Title: Unabashed
Summary: Live in a world of hookers, druggies and homeless Harry and Fiona Gallagher faces the long years of handling taking care of all the kids Frank and Monica pop out.
Keeping them fed, clean, clothed, and a roof over their heads.
Every woman has a dream, to graduate and get a good job. To accomplish success and even get the boy of her dreams. Lily Evans had planned many things when she was younger, the day she found out she was a witch made those dreams expand even more.
Going to Hogwarts, flourishing in charms and to become a charms master alas things had changed once the terrorist known as Voldemort showed up. Lily's dreams had dashed out the window once that happened, being a muggleborn made a target appear on her back, one that wouldn't leave until the death of Voldemort was given.
The reality came to her when her dear childhood friend Severus had decided to shout a slur at her, in the day something woke in Lily.
The Evans were survivors, to survive is what they do best. In this moment Lily began to hang out with James Potter more, James was attractive and the more time he spent with Lily the more time Lily fell in love with him. From his messy black hair, warm hazel eyes all the way down to his dorky personality.
The attack on Hogwarts terrified her, an actual war was happening and with how the Ministry is giving action Lily knew that every witch and wizard graduating would be given the chance to fight, a 'chance' it was more of an order of being drafted.
Once graduation came around Lily and James had gotten married, Lily held the fear of her James dying from a death eater duel but this current situation was far worse than that.
She was pregnant, a worse thing was to die in a war but to give birth to a child so they could grow up around the chaos was definitely the harshest situation to give any adult.
Lily had always a feeling she wouldn't survive this war, but she wouldn't allow the one thing between James and herself to be extinguished. Maybe it was a chance of survival, for something half of her to continue breathing and for the idea of a bit of James as well.
She stood and headed towards the kitchen, crouching underneath the sink she pulled out a plastic baggie with a phone inside. Pulling it out she turned it on and scrolled through the list of numbers, stopping in the Ms' she took a deep breath and dialed the number.
"Hello?" a soft voice spoke.
"Monica Gallagher?"Lily asked.
"Depends, who's calling?"the voice was a bit guarded.
"Lily Evans,"
Lily stood when the front door opened, her eyes met James's tired hazel eyes.
"Hey Lily how's your day?"he asked a small smile on his face.
"Fine, it's been fine you know."she spoke giving him an awkward smile as James pulled off his robes and placed them on a hook.
"James we need to talk."she said after a few minutes, walking over as he looked at her.
"Sure what's up?"he asked.
"I'm pregnant."she said, her hands clasping together as he paused and looked over his face unreadable. "I think we should talk about-"
"You're not getting an abortion."he cut her off.
"What? No!"she suddenly said her face twisting into a frown.
"Oh thank Morganna!"he sighed out his eyes closing with relief.
"But I don't think it would be safe to keep it."she carefully said.
"You want to give our child away?!"he said turning to fully face her his eyes wide with shock.
"No just keep them with a friend of mine, my parents went to the states for a while I have friends I stayed in contact with."she said turning around to sit down on the couch.
James followed, choosing to stand he sighed and looked into her eyes.
"Friends? Friends that you haven't even seen in what? Years?!"he asked his voice raging.
"What other option do we have James?!"she shouted back her temper rising.
"Dumbledore could help us Lilbear, we can always go under the fidelus charm."James spoke.
"Go under the radar? Hide away until something slips up and that could get us killed?!"she screamed out.
"Better than dropping him with someone that could be a drug addict."James spat out.
"James I have a feeling we won't survive this war, everyday I go out and see our friends, comrades and family die."Lily's voice was filled with emotion, tears leaked from her eyes as she stared into her husband's eyes.
"Every minute I can't help but think I'm going to get a message of someone dead and your name is on it."
"Lilbear…" James sighed and sat down beside her pulling her tightly into his arms, Lily's breath hitched a bit and buried her face into his neck. The smell of mint and cinnamon filled her nose effectively calming her nerves.
"I don't want to die James, but I know that it will happen the Evans…
We're warriors and we survive, every feeling in my gut tells me that this baby. Our baby needs a chance."she spoke looking up into his eyes.
"Please let me make sure our baby is safe James."
"I trust you Lilbear, I trust you so much."he said kissing her forehead.
A heavy silence filled the room, Lily stared at her old headmaster.
The irony of a prophecy popping up around the due time her and Alice's sons were to be born.
"Now since this has happened Voldemort will know about it, I think putting the Potters under the fidelus charm and hiding the Longbottoms would be the perfect plan."the old wizard spoke.
"Why do that? Why not keep them under the fidelus charm as well?"Lily spoke up crossing her arms tightly over her chest.
"Lily-"
"No why should we be under it? Who would be the secret keeper?"Lily spoke cutting off Frank.
"I was thinking we go with Sirius."Albus spoke.
"I don't trust him, I'm sorry but James and I have a plan."with that being said Lily took James's hand and walked out of the room.
"Does it seem weird that a prophecy appears around the time our son is to be born?"James asked turning to look at his wife.
"Prophecies aren't suppose to appear this late, mostly the usual rhythm is a couple years beforehand, the fact that Albus allowed the prophecy to be heard by one of Voldemort's followers' is fishy."Lily responded as they went to a flue network.
"Have you talked with your friend?" James asked as they waited in line.
"Legal documents are being processed, his last name will be changed as well along with who's going to be his magical legal guardian."Lily spoke.
"Who do you have in mind?"James asked looking behind them.
"Leonidas Robins, a half blood who is working as a finance advisor I already set him up as the one who's going to transfer the Potter funds into a airtight account that only Harry will have access to once he's eleven."Lily spoke grabbing a handful of floo powder.
"Talk to you at home Lilbear." James said giving her a smile.
Due to Lily's paranoia they had moved to a cottage hidden in the forest outside of a village, they would floo there and hike to the cottage.
Lily sighed as she walked over and sat down heavily on the couch.
"So tell me about this guy, how did you meet him?"James asked leaning down he kissed her cheek from behind.
"Leo was my neighbor when my parents moved us to the states, he went to Ilvermorny School we've still stayed in touch."Lily spoke reached back to run her hand through his thick hair.
"You know who is more active, I had to detain a group of infiltrators'." James said moving to sit down beside her.
"Once Harry is ready Leo will take him to Monica."Lily said staring forward.
"I wonder what he would have, my tousled hair and your good looks and definitely your spicey attitude." He said kissing along her cheek and jaw making her laugh.
"I want him to have your eyes James."she said.
"With your red hair? Oh Lilbear he would look similar to one of Arthur's broode!"He said with a big grin on his face.
I'm so sorry, I couldn't get this idea out of my mind.
A few changes though, Harry will be born in 1980, just because I'm setting him up with Ian later on and it wouldn't be good to have a huge age gap.
But yeah, I'm making this because I'm in love with Shamless and plus all the times I have seen James and Lily I have never seen them act smart.
So this is sassy, strong and smart Lily looking out for her son! Sure yes she gave him to Monica Gallagher, Monica isn't truthful either from the letters she send either.
Leonidas is my oc, he won't show up until later on to take Harry to Ilvermorny.
