Terence never let go of Tinkerbell's hand, he knew she was scared, but she glad he understood and stayed with her. He sometimes had to drag her along the way to The Winter Woods, she was too terrified. What would Perri think, she wouldn't believe her. God, what are these feelings, it this what a human feels when they tell someone something that is impossible.
Terence sent a messenger to tell Perri that they were coming, so she would meet them at the border. They made their way out of the Autumn woods, and there she was. Her sister, bathed in white snow, noticing that they were in view. She waved to them, and Tink's heart dropped. Terence notice this and moved in front of her,
"Tink, it's going to be alright, she is your sister" he comforted, but she just sunk down to her knees, curling up in a ball.
"Tink, are you alright?" they heard Perri call, Tink's hands turned to fists, it was too painful; but she felt Terence's warm hand cover hers.
"Tinkerbell, listen to me. I know you are still in shock, and believe you me, so am I, but I decided to stay with you. I am one of the people being effected in this matter, I am the father after all, and Perri is also someone who is going to be effected, and she will stay by her sisters side no matter what. You two are so close" he said to her. Tink rose her head from her curled position and looked up at him, and nodded. Perri was still trying to get their attention. She stood up onto her feet and tightly held Terence's hand. Perri face was filled with concern,
"are you alright Tink, your face is almost as pale as mine" she said. Tink smiled and nodded,
"I'm okay, Perri, don't worry. Me and Terence need to talk to you" she said. Perri's facial expression became serious, she nodded and froze their wings.
"We can talk at my house" she said, Tink nodded,
"that would be best."
They flew to Perri's house without exchanging a word. She opened the door and let them in, closing the door behind her.
"So what is this about?" she asked, Tink looked down at her feet, she couldn't speak,
"I think it's best if you sit down Periwinkle" Terence said, Perri frowned,
"has someone died or something?" she asked her sister, but she still couldn't find the words to tell her. She sighed, "Terence, do you mind if you allow me to talk to my sister alone?" she spoke, Terence squeezed Tink's hand before letting it go and exiting the house. She felt lost. Perri's expression was beyond serious, "sit down Tink" she ordered. She did as she said, but didn't look at her, "I know something has happened, and I know in times like this you prefer to keep it a secret" Tink shook my head,
"I'm scared, Perri" she sobbed, her sister rushed in front of her,
"why are you scared? What is going on? Are you dying?" she asked, Tinkerbell held back a slight laugh at her last question. "Oh please, Tink. I won't judge you, I'm your sister" her hands were on Tink's shoulders. She looked up at her and bit her lip, this was already hard the first time, but she guessed this wasn't as scaring.
"I'm pregnant, Perri" she whispered, Perri frowned,
"your joking, right?" she said, she stayed silent, "Tink, that is impossible, fairies don't get pregnant, they're born from a child's-"
"-child's first laugh, I know" she interrupted, "but it's the truth" now her facial expression was too serious.
"W-who told you?" she asked, sitting down next to her,
"Queen Clarion. She told me that I will give birth to a Full Fairy, a fairy that is born with golden wings, just like the Queen herself" Tink told.
"So, Queen Clarion is a Full Fairy then?" she questioned, Tink nodded.
"Please Perri, can you still accept me for what I am?" she asked, but there was silence,
"are you an idiot, Tink?" spoke Perri from the silence, "you are my sister, I would never abandon you. I will always be here for you, but it's going to take some time to get my head around this matter" she turned her head toward the door, "I'm guessing Terence is the father" she nodded, even though Perri wasn't looking at her, but she knew her answer. She turned back to her and smiled, "I believe you, Tink, and I wish you happiness. However, I'm sure Queen Clarion has warned you" she nodded again,
"yes, she told me that is shouldn't trust people who never talk to me" she said, Perri nodded,
"that would be a good idea".
Suddenly there was a crack outside, both Tink and Perri jumped out of their skins and ran to the door, to find Terence unconscious on the porch,
"Terence!" Tink cried, getting on her knees and putting his head on her lap. She looked up at Perri, who was suspiciously looking round,
"Tink, I think someone was listening into our conversation" she said, Tinkerbell gasped and went into a state of shock. Perri knelt down next to her and looked at Terence, "he will fine, just a blow to the head" she then said. Tink's fringe hid her eyes and she was close to crying.
"Queen Clarion said that people would try to come after me and my child. I'm scared Perri, this is all my fault" Perri frowned,
"why is that?" she asked,
"if only I never danced with Terence at the Ceremony, if only I didn't make love with him, if only I didn't love his so much" tears were rolling down her cheeks, "and now he is getting hurt because of what is happening to me, I'm scared that you will be next" she sobbed. Perri put her arm around her sister,
"Tink, listen to me, this isn't your fault. This is a gift that you and Terence are about to share. Plus, I told you he will be fine" she said, Tink faced her,
"but what is he wasn't? What if there will be a next time where I find him more hurt than he is now? Someone is trying to learn the truth, and they have found it. I'm scared they are going to come after you and Terence" she said. Perri smiled,
"you know, a lot of people ask the 'what if's', but they never look closely into the present. There will always be a past that you wish to change, Tink; but not this one. You shouldn't feel scared because of what other people think, you should feel more than joyous that someone up there allowed you to have Terence and this love that you share."
Tinkerbell stared at her sister, taking in what she had just said. She looked back down at Terence and stroked his hair,
"I will try, I'm sure Terence will always be there for me as well as my other friends" she said. Perri nodded,
"good, but I'm sure even Queen Clarion as warned you, don't go round telling the whole of Pixie Hollow. Just tell the friends that you can trust with your life" she advised, Tink nodded and hugged her,
"thank you" she said and Perri returned her hug,
"anytime" she said, before pulling away, "and come visit, I want to know how my niece/nephew is doing, I never imagined I would be an aunt, it's so exciting" Tink half laughed and rubbed her head,
"yeah, well I never imagined I would be a mother, it's so scary". Perri laughed,
"just have faith" she nodded,
"and trust" she added,
"with a pitch of pixie dust" Perri said. They burst out laughing before Tink felt Terence move,
"Terence, are you alright?" she asked, he opened his eyes and looked up at his lover,
"hey Tink, what happened?" he asked, he hadn't even answered her question,
"you were knocked out" she said. Terence shot up and held his head,
"ow, that hurts" he whined, Perri smiled,
"don't worry, you're not going to die, just go home and lie down, otherwise you might pass out" she advised, he nodded and got up on to his feet.
"Well, we better get going" Tinkerbell said, Perri nodded,
"yeah, it's getting dark and that fairy might still be out there, it's best to go home" she said. Both Tink and Terence nodded because waving goodbye and flying away.
They flew to the border before Tinkerbell stopped, Terence frowned behind her,
"Tink?" he questioned,
"are you sure you're okay, Terence...with this?" she asked. There was a slight silence and then a small laugh, but then silence again,
"you know, Tink, I could never understand how you feel at this moment; nor could anyone else in Pixie Hollow. But I came damn well try to be there and protect you, you know that" he said. she turned round to him, her face completely serious,
"so you are prepared to protect me with your life then?" she asked, there was a short pause before Terence nodded,
"yes" was his answer. she looked down,
"...no" was all she could say, Terence frowned,
"why?" he asked. Tink looked up at him,
"because I will not make you or let you throw away anything because of me".
There was nothing but silence between them. Tinkerbell's face was completely serious, while Terence's was in shock.
"Why is that coming up now?" he asked,
"because I want you to be fully aware of what is going to happy in the next 9 months and the rest of our lives. Today made me realise something: that the people I love could be in danger. I want you to be aware of this and actually think this through properly" she said. Terence walked up to her and reached out to grab her hands,
"but I have thought this through" he said, Tink stepped away,
"but I want you to be sure. Go home, Terence. Get some sleep and come talk to me tomorrow about the answer you have full thought over" she said before taking off into the world of Autumn and flying home, hearing Terence call her name.
Tinkerbell reached Tinkers Nook and went straight home. She slowly opened her door before closing it behind her, and then it all fell apart. She could feel uncontrollable tears rolling down her face, she slide down the door and hugged her knees.
Tink had to say all those things, if Terence didn't want to be apart of this, then he doesn't have to be. But if he is, then he's going to be in with it for a very long time, and Tink feels like he's going to have doubts and break her heart.
Why does her heart feel so broken now?
Hi guys, I'm back with this story...well technically I never actually left it, it just that I have exams and I'm mind has gone to mush. Anyway, I wish to thank everyone who reviewed, it was a big help and I can't believe so many people like this story. When I thought of this story for the first time, I thought, "people won't like it because fairies aren't meant to get pregnant"...well I was wrong. I promise that during the end of June/beginning of July I shall update (beware, I may not keep this promise...sorry) I promise I will try (this promise I will make)
Well until next time
