Summary: Narcissa thinks she might be pregnant...
Status: Complete
Ever since she'd spoken to Andromeda over the journals Narcissa hadn't been able to stop thinking. Pregnant. Could she be pregnant? She'd dismissed it, since the chances of concieving on her first time 'out of the gate' seemed too ridiculous to be true. But more than a week had gone by and she was still getting sick nearly every day, not to mention the exhaustion that seemed to hit her around midday. She could have just caught a bug, but maybe...
She knew what she needed to do, there were charms that could tell you for sure if you were, well, in a family way. She didn't know them, in fact she knew almost nothing about any of this. Pregnancy, sex, contraception. Her mother had just told her to save herself, and that everything else would go as it was meant too. But now here she was, trapped on a muggle road trip with no way to see a proper Healer. She certainly wasn't going to any muggle clinic, but there had to be a way. It took her longer than she cared to admit to remember that Regulus might know. Poppy Parkinson had been desperate for a match with him, and Regulus had been terrified that she would fake a pregnancy to try and trap him. He'd learned all sorts of things about it that year, so there was a good chance he could help her now.
She sent him off an owl, asking him to meet her in her tent that evening. She waited anxiously, confident that everyone else was out enjoying whatever muggle town they were stopped at this weekend. She hadn't bothered to keep track in ages. Regulus would know what to do.
