"Hey sweetie how was your day?" Kelsey asked him. Scorpius smiled and gave her a casual kiss on her lips.

"It was alright," he answered as he sat down on the couch. He rested his arm on her shoulder and she lied down against him. It went automatically. In the months they had been together, it just went smoothly. They had been together like a normal couple and their relationship wasn't bothering anyone as Rose was as safe as it could get.

"Alright? But your work is never boring!" Kelsey laughed. Scorpius buried his face in her hair and the smell of her shampoo filled his nose. He coughed. Roses. Her shampoo had the smell of roses.

"Well, the people dropped the charges against Rose, we can finally look for a way to arrest those people and Rose got a new case. So there isn't anything spectacular going on for a while now," he explained. With a wave of his wand he turned on the radio and shuffled between the stations.

"I'm glad Rose is safe now. Last time I spoke to her I could really see how much it bothered her. Now she can focus on something else! It's good for her. Maybe she finds time for a boyfriend or so, after everything ended so badly with Nick..." Kelsey wondered, but the only thing that Scorpius really heard was 'Rose' and 'boyfriend.' The rest was all rubbish. He knew Kelsey wasn't as supportive as she was acting to be. She acted all nice and lovely, but in reality she hated Rose more than anything. It was like she knew what he and Rose had done. Like she knew what kind of tension there was between them. And it was probably too like she knew what was going on in Rose's head. Something Scorpius wanted to know so badly, but at the same time didn't. No, he had to stop this. It was months ago that he'd promised himself to stop caring about every little thing she did, said or thought.

"How was your day?" Scorpius forced himself to ask her. Why was this so hard? Why was this so unnatural? Why did Kelsey have to bring up Rose - or let him bring up Rose?

"It was amazing! Helga and me saved a guy and it felt so right..." Kelsey began. She talked and talked about this amazing thing while he just nodded and smiled at the right times. He was tired and told himself that it was okay. Kelsey's story was too long to give him the energy to cook, so when she was done he asked her if she was all right with dining outdoors.

"What's the occasion?" she asked. She smiled sweetly and looked down to caught his attention.

"Just...nothing," Scorpius answered. Her smiled went bigger and she winked.

"I'm going to change then," she said. She gave him a sweet kiss, but before she had the chance to make more of it, he stepped back.

"See you in a minute then," he answered.

After spending diner at the toilet, Helga decided that being pregnant wasn't all that. It wasn't everything she thought it was, but she sighted and cleaned everything up.

"Are you okay?" Frank asked her. Strangely enough, she heard herself saying that she was fine. Even stranger: she felt fine. Not completely, but it - the fetus - was worth it. It wasn't how it was written down in the books, but apparently nothing was, so she shouldn't be so disappointed.

I think S is going to propose! - K

The note woke her from her thoughts. S. K. Propose. What? Was Scorpius going to propose?
