It had happened again.

Somehow weeks had gone by since Lavender and Marlow had managed a day to see each other. She didn't understand how it had happened, somehow both of their schedules working completely against them.

This was the last thing Lavender needed, especially after the attack and how it affected her body. Marlow had hoped that the pregnancy would be the end of all of that.
