My silver plated fork pushes the bright orange carrots around on my plate, my appetite long gone.
Harry and I haven't spoken since we had found out that I am pregnant again. I'm not sure if he's happy, shocked or just plain disappointed.
Suddenly, for the first time in what feels like forever, Harry speaks to me.
"Isthefoodnottoyourliking, mylove?" He asks and I smile softly at him.
"No, it's not thefood, Harry. Ijustwannaknowwhatyou'rethinking." I tell him and he sighs, placing his fork down beside his plate.
"Youarepregnant again, Brinley. Icouldbarelyprotect you the first time. Anythingcanhappenthistimearound." He admits and I nod, understanding the way he is feeling.
"Igetit. But, I'monlya few weekspregnant. Wehavequiteabit of timetothinkabouteverything." I tell him and he sighs, nodding his head after a few seconds.
I stand up and make my way over to him. I take his hand and place it over my stomach. "Thisisyourchildgrowinginhere. We are allgoing to be okay. You'rethevampireKing, Harry. Youcanprotect us withyourpinkyfinger." I giggle and Harry smiles, rubbing his thumb over my stomach.
"Indeed." He smiles and leans up to kiss me.
