Dear Diary,
I awoke this morning at 3, rolled over and vomited over the side of the bed. I'm about a month along and it feels like it's been 80 years. My poor Lord is asleep here. It's only 8 o'clock.. He's been dealing with the Death Eaters' pitiful excuses for small mistakes and whines of how Christmas is coming up and they want an extra day off from vacation. I keep telling him that I would deal with them but he insists that I'm not ready to handle the followers. I mean, I've known these guys for over 20 years, surely I know them by now. Sometimes my Lord still treats me as if I'm still his Death Eater, not his wife. But in case he's reading this….I love you with all my heart, Darling and you'll always be my Master. He's stirring. I must go now.
I closed the book and laid it on the bedside table and then leaned back over to my Master. I kissed him on the forehead and he opened his eyes.
"Did you sleep well?" I asked. He closed his eyes and sighed.
"Yes. How long have you been awake?"
"I haven't slept since before I got sick"
"What have you been doing for 5 hours"
"Watching you sleep, writing in my diary…watching you sleep…watched Nagini sleep…and wrote in my diary some more." He stared at me and then held out his hand.
"Gimmie it"
"No. You already read the rest of it"
"I just wanna see what you wrote about me"
"Who said I wrote anything about you, Lord I'm-Paranoid"
"I'm not paranoid…Let me see that book." He said as I leaned over and picked it up.
"No." Without warning he rolled over onto me and pinned me down and grabbed the book from my hands. He opened it to the last entry and read it to himself in silence. He looked down at me and raised and eyebrow.
"I do not"
"Can I have my Diary back"
"Take back what you said. I don't treat you like a Death Eater anymore. Although you still bear my mark, I'm fully aware of who you are"
"Fine. I take it back"
"Do you?" I sighed and rolled my eyes.
"Yes, please get off me"
"Are you lying"
"No, get off me"
"Not yet…I want you to repeat after me: I, Bellatrix Riddle"
"I, Bellatrix Riddle, wants you to get me"
"Don't take that tone with me. I want you to take it back!"
"I'll take it back after I-" And with the strength I had hidden in me, I pushed him off me, rolled over and vomited.
"Oh." I heard him say. He waved his hand and my hair was held up by an elastic. He waved his hand again and the vomit from the floor was gone, including the taste in my mouth. He pulled me close to him and held me tight, rubbing my back.
Nagini, who was sleeping, coiled up at the bottom of the bed like a pet dog, raised her head and smelt the hair and watched us. I could never tell what she was thinking, but I had a slight feeling that she was jealous, like she had some sort of…serpent feelings for my Lord. She always used to hang around with him before we got married and now the only time I see her and him together is at night when we go to sleep, but never when we make love. It's as if she's waiting outside the door until we're finished, she only comes in right when the Dark Lord rolls off me. She's a smart snake, I wouldn't be surprised if she knew I was pregnant with the Dark Lord's child. I continued to watch the large snake as she surveyed her owner and me. She knows me, even though I don't know Parstletongue, we still sort of bonded. So we never spoke, but It might be odd to see how a long time Death Eater could fall in love with her Master.
I suppose she does have some feelings for him, but never told him. Suddenly, Nagini shot a glance over to me and smelled the air. She gave a low hiss and the put her head down and fell back asleep. My Lord kissed me and I laid back down. He laid beside me and kissed my forehead. A sudden wave of dizziness came over me and I moaned.
"It will pass in a moment….just breathe." I nodded. I felt something slide up my leg and I gasped and looked down. Nagini was slithering up my body towards me. The Dark Lord watched her closely and glared. She got to my stomach and then raised her head as if to strike. And then she did.
