It was the morning after and Bella woke at 6:20am for work. Bella got out of bed to not wake Harry, and walked in the bathroom. She heard moving around from the bed, and heard Harry getting up. Harry walked in the bathroom, and walked over to her, and wrapped his arms around her waist, closing the door "Good morning." "Good morning, Harry." Bella turned around, sitting on the closed toilet seat. Harry stood in front of her, and pressed a kiss to her forehead. Bella smiled up at Harry, and got up "Did you sleep well?" She nodded "Did you?" "I did, beautiful. Thank you for asking." Bella smiled "Don't be polite, it's okay, Harry." Harry smiled, and helped her up.
Harry sat down and pulled Bella into his lap. Bella put her legs down, "Well, what time is your shift today?" "It's at home, 8am till 3pm, but it's all online meetings, so I can step out of them if I need to." "That's good, when's your first appointment?" "8:30." Harry nodded. Bella got up and walked into the bedroom, sitting on the bed. Harry came in the bedroom "What's wrong?" "My parents.." "What's happened?" "My parents could be divorcing." "What?" "They kept arguing last night, and my dad said he's moving out to live elsewhere." "Okay, I'm really sorry." "Don't be sorry, my parents are Malfoys, Harry." "I know, darling. I live with one." "I know you do, but I'm not like my dad, even though I have his temper." "You do have his temper." "I do, even though I go through a lot." "True, sweetheart. You do have Lucius' temper." "Be quiet." Bella laughed at Harry, and hit him in the chest.
Harry put her hand down "Go back to sleep if you want, Harry." Harry got back into bed. Bella pulled the covers over him, and sat on the bed "You okay?" "I'm doing okay." "How's the morning sickness?" "Disgusting, I keep being sick especially when I smell red meat." "Oh lovely," Bella got on the bed and laid on the bed on her back one hand on her stomach. Harry turned around to look at her "Cancel your meetings today, if your morning sickness is getting you down." "That's what I'm going to do. I have a scan soon." "You do?" "Yeah, but it's a home visit." Harry nodded, lifting her up and laid her under the covers. Bella cuddled closer to Harry and placed her head on his chest "Aww, is it cuddles time?" "Yeah, morning sickness and getting up for work, not good." "I bet, I need to get Maisie up in an hour for reception, and then I'll come back and look after you." "I can look after myself, I'm a 21 year old woman who may be pregnant, but I can look after myself." "Okay, if you're sure." "I'm sure, but right now, can you please go and make me a cup of tea, please baby?" "Of course." "Thank you." Bella smiled and looked up at Harry.
Harry leaned down and kissed her forehead "Anything to eat?" "No, eating will make me throw up." "Fair enough. When we find out the gender, what do you want?" "I don't mind, I do want a boy though to be equal." "What would his name be?" "Charlie. If we had a son and you named him Charlie, I'll probably end up crying as my uncle was called Charlie before he passed away. He once pulled me to a side and he said if I ever had children, and if my wife ever named him Charlie, he'd be proud." "Aww, I'm so sorry. When did he die?" "When I was 20, he died of lung cancer, that's why I always get emotional when we put the tree up as little 10 year old me used to run around with tinsel and he used to chase me and pick me up over his shoulder and spin me around until I got dizzy and he let me do it." "That's adorable, darling, where's his grave?" "East London Cemetery. It opens at 8:30 in the morning, my auntie lives in Canning town but since Next Thursday is his anniversary of his death, I was going to go down there and see her." "Do you want me to come?" "She doesn't know I've got a wife and a daughter." "Okay then." Bella sat up, and placed her hand on top of Harry's.
Harry laced their fingers together "Well, is everything all good?" "Yeah. I want to tell my auntie about us, she'll be pissed, as she thinks I'm straight, I'm not." Bella looked at Harry, "I do want to come with you, but I don't know who's going to look after Maisie." "Get Bellatrix or Narcissa to do it." Bella reached over for her phone, and ended up turning over on her stomach.
It was later on in the day and Bella had finished with her appointments and she was now sitting back in bed as Harry came in the bedroom "Hey sweetheart." "Hey Harry." Harry sat on the bed "How has your appointments?" "They were okay, it was weird as I have to do it online for some reason." "That's weird, do they still do the thermometer checks?" "They still do, yes. Mine was high the other day. This can't be happening again, it happened years ago." "What?" "Am I burning up?" Harry walked over to her and felt her forehead "Shit, princess." "What?" "You're bloody burning, sweetheart." Harry checked again "Yep, you're burning." "I don't want this." "I know you don't." Bella nodded, pulling her knees up to her chest, and put her head down. Bellatrix walked into her niece's bedroom "Harry, do you want me to pick Maisie up from school?" "Yes please, give me a few minutes, Bella's not doing good." Bellatrix walked over to her, sitting on the bed.
Bellatrix placed one hand on her back, "What's going on, sweet girl?" "I don't feel well." "What type? Head, Stomach or everywhere?" "Everywhere." "Do you think you might have Coronavirus again?" "I don't know, maybe." Bella looked at her aunt "Harry?" "Yeah?" "Where do you have your test kits?" "In the drawers." Bellatrix got up, and got one of the boxes out and got it open, getting it all sorted "I'll let you do that whilst I run downstairs." She nodded. Bellatrix walked out of the bedroom and downstairs to where Harry was "I'm getting her to do a test and if it comes back positive, you'll be going home back to your parents until she's better." Bellatrix walked on upstairs where she was, sorting it out "How are you doing?" "Can't breathe." Bellatrix got her a roll of tissue, and put it in the bedroom. Bella put the liquid onto the stick and waited for it to do it's thing.
When it was complete, she looked up at Bellatrix, "What is it?" Bellatrix came over "Okay then." Bellatrix walked back out and downstairs and called Narcissa "Hello. Bellatrix, what's up?" "Bella has got Coronavirus again," "Okay, what's Harry going to do?" "I'll take Maisie to mine, Harry's going back to London until she's better." "He can sleep in the spare room, can't he?" "Oh yeah, he can." "I'm going to give Bella a call to see how she is, and get back to you."
It was back upstairs and Bella felt the bed moving as she answered the call "Mum?" "Hey sweetheart, how are you doing?" "Horrible, I feel so ill." "I bet you do. I can hear it in your voice." "I feel so terrible, literally, my voice is also going, so I have to be really careful." "Why do you need to be careful?" "I'm carrying another baby," "Is it Harry's?" "Yes it is, mum, and I don't feel good, even though Harry can stay here or go to ours, are you and dad okay?" "We made up." "How?" "You know how baking calms us down? Well me and dad made brownies," "Aww, sweet, when I'm feeling better, I'll probably do that with Harry." "That's fair." Bella laid herself down in bed with her bin next to her just in case.
Harry peeped his head into the door with a mask on, and got his charger and laptop, walking into the spare room on that floor, and plugged his laptop in. He put it down, and got under those covers. He called Bella, as she answered, half asleep "Mmm, Hi." "You look horrible." "I am, I feel it." Harry felt bad and she turned over to look at him with her blanket over her eyes and her eyes began closing, and her entire body relaxed as she slept, little snores coming out of her mouth from how congested she was, and she hoped Harry wouldn't get it, and he kept an eye on her for another 15 minutes, until he drifted off to sleep himself.
