The atmosphere in the room was thick with anticipation as the healer returned for her follow-up visit. Orion sat on the edge of the bed, his hands clasped tightly together, his face pale and anxious. Sirius, Lucius, and Narcissa stood nearby, their expressions a mix of concern and curiosity.
The healer entered the room with a solemn expression, holding a stack of papers. She approached Orion and took a deep breath before speaking.
"Mr. Black," she began gently, "I have the results from the paternity test. I'm afraid I have confirmed that the baby is indeed Abraxas Malfoy's."
Orion's face went ashen, and his eyes filled with fear. He glanced at Abraxas, who stood nearby, his face a mix of shock and concern. Abraxas took a step closer to Orion, trying to offer some comfort.
Orion then turned his gaze towards Sirius and Lucius, his fear palpable. "What does this mean for us? For the baby?"
Sirius moved closer to Orion, his voice filled with reassurance. "We'll figure this out. This is a lot to take in, but we'll face it together."
Lucius, still processing the news, looked at Abraxas with a serious expression. "This is a significant development. We need to consider how this will affect everyone involved and ensure that the right decisions are made."
Narcissa, though concerned, stepped forward with a supportive tone. "Orion, we're here to help you through this. Whatever decisions need to be made, we'll work through them together."
Orion's eyes filled with tears as he looked back at Abraxas. "I'm scared, Abraxas. I don't know what to do. This changes everything."
Abraxas reached out, gently placing a hand on Orion's shoulder. "We'll take this one step at a time. We'll make sure you and the baby are taken care of. We'll find a way through this, no matter how difficult it seems."
The healer nodded in agreement, offering a reassuring smile. "It's important now to focus on your health and well-being. We can discuss your options and ensure you have the support you need."
Sirius and Lucius exchanged glances, both realizing the gravity of the situation. "We'll need to discuss how best to move forward," Lucius said thoughtfully. "But for now, let's make sure you're okay, Orion."
Orion, still feeling overwhelmed, took a shaky breath and nodded. The support from those around him, despite the challenging circumstances, provided a glimmer of hope as he faced the uncertainty ahead. The path was fraught with complexities, but with the help of his family and friends, Orion prepared to navigate this new chapter in his life.
