I dont own. And this is a short chapter. You'll see what happens.
Through out the entire night, I settled in the corner, away from everyone. I was happy for the party that Tonks and Remus had planned for Jamie and I. I just, needed some alone time.
James was looking for me, I could see him perfectly from where I sat. I could see everyone but, they couldn't see me. Suddenly, his eyes caught mine. He came over in a hurry.
"Lily, why are you sitting here, alone? There's a party for us." He said.
"I needed time to myself. I'm sorry I've been completely nutty lately." I said.
"Well, darling, whatever is the matter?"
I shook my head, and prepared to get up. He grabbed my arm. "No, you're staying here until you tell me what's going on." his voice was deep and it scared me a bit.
"It's nothing. Let's dance." I pulled him to the dance floor. We began to slow dance. "How do you feel being a graduate, love?" I asked.
"Great. It's the best feeling I've felt before. How about you?"
"I feel good. A little nauseated. But, good."
"Nauseated? Are you still feeling under the weather?"
I nodded.
"Oh, maybe you should go to the hospital tomorrow, get things checked out."
I shook my head. "I know what is going on."
James wouldn't let it go. "Lily, I want to know what in the bloody hell is going on with you. You should get to the doctor's to check out what it is."
"I told you, I know what it is!" I ran out the room, I couldn't hold the tears I had filling in my eyes.
I ran through the door, going outside. It was raining cats and dogs. But, somehow, I felt at peace about being alone in the rain, gathering my thoughts.
**************************
I walked around, aimlessly. I had too much on my mind to care where I was going. The rain felt good on my hot face. I hadn't noticed the warmth on my face while inside.
I sat on a bench, down the street a bit. 'Oh, bollocks.' I thought. I sighed.
I felt a warm hand touch my shoulder. I turned and it was Jamie. He shrugged off his jacket and placed it over my shoulders.
"Love?" was all he said. I broke down. He hadn't seen me like this before, I could see the look on his face. He was scared.
"I have something to tell you." I sobbed.
"You can tell me anything. I love you."
"You remember how I said I was late?" he nodded. "I wasn't talking about the party."
It dawned on him. "Oh."
I nodded. "I took a test to be sure, and I'm…" I couldn't say it out loud.
"You're pregnant?!" he was shocked.
I nodded once again. "Tonks helped make a potion for me to take, testing me for it. And I am."
The tears kept flowing. They were mixing with the falling rain.
Jamie placed his arm around my shoulder, like his jacket. He leaned into me, kissing my cheek and silently, breaking down himself. I could see his lip quivering. His body was shaking and I knew it wasn't from the rain.
"Oh, James." I said, wrapping my arms around him, hugging him.
We sat, holding each other for what seemed like an eternity. I felt relieved that he had understood without me really saying a lot. But, I could tell he was scared. I was scared and I knew I would soon have to tell my parents.
He sniffed, wiping his eyes. I grabbed his hand, "Blame it on the rain."
He smiled. "Well, we better get back inside. I don't want you to bloody catch pneumonia. Considering…"
I nodded. He kept my hand in his as we walked back to the party.
