[ASPEN ZORRA MALFOY]

sunday -- outfit

Everything in Aspen's life seemed to be going just fine to her; she had an amazing boyfriend who loved her for everything that she was, her family was happy and healthy, and most importantly, Viktor got along with everyone in Aspen's family. It was a Sunday morning that Aspen had woken up next to her favorite stuffed animal; a bright pink teddy bear that Viktor had given to her on their one year anniversary. The blond haired female was so ecstatic with her life and how everything was going that as soon as she had woken up, she had rushed to shower and dress. Today, she was going to be meeting up with Viktor to find out the sex of their baby. No one had know that Aspen was even pregnant, simply because she had always vowed that she wasn't going to be deflowered until the night of her wedding. Aspen had promised herself that she wasn't going to do such a sinful act such as sleeping with a guy before she was married, regardless of how others had felt of the situation. Of course, Aspen had her own beliefs, others their own, but Aspen didn't judge anyone about how they lived their lives, so she always demanded the same amount of respect. Thankfully, most people obliged to the request and Aspen was able to stop having to explain herself and why she felt the way that she had about the entire sex situation.

What Aspen didn't realize was that one evening when she and Viktor had gotten drunk, the pair had gotten engaged and married within the same hour. That night, the newly married couple had consummated their marriage and Aspen Malfoy had become the new Mrs. Viktor Krum. Although, the catch was that they had both been drinking the night before in a muggle town, Las Vegas, where Viktor had to go for Quidditch. It was there that the pair had gotten married in a small ceremonial wedding chapel in the desert. Of course the next morning when Aspen had seen the ring on her finger and soon realized that she didn't have any clothes on, she knew immediately of what had happened. Thankfully, none of the wizarding community tabloids had said anything about the wedding, so she was safe in that department, but Aspen soon realized that she was going to have to spill the news to her family. As she moved around in the bed, Viktor moved his arm over Aspen's body and brought her closer to his own body, but was soon startled himself. He questioned Aspen as to why she had been laying naked in bed with him, considering that she never slept in the same bed as him, even with all of her clothes on. It was then that Aspen explained the events of the previous evening to Viktor, or at least what she was able to remember after thinking about it. It seemed as if he was perfectly fine with it, being married to her, but Viktor soon saw the concerned face on his wife's face and soon tried to make everything better.

After talking with Viktor in their hotel room, Aspen told him that she was going to keep the ring and still be very happy that they were married, but she explained to him that her family would be furious is they had found out anything about she and him being married without any of their blessings. Therefore, Aspen had told Viktor that as soon as they had gotten back home, he was to get full permission from Mr. Malfoy to have his daughter's hand in marriage and that they would be doing this the right way this time. Until then, of course, Aspen and Viktor would have to act like they weren't married and like they hadn't consummated it either. So once the pairing had gone back to Wiltshire, Viktor asked for Aspen's hand in marriage and the blessing from her family and everyone seemed to be excited about it all, including Mrs. Malfoy, who was in tears because one of her baby girls was going to be getting married. Aspen had been planning the wedding for awhile, making sure that everything was perfect, but not becoming a bridezilla over it all. Of course, she had help from her sister, mother, and few close female relatives. Aspen was getting more and more excited with each passing day that she and Viktor were going to be getting married in a ceremony that she would be able to remember this time.

Just as soon as all of the wedding details had been perfected, Aspen knew that her wedding day was going to come sooner than she was able to believe. A week before her wedding, almost four months to the date of her real marriage to Viktor, Aspen went for a last minute dress fitting. As soon as she had gotten there, the designer made Aspen try the dress on of course, but it didn't fit the slim figure of the woman. Confused as to why she hadn't been able to fit into her dress, Vanessa simply told the designer that maybe someone had gotten measurements wrong by mistake or something, although, the designer herself snuffed Aspen and told her that since she was going to be a bride, that she should lay off the bigger bites during the cake testing. Aspen was utterly horrified that she had gained weight this close to her wedding day and she was afraid that she wasn't going to be able to fit in her dress for the wedding. When Aspen went to go have lunch with a few of her best friends, whom she of course had asked to be in her bridal party, they joked around the entire time at lunch, making Aspen feel better about herself. They also joked that the night of the wedding was going to be the night that Aspen was going to become pregnant with Viktor's child and that it would be the cutest little baby alive.

When one of her friends had mentioned something about Aspen becoming pregnant the night of her wedding, her stomach sank. Maybe that was the reason that Aspen couldn't fit into her wedding gown anymore. Had she become pregnant on the night of her real wedding and she hadn't even known about it? Of course the blond was going to have to find out whether or not that she was pregnant. So as soon as the group of girls had eaten lunch, then done some afternoon shopping, Aspen went straight to St. Mungos for a pregnancy test. She had to be careful though, because she knew a lot of people in the wizarding community and if Aspen had been spotted going up to the maternity ward for a pregnancy test, people would start suspecting that she was pregnant and soon enough, her entire family would know what she was hiding from them. If they had found out about her quickie marriage, Aspen was going to be extremely upset about it all. So, being careful not to bump into anyone at the hospital, Aspen managed to get upstairs to the maternity ward without being noticed. About an hour later, Aspen was walking out of the hospital with the news of a Malfoy-Krum baby growing inside of her. By this time, Aspen was worried about people finding out, but she was also very excited to tell Viktor.

Once Aspen had gotten showered and dressed, she gathered the things that she was going to need for the afternoon out with her secret husband. Aspen had a quick breakfast with her mother, who was concerned that Aspen was doing to much because she looked a little flushed, but Aspen promised her mother that she was just fine and that she would take a break from planning the wedding if she felt that she had too. The two females continued their conversation over breakfast that the house elves had brought to their table; once finished, Aspen kissed and hugged her mother goodbye, then rushed to meet Viktor. Of course once she had seen him, Aspen was overly excited, like usual. She was so in love with Viktor, because they had been together since she was sixteen. Aspen felt that marrying Viktor was only the next step in their relationship, but now with a baby, she would be even more excited to be with Viktor. Aspen looked at Viktor, "I can't wait to actually really be able to wake up next to you every morning," she said to him. "Very soon, Pen," Viktor said, using his endearing pet name that he had given to her. Feeling Viktor's arm drape over her shoulders, Aspen put her arm around Viktor's waist and the power couple went on their way to a private doctor in a different country, just so that they would be able to have their own privacy with the baby.

Thrilled to know that there was only six days before she was to be married, Aspen was getting more and more anxious for it to just be the day of her wedding, so that she wouldn't have to live with her secret anymore. Though, she would be able to live with her Viktor and wake up laying next to him every morning. Though, as soon as Aspen had their child, she wasn't going to be traveling around with Viktor as much, or at least not until the baby was a little bit older. Today, Aspen and Viktor would be meeting up so that they were able to discuss where they wanted to go on their honeymoon. Of course they had already consummated a marriage between themselves, but if they didn't go on a honeymoon, everyone would begin to question why. When the pair had met up with each other, they went back and forth with a bunch of different places to vacation at, but none of them seemed to be the right one for them.That was until Viktor suggested that they go to a few of their favorite places instead of deciding on just one. Aspen thought that the idea was a wonderful one, so she agreed to it and it was soon set that the couple would be honeymooning in four different countries over the span of three weeks.

It seemed to Aspen that the days couldn't go fast enough, leading up to the day of her big and lavish wedding. This morning though, was the first time that Aspen was even able to tell that she was pregnant. She had gotten sick early on that morning and just didn't feel like she had been perfect like she had been feeling over the past few months that she had actually been pregnant. Not really wanting to move very much, Aspen sent an owl to Viktor, asking him to come over and lay with her and keep her entertained since she hadn't been feeling well. He sent her an owl back, telling her that as soon as he had been done with practice and speaking with his own parents, he would be right over to comfort his princess. It seemed like days before Viktor had actually come over to see her, but in actual time, it was only about four hours before he had gotten to Aspen. "What's wrong, Pen?" he asked her when he first laid eyes on her. "I'm just not feeling all that wonderful," she said in response to his concern. "Well, we have to get you better for the sake of the little guy. We have to keep his mum healthy so that he can grow up healthy and strong so he can take over the Quidditch world like his father."

It wasn't long after that, did Viktor have Aspen laying so comfortably in her bed that she had actually drifted off to sleep. Waking up later on that evening, Aspen had seen Viktor on the edge of her bed in a chair, his head resting on the edge of her bed. She still wasn't feeling great, but she decided that she was going to nudge Viktor awake and for once, she was going to allow him to sleep in her bed with her. The male had no problem getting up and laying next to his wife and once he had gotten into her bed, Aspen cuddled up to Viktor and closed her eyes again. Of course, Aspen was cautious to get to close to him, just in case her mother or father had walked in and wanted to see what the two had been up to. It was still weird to Aspen for children to be doing anything more than hold hands in their parents home, so Aspen never even had kissed Viktor under her parent's roof. Though, she wasn't feeling up to par, so Aspen wasn't against cuddling up to Viktor to get a little comfort from him to make her feel a little bit better. It wasn't long until Viktor had draped his arms over Aspen again, holding her close to his body and Aspen's eyes closing, bringing her to a dream world that only she would understand.

Waking up early that morning, Aspen sat up so quickly in her bed that she nearly knocked Viktor to the ground. Aspen soon screamed out in pain and clutched her stomach. It wasn't long until Mr. and Mrs. Malfoy had come running into the room, running to see what their daughter had been screaming bloody murder for. Soon enough, it was revealed that Aspen was experiencing a miscarriage of the child that she and Viktor were going to be bringing into the world. Everything was a bloody mess, quite literally, until Mr. Malfoy had apparated himself and his daughter to St. Mungos. It wasn't a place that either of them liked to be, but for the sake of his daughter's safety, Lucius managed to get a healer to take care of his daughter. A few hours later, Aspen was laying in one of the hospital beds and her family had started filing into her room. Of course, she soon asked for Viktor and for everyone else to leave them alone for a little while. Once they were alone, Viktor soon told Aspen that shew as going to be fine and that he didn't want her to be upset about losing the baby, simply because they would be able to have more in the future. It was then that Aspen told Viktor that she didn't want to be pregnant ever again and that she would rather adopt a child that needed a home. The reason being that she was petrified that something like this was going to happen to her again and she didn't want that to happen.

Knowing why Viktor had been sour with her, Aspen just wanted things to go back to normal. Besides, they had a wedding to finish planning the last minute things for, considering that the ceremony was only a few days away. Viktor told her that they would eventually talk about their future family, but that he just wanted Aspen better so that they were able to get married that weekend. Of course Aspen had been completely excited for the fact that Viktor was still going to marry her, even after she had miscarried. It seemed like everyone in her family had been shuffling in and out to visit her, just so that Aspen wasn't alone in her room; considering that the one time that she had been alone in the room while she was at the hospital, she had begun crying and it took a lot for her to be able to calm down again. It even had taken a lot of work for Viktor to get Aspen to stop crying, which had been very unusual, because it was normally with Viktor that Aspen was able to smile and stop crying the quickest with. It was almost the end of the day before the healers had come in and told Aspen that she was able to go home, but that she should be on bed rest for a few days so that her body was able to adjust to the loss of the baby.

It seemed like Aspen had been waiting for years to marry her beloved Viktor, but the past two or three days seemed to be taking the longest of all to pass by so that she was able to remarry her husband. The day seemed to unfold just wonderfully, everything seemed to be going perfectly, and Aspen looked gorgeous. She had so many compliments from her mother, bridesmaids, and soon to be relatives. Aspen was so excited to be able to walk down the aisle and not hide the fact that she was married to Viktor anymore. It seemed like so many things had been lifted off of her shoulder. She had explained everything to her family and friends at the hospital about why she had been there and about the unplanned wedding to Viktor. Her family was of course upset, but they were glad that they had planned a wedding for everyone to attend together to confirm the marriage. Once Aspen was completely dolled up and the bridal party had walked down the aisle, she knew that it was her turn to go next. Aspen took a deep break and then began the walk down the aisle to Viktor. She was so excited to be able to have her family and friends surrounding her while she dedicated her love to the man she had been with for nearly a decade.

Although, once Aspen had reached the end of the aisle and was ready to stand next to Viktor, he helped her up onto the stair that they were to stand on. While facing the priest, Aspen and Viktor had a little conversation between themselves, that no one was able to hear but themselves. "I want children of my own, Pen," he said to her. "Viktor, I don't want to chance miscarrying them again," Aspen said to him, keeping her voice hushed. "I cannot go through with this if you're not going to have my children." And that was the last thing that he said to her, before he turned around and walked out. Everyone was obviously shocked at what was going on, but Aspen herself had already started with the water works. The young woman soon, so embarrassed, turned and ran the same direction as Viktor, but instead of following him, she ran for the room that she had dressed in earlier. After losing the baby that she had, she now lost the one man that she had loved with all of her heart since she was able to love anyone. This simply sent Aspen into a major depression where she had actually taken a leave of absence with her cheer squad and locked herself up in her bedroom in her parent's house and cried day and night over Viktor and how he was able to just walk out on her like he had.
