[size=1]"What's the matter?" Tree asked gently, moving closer to her to take one of her hands in his. "You don't look.. happy at all..." He was now worried about her- she looked a little peaky and, well, it was pretty unlike her to jump to conclusions that way.[/size] |

[size=1]She shook her head. "Not with Kit here," she said. "Please...can we talk alone?" She smiled apologetically at his cousin. It wasn't that she had anything against Kit it was just...more private news. It was hard enough without his cousin - whom she had accused of incest and gone to school with - there to listen. She took his hand, and stepped closer to him, brushing ever so lightly against him, without really leaning into him, or hugging him. She wasn't sure what to do. [/size] |

[size=1] He pulled her gently into an embrace, kissing the top of her head softly. "Kit? Leave?" he suggested, raising his eyebrows. He completely respected that Glenn wanted some time for just the two of them. [/size] |

[size=1] Kit nodded and silently left, feeling guilty and a little... neglected. She just... didn't know what to do with herself any more. [/size] |

[size=1]Glen sighed, nodded, and when Kit was gone, finally pressed herself into his arms. “I have news for you,” she said. “I just found out myself...and I don't know if it's good or not...” She was aware that she could keep talking like this forever, and it wouldn't get her anywhere. “Tree, I'm pregnant,” she blurted, finally, and then hid her face and waited for him to react. [/size] |

[size=1] He had steeled himself for terrible news, but... this took him by surprise. "You're... pregnant," he repeated slowly. "As in, going to have a baby in about nine months. Okay." Tree took a deep breath and rubbed her back gently, stopping to say, "I'll do whatever you want me to do. I mean... we can get an abortion if you're not ready, or put it up for adoption or... we could get married." He secretly sort of hoped that she would choose the third option. He really... really liked Glenn. And so what if this was all happening sooner than expected? Maybe it was a sign.[/size] |

[size=1]Glenn nodded wearily. "Yeah, that kind of pregnant," she said. She leaned into his arms and listened to what he said, without really even thinking about it. “I thought about an abortion,” she said, “I mean...I don't think I'm ready, I really don't. But adoption? I don't...know.” And then she froze, because to keep herself sane she'd been focusing on things methodically, as a list, in her mind. “Get married?” she asked, slowly. “Tree...you want me to...marry you?” She wasn't sure if he was serious or not. But it was – just because of the baby, she knew he wouldn't have said it otherwise. And she didn't know if she wanted that. [/size] |

[size=1] "Well, I really... like you, Glenn," he said simply. "And I wouldn't mind being with you for a very long time. I probably wouldn't have asked so early if you weren't pregnant- that's true. But I probably would have asked in a few months. Because I think that we really have something good here."[/size] |

[size=1]Glenn shook her head, slowly. "It's not that I don't appreciate the offer, Tree," she said, quietly. "I just...I don't think I'm really ready for that. I don't even know if I want to keep the baby - I don't know if I want to do anything...and I'm just eighteen, I don't know where I'm going in life yet." She stepped away from him and sat down on the couch. "We hardly know each other - alright, that's a lie, we do know each other. But it's only been what, two months? And the whole fact that I'm pregnant....it doesn't mean we're ready for marriage." She hated having to say it, but it was how she felt, and she wasn't about to lie to him. [/size] |

[size=1] He nodded. "I completely understand. I just want you to know that I'm all for whatever you choose," he said simply. "I understand that this is a tough situation for you and I want you to be able to make the best possible decision." Sighing, he sat down in a chair, resting his head in his hands. [/size] |

[size=1]She sighed, nodded, and moved from where she was to perch in his lap, slipping her arms around him. "It's nothing against you, Tree...please believe that, okay?" She was just...very confused. Very confused, and scared. "I mean...it's just a bit...alright, it's a lot to think about. I don't think I'm going to know right away."[/size] |

[size=1] "I know," he answered quietly. "I'm so sorry, Glenn..." He kissed her softly, tentatively. "I can't believe I put you in this position... I just... I'm so sorry..."[/size] |

[size=1]She kissed him back, with a smile, and then shook her head. "It's not your fault," she said. "It was both of us - we both did it, it's not...just you." She was trying to be positive about the whole thing - even though she wasn't sure what there was to be positive about - the concept of bringing a new life into the world...didn't make her excited. It made her scared. [/size] |

[size=1] "Admittedly, it does take two," he allowed, though he frowned and continued with, "but I'm twenty five years old, Glenn. I should be mature enough to make sure I wasn't getting my girlfriend pregnant in the first couple of months of our relationship." He touched her hand lightly, brushing his fingers against it, and then stood up. "I just... I'm so sorry."[/size] |

[size=1]As he stood up, she sat back and looked at him. "It's okay," she said, slowly. "I forgive you? We'll figure something out." She already knew...she sort of knew she wasn't ready for this, not yet. Not ready to get married, not ready to have a kid - she was stuck, though. [/size] |

[size=1] "I should go see my sister," he said quietly, staring at the ground. "She'll probably never let me hear the end of it if I don't." He hugged Glenn quickly before exiting his flat.[/size] |

[size=1]She watched him go. Once he'd left, she stayed in his flat - she figured he wouldn't mind, if he was willing to marry her. She was so confused, and felt so alone. She curled up in the armchair and let herself cry. [/size] |

[size=1] Apparating into his flat, Glenn close behind, Tree was so distracted that he completely fell over himself. "Damn," he mumbled, getting up and grinning sheepishly at her. "Well, if the whole... Auror thing doesn't work out, I could always become a clown," he joked, though it hardly lightened the mood in the room. [/size] |

[size=1]Glenn, who had almost tripped over him, smiled at his attempt for humor. "Thank you, Tree," she said, softly, and went over to sit on the couch, motioning that he should follow her. "I just...I don't know," she said. "I'm scared to do anything - because I don't know what's right."[/size] |

[size=1] "I don't know what's right either," he said simply. "I don't think that we're ready to be parents yet, and I'm not sure it would be a good idea for you to go through a full pregnancy... but I don't want you to feel pressured to do anything, okay?" He rubbed her back gently as he sat down next to her, trying to soothe her. He knew that it couldn't possibly be easy for her. [/size] |
