Who? Lavender and Kevin
When? Foredated to Monday morning
Where? St. Mungo's maternity ward
What? Their first appointment with a healer
Rating? TBD

Lavender was a bundle of nerves. Why couldn't get an earlier appointment? She'd had to go into work on Monday morning for a shipment and if she could have had her appointment with her healer earlier, she wouldn't have been nervously skipping from one foot to the next, waiting for the delivery. Once it had arrived she'd ordered people around to make sure nothing broke, hurried the delivery guy off so she could sort through the inventory so she could rush to the maternity ward to meet Kevin.

Once upstairs, her nerves started to get to her again and she just wanted to be reassured that her baby was healthy and everything was normal. Kevin had assured her that it would be fine, but he wasn't a healer, so how could he be sure? Lavender turned the corner and saw him coming towards her and she felt a tiny bit of relief at his presence.

	"Everything is going to be just fine. Really," he said. Kevin turned, keeping his arm around her shoulder, and walked with her to check in. Of course a few people whispered when they entered the office. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Word of their marriage was still a topic of rumor and debate in Witch Weekly. Each week was a new theory - one of them was dying, she was keeping him from being deported, she was blackmailing him, he married her so she couldn't testify against him in a murder trial, he was hiding his sexuality behind a marriage... the list went on and on. Now... a shotgun wedding would probably be next.

	It was hard to argue as, even if they didn't know it, they had gotten pregnant before the nuptuals. Kevin put his hand on her back to support her (emotionally, not physically). "We have an appointment for eleven-thirty," he told the receptionist. "Entwhistle." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-27 01:17 pm UTC (link)
	The receptionist beamed up at Kevin and Lavender stared at her, unable to believe what she was seeing. "Check your appointments," Lavender reminded her, slipping her own arm around Kevin's waist. The receptionist nodded, and let them know that it would be a couple of minutes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Kevin turned and kissed Lavender's temple before walking with her to take a seat. He slid into a dark blue chair with wooden arms at the end of a row. A number if wizard magazines sat on the end table next to him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Lavender sat beside him, wringing her hands in her lap. Glancing at the table, she reached out and grabbed the latest issue of Witch Weekly. "Mmm, look at my husband hogging the spotlight again," she teased, showing him the picture of him on the cover. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-27 11:04 pm UTC (link)
	Photographic Kevin was trying to escape the frame. Kevin laughed. "Oh yeah, I'm really such a ham." Almost every photograph of Kevin was hiding. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-27 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	And when he wasn't hiding, he was trying to hide Lavender. "Mmm, we're both so photogenic," she grinned, watching her brunette hair fly as he spun her around, away from the cameras. "You know... when they get wind of this," she gestured to her belly, "they'll be making bids on the first pictures..." she warned, because it was inevitable. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-27 11:44 pm UTC (link)
	Kevin thought about that. One one hand, it was horrible to sell baby pictures. On the other, if you just flat out denied baby pics to the paps, they'd be all the worse trying to get them. It was better to sell the first pics to someone so the hype would die down. "True." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Before Lavender could reply, the nurse called them in. Her heart skipped a beat and she grabbed Kevin's hand as they stood up. She didn't know why she was nervous... just venturing into unknown territory, she supposed. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-28 12:08 am UTC (link)
	"It'll be fine," Kevin whispered. They followed the nurse down the hall into the office. He checked his watch as they went. He had a work-related appointment later to keep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-28 12:33 am UTC (link)
	She nodded, squeezing his hand as they were led down the hall to a small room. The nurse checked her vitals, waving a wand over her body as Lavender sat on an exam table. Once the nurse left, Lavender turned to Kevin. "Have you thought about names at all?" she asked him. "Did you know that there are entire books dedicated to picking baby names?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-28 12:49 am UTC (link)
	"We don't even know if it's a boy or a girl," Kevin said. Names were a long way off. They had months for that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-28 01:01 am UTC (link)
	Lavender shrugged, smiling a little. "It's a nice thought though," she said. "Do you want to know what we're having, or should we leave it a surprise?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-28 01:03 am UTC (link)
	"Well, if we know what we're having, we can plan a room better, right?" Where were they going to put the baby, that was the first question. His flat's second bedroom was his studio. He might have to sacrifice the studio. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-28 01:09 am UTC (link)
	She swung her legs, looking over at him. "Yeah, that sounds logical," she agreed. Lavender was thinking along the same lines he was - space was already becoming an issue for them. "So... we don't really have room for a baby... do we?" she said aloud. "Any chance we could but another floor of the building?" she grinned. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-28 01:12 am UTC (link)
	Kevin laughed. "Maybe. That might not be a bad idea. I mean, I could magically add another room, but I think the landlord might get suspicious." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-28 01:17 am UTC (link)
	"He would wonder where all of our kids are sleeping," she grinned. Lavender looked down the floor then back up at Kevin with a hesitant expression. "What... what about the idea of... a house?" she asked him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-28 01:18 am UTC (link)
	'All our kids'? Kevin swallowed. He was nervous enough about scarring one child for life. "We could buy a house." Hell, Kevin could buy a house out of pocket. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-28 01:24 am UTC (link)
	Lavender missed the terrified expression on her husband's face. "I mean... we could buy a house... you wouldn't have to," she said. "My mother left me part of her estate... I'm not saying I want you to buy a house," she said, not wanting him to think she saw him as an bottomless money bag. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-28 01:28 am UTC (link)
	"It doesn't matter where the money comes from, so long as we both love it." Kevin loved his apartment, and it was going to take a pretty impressive house to change that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-28 01:31 am UTC (link)
	She smiled over at him, glad that he liked her idea. "It could be a place to grow into... together," she smiled, reaching for his hand again. "I want us to grow as a family... you, me... this baby and maybe more babies if we don't mess this one up," she grinned up at him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-28 01:33 am UTC (link)
	"Right. We stand a very good chance of messing this one up." Kevin hadn't ever had a real parental example, either. He didn't know how he was supposed to act. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-28 01:36 am UTC (link)
	She nodded in agreement. "But, at least we'll have funny stories to tell the baby when he or she is grown up... how mum and dad didn't know how to change a diaper, or how we couldn't assemble the crib without magic," she laughed. "We'll figure it out as we go... I think if we love this baby enough, the rest will come..." she assured him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-28 01:37 am UTC (link)
	Then the Ravenclaw instinct struck. "Maybe we need some books." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-28 09:49 am UTC (link)
	Lavender nodded. "Yeah, there are lots of books about babies. I work until three, and then I can pop over to Diagon Alley and see if I can find a couple," she offered, knowing he had a couple of appointments. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-28 11:05 pm UTC (link)
	"Alright," maybe reading, having a bit of preparation, would comfort him. He sure hoped so. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-28 11:12 pm UTC (link)
	She tugged his hand, pulling him close to give him a gentle kiss. The healer arrived then and, of course, after her examination, reassured Lavender and Kevin that everything was normal. Lavender could breathe again. ((I'm sorry to rush through that, but I don't know if we'd be able to finish it tonight cuz I have to get to bed early)) (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-28 11:30 pm UTC (link)
	Kevin checked his watch as they left the appointment. He wrapped his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close. "See, everything is fine." He was going to have to jet about now, but he could say goodbye. People usually forgave the rock star for being late. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-29 12:27 am UTC (link)
	She nodded, walking with him, her arm around his waist as they wandered down the hall. "Yes... yes, I know. And our next appointment, we can find out if we're having a boy or a girl," she beamed excitedly. "I love you... I wish you didn't have to go so fast," she sighed, turning toward him as they paused in a quiet hallway. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-29 01:02 am UTC (link)
	"I know, but I have to make money to buy lots of diapers," he said. Kevin kissed her forehead before stepping back. "I'll bring home dinner, okay?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-29 01:13 am UTC (link)
	She laughed softly, reaching out to grab his shirt, pulling him in close again. "Just... one kiss," she smiled up at him. "Mmmm, bring home something light. My stomach can't handle much." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	chalkontheboard 2009-09-29 01:16 am UTC (link)
	Kevin gave her a lingering kiss before stepping back again. "Alright, no greasy burgers." He waved and walked backwards until he was around the corner and out of sight. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-29 01:18 am UTC (link)
	She sighed softly, running her fingers back through his hair before he pulled back. "Good luck with your meeting, and I'll see you tonight," she smiled, waving to him as he walked away. Lavender sighed and turned to walk down the hallway, heading back to work for the afternoon. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Audrey Weasley had fallen through. Now the ministry was on his case. He needed to pick a subject and go, now. He was running out of time.

He lingered outside the ward, waiting for the next woman to pop out. When Kevin and Lavender left the office, he ducked around a corner and pretended to get a drink of water, keeping his back to the connecting corridor.

He was doing a decent job of hiding his face, but then someone, a guard in gray robes, spotted him. "Hey, stop!"

His face was all over the hospital. He was really lucky to have gotten this far. Kevin had just rounded the corner. Lavender was alone. He ran, grabbing her and pulling her close to him, his wand at her throat as he fumbled in his cloak for what he needed. "Don't move a muscle."

	Lavender was just about to head into the stairwell when someone grabbed her. She felt the panic rise in her throat. She was terrified and was afraid to even yell because it wasn't just her at stake... she had to worry about her baby, too. "Don't do this," she whispered pleadingly.

"Too late." He pulled the chain from the time turner around their necks and gave it a good, long, twirl. The corridor spun around them as they vanished. Blurs of people rushed by. He focused on the time turner as it spun, propelling it for extra turns as it went. And then he stopped it fast and they landed on the floor, in the hospital, after hours. Months previously.

He stuck the wand in her back quickly. "Stay quiet." He needed to get his equilibrium back before he apparated.

	Lavender felt dizzy and sick and when they came to a stop, she proceeded to get sick right in the hallway, just missing his shoes. She couldn't help it, hormones and such. "What... what was that?" she moaned, clutching at her stomach. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	wands_mod 2009-09-29 01:35 am UTC (link)
	"Time turner," he spat, thinking it should be obvious. He grabbed the back of her shirt. His stomach was settling. He had the presence of mind to summon her wand and throw it down the hall before grabbing her wrist and apparating out of the hospital. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	shop_witch 2009-09-29 01:39 am UTC (link)
	"Time Tu--" she started, but was cut off by apparating. And just like that, Lavender was taken back through time, kidnapped in the worst way. No one could find her because she'd literally vanished. She couldn't call for help because she couldn't cross paths with herself in the past... the nightmare was only begining. (Reply to this) (Parent)
