arianna riddle

Lucille and Draco's baby was dead.

We were all at St.Mungo's, Lorenzo, Draco and Blaise were outside.

I haven't talked to Lorenzo all day. 

Right now it was Luna, Narcissa, Lucille and I in the hospital room.

"Lucille, the boys are outside. Do you want them to come in?" I ask.

"No." She replied blankly.

She was in a lot of pain.

The healer walked in with a clipboard and starting writing things down with a quill.

"We'll have the fetus removed in an hour. Until then, we advise you to get some rest." 

"I'll be o-outside," Narcissa mumbled and walked away.

I walked over to Lucille and brushed my hand against her cheek.

"I'm so sorry Luce, I'll give you some time to rest," I say while putting a small strand of her hair behind her ear. 

I walked away with a small smile to reassure her everything will be okay.

But everything was not okay.

She just lost her child. 

As I closed the door behind me I quickened up my pace and started speed walking towards the boys.

Tears started welling in my eyes as I got closer.

As I reached the waiting room Lorenzo stood up and walked towards me.

He quickly pulls me into an embrace and runs his fingers through my hair.

"It's okay, it's okay." He whispers in my ear.

He pulls away from the hug and kisses my forehead, then hugs me again.

Draco was staring at us.

He quickly sped walked towards her room.

"Draco no-" Narcissa yelled but he was too far to hear.

"Mr.Malfoy, you can't get in! She needs her rest!" A healer yelled.

"No, bullshit, let me in! I need to see her, let me fucking see her!" Draco yelled back.

St.Mungo's was always quiet, so it echoed throughout the halls.

I was still mad at Lorenzo, and I wasn't going to let him off that easily, but to feel Lucille's baby one second, then the next second I can't feel it anymore, it took a toll on me, and I needed Lorenzo right now.

....

We all apparated back to the Manor.

"Would you like anything to eat Lucille?" Narcissa questioned.

"I'm alright thank you. I'm just going to get some rest."

Draco and I helped Lucille up the stairs.

She was very weak, and I want to help her any way that I can.

"Are you sure you don't want anything to eat?" Draco asked.

"Draco, I'm not hungry right now," She huffed.

He clenched his jaw and I hit him on the back of his head, and shook my head 'no.'

We walked into Draco and Lucille's room and Draco told me I should stay for a while, just in case. 

I immediately agreed not only to help Lucille, but to avoid Lorenzo.
