《Baby Daddy》37. Again

"Your welcome", Blaise said after we told him about our pregnancy.
"What for?" I asked, wondering why he said that when we didn't even thank him.
"Well, if we had decided to interrupt you that night of your engagement, you may not have been pregnant right now", he said, smiling to himself.
"Blaise, she's four months, and that was one month ago", Draco corrected him.
"Four months?! Bloody hell, you guys move fast", he joked, making Draco roll his eyes.
"So did Pansy actually do that?" Theo asked, slightly changing the subject.
"Yeah, she did. I think she thought it would scare Draco away but she was definitely wrong about that", I said, happy that Draco stayed with me - not that I thought he would run away though.
"Oh, it all makes sense now", Luna said, out of the blue.
"What does?" I questioned, wanting to know what she was referring to or if she was just thinking out loud again.
"Well, on the second the day of school as I was coming to visit you, I saw Pansy coming out of the infirmary looking quite suspicious", she told us.
"I didn't think anything of it though," she continued, "I just assumed she got another failed Botox or something that made her face look funny."
Draco and I couldn't help but laugh at this, despite the situation.
"Wait a second", Cho said, turning all our attention to her. By the look on her face, I could tell that she was trying to figure something out.
"You don't think that she was the one that gave the details to Rita Skeeter about your engagement, do you?" she said.
"Or taken those... photos, after the engagement", Hermione added on, a little awkward and I turned slightly red at the reminder of those photos the whole school saw of me and Draco in our room.
"I mean, it's Pansy. It does sound like something she would do", Draco said, not seeming at all embarrassed at the mention of the pictures.
"Besides, you did do a lot of the planning in the Slytherin Common Room so someone was bound to hear or see it eventually, and that person just happened to be Pansy", Goyle said. It was all adding up.
"Actually, if I think about it, I haven't seen her in a while, do you think she's planning something else?" Theo asked.
"No, she got expelled", Draco said, smiling.
"Thank fuck!" Blaise cheered, "She was really getting on my nerves this year."
"Anyway, I don't think any of us have said this yet but congratulations guys", Hermione said.
"Oh yeah, congratulations", the others said. They were all so distracted by the Pansy stuff that they forgot about the most important and big thing we had told them.
"Did you say you were four months?" Gray questioned, looking down to my almost flat stomach as I nodded.
"But you aren't-" Cho started to say.
"Fat", Blaise interrupted.
"Shut up Zabini", Draco said as he pulled me closer to his side, protectively.
"What? I was just saying", he tried to defend himself.
"Madam Pomfrey said that some people don't show until later on in their pregnancies, so I guess that's why", I said.

"And what did your parents think?" Gray asked, wanting to know how they reacted this time.
"They were a little disappointed at first, but not as much as last time as we're now engaged. However, when we told them it was Pansy, and we weren't just being careless, they were of course incredibly angry at the Parkinson's, not that they've ever been close to them or liked them anyway. And now they are very excited to welcome their new grandson in June", I told them.
"Grandson?" Theo said, "so it's a boy?"
"It is", Draco smiled.
"Yes!" all the boys said in unison, obviously excited that it was a boy.
"I'm not sure I can handle another Draco running around having tantrums, one is more than enough", I joked, making them laugh.
"Hey!" Draco said giving me a playful death stare. "I'm not that bad."
"Your honestly worse than Indie sometimes", I laughed, causing him to roll his eyes.
-----
Just like the engagement, news travels incredibly fast at this school so, by the next day, pretty much the whole school knew about our pregnancy.
We entered the Great Hall with Indie as usual, but this time, as soon as we walked in, everyone stopped talking and turned their heads to face us. I said goodbye to Draco slightly more awkwardly then usual as I could feel everyone's eyes on us.
I walked over to the Ravenclaw table with Indie and, as I did, I heard people whispering my name, but I tried my best to ignore it.
Just as I was about to reach my friends, I heard someone cough and whisper "Slut" as I walked past them.
"Who said that?" Gray said immediately after he heard it, standing up to come beside me. The whole of the Great Hall went silent again, eager to know what was happening.
When no one answered him, he repeated himself, his voice raised, "I said, who said that?"
A seventh year Ravenclaw stood up from the table and replied, "I did, what're you gonna do about it?" He looked quite tall and buff and didn't seem to be scared of Grayson, so I was starting to get a bit nervous.
"Would you like to repeat what you said?" Gray asked, and I could tell by his voice that he was absolutely fuming, but trying to hold it in.
"I called her a slut bec-" he began to say but was interrupted.
"You what?" a voice I easily recognised shouted from behind us.
When I turned around, I saw Draco standing right behind me with Blaise, Theo and Goyle right at his side.
"I-I-" the boy stuttered, obviously nervous of the four boys.
Draco stepped forward and grabbed the boy by the collar, pulling him towards him forcefully so their faces were only inches apart.
"Don't you fucking dare call my fiancé that ever again", he spat, "Or I will not hesitate to kill you with my bare hands."
"I-I'm sorry, I d-didn't mean it", the terrified Ravenclaw said.
"Well then why'd you say it?" Draco snapped.
When he didn't reply, Draco let go of his collar and said, "I thought so", before swinging his arm back and punching the boy right in the face, causing him to go flying to the ground, getting knocked unconscious.

I didn't really know what to do with myself, or Indie. I do not want my daughter to think that violence was okay, but at the same time, I don't want her growing up thinking that it's okay to let boys call you those horrid names and get away with it.
"Mr Malfoy!" Professor McGonagall rushed over to inspect the beaten boy.
"We do not tolerate violence in this school", she said when she saw the state of the bloodied up boy, "That's a months detention!"
He didn't reply to the professor but instead picked up Indie and grabbed my hand and started walking us out of the Great Hall, even though we hadn't eaten yet. I was so shocked by what had happened that I just let him take me, speechless.
"I regret nothing", he smirked as we got out the hall.
It was April 16th of 1999 and I was now just over seven months and two weeks into my pregnancy and all was good.
Thankfully, there have been no more incidents like the one in the Great Hall a few months ago. I'm guessing it's because nobody wants to be in the same position as that Ravenclaw boy, who ended up being in the infirmary for two weeks, getting back to normal. Draco went to the detentions like he was supposed to do, but didn't complain as he always said it was 'worth it'.
Gray, Cho, Luna, Hermione, Indie and I were currently in the Slytherin stands at a quidditch match against Hufflepuff, cheering Draco on. We were about thirty minutes into the match and the score was 80 for the Slytherins and 20 for the Hufflepuffs, and so far there have been no signs of the snitch.
The Hufflepuff team have never been very good at quidditch, they're all way too kind and spend half their time worrying about if they were going to hurt someone by accident, so everyone pretty much knew it was going to be an easy win for the Slytherins, but it was still fun and exciting to watch the match.
"Go Dr-" I started to shout, but stopped immediately when I felt a sharp pain in my abdomen area. "ARGH!" I screamed out in agony as I doubled over and fell to the floors of the stand.
My screams drew the attention of many of the Slytherins around me and they all stopped cheering to see what was happening.
"Mama?" Indie questioned as she looked down at me on the floor, confused.
"Lilah! Are you okay, what's wrong?" Hermione asked.
I had only ever felt this type of pain once before in my life, so I knew exactly what it was.
"The baby", I managed to whisper out in between breaths before screaming out again, and I saw my friends faces fill with worry as they realised what I meant.
"Alright, it's okay. You and the baby will be just fine", Gray reassured me, but I could tell he was also saying it more to himself to help calm him down.
"No," I cried as tears of pain and worry started to run down my cheeks, "it's too early, it's too early."
I still had 6 weeks to go in my pregnancy, and now was way too early.
The commotion in the stands had caught the attention of a few players on the field. Draco stopped what he was doing and looked in the direction that everyone else was looking to see what was going on.
His eyes widened when he caught sight of me on the floor, clutching my stomach and screaming, and his face filled with pure panic. He flew over to me as fast as he could, no longer caring about the game. As soon as he reached me, he immediately knew what was going on.
"We need to take her to Madam Pomfrey right now!" he shouted to my friends when he realised the urgency of the situation and how much danger me and the baby were in.
"Mama?" Indie asked again, and her concerned face absolutely broke my heart.
"Grayson, take Indie, I'll get Lilah to the infirmary!" Draco demanded and Gray agreed without further hesitation as he picked up Indie safely into his arms.
"Take her on your broom, it may be a bit unsteady but you'll get her there faster that way", Luna said.
"Okay, hurry", Draco urged as he angled his broom so that I could easily be lifted onto it.
A group of people lifted me up off the floor and carefully placed me in front of him on the broom, so that he could hold on to me and make sure I don't fall off whilst I cry out in pain.
"Draco..." I whispered as he started flying us back to Hogwarts, as quickly and as carefully as he could.
"It'll be alright my love, just keep on taking deep breaths", he comforted me as he held onto me and steered the broom at the same time.
In no time, we were back at the entrance to Hogwarts and Draco was running up the stairs as he carried me bridal style up to the infirmary. This is just like last time, I thought, but I didn't have the strength to say it.
"Madam Pomfrey!" he shouted as he ran into the infirmary, "Quick!"
"Oh my gosh!" she gasped when she saw the state of me, realising what's happening, "But it's too early!"
"I know, that's why I'm here! You need to help her, please", he pleaded as he placed me down on a hospital bed and wiped the hair out of my face.
She took a quick look at me and inspected me before saying, "We need to take her to St Mungo's this instant."
I started to loose my vision as everything became a big blur, and the voices became murmurs. I could feel myself being move around, but I wasn't aware of any of my surroundings. I wasn't sure how much time had passed before my vision started to go black.
"Lilah, please stay with me, I can't lose you", was the last thing I heard before everything went dark.

Gods of Arkanoth
The hunter has been betrayed, left alone in the streets of a lugubrious district. Only one goal appears in his eyes: to avenge himself. In his quest to avenge himself, he'll encounter an enigmatic scientist who seems to hide his true nature, a savior pretending to be a God, and the terrible truth of those words, bringing him against something he'd never thought he'd have to affront. This is the odyssey of the hunter, in a quest to put a long overdue end to a war between two worlds. // What to expect:The beginning will surely be intriguing, most of what's happeing won't be directly explained, although there will be some hints about their true roles, but do not worry about some subjects never leaving that misty fog that is unanswered questions! The novel is divided in two parts, the first focusing on uncovering the well-hidden secrets the city of Arkanoth hides, be it concerning its making or its inhabitants. As for the second part, it will be an expedition into the unknown, we could, in a way, say the true start of the journey our three heroes will undertake! I won't say anything more about the second part or else I might tell you an important detail without realizing... As for magic, because yes, there is magic! Although you might not see the shadow of a spell in the first chapters, it will appear in later chapters and will be one of the main subjects of volume 2. There are three heroes, yes, but they will not appear directly. While the first two protagonists appear in quite the beginning, the third will take his time, taking some stroll in the Districts of Arkanoth while we focus on the story of the hunter. But that does not lessen his importance in the story a bit, trust me. What about these three heroes, you say? Well, they all have their own issues, from their character to their torments, and as the story progresses they will have to come clean with their past (character development is to be expected) and will find their reason for fighting, braving all odds. I draw my inspiration from mythology, more precisely Aztec mythology. I want to stay true to a certain extent about it and all the relations between the gods and their role, however I will still change some things to my liking, so do not expect for all of the mythology to be respected to the letter. Finally! I have to say English is a foreign langage for me, so I might not choose the best words or straight-up miswrite something, if it bothers your experience, just tell me in the comments and I'll look into it! It is also my first time writing a book, so some parts might seem sloppy, but I hope I will be able to improve throughout this journey so as to give the most enjoyable reading experience to you. // Who might enjoy this story: Firstly, if you like deep lore and stories in which past plays a big role, you will like how everything unravels to show the hidden truths of the world. However if you do not appreciate not instantly understanding what's happening or who - or even what - this person might be, then you might not appreciate the story. There will be disturbing and gore descriptions, so if you're sensitive, don't like reading about someone being beheaded and such, you should probably pass this one. There is strong langage, although I won't abuse it, I won't be lying saying no insults will appear. Finally, the heroes will not always win, they will sometime lose battles, be it important ones or unimportant, and they will, most of the time, not come out unscathed from those. // Time Schedule : once every two sundays at 7:pm Ps : feel free to tell me if something is bad, or feel wrong with the book, it really helps me. I've written till' chapter 4 (in my mother tongue, so I'll still have to translate), however I'll make some minor and major changes, thus it will take some time to post them. Schedule will probably not change after releasing chapter 4, so don't worry, it won't take even longer to post a chapter than it already is. Enjoy the ride :)

Ephemeral Cycle
Mature +18[?]------Hiatus notice, I'll be rewriting this story heavily over the coming weeks. It isn't going where I wanted it to, bare with me for awhile. Ideally, a months time, but time will tell.------Andrew Marks, among over a million, 'players,' is forcibly recruited into a game where the reality and fiction interlace. Where the slightest error will spell death. For yourself, for your new found allies, or the world. 'Choices have consequences,' is a lesson the Corporation wishes to remind people. In this new world where many fall each and every day, a man simply tries to avoid it all, yet the world isn't so kind as to let him off so easily.--------Chapters do tend to be on the longer side, well, in comparison to other fictions I've read on this site. Typically anywhere from 2500-4500 words depending on my mood at the time.In addition chapter releases are largely dependent on my mood so it should have at least two chapter released a week, however, I'll be busy for the next bit so it will be subject to change. --------Anyways, please bare in mind this is the first creative writing piece I have created with the exception of a novel I started writing just prior to this one. I'd appreciate any help or guidance you may give me to better my writing. Be it characters, background or setting, I'm quite sure there are a few loopholes.This is intended for a mature audience, viewers discretion is advised. I digress, enjoy, rate, comment, and let me know how it's treating you so far! I'll take any help I can get!
