Millie had spent much of last week making the rounds with Mediwitch Ratchet, getting to know the routine and learn what sort of observable behavior to follow-up on. It was pretty basic stuff, which she'd done as an intern, but now, it was for real, no one else responsible for her actions but her. Mediwitch Ratchet was at the main desk for the floor, but she'd shooed Millie to make the rounds while she and the other mediwitches took a coffee break.

She quietly knocked on the door, not wanting to disturb, but knowing from the chart outside who was in the room. "Mrs. Weasley?" She came in, closing the door behind her with a quiet click. "Sorry to wake you up, but Mediwitch Ratchet asked me to check on you and Genivieve. Can you sit up?" She had a short list of things to check.

"It is all right. Millie, isn't it? Are you working in this ward now?" Fleur had met her in another area of the hospital last time. "Of course," Fleur said sitting up and tapping the bed with her wand to fix the angle to make it easier on her sore spots.

"Yes. I'm supposed to tell you to call me Apprentice Trainee Bulstrode, but that's a big mouthful, so Millie saves you the oxygen." She gave her a little smile as she pulled out her wand, running through the diagnostic spells she was to perform. "How are you feeling? Anything we should be aware of?" She glanced over at the baby. She was still asleep, all small and squashed like newborns were. She'd ask if she needed to check her as well. For all that Millie was set on being a midwife and mediwitch, babies still gave her some pause.

"Congratulations, Apprentice Trainee. Am I allowed to ask what you are training for or is it secret from ze patients?" Fleur smiled, "I am feeling very well although my thigh muscles are sore and it is still a leetle uncomfortable to use ze toilet. My back is no longer aching, but I theenk my ankles are still a leetle swollen."

She saw Millie look at Gigi, "She is latching on just fine and I am trying to make sure she gets time on both breasts. I am afraid I do not 'ave a good sense of when to switch yet because I 'ave not been able to make it equal time yet. I am beginning to tell better zough. She 'as been much quieter this morning zan yesterday but I theenk this is because she 'as mostly been sleeping when she is not nursing."

Millie ducked her head. "I'm training for a specialty as a midwife." She admitted, taking out Fleur's chart and making the proper notations of the diagnostic spells and the added info Fleur gave her. "I can see if there's any sort of cream we can give you for topical application into sore muscles if you like. Mostly just going to take a bit more time. Your body took nine months to get into this shape, some hard hours of labor aren't exactly going to return you to normal. Would you like some water? A snack?"

"With all the family coming through, it's little wonder." Millie said then winced. "Sorry, that was rude." Everyone might know the Weasley's as the clan that never ended, but it wasn't a good idea to let that on to a member, at least not in a way that would be patronizing or snide.

"That is lovely. You 'ave a good voice for it. I am afraid I was a leetle rude to one who was 'ere as a replacement for someone going off shift yesterday but her voice was awful," Fleur confessed. "I am not complaining about the muscles, only telling you because you asked. I am sure it will work itself out once I can walk and stretch a bit more between feedings and naps. I would enjoy some juice or some fruit, if that is possible."

Fleur waved it away, "It is not rude, it is true. Bill does 'ave a very large family and then their partners came along, and my parents were here alzo. The only people I theenk did not appear were our sisters and that was because they are both in school."

"Really?" Millie always thought her voice too husky, too mannish to be pleasant, but maybe the lower register was good for patients. She smiled a bit wider. "Thanks. And I know who you mean. She generally doesn't get it, unfortunately, and talks gads."

"IF you want to get up and walk around, or stretch proper-like, give the mediwitch station a buzz." Millie would hate for her to do anything to herself, however inadvertent, that might set her departure from the hospital back.

"Your sister's name was Gabrielle, right?" She recalled some of the other girls from Beauxbatons, if only because Pansy had ranted plenty about them at the time. "Just rmemeber to rest when you need to, and not to try and entertain them all with you and Genevieve."

"One tall glass of fruit juice coming up." Millie went out to the small kitchenette on the floor where they kept food and drink for staff and sometimes patients, and fixed a glass of apple juice, complete with straw, and took it back to Fleur, holding it carefully for her to drink.
