Magdalena couldn't have been out for long. A minute maybe, before cold water was dumped on her, jolting her awake. Her eyes fluttered, and she groaned softly. Everything was still spinning, her head felt nauseatingly light, and she was completely disoriented. It took a few moments for her to realize what had happened. She'd passed out.... Another moment and the room finally stopped spinning, and Nikolai came into focus. He looked.... terrified, standing over her with a glass in his hands. "Nikolai...?" She murmured under her breath. She could still feel her heart racing, but despite it's fast pace it felt... wrong. Almost weak. Is that what had happened..? Blood pressure or something like that. She'd heard once that low blood pressure could lead to dizziness and fainting.

@magdalena <3 Finally! Her eyes opened! Nikolai's eyes widened and he dropped the glass on the floor, kneeling in front of her and putting his hands on her cheeks. He shook her head a bit, still a nervous wreck. "Magdalena!" He shouted in her face, looking into her eyes trying to see what was wrong with her. What was wrong? Nikolai's hands stayed on her cheeks, and he just stared at her, not speaking, thoughts running through his head. Not eating...not sleeping well...dizziness and fainting...his body began moving up and down excessively fast. That couldn't happen...no, it couldn't...

Other then her name, Nikolai didn't say anything. He looked thoroughly freaked out. Well.... considering she'd just blacked out, she didn't blame him much. She took a deep breath, trying to calm her racing, but not really pounding, heart. She then closed her eyes. "It's fine, just.... just got up too quickly..." She muttered, trying to explain away the fainting spell. It wasn't serious, couldn't be. Just a bug. Couldn't be anything else. But he still looked totally and completely panicked, as if he knew something she didn't... "Just... let me up... It's okay..." She continued, as she moved to try and sit up regardless of what he said. Her head started to swim immediately.

@magdalena <3 His eyes narrowed at her and he became slightly angry. It was mixed with worry and he didn't want ... what he was thinking of to be true. Nikolai's moved backwards, sitting on his feet as she tried to get up. However, she didn't move all that much as he could tell she was still dizzy. Niko held up his hands. "No! Don't move. I'll be right back."
He ran up the stairs as fast as he could, skipping a few. He went into his office and opened up a few books, skimming them quickly. If...if what he thought was true, there were still some things that she could take. Quickly, Nikolai opened up the cabinet in his office and grabbed a vial; nausea medicine.
He skipped back downstairs and fell onto his knees in front of her, shoving it in front of her face. "Drink it, Magdalena. Now." His voice was stern, letting her know he was being serious about all of this. He tilted his head. "How long have you been nauseous? When did you have your last period? Are you late?" His eyes widened.

Magdalena, for some reason, stopped moving the moment he ordered her not to. She didn't know why, just that... something about his tone made her hesitate to continue. She just lay back down with a groan. He was completely over reacting. He was gone only a few moments, bounding up the stairs in a hurry, and then racing back down them not long after with that same urgency in his steps. Soon he was kneeling in front of her again, shoving a vial in her face. She sighed, sitting up enough to take the vial from him. "You're overreacting." She muttered, but none the less she uncorked it and tipped the contents into her mouth. She grimaced as she swallowed, shook her head, and lay back down. She'd recognize that taste anywhere. It was for nausea. She'd taken it multiple times during her more... excessive drinking days. Then he launched into a series of questions and she sighed, closing her eyes. He wasn't going to let it go, was he? "Few days..." The question about her period though had her eyes opened once more, fixing him with a confused look. "I... a week maybe? It's not that strange.... Why?" What was he getting at?

@magdalena <3 He glared at her, but was glad that she drank the vial. "I am not overreacting, Magdalena. You're underreacting." He shook his head at her, his nose scrunched up. Hm. Nauseous a few days. Period was...late?!. And...they'd had their date a few weeks ago. His heart was stuck in his throat. Oh gosh was this happening or was she messing with him again? Nikolai shut his eyes, counting in his head. His eyes shot open. "Have you been taking your pills, Magdalena?" His last question became quieter, so that by the end he was whispering her name. No, it wasn't very strange, but the way she was feeling was...incredibly strange.

Magdalena groaned again, and covered her eyes with her hand. She wasn't even going to dignify his words with an answer. He obviously felt something was wrong with her, let himself over it, and just find out it was a bug the entire time. She grumbled under her breath, but her words weren't understandable, but it did sound a bit like swearing and 'this is ridiculous'. Though soft, his next words got her attention. Really got her attention. She moved her hand away from her eyes, her eyes wide as she stared at him. He wasn't suggesting what she thought he was... Was he...? "Of course I'm bloody taking them!" She sounded extremely defensive, as if angry he'd even suggest she wasn't. He didn't honestly think she wasn't taking them, did he?

@magdalena <3 Magdalena was mumbling under her breath and Nikolai shook his head at her, grumbling himself. She was not making any of this easy, such a pain. He stood up, letting go of her, running his hand through his hair and walking aimlessly around the room. He was trying to figure out that spell...it was lingering on the tip of his tongue. Her yelling at him was not helping. He groaned, shutting his eyes, racking his brain for the word. Finally! There it was. Nikolai turned around to her, pulled his wand out of his back pocket, and pointed it towards her stomach. He spoke the spell quietly, watching as a small puff of smoke appeared above her. It took a minute or two, and finally, there was the word.
Pregnant.
He dropped his wand, his eyes staring widely at the cloud.

Magdalena took a deep breath, and finally forced herself into an upright position, despite the dizziness that followed. He was pacing again, so, she propped a pillow behind her. Might as well get comfortable while she waited it out. Could be a while, he seemed pretty lost in his thoughts right now. Eventually he turned back to her.... with his wand out. "The hell?" He was pointing it right at her! What was he thinking! He still cast the spell, and she gasped as smoke appeared. What was he doing? What sort o spell was that? He looked as if he was... waiting for something. She tilted her head back to look at the cloud of smoke, just in time to catch that word before it broke apart and disappeared.
Pregnant.
No. That wasn't.... That couldn't be! Magdalena's blood ran cold, and she stopped breathing. "That's-" She tried to speak, but her voice cracked, and there was a sudden tightness in her chest, probably from the lack of breathing. She finally mustered a shaky breath. "Impossible...."

@magdalena <3 Nikolai looked from the spot where the cloud was, down to Magi, then down to her stomach. There was... a little human in there. A little baby. Niko wasn't even sure if he's ever seen a real baby, let alone held one before. And now... He was going to have one?!
Nikolai took a deep breath, and fell to his knees. He stared at her belly. What were they going to do.

Nikolai wasn't saying anything. Anything. Just... Just staring. At her, and at her stomach where.... Oh she felt sick just thinking about it, her ace turning a light shade of green. This couldn't be happening. No. No, no, no. She was 18! She wasn't ready for any of this! To be pregnant. To... to have a baby! The longer she thought about it, the faster her breathing became.
And he was still staring in complete silence!
Magdalena immediately pulled her legs up against her chest, wrapping her arms around them tightly, as if to hide her stomach from view. "Stop staring!" She didn't mean to be snappy, but for probably the first time in her entire lie she felt self conscious about her body....

@magdalena <3 His eyes were turned away from her belly as she brought her legs up to her chest and snapped at him. Nikolai jumped, not expecting that reaction from her. Then again, he wasn't really sure what he was expecting. Frustration maybe, and some tears. But he couldn't tell with her. His eyes narrowed slightly. "What do you expect me to do, Magdalena? Stare at the damn wall? There's-there's a baby in there!" He pointed to her stomach as his voice became louder. He was just as upset as she was. "I thought you said you took your pills!"

Magdalena pulled her legs in even tighter, her breathing was almost hyperventilation at this point, and her hands were starting to shake a little. Fear. Shock. Disbelief. All emotions rushing through her body like a hurricane. One emotion didn't last more then a few seconds before the next wave came. It didn't help that he was now starting to raise his voice more and more. "The wall is better then me!" She hated how he was looking at her, as if.... as if something was different. But something was. And then, he accused her of not taking the birth control. All the fear, shock and disbelief turned to anger and pain. "I have been!" Her voice raised a bit, though not to much considering her frantic breathing. "What, you don't believe me?"

@magdalena <3 Nikolai kept his eyes narrowed. He wasn't sure what to believe. If she was taking the pills, this wouldn't have happened right? Unless she missed one or two, than that could have definitely made an affect on it. And it wasn't like she was doing anything or taking anything that would counteract the birth control. So how? How did this happen? Nikolai rubbed his eyes, finally stopping his staring. But... She couldn't be so upset, she couldn't be so angry. "Magdalena you've got to calm down... Stress isn't good for the baby..." His voice was quiet, his eyes staring at his shoes. Niko was in a state of shock.

Nikolai wasn't the only one trying to come up with some explanation to this. It shouldn't have been possible. Her mind was reeling. Did she miss any days? She tried to retrace her days, to think if there were any mornings she might have missed it, that she might have forgotten. One morning came to mind, but even then she wasn't sure. She couldn't remember. It was the day after their date. Did she take it that morning? Or had they just been unlucky? Birth control wasn't perfect. Sometimes it didn't work. Or... or had she gotten the wrong kind? Had she somehow gotten one that wouldn't work on her? Each scenario only made her more terrified and... well, stressed! Her eyes were wide as saucers, frantically dashing back and forth as she ran through her thoughts. But it as Nikolai's words that finally ripped her away from her thoughts, and she looked up at him in her own shock. She swallowed, before trying to take a deep breath, only it came out shaky and frantic. She ran her fingers through her hair, still just as panicked. "Stop saying that!" That.... that word. Baby. he more he said it, the more real it felt.
