the darkest night | hicsqueak | the worst witch 2017

chapter thirty-seven

 "I'm really excited to see our baby for the first time, Hiccup," Pippa spoke, laying in bed as she watched Hecate apply makeup in her bathroom. "It's great that you're able to have your mediwitch come here so you don't have to take any time off of work to have the ultrasound."

Hecate nodded. She finished putting on her lipstick. "I must agree although it was a hassle to get her to come here. I'm grateful she didn't inquire as to why I required my final two ultrasounds to be here," Hecate responded. She came back into the bedroom so Pippa could get ready for the day. Pippa was going to fly back to her academy right after the ultrasound first thing in the morning. The doctor was due to be at the academy in less than an hour.

Pippa got out of bed. She was naked and Hecate's eyes wandered down to Pippa's perfect breasts. Just last night she had been holding those breasts. "Eyes are up here, Hiccup," Pippa joked. Hecate smiled softly. She was more nervous about this ultrasound as she hadn't been able to schedule one after the founding stone incident.

"Are you nervous, Hec?" Pippa asked, her tone gentling. She went to Hecate. Hecate nodded. "Our baby will be perfect no matter what."

She held both of Hecate's hands and kissed her gently.

Soon it was time for Hecate's ultrasound before the first class of the day. Hecate had barely eaten her breakfast and she knew that she would be paying for it come lunchtime when she would be hungrier than normal. The doctor would be coming in any minute. Ada had gone to meet the witch for Hecate so Hecate could try to finish her breakfast. Instead, she had only been able to get one more bite of egg in her stomach before pushing the plate away.

Hecate sat on her bed when the doctor knocked on the door. The witch entered.

"Well met, Miss Hardbroom. How have you been feeling lately?" Dr. Underwood asked. She began to get the potions she would need in order to do the ultrasound projection spell.

"I've been feeling decent lately. Although the bad sleeping pattern persists," Hecate answered truthfully. "I have been having a series of bad days before I finally have a good one without flashbacks."

"That is normal. Many pregnant women can have bad days," the doctor responded. "How have the pregnancy symptoms been?"

"The cravings are in full swing and my breasts have swelled," Hecate answered. "I have been feeling nauseous some days but I did read that it is normal for morning sickness to continue throughout pregnancy for some women."

"You are correct in your reading. Your breasts will continue to grow larger to accommodate breastfeeding if you wish to do so with your child," Dr. Underwood spoke. "I would like for you to lie down, Miss Hardbroom, and raise your shirt up."

Pippa sat down next to Hecate as the witch raised up her shirt as required. The mediwitch applied the potions that were needed and soon, a baby was projected above Hecate's baby bump.

Hecate smiled upon seeing her child.

"The baby is about thirteen inches right now and weighs around a thousand grams give or take," the doctor announced. "The baby is a bit small for your development, Miss Hardbroom, but there is no need for concern. The baby will gain more weight during the final month of pregnancy. Expect to gain more weight yourself."

"Could we find out the gender?" Hecate question. She was relieved her baby was healthy and that transferring seemed to have had no effect on the fetus.

"Of course," the doctor responded. She zoomed in on the ultrasound image. "If your baby will allow me to see if they are a baby boy or a baby girl."

Hecate bit back a snicker. Pippa couldn't and laughed. It was well known between the couple how stubborn Hecate could be.

"Congratulations," Dr. Underwood announced. "You are expecting a baby girl, Miss Hardbroom. Would you like images from this ultrasound?"

"Please," Hecate responded. A baby girl. Her gut instinct had been correct in that she was carrying a little girl. She watched as the baby girl kicked inside her mother on the ultrasound. The mediwitch captured a few images and put them on the nightstand next to Hecate's bed. She ended the spell.

"Now, have you thought about how you would like to give birth, Miss Hardbroom?" The doctor inquired.

"I have not given it much thought. Will I be able to tell you my plan at the final ultrasound before I am due to give birth?"

"Of course but if you send it as a document for your file in writing, I would much prefer that so I can look it over," the doctor responded. Dr. Underwood put away her supplies. "I will see you for your final ultrasound. Would you like to have it here again? The afternoon would be much better I think on your schedule so you do not need to rise so early in the morning."

"That would be nice. I will send word of when I would like to have my next ultrasound. When should I schedule it?" Hecate was a bit clueless, although she wouldn't admit it, about her pregnancy. She was learning as quickly as she could devour the information.

"Between thirty-two and thirty-six weeks. It will be in about a month or so," the doctor answered. "I will see you then. Please send me the date and I will be able to give you a time that I can come here."

Hecate nodded. "Thank you," she said. Dr. Underwood left. Hecate broke into a grin once the doctor had left.

"I'm carrying a daughter!" She spoke. Pippa had never heard Hecate this excited before and it was amazing. Pippa hugged her tightly.

"Our daughter," Pippa mused. "We will have to find her a name." Hecate nodded eagerly.
