Lavender felt herself still just at the sight of him standing there. How long had it been since she'd seen him last? Too long. For a moment she just drank him in, taking in his familiar features, trying to figure out if he'd changed in the last couple months. She knew she had. As if to emphasize that point, the baby gave a strong kick, and Lavender dropped one hand to the large curve of her belly as she met Seamus' eyes, feeling her nerves return.
"Hi." Her mouth went dry and she licked her lips, swallowing hard as she tried to find the words. "I'm- I'm back." Right because that wasn't incredibly obvious, Lavender. Merlin. Drawing in a deep breath, she pushed the words out, "I'm so sorry I left, Shay. I really am. I just panicked and I was scared and I didn't know what to do so I took off, but it was wrong and I should have told you..." Her gaze dropped down to the ground and then back up at him. "Do you hate me?"
