Chapter 2

Bella woke the next day and she could tell by how bright the room was she had slept in. She needed it but now her stomach was awake again and she made a mad dash for the large bathroom to vomit. Not that she had much in her system right now.

The house elf informed Master dark lord that Bella was finally awake and he found her kneeling by the toilet heavying.

When she was finished she felt a cold rag press into her forehead and looked up to see the sexy dark lord looking unsure of what to do. She would have laughed if she didn't feel like shit. She sat against the wall for a few moments until the nausea past.

"Sorry this has been happing for a few days now." She said taking the water he handed her.

"I have a healer here waiting to see you whenever you're ready. Maybe she will know something that can help with this." He told her as he pulled her to stand when she held her hand out to him. She waved him from the bathroom to brush her teeth and make herself look at least not half dead.

He was still standing in her room when she opened the door.

"How should I dress around here? I don't have a ton of magical clothes since I lived in the muggle world but I wasn't sure if there was a dress code around here?" she ask opening her trunk and biting her lip as she started shifting through the clothes she hastily packed.

"Whatever is comfortable for you is fine. I prefer least amount of muggle things here as possible but unless we are in a formal setting or I specify otherwise I could care less what you wear." He told her and she nodded.

She ended up with a pair of comfortable black pants and a long sleeve burgundy shirt since it was cold in the manor and she slipped on a pair of shoes before turning towards the dark lord.

"Where are we going?" she ask looking to him for some kind of direction.

"Do you want to eat first?" he ask and she shook her head.

"I don't think I can stomach it right now." She said and he nodded and waved her to follow. She walked next to him through the large manor home she hadn't taken the time to look at the night before. It was not the creepy, scary manor you'd think of a dark lord living in. It was large, and defiantly in the wizarding world but it was roomy, bright and nicely decorated.

"It's beautiful here." She told him and he gave her an actual smile as his hand landed on her low back.

"Thank you. I want you to be comfortable here. Let me know if you need anything, anything at all." He told her and she nodded as she looked down to hide her blush. He made her feel things no one ever had.

When they arrived in his study there was a blonde regal looking witch standing in the middle waiting for them.

"Narcissa Malfoy this is Isabella Swan. Bella this will be your healer Narcissa." The dark lord introduced. Bella nodded and relaxed some as the blonde gave her a pleasant smile.

"It's a pleasure to meet you. The dark lord tells me you found out yesterday you are with child." She said motioning for Bella to sit in the chair as the healer sat as well. The dark lord turned to leave but Bella stopped him.

"You can stay. If you'd like. It's your baby too." Bella told him with a look that told the dark lord she really wanted him to stay so he gave a nod and sat in the other empty chair.

"Yes I was taken to a hospital and informed there. They tried to terminate the pregnancy but I got away. The baby protected me. I had been sick for the last few days." Bella told her pulling her sleeves down in a nervous gesture.

"Sick in what way." Narcissa ask writing a few things down in a book she pulled out.

"Well, dizzy, tired. Nausea to the point of vomiting every day. I haven't been able to keep much in. Floo or apparition make it worse." She said and Narcissa nodded.

"It's very common in your first trimester to become sick and for some women they are sick a lot. Floo and Apparition will make those feelings worse but there not harmful to your pregnancy. Broom flying however is not recommended alone. There is a prenatal potion that you can take with an added ginger extract that can help sooth your stomach but nothing will make it completely go away. For most women in the 2nd trimester it gets better. There is also a ginger tea that can help too. I'll write this all down for you." Narcissa said and both Bella and the dark lord nodded.

"Since I've never treated you I need to ask you several questions if you ok. Some will be quite personal." Narcissa said giving the dark lord a look and Bella nodded.

"It's fine." Bella said before the dark lord could open his mouth to offer to leave.

"You are muggle raised yes?" Narcissa ask and Bella nodded.

"Yes my father was a muggle my mother was a squib born to the Dupre pureblood family in the states." Bella told her and she nodded.

"How many sexual partners have you had? Your 19 correct?" Narcissa as and Bella blushed and nodded.

"Yes 19 and I've only ever been with the dark lord that one time." Bella said and the dark lord held back a smirk he liked no one else had touched her that way. He was very possessive.

"No other lovers?" Narcissa ask and Bella shook her head.

"No. Being a witch I was never attracted to muggle boys, that would be too complicated. During school I just didn't get that kind of attention. I did date a cold one that only drank animal blood in the muggle world, but he was like 100 year old virgin vampire so we only ever kissed. That's it." Bella said and Narcissa raised a brow before nodding.

"Any recent major injuries within the last year or so." Narcissa ask and Bella nodded.

"I was ran off the rode in my truck by a Vampire where I hit my head and hurt my ribs. Um, last year well alittle over a year I was bit by a cold one and beat up badly. I spent a week in the muggle hospital for that." She said and both the dark lord and Narcissa stared at her in shock.

"You were bitten by a cold one?" the dark lord ask and she nodded.

"Yeah but my ex sucked the venom out which hurts way worse coming out then going in." she said holding out her arm to show him the scar on her forearm.

"Did they not know you were a witch?" the dark lord ask and she shook her head no.

"No I never told them. I couldn't until I turned 18 due to the strict laws in the states but every time I tried something stopped me. Then the left so that was that." She said and he nodded.

After a few more questions Narcissa ran a scan over Bella to check everything out.

"The baby is doing fine. Being that he is already powerful the baby will do better around the dark lord, it always helps to have both magical parents close. You will need to take a few potions and I want you to try not to do anything to strenuous. Sleep when you're tired, rest when you want and try and eat as much as you can stomach. There are several good pregnancy books I will send you." Narcissa said and Bella nodded.

"I assume Severus will be brewing these potions my lord?" Narcissa ask handing him the list of potions needed and the dark lord nodded.

"Yes I have a meeting with him later I will give this to him then." The dark lord said and Narcissa bowed before heading out.

"Did you like her?" the dark lord ask and Bella nodded.

"Yeah she seems nice and seems to know what she's taking about and as I have no clue about anything pregnant related that's good to know she has that knowledge." Bella said and he nodded.

"Um, what do you want me to call you? I don't even know your name other than the dark lord Voldemort." Bella said blushing and he smirked.

"Voldemort is fine. My birth name was Tom but I don't prefer that name at all. You never ask my name that night either." He told her smirking when she blushed even more and buried her face in her hands.

"I figured as much. I couldn't remember if I did or if you told me. God you must have thought I was some kind of drunk whore." She groaned and he chuckled.

"Not at all. Given that I took your virginity that night I can attest to you not being a whore. You were just well into the wine and it loosened you up." He said and she groaned again and rolled her chocolate eyes.

"I think some of my followers are about to have lunch. Would you like to try and eat? I can have this tea made for you too." He said looking at the list of ginger tea. She nodded and followed him from the room.

"It's lunch time already." Bella said and he nodded.

"Man this time change is going to really screw me up." She chuckled and he did the same as they entered the dining room.

It was large and there were several people sitting down waiting for them. Bella fought hard not to blush at their stares as the dark lord pulled her gently with his hand on her back around the table and sat her to his left.

"Since I spoke to all of you earlier you know who this is but let me make the introductions. This is the mother of my unborn child Bella. These are my most loyal and close followers. Lucius Malfoy and Severus Snape you met last night as well as Narcissa." The dark lord pointed and Bella nodded to the familiar faces.

"Lucius and Narcissa's son Draco and next to him is Harry Potter. Ex light's golden boy." The dark lord said and Potter rolled his eyes but reached around Draco to shake Bella's hand.

"Nice to meet you Bella. Glad I'm not the new person around here anymore." Harry joked and Bella chuckled.

"Then the LeStranges. Bellatrix, her husband Rodolphus and his bother Rabastan and my Werewolf advisor Fenrir Greyback." The dark lord finished and she nodded to everyone.

"As I said this morning Bella's safety is top priority. You will guard her with your life." He warned and there was a series of yes my lord's from around the table and Bella chuckled.

"That's intense." She told him and he smirked at her.

"You haven't seen anything yet." He said and snapped his fingers for the house elf to bring out food. He ordered her tea and she chuckled when everyone started drinking variations of tea.

"Tea's a big thing here I see." She commented as she sipped her ginger tea as the dark lord nodded.

"Miss…Bella I will have your potions ready later today." She heard Severus say from across her and she nodded as the dark lord cleared his throat.

"You will address Bella as Lady Bella for now. She's carrying my heir." The dark lord said and everyone nodded.

"My apologies Lady Bella." Severus said with a bow and Bella looked wide eyed at the dark lord. She didn't know how she felt about that.

"Voldemort that's really not necessary I'm no one important here." She whispered to him and he shook his head.

"You are most important and they will address you with respect or I will punish them." He told her and she just nodded. He was a dark lord and she knew he was dark and dangerous. She wasn't about to step on his toes in his own home so she just nodded and went back to her salad as they talked about what was going on with the light. None of it made sense to her but that was because she was new here. She didn't know anything that was going on and she truly didn't care about the light side especially since they tried to kill her baby but it was interesting to see the man she slept with in his dark lord element.

She couldn't say it didn't turn her on to see him ordering people around. She'd always had a darker edge to her back in school which is why she felt the pull to the vampires but she hide it well and here she didn't have to. Which was a nice change.

After lunch Bella went back to her room while The dark lord had a few meetings. She unpacked her trunk which didn't take long. She didn't have much things really. She would ask the dark lord later if she could read some of the books she saw in his study. She didn't think he'd mind but she didn't want to assume and she did love to read.

She was just about to die from boredom when someone knocked on her door. She opened it to see Draco and Harry standing there. Harry with a smile on his face.

"Lady Bella we wanted to see if you wanted some company. The dark lord thought you might get bored." Harry said and she nodded.

"You're not like here to entertain me out of fear of him are you?" she ask and Harry snorted.

"Draco maybe but I'm not scared of him. But no we really wanted to see if you wouldn't mind the company. There aren't a ton of people here that aren't boring to hand out with." Harry said rolling his eyes when Draco elbowed him in the ribs.

"Well come in then unless you have somewhere else you'd rather hang out." She said and he nodded and waved her to follow.

"The dark lord said we could give you a tour of the grounds if you'd like. It's a nice day outside and his manor grounds are actually really pretty." Harry told her and Draco nodded in agreement. She shrugged and followed behind them.

It was a nice day. Not overly cold but she slipped on the cloak they offered her just in case. He had a large garden with a lake off to the side. No neighbors at all. Woods behind the home not too far off and large shading trees in the backyard.

"It is really nice." She said and they nodded.

"So tell me. How did you end up, up the duff by the dark lord?" Harry ask her when they sat under a large tree by the lake. She chuckled.

"Honestly, I came to the leaky cauldron for my birthday. I didn't have anyone to celebrate it with and I had always wanted to visit Diagon Alley so I planned to spend the night. I was already tipsy when he showed up and sat near me. After that I'm pretty sure I chatted his ear off before we ended up in my rented room. I was pretty wasted so I don't remember it too much other then I liked it. I haven't seen him again till I came here." She said and they nodded.

"So word is you ran with Vampires what was that like?" Draco ask her and she sighed.

"I big mistake. I had just moved back home with my father from finishing my schooling at Salem and I enrolled in a muggle high school to please my father. There I met Edward Cullen and his family. I knew what they were the moment I saw them and after a few run in with Edward I became almost obsessed with him. He's the first guy to really give me a second glance. I was never attracted to muggle boys or anyone from Salem but I figured a Vampire might not be too bad with me being a witch. But I never told them what I was. It was nothing but big frustration. He was constantly worried about hurting me, and battling his thirst with me being his singer. I had to play the innocent, defenseless muggle which I hate. They had a way of making me feel not good enough from the way I acted or dressed. But I cared about them all. I was attacked a few times because of being around them and then they decided I wasn't worth the effort anymore. They betrayed me a left suddenly leaving another vampire in the area hunting me down and the local shape shifters were the only ones around to keep the area safe. Cold ones aren't totally un effective by our magic but it would take a lot to kill one so I left it to them to handle. When she attacked me the other day I fled as far from there as I could." She explained and they nodded listening in rapid attention.

"That's crazy. Seems your better off without the wanker." Harry told her and she nodded chuckling.

"Yeah the person I truly am just can't be with someone like that. She's too goody good if that makes since and I'm not. But there allure was heavy and it tends to make you weak around them. I was stupid and I thought I was in love which I now see I was not. It was a mistake I'd never make again." She said when the house elf brought her more tea which she drank as she had started feeling sick again.

"So tell me Harry Potter. What's the lights ex golden boy as the dark lord called you doing on the dark side?" Bella ask him and he chuckled.

"Honestly Draco was the thing that brought me over completely. The light had never really cared about me minus a select few. Draco and I had hated each other since we met but I didn't really see the world with open eyes back then. I was abused by my muggle relatives that the light left me with and Dumbledore played me like a chess piece since I came into this world and found out who I was. I stared getting sick or risking my life for people that only wanted something from me. Then I found out some things that Dumbledore had been keeping from me so I stared to shut down. Draco actually came to me when I saw I was hurting and we started up a tentative friendship that quickly turned into more. I released Draco was all I really wanted and to be with him I needed to start thinking for myself so I left and came here. The dark lord and I had some issues we have to work out but we both took oaths not to try and kill each other anymore and I've been happier here then I have anywhere else." Harry said giving Draco a loving look. Draco was a hard one to crack but she could see it in his eyes that he loved Harry back just as much.

"So you seduced the lights hero to the dark side. How darkly romantic." She teased and Draco snorted in amusement.

"You could say that I guess. I am just that good." Draco said and they all laughed then.

"It be time for supper young lords and Lady Bella." The house elf said popping in. They nodded and stood and headed back inside.

Voldemort met them at the back door and Harry and Draco left leaving Bella with the dark lord.

"Enjoy your chat?" he ask taking her cloak from her and tossing it as it hung itself on the rack.

"Yes there pretty funny." She said and he nodded and laid his hand on her back again and steered her towards the dining room.

Dinner was a little more relaxed then lunch had been. She didn't talk much but she listening to what was going on around her. Severus had her potions ready and she took her first dose before eating dinner. She wasn't able to eat a lot but she at least ate alittle.

After that the dark lord took her to his sitting room that was connected to his office and had even more books surrounding the walls.

"I wanted to ask if you minded if I read some of your books. You have an impressive collection." She said and he nodded.

"Of course read whatever you'd like." He said sitting on the sofa and picked up a book he had been reading before. She spent some time looking through the books before pulling one out on mind magic and walking towards the sitting area. She was going to sit in the empty arm chair before the felt the dark lord grab her wrist as she passed him. She looked over as he pulled gently and guided her to sit by him on the couch. She did so with a small smile on her face and settled down comfortably very close to him as it was a small sofa. He didn't seem to mind and she loved the feel of his magic. It felt like a silk blanket wrapped around her as she started to read.

After a couple hours of just reading if comfortable silence the dark lord felt a heavy weight pressing into his shoulder and look up from his book to see Bella had fallen asleep and was leaning against him.

Chuckling he shift her slowly until she was laying with her head in his lap and he ran his fingers through her hair gently as he read, every now and then he laid his hand on her stomach and felt his child inside. He felt very content in that moment and decided to just let it happen.
