A/N: From now on I am going to give a little something that was part of my inspiration for the chapter. Whether it was a quote or a song, it will be there.
Love the Way You Lie by Eminem ft. Rihanna was a song that I listened to a lot whilst writing this chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own anything except for the plot! And the child that Lily has.
3. A Craving of Blood
"Lily, when was it that you and this horrid Draco kid had sex?" Emmett asked me for the tenth time that day.
"Emmett, I have already told you this!" I yelled jokingly at him and then had a sip out of the cup of blood. "It was approximately 4 weeks ago."
I had spent two weeks at the Cullen's, and it had been a long time since I had thrown up blood. The last being the second time that I had done it.
"Lily, don't yell, it will only wear you out more," Bella told me whilst getting my cup to fill it up again.
Bella was the only one that understood what I was going through, but not to a full extent. She had a husband that cared and loved for her, her father and her mother, and her husband's father, whereas I only had my brother in my family that was left. I was thankful for the help that the Cullen's had been giving me, but what I needed was a family, but I had no parents, only Harry who wouldn't be able to understand what I was going through. I was also glad for Bella, as she was the only one that I knew that had gone through the same thing.
"Bella," I said later that day, "why does a half vampire pregnancy take more out of you than a normal one?"
"Because the child is stronger than a human, and also grows faster, and that the child craves humans' blood," she replied. "Why?"
"I feel tired all the time," I told her, "and I feel sick all of the time."
"Yeah, that will happen," she said with a small smiling that was supposed to be reassuring. "Well, you will be going to school next year."
"Really? But won't I be a vampire? Won't I crave humans blood?" I asked really excitedly.
"Yeah, you will be a newborn, but I believe that you are one those things called a metamorphagus?" I nodded. "Well, you just have to change your eye colour for school. And, also, Edward says that you are a shield like me, so no one can read your mind."
"Oh…Our old Headmaster at Hogwarts said that he thought that it was just because I was natural at…Never mind," I finished lamely, as she wouldn't know what the term meant that I was going to use.
"Oh, okay," she said with a small smile. She sighed and looked beneath us. "Their fighting again, I better go sort it out and not leave Jasper to it all."
I chuckled. "Yeah, that is a smart idea." I had been their long enough to know that they don't usually fight, but if they do then it is really bad.
I saw and owl fly in the window, and then I realised that it was my owl. I almost ripped the note out of her beak, and tore the red and gold ribbon off of the parchment, and unrolled it. It was written in Hermione's neat handwriting.
Dear Lily,
We told him. He just stood there like a stunned person. But what I want to know is, why did you tell Draco that the wedding was off? I got very confused by that. I thought that you loved him?
Lily, we burnt the other letter. He will never find it.
Everything is fine here, I guess. McGonagall is putting up extra protection around the school just in case any of those Death Eaters come knocking. Especially Bellatrix. Although, I think that there are only five Death Eaters left.
Okay, love you lots and tell Harry too!
Hermione & Ron
Ron was written in his handwriting, and I had to laugh at that as it was a messy scrawl. I missed my friends. I quickly scribbled back a reply that said thank you and a few other things on it, and then sent it off to my Best Friends.
Lily is in labour… (I couldn't think of anything else to write!)
Third Person
Lily was panting, going in and out of the blackness, trying to remain calm for her new friends and Harry, and her best friends back at Hogwarts, also her unborn child. But, it was a hard thing to do when her ribs were getting cracked and smashed, her vision black as night and then bright as day.
Edward had his needle full of venom in his hand; ready to inject it into Lily once Harry and Carlisle had gotten child out. He stood there, getting flashbacks of when Bella was there. It was her in pain, it was Bella writhing on the table, Bella giving birth to the half vampire child. Now he had a lovely daughter, and a wife, but Lily would be alone with her brother and her child.
Bella stood next to Edward, not pained by the blood at all. She sighed as she remembered vaguely when it was her on the table. But she was glad that she had pulled through, that she hadn't given into the light that was oh so tempting to her when she was in pain. She looked at Lily who was almost screaming, but looked like she was trying to keep it in, trying to be brave.
Harry and Carlisle were trying to get the child out of Lily without hurting her too much, trying not to cause her pain. She thrashed and she vomited. The two were covered in blood from head to toe.
"Lily, stay awake! Please, for me, for Ginny, for Hermione! For Ron, please, Lily," Harry begged to her. "Lily, don't close your eyes, Lily don't give in!"
But all she wanted to do was to give in. She wanted the pain to be gone, she wanted to light to come closer so that she could just give up, so that the pain would go away. But she wouldn't give up. No, she wouldn't. She had to keep going for the child inside of her, for Harry, her only family left, for Ginny, Hermione and Ron, her best friends. And to show Draco that she was tougher than he thought that she was.
She felt something warm in her arms, something light, something that was beautiful.
"Lily, say hello to your new daughter," Harry said, smiling.
Lily just smiled and thought that it was nice to hold her daughter in her arms.
"Take her off, now!" Edward demanded, rather harshly.
He had seen it all before, it was exactly like how Bella gave birth, the exact same, even the tiny bite of the small infant in their arms.
Lily felt the child get taken of off her, and she didn't want that. No, she didn't want that. She wanted her child to be in her arms, she wanted to make sure that her daughter was cared for, and loved.
Edward injected the last bit of venom into her arm, and then sighed. "That is all I can do. Now we just have to wait for her to wake up in three days," he told Harry.
Lily gave into the darkness gladly.
RANDOM CHAPTER! Not really. I was going to make the birth of her child in a later chapter, but then I didn't have anything to put before she gives birth. Oh, well, bye!
Remember to review! Please give me some ideas and what you think will happen! And also what you think that her daughter's name should be, as I have absolutely no clue…
Stephie Malfoy-Cullen
P.S. The letter that Lily wrote to Hermione and Ron, I meant to put Ginny's name on it!
