[Who?] Bess Fawcett and Jen Scabior.
[Where?] St Mungo's Maternity Ward dundundun
[Rating?] PG
[Why?] Why not?

Jen waddled into St. Mungo's her hand on her lower back and she huffed a moment. The walking was good for her but she hated it. Everything was taxing; she was ready for her baby girl to come out already. Her appointments had been bumped up to every week now and she watched the other women with their husbands jealously for a moment and then blew it off. Chester was busy and she knew it and she got the feeling he wasn't exactly interested in the baby since they had found it was a girl. She shrugged. There was time to give Chester an heir. They had the rest of their lives.

She waddled up the stairs and into the maternity section and checked in and sat down and waited for her name to be called. She looked at ring and sighed wistfully. There were days, like today where she wondered if she shouldn't of married Chester and just done the single man thing and listened to Bess. Her thoughts wandered as Bess' words lingered on her mind and jumped ten feet when she saw her sitting across the room from her.

She piped up quietly and said, "Bess he's not here," and grabbed her arm. It upset her still that Bess and she weren't on the best talking terms. She stood up slowly. "I promise. He's...at work or whatever." Truth be told he had never come to an appointment with her but she wasn't going to let that be known.

A foot popped up against her stomach and she winced. Jen was petite and the baby was beating the hell out of her. She had forgotten that her sister-in-law had been kidnapped. "He won't be showing up either." Jen was trying to comfort Bess, knowing how uncomfortable she was with her husband and let go of her arm not wanting her to feel like Jen was holding her against her will. "You're pregnant?"

Bess froze at Jen's touch. Who was she to be touching her that way? She recoiled immediately once her arm was free and Bess smoothed down her cloak, glad for the extra padding it provided her. The only people outside of herself and Drystan who knew about the baby were her brother and sister, Penelope, and Noah Boot. Well--and their healer, of course. Bess certainly did not want to add Chester Scabior's wife to that list, so she bristled.

"No," she stated stiffly, looking down at the woman, "My brother's working the maternity ward today and I'm waiting to go to lunch." Her eyes narrowed, as if daring Jen to ask any more questions.

She raised an eyebrow, "Somehow I doubt that. You'd just meet him at lunch if that were the case." She bit on her lower lip again, "I would at least like Sadie and our little girl to know each other. They will be half sisters."

Jen thought she was saying the right thing, she was trying to be friendly. Bess had been one of her closest friends in Hogwarts and it wasn't fair that her husband was driving them apart. She pushed a hand through her hair, unaware of what she had done.
