Banks was unable, this time, to hold back his laughter. He could picture her now. Trying to waddle up stairs, or down for that matter. But then again, that brought worry to him. She was much more prone to fall while pregnant, and that was the worst time to fall.
"But at least you'll be a beautiful, 'pleasantly plump', pregnant woman." he said, almost more on the side of a question/statement than compliment.

The same thoughts were plummeting through Tamis' mind at that precise moment, so much so that she forgot to glower at Banks for the sudden burst of laughter at her soon-to-be disadvantage. Well, it was a very good thing both her office and classroom were on the second floor. Getting to the chambers would be another manner however. Stairs...
At his comment, she did come back to him, however, gaze at last narrowing into slits. But it was a glare quite different from the one she used on disgruntled students.
"Hmph... quick save, my love. A complete and utter lie, but a very quick save."

Banks couldn't help but laugh. Just imagining her was amusing. "Ah, but only a lie through certain eyes." he returned, and kissed her cheek.
Thinking for a moment, he wondered about wizard hospitals compared to muggle ones. He knew during pregnancies, muggles often got ultrasounds to see the baby..
"Do wizard hospitals do ultrasounds? Or is that just a muggle thing, and wizards do something else.." he asked. Of course, he was not even sure if she knew what an ultrasound was.

"I knew there was a reason I married you," she stated fondly as he planted a kiss lightly on her cheek, which she returned.
Then, he hit the bullseye right on the time. The dumbfounded look of bewilderment that overcame her expression was enough on its own to answer his unspoken question. Alas, how ignorant she was of the world beyond the magical. Tamis did not have the slightest clue what an "ultrasound" was.
"Quite certain we don't use this 'ultrasound' business. Sounds painful."

Banks smiled at her first comment. "There's only one reason??" he questioned, putting on a sad face but smirking underneith.
He couldn't help but laugh a bit at her comment. "No I don't think they hurt. Somehow sound waves travel through the woman's stomach and then are transfered and we can see them on a screen. So you can see the baby." Banks told her.

"Preposterous." She stated, astounded. No did not sound painful if she thought sound waves were what she thought she did, but it was still relatively disturbing. Being able to see inside her stomach?
Her hand floated subconsciously to her middle. Muggle medicine was barbaric. End. Of. Story.
"Do we don't have anything of that sort that I know of. But healers can check the baby's health in other manners, as well as gender when it develops enough. I do not believe I can rightfully explain it."
She shifted her feet and wrapped the cloak closer about herself if it was possible. "But Merlin, it is freezing."

Banks laughed at her face when he told her about the ultrasound. He could tell Tamis was coming to resent Muggle Medicine more and more. One day he'll have to take her to a muggle hospital, just to experience it.
At her mention of the coldness, he frowned. "Sorry, dear, I forgot about your poor feet." he said. "Let's get inside.." with that, he scooped her up and watched his step around the roots.
