Chapter Fifty Six – Doctor II
Something was bothering the owner of Weasley's Wizards Wheezes.
George never had much contact with pregnant women but he knew they were supposed to develop large bellies, he just didn't know how far in pregnancy it starts to show. So, as the dedicated husband and soon-to-be-father George wanted to be, he did the only thing that came to his mind: ask his mother. After six pregnancies, she should be a reliable source of information.
George paid close attention to his wife changes. The small bump in her belly was barely noticeable, she might be even thinner if he was honest, and it bothered him to no end. His plan kinda backfired because now not only him but Molly was worried too.
Kagome has not gained weight. She was over sixteen weeks long and the bathroom scale barely changed. The muggle doctor said she was in perfect conditions and that she may be one of those who doesn't show pregnancy until much later, but neither George nor Molly was confident in his words. It took him many hours and promises of chocolate to convince Kagome to see a healer. That's how they ended at the Burrow on a week day.
Only Molly, George, and Kagome were at home when the healer came. Old wasn't old enough to guess her age. George remembered the witch from the few times he or one of his siblings got sick at home. She looked exactly the same as he remembered her from… 10 years ago, maybe? The white frizzled hair, hunched back, typical purple witch clothes, and a pointed hat. It was the personification of an evil witch from a muggle storybook Kagome showed him once.
"Mrs. Hallewell, thanks for coming," Greeted Molly.
"Molly Weasley. Not another child, I hope." her croaky voice matched her appearance.
"Yes, but not mine. Mrs. Hallewell, you must remember my son George. This is Kagome, his wife."
"It's a-"
"Wife, huh?" the old witch interrupted Kagome. "How old are you, child?"
"Nineteen, ma'am."
"And for how long you and your husband have been fornicating?" She was speechless. It was hard to know what was redder: George's hair or his and Kagome's faces. Even Molly was kind of embarrassed by the question. "Stop being shy because a baby is only made when a man introduces his penis in a woman's vagina." Kagome's mouth was open but no words came from it, so George took the lead.
"Almost six months, ma'am," George answered. Why in the seven hells didn't he asked his mother to leave when Mrs. Hallewell arrived?
"And her last period?"
"Early November."
"Good. Now, dear, please take off your clothes. You may keep the panties." And she turned to look for something in her bag.
George paled. He prayed to Kagome's Gods that she didn't have any bruises, or love bites, or scratches, or… He remembered being very gentle the last time they were together, but in the heat of the moment, he couldn't be too sure. Kagome's sweaty hands squeezed his. She gave him a confident smile and proceeded to disrobe. To her, after traveling in the past, it wasn't too awkward to be naked in front of unknown women. And like the old witch said, it was no secret that they had sex, so it shouldn't be a problem to either of them to see the other clothes off.
Mrs. Hallewell made a quick checkout on her body, stopping at her tummy to pay more attention. She pressed a few points, asked if Kagome was aching here and there. After this, the old witch put on a knowing smile and let Kagome put back her clothes.
"It has been many years since I feel one of yours, child."
"What do you mean, Mrs. Hallewell?" asked Molly.
"A priestess, Molly. Not many are born these days, much less married to a wizard. Priestess, you can stop feeding your aura to the baby now. After the third month, the risk of miscarriage is much lessened, especially in your case. You will only tire yourself out if keep doing it."
"Are you sure,ma'am? I mean, I don't want to take risks." she crossed her arms in front of her belly protectively.
"Absolutely, child. You are putting yourself, therefore, the baby, under stress by doing it. Rest and eat and you will be fine."
George, Kagome, and Molly were relieved with Mrs. Hallewell words. The pregnancy was fine and that's all they could ask for.
I'm college free for the next four weeks, yay!
