Summary: "Mrs Black?". "Right here" I said, and stood up as the receptionist told me that the doctor was going to receive me. I turned around and looked at Narcissa as she stood too. I could see she was trying to hide how annoyed she felt about being here, but the sight that left her mouth spoke louder than any word.

"Right here" I said, and stood up as the receptionist told me that the doctor was going to receive me. I turned around and looked at Narcissa as she stood too. I could see she was trying to hide how annoyed she felt about being here, but the sight that left her mouth spoke louder than any word and I couldn't prevent myself from feeling a little hurt by her attitude. We had talked about this a lot, well, 'argue' would certainly be better-chosen, and all I could do at the moment was pray that she wouldn't make a scene in front of the doctor
We entered the consultation room and I laid on the hospital bed as she took a seat next to me, not saying a word. We remained silent for a couple of very uncomfortable minutes until she decided to speak
"I really don't understand what we are doing here"
I let out a heavy sight, knowing exactly where this conversation was about to go, before I answered.
"Please Cissy, don't start"
I was surprised to feel her fingers gently brushing my cheek before they softly took a hold of my chin, making me face her.
"Listen, Mia. We have talked about it before, and I understand that you want to see a Muggle doctor according to your background, but is it really necessary? We already saw a healer at St Mungo's, what will we learn from your doctor that we don't know yet?"
"Please Cissy, I don't want to talk about it right now, just keep an open mind, okay?"
She nodded slightly, and I gave her a brief smile before I averted my gaze from hers.
"I know you don't want to talk about it again." she whispered, not looking me in the eyes. "But you need to understand that I just want you and the baby to be healthy."
I couldn't help but find what she said endearing, the way Narcissa always tried to protect me constantly made my heart melt.
I cupped her cheek and turned her face to make our gaze meet again. I let my thumb gently caress her cheekbone and leant forward, my lips brushing tenderly against hers before I kissed her.
"I will be fine, I promise" I told her as we broke apart. "Do you trust me, love?"
She nodded slowly and breathed out a small 'yes', not really sure about her answer, but it made me happy nonetheless to hear it.
I leant froward, and my lips found hers again and again until we heard the door slowly open, and the sonographer entered the room.
She whispered a small 'I love you' and briefly pecked me on the lips before she stood up and shook the doctor's hand.
