A month had already passed since Cornictacus had left their house. He had not contacted her and she had not contacted him. However, that did not meant she did not miss him. Helga was heart broken and she had been looking sick lately; her skin was greyish, her eyes sunken in their sockets and for a pregnant woman of six months she looked too thin. Her work seemed to be the less effected by the sudden changes in her life. Helga had vowed not to let her students suffer because of her personal life, and therefore tried acting as normal as possible around them. She was currently in Diagon Alley, sitting alone in a teashop staring into nothingness. |

Salazar was shopping in Diagon Alley buying more cauldrons then needed why? Because of that stupid student named Sirius oh everyone saw him as brilliant but in potions? He was worst than a mudblood, always creating some bloody explosions, he wanted to expel the boy but couldn't, it annoyed him so much, he bought more of the cauldrons and more recipes for potions and eventually left, he looked around and saw someone he recognized near the teashop, though something about Helga was worrying him, he approached her calmly and remarked how her skin was looking greyish, she wasn't herself he knew that much, she might try to fool her students or other founders but she couldn't fool him. "Helga my dear... what's wrong with you?"

Helga ordered herself a herbal tea but it remained untouched as she stared into space. She did not notice Salazar's appearance until he spoke. And when he did, she jumped in her seat and turned to face him frantically. She offered him a small weak smile and said, "Nothing. I am fine Salazar. You worry too much." As if to prove her statement, she picked her ice cold tea and forced the cup to her lips. Helga tipped the cup and squeezed her eyes shut as the bitter cold liquid hit the back of her throat. She lowered the cup back to the table and started coughing. When the fit was over, she looked up at Salazar sheepishly.

Salazar looked at her and sighed, did she think he was an imbecile, something was clearly wrong, for someone pregnant she was a bit too thin, her skin was also bad, she didn't seem energetic at all, he sighed and sat in front of her, ordering some tea for himself as he looked back at her. "Now now my dear, I'm not an imbecile you know, tell me what happened, you don't look good, certainly not healthy.. think about your baby for a while my dear."

Helga stared down in her lap, trying to avoid Salazar's eyes. She could hear the chair opposite her being dragged out, and squeaking lightly under Salazar's weight. She listened to him in silence and was about to reply. But then he mentioned her unborn child. Helga's shoulders started shaking and fat tears rolled down her face onto the table. She finally looked up and sobbed, "Why does everyone keep reminding me of this child? What if I don't want it? What if I never did?" |

Salazar listened and got close to her, wiping her tears away, she couldn't be serious he just made a shh sound to her as he kept looking to her. "I don't want to hear you do this to yourself, you'd be an excellent mother, and I know you probably care about the child, would you really hurt this gift from the heavens my dear?"

As Salazar reached to wipe away her tears, Helga pulled her head backwards. She looked up at Salazar and said in a hushed voice, "It's not a gift but a curse." Helga broke into tears and leaned into Salazar, burying her head in his chest. She looked up and said, "My life is a mess Salazar. I just want things to go back the way they were before I became pregnant." |

"You can't be honest, you seemed happy what changed now.. did something happen with your fiancee?" Salazar asked, patting her back softly, he was sad for her, and he knew that what he said wouldn't make her feel better he sighed calmly, he wish he could really help her, but he had no real idea on what was going on.

Helga sighed sadly and replied with guilt plastered over her face, "I am being truthful. The pregnancy happened Salazar. And it wasn't supposed to." More tears streamed down her face at the mention of her fiance, she was glad that he had not used his name. Helga was grateful to his gentleness and comfort and in the end she said in a strangled voice, "He left me... over a month ago." |

"Left you? There most be a misunderstanding my dear, or did he take the ring off? Salazar said, hugging Helga and caressing her back he tried everything to make her feel better, he didn't like seeing her or any of his other friends this way.

Helga shook her head and started toying with her engagement ring. "There is no misunderstanding. He packed his bags and left." She looked confused by his question about the ring. Helga shrugged and replied, "I don't know. I haven't seen him since... or even heard from him." |

"Ah my foolish friend." Salazar said, still hugging her tightly, she didn't seem to understand that her fiancee was probably waiting for letters from her, or he just didn't have the courage to send her some after the departure. Though he had to verify for himself, to see what her reaction would be did she still love Cornictacus? He had to verify make sure she knew her priorities. Salazar lift up her chin and kissed her on the lips softly.

Helga was slightly started when he took her chin into his hands. Her eyes widened when she saw his face moving closer to her. She had waited for this moment for ages. But after his rejection, she had moved on and met her wonderful fiance. When there lips finally met, Helga returned it slowly. While her lips were responding, her brain was screaming stop. The command was finally verbalised and she pushed Salazar away. "I am pregnant. I am carrying the child of the man I love. Even if Cornictacus does not love me anymore, I will never stop loving him." She placed both hands on her stomach and told her unborn child, "I love you too baby. I promise I will take care of you no matter what." Helga looked up at Salazar sadly and asked, "Why did you do that?" |

When Salazar was pushed away, he seemed rather satisfied, weird though he also heard some boxes crash on the floor, he didn't let it bother him, he just looked at her, did he really need to answer her question, he just gave her a smile. "To remind you of your priorities." Salazar said, his tea arrived, and he soon just kept his smile on an apparated away, he had work to do.
-----------------------------
Cornictacus saw Helga and another man sitting on a table, maybe he was just a friend, the man did seem to fit that Salazar fellow, he just looked at them, eventually opened his mouth as he dropped the boxes he was carrying, crashing on the floor, he was kissing her, and she was kissing back, his expression was shock, his heart froze, tears forming in his eyes as he turned away, about to leave until he heard what she said he turned back and looked at her for hours, when Salazar left, he took his wand out, and with a flick of it, made some letters appear on the table.
"Ma cherie... mange, prend soin de toi, sa me brise le coeur de te voir comme cela. Pense aussi a notre bebe. Je t'aime.. et je m'ennuie de toi"
French Translation : Honey, eat take care of yourself, seeing you like this is breaking my heart. Think about our baby.. I love you and I miss you."

Helga's shocked expression dissolved from her face. She reached for Salazar's hand and patted it gently before whispering, "Thank you." Helga watched him disapparate and slumped back against the chair; thinking about what had just happened, about her child and her beloved Cornictacus. She was startled when letters started appearing on the table. Whoever was writing had to be standing close by. After reading the message she pushed back her chair and stood up. Helga searched the shop frantically. And then she saw him. Cornictacus. New tears started rolling down her cheeks. She wanted to go to him but her legs refused to move. |
