Heather pointed out the stress she'd been under and that the baby was definitely already three months along, and Morag realized she'd been pregnant through all of it. Horrified, she breathed, 'Is it okay? I mean, I would have been pregnant during that last battle. And during that time after Tibby died when I couldn't eat or sleep and I was swimming laps to try to tire myself out enough to not dream. And when Antonin gave me the Dreamless Sleep potions. Oh, gods, Heather, check me out! I have to know the baby wasn't hurt by all that!'
Morag lay back against the exam table and put her arm over her head. 'Oh, Merlin, I was pregnant before Tibby died. I could have told him....he would have been so happy!' she moaned, bitterly regretting that Tiberius had missed the chance to hear the news.
'I'm sorry....' she whispered, trying to get hold of her emotions. 'Please make sure the baby is alright!'
As Heather went about her work, Morag's storm of emotions calmed and she listened to the sound of her little one's heart beating with awe. 'Can you tell if it's a boy or a girl?' she asked.
