Brianna!
She wanted to throw up because she was throwing up.

Eliza walked as quickly as she could through the corridors of St. Mungo's, attempting to look busy or in a hurry. Which she technically was. She and Brianna only had a short amount of time with the free examination room, and Eliza wasn't sure if she could trust anyone else in the hospital to not tell Dedalus (or the healers she'd been seeing since the attack) that she was getting ill. Brianna would definitely be able to figure out what was wrong, and if she couldn't then she would approach other people. There was no reason to get anyone upset or worried when it was just a bug, or a poor reaction to something.

A lurch in her stomach made her skid to a halt, and Eliza looked frantically around the empty corridor for a place to get sick. Oh bother.

After a few nauseating minutes in a broom closet, Eliza disposed of the bag she'd managed to latch onto, and pulled herself into the examination room, ready to topple over from the sickness and the exertion of nearly sprinting across the hospital.

"We need to figure this out," she groaned, slumping into a chair beside the examination table; she definitely did not feel like she could push herself up on it.

She knew this trick, but holy hell was she happy Brianna had suggested it. All the nurses giggled and kept tally of how many negative pregnancy tests they had to take, and Eliza had never been able to understand how it could help the patient. But as she nodded quickly, not giving Brianna a second to take back her offer, Eliza was now sure that this was the way to calm a person down. Brianna wasn't pregnant, but she was still willing to go through the tests to 'make sure,' like Eliza should be doing. Right. Right! There was no need to worry about a test. If she was pregnant, the test wasn't going to stop that.

Okay.

Oh God.

They administered the tests quickly, and Eliza dropped back into her chair. Her elbows dug into her thighs as her hands covered her eyes, and she was silently praying for a negative result. Negative because--they were too young for this. They were both just finishing their internships, Dedalus was not only going to be a healer but was an Order member as well, so just---if the death eaters were attacking her, they would attack their baby, too! Oh, oh no, she couldn't bring a baby into this world, not when their flat was still being repaired from the last attack, not when it was just getting worse and worse!

The sound of sparks made her jump, and her hands slipped down to her lap. There it was. Bright white sparks, indicating that she was indeed pregnant. Eliza hadn't even felt the tears come pouring out of her eyes, and only noticed them when she turned to Brianna and couldn't see her because of her blurred vision. She was pregnant.
