger on Teddy which he was less than impressed about but with his clicking and incessant humming he can't really blame me. It was only recently that we had finally, after almost three years of being together, moved in together and starting to spend that much time with someone all of a sudden you do notice some of their more annoying habits. Pregnancy aside, no one would be able to deal with the fact that he leaves the toilet seat up and likes to play crappy music immensely loud at six in the morning.
I think in all honesty I can say I wasn't quite ready for pregnancy but it had always seemed so much easier on paper. After having finally convincing Teddy that it was a great idea to have a baby I realised just exactly what it would mean. It wasn't some easy thing like in the movies where the heroine is pregnant for little over two weeks while also remaining skinny, where appropriate, and still being able to do everything she was able to do before like beating up the bad guys.
I am never going to be like that, not in a million years. I can't even make a sandwich or go to the toilet without Teddy's help. And there is only so much he can see before he will never look at me properly again.
Roxanne has also taken to giving me lessons in the art of pregnancy. She has been giving me all types of tips and do's and don'ts, one of the main ones being ignore all the books (making my ever increasing pile almost useless). She also lent me her old clothes and blankets to try and make me feel more comfortable, not that it is doing much good, carrying another person inside you can be quite exhausting.
The other day she took Danielle around to help me get used to having a baby around all the time. Only after nearly dropping her twice and her crying whenever I went anywhere near her, Roxanne finally took her home. I am not expecting to see either of them any time soon.

Teddy looked over at me and stuck out his tongue in protest but he stopped clicking so I didn't say anything in response. I picked up the remote and continued flicking through the channels, only hovering over them for ten seconds or so. Whenever I found a particularly interesting one Teddy would lean forward in his chair only to flump back after I skipped over it.
"Vic, are you actually intending on watching anything or do you just enjoy watching me get my hopes up just to have them crushed?" Teddy asked, looking at me intently.
"Of course I want to watch something there is just nothing on as usual! Also I do love your pain," I added smirking ad I continued my search. I finally settled on some awful movie from like ten years ago with some actor in it that my mum loves.
After about half an hour I heard a loud sigh coming from Teddy's direction. In a normal situation I think I would have been able to deal with it but this was the one hundredth sigh in the last thirty seconds.
"Oh my god, Teddy stop effing sighing! If watching this is such a chore for you then here," I threw the remote at his, hard, "have the bloody remote and change the channel!"
I looked over towards him, my face still red with rage, but I stopped my glare once I had seen what my little outburst had done to him. Teddy was clutching his face tightly, trying to hold in the crimson liquid that was currently seeping through his fingers.
"Ted! Oh my god, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to throw it that hard," I got up and rushed towards him, trying as best as I could to help but I wasn't really doing much good. "I am so sorry! Are you okay?"
"I think you broke my nose."
A/N: I just wanted to add that if any of you have read my first fanfiction 'I Put a Spell on You', which is about Teddy and Victoire, this is kind of a carry on from that. I have a very set way in how each of the characters stories go and this fit in quite well with my approach for Teddy and Victoire's relationship. Might be a bit of a spoiler for people who didn't think that Teddy and Victoire would end up together at the end of the story, actually they don't really... sorry rambling a little bit. Not my original intention. Again sorry for the short chapter, I am not expecting any of them to be too long.
