Author: greenschist
Word Count: 100
Rating: PG
Characters: Lucius/Narcissa
Challenge: Retrospect
Notes: Pre-Draco
“You are not fat; you're pregnant.”
“Fat? You? No, absolutely not.”
“You have never been more beautiful than you are now.”
“You're gorgeous, ravishing, a goddess among women. The knowledge that you're carrying my child drives me insane with lust. I am the luckiest man on earth.”
Lucius could see now that any one of these responses would have been preferable to “Yes, you are looking rather fat. That will all come off after the baby is born, right?”
He tries the locked bedroom door one last time before trudging toward the guest room with his pillow under his arm.
