I awoke to the smell of bacon.

Hopping out of bed, I pulled on my robe and slippers, and hurried downstairs.

Teddy was in the kitchen, making pancakes and frying bacon. I noticed that his hair was a mousy brown. I wondered if it was because he'd been worrying about me.

He and Andromeda had stayed over last night, since it was so late when everyone was done talking.

"Hey," he said, looking up and grinning. "You hungry?"

I nodded and sat down at the kitchen table.

Teddy loaded up my plate with bacon and pancakes, which I drowned in syrup.

I took a huge bite. "Mmmm," I moaned. "This is freaking delicious, Teddy."

"Thanks," he said, sitting down next to me and opening the Daily Prophet.

We sat in silence for a few minutes, me eating and him reading, before he finally broke the silence.

"When are you going to tell your parents that you're pregnant?"

"Shh," I hissed. "What if they hear you?"

He rolled his eyes. "They're not here, Vic. They went somewhere with my Grandma."

"Well, what about Dom and Louis?"

"Dom is out somewhere with that boy she has a crush on and Louis went down to the beach with some friends."

"Dom should stay away from boys. All they do is pretend to love you, before they go and rip your heart out of your chest."

"Don't let what Colin did to you turn you against all boys, Vic. Not all of us are bad."

"I know, Teddy. You're wonderful."

He grinned. "Aw shucks. You're making me blush."

I giggled.

"But seriously, Vic," he said, his expression serious again. "You need to tell them soon. You're going back to school in two weeks. You should tell them before then."

I sighed. "I know."

"How far along are you anyway?"

"Four or five weeks."

"So morning sickness should be coming along pretty soon," he said. "That will make suspicious, don't you think?"

"Not if I just tell them I'm sick, then I'll leave for school and they'll be none the wiser."

"Except you're going to tell them before you leave for school, remember?"

"Yeah, sure," I said.

"Victoire…"

"Stop nagging me, Teddy," I snapped. "I'll tell them eventually, okay? Just lay off, will you?"

He put his hands in the air. "Alright, I'm sorry. Don't kill me."

I sighed, burying my face in her hands. "I'm sorry," I mumbled. "I'm being a bitch."

"It's fine," said Teddy. "Pregnant people have the right to be a bitch."

I heard a loud gasp from somewhere behind her.

I froze for a moment before turning slowly around.

My sister Dominique was standing in the doorway, mouth open wide.

"You're pregnant?" the fourteen year old girl exclaimed.

I stood up hastily and hurried over to her sister.

"You have to swear you won't tell anyone, Dom!" I pleaded. "Not even Mum or Dad."

Dom nodded, her blue eyes wide.

"What are you going to do?" she whispered.

I shrugged. "I don't know," I murmured.

"Does Colin know?"

I felt my heart sink at the mention of his name. "He knows."

"And?"

"Colin is an arsehole, Dom."

"Oh," she said. "I see."

She looked over my shoulder at Teddy, who was still sitting at the kitchen table.

"Why did you tell him," she asked, "before you told anyone in your family?"

Her face looked hurt, as she added, "Don't you trust us? Don't you trust me?"

"Of course I trust you, Dom. I'm just scared, you know. And I knew Teddy wouldn't judge me or tell anyone."

"I'm not gonna judge you or tell anyone."

"Thanks," I said, wrapping my arms around her.

"You haven't hugged me in a long time," she mumbled.

"No, I suppose I haven't."

I pulled away after a minute or so. "So where's that little boyfriend of yours?"

"He's not my boyfriend," she said, blushing. "We're just friends."

I laughed. "If you say so."

She blushed even more.

"I'm gonna go now," she said, before turning and running off.

"Ah, young love," said Teddy from his seat. "So sweet."

I returned to my seat.

"Yes," I said darkly. "It does always start out sweet. But then before you know it, he's choosing his freaking band over you and his own child."

Teddy sighed. "I'm sorry I brought it up."

"It's okay," I murmured. "But if it's alright with you, I'd like to be alone for a while."

He stood up. "Okay, I'll see you later, Vic," he said.

He leaned down to kiss me on the cheek. Except I wasn't expecting it and I turned my head at the last minute, causing the kiss to land right next to my mouth.

We both jerked back quickly. I could feel my face turning red.

"Oops," mumbled Teddy, looking embarrassed. "Er, I'll just be going now. Bye."

He ran out the back door and I watched as he turned quickly on his heel and Disapparated.

I reached up and touched the place where he had kissed me. For a fleeting second, I wished he'd kiss me again. On the mouth.

I let out a deep breath, shaking my head. Pregnancy was making me crazy. Of course I didn't want Teddy to kiss me. We were friends and that was it.

And yet, he was so handsome, and nice, and smart, and funny. And he cared about me.

If it was his baby I was having, I knew that'd he'd stick around and be a father. Heck, he'd probably marry me.

I shook my head again. Not only was I wishing he'd kiss me, I was wishing he'd knock me up and marry me.

Where was the nearest insane asylum?
