Brianna!
She wanted to throw up because she was throwing up.

Eliza walked as quickly as she could through the corridors of St. Mungo's, attempting to look busy or in a hurry. Which she technically was. She and Brianna only had a short amount of time with the free examination room, and Eliza wasn't sure if she could trust anyone else in the hospital to not tell Dedalus (or the healers she'd been seeing since the attack) that she was getting ill. Brianna would definitely be able to figure out what was wrong, and if she couldn't then she would approach other people. There was no reason to get anyone upset or worried when it was just a bug, or a poor reaction to something.

A lurch in her stomach made her skid to a halt, and Eliza looked frantically around the empty corridor for a place to get sick. Oh bother.

After a few nauseating minutes in a broom closet, Eliza disposed of the bag she'd managed to latch onto, and pulled herself into the examination room, ready to topple over from the sickness and the exertion of nearly sprinting across the hospital.

"We need to figure this out," she groaned, slumping into a chair beside the examination table; she definitely did not feel like she could push herself up on it.

Brianna had jumped at the sparks as well, but they weren't the sparks that were coming out of Eliza's vial that she had been shocked by. Instead, she found herself looking at the vial to the left, the other vial, the one that was hers, which had taken to exploding in white less than a second after the other one had. Which meant---well no, no she didn't know what it meant. Unless that it meant that she had gotten a faulty potion, because---because she was not pregnant! How could she be? She hadn't had any symptoms at all, she was always careful, she and Zach had never--

---but neither had Eliza and Dedalus, and the evidence was right in front of her that being careful had nothing to do with this.

Oh god. Brianna had not been prepared for this.

She stared dumbly at the vials on the counter for a long time. Or maybe it wasn't a long time, because she was pretty sure her heart had stopped dead in her chest and if that was true she wouldn't still be sitting up, so maybe just a couple of seconds, but it felt like a century with the realization echoing through her head that she was going to have a baby. It didn't seem real, or possible, or right at all. This was supposed to be Eliza, not her---and certainly not both of them!

Brianna finally turned to meet Eliza's teary face and realized suddenly that she was crying too and she quickly grasped onto the other girl as if for dear life. How had this happened?
