Who: Lily & James What: Taking a very important test Where: Their house When: Sunday evening Warnings: discussion of pregnancy Status: closed/in progress
For the past few weeks, Lily had been feeling run down and not quite right. At first, she assumed she'd caught some bug that was going around since it was that time of year. After a few days, James reminded her that he'd seen her like this before, when they'd first arrived in Madison Valley, in fact, and she was surprised to realize he was right. Was it possible that they were expecting again? Sure, they'd made the decision earlier this year to try for another baby, and yet she still wasn't quite prepared.
This morning, when the smell of her breakfast had sent her running to the bathroom, Lily realized that she needed to confirm what they suspected, so she sent James out to the pharmacy to pick up one of those muggle pregnancy tests since they didn't have access to a healer from their world here.
She opened the bathroom door and gave her husband an anxious look. "We just have to wait five minutes," she said. "And the little stick will either say 'pregnant' or 'not pregnant'."
