Torn Between Two Riddles (RIDDLES x READER FANFIC)

Chapter 90: His Child

Y/N BLACK-

All I can see is black.

I could hear them,

"Y/n? Darling? What's happening?! SOMEONE HELP!" Tom's voice rang as he picked me up.

"Get her inside!" McGonagall's voice rang.

"Y/n??" George voice rang from above.

"What the fuck happened?! Tom!! What happened?!" Blaise's voice got louder as he ran up to me.

"She just..." sobs rang as I could feel wind as he ran into the corridor, "collapsed."

"Is she breathing??" Ginny said on my right.

I felt cold hands feel for a pulse as I was laid across a table.

"Move!! Everyone move!!" I heard Madam Pomfrey running into the hall.

I could hear muttered spells and quiet whispers as she felt my head, then my stomach?

Then she muttered another spell and I jerked awake.

It took me a second to control my breathing, instinctively I tried getting up off the table.

I need Theo.

I was panicking.

I needed him to tell me everything was going to be okay, but he can't.

Because he's never coming back.

Tom gripped my shoulders, "everything is going to be okay!! You are okay!" He looked up at Pomfrey, "she's okay right?"

Everyone turned to her as she stared at us in blank silence. "She's pregnant. And the extreme power surge she used caused her body to shut down momentarily to protect the baby."

Everything after the first two words was a blur.

She's pregnant.

Pregnant?

Pregnant.

With a child?

His child.

That's why I can still feel him.

My eyes met Tom's and I broke. I cried for every emotion I could have.

Happy that the universe let me keep a piece of Theo.

Angry that it took away my child's father, the love of my life.

Sad that he would never know or even get to see his child.

Guilty that I was here and he wasn't.

Fear that I wouldn't be good enough to raise it on my own.

"Don't worry love, it's okay.... It will be okay!! I'm never leaving you okay? I will always be here for you and for your child."

More emotions.

More guilt.

He pulled me into his arms and I felt safe for a second.

I can't-

I can't do this.

I can't.

I chose Theo. I can't be with Tom, just because Theo died.

I need to be alone.

I haven't been alone since the day I met them in my fourth year.

Since the day they showed me that love isn't just a word.

I love them both.

I always have.

Tom lifted my chin, "breathe darling."
