Helena P.O.V.
I arrive back at my house. I call my friend and demand him to meet me at the coffee shop. A few minutes later I am sitting in the coffee shop and my friend is sitting across from me looking smug, like he did the last time we talked. I am seething with rage I can hardly think straight. As I sit there trying not to unleash bellatrix lestrange, my phone rings I look at it quickly and see it's Laura. I pick it up immediately "Hello." I answer  "Mum it's me. " Laura says and I can tell from the sound of her voice she has been crying. "Laura what's wrong?" I ask panicked. I can hear her quietly crying as Tom tries to comfort her. "It'll be okay we'll figure it out. " I hear him say. "Laura what's wrong?" I ask scared. " Helena, Laura got some unsettling news from the doctor. " Tom says. "What's wrong?" I ask. " Laura's pregnant there are two babies but they're not twins one is mine the other baby is Tim's. The doctor said the only options are keeping them or adoption. Laura wants to talk to you when you get back. " I can hear Laura quietly crying in the background. "I'll call you when I'm on my way." I say to Tom as I hang up. I sit there staring at Tim trying not to want to kill him. I can feel my anger rising as I say to him "Can we talk outside? " "Sure." he answers nonchalantly . I storm as fast as I can on my crutches with Tim sauntering behind me. Once we get outside I slap him square across the face. " I told you to stay the fucking hell away from Laura and look what you did to her not once but twice you fucking beastly bastard. What the fuck is wrong with you." Tim at this point is staring at me stunned from my actions as well as my words. I can see my hand print on his face from where I slapped him and I'm glad. I want him to be able to feel the pain of his actions. I hope you fucking rot you piece of shit. "  I'm so angry I hobble back to my car and slam the door. I throw my crutches in the backseat and bang the steering wheel in anger and let my tears fall. Fall because I love him, fall because I hate him for what he did to Laura and fall because Laura is in a situation she was just in six months ago because of him. I start my car and drive to the hospital as fast but carefully as I can since I am so blinded by the tears falling down my face. I arrive back at the hospital and go to Laura's room. She is sitting talking with Tom and I stop to listen. "Laura I'll support you, whatever you decide." I hear Tom say. " "I can't give both of them up because it's not fair to you, but I can't keep both of them because it isn't fair to mum and what do we tell the kids. I also can't separate them because it's not fair to either baby." Laura says starting to cry. "What if we gave them both up? " I hear Tom ask her, but I can hear the despair in his voice. "Tom I can't do that I know how much this baby means to you." Laura says sobbing. I feel my heart break for the couple and can hear Laura crying. After a few minutes  I decide to make my presence known as I walk into the room. "You heard that didn't you. " Laura says. I nod my head as I notice her and Tom both have red eyes from crying. Honestly I can feel tears filling my eyes as well as I think about what Tim is doing to them. I take Laura's hand in mine and say "Listen sweetheart I'm sorry Tim did this to you, but I'll support you no matter what. If you want to keep the baby I understand, or if you want to put it up for adoption I understand." Laura looks at me and says "I'm giving up one baby I can't stand to hurt you." I can see tears falling down her face. I suddenly come up with an idea.

Laura P.O.V. 

After mum leaves Tom and I are sitting in the hospital room talking when the doctor walks in. "Tom, do you mind if I speak to Laura alone for a minute please." "Sure, I'll be right outside." he says, kissing the top of my head. As soon as he leaves and closes the door the nurse looks at me and says, "Laura, we got some of your bloodwork back and we need to discuss it." I find myself getting scared. We noticed in your blood that you had a high level of the hormone HCG, which only occurs during pregnancy. We would like to take blood from Tom as well and do a DNA test as well as an ultrasound." I look at the doctor trying to process what she is saying. I can only nod my head as the doctor leaves and Tom walks back into the room. I look at him as I feel my eyes starting to fill with tears. "Laura, what's wrong?" Tom asks, hugging me as he kneels next to the bed. "I'm pregnant." I tell him, feeling a few tears sliding down my face. "Why are you crying then?" Tom asks, perplexed. I relay to him what the nurse said as she comes back in with the ultrasound machine. I look at Tom nervously as I lay back in the bed and roll up my shirt. The nurse squeezes the gel onto my stomach and moves the probe around. I stare at the screen nervously and see not one, but two babies on the screen. I stare at the screen in shock and in a slight case of fear worrying about how Tom and I will manage with five children. The nurse snaps me out of my thoughts by saying, "From what I can tell, you look to be about twelve weeks pregnant, which should put your due date at May 26th." The nurse then looks at Tom and says, "I'd like to run a DNA test on the babies so I will need a blood sample from you." "Not a problem." Tom answers, as he rolls up his sleeve. The nurse takes the blood from Tom. She then takes a needle and pokes it into my abdomen to extract DNA from both babies. "We should have the results in an hour." she tells us.  She then walks out of the room, closing the door behind her. "What are we going to do?" I ask Tom, feeling tears slide down my face. "We will figure it out." Tom tells me, squeezing my hand reassuringly. The nurse comes back an hour later and says "We got the DNA results back on the babies." Tom and I look at each other and then at the nurse signaling for her to continue. "We were only able to find one baby that matched Tom's DNA." The nurse says. I find myself getting dizzy and the room begins to spin. I find myself feeling sick and I grab the trashcan next to the bed and find myself getting violently sick. Once I am done, I can feel the waterfall of tears cascading down my face. I lean my head on Tom's shoulder as I cry. "We can discuss options such as you keeping them or if you want to put them or even one up for adoption we can get a social worker to come talk to you." the nurse says. " I need to talk to my mum first." I tell her. "Not a problem, take your time." The nurse says, walking out of the room. "We need to call mum." I tell Tom, drying my eyes. "Hello." mum answers  "Mum it's me. " I say and  I can feel a fresh wave of tears beginning to fall. "Laura what's wrong?" mum asks, panicked. "It'll be okay we'll figure it out. " Tom says to me. "Laura what's wrong?" mum asks, scared. " Helena, Laura got some unsettling news from the doctor. " Tom says. "What's wrong?" mum asks. " Laura's pregnant there are two babies but they're not twins one is mine the other baby is Tim's. The doctor said the only options are keeping them or adoption. Laura wants to talk to you when you get back." "I'll call you when I'm on my way." mum says to Tom before she hangs up. "Laura I'll support you, whatever you decide." Tom says.  "I can't give both of them up because it's not fair to you, but I can't keep both of them because it isn't fair to mum and what do we tell the kids. I also can't separate them because it's not fair to either baby." I say starting to cry. "What if we gave them both up? "  Tom asks me, but I can hear the despair in his voice. "Tom I can't do that I know how much this baby means to you." I say sobbing. After a few minutes I see mum walk into the room. "You heard that didn't you. " I say. She nods her head as I take Laura's hand in mine and say "Listen sweetheart I'm sorry Tim did this to you, but I'll support you no matter what. If you want to keep the baby I understand, or if you want to put it up for adoption I understand." I look at  mum and say "I'm giving up one baby I can't stand to hurt you." I then continue to let the tears fall.
