Pregnancy concerns; St Mungos [HJ, DA, HA, EM, MS, GP] WHO: Hestia, Dominic, Hannah, Ernie, Miles, Gideon WHERE: St Mungos WHEN: Wednesday, 14 June, 2000; evening SUMMARY: An otherwise uneventful pregnancy suddenly turns uneventful. IN-PROGRESS THREAD. RATING: PG-13
It was indigestion, it had to be. Hestia had been repeating that like a mantra since before she'd stepped into St Mungos earlier, but it was getting harder in waiting to see a Healer and having the pains still persist no matter which way she shifted. Though she wasn't about to admit it to anyone hovering in the hallway – and Merlin were there enough of them hovering, who knew she'd collect a crowd in needing to see a healer? – she was scared. Getting past the mark where she'd lost her first child had felt like the defining point of this pregnancy, and everything from there would be fine. It had been, even, until now.
"You are going to stay put, mister, do you hear me?" she said, rubbing one hand over her rounded stomach before lifting her head at the sound of the door opening.
