It was just a few days before the school term was to start. Rochelle knew that her parents and brother were going to be out today, getting Herni's school supplies for the year. She and Felix had gone to Diagon alley and gotten all their supplies the moment the list came out... so they could have the house to themselves for awhile.
She'd snuck him in and up to her room once she was sure the coast was clear. It wasn't that her parents didn't like Felix... her dad liked him quit a bit, but her mother was still very much trying to get her into an arranged marriage, with families in higher places.
Rochelle was kissing Felix deeply. Already she'd gotten his shirt off and was running her hands over his bare chest. Her blouse was half unbuttoned, showing all of her cleavage. "Je t'aime, Félix. Je t'aime tellement," she whispered in his ear as she moved from his lips to his neck.
She sat up a little and smiled at him. "J'ai quelque chose d'important à vous dire." Rochelle brushes some hair out of her face and bit her lip, trying to think of how to tell him. She lay down next to him, wrapping an arm around him. She might as well tell him the whole story. "Il ya trois jours, quand je faisais mes tournées inter avec Guérisseur Slater ... Je ne faisais pas bien, se sentir très malade. En après-midi, je courais pour la salle de bain toutes les dix minutes et de tomber malades. Alors, monsieur Slater a moi aller dans une pièce et il a fait un examen sur moi. Félix, je suis enceinte."
She was smiling brightly, obviously happy about the news. Rochelle looked at his reaction, hoping he wasn't angry.

After the news had been given and some more kissing took place, Rochelle heard the front door open. She sat up and grabbed Felix's shirt for him to put on, then buttoned up her own shirt. "Cacher!" He didn't need to be found shirtless in her room. Then her parents wouldn't like him much at all. And if they found out that she was pregnant....
Rochelle gave Felix one last look before leaving her room, shutting the door most of the way but not all the way to see who it was. It was her mother, looking very angry on her way up the stairs. "Mère? Quel est le problème?"
"Pourquoi Guérisseur Slater juste me donner ces derniers à vous donner?" her mother tossed her a bottle of prenatal vitamins.
Rochelle caught the bottle and looked scared as soon as she noticed what they were. "Mère, s'il vous plaît." She was hit across the face with a hard back hand.
The girl held her face where she was hit and tears welled up in her eyes. She was hoping that Felix wasn't watching... but hiding somewhere in her room unaware of what just happened.
"Vous êtes enceinte? Comment pourriez-vous honte de votre famille ainsi? Ma fille ne sera pas me faire ça!" And she slammed Rochelle into the wall. Rocelle's eye flickered for a moment when her head was slammed into the wall. "Vous n'êtes pas ma fille. Elle est morte pour moi." And she let go of Rochelle at the wall, and kicked her in the stomach, making Rochelle go down the stairs.
Rochelle was still trying to catch her breath when she was kicked down the stairs. She left herself beginning to black out. But her father came in the door. His wife had been gone longer than she said she would be. She'd only forgotten her pocket book so he came back to see what was taking her so long. But he saw Rochelle on the floor and bent down to see her. "Mon doux Rochelle, ce qui est arrivé? Etes-vous d'accord?"
Rochelle groaned as she was being talked to. "Père ... Je ... J'ai trébuché sur mon pied et tomba dans les escaliers." And she passed out.
Translation:
1. I love you, Felix. I love you so much.
2. I have something important to tell you.
3. Three days ago, when I was doing my inter rounds with Healer Slater... I wasn't doing well, feeling very sick. By the afternoon I was running to the bathroom every ten minutes and getting sick. So, Mr. Slater had me go into a room and he did an exam on me. Felix, I'm pregnant.
4. Hide!
5. Mother? What's Wrong?
6. Why did Healer Slater just give me these to give to you?
7. Mother, please
8. You are pregnant? How could you disgrace your family so? My daughter will not do this to me!
9. You are not my daughter. She is dead to me.
10. My sweet Rochelle, what's happened? Are you alright?
11. Father... I ... I tripped on my foot and fell down the stairs.
