The following months were rather boring for Bella due to the fact Tom had restricted Bella's activity so most days she sat in bed re-reading books. Narcissa and Anastasia had started dragging Bella with them to go robe shopping. On the odd occasion, Bella would purchase larger robes, as she discovered her usual ones no longer fit.
That afternoon Bellatrix sat in the Malfoy library reading when she had a thought, She stood up hastily and made her way to her husband's office. On arrival, she didn't knock and just strode and perched herself on her husband's desk. Tom lifted his head slightly. " Have you heard of knocking," Tom asked jokingly? Bellatrix smirked. Two could play at that game and Bella happened to be very good at that game.
"Well it has just occurred to me, that we are married," Bellatrix replied," so I shouldn't have to knock." Tom shook his head but pulled his wife onto his lap and kissed her forehead. Bella relaxed into the embrace. Whenever she was with him she felt loved and happy. She had a similar feeling when she was with her sisters and Anna.
"Tom we haven't thought of any names yet," Bella said, resting Tom's hand on her swollen stomach. Tom sighed he hadn't been spending enough time with his wife recently.
"If it's a girl can we call her Walburga?" Bella asked.
Tom frowned.
"If we have a daughter we are not calling her bloody Walburga, Bella," Tom replied. Bella pouted. "But Tom she practically raised me."
Bella glanced around and noticed that Anna was sat in the corner smirking to herself as she watched the scene unfold in front of her.
"I'll help, give me a letter!" Anna exclaimed as she continued to knit something pink
"H," Tom replied.
"Harriet."
"No," Tom said
"Holly?"
"Nice but no," Tom replied.
"Hermione?"
"Yes," Bella exclaimed. "I'll Yes, Hermione is a beautiful name!"
"I am glad we finally found a name," Tom replied.
"For a middle name can we call her Walburga," Bella asked.
"No," Tom said bluntly.
