Chapter Ten
Two months had gone by and it was Christmas Eve. None of them had gone home for Christmas break and Lily was the one who seemed to complain about it the most.
"I can't believe my parents can't do anything this Christmas," Lily said, sitting on James bed, "they wouldn't even tell me why."
"I'm sure they are doing something really important," Emily said, lying down on Remus's bed.
"Hey where are the boys?" Lily asked, just noticing that they were not in the room.
"They went to get drinks," Emily said, "and I'm glad they are not here right now."
"Why?" Lily asked, folding her arms.
"Cause," Emily said, sitting up, "I don't know how to tell Remus."
"Tell him what?" Lily asked, "Are you breaking up with him?"
"No, I'm not," Emily said, looking at the ground, "I um…I'm pregnant."
Lily looked up at her and nearly fell off the bed.
"Oh my," Lily said, now looking very worried, "that is something really important. How long have you known?"
"I've known for about two weeks," Emily whispered.
"And you just barely decide to say something now," Lily said, but she quickly shut up when the boys came into the room.
Peter went and laid down on his bed while Sirius went to his trunk and started digging through it. James went and sat down by Lily, while Remus laid down by Emily and wrapped his arms around her.
"Hey, I got your Christmas present picked out," Remus said, "I think you're going to like it."
"I have also got a present for you," Emily said, "but I don't know if you're going to like it or not."
"I'll like it, because it's from you," Remus said, giving Emily a kiss on the cheek.
Lily looked at Emily and just shook her head.
"Hey are you guys staying the night?" James asked, "Than we can all wake up together."
"I don't know," Lily said, standing up, "we don't need to get in trouble. Come on now Emily. It is late."
Emily gave Remus a kiss goodbye before her and Lily left the room. They quickly headed up to their dorm room. They were the only ones there, since most of their roommates had gone home.
"I can't believe you," Lily said, folding her arms.
Emily shut the door of the dorm room.
"Be quiet," Emily said, "I don't need people to find out."
"But how are you going to complete school?" Lily asked, "We have like five months left and how far along are you?"
"About two months," Emily said, looking at the ground.
"Ok, so ya, you should be able to finish school with no problem," Lily said, looking a bit more relieved.
"How am I going to tell him?" Emily asked, sitting on her bed, "what if I tell him and he freaks out?"
"I'm sure he won't freak out," Lily said, "Tell him tomorrow. Tell him after you give him his gift."
"I don't know, I will tell him when I'm ready, maybe in like a month," Emily said, laying down and going to bed.
The next day when Emily woke up Lily was already gone. Emily looked at the time to see that it was noon. Rolling her eyes, she got out of bed and headed to the Great Hall for lunch. She found everyone sitting there. She went and sat down by Remus.
"About time you wake up," Remus said, handing her a drink.
"Ya, I thought someone would wake me up," Emily said, looking over at Lily.
"I thought someone needed all the rest they could get," Lily said, getting a drink.
"Are you two fighting?" Sirius asked, folding his arms, "there is no fighting on Christmas."
"No, we are not," Emily said, beginning to eat her food.
Emily took a few bites of food, before beginning to feel sick. Emily quickly stood up and ran out of the Great Hall.
"You know," James said, "she is always running out of here. It's usually after she eats something."
"Maybe she's sick," Remus said, not even really thinking about it.
"She is sick every day?" Sirius asked.
"I don't know," Remus said, "I haven't asked her about it."
"I can't believe you," Lily said.
"What?" James asked, looking up from his plate.
"I know what's wrong with her," Lily said, looking over at Remus, "are you going to freak out if I tell you?"
"Why would I freak out?" Remus asked, "It's not anything bad?"
"No, it's not bad," Lily said, than looked around before she whispered, "Emily's pregnant."
Remus sat there looking very shocked.
"That can't be," Remus said, "We only did it once."
"Did you use protection?" Sirius asked, looking just as shocked as Remus.
"No," Remus said, looking down at his hands, "I'm sorry. I have to go think about this."
Remus stood up and quickly left the Great Hall and went outside.
"Maybe I shouldn't have told him," Lily said.
"No, you did that right thing," James said, "Let's go up to the dorm."
The three of them headed up to the dorm room. Lily had gone and got her gifts for everyone.
"We can't open them yet," James said, just as Sirius was about to unwrap his.
"Ya, we have to wait for the others," Lily said, just as Emily came into the room with their gifts.
Emily set her gifts down and Sirius jumped up off his bed. He walked over to her and started to rub her stomach.
"Aw when will it start moving?" Sirius asked.
"LILY," Emily yelled, pushing Sirius away, "you told them?"
"Well, ya," Lily said, "you weren't."
Emily shook her head before handing Sirius his gift. She handed Lily and James their gifts before she noticed that Remus was not there.
"Did you also tell Remus?" Emily asked.
Before Lily could answer, Remus came into the room.
"Yay, now we can open gifts," Sirius said, beginning to open his gifts.
Emily just smiled grabbing Remus's gift and handing it to him. Remus just looked down at the floor.
"Are you going to open it?" Emily asked.
"Ya, I will in a minute," Remus said, going over to his bed and sitting down.
Emily just stared at him, before looking over at Lily, who didn't do anything.
"Hey Remus, here's my gift to you," Lily said, handing Remus his gift.
Remus set down Emily's gift and took Lily. Remus gave a small smile while he opened it. Emily shook her head before turning around and leaving the room. Remus looked at the door before giving a small sigh. He set down the book that Lily had gotten him.
"You do know that was kind of rude," Sirius said.
"I'm sorry," Remus said, "it's just I don't know what to do. I'm not ready for that."
"Well, being a coward is no way to deal with it," James said, grabbing Remus and pulling him off his bed, "Now go say you're sorry."
Remus looked at them all; they all had the same look on their faces. Remus quickly left the dorm room and went down into the common room.
"Hey, did Emily go up to her dorm?" Remus asked someone.
"No, she left," they answered him before turning back to their book.
Remus ran out of the common room and down the stairs. He went outside to see that Emily was sitting in the snow with no coat on and short pants. Remus slowly walked over to her and sat down.
"I'm sorry," Remus said, looking over at her, "I don't know what I was thinking."
"You freaked out," Emily said, looking at the ground, "like I knew you would."
"It's just that's like not something I was planning on hearing for a few years," Remus said, "I just wasn't expecting to have kids."
"Well I wasn't expecting it either," Emily said, looking up at Remus.
Remus gave a small smile, before looking down at her stomach.
"So, my baby is in there," Remus whispered, touching Emily's stomach.
"Yes, there is a baby in there," Emily said, giving a small laugh, "it's not like there would be anything else in there."
Remus smiled, before picking Emily up and carrying her back up to his dorm room. It fell silent when they came into the room. Remus laid Emily on his bed, than laid down next to her.
"Finally," Sirius said, standing up and giving Emily a gift, "that's for you."
"Yay," Emily said, quickly opening it to find a stuffed animal of a black dog, "aw what a cute little thing."
"Wait," Remus said, getting up and getting his gift out of his trunk, "here you go."
Remus handed the gift to Emily before he laid back down. Emily opened it to find a heart shaped locket. She opened it to see it had a picture of Remus on one side and the other side was empty.
"Thank you," Emily said, putting the necklace on, "are you going to open your gift?"
"Yes," Remus said, picking up Emily's gift and opening it to see it was like a little time piece, "What is it?"
"Oh you set it by your bed," Emily said, "and it shows you what time it is, and it shows you if there is a full moon that night. That way you will never forget and stuff like last time."
"Oh ya," Remus said, "I did almost forget last time. Though, I think this gift right here is just a bit better."
Remus started to rub Emily's stomach. Sirius was sitting there, watching.
"What is it?" James asked, looking at Sirius.
"Nothing," Sirius said, looking down at the ground.
"It's late," Lily said, "we should go to bed."
"I'm staying here," Emily said, giving a small yawn, "really don't want to move."
"Well I guess we can stay here, but just for tonight," Lily said, jumping into James's bed.
Sirius looked at James and Lily, than over at Remus and Emily. 'Maybe I should tell them what I did, but than they will hate me,' Sirius thought, giving a small sigh before he went to bed.
