Narcissa's eyes were closed as she sipped her tea, long and slow. She savoured the way it warmed her from the inside out, feeling as the liquid glided into her stomach after that first swallow. She exhaled slowly. Once she was finished, and sufficiently calm, she went to Lucius' study, straightening her robes on her way.
"Lucius," she said, walking up to him. He was looking over various documents and making notations. His hair was pulled back into a neat ponytail.
He looked up and straightened in his seat. It was unlike Narcissa to disturb him while he worked; she generally sent a house elf to relay any messages. "Yes, Narcissa?"
She gently ran her fingers over the nearest section of his desk, careful not to disturb the papers, before flattening her hand and looking directly at him. She took a breath before she spoke. "I am with child."
Lucius froze. Then all at once he laid his quill and parchment down and made his way around his desk, his eyes never leaving his wife and hers never leaving his. He laid a hand gently on the small of her back and she leaned into it ever so slightly. "Are you certain?"
"Very much so," she said, softly but unwaveringly.
"That," Lucius said, equally soft and just as unwavering, "is most wonderful." He kissed her softly.
