Her sin – 20 – About time
…
His large hands pushed the door open for her. She forced a smile on her face and stepped into the entirely white office followed by her husband. They waited until the doctor came in.
"It's nice to see you again, Mrs. Voldemort" Dr. Jonathan Stevenson said holding Minerva's hand in a greeting way, and receiving a glare from the man standing next to her. "My Lord" he added hiding some fear and making gesture with his hand offering them a sit. "I hope there have been no problems with the pregnancy during these couple weeks"
"No, I haven't felt any pain, doctor"
"That's good. Now we're going to do some regular tests, just to make sure everything is fine with the baby, you don't need to worry because it's something every pregnant witch has to do. If you please, I'll need you to take off your clothes and put on the gown hanging there" he pointed right behind the door "We'll leave the room not to make you feel uncomfortable. Once you're finished you can lay down in the gynecology chair"
"I'll stay" was Tom's answer to the questioning look of the doctor when he stood up to leave and saw Lord Voldemort wasn't "She's my wife" he pointed just to make that clear.
Minerva said nothing. She took her shoes off before standing up and right after the door was closed behind Dr. Stevenson, Tom stood up to help her undress. He slowly undid all the buttons of her dress, and then he slide the fabric down her shoulders following every curve of her body with his large cold fingers causing a shiver on her.
"You're so beautiful" he whispered on her ear once she was completely naked in front of him.
"I'm getting cold" she said stepping aside to grab the hospital gown that was hanging on the wall "Call Doctor Stevenson, please" she asked while she walked to the chair.
"Don't talk to me like that" he yelled "Do you like the doctor? Do you think I didn't notice how he looks at you?"
"Call the doctor, Tom, please" she repeated in a very neutral tone. After a stare fight that nobody won, he left the office to make the doctor know his wife was ready.
…
"Now…" the doctor said after an external examination to Minerva "we'll try to see the baby"
"Can you really do that?" Minerva wondered, a smile suddenly draw on her face.
"Yes…" he told while making everything ready for it "There's a wizard in the States who studied the technology used by muggles to do that and using the same theory he was able to find a spell formula to get the same result…"
"Sounds very interesting, doctor… but I've always hated muggle studies, so let's get to the job"
"Sure, my Lord, I'm sorry…" the man put his head down and then gazed at the clock on the wall. "Well, it's time… now grab the chair…" he said, and made sure that Minerva's hands were holding each arm of the chair before placing his wand on her belly… His other hand was holding the chair with her. Minerva wondered how her baby would look like while the doctor gazed at the clock one more time. His lips moving like if he was counting the seconds on it. But before she could ask herself about the sudden worry about what time it was on the doctor, she felt herself taken away by some force. She realized the white office was no longer around her, and grabbed stronger to the chair not fall down.
Minerva closed her eyes. She'd always hated travelling by a portkey.

TO BE CONTINUED…
A/N: First of all, I must say thanks to all of you who answered my message of desperation. I've tried to reply each one of them, but I don't always have time. I can assure you, though, that I do have read all of them and that it made me very happy to know that this fic does still have so many followers ^.^
I know this part is not very long, but I felt it was a good cliffhanger since next part will be completely different. I thought it was time to make Minerva finally come back with her friends and to start making decisions for the future. ((no spoilers :P))
I just hope I haven't disappointed you and that you've enjoyed reading this part as much as I did writing it.
And since I know this story used to have quite critical readers (I say it in a good way), I must apologize to them for my spelling and grammar mistakes. But, as I do understand they can feel offended, I do beg them to understand I'm not native and that I do my best to write a good a story in the best English I can.
I think this is all I had to say so… Good night and my best wishes to each of you ^.^
