Peter laughed. "Don't be daft. Of course not." The prospect of anyone hating his sweet, affable, role-model of a girlfriend was beyond ludicrous.

Jess sighed. "Whatever you say." She rubbed her stomach, feeling almost disgusted with herself, and stood up. "I'm not hungry anymore. I'm just going to go back to my Common Room. Or something."

Peter stood up quickly. "D'you want me to come with you. I'm not hungry either. If you'd like, we could go over some of the panphlets together--or you could give me that book you wanted me to read." He didn't quite want to leave Jess alone at the moment.

"Ummm...if you really want. There's another book I wanted to look at too." Jess straightened out her robes, looking visibly annoyed at how tight her shirt was on her. There goes her waistline...her perfect little figure...

"Alright. Let's go," said Peter, wrinkling his brow at Jess's miffed expression. "We'll go to your Common Room," he said, putting an arm cheerily around her shoulders (her waist was a bit uncomfortable now).

Jess nodded and avoided everyone's stares (though she was imagining most of them) as she walked out and down into the dungeons. She was still much smaller than she should be for being 19 or so weeks along, almost unhealthily so, but she couldn't help but feel that she was still huge. When they got to the Common Room, she dashed up quickly to her dorm and returned with two books, handing one to Peter and curling up with the other one on the couch. As she read, she took her wand out and started swishing it around as though practicing a spell.

Peter began to read when he looked up and smiled slightly. "What's that you're practicing?" he asked innocently, taking a seat on Jess's couch. "Something for your classes?"

Jess shook her head. "No...there's a few spells in here that I think might help me. Pomfrey says there's nothing I can do to hide this awful bump, but I beg to differ." She flipped through a few pages before pointing. "Ha! There we go. 'How to get rid of an unwanted bump'. I knew she was just trying to torture me." She looked around to make sure nobody else was around before standing up and pointing her wand at her stomach. "Negato fertiliam" A small little zap made her stomach twinge, but when she looked down there was no difference. She frowned. "Didn't work..."

Peter's eyes widened. "Jess--" he breathed, getting up and snatching the wand out of her hand. He put his hand on her stomach carefully, no idea what he was looking for. "You can't--it's not--don't--" His words were spastic fragments. He had no idea what to say. He had no idea what to think, save for that Jess needed to be duct taped for the remainder of her pregnancy.

"What? I'm-" Jess placed her hand on her stomach as well, feeling a little queasy. "I'm fine...ooo that's odd." There was a pressure on her lower abdomen, but not like the kick from before. She took a seat slowly and starteed breathing deeply. She felt a few cramping pains in her lower stomach and whimpered a bit, shutting her eyes tight.

Peter's heart stopped beating. Good god. "I'm taking you to the Hospital Wing," he said, picking up Jess (she was still fairly small, after all), and striding out of the Common Room, panicked.

"No, no, she'll just-ow ow ow!" Jess gripped her stomach, feeling a surge of pain run over her. "What did I do wrong? I-owww!" She started crying a little, the pain growing more and more intense.

Peter, growing more afraid now, began to almost run towards the Hospital Wing. "Just...hold on, Jess. Hold on for just a few more minutes--Madame Pomfrey'll know what to do."
Ray, who was heading out of the Great Hall with Desiree, blinked as Peter went rushing past. "Hey..."

Jess took no notice of Ray, or even what Petter had said. All she knew was that she was in the most intense pain that she had ever felt and she just wanted it to stop.
Desiree's eyes went wide as the two ran past. "Oh Merlin..." She grabbed onto Ray's arm. "Did you see that? She had blood dripping down her leg..."

OOC: I'm a bit fuzzy. She's not going to have the baby now, is she? Like a premature birth?
"C'mon," answered Ray, taking Desiree's hand and following Peter.
Peter, breathless, set Jess down for a moment and half-gasped, half-bellowed what had happened to her to Madame Pomfrey, who rose immediately and rushed to see Jess.
