Summary: It's time to announce the news to your family, that you're expecting a baby.

Warnings: fluff, pregnancy.

*Since my computer is broken I have been obsessed with writing one shots lol I think I finished writing all one shots I wanted for Narcissa. Once I finish posting them I will turn the settings to "completed", but ofc it doesn't mean I will stop writing for her, though I am focusing on another character right now in case y'all are interested, it's gonna be about Angelique Bouchard from Dark Shadows.

Since you discovered you are pregnant, your wife and you have agreed to announce the pregnancy to your friends and family (except Andromeda of course) after you completed twelve weeks, just to be safe. A few days ago you reached twelve weeks of pregnancy, so your wife and you decided to tell the news on separate occasions. That's why you're here right now: at your parents' house, the place your siblings and you grew up in, for lunch.

You don't know what to expect of your family's reactions. Your parents definitely weren't supportive of your relationship with Narcissa at first; she might've been a pure-blood like they wanted, but she was a woman, a woman closer in age with them than with you. However with time they slowly began to tolerate you two, your father even walked you down the aisle for Salazar's sake!
Your siblings on the other hand have always been quite supportive of Narcissa and you. At first your older brother would even make jokes about your wife (at the time your girlfriend) being a cougar and saying you were very lucky to steal Lucius Malfoy's wife.

Everyone is sitting at the table after lunch when your father comes with a bottle of white wine. You look at your wife as your dad opens the bottle and begins to serve the wine in glasses.

He reaches your glass and is about to pour you some when you place a hand over it. "U-umm, dad?"

Narcissa holds your hand under the table in expectation for what's about to come. Your dad stops pouring the drink and gives you a confused look. Your mother looks at you expectantly as well.

"What's the matter, sweetheart? You don't want wine?"

You feel everyone's eyes on you. You take a deep breath, look at your wife who softly squeezes your hand, then look at your parents.

"Actually, um..."

You hesitate for a second, but then Narcissa gives you an encouraging nod, a knowing sparkle in her eyes. You take one more deep breath.

"Actually, we have something we want to tell you."

Your parents and siblings are all looking at you with a mixture of confusion and curiosity. Your mum is the first to speak. "What is it, dear? What do you want to tell us?"

You hesitate for another second but decide you can't back down now. You squeeze your wife's hand under the table and blurt out:

"I'm—I'm pregnant."

Silence. Your dad looks utterly stunned, your brother is blinking rapidly as if processing the information, your mum has her hands over her mouth and your sister is looking back and forth between you and your wife.

None of them say anything for a painful moment. Then your dad is the first to finally speak. "You're what?"

You gulp and nod at your dad, feeling your wife's hand tightening around yours.

"I-I'm pregnant. I'm, um... I'm t-twelve weeks pregnant."

Your mother takes her hands off her mouth, uncovering her surprised expression.

"You're serious?" she asks. "You're not joking, right?"

You shake your head, feeling a tight knot growing in your stomach, nervousness making it hard for you to utter a word, so it's Narcissa to speak for you this time.
