- i dare you to move* kels

[mandy]

Tying up the dark tress of curls, Mandy looked towards the wooden bedroom floor, deep in thought. Thoughts had been swarming her mind as of late, and her constant silence about them was driving her insane. It wasn’t common that Mandy would keep herself well shut, but she had good reason to. The situation at hand just wasn’t something she had ever planned on speaking of again, and it wasn’t particularly easy on her. Perhaps it was how all women reacted to situations like these, but every time Mandy reacted the same, shut herself off for awhile, then she’d drive herself up the wall for not saying anything, and finally after a while she’d speak up. Right now, she was at point of wanting to speak up, but to who?

The only person she could think of was Kelsey, the one child that had been through almost everything before the age of seventeen, but the only child who could relate to what she was going through. Kelsey would either take it well or not so well, she had the option and hopefully, if she took it well she’d be able to comfort Mandy and stop her from breaking down for the fifth time that day.

How the hell could she go through all that again? It was only now that Mandy felt that everything was becoming a lot easier. Anton had graduated and moved out, Kelsey had gotten married, moved out and fell pregnant, and Vince was growing up quickly, possibly becoming the most mature for his age. Then there was her marriage, one that had been on a rocky path since last year, and after a much needed vacation everything just seemed right, they where happy again, she was happy.

Sliding on a pair of jeans and pulling a white tank top over her head, Mandy grabbed her handbag and moved downstairs. Pushing the shades over her eyes, she stepped into the fireplace and grabbed the floo powder. It was unusual for her to use the floo system but due to her current condition, she either had the option to use the floo or walk and there was no well in hell she was walking to Kelsey’s house.

The flames engulfed around her body and the nasuea washed over her again as she appeared in Kelsey’s fireplace. Clasping a hand around her mouth she stood still for a moment, not wanting to move in case it would trigger anything, which would possibly leave her lying on the bathroom floor.

After a few moment, Mandy took a step out of the fireplace, “Kelsey?” She called out, hoping she’d be home from school. That had been the arrangement she made with Robert after all.

[Kelsey Rachel LeBlanc]

Life had never been easy on Kelsey. It seemed to downright hate her at times. The past March had been a living hell for Kelsey. She had been through something that no girl in their entire life should have to deal with. She was raped, multiple times, and was used as a sex slave. All of this had been done by none other than Jack Riddle. She felt so used and violated. She thought that she would never escape that bloody vault. However, her father came to rescue her. She never felt so much love for him as she did when she saw that he had came for her. Together they left that vault and Kelsey's nightmare.

It had taken her months to get over what happened but now she was back to her old self. She actually had so many good things going on in her life. It seemed that when she started taking more risks, her life got better. All her life, Kelsey was not much of a risk taker. She would play by the rules and never dare to break them. She used to think that if she followed the rules, maybe just maybe, her parents would love her again. However, as she grew older, she found out that that was not how it worked. It seemed to be that no matter how much she behaved that they would always treat her the same way. Funny, it was only when she started to defy the rules around her that her parents started to love her again. The only real major risk Kelsey took in her life was marrying James. That moment there was when she finally stepped out of her comfort zone and did something she would not normally do. That event right there sent Kelsey into a series of unusual events for her. She started to party, which she would never do, and drink excessively, which she used to be against. Now, here she was, seventeen and pregnant. That was not part of her plan. She used to be against teen pregnancy just a year before and now here she was, pregnant herself. She had changed, a lot. Kelsey sometimes missed the old her. The carefree Kelsey was missing from her. Right now she needed that side more than anything in the world. She needed that side to show her that having these babies would be a good thing for her. Sadly though, she had lost that side to her and didn't know if it would ever come back.

This whole being pregnant lately had gotten Kelsey pretty emotional. She seemed to cry a lot and over nothing really. Her body seemed to be getting larger and larger and there was nothing she could do to stop it. With these new found emotions Kelsey was beginning to have a lot of regrets which were beginning to bother her. There was one regret she had that was bothering her immensely. It was a secret she kept from James, a really big secret. She knew she had to tell him before he found out some other way, but she didn't know how to tell him. Why did life have to be so hard on the seventeen year old?

For the first time in her life, Kelsey hated being at Hogwarts. When she used to fight with her parents, she couldn't wait to escape to the magical castle where all of her family problems seemed to disappear. Now that she had reconnected with her parents and married James, she felt as though the castle was some sort of prison to her. Here she was, confined to the castle walls when all she wanted to do was be at her house with her husband or at her parent's house. Luckily though she got to go home after all of her classes were done. That was the deal she made with her father upon her return to school. She would use his floo network at the end of every day and go home to James.

As her last class of the day ended, the Ravenclaw girl felt a wave of relief wash over her. Yet another day of school was out of the way and she was one step closer to graduation. Kelsey rose from her seat at the desk and made her way out of the classroom, saying goodbye to some friends she passed. She felt her whole body tense with excitement as she thought of going home to James again. She practically ran to her father's office to leave. Knowing her father was probably off somewhere doing Merlin knows what, the red head opened the office door and headed straight for the floo network. Grabbing a handful of the floo powder, Kelsey muttered her house address and vanished behind the cloak of green flames, seeing her house appear before her eyes.

"James?" Kelsey called out with a big smile, exiting the fireplace and looking around. She placed her bag down on the couch and headed upstairs to see if James was there. After calling his name a few more times, she concluded that he was not home and sat on her bed, looking at the floor. This was the fourth day in a row that Kelsey came home from school to an empty house. Each day she would be homes for hours until James would finally arrive, claiming that he had extra practices. Kelsey knew that his quidditch career was important but she couldn't help but feel depressed to come home everyday to an empty house. Being so emotional, everything was finally piling up and Kelsey began to cry. Tears poured from her eyes as she sat on the bed, alone in the house.

The broken hearted girl's tears, however, stopped when she heard a familiar voice from downstairs. Wiping her eyes, Kelsey braced herself on the bed and stood up, placing a hand on her clearly noticeable pregnant stomach and walked downstairs. Once she arrived in the living room her eyes landed upon her mother and a small smile escaped her lips. "Hey Mum," Kelsey said with a smile, her eyes red and puffy, clearly showing that she was crying. "What brings you here?" Kelsey asked as she waddled her way over to the couch and took a seat, putting her swollen ankles on the coffee table before her.

Actually deciding that she wanted to talk was a big step for Mandy, especially talk to Kelsey, the daughter who found it hard to keep the majority of things kept quiet. After all, it was Kelsey who had spilled the beans on Robert’s affair, and how he managed to get a student into bed, but the more she thought about it, the more Mandy began to reassure herself, thinking that she just had that natural talent of forcing Kelsey to tell the truth. Damn, she hoped so. Mandy wanted to trust Kelsey, she just needed to talk and, the situation at hand wasn’t something particularly easy to bring up in conversation.

Mandy was confused with all these feelings washing over her, she’d been dealing with these feelings for three weeks now, and finally she was feeling like she needed to express herself. Surprisingly, she was opening up a lot quicker than she usually did. When she discovered she was pregnant with Anton, it took her a whole month to build up the courage to even mention it to Robert, which actually left him rather pissed for being kept in the dark. She didn’t even tell him she was pregnant with Kelsey, after he saw the seven empty pregnancy boxes, it immediately dawned on him. Finally when she fell pregnant with Vince, she sent an owl to Robert explaining that she had just found out she was pregnant, when actually she had known for three weeks. So yes, Mandy wasn’t incredibly great when it came to announcing pregnancies and what not.

She felt sick, tired and slightly nervous. Yes, Mandy was pretty nervous, even at the thought of telling Kelsey made her heart drop to her stomach. She hadn’t even considered telling Robert, Anton or Vince yet. All she wanted to do was get it over and done with, hope that Kelsey would take it well and maybe, if she was lucky, she might go and tell Robert herself and save Mandy the bother. She’d sure as hell be able to stick an argument with her husband, but she wasn’t so sure she’d be able to hang around and watch his reaction to the news.

Hearing the footsteps from upstairs, Mandy’s heart began to pace and she turned towards the fireplace again, she could make a quick escape, leave and make up some excuse that she thought no one was home. Tapping her heel against the floor, she debated with herself before she realized it was too late. The footsteps coming down the stairs caused Mandy’s body to turn towards the entrance of the living room only to reveal her daughter, Kelsey.

Mandy waited a moment, she stood there in silence staring at Kelsey, not being able to find her voice to speak. Her hazel eyes moved towards Kelsey’s pregnant stomach and immediately Mandy looked down at her own flat stomach with a frown. No body had any idea how long it had taken Mandy to lose all her post-pregnancy weight and get her body back into shape, now she was going to pile on the pounds and get fat. The last thing she wanted was to get fat, or pregnant for that matter. When she got her hands on Robert she was going strangle the living daylights out of him, that bastard.

“I…” Mandy began, bringing her eyes back up to meet Kelsey’s, she noticed how red and puffy they where, “Are you alright love?” She managed to ask following her daughter towards the couch and took a seat, syncing her actions and placing her feet on to the coffee table. With a small sigh, she closed her eyes and tried to relax, even in the slightest, “I came here because I’m pregnant and have no idea what do to.” Did that feel any better? No, Mandy still felt like shit and kept her eyes closed.

[Kelsey Rachel LeBlanc]

How did Kelsey end up like this? When she was younger it would have been her absolute nightmare to be pregnant at seventeen. The younger Kelsey didn't even want to be married before she was twenty five. Somewhere along the way, she ended up ditching all of her old beliefs and fell in love. Love, that was the thing that changed her. It was the thing that made her go insane like she is now. She never knew that she could feel so strongly for one person. If something ever happened to James, Kelsey didn't know what she would do. Was it healthy to be that attached to one person?

Kelsey knew that something was wrong with her mother. In all of the years that she knew her mother, it was very unusual for her to be so quite. It looked as though there was something on her mind, something huge. What possibly could have her mother so worked up? Did her father do something? Was her cheating again? She sure hoped not or she would sure as hell give her father a piece of her mind. What if it was her mother that was leaving the family and never coming back? Oh Mandy had better tell Kelsey soon or she would just start jumping to all sorts of weird and crazy conclusions.

As Kelsey sat there, looking at her mother, it finally made her realize just how far they had come in the span of a year. If this was this time last year, Mandy and Kelsey would be at each other's throats right about now. Mandy would have never came to visit her only daughter unless forced and Kelsey would have probably cursed her as soon as she walked into the room. Now here they were, as close as they had ever been, and for the first time not fighting. It made Kelsey feel so happy that she was able to achieve this with her mother. She once thought of herself as without a mother and now she knew she would not be able to live without the one person she once hated in her life.

Mandy had noticed Kelsey's red eyes, which was no surprise to the Ravenclaw. You would be able to see those red eyes from space. Sighing, Kelsey just gave her mother a simple look. "I just came home and James wasn't here again. It got me really depressed I guess. Nothing really to worry about," Kelsey said, placing a weak smile on her fragile face. She didn't really want her mother to worry about her since it was obvious that she had more important things on her mind. Was Mandy ever going to tell her what was going on?

When her mother finally did tell her, Kelsey sat there frozen, not knowing what to say. This was such a shock to her. Her own mother, pregnant at the same time as her. This was just so weird and shocking. Kelsey felt her mouth open slightly, trying to find something to say but no sounds coming out. How exactly was she suppose to respond to this? Should she be happy or sad or angry or jealous? "Y..You're pregnant? Wow.." Kelsey finally managed to say, looking at her mother with a stunned expression. Really, how was Kelsey suppose to react? She placed a hand on her stomach and looked down at it, then looked back at her mother. "How far along are you? Did you tell dad yet? How long have you known? Are you the least bit happy about this?" Kelsey asked, all of her questions coming out at once. There was one other question that was pounding her brain, was her mother going to keep the child? Kelsey saw no reason why she shouldn't keep it, but maybe her mother just didn't want any more children, even if she was only in her late thirties. "Are you..erm.. going to keep the baby?" Kelsey finally asked, looking at her mother. Sure, Kelsey could see it as understandable for a girl in her teens to get an abortion but for a woman of her mother's age just didn't seem right to do that. She was perfectly capable of raising they child after all.

Mandy’s hazel eyes flickered towards Kelsey, waiting for her daughter to reveal the reason of why she was so upset. Even though she had other things to worry about, Mandy was always willing to put Kelsey’s problems first before her own. Nothing else really mattered more to her than the happiness of her children, and by the looks of it, Kelsey certainly hadn’t been happy. She looked as happy as Mandy felt. No one could possibly imagine how down in the dumps Mandy was feelings today, or for the last twenty-one days or something like that, but her mood hadn’t lighten at all.

Rubbing Kelsey’s arm, attempting to be of some comfort. Mandy knew the feeling, she experienced it first hand. With Robert working at Hogwarts, it was very rare that she’d arrive home to see him visit, and although Mandy accepted the requirements of Rob being the headmaster, but she also reminded him of his requirements and duties as a husband. Hell, she already felt like a widow when he wasn’t around, and he wasn’t even six feet under yet. But as of late, Mandy was pretty sure the tables where going to turn and she’d be seeing a lot more of her husband. “I know how you feel love,” She finally spoke, fighting the frown that fought to crawl onto her lips.

Finally opening her eyes, she tilted her head and stared at Kelsey. It wasn’t Kelsey, Vince or Anton’s reactions she was worried about, they didn’t need to be concerned seeing as Kelsey no longer lived at the manor, nor did Anton, and Mandy was pretty sure it wouldn’t take Vince too long to follow in pursuit. But no matter what, her children mattered, their opinions mattered to her and that was why she was pushing herself to great measures by coming here today and actually telling Kelsey first, after all, she especially should be able to understand the situation, or Mandy hoped that was the case.

The questions where being fired at her all at once, and the questions weren’t particularly easy to answer, “I’m six weeks on Monday.” Mandy took her time to answer, as if thinking of a suitable response, when really it was at the tip of her tongue, problem was, her mouth just wouldn’t open. Her eyes wandered and she found herself staring a manicured nails silently, had she told Robert? “Actually, I haven’t told your father, I was planning on telling him next…or maybe last. I’m still debating.” Oh damn, she couldn’t hold back on the small smile, it was so typical of her to want to keep Rob to last, after all she wanted to keep him alive for a little while longer and by telling him wasn’t going to make his health any better. “And I’ve known for three weeks.” Yeah, talk about secrecy.

Kelsey’s two final questions remained the most difficult to answer. Was she happy? And was she going to keep the baby? Only a parent could truly understand the hassle a child brought, it meant you wake up at two in the morning just to feed it, you have to watch it twenty-four seven, you had to change smelly nappies and its cries can continue for hours without end. Who could possibly be happy about that? Not to mention throughout the whole pregnancy, you usually find yourself in constant pain, whether it’s sore ankles, bad back pains or just watching yourself get continuously fat and not having any control over it. The very thought caused Mandy’s stomach to churn. This certainly wasn’t what she needed. She was so sure that all the hassle of caring for children was over, that she could just sit back and enjoy being a grandparent, but no, nothing ever went down the way Mandy wanted it to. She must’ve been a real bitch in her past-life. “I’ve had three, very long weeks to think about it, to get used to the idea, but I can’t. I can’t be happy about it because I haven’t adjusted to it.” With a small sigh, she closed her eyes once again before answering the final question, “That’s the question that’s been constantly on my mind. Will I keep it? Right now, I could have an abortion and not tell your father, but I don’t have the heart to do that. However, I still have the option of putting it up for adoption if I don’t want it and right now, I haven’t stroked that out. I just…I‘m scared.” What was it with this family? They where all just a bunch of crazies.

[Kelsey Rachel LeBlanc]

Kelsey had been doing a lot of things she wouldn't normally do lately. The once truthful girl was now lying to everyone a lot. She was spiraling into a lying frenzy that she did not want to be a part of, but couldn't stop it. She was even lying to her husband at this point. He would leave early in the morning and she would not go to school, and then when he came home asking about her day she would lie and make up some story about her being at school, when in reality she spent the day lying in bed doing nothing.

This school year a lot had changed. James was no longer there with her, a lot of her older friends had left, she was pregnant, and now she was totally vulnerable. Also, to make matters worst, she was a subject to bullying and for no reason. Gangs of girls would corner her in the hallways and make fun of her for various reasons. Their main target was the fact that she was pregnant and getting very fat. At least last year James was there to make people stop bulling her if they ever tried to but now he wasn't there, and she was vulnerable to all of the attacks of cruel verbal behavior.

"Does it ever get simpler mom? I am tired of being alone all of the time," Kelsey sighed, looking at her mother with helpless eyes. She was constantly being depressed because of the loneliness she was experiencing in her life. The Ravenclaw knew her mother knew what it felt like to be lonely like she was. Her father had spent most of their marriage away after all. She would possibly be able to give the red head some advice on how to deal with all of the loneliness she was experiencing.

Kelsey simply sat there and listened to her mother as she answered all of the questions. She couldn't help but feel like she had something in common with her mother and feel like she could finally relate to the woman who raised her. A lot of the things Mandy said were things that Kelsey did. She herself had waited three weeks before finally telling anyone, except for Anton who already knew before then. She waited as long as possible to tell James and even contemplated of whether or not to tell him. And she herself was not yet used to the idea of being a mother nor happy about it. Adoption was constantly on her mind, even if she didn't tell anyone.

"Six weeks? Wow, thats.. wow. Hopefully you don't have twins too," Kelsey said, chuckling a little bit. It would be really funny if Mandy herself was also pregnant with twins. "I personally think you should just tell dad when you go into labor. Like owl him and say that you are going into labor. I'm sure you can avoid seeing him for nine months," Kelsey chuckled, a small smile appearing on her lips. Of coarse she was only joking and her mother should tell her father as soon as possible. It would be hell of a lot funny though if they didn't tell Robert. He would probably drop dead of a heart attack or something along those lines.

"Mom, I've had over five months to get used to being a mom and I still haven't. I am still not happy about it, even though I may act like it at times," Kelsey said, sighing and looking at her mother. She always told James that she was beyond happy about being pregnant when in reality she was dreading the day that she would bring the twins into the world. Adoption was always on her mind also. She wondered if the twins were better off in this world being with people who would be better at taking care of them. "Being pregnant always makes people scared. Hell, I am still contemplating on adoption. I'm not ready to be a mother and I often wonder if the twins would be better off in a different family," Kelsey started, looking at the ground. She rose her eyes to meet her mother and put on a soft smile, to help calm the stressed and scared woman. "But mom, just remember. You managed to raise three perfectly fine children. I mean look at us, we are all healthy and alive. Another one won't kill you. It might be a miracle in disguise for you," Kelsey smiled, her grin lighting up her face. She knew her mother had it in her to raise another child. It could be her chance to fix all the wrongs she did when raising the first three.
