The Wizards & The Time Jump

Part 7

After a while of walking, Sarah came across Felix, kneeling on the floor beside a body.

Sarah froze. She hoped it wasn't her son lying down on the road. She didn't know whether to go back for Grindelwald or if to handle this all by herself. Felix turned when he heard footsteps. Felix, Grindelwald, Oris and Mildred all knew about baby Richard, Sarah's old child who had to be killed which then meant Sarah had to be Obliterated to forget it. Felix didn't want Sarah to go through another death again but he couldn't exactly hide the body now she had already seen it.

He stood up and picked up little Gellert in his arms and showed the boy to Sarah. Sarah looked scared, shocked and a little confused.

"No...no...no not Gellert. Not my beautiful Gellert!"

"I'm sorry Miss." Said Felix quietly, bowing his head.

"Give him to me and go and get Grindelwald. Quickly!"

Felix quickly ran back to the house to retrieve Grindelwald.

"Mr Grindelwald." He said running in. By this time Grindelwald had got out of bed and got dressed.

"What is it?"

"It's the boy, his not moving. Sarah is with him now but..."

Grindelwald ran out of the door and down the path. He quickly saw Sarah stood holding the child.

"No..." He said as he approached.

"His gone..." Sarah cried. "My baby...is gone."

Grindelwald touched his son's blonde hair. It was sad that the only time Grindelwald had touched his son was after he died.

"We should take him home." Ordered Grindelwald. "Here let me take him..."

"No...I'll carry him."

Sarah carried him home and laid him in his bed. Sarah cat on the floor beside the bed and stared at him silently.

Grindelwald stood in the door way and Felix sat in the living room.

Every so often Sarah would put her fingers through her sons hair and touch his skin.

Grindelwald didn't know what to do for the best. He didn't know if he should offer his condolences or if to cry too. This was also his son after all, not like he was a great dad but he was still a dad nevertheless.

"What will we tell Annie?"

"Who? Oh your friend from work...I'm not sure." Grindelwald kept thinking about Richard. He felt like he had to come clean about it even if Sarah couldn't remember him.

Grindelwald went outside to talk to Felix about it before telling Sarah.

"Felix, I'm going to tell Sarah about baby Richard."

"Why?"

"Cause she's already grieving, she can't exactly feel anymore grief than now."

"If you're sure, Sir."

Grindelwald made Sarah a hot chocolate and brought it into Gellert's bedroom.

"Here, this might make you feel slightly better."

"Thanks." More tears fell from her eyes.

Grindelwald shut the bedroom door to give the 3 of them more privacy.

"Look Sarah...I have something to say..."

"I can't believe this happened, why did I go to bed with you when I could have been looking after him." Sarah interrupted him.
