Small Beginnings Chapter 10
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Narcissa lay her hand
on the satin sheet where her husband normally lay. She sighed at the cool
touch. He hadn’t been home at all last night. The first rays of light were
creeping into the bedroom.
She missed him. He worked too hard for a man of his
breeding. He was running around like a commoner. It’s not like he needed the
money, he just needed the influence. She would speak to him later about how
much time he was spending away.
Narcissa swung her feet to the carpet to go to the bathroom
when she was hit with a wave of nausea. She ran to the bathroom, bent over the
toilet and heaved. She lurched until she had nothing more to give.
She felt a small hand tug her dressing gown and a house elf
handed her a wet cloth.
“How did you get here?” Narcissa asked the elf as she took
the cloth. She wiped her face and rose to brush her teeth. She was well awake
now.
“The house notifies the elves when a member of house is
sick, Miss,” the elf bobbed at her.
“Clever,” Narcissa said, frowning at her reflection. She
looked pale.
“I wonder how I got sick,” Narcissa said. “Probably
something Lucius brought back from the Ministry.”
“No, Miss,” the house elf said stepping back. “Is baby sick,
Miss.”
“I beg your pardon?” Narcissa said turning toward the elf.
“The baby is making you sick, Miss,” the elf said, beaming
at her. “I will make tea that will make you better, Miss.”
“Baby?” Narcissa said weakly. “How do you know there is a
baby?”
“We can see, Miss,” said the elf. “All elves can see.”
Narcissa turned her back to the sink and leaned against the
counter. She put her hand on her midsection.
“When will the baby be born?” Narcissa asked.
“April,” said the elf. “Is happy, Miss?”
“Yes,” Narcissa said, running her fingertips over her
stomach.
She heard a soft hum as the elevator rose.
“I’ll get tea, Miss,” the elf said and apperated.
Narcissa walked into the bedroom and saw Lucius trying to
walk silently, his shoes in his hand. He straightened up when he saw her.
“Good morning,” Narcissa smiled and went to him.
Lucius dropped his shoes and embraced her.
“I fell asleep on the couch in my office,” Lucius explained
sheepishly. “You’re up early.”
“I wasn’t feeling well,” Narcissa said. There was a soft pop
and a tea service appeared on the wooden chest at the foot of the bed. “Our
house elves are exceedingly efficient.”
“Are you all right?” Lucius said, looking concerned.
“Yes,” said Narcissa. “But it’s going to be inconvenient for
a while. I’m pregnant.”
“I-we-how?” Lucius sputtered.
“How?” Narcissa said, pulling away
from him.
“That’s not what I meant,” Lucius said, pulling her into an
embrace. “I’m very pleased.”
Narcissa pushed away from him quickly and ran back into the
bathroom.
Lucius removed his clothing and poured himself a cup of tea.
He drank it as Narcissa heaved. When she returned he handed her a cup of her
own and helped her back into bed.
“I’ll have the elves put something near the bed so you won’t
have to dash about,” he said as he tucked her in.
“Thanks,” she said weakly, sipping her tea. “I don’t think
it will be like this the whole time. I didn’t even feel ill until this
morning.”
“Don’t worry,” Lucius said slipping into bed beside her.
“Everything will be taken care of.”
