Two weeks have passed since Reyna moved into 12 Grimmauld Place. Regulus noticed lately that his wife ── wife. He still couldn't believe that they got married.
It was easy to tell the sickness symptoms and Reyna insisted it was probably a stomach bug. The Black was too busy to realize it until now.
Now there was a reason to destroy this Horcrux so his child wouldn't have a condemned fate like he and Reyna's.
"Master please consider this!" Kreacher cried out pleadingly, "Master shouldn't leave Mistress Reyna along with her unborn child!"
"Kreacher you must tell Dumbledore I died, nobody can know...I have to do this and you have to understand why."
Kreacher helped his Master out of the rowboat. "You need to help me Kreacher."
Regulus grabbed the cup filled with the green potion from the basin. "If anything happens you need to protect Reyna and the baby...tell her all about me will you?"
"O-Of course Master." Kreacher blinked back the tears and let out a large sniff to hide his emotions.
The Elf kept helping him drink the potion despite his screams echoing the cave. "SIRIUS NO I'M SORRY -- P--PLEASE DON'T BE MAD!"
The man cried for this big brother. He just wanted to be noble like him. That's all he ever wanted.
"Kreacher is sorry master," Kreacher whispered, "Is it worth it all?"
"For them, yes." Regulus choked out, by now he opened his eye, a hazy vision of his wife smiling sadly at him with glassy tears.
The boy could've sworn she looked like an Angel like she would be the reason that he'll make it."
"Promise you'll meet me on the other side?"
"I promise Reg, wait for me."
Regulus choked back a sob at the elf's words. "Goodbye, Kreacher."
"Goodbye Master."
He prayed that his plan would work.
Just when Regulus could no longer feel his limbs, he could feel himself about to be sunk to the deep ends of the lake when hands grabbed onto his hands.
"Honestly mate you are so stupid."
Regulus couldn't believe who it was.
Perhaps Reyna knew deep down their love was doomed from the start. The moment he became a Death Eater, their perfect life crumbled.
