"WHAT?" Sirius said laughing. No one else found it funny though.
"Bella you idiot!" said Andromeda. "Let me give you this lesson in this little thing we call contraceptive charms!"
"WE were careful but we forgot, just one time," said a distraught Bellatrix Black.
"Clearly that was enough!" laughed Sirius as helpful as ever when their was a crisis going on.
"Sirius you are not helping the situation," shouted Andromeda. Oh my god she was too young to be an aunt. Bella was too young to be a mother but she was pregnant.
"Ok let me get a few things straight!" said a pissed off Andromeda. "Rodolphus is the father!"
"Of course I'm not a whore!" sobbed bella, she said. She knew she had been a fool to hope for a bit of support.
"Could have fooled me." Said Sirius
"SIRUIS!" shouted Narcissa. Was she the only adult here?
"Fine!" he said lying on the bed.
"What am I going to do?" said Bellatrix. She needed help and fast.
"Hello? Abort it!" said Andromeda as if it was the only option her sister had.
"Andromeda, shut up!" said an annoyed Narcissa. "You have no right to tell Bella to abort the baby. It is her choice. Sweetheart, Rod knows, doesn't he?" she asked tenderly.
"Not yet, when he and Lucius arrive I'll tell him," she said through her tears.
"Oh this just gets better!" said a clearly pissed off Andy.
"Ok," she said. "What about- how far along are you?" said Narcissa trying to think of the practicalities for her sister, Bella could not do it for her self right now.
"Only two months!" said Bella.
"Ok how long have you known," she said biting her lip with nerves.
"Around a week I guess."
"Ok Bella going to be alight," said Narcissa assuming the role of the mother hen.
As the scene rolled out Regulas just watched in amazement. No wonder Lucius was in love with her. She was taking responsibility for the family when no one else would. She wasn't the child every one mad her out to be. She was a strong young woman.
Bellatrix laid her head in Narcissa's lap.
"Bell," said Narcissa "We have to tell daddy, you do know that don't you," she said softly.
Her now crying elder sister shook her head. "He's going to hate me, I have let him down so badly." sobbed Bellatrix.
"You should have before you slept with Rodolphus shouldn't you?" said Andromeda.
"You know what will you just go away Andy?" sobbed Bella.
"Fine I'm leaving!" said Andy.
"Amen!" said Sirius also leaving.
"We're going to get you through this," said Narcissa tenderly.
"Please don't tell daddy yet. I'll do it before we go back to Hogwarts, ok?" said Bella her brow in her hands.
"Right, ok Bella," said Narcissa.
"It's going to be fine," said Rg.
Narcissa hugged her tight.
"We're going to have to tell rod, you know that don't you?" said Narcissa. "Eve n if we don't tell daddy, we have to tell Rod."
"I do it the day he arrives." Nervously but truthfully.
"Good." Sid Narcissa reassuringly.
Narcissa didn't sleep that night. How was she meant to lie to her daddy? She had to support her sister. She had to grow up.

At about one o'clock in the morning Lucius Malfoy heard a tapping on the window. Getting the letter of the bird he read it and felt sadden by it.
Lucius,
I miss you desperately. Counting the days we're apart,
With all the love in my heart,
Narcissa.
