So Much for No Strings Attached

Chapter 74 A Gilded Prison

‘That is to be expected and is a good sign,’ Whitehead said. ‘Your baby is rapidly developing so is needing a lot of nutrients and energy from you.’

 

‘Are you on any potions, or have you taken any potions over the last six weeks?’ asked Whitehead.

 

Ginny scowled, ‘I’m not an addict!’

 

‘It is a standard question,’ Whitehead said placatingly.

 

‘Have you sustained any injuries that could affect the foetus?’ asked Whitehead.

 

Ginny shook her head, ‘no.’

 

‘In the last six weeks have you performed any high-powered magic?’ asked Whitehead.

 

‘No,’ Ginny said again.

 

‘Has your diet or sleep schedule changed in the last six weeks?’ asked Whitehead.

 

Ginny shrugged, ‘I don’t know.’

 

‘Are there any hereditary illnesses in your family?’ asked Whitehead.

 

Ginny frowned and then shrugged, ‘I don’t think so.’

 

Whitehead then performed his own medical check specifically in regard to her baby/

 

‘Both babies seem to be progressing as normal,’ Whitehead said.

 

‘Both?’ Ginny squeaked.

Flint, however, seemed pleased, ‘twins. That is a good sign.’

 

‘Yes, two boys,’ Whitehead said. ‘I will see you in four weeks. I’ll send you the prescriptions. Floo me if there are any worries.’
