Moths to a Flame

34. Surprise

Early Summer 1893

It's been a few weeks now and the boys and I have been thinking about what we should do for a wedding and they were also trying to find jobs. Ominis' application went unanswered. So he tried again. Sebastian's application to the Auror office was answered, so he has to go for an interview at the ministry. He's incredibly nervous about it. It's not for a few weeks but I'm sure he'll be fine, he's an extremely capable wizard. I still don't know. It's an incredibly hard decision to make. I've been very irritable about it really. I've also noticed slight discomfort around me. I can't really understand what it is about me that's affecting me so.

It was a beautiful day today. Summer's in Feldcroft truly are beautiful and the warm sun was asking to be explored. So I left the house and wander over to the boys who are working in the garden. Try to not get distracted with them being sweating and shirtless. I tell them I was going to take a walk. They nodded and I kissed them and walked down the pathway out of the town. I've done this before, running around the highlands when I was fifteen. I chatted with so many people helped so many of them as well. I was heading east, not really sure where I'm going to go, I just wanted a simple walk. I know the Irondale hamlet is in this direction and I'm eventually going come across it. That on my way there I passed many abandoned castles. I saw a glow from one of the ruins and I hesitated. It was intriguing so I cautiously made my way towards it.

I entered the ruins and didn't find any other presence I used revelio and nothing so I stored my wand away and wandered around I entered a room there wasn't anything really in it other then an ornate golden mirror. I walked up to it and I saw myself obviously, but I seemed older and manifesting next to me were two figures of Sebastian and Ominis on either side of me. I quickly whipped my head around to see if they had followed me, but they hadn't. I looked back at the mirror, only upon closer examination they too looked older and Sebastian was holding a child. I started to smile. What a precious moment. He looked so comfortable. Mirror Sebastian was smiling at me. Mirror Ominis was holding the hand of an older child smiling widely. How could this mirror know all this. Reflect what I want in life. It has to be enchanted in someway.

A beautiful life with my family, maybe it's showing the future and we're going to have children together soon. Maybe this funny feeling within me is that we're going to have a child. I looked down at myself. I put my hands over my stomach area to feel. I think back when the last time I had menstruated. It had been a little longer than usual as far as my memory was concerned, but I never had a regular cycle so I didn't think much of it. Now however I could be wrong. I could be with child. Panic started to consume me. Like a tidal wave all the evidence adds up. Being emotional, not feeling well, and missing a menstrual cycle. Holy crap I'm pregnant!? I ran out of the ruined structure and all the way back to Feldcroft I had to tell the boys immediately.

When I got back to the house the boys were no longer outside and the sun was starting to set. I threw open the door and I saw them in the kitchen making supper with the tea kettle on.

"Ahh, you're back I was just wondering if I was going to have to come find you. How was your walk darling?" Sebastian said.

"Good I guess"  but my voice wobbled and they both like a pair of blood hounds heard it and immediately stared at me.

"Are you alright love" Ominis asks.

"Yes, o-of course I am why wouldn't I be." I say to them.

"You're hiding something" Sebastian blurted.
"What is it"

I swallowed hard. Came home to tell them, but now that I'm here it's more intimidating. How do I tell them something like this, it's going to change everything. We wanted a family but not for a few years down the road. This puts a wrench in everything.
