new beginnings and new love.

Cassidy felt him move her to the flkat she felt more comforrtable there and sighed as he undid her shirt as she lay under him on the bed she could not help graon as he kissed her from her belly button to her lips she held him tight against her feeling her want for him growing with each touch of his body against hers............


***** FADE OUT ****


Cassidy woke to the warm feeling of some on caresing ehr head and she sighed and smiled at its touch. But something else hit too nausier and she dove to the bathroom throwing back the covers as she ran naked to the bathroom something making her throw up down it " god... please don't say jess gave me.... food poisoning" she said and sat on the floor after another bout of throwing up.

Clayton quickly got up and fallowed Cassidy into the bathroom. he held her hair back so that she didn't get vomit in it. "Honey, are you okay," he whispered. he sat behind her with her in between his legs. he gently wrapped his arms around her careful not to squeeze or hug her too tight. he kissed her on the shoulder as he let her lean back against him. "i don't think food poisoning is contagious. so she could only give it to you if she was a bad cook." he whispered kissing her forehead.

Cassidy looked up at him and shook her head " shes a good cook " she said and threw up again " I don't think i'll make that apointment " she said pulling down some toilet roll to wipe her mouth feeling it ease she stood up rinsing her mouth out with fresh water she looked at Clay and held him close " what else can it be ?" she asked with a deep sigh her head resting on his chest " will you come with me to the soliciters this morning my healers apoingment is after that " She said partly muffled by his chest.

"i'll go anywhere with you, Cassy," Clayton whispered putting his arms around her once more. he kissed her on the forehead. "even if you wanted me to go to the top of an active volcano i would." he knew she'd never ask him to do that. he kissed her gently and picked her up bridle style and cradled her in his arms. he carried her back into the bed room and sat on the edge of the bed holding her close to him. "would you like me to get you some close?" he asked her quietly.

cassidy smiled up at him and chuckled when he said he would go to an active volcano with ehr " I wouldn't ask you to do that , just to the healers office " she siad taking a deep breath in to quell yet more nausier that threatened to hit her again " toast would be nice , anything heavier would just come back " she said and glnced at ehr clock " god is that the time we have to go " she said and grabbed her clothes quickly dressing she stopped her head spinning slightly from the fast movement she ahd just done " ok the solociters is down the road the healer ..." she paused " its a few doors down" she moved with him to the door " sooner I get this over with the better "

she walked down the ally to a dark door with gold letters on reading 'gibble and sqeltch' and she sighed " trust my father to hire a wizard lawyer" she said and pushed open the door feeling like she was five again and scared.

Clayton studied Cassidy before he got dressed him self. "i'll make you some toast to eat on the way." he said and went to do that. once it was done he was ready to head out the door. He walked with cassidy his arm around her waist. "this is where your father works?" he inquired when she muttered something about her father hiring a lawyer. she pushed the door open and Clayton fallowed her inside. he felt like he could sense her uneasiness and pulled her closer to him. "its going to be okay," he whispered kissing her on the head.

Cassidy felt him pull her closer as they walked to a door with gold lettering on , she paused and took a deep breath in. Knocking she ehard a cheerful voice beckon them inside and she gripped his hand tight as she then pushed it open . As small rounded man sat at the table and smiled at them both " ah miss mitchell , come in come in , take a seat " cassidy looked at Clay and moved to sit down " I wasn't expecting your husband to come with you " he said and pulled a second chair over for him and sat back down at the desk.

" Clays not my husband yet, we're in the planning stage " she said and took a deep breath in " why was I asked to come here , as far as I knew my father hated me " she said leaning against Clay for support.

" well it seems he had an inusrance policy with us which on the event of his death would pay $100,000 sickles we contacted you because, well, miss michell, you are his oly serviving relative " he said and sat back as he then made a glass of water float to her " you look a little pale " he said " ow don't get me wrong ,there will be background checks and such but since you work for Minister Lupin thats a formality" he said .

Cassidy heard what he said but could not belive it, her head spun alittle but then grew worse the water helped but she lowered her head down and took deep breaths she looked at Clay " Dizzy " she said then sat up to face the man again.

Clayton's arm tightened around cassidy when she leaned on him. he understood the words the man spoke. he had heard them once him self. only spoken by a different person in a different way. the only thing there had been for him to inherit was an old shack in australia which he meant to sell. though hadn't had the chance to do so. that shack held nothing but bad memories. "Cassy," he whispered quietly kissing her on the forehead. "I'm sorry honey," he said quietly. "its all going to be okay."

Cassidy sat slowly up and nodded " I know " she said softly to him she looked back at the laywer and sighed " what is it I have to do ?" she said seeing the smile on his face.

The man walked over to her and placed his hand on her shoulder " you have to do nothing leave it to me miss Mitchell " he moved back to his desk " ok down to the reading of his will " he pulled a large peice of paper out and opened it " ok " he said and smiled " this is the will ....well we all know that part i'll skip to the part your here for , to my one and only daugter I leave the sum of $100,000 sickles held for her in an account at gringots bank on the praviso she in herits it when she is married and on the birth of her first child which is to be a boy ."

Cassidy looked up at him " I knew it , he thought i would nevr marry well more fool to the old fool " she siad looking at Clay " but the other im not sure on It could take months or years " she said loking at the laywer " I knew there would be some sort of catch hes a bastred even after death " she said taking adeep breath.

"It's still okay," Clayton said kissing her on the forehead, "let him be a dead unloved bastard. we don't need the money. you don't need the money. If our first child is a girl who cares about a few pieces of metal? if its a boy we still shouldn't care about the sickles at all." he looked her in the eyes. "as long as your with me you won't go with out anything you want," he whispered. he looked over at the man then back at his wife. "he has nothing else to say about your life." he was of course talking about her father. the man that was supposed to be his father-in-law and the grandfather to his children. He was kind of happy the man would never know his grandchildren. from what he had heard about him he wasn't fit to know them.
