Tom Riddle Era: Faline Potter

Epilogue 2: Stayed

Teresa's POV

"Please don't leave me" I hear someone say. I groan as I eye my eyes. "Teresa, you're awake" Tom says relieved.

"Tom, what happened?" I ask him confused.

"You fainted, I brought you to Madame Pomfrey" he states.

"Honestly dear, someone in your condition shouldn't be stressing" Pomfrey mutters.

"What? You told her?" I ask Tom.

"He didn't have to" she states. "I've been around a while dear and was a midwife before I was a healer. You fainted due to stress, was it exams?" she asks me.

"A little, but that's not the whole reason" I tell her.

"Well whatever it was, you need to not let it stress you out. It's not good for you or the baby" she tells me.

"I know, I'm sorry" I tell her. "I saw a healer this morning in Hogsmeade about the baby" I add. "Gave her a false name" I state.

"I shall get your medical details from her" she states. "You may leave, but I suggest you take it easy. Avoid stress, I expect you to ensure she does Mr Riddle" she adds.

"Does anyone else know about the baby?" I ask her.

"Your head of house and Dumbledore. I had to inform them both that a student had collapsed" she states. "You need to go to your head's of house office" she adds. "You are free to go, be back on four weeks for a check up" she instructs. Before letting us leave.

Tom and I walk to McGonagall's office. When we arrive he knocks and we're told to come in. We do so and sit down. "I trust you both know why you are here" McGonagall says.

"Yes Professors" Tom says.

"It's because of our baby" I add holding my stomach protectively.

"Fear not Miss Potter, no harm shall come to your child" Dumbledore assures me. "Now you have exams coming up, which will be stressful. But you've done them before. So I want you to do as little study as possible. To avoid stress" he tells me.

"Also none of the other students can know about the baby. We have not had a pregnant student at Hogwarts before. It is unclear how others would react" McGonagall states.

"But what about Euphemia and Fleamont Potter?" Tom asks them.

"You may tell them" Dumbledore tells us.

"So I won't be kicked out?" I ask relieved.

"Merlin no" Dumbledore chuckles. "But you must be discrete" he tells us.

"We will be" Tom assures him.

"Let us know if you have any problems or need anything" Dumbledore tells us. We agree and leave. Returning to our dorm room. Where Tom hugs me.

"I thought you were leaving me" he mumbles.

"Never" I tell him as I hug him tightly. "Lets talk baby names" I suggests. He agrees and we sit down on the couch. Me on his lap and we start to discuss baby names and our future.

(Time skip)

I'm in labor. I found out I'm having twins. Tom was so excited, he fainted at the news. It was hilarious. We both completed our exams and graduated with top marks. Tom is currently working in the law department of the ministry. I'm studying still healing. But will be taking a break while I raise the twins and get into a routine.

Fleamont and Euphemia were thrilled about being grandparents. And volunteered to babysit anytime we needed them to. I told them the truth about being their grand daughter from the future. And now use my true name. It was weird in the beginning for them, but they got used to it. But we have a new cover story, which is the one I told Tom back when we first meet. That I'm their niece, that they adopted.
