Slytherin Boys x Y/N Short Stories/Reacts

Unexpected Parenthood - Tom Riddle

Tom Riddle, the enigmatic and ambitious Slytherin, was always in control. His piercing eyes and charismatic presence commanded attention and respect. Y/N, a fellow Slytherin, had been drawn to his intensity since their first year at Hogwarts. They began as unlikely friends, their bond forged through countless late-night conversations in the Slytherin common room. Over time, their friendship evolved into a deeper, more intimate relationship.

As their seventh year at Hogwarts began, Tom and Y/N found themselves facing an unexpected challenge. Y/N had been feeling unwell for weeks, her usual energy replaced by constant fatigue and nausea. One evening, after another grueling day of classes and prefect duties, Y/N confided in Tom.

"Tom, I think something's wrong with me," Y/N admitted, her voice trembling.

Tom's expression softened, a rare moment of vulnerability crossing his face. "What's been happening?"

"I've been feeling sick, and I missed... well, you know," she said, looking away in embarrassment.

Tom's mind raced. He wasn't one to panic, but the implications of her words were clear. "We need to see Madam Pomfrey," he said firmly, taking her hand.

The visit to the Hogwarts infirmary confirmed their fears. Y/N was pregnant. The news hit them like a tidal wave, leaving them reeling in shock. For Tom, it was a disruption to his carefully laid plans. For Y/N, it was a whirlwind of emotions—fear, confusion, and a strange sense of excitement.

"We'll figure this out," Tom said, his voice steady despite the storm brewing inside him. "But we need to be careful. No one can know about this."

Y/N nodded, trusting Tom's judgment. They decided to keep the pregnancy a secret, navigating the challenges in silence. As the months passed, Y/N's condition became harder to conceal. Her robes grew tighter, and she found it increasingly difficult to keep up with her classes and prefect duties.

Tom, ever resourceful, devised plans to ensure their secret remained safe. He began studying spells and potions that could help, always with an eye toward maintaining control. But beneath his composed exterior, Tom was struggling with the reality of becoming a father.

One evening, as they sat in the Slytherin common room, Y/N looked at Tom, worry etched across her face. "What are we going to do after the baby is born, Tom? We can't keep hiding forever."

Tom sighed, his eyes reflecting the weight of his thoughts. "We'll leave Hogwarts. I'll find a way to support us. I've been researching... alternative means."

Y/N felt a shiver run down her spine at his words, but she trusted him. "I believe in you, Tom. We'll make it work."

As Y/N's due date approached, they made their preparations. Tom arranged for a discreet midwife to assist with the birth, and they found a small, hidden cottage far from Hogwarts. On a cold winter's night, their child was born—a beautiful baby girl with Tom's dark eyes and Y/N's warm smile.

Holding their daughter for the first time, Tom felt a surge of emotions he had never experienced before. Love, protectiveness, and a fierce determination to create a future for his family. Y/N watched him, her heart swelling with love for both Tom and their newborn child.

"We did it, Tom," she whispered, tears of joy in her eyes.

Tom nodded, his gaze fixed on their daughter. "Yes, we did. And we'll continue to do whatever it takes to protect her."

Their lives changed completely as they adjusted to parenthood. Tom's ambition now included providing for and protecting his family, while Y/N found strength she never knew she had. They faced challenges together, their bond growing stronger with each passing day.

Despite the difficulties, they were happy. Their love for each other and their daughter created a sanctuary amidst the chaos of the world outside. Tom's dark ambitions were tempered by his love for his family, and Y/N found fulfillment in the simple joys of motherhood.

Together, they navigated the complexities of their new life, forging a future where love and ambition coexisted. And as they watched their daughter grow, they knew they would face whatever came their way, united as a family.
