A Life Changing Vacation

Chapter 6 - Part I

- Three months later -

Minerva, who is now 6 months pregnant was excited and worried at the same time since today Albus will be returning from France. While he was away, they still kept in touch by writing letters to each other every single day. But in the past two weeks, Albus hadn't responded to her letters at all and Minerva was quite worried. He still had no idea of their child in her belly, but while he was away, she had time to think about how she would break the news to Albus that he's going to be a father in three months.

Minerva has planned a little surprise for Albus which would also reveal her secret to him.

-----------------------///---------------------

After lunch, Minerva went into her sitting room and took the shopping bag from the floor beside her working table. She took out all the decorations she bought yesterday and start to decorate her apartment before she sends a letter to invite Albus to come over. Minerva spent the past three hours decorating her apartment with pink banners and pink balloons, on her coffee table were two glasses and a bottle of champagne, and a jug filled with water since she certainly cannot drink champagne while she is pregnant. When everything was done Minerva started to write the letter, she was going to send to Albus.

-----------------------///---------------------

When the owl has left her apartment to deliver Albus her letter, Minerva walked back into her kitchen, took the daily prophet from the kitchen counter, and started to read the newspaper while waiting for Albus to come over. But when she turned the first page of the daily prophet Minerva fell onto her sofa while starring the picture in the newspaper. Re-reading the headline over and over again, while her world has crumbled down.

'Wizarding world's bachelor Albus Dumbledore is engaged to be married to the most beautiful witch in our world, Patricia White.'

Not wanting to read any further Minerva threw the newspaper onto the coffee table, raised from the sofa, and ran into her bedroom where she let herself fall onto her four-poster bed. Minerva cried herself to sleep with her hand resting on her belly. Later that afternoon the door to her bedroom opened.
