But...No...I can't be.

[Noemi Costello]

Noemi was pale, she couldn't believe the news. Sure she had been a bit off lately but she never thought that this would happen. She wasn't sure she could face her brother and sister. She could see them through the glass doors. She knew how dissapointed Robyn would be, Mitchell would probably kill Ryan and then her.

Noemi wiped the tears from her eyes with her sleeve and took a deep breath. She walked outside and sat on the wall where Robyn was and Mitchell was leaning. "Hey guys." She really didn't want this to happen, not now. She was practically starting her life, now it would end. In her eyes anyway.

 

[Robyn Whitlock]

Robyn sat on the wall outside the hospital and waited for Noemi to come out. For the past three weeks or so she had been feeling ill and, at some points, even chucking up. Robyn had stood up, contacted Mitchell, and gotten her to go to the doctors for a check up. Her and Mitchell didn't really see eye to eye about most things, him wanting to exterminate all un pure blood in the world and all, but when it came to Noemi they both took care and got along. Sure they had loads of other siblings but Noemi was the youngest girl and was considered their baby sister.

Robyn looked up as Noemi walked out and sat next to them. She could see the tear stained face and pale cheeks that gave away that it was bad news. She waited for Mitchell to ask what was wrong, he was usually blunt and to the point about things. Robyn was usually the good guy, the person Noemi went to about her personal problems, and Mitchell was the bad guy, the one she went to when someone needed beating up. It was an odd family but it worked. The three of them were closer to each other than the rest of the family. It was obvious why, Robyn and Noemi being the only two girls and Mitchell being the big brother. He was even protective of her in the beginning but not so much she had a husband who did it for her.

 

[Mitchell Costello]

Mitchell walked along the street and saw Robyn outside the hospital. He never got along great with Robyn but they both protected Noemi so they had to work together at some points. He was never perfectly happy about having to work with her but it was a necessary thing and he put up with it. At least she'd had the decency to contact him about Noemi going into the hospital. He was starting to get worried about his littlest sister. She hadn't been looking great for a while now.

Mitchell kept pacing up and down, every now and then looking up to the hospital doors. He couldn't stay still, anxious to find out what was wrong with Mimi. When he saw her walk out of the doors with a tear stained face and red eyes, he walked over to her and put an arm around her. "Mimi, what's wrong?? What happened??" He didn't want to be too pressurising on her but he wanted to know what was wrong with her.

 

[Noemi Costello]

Noemi looked up at her big brother. She knew he'd be more than annoyed, it was fact he would want to beat the sh!t out of Ryan and, most likely, her afterwards. "I, uh, I." She cringed. Saying it would only make it really real and she didn't want that. That couldn't happen, this wasn't happening. It was obviously some horrible nightmare that she would wake up from.

Noemi sighed, she had pinched herself and not woken up. She took a deep breath, she had to say it at some point and the silence was killing her. "I'mpregnant." She said, really fast. It didn't feel better to say it either. She was pregnant and there was nothing she could do about it. She couldn't get rid of it, her parents would kill her, they were strongly against that sort of thing and Robyn wouldn't hide this from them.

 

[Robyn Whitlock]

As predicted, Robyn listened to Mitch ask all the required questions and sat through the silence. Sure, the silence was unbearable, but having children taught you to master patience and Mimi would say it at her own pace. When she did Robyn gasped. Of course she understood fast talk, she was a girl after all.

"For the love of Merlins stripy pants! I was not expecting that!" Robyn put her arm around Noemis shoulders and gave her a reassuring squeeze. Even Robyn knew that Mitchell would freak at this news, he wasn't the most supporting person in the world when it came to bad news. That's why Noemi had come to her when she found out the man she liked was about to get married. Robyn suspected that this Ryan person was the father but she wouldn't tell Mitchell. If Noemi liked him then there was no point in getting him killed, even if he was married.

 

[Mitchell Costello]

Mitchell waited in silence while Noemi tried to tell them what was wrong. He didn't like being patient but it had to be done. He was at least going to try and be supportive for once. It was what big brothers were meant to do. Even if he did fail completely at it. Didn't mean he couldn't try once in a while.

Mitch felt his muscles tense when Noemi said what she needed to. He could feel anger rising from the pit of his stomach. Someone had gotten his baby sister pregnant. "What?! Who did this to you?! Where is he?! I'll make sure he never gets any other girl pregnant ever again!! He's going to lose what he holds closest to him and I don't care what it takes!!" He didn't care about the eyes that turned in his direction. Mitch was going to protect his sister no matter what happened.

 

[Noemi Costello]

Noemi flinched when Mitchell started yelling. She hated when he was like this. The brunette shoved her head into Robyns shoulder, failing to hold back the tears that were forming. Even now she didn't want to give Ryan up. She still liked him, even if he was married and a cheater. It wasn't her choice it just happened.

Noemi waited for Robyn to give him up. She knew that Robyn dissaproved of the sound of Ryan, she just didn't know if she would give him up to Mitchell or not. She hugged her sister tightly and sobbed into her shoulder, still not even daring to look at her brother the way he was. She hadn't seen him this angry before and, for the first time, he actually scared her.

 

[Robyn Whitlock]

Robyn hugged her sister close to her and glared at her brother. "Shut up Mitchell. " She hadn't spoked to her older brother like this before ever but when Noemi was sobbing in her arms she wouldn't let Mitchell make things worse for the girl. She was obviously traumatized about her situation already.

"She's already scared enough as it is she doesn't need you yelling and cursing as well." Robyn could stand up for herself but she was much better standing up for someone else, especially Mimi. Robyn stroked Mimi's hair and made shushing noises. Mitchell really couldn't handle a situation like this.

 

[Mitchell Costello]

Mitchell was frustrated by the reactions of his sisters. He hated the man who had done this and he was going to make sure he paid for his mistake. "I'm not going to shut up. That bloke has knocked her up and I'm going to get him back for it so who and where is he??" Mitchell wanted this piece of information more than anything. It wasn't like him to not go by his word and his word at the moment was to get revenge for what had been forced upon his sister. "I know that she tells you everything, Robyn, so spill. I need the information that you most definitely have." Mitchell wished Mimi wasn't crying so much. He hated seeing her cry like this. It hurt him as well as her.

 

[Noemi Costello]

Noemi looked up at her brother. The fear left and was replaced with anger. He wanted to hurt Ryan. Noemi pulled away from her sister and stood up. Sure, she wasn't nearly as tall as him and, sure, Mitchell was a lot stronger than her, but Noemi didn't care. "Mitchell Brodie Costello you will back the f**k of right now!" Noemi ended almost screaming at her brother.

Noemi was breathing heavily and tears were still running down her face. "I won't tell you who and neither will Robyn. Believe it or not I actually like this guy and if you so much as touch him I will hate you forever!" Noemi was screaming by this point. She had had enough of this whole day and nothing would fix it by now. She stormed off, apparating at the end of the road so neither of them could follow her.

 

[Robyn Whitlock]

Robyn watched as her sister stormed away from them in tears. she stood, also shorter than Mitchell himself, and glared. "And that's why I said to stop." She sighed and paced in front of him. "Do you not have a sensitive bone in your body? I mean." She stopped pacing and looked up at her brother. This was one of the reasons she didn't get along with him, aside the blood issues. "She's just found out her teenage life has effectively ended and you start yelling about how you're going to kill the only guy she likes at the moment."

 

[Mitchell Costello]

Mitchell felt his stomach tighten when Noemi started yelling at him. Robyn had yelled at him plenty of times but never Noemi. She was the best friend who was always with him and never fought with him. He was shocked by what she did and it took him off guard.

Mitch watched as Noemi walked off and kept watching in that direction when she turned the corner. He heard every word Robyn said to him but he wasn't paying much attention. "If she likes him so much then why's he being such a d!ck and getting her pregnant?? I can't help that she's chosen an @rse to sleep with."

 

[Robyn Whitlock]

Robyn laughed cynically. "I don't think it's being a d!ck that was his problem. " She scoffed. She knew at some point Noemi would be back at hers for a break down. Noemi had a system, she would go out and flirt and f**k and then come crying to Robyn for advice and comfort. It was the tradition and she doubted this would be any different.

"Look, I'm leaving now, and don't even bother trying to get his name from me. I'm with Noemi the whole way even if that means against you." She made sure she was understood before turning and apparating back home.
