Narcissa had been so worried when she had heard that her Uncle was in hospital. She had of course not hesitated in visiting him. It was hard to believe that someone had managed to get into the palace and alight it to the point that the King had to be taken to hospital - even if it was only for smoke inhalation - thankfully. Lucius and her had visited him for awhile, until Walburga had arrived. While the Queen offered them to stay in the room, they had decided it was best to leave the two of them alone.

Plus, she did have her appointment with the healer soon.

Leaving Lucius in the waiting room, she headed into the Healer's office to see them. After all, she was sure it was nothing serious. Well she wasn't sure if it was a virus or if she was pregnant. She was a week late with her menstrual cycle and while she was usually quite regularly who knew, something might have happened to delay it. Either way it wasn't going to be anything bad.

After a few simple diagnostic spells, the healer started to start casting some other ones before nodding.

Leaving the Healer's room, Narcissa somehow managed to keep her face blank. She didn't want to inform Lucius here at the hospital, instead she would wait until they got home so they could celebrate properly. Here they would have to maintain their Pureblood outward appearance for while they were in public and that wasn't how she wanted to have him react to the news.

"I'm done," Narcissa informed him, hoping they would head back to the Manor now. She wasn't sure how long she could contain this news.

Lucius knew Narcissa had been ill. Yes, he had been a little worried, though he was true to her word when he said he thought she had nothing to worry about. His Narcissa was perfect. She could not be seriously ill and, if she did, he would not stop at anything until she was completely healed. The best healers would have been enlisted and, before long, she would have been back to normal. Of course, there was always the chance she was not ill at all, that she was pregnant. They had been trying since they were married to have a child, though they had not been succesful. He wanted it to be the case, but, after so long without success, he was not feeling positive.

After Narcissa had gone into her appointment, he had arranged himself into a chair in the waiting room. He had refused to meet eye contact with anyone else, merely picked up a copy of the Daily Prophet and read in silence.

It was only when he heard Narcissa's voice that he looked up. He only curled his lips upwards into a slight smirk as he stood silently. Her stone grey eyes flicked over his wife, but he could not see how she was feeling, one way or another. "I can see that," he said lowering his voice so only she could hear. He was keeping calm rather than reveal a part of him was worried and his heart was beating faster. "How was the appointment? Is everything fine?"

Narcissa had to bit the inside of her lip to keep her from telling him there and then. This was not the place to share the news with her husband, that was for the privacy of their own home. She hoped he would be happy with it, it wasn't like they had been trying not to have a child but actually having one was completely different when it came down to it. She at least knew he would not make her get rid of it even if he didn't want a child just then. she had always been scared that her husband would do that but Lucius... He wouldn't do that to her, she knew him well enough to know that for sure.

"Yes, everything went well," she finally managed to reply with a slightest smile and a nod of her head. "We might as well head home then, there's no point in us staying any longer." She suggested, turning towards the exist.

She had to admit that despite knowing that nothing bad would come from her news, she was still nervous about informing him. A part of her wondered what he would do if the child ended up being a girl. She wasn't dumb, she knew that he required a son to be the heir to the Malfoy fortune, or at least it was preferred as they could continue on the Malfoy name and that was something all Pureblood families desired to occur.
