This Was A Mistake | Mattheo Riddle X Reader

chapter 45

I didn't know how to feel. I'm gonna be...a dad?

I couldn't help but smile at Maya. I stood her up and kissed her again. I picked her up by her waist, spun her around, and kissed her once more. "I'm gonna be a dad!" I smiled.

"I didn't think you'd want to keep it." She said surprised. "I mean, it is mine.." I smirked. "Do you want to keep it?" I asked, getting a better look at her.

"I do, but, I don't know how to be a mother. I never thought I'd get knocked up and still be in school.." She sighed. I never thought I'd knock someone up while in school either.

"Schools gonna be over very soon, so?" I said trying to ease the conversation.

"My parents don't know yet." She quietly gasped. I forgot about that for a second. This wasn't going to end well.

"About that, Maya.." I held both her hands and sat her back down.

"What?" She smiled, confused.

"You're parents..they um..." I looked down. I didn't know if I could do this. I wanted to throw up again. Thinking about it, having to tell her...

"They?.." She shook her head, still confused.

"I can't do this. I need to go." I rushed to her bathroom and was back on my knees, ready to throw up.

I threw up again. I felt my throat closing up, I couldn't breathe, I was getting all nervous. I was having a panic attack.

"Mattheo. It's okay. Just breathe, breathe. In and out. It's gonna be okay." Her hands were on my shoulders and she was guiding me.

"They..he-" I stuttered.

"He killed them. In-in front of me." I quickly wiped my tears. "I'm so sorry, Maya. I never meant for this to happen. I didn't know-" I finally looked up at her.

She was frozen, paralyzed. Her face went pale very quick. I couldn't read her expression at all. I know this hurt her.

"Your...he killed them?" her voice cracked. I nodded, all I wanted to do was hug her.

Tears slowly filled her eyes, soon falling down her cheeks, one by one. I softly pulled her into my chest and let her cry.

Her cry's were quiet. They were usually different, this was a different pain for her. One I didn't understand very well.

——————

Maya
I couldn't believe it. They were really dead. He really killed them.

Why was I sad? They've treated me like utter shit my whole entire life? They were the reason I had to be away from Theo for months.

Of course I hated them for what they did, it didn't mean that I didn't care. I didn't have enough hatred in my heart for them, I don't know why this hurt so much.

They died not knowing there daughter was pregnant with the son of their worst enemy.

"I just wanna stay in bed. I'll get over it." I hid my face into my pillow. "I'll stay with you tonight, if you want me to." He gently stroked my hair.

"I wanna be alone." I said, my voice slightly cracking. "I love you." He said softly.

Mattheo
I wanted to do the right thing.

Before I went back to the manor, I needed to catch Potter. He was spotted in Hogsmeade a few days ago, meaning he was definitely hiding in the school waiting to strike.

I could barely find anyone, I hadn't seen one Gryffindor.

I walked to the last place they would be hiding. The room of requirement.

I don't even know how this would work on me considering I'm a death eater. I wouldn't be let in.

I waited, and to my surprise, there was a door for me to go through.

I opened it and saw all the students sleeping on sleeping bags. I looked around for Potter and couldn't see him.

Suddenly, a hand covered my mouth and pushed me up against the wall. It was him.

"You have five seconds to tell me what the hell you're doing here or I'm killing you." His wand was held up to my throat. He slowly took his hand off my mouth.

"I'm here to warn you." I whisper shouted. "Elaborate." his wand dug harder into my skin. I've felt worse pain, but from a Gryffindor? I feel pathetic. I couldn't do anything about this right now.

"They're looking for you. And they're very close. You need to strike." I said looking him straight in the eyes.

"And how am I supposed to trust the son of Voldemort?" his arm pressed harder against my chest on the wall.

As disrespected as I should feel that he said my fathers name, I wasn't. I didn't care anymore.

"I don't know. I'm trying to be good. For Maya. I'm on your side." My jaw clenched. Of course he wouldn't believe me.

"Why? Why now?" He said defensively.

"Ever since we became a thing, I've been wanting to change. I'm not going into detail, you don't deserve that." I almost spat at him.

"I know you're close to having all the Horcruxes. He knows." I added.

"You need to leave." He slowly came off of me but kept his wand aimed towards me. I'm surprised nobody sleeping heard us.

After that, I left.
