mrgprewett:

I’m not saying you have changed, or that you’re anything less than the kind and honest and loving person you’ve always been. I don’t want you thinking I think any of that. It’s just so difficult because I haven’t felt like a priority for you in ages. And when I saw that aloud it’s ridiculous and dumb but I think it’s what kept me away.

I talked to Frank.

I think what it was is that both of us were under that same thought. Life gets busy, people focus on things that aren’t important more over than another and those people and things that should hold precedence sometimes slip back. I won’t lie to you, Gid. It’s been a chaotic few months for me, and it hasn’t been easy. Usually I’m good at balancing, but as I’m sure you’ve heard, I.. I’m truly sorry you ever felt that way for even a moment. Don’t doubt the love I have for you, as it won’t ever change. Ever. I’m too selfish to let you go or give you reason. 

-- How did that go?

orderofthepotter:

I suppose congratulations are in order.

So I’ve heard, Mr. Potter. 

[aalicelongbottom]

mrspotterbitch:

I– Well, no. It came as a bit of a surprise, to tell you the truth, and it’s one the both of us are still… trying to wrap our heads around, really. I wake up every day, and try to prod myself and think about it, about whether I’m ready to be a mum. And all that really comes is the urge to hide behind my pillow, and have something of an existential crisis. It’s quite the process. Let’s not fret about that, though. So this was the reason for the impromptu party? Alice Longbottom, you sly thing. That baby of yours is going to be a very lucky one.

It’s a big one. But if I know anything, I know you and him will end up being the set of parents that Frank and I will strive to emulate. Cool, easy going and full of... I’d say love, but that’s too obvious. If anyone was set to be a mum, it’s the two of us, and think of it this way, you have someone to run to if need be. I’ve got you. It was either that or letting everyone find out through the grapevine. Doc already knows, and he’s about subtle as a hex with trying to play it off as if he doesn’t. Yes, they both will be. Come, let’s sneak a sip of wine before the men steal us always.

caradocdearborned:

I had him first.

So you're the one I have to thank. 

[aalicelongbottom]

caradocdearborned:

Please, Frank wouldn’t care what you did as long as you were doing what you wanted.

You know my husband well. 

[aalicelongbottom]

mrspotterbitch:

I’m so, so very happy for you, Alice. Really. Were you and Frank trying to get pregnant?

I know, and I love you for that. Or rather one of the many reasons. We were. It happened a bit sooner than either of us thought, but we’re here. No going back now. The same for you and James?

Holy Helga. James is going to be a father. 

[aalicelongbottom]

caradocdearborned:

I think we’ll stick with coffee. What will you be drinking tonight?

Tea. I can’t be sloshed if I’m to host a proper dinner. Can you imagine the look on Frank’s face? A cross between laughter and horror. 

[aalicelongbottom]

mrspotterbitch:

Pregnant.

You have no idea how hard it’s been to not run down the alleyways just shouting it out to everyone. 

I have everything I’ve ever wanted. It’s surreal. 

[aalicelongbottom]

mrspotterbitch:

I don’t think I could even begin to talk about how many tubs of ice-cream I have gone through in the last week, really. Not without feeling a lethal amount of shame, at least. And I find myself craving pickles. All the time. I wish I was exaggera– Did you just– You may know it–? Alice. 

Are you—? You are, aren’t you?

I’m to the point I worry about eating Frank and I out of house and home. Shame has no place when it comes to ice cream. Especially if it’s adding to the glow. Not together I hope, that sounds terribly.. You know, that doesn’t actually sound all that bad. Who have I become? 

Yes. Yes I am. That’s sort of what tonight is all about, to tell everyone. Now go on, spill. I’m two seconds away from jumping up and down, but I’m restraining myself. Don’t make me wait a moment more!

mrspotterbitch:

Honestly, Alice, I keep telling you that it isn’t too late just yet. Say the word, and we can make a run for it and make that dream come true. I- er, it’s a secret that might not be the regimen you’re expecting, I warn you. But yes, I’m ready to pick like a hen right now. I’d love that. I’m having the strangest cravings these days.

Stop tempting me. I’d go right now if it wasn’t for the fact that James would hunt me down, and I’ve had enough of that to last a lifetime.. Oh. I think I may know it. 

You too? I haven’t been able to look at marmalade without spooning it straight from the jar. 

[aalicelongbottom]

caradocdearborned:

Hi, Al.

You look great.

Thank you. It’s a wonder what a good bar of soap can achieve. 

Come, lets get you something to drink. Wine or coffee? I could, I suppose, offer you a fizzy drink. 

[aalicelongbottom]

mrspotterbitch:

Because you’ve known me entirely too long? You look really lovely, and something smells delicious. Everything, probably.

This is true. To think we didn’t end up as old maids.. Thank you, but look at yourself. You’re glowing, and I demand to know your secret. Want to come pick with me? I’ve not been able to stop, I think I snuck more than I plated.

orderofthepotter:

‘M always punctual if food’s involved.

Thankfully so. I don’t think I’d be quite the same if you hadn’t shown up.

hestiajonesing:

Wh— really?

[aalicelongbottom]

hestiajonesing:

You’ve completely lost me.

I’m pregnant. 

Pears if you have them, thank you.
