Chapter 24

Charlie opened the door to the holding pen, and inside was a beautiful snow-white Unicorn, Jessica's eyes lit up, she couldn't believe she was actually seeing a Unicorn. She glanced around there wasn't anyone else in here, just her, Charlie and the Unicorn. Daisy the Unicorn

"Can I have a kiss now?" Charlie asked 

"You couldn't just tell me Daisy was a Unicorn?" Jessica asked

"And miss seeing you all cute and jealous, not likely," Charlie said, Jessica smiled shaking her head at him,

"She's beautiful, I heard some weird names for these animals, Daisy is the only person sounding name I've heard" Jessica stated

"Ginny named her," Charlie said, "she said she was white like a daisy,"

"So do I get a kiss, or are you still sulking," Charlie questioned, Jessica smiled at him, wrapping her arms around his neck pulling her down to her pressing her lips against his, Charlie held her close to him.

"I've missed you so much," Charlie mumbled against her neck, Jessica giggled as his lips brushed her neck, making him smile.

Three weeks had past and Jessica still hadn't mentioned anything about her pregnancy scare, she didn't want to lie to him, but the opportunity never came around. Or when it did she would chicken out of it. Jessica knew how Charlie felt about having children, he didn't plan on having any children in the future. As he put it, he has six siblings who could give his parents grandchildren.

Jessica just had to tell him, even if he had a bad reaction to it, at least she told him. Jessica sat in the living room waiting for Charlie to come back, from taking the Abraxan's out. Jessica went over what she was going to say in her head, ten times. Jessica was nervous as hell about telling him but trust that Charlie was an understanding person.

"Hey kitten," he leaned down placing a soft kiss on her lips.

"Kitten?"

"Yeah, you're a scaredy-cat," Charlie said, kissing her neck

"Charlie, I need to talk to you-

"Nope, you're not going home," Charlie said, wrapping his arms around her waist, holding her tightly.

"I wasn't going to mention leaving," Jessica said, Charlie smiled her he leaned in to kiss her "but I do have something to tell you," she said,

"You looked frightened, what's wrong?" Charlie asked

"Nothing's wrong, I just, okay what I'm going to tell you I don't want you to freak out or anything," Jessica said

"You're freaking me out now," Charlie said, "just tell me" Jessica took a deep breath.

"You remember when I was sick, I thought it was just a stomach bug, but I was still sick when I was at home, so I went to the hospital, I thought I might have been pregnant," Jessica told him,

"That's all," Charlie said "you had me thinking you were dying,"

"You're not mad," Jessica questioned

"Why would I be mad?" he chuckled

"If I was pregnant, it would change your life so much, I know you don't want a family-

"I never said, I didn't want a family, I said I wouldn't plan one-

"Same thing,"

"No it isn't," Charlie said "if you were pregnant then yes things would change, like for one we couldn't live here, this place can be dangerous, it's not a place to raise kids,"

"I wouldn't be able to do fieldwork like I want too," he continued

"So, if this place was child safe" Jessica assumed "you could always treat your fieldwork like a camping trip"

"I'd have as many kids as my parents if that was the case," Charlie told her,

Jessica laughed nervously, she had no idea how Molly Weasley did it, she made being a mother seem so easy. Jessica could never imagine having seven children, but she felt relieved that Charlie wasn't completely opposed to having a family. She loved him and wanted to have a future with him.

"Jessica a letter has come for you," Mrs Winters said, Jessica got up from the sofa, wondering who had sent her a letter, she only received a letter from her father a few days earlier. She opened the envelope,

Dear Jessica,

How are you dear? Hope you're keeping well, I wanted to ask you a favour. It'll be Charlie's birthday next month, and after seeing how much you have influenced him. Myself and Arthur were hoping you could convince him to come home for his birthday, 12 December. It would mean the world to us,

Much love Molly.

Jessica bit her lip, 'Would Charlie listen to her and return home for his birthday?' Jessica also had to find the perfect present for him. That it hit her the perfect present was something Charlie always wanted to do. Though Jessica would have to do a bit of research first. Who better to ask then Charlie himself

"Hey, who was the letter from?" Charlie asked

"Your mum, she's wanted to say how much she enjoyed meeting me," Jessica said,

"Yeah my family loved you," Charlie said,

"I loved them too they really made me feel welcome, I'd love to see them again," Jessica said,

"Maybe you will, I was thinking of going home for Christmas but I haven't decided yet," Charlie said

"Why don't we go together," Jessica suggested, Charlie smiled at her kissing her cheek.

"On another note, I wanted to ask you about Dragons," she said, Charlie's eyes widened, he nodded waiting for her to continue.

"I know they're your favourite, so is there one that you haven't worked with yet, that you'd love to work with?" Jessica asked, Charlie thought for a moment, thinking about all the dragon which he had worked with.

"There's only one I can think of right now," Charlie said, "the Antipodean Opaleye, they're the least aggressive of them, but they're very elusive, it would be difficult to find one," he explained.

"Why'd you ask?"

"I feel like I've got better around animals and wondered if you teach me about Dragons," Jessica said,

Charlie sat up quickly hurrying to his room, he grabbed his journals which had everything he had ever recorded about each individual Dragon at the reserve. Charlie sat next to Jessica he put his arm around her shoulder, opening his book and began to read through some of his work. Jessica couldn't help but smile at him, he jumped at the chance to share his knowledge of Dragon's with her.

Which made Jessica even more excited for his birthday now.
