Who? Lavender and Kevin
When? Tuesday, late afternoon
Where? Their flat
What? Lavender has some news for Kevin
Rating? TBD

Lavender had left St. Mungo's a little after lunch, seeing as she hadn't been hungry, lunch hadn't mattered. She'd finished her paperwork, made sure the afternoon shift assistants were settled then headed home to see Kevin. Riding the elevator up, she read a pamphlet she'd gotten from her new maternity mediwitch that explained about the early months of pregnancy. She was already showing a lot of the symptoms - fatigue, sore breasts, and the early stages of morning sickness though Lavender always felt sick around lunch time.

As the elevator opened, she tucked the pamphlet into her bag and pulled out her keys. She'd known about the baby for just over twenty-four hours, but hadn't told Kevin because she'd wanted more information from the maternity mediwitch. Things were looking up, but she still wasn't sure how Kevin would feel about a baby. When she opened the door, Roxy bounded over, barking happily. "Hey girl," she smiled, petting the dog. "Kevin? Babe, you home?" she called out, setting her bag on the table.

	She headed for the kitchen then stopped short when she got a whiff of his lunch. "Kevin... are you almost done with that?" she asked. "And when I say done... I mean is it almost gone?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I just made it." Kevin picked it up and took a big bite. He leaned back against the counter. Lavender looked kind of pale. After he swallowed he gestured to her. "You okay? You look sick." He took another bite. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She held up a finger, indicating for him to stay back. "Just... finish that and..." Yeah, she was going to be sick. Lavender made a run for the bathroom, making it just in time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin frowned. He ate really quickly so he could go check on Lavender without wasting perfectly good roast beef. When he was done he wiped his mouth, took a drink of water, and followed her to the bathroom. "Lavender, what's wrong?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

A few moments passed and so did the wave of sickness. Great, she couldn't be normal and get her morning sickness before work, she had to have it in the afternoon. This wasn't going to work, she though with tears in her eyes.

Lavender sat on the rug in the bathroom, her head in her hands. She sniffled and looked up at him. For whatever reason, she was afraid to tell him.

	Kevin crouched down in front of her and stroked her hair, which was a little sweaty off her forehead from throwing up. He tried not to think about the fact that she'd just puked, because it was not very attractive. "Did you catch something at work? You should be in bed resting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-09 03:05 am UTC (link)
	She shook her head, wiping at her eyes. "No..." She took a breath and looked up at him again. "I'm pregnant," she said softly. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin's hand stopped moving. His forehead tensed and his eyebrows went up just the slightest bit. "Oh." It took a moment for his brain to catch up with itself, and then all the thoughts rushed at once. His voice cracked when he spoke next, "Aren't you... potion?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her bottom lip quivered. "Yes!" she cried. "It was... I didn't mean... it was one day!" she told him. "I didn't mean for it to happen... one day lapsed but it was..." Lavender was crying now, her words coming out in a jumbled mess. She knew he'd be upset. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Hey, don't cry." He pulled in to lean on his shoulder. Kevin held her close, rubbing her back. He was terrified of being a father, terrified of being his father, but she had nothing to worry about on her end. "Accidents happen. We'll be okay." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-09 03:13 am UTC (link)
	But she did cry. "I'm sorry, this is my fault. I knew my potion was running low... and I should have restocked... or resisted... but it was the full moon and I couldn't control myself around you," she cried into his shoulder. "I didn't mean for this to happen!" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-09 03:16 am UTC (link)
	"Hey, we both couldn't control ourselves. I'm just as guilty." Hell, he'd started it. Kevin fondly remembered pushing her against the wall, not the other way around. He smirked a little. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender pulled away from him just a little, sitting back on the floor as she looked up at him. "I found out yesterday... I'd had my suspicions but... I didn't want to believe it. I mean... we just got married, Kevin.' (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-09 03:20 am UTC (link)
	He nodded. "Well, not planned but, hey, we'll be okay. I've got money. We've got each other. And we have nine months to be alone together, even if you're sick and craving weird foods." Inside Kevin was terrified, but he was being strong for her. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender sniffled a little, calming down somewhat. "Yeah... but I'm definitely not craving anything right now," she told him. A moment passed. "I'm pregnant... I mean... pregnant," she said aloud, trying to wrap her mind around it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-09 03:30 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, well we always did things a little backwards, right?" He kissed her cheek and then got up to fetch her toothbrush and a cup of rinse water. "Here." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-09 03:34 am UTC (link)
	She laughed softly as she got to her feet. "Well, it looks like I got pregnant before we got married, so yeah... backwards," she agreed. Lavender brushed her teeth, getting the nasty taste out of her mouth. After rinsing she turned to him. "I'm due on May 7th of next year," she told him. "I can find out in a couple of months if it's a boy or a girl." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin wrapped his arms around her and leaned on her shoulder while she brushed. "We've got plenty of time to worry about all the little things. Right now it's still just us, and I love you." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender shook her head a little, staring at him in the mirror. "No... it's not just us anymore... I'm growing someone inside of me," she reminded him. "Which is a bit of a bizarre concept when you think about it. My new mediwitch gave me all kinds of papers and pamphlets to read. My breasts are going to grow... and so are my feet," she told him in amazement. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-09 04:03 am UTC (link)
	"Grow?" Bigger breasts? What was the down side to this? Kevin smiled. "Alright, not a problem." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-09 11:47 am UTC (link)
	She nodded a little, turning around to face him. "It's not exactly the most comfortable idea in the world, Kevin," she sighed. "I don't want to get huge... even if it is for a baby," she told him. The truth was that Lavender was no where near mentally prepared to carry a baby... she was probably still a little too selfish for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You'll be beautiful." Kevin didn't understand why women thought getting pregnant large was at all like getting fat. It was a very attractive shape, he thought. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-10 12:32 am UTC (link)
	She sighed, running her hand over her flat stomach. "So... a baby? You OK?" she asked him, trying to read him for an honest answer. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I think so..." he took a deep breath. "I hope parenting skills aren't hereditary." His father fell among the worst. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender moved closer to him, wrapping her arms around him. "We have each other... we'll get through it all together... promise..." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
