@magdalena <3 Nikolai looked up at the sky. She was right. It was early. They had a few errands to run that day, so he'd have the healer come around noon time then. It had to only be about six in the morning, and he realized just how hungry he was when he looked back down to her. "I'll owl someone to come around lunch, how's that sound?" He assumed they'd be able to see the baby, actually look at their baby. It was so scary to say that. Their baby. "Are you hungry? You need to eat something Olli...honest."
Yes, unfortunately she was still working at the club. But she couldn't. Not anymore. That was dangerous territory. What if someone tried to hurt her like they had hurt him? Then they'd be hurting the baby too. And Nikolai did not want to have to be in that situation. "You can't work there anymore, Magdalena. It's not safe. And you can't drink anymore." He knew she knew this, but he felt like it was necessary for him to say something. "You...you should talk to your brother."

Magdalena nodded. Honestly, it sounded.... nerve wracking. A healer coming today. That'd make all of this so real. Because then they'd... they'd have... proof of some sort. More proof then the spell from last night. "Yeah... okay." Lunch. Mention of the meal, and then him asking if she was hungry and should eat made her stomach turn. Not in a good way. But she also knew he was right. "Not really.... But you're right..." She admitted. She'd try to eat something at least.
Nikolai brought it up, and Magdalena swallowed. There'd always been a danger to her working at the club. Always. She'd... She'd tried to quit before. After Nikolai was stabbed. But they both knew how that had ended. This time had to be different though. Immediately Magdalena looked away, as she often did at these times. "I know..." Her brother being mentioned got her attention her though and she looked back at him with wide eyes. "I...." She started, but stopped, unable to form her thoughts into words. Her brother. They'd been estranged for months. "What am I supposed to tell him?" She asked quietly.
(we're gunna say that the Desi/Magi thread already finished and Desi already threatened Magi. That's why she was still working there.)

@magdalena <3 She seemed nervous, and Nikolai just wanted her to smile. He stood up, and grabbed her cheeks with his hands. Niko smiled at her. "Come on, I'll cook you some nice breakfast." Leaning forward he kissed her forehead and walked inside the house. He grabbed a few ingredients; flour, bananas, milk...he was going to make banana pancakes. It was something his mother had made for him when he was little, one of his favorite breakfasts.
Nikolai tilted his head at her. He'd have to tell his parents as well, and his sisters. "Just tell him the truth, Magdalena. I can go with you if you'd like. He's going to want to meet me. I know what it's like to have your little sister off with some guy...but I think I'd kill Dan if he got Irina pregnant so....I should probably watch out." Niko smiled at her, trying to lighten the mood. He began mixing the ingredients after he had started a pot of coffee. "When are you going to resign?"

Magdalena let out a sigh as she felt his lips against her forehead, closing her eyes for a moment. His enthusiasm about fixing breakfast, and scurrying off so quickly to get right on it was enough to make her smile a little. Slowly she got up, making sure to get up slowly so she didn't faint like last time. Eventually she followed him back into the kitchen, closed the patio doors behind her before taking a seat at the table as he started to mix ingredients. He's seemed pretty optimistic, saying to just tell her brother the truth, as if it was the easiest thing to do. When he went on about him needing to watch out, she started smiling again. "You're going to be in big trouble, Nikolai Krum." Her brother had half raised her. Their relationship was almost more like parent/child then brother/sister. That happened when you had older parents, and a brother twice your own age. He'd almost graduated when she was born. Telling her brother.... All of this? That was a hard pill to swallow. How would she even start? How are you? I'm doing well, just pregnant with my boyfriend's child who you are now meeting for the first time. That would go over well... "I.... I need more time... before I tell him." Hell, she needed to actually talk to him first! Whenever she worked up the courage to do that.... "I'll owl in a resignation before my next shift..." Owling it in would be better. Less chance of threats that way....

@magdalena <3 He grinned at her, trying to get his mind off the scary thoughts occurring in his head. Nikolai was being shockingly calm for all of this too. He was surprising himself, but at the same time, he was kind of happy. Yes, he felt like he was too young for a baby. But...it was a baby. Who didn't like babies? "I will be in big trouble...but I know what it's like to be the older brother. And trust me, I think I'm a pretty decent guy." Nikolai laughed. He was already bracing himself for the retaliation of her brother.
"When? Today?" His eyes widened after he put some pancake batter on the stove in a perfect circle. She was going to quit today? That wasn't good. That would put them...all three of them, in danger. Niko took a deep breath as he tried to think of all the different possibilities.

Pretty decent guy? Well, Magdalena totally and completely agreed with that statement! But her brother? Who knew what he'd think. "Decent or not, good luck convincing him that." She teased softly. "After all, you still have a hard time with Irina dating. What would you think if she was pregnant one?" Nikolai would probably try to strangle Irina if that happened. But the more she thought about it, the more unsure she was. How would her brother react? Especially after their months of estrangement? This was probably why she wasn't ready to tell him. Speaking of, they'd need to discuss who they would, and wouldn't tell.
Magdalena ran her fingers through her hair as he questioned when. After a moment's deliberation she nodded. He seemed more worried then she was, for reasons she wasn't quite sure. "Might as well get it over with, right?"

@magdalena <3 Nikolai narrowed his eyes at her. "Don't say such a thing, Magdalena. I'd murder Daniel." Of course, he wouldn't. But, he'd probably stun him or something. A good duel always helped arguments, especially those among best friends. He could see where she was going with it, especially with her brother, but then again, Nikolai wasn't her brother's best friend. "I'll be fine. At least, after his shock and anger settle in."
Get it over with? Oh, she was not going to like him. Nikolai put the pancakes on her plate and grabbed syrup, butter and a fork. He set the plate down in front of her and looked her in the eyes. "I'm owling the Headmaster, Magdalena. Whether you like it or not."

Magdalena raised an eyebrow as he gave her that look at told her not to say that. "Exactly, and you know, and like, Dan." She smiled just a little. "Don't worry, I won't let him hurt you... That much." When they told him. Whenever that was. She still needed to be on speaking terms with her brother before breaking news like this to him.
Magdalena's eyes widened as he spoke, setting the table in the same moment. The Headmaster? "Why?" Why was he going to owl Headmaster Longbottom? What possible reason could he have? She glanced down at the plate in front of her and pursed her lips slightly, her stomach still turning, now at the sight of food rather then just the thought. She didn't touch it yet, trying to work up the courage to take the first bite....

@magdalena <3 Nikolai glared at her. He knew she was just teasing him, but at the same time it was true. Niko would kill Dan just like her brother would kill him. But he was also sure Magdalena wouldn't let too much happen to him; Irina would probably do the same thing but like said prior, it was a different situation.
He sat down. "Because, Magdalena. We need somewhere safe to go. Hogwarts is safe." It was a stretch. And a big favor to ask of Professor Longbottom, but Niko wasn't sure what else to do.

@jill9
Safe... to... go...
Magdalena froze at his explanation, her eyes widening as they trained on him. She couldn't believe he was suggesting what she thought he was. That was.... insane! "It's safe here, Nikolai." She urged him. Yes, the club was... dangerous. Yes, he'd gotten hurt, almost killed there. Yes, she'd even been threatened by one of the other dancers the last time she'd tried to quit. But that didn't mean they'd actually do anything, did it? They.... she didn't believe they'd be capable of doing anything like that,. They... they couldn't be. She'd worked with them. She knew them. "It's fine. Nothing will happen."
She looked back down at the pancakes, and was frowning now. From his desire to write to the Headmaster, and there being food in front of her. She knew though that she needed to try to eat at least some of it. Especially after he'd gone through the trouble of fixing it. "You're going to eat some of these, right?"

@magdalena <3 "We're safe here... For now Magdalena. The second you send that owl saying you've quit, is when this house isn't safe anymore." It was a terrible thing to say, but it was true. Nikolai's house wasn't hidden, and if someone really wanted to find him, they easily could without any issues. Maybe Magi didn't know that, or she didn't want to know that.
Nikolai's eyes looked down at the pancakes and he nodded his head. Of course he'd eat them, but he desperately needed her to eat first. The... The baby needed food.

Magdalena had a hard time believing what he said. About it not being safe when she quit. He was... He was just being cautious. Over thinking this whole thing. The bad thing though? Magi had a bad habit of under thinking. It was how she'd gotten herself in the whole 'Club Indigo' mess to begin with. "I don't think they'll do anything, Nikolai." She mentioned softly. There was a part of her though that..... that didn't believe her own words. That knew he was right, even though she didn't want to admit it.
She let out a sigh as he nodded, but made no move to take any of the food, waiting for her probably. Looks like he wasn't going to let her out of eating. She swallowed, hoping it'd make the nausea pass, before finally taking one of the pancakes. She wasn't going to risk putting anything on it, just in case. Tearing of a small piece of the pancake, she popped it into her mouth, cringing just a little before chewing and swallowing quickly. One bite down, many more to go...

@magdalena <3 A large sigh escaped his lips. Why couldn't she just say they were bad people like they both knew they were? "Of course you don't think it, Magdalena. But you know it. I'm owling the Headmaster whether you like it or not." His tone was bitter and annoyed. Nikolai knew she just didn't want to leave, but he didn't either. It was a necessity. He had her and his own child to protect now; he'd do anything.
Niko watched as she ate a small bite of the banana pancake and he nodded his head, urging her to continue. He wasn't sure how strong the nausea was, but as long as she ate a bit he'd be happy.

Magdalena looked away, frowning once more. Why did Nikolai have to be right? None of them knew she was living with Nikolai now though, so they shouldn't have to worry... Right? Only problem, he was a famous Quidditch player. Someone at the club might have recognized him from the times he was there with her. So they'd know he was the one she was dating. She chose not to comment though, knowing it'd be a pointless argument. Nikolai had made up his mind already.
His nod, to continue eating was met with the smallest of scowls. One bite was good enough, right? After a moment she sighed and forced herself to take a second bite.

@magdalena <3 Nikolai was glad she stayed quiet. He knew she might be upset about it, but there wasn't really anything else he could do. He wasn't going to put himself, her, and their child in danger. All Nikolai knew was that they had to do something. Hogwarts was safe, and he highly doubted that the Headmaster would refuse them. Especially since Magdalena was pregnant.
Magdalena ate another bite, and Nikolai grabbed a pancake for himself and began eating it. He loved banana pancakes. They were his favorite, and he hoped Magi liked them...this was the first time he had made them in a long time.
