Tom and I spend the night together talking about the baby and the process. Just like he said, he would be supportive if I decided to do it, he was supportive. He offered me to stay at his place with Derek and Timber, I really thought Jade would've moved in, because she's there all the time. I politely declined his offer but he was hell bent on helping me in times like this, so he said that once I would get pregnant and it would be difficult for me to do household chores, in his words, he will 'kidnap me'.
Emma, the twins, Tom, Derek, Jade and I were having dinner at Tom's, since they were the people who knew, we kinda formed another group apart from the HP family we had. I felt bad, but once I do get pregnant, I would tell them, so we could all go back to normal. "Alright, I've gotta go" I said looking at my watch.
"Now? Wouldn't it be after hours?" Emma asked helping me put the plates back in the sink. "Yes, but this is the time I do get, plus Dr. Turner understands and keeps it open for me. And he's not going to retrieve the egg today, he's going to check again if my endometrial layer is thick enough, I mean he already checked but that was in December and we've had three full cycles of IVF and I'm not pregnant" I said taking the support of the kitchen counter, "I can check that for you" Tom flirted as I rolled my eyes.
"See you guys tomorrow" I said taking my purse, petting Timber and heading for the door. As I was about to leave, "I can come if you want" Tom said as I opened the door. I turned around, "No, no, that's fine" I said, "It will hardly be a 10 minute appointment, I don't wanna waste your time, plus if Vin sees another guy, you're gonna have a stare-off" I mumbled the last part to myself.
"What?" Tom asked and I looked up, "N-Nothing, nothing, I'll see you tomorrow" I said and left for the doctor's. The clinic was an hour away from Tom's which was kinda boring, cause Julius and Nick found that fertility clinic as it was close to my home and it would be easy for me to go to the visits. I pulled up in front of the dark clinic, since it was after closing hours.
"Miss Y/L/N" Vin's assistant greeted me as she took my coat. "Thank you, is Dr. Calvin in?" I asked making her nod. "You know the protocol" she said as I went into his office and changed into the hospital gown - as I told earlier - was very comfortable. "Hello, Y/N" Vin greeted by just grazing our cheeks and not actually giving me a peck or the other way around.
Again, this time, his attire was completely different from what he usually wore when the clinic was busy. He wore a thin white t-shirt that had short sleeves and some ripped black jeans with his stethoscope loosely hung around his neck, not how doctors wear it always. His biceps were more visible this time and they involuntarily flexed as he moved his arms to do some work.
He may have asked me a question as I was busy looking at his body, "Y/N?" he asked and I snapped out of my ungodly thoughts. "Yeah?" I asked shifting a little on the hospital bed. "I asked, how are you feeling, any pain?" he asked making me shake my head no. "But these needles are killing me" I groaned making him chuckle.
"Here" he handed me meds so that I wouldn't feel pain much. He placed himself between my thighs and went under the blanket. "Can I ask you something?" I asked resting my hands on top of my stomach, "Yes, anything" he replied sweetly, still from under the blanket. "Well, I was just wondering if it takes so long for other women" I asked as I heard the clinic door open.
"It does, not for everyone, the answer might hurt you but women do get pregnant easily because of our method" he said as he came out of the blanket, "But don't worry, I have a good feeling about this" he said warmly as he placed a hand on my knee. The door of his office burst open and I saw Tom. How did he know Vin's office?
"Who's he?" Vin asked looking at me. Not this again. "Erm, Tom, this is Dr. Vin, erm Doc, this is Tom, my best friend" I said introducing them. If they behave like Rob and Vin did a month ago, I'll kill them. "Nice to meet you, Vin" Tom said offering a handshake, "Actually, it's Calvin" he said shaking his hand.
Fuck me!
"Y/N, if you don't mind, I will retrieve the egg because everything is perfectly fine and there's not point in delaying" Vin said as Tom stood near me. "Yeah, I'm fine with it" I said and turned to Tom, "How did you know the address?" I asked as he moved some of my hair out of my face. "Julius gave it to me, he send every other thing that was important about your case" he said as Vin sat between my thighs and put the blanket up.
"You can wait outside-" I cut off Vin as I saw Tom angrily squinting his eyes at Vin's position, "That's fine, Vin, he can stay" It's not like he hasn't already seen it, "I thought it was Calvin" Tom whispered as I rolled my eyes at him. I felt pain as Vin started the process. I tightened my hand around the hospital gown which Tom noticed and took my hand in his. "It'll be over in a few seconds" he mumbled as he placed soft kisses on top of my head.
"All done" Vin said as he carefully placed a the plate down and helped me sit back up straight. "Now, Y/N, I really have a good feeling about this one, so I need you to take extra care of yourself, once we place the embryo in, I have to warn you like always, you'll be bloody moody, so yeah..." he said as Tom helped me down the bed.
I changed and came out to see Tom and Vin having a stare-off. I cleared my throat a little to break the tension, Tom grabbed my hand to help me walk, "So, I'll you in three days, Y/N" Vin said as he bent down to peck my cheek and yet not actually pecking it. "You'll see us at every visit now" Tom added as he tightened the grip around my hand. "Sure, Doc, thank you" I said as we left his office hand in hand.
••••••
"Are you freaking kidding me?" I yelled as I saw the newspaper's headline. Emma groaned as she came down, "Can you be any more loud?" she said resting her head on the kitchen counter. "I fucking hate paparazzi" I said as I dialed Tom's number, like always he picked up in two rings.
"Yeah, I saw it!" he said angrily as well. 'Tom and Y/N, expecting a baby?' this was the headline above the picture of me and Tom leaving the clinic, hand in hand. "Tom, this is exactly why I didn't want you to come" I said shaking my head. "I don't care, I said I will be supportive, no matter what, let them think whatever they want"
"But Jade-"
"Let them think whatever they want" he repeated and I nodded, like he would be able to see my nod. "You know, darling, we're not on FaceTime, so I can't see your nod" he said making me laugh. "Well, I'll see you on set" I said hanging up. Emma and I reached the set in fifteen minutes and we got ready for our scenes. According to the script, the movie was going to be more like some teen drama, not that much, plus Jade was still Astoria, so... isn't that just wonderful?!
"Action!"
"Miss Montgomery" Lucius said entering the area.
I looked to my right and stood up, "Mr. Malfoy" I said offering a handshake. He looked at my hand and then at my face. I had my eyebrows raised in anticipation to what he was thinking for so long. I sighed when he brought his hand forward and shook my hand.
"Sweetheart" Narcissa said coming from behind her husband. She opened her arms up, coming to me happily and pulled me in a bone crushing hug. "Oh, how much I've missed you" she said into the hug. I wrapped my hands around her and said, "I missed you too, Mrs. Malfoy"
"So, Draco tells me that you wanted to talk about something" Lucius said as he made himself comfortable on the couch. I sat next to Draco and said, "Yes, it's about your trials" They all looked at each other in worry. I could see how much they were worried about each other rather than themselves.
"I talked to Minister Kingsley and waived off your jail time" I said opening my bag and pulling out some parchment and quill. "You did?" they all said in unison and in shock.
"Yes, but he said that you will still have to go through the trials" I said as I placed the parchment on the table and looked up. All three of them had huge smiles on their faces as they didn't have to go to Azkaban. It was probably the first time I saw Mr. Malfoy smile.
It was terrifying to watch him.
It wasn't actually terrifying, cause Jason's smile is amazing and he is an actual sweetheart.
"Now, they were assigning you some pathetic lawyer, so I took the case in my hands. Is that okay, Mr. Malfoy?" I said looking at him, kindly. "Yes" he replied coldly, the smile that he had on his face, disappearing in a blink of an eye.
"Alright, so I'm here to take as much as information I can from you. Tell me everything, from the start, so that I can gather evidence and present it in court" I said ready to start writing. After 3 hours, I collected every information that I could. I sighed as I rolled up the parchments and placed them in my bag.
"Right, from what the minister told me, all of you have different dates for trial, that means that they are separating your cases, that is a disadvantage to us. Because if you all had a case as one family, our case would've been a lot stronger. But I can make it work from this as well" I said sharply and they all nodded.
"Now, I need to ask you all one thing" I said looking at them one at a time. "Do you trust me?" I asked and two of them replied quickly. "Yes" Narcissa and Draco. I looked at Mr. Malfoy and waited. He hesitantly agreed by just nodding.
"Alright, then it's done. Excuse me, I need to use the restroom" I said and stood up. "I'll come with you" Draco said standing up and holding my hand.
"Cut!" David said and Tom and I went out the set and Jason and Helen continued the scene. Tom and I took a breather and walked around the set, which Vin recommended as he called me last night to... check up. "When did he suggest this? I was there like the whole time" Tom asked as I kicked a small rock with my leg, "On call, yesterday" I said making him nod. Luckily he didn't ask more because we were called for our scene next.
"Action!"
We were walking up to his room, when he said, "They agreed to hand our case over to you? I mean, don't you need any-"
"Yes, they agreed. I am 'inegalee sorciere'. What else do they need?" I said cockily, which made him laugh. I used the restroom and came out to see Draco lying on his bed. I walked up to him and he looked at me.
"Please, tell me that you're staying the night" he said with puppy dog eyes. I shook my head and he groaned, "Dinner then?" he asked and again, I shook my head. "Oh, come on" he whined sitting up straight.
"I told Mum that I'll be back before dinner. And talking about dinner..." I said and sat in his lap. "I don't like where this is going" he said snaking his hands on my waist. "Well, Mum wants to meet you, she was asking you to drop by for dinner" I said kissing him on his cheeks.
"Olivia, they'll not like me" he said rolling his eyes. "My parents love everyone" I said running my hand through his hair and giving them a style. "And, definitely, Weasley has already bad mouthed me, I'm sure of that" he said kissing my neck.
God! His lips on my neck and the baby process just makes me more horny!
"No..." I said and he looked at me, "Well, maybe. But still, come on. Don't you think that they should meet my boyfriend since I've been dating him for a year and a half?"
"They've already-" "No, they haven't, not officially" I said cutting him off. "I'll think about it" he said smothering me with kisses. "What's there to think about?" I said giggling a little. "Well-"
"No, I'm not taking no for an answer" I said and pulled myself away from his kisses. "Argh, fine Honorary Weasley. I'll come for dinner, say tomorrow?" he said and now it was my turn to smother him with kisses.
"Wow, if I knew that I was getting these in return, I would've said yes easily" he said chuckling. "They'll love you" I said and we talked for another hour and I went back to the living room.
Tom wasn't supposed to kiss me on the lips when the scene ended, it wasn't scripted, but he did it anyways.
••••••
Tom and I visited the fertility clinic for placing the embryo in my uterus and I have been a bloody mess ever since. It has been two weeks into April now and I'm still not pregnant. Vin did tell me to keep a positive approach plus Tom has been there for every step, so I am quite happy.
Not right now, though.
I groaned as Nina messed up the makeup once again, "Do you need a break or something?" I asked harshly. "Maybe you do" Tom said from the door. "Nina, darling, take a break, I'll bring her back in a few" he said sweetly as I stood up from the chair. I thought we were going to walk around the set, but apparently not, he pulled me to his trailer and sat me down on the couch.
"Did you take a test?" he asked handing me a bottle of water. I shook my head, I had been vomiting all morning, my bloody mood swings weren't helping either. I wanted to take a pregnancy test but I was just scared that it would come negative again, so I didn't take it. "Are you afraid?" Tom asked softly as he sat next to me. He read my mind.
I nodded and burst into tears, he hugged me tightly as I cried on his chest, dampening his shirt along with it. "I really think you should" he said as I pulled away. He wiped the smudged mascara and all the makeup Nina did with a wet tissue. Poor Nina.
Why did I have to yell at her?
After having another argument, where I was at Tom's throat but he replied calmly, we came to the conclusion that I should indeed get a test. We waited for the results to arrive as I was holding the test in my hand. "It's time" Tom said making me look at him. "I d-don't want to, Tom. What if it's negative?"
"I highly doubt it"
