Harry, Ginny, Albus, Teddy, and James had been walking down the hall and heard what Scorpius said. They all stopped, James asked, "The baby, it's . . "
"Dead," Scorpius confirmed.
Everyone stood for a moment in silence taking this news in, "Scorpius, maybe you should go back in," Harry said.
Scorpius shook his head, "We can't tell her now."
Harry nodded, "I agree, but, if she asks, we can't lie to her. And you should be the one to tell her."
Scorpius nodded as they all made their way into Lilys room. When they all settled down, a healer came in and said, "No. Only a few people at a time!"
Lily stirred slightly, "They leave, so do I."
The healer rolled her eyes and walked out of the room, leaving the rest of the family to laugh, "You get 'em, tiger," Teddy said as he grabbed Lilys hand and squeezed it.
Lily opened her eyes slightly and smiled the one she could manage, "Teddy, you're here, and you brought your blue hair with you."
Teddys hair immediately changed to black as he hugged Lily softly and cried. As Teddy let go of Lily and backed away, James came over, hesitantly. Lily knew she wasn't going to be able to stay awake long, but she needed to know something, "James, I want to know something," she had to take a deep breath and pause, as it took a lot of energy and hurt for her to talk, "And I want to hear it from you.
James sat down beside her and took her hand in both of his, "Anything, Lils."
"Is my baby alright?"
James looked to Scorpius, and he nodded, James drew a deep breath, "No, Lils."
Lily nodded as some tears slipped down her only half opened eyes, "Okay."
James stroked his sister hair, "We're all here for you, Lils. We all love you so much."
Lily nodded her head, and before she went out on consciousness again, she whispered, "Lucy is dead."
James kissed his sister on the cheek then announced, "Be right back," and as he passed Scorpius, he whispered, "C'mon."
Scorpius nodded and followed. When they got into the hallway, Scorpius already had tears in his eyes, "If you're going to blame me for the death of -"
James shook his head, "I just wanted to say I'm sorry. You love Lily with all your heart and none of this is your fault, so stop beating yourself up, alright?"
Scorpius nodded, "Thank you."
James looked at the floor, "I thought we were going to lose her today. Honestly, I did."
Scorpius nodded, "She's definitely a fighter, that one."
"I have never, ever loved anyone as much as I love my sister. If i lost her . . " James trailed off, not able to finish the sentence.
Scorpius nodded, "I understand that."
James looked to Scorpius seriously, "She's going to want another kid. I know my sister."
Scorpius shrugged, "If she want's another one, then I'm sorry James, but, then we will try for another one."
james nodded, smiling slightly, "And if she doesn't want another one right now?"
"Then we wait."
James nodded, "Okay, I like you again." And he walked back into Lilys room.
Everyone had been instructed that It was okay to go home and get some rest, and everyone did, except for Scorpius. He stayed by Lilys side all night. at about 6:00, Lily woke him up, "Scorp, you awake?" She asked, not sounding fully recovered at all, but better than she previously had.
Scorpius immediately awoke, stroking her face, "Yes, love?"
Lily sighed, "Scorpius, what if I would've died?" she asked, curiously.
Scorpius shook his head, "Don't talk like that, Lily. I thought I was going to lose you when I walked in the house to find you taking a bath in your own blood."
"But tell me, what ran through your head right at that moment?"
"I thought. . . My life was over. That you were gone, and you were my reason to live. You are my reason to live, Lily. I love you more than anything. If you would've died, I honestly don't know what i would've done."
Lily nodded, "I want a baby."
Scorpius nodded also, "Then we'll have a baby."
Lilys eyes lit up, "Really?"
Scorpius kissed Lilys hand, "Anything you want, love."
Lily tried to sit up more to hug Scorpius, but she held her stomach and gasped, so Scorpius gently pushed her back down and he hugged her, "I love you, Lily Luna Malfoy. And this last week has been the worst of my life."
Lily smiled, he'd never called her Lily Luna Malfoy before, and she liked it.
Teddy walked in, grinning, "Nice to see you two up bright and early. This punk wake you up Lils?" Teddy asked teasingly, nudging Scorpius.
Lily laughed a bit, but then started breathing deeply as she discovered that hurt, "Other way around, actually, Teddy."
Teddy smiled, "How is my Lily this fine morning?" He asked as he kissed her cheek and sat down beside her.
Lily groaned, "Let's not talk about me. Hows Mariana?"
Teddy nodded, "Good, right outside, actually."
Lily smiled bigger, "Well, bring her in!"
"Lily," Teddy said, gently, "I don't think that's -"
She looked at him pleadingly, "Please?"
Teddy sighed as he walked away and came back with Mariana, who had an obvious baby bump. "You didn't want me to see her because she was pregnant?
"Lily, listen -"
"I'm not two years old, Teddy! I can deal with things, okay?!"
Teddy wanted to keep Lily calm, so he looked to Mariana, "Maybe you should -"
"No!" Lily bellowed, "Mariana is welcome to stay if she damn well please im not upset at her I'm upset at you that you think I can't handle anything!"
"Lils, you just almost -"
"Yeah yeah yeah I almost died whatever I don't care, great. My baby is dead. i lost my little boy or my little girl. But, that doesn't mean I cant handle seeing people with a baby bump!"
Scorpius looked down and Lilys abdomen and then looked at Teddy, wide eyed, "You both need to get out, Now. And you love," He said, patting Lilys hand, "Need to calm down, alright? Please, for me?" As Teddy and Mariana exited, Lily nodded and started breathing normally again, "I'll be right back, okay?" Lily nodded and Scorpis ran to find a healer, as soon as he found one he was out of breath , "My wife -Lily- She's bleeding -Please help-"
The healer looked at him, "Let me find your wifes healer, okay?" Scorpius nodded and the same healer he'd talked to yesterday appeared.
"Lily Malfoys husband, right?"
Scorpius nodded, "She's bleeding -"
The healer nodded, "Okay, we'll go check it out. I have some great news for you and Lily, though."
"What is it?"
"You'll see."
As they walked into Lilys room, the healer did have to re-seal Lilys cuts, and told Scorpius to monitor what people say, and stay at all times, as he's the only one who can calm her down. "Well, aside from that, I was going to come see you two anyways."
Lily nodded, "For . . ?"
"Well, congrats to you both, you're going to be parents after all."
Lily looked at him like her was crazy, "What?! Have you seen these cuts?! There's no way -"
"The first baby, the one that is gone, was the one that was in the area of the cuts. The other baby, was away. This baby, is fine."
Lily did notice how the cuts seemed to stay to one side. Lily bit her bottom lip as tears of happiness fell down her face, Scorpius hugged her and the healer walked off. "Did you hear that, Lils? Parents! Us!"
Lily nodded and smiled, "I love you, Scorpius Malfoy."
Scorpius smiled as he kissed her, "And I love you, Lily Malfoy."
