What does the healer say?

That she's having a fucking baby, that's what they say.

Nearly six weeks premature. Nothing the healer hasn't seen before, but not ideal.

Bellatrix, you ought not have overworked her.

[alt_bellatrix]

Pardon. I ought not have what?

My, doesn't this sound familiar.

Darling Rodolphus. I've let you have the daughter you always wanted. And now she'll soon be giving you another daughter or son.

Don't you know why I let you have those things?

So that I would have more things to take away from you later, if it became necessary.

Did you really not realise that? Did you believe I was doing you a kindness?

The egos of men continue to astonish me.

[alt_rodolphus]

We were married for over twenty years, Bella. Of course I know why you do the things you do.

Then stop acting stupid and start being useful.
