Astoria rocked on the balls of her feet, absently rubbing the thin fabric of the living room curtains between her fingers as she looked out the window. Scorpius had said he'd pick her up, but he hadn't actually asked where she lived. Perhaps she should have mentioned.
There was a hollow place in her stomach where her fears usually lived. The events of the night before had left Story numb with shock, falling back on empty pleasantries as she tried to absorb what had happened.
Children. With Draco! Her heart gave a tentative flutter at the thought, but her mouth felt as dry as her eyes hadn't been since yesterday afternoon. Cressida had been so impossibly real, stronger and more beautiful than anything Astoria could have dreamed up, let alone created. And she'd felt such an unusual and immediate warmth towards Scorpius, even when he was nothing but script on a page... Would she fall apart when she saw him, as she had with her daughter?
Her tired eyes roved up and down the street once more, anxiety tightening her throat. What if she couldn't be the mother he remembered? What if she was too far removed from the right time for him, too?
