Unexpected (Completed?)

Chapter 8

I woke up to sunshine poking through the windows and Severus sitting beside me with the Prophet. "Good morning my love." I smiled then it hit me. I stood up and ran like a freight train out of hell to the bathroom and vomited until there was nothing left for me to vomit so I began dry heaving. During the episode Severus had come in and was holding my hair. I stood up and looked in the mirror and looked absolutely dreadful. I brushed my teeth and threw my hair in a high loose ponytail. An elf appeared and cleaned to toilet. Severus disappeared as I washed my face. When I was done he came pack with numerous vials. "The purple is a prenatal potion Narcissa sent, I'll be brewing a better one for you but this is for today, this blue one is for nausea. Its out of a batch I brewed awhile back for St. Mungos and had extra. Take these, the nausea one you take once in the morning and in the evening." I nodded and down them, they did not taste bad thankfully. My stomach instantly settled. Thank you Severus for being a potions master.

He kissed me and led me downstairs to a small breakfast nook. He drank tea and ate bacon and eggs. My plate was a bit different. Mine had orange juice and tea, an omlet with cheese and spinach, bacon, toast, and blueberries. "Uhm Severus are you trying to fatten me up?" He chuckled, "I see the elves are making sure you eat from every food group for a balanced diet. Then again you are carrying their future master or mistress." I nodded and ate. After breakfast we went for a walk around thr grounds. He showed me his potion ingredients, the food garden, a barn, we walked far from the house and there was a pond with a gazebo and a large weeping willow that was so huge I could sit against the trunk and not see me surroundings.

As we walked back to the house I yawned. "Why don't you go take a nap? You'll tire easily right now." I nodded. "Will you join me?" He pulled me closer to him, "I'll stay until you are asleep. Then I will go brew potions for the month for you." When we got into our room he went into the closet that held my clothes. He pulled out a thin cotton dress that could be used a slip under a gown, as a inside dress or a night gown. It was white with simple sleeves. I slipped my clothes off and put it on. It was loose and light against my skin. He pulled back the covers for me. "Why does the bed smell of lavender?" He smiled, "to help you sleep." I laid down and very quickly fell asleep.

I woke up and the sun was high in the sky, "good afternoon mistress. Master instructed sparkle to bring mistress lunch." Before I could say anything she was gone with a pop. Seconds later she was back with my favorite. Peanut butter and banana sandwich, milk, and a giant pickle. After lunch the bed was refreshed by magic and Sparkle set me down in front of my vanity and began brushing my hair and put it back in a loose but neat ponytail. "Mistress can stay in her dress." She gave me a pair of flats that could double as slippers and took me to the basement. There Severus was concentrating deeply. Sparkle left and I waited to be actually invited in. He finally noticed me. "Hello my darlings. Go to the sitting room, there are baby magazines if you want to shop for things." I smiled and nodded. Maybe things would be alright, I hope they will be.
