Sunday was a recovering day for the Spellman family after Saturday's surprise. Zelda decided that she wasn't going to tell Willard about the baby. It wasn't his after all so he didn't need to know. Also, she was an independent woman and didn't need a man controlling her.
Sabrina woke up Monday morning at 7:00 to the usually sound of her aunt's morning sickness. She wasn't worried now though. Sabrina was kind of excited that she was going to have a new cousin. It would be just like having a sibling, something she never got to experience.
After putting on her favorite jeans and sweater in Sabrina head down to kitchen, grabbing an apple before she headed off to the bus. "I will spend a few miserable days one the bus so you can relax,"she told her aunt as she head out the door.
Sabrina arrived at school just as the bell rang. She felt bad that she didn't get to say hello to Harvey, but she would see him in Algebra, and at lunch.
Meanwhile at the Spellman home, Zelda was getting ready to go to her first doctor's appointment. The Witches Council had got her the best doctor in the other realm. Unfortunately the doctor's name got singed off the message, thanks to Salem's English muffin that was in the toaster at the time.
Zelda said good bye to her sister as she stepped into the linen closet. With in seconds, she was transported to the Other Realm Medical Center. Zelda took the elevator to the 15th floor which was home to the Magical Back Fire Ward, the Broken Finger Ward, and of course the Maternity and Obstetrics Ward. As soon as Zelda opened the door she knew she was in a waiting room. It was a small, with bright white walls, a few chairs, and a coffee table with enough magazines to cover a highway. Putting all the dislikes to the side Zelda went to the receptionist desk, and was confronted by a young red head receptionist wearing a pink scrub top, and more than enough make up.
"Name Please," she said in deep New York City accent.
"Zelda Spellman." Suddenly the receptionist became intrested in doing her job.
"Oh My God, you're that women the Witches Council was telling us about. Your paper work has already been filled out by the Witches Council, and the doctor is ready to see you, so go on back," she said, pointed to the door.
Zelda opened the door to the office and couldn't believe who she was seeing. It was Lawrence Simon, her ex co worker, former love interest, and now the father of her future child.
"Well, if it isn't the lovely Zelda Spellman, Here take a set so we can get started," Lawrence said as she showed her to the doctor's chair. Zelda could tell that he was excited to see her, but didn't want her to know
"Lawrence! What are you doing here?" Zelda asked.
"Well, about 4 months ago I started to get bored with biology, and chemistry, so I decided to get a degree in medicine. I'm filling in today for Dr. House.
"Dr. House works here!" Zelda said. She was shocked and a little nervous. She knew he was brilliant, but didn't like his ethics or attitude.
"Yeah all of the people from the show do. Cuddy makes him work in here as punishment, but don't worry Zelda, he really isn't as bad as they show him today. You will be in great hands.
"You know me too well Laurie," Zelda said with a smile on her face. Zelda looked up and saw he was smiling too. As soon as he saw she was looking, Lawrence turned away and went back into his role as Doctor.
"So, lets get started shall," After taking Zelda's blood pressure, family history and listened to her heart beat, Lawrence said a cantation and in a orange sparkle of magic, a clip board appeared.
"What's the clipboard for?" Zelda asked after the orange sparkles disappeared.
"These are your health stats. It's much more efficient than drawing blood and doing other tests. Anyway, everything seems fine. From the looks of it, your due date will be September 19th. So as you know everything during your pregnancy will be pretty much just like the mortals, including the birth. I still have no clue why we haven't found a pain free way around that, but it was nice seeing you Zelda," His voice changing from serious to sincere.
"It was nice seeing you to Laurie," Zelda said after a few moments of silence Lawrence continued
"Um, I'll want to see you…I mean House will want to see you in a months, so just make an appointment with the receptionist on the way out."
"Alright. Thank You Dr. Simon" Zelda walked out of the office puzzled. Beside's his flirting, Lawrence was wierdly calm about doing prenatal care on his own baby. Did he really know that it was his baby, or was he just hiding his emotions.
Back at West Bridge High, the lunch bell had just rung. Sabrina was glad it was lunchtime, especially after a long period of Physics. Sabrina grabbed her lunch, and sat with her friend for the first time all day.
"Hey Harvey. Sorry we didn't get to talk this morning, but I had to take the bus," Sabrina said as she opened her pudding cup.
"What wrong with your aunt? Is she sick or something," Harvey asked in a concerned and caring voice.
"Very, she's Pregnant." Sabrina said
"Déjà vu," Valerie jumped into the conversation, remembering the conversation the trio had had about Harvey's mom not only a few months ago. After a few moments of silence, Harvey spoke.
"Well congratulations. Now my brother or sister will have a friend. We should arrange a play date." Harvey said trying to lighten the mood.
"So does Mr. Kraft know," Valerie asked, knowing how Sabrina's aunt had been dating their vice principle 3 months ago.
"No she's not,telling him because it's not his. My aunt is working with the High IQ society in trying to prove that IQ might be genetic, so her being one of the only women there plus her secret of wanting a baby, she volunteered," Sabrina said, trying to come up with a lie to cover up that this was the Witches Councils fault.
"Wow that's a lot better than having Mr. Kraft become your step uncle," Valerie said.
"Just promise me you won't tell anyone about this. All I need is people making fun of me for having the weird aunt who's having the genius baby."
"Well you didn't tell anyone about my mom being pregnant, so I can definitely keep that promise," Harvey said after taking a sip of soda
"Me too. Now I feel left out because my mom isn't pregnant," Valerie moped, not wanting to be the outsider in her group of friends.
Harvey and Sabrina looked at each other than looked at Valerie and at the same time said "Trust me. You don't want this."
