1st October

Rosetta's POV:

"Blech, ugh" i heave over the toilet once more emptying the contents from my stomach.

I hear the door go downstairs,
"Rose"
"Reg?! up here!" i call flushing the toilet full of vomit for hopefully the last time today
"Heyoooo you don't look great"
"Thanks" I croak "what are you doing here?" My throat stings as I speak
"James sent me a note asking if I'm free if I can come round to check on you" he states staying in the doorway "how longs this been going on? haven't heard from you in a while"
"A week or so" I sit on the lid of the toilet feeling light headed
"Have you been to st Mungo's yet?" I shake my head but that results in more dizziness "are you pregnant?"
"What?!" I loudly force out of my mouth ignoring the pain in the back of my throat
"This is how Kayla went for the first couple of months, in the morning constantly throwing up"
"I saw her through those first couple of months she seemed fine" I wonder aloud
"She was only sick in the mornings, could you be? You know?"
"No, I'm not" i fold my arms over my chest
"Have you been tested cos if not you should just in case?"
"I can't be"
"Have you and James, you know?"
"Reg!" I squeak out embarrassed
"Have ya in the last month or so?" I blush furiously "I'd test yourself"
"Fine! Get me a muggle test like you got Kayla and I'll do it now!" I groan out defeated

Some time goes by and Reg arrives back in the house holding out the pregnancy stick
"Let's get this over with" i yank the stick off him and go into the bathroom shutting the door.

Once I emerge we wait the couple of minutes suggested in complete silence.

I head over to pick up the stick but I can't bring myself to look
"I can't" I turn around tears covering my vision, Reg steps in and looks at the stick, he turns towards me hesitantly; refusing to speak
"Well?" I ask impatiently
"Congratulations?" He questions looking at me nervously, my face drops and I can't decide what the biggest emotion is; fear, happiness, exhaustion.
I sit on the toilet seat again
"I can't believe this." I place my hand on my stomach "how could I let this happen?!" I convey pure annoyance
"It happens and I'm sure James will be thrilled" Reg tries to comfort me
"Oh he will be but he's not the one that has to carry it and push it out; after witnessing Harry's birth I'm not to thrilled to do it myself" i stress
"I'm sure it'll be fine?" He offers,
"you tell Kayla that, see what happens"
"I'm going to go, unless you need me?" He asks but it's so obviously clear he doesn't want to be here
"I'm fine" I wave him off
"Okay?"
"I'm fine Reg, you can go"
"Good luck" he blows a kiss and leaves
"Fantastic"

It feels like I've been waiting for days for James to come home.

I sit on the sofa my legs shaking out of habit when the door goes.

"Rose!" He walks in, surprised to see me on the sofa
"How are you doing? Should we book you into St Mungos? It's been on and off for over a week" he crouches in front of me looking concerned and a little erratic
"I will be booking an appointment but I know what it is" I state void of emotion
"Then why do you need to go to St Mungo's? What is it? And how do you know what it is?"
"For confirmation" instead of answering the other two questions I just hand him the pregnancy stick
"What's this?" He asks confused
"Look at it" i tell him

He pauses for a while before a ridiculously wide smile over takes his features
"Your pregnant?" He asks just to make sure, I nod not fully trusting my voice "this is amazing, Harry's going to have a little brother or sister" he looks into my eyes and the grin drops
"Your not happy about this, are you?" He looks heartbroken but it's better to tell him the truth
"I don't know, it just seems so out of the blue, I can't figure out how I feel" he nods understandingly
"We're great parents it'll be fine." He pauses "what made you take a test?"
"What apart from being sick on and off for over a week?" I ask sarcastically laughing slightly
"Yeah" he shrugs
"Reg, he came to check on me per your suggestion and he said this is how Kayla was the fir-"
"Woah, woah" he interrupts "Reg knew before I did?"
"Well yes, I wouldn't have found out otherwise"
"Right" he nods "I'm going to tell Remus"
"Now?"
"Why wait?" He asks genuinely confused
"Can't we have a few days for ourselves before we let our friends know?"
"And you think Regulus won't tell Kayla?" He comments exasperated, I roll my eyes
"I just need a few days to process, is that okay?" I question whole heartedly, he lets out a sigh taking my hands and pulling me up and into his arms
"Of course it is" he lets go after a while and crouches down to place a hand on my stomach "hi baby"
I can't stop a smile gracing my lips at my giddy husband.
