Author's Note: For the emotions challenge prompt on xoxLewrahxox's Bellatrix forum. The emotions were fear, anger, joy or sadness. This supposed to be fear. (Creative title, eh? ;] I couldn't think of anything else, haha.) Drabble is exactly 100 words.

Fears of a New Mother
They all told her that she'd be a good mother, just as her mother had been. But that didn't stop the thoughts that crept on her at night.
What if she died during childbirth?
What if the baby died?
What if she wasn't a good mother?
(What if Cygnus had an affair?)
More questions found their way into Druella's mind. She couldn't rest – and wouldn't – until the baby was safely in her arms.
When the time came for her delivery, she tried to resist. She was scared… terrified… petrified. She couldn't breathe.
What if all of her fears came true?
