I do not own Harry Potter.
The next month flew by as everyone adjusted to being home and taking care of Lily. Harry was able to work something out with Professor McGonagall, which allowed all three of his children to be tutored at home. Scorpius flat out demanded the same from Draco. After many arguments Harry and Draco agreed on a tutoring plan for all of them.
Because of Lily's state they didn't want to hire strangers, so they improvised. Harry taught Defense Against the Dark Arts for three hours on Mondays; Draco taught Potions for three hours on Tuesdays; Hermione taught Runes and Arithmancy for a total of four hours on Wednesdays; Fleur taught Charms for three hours on Thursdays; and Professor McGonagall insisted on teaching Transfiguration herself for three hours on Fridays. They all agreed to do half the lesson in the morning before lunch, then stop for lunch, and then finish the other half of the lesson after lunch.
It seemed to work well for Lily as she settled into a bit of a routine. She would wake up and have breakfast in bed, and then she would take a bath before heading downstairs to the couch for the day. After lessons she would take a nap followed by dinner and a therapy session. She would then do her homework before heading back upstairs to bed.
Unfortunately, the nightmares continued so they put a spare bed in Lily's room and rotated the night shift. Between lessons and taking care of Lily, the boys had little time for socializing. This became blatantly obvious one week when Harry was confronted with extremely awkward situations involving his sons.
First, James had received a thoroughly embarrassing howler from his girlfriend, while they were eating dinner one night, in which she told him that he'd been away so long she thought she had been re-virginized.
As if that wasn't mortifying enough for Harry, one night he went to make a phone call using his house phone, and when he picked it up he heard voices. Wondering who was using the phone, he listened for a minute before he realized Al was having a phone sex conversation with his muggleborn girlfriend. Completely mortified, he slammed the phone down.
The next morning Harry told everyone that he insisted on taking Friday and Saturday nights so his sons could go out. He sincerely hoped he never had to hear about their sex lives again. Little did Harry know, he was going to have to hear about his daughters sex life soon enough…
Lily had been doing everything she was supposed to do for her babies; she was eating right, sleeping well, taking her vitamins, following the doctors orders about bed rest, and she was talking through her trauma's with her therapist. The problem was that she was growing increasingly frustrated, on so many levels, but most embarrassingly, she was very sexually frustrated. She knew her pregnancy hormones were to blame but that didn't solve her problems. She had absolutely no privacy because someone was sleeping in her room every night because of her nightmares. She couldn't even have some time alone in the bath because she needed help to get in and out and Hermione would usually stay nearby in case Lily needed anything. On top of all of that she was afraid that actually doing something would cause her to go into premature labor. To put it plainly, she was a mess. She decided she needed to talk to her doctor and healer today. She quite frankly could not take this anymore. With that decided she just needed to get an appointment, "Dad!" she called.
Per usual, Harry was there within seconds followed by her brothers shortly after. She smiled at them; they were all so sweet. "Dad, I need to see my OB/GYN."
"What's wrong? Are you alright?" asked Harry panicked, quickly moving to her side.
Before she could even reply both her brothers had run out of the room and she could hear them yelling in the background but she wasn't sure what they were saying. Sighing, she said, "Dad, I really just need to speak with her. Can you see if you can get me an appointment with her?"
"Lily, if you're not feeling well, let's just go to the hospital now. I don't want to take any chances," replied Harry concerned.
Suddenly, Scorpius was at her side breathing heavily as if he had just sprinted, "Lily, what's wrong? Al said something was wrong."
She glared at Al who was once again in the doorway. He was suddenly pushed aside as Hermione came running in, "What's wrong? Are you in labor?"
James followed her into the room and Lily had to close her eyes and take a deep breath to remind herself that they were just worried about her.
"What's happening? Why haven't you taken her to St. Mungo's yet!" yelled Draco, the last to arrive.
Lily snapped open her eyes and yelled, "Will everyone just calm down!" She glared at them for a minute before she continued, "I am not in labor. The babies are fine. I just need to see my OB/GYN. All I'm asking is if my Dad can get me an appointment. Or if someone wants to bring me the damn phone, I can do it myself!"
They all seemed extremely surprised with her tirade and just gaped at her.
"Oh, Merlin's pants," she groaned but when they all just stood there. She couldn't take it anymore and threw the blankets off of her and moved so that she was sitting up with her feet on the floor.
This seemed to snap Harry out of it and he stood in front of her with his hands held out to stop her and asked, "Lily, what are you doing?"
"I'm going to get the damn phone since apparently you're all too busy staring at me to get it!"
"Lily, I can get you the phone, that's not the problem. I just don't understand what's going on. Why do you want to see the doctor? Is something wrong?" replied Harry pleadingly.
"No, I want to see her because I miss her! Yes, something's wrong!" snarled Lily.
Harry looked completely lost and Hermione moved closer and asked, "Lily, if you would just tell us what's wrong, it would make it easier to figure out how quickly you need to be seen."
"I don't want to tell any of you what's wrong!" she yelled angrily before she started crying, "Please, I just need to see my own doctor... today or tomorrow."
Hermione nodded and got up to go make her an appointment.
Harry didn't like seeing his daughter so upset and he instinctively reached out a hand to rub her shoulder but as soon as he touched her she jumped away from him and let out an anguished cry, "Don't touch me!"
Harry's hands quickly flew up in surrender as he backed away from her and choked out, "I'm sorry. Lily. I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to scare you."
She curled up as much as she could with her growing belly and faced away from everyone as she continued to sob.
"Lily," said Hermione coming into the room, "the Doctor's on the phone and she would like to talk to you." She walked over to Lily slowly and held out the phone to her.
Lily nodded, wiped her face and took a deep breath before taking the phone away from Hermione. She noticed that no one was leaving and she asked quietly, "Can I have some privacy, please?"
Slowly they all left the room and Lily said, "Hi Dr. Devans."
"Hi Lily. I understand you wanted to see me. What seems to be the problem?"
Lily took a minute to reply, she found it a little embarrassing to talk about, "I just…" sniffle, "I'm having some problems…" sniffle, "I think from all the hormones." Sniffle, "And we never really talked about what's OK to do." Sniffle, "I mean you probably figured I wouldn't want to do anything…" Sniffle, hiccup, "because of what happened…" sobbing, "and I really don't want to…" more sobbing "but I'm very uncomfortable…" sniffle. "I don't want to do anything to hurt the babies…" hiccup, "and I don't know if I can…" sniffle, "I mean will I go into labor?"
Dr. Devans sighed; she really didn't understand what was going on other than it had something to do with her hormones. The poor girl sounded a mess. "Lily, I think I have a general idea of what's going on but I'm having a hard time getting the full picture over the phone. Since I'd rather you stay put, why don't I come and see you this afternoon. Would that be all right with you?
Lily sighed in relief and said, "Yes. Please. I would really appreciate that."
"Great, then I'll see you soon. Would you mind putting Hermione back on the phone? I want to see if she can give me the contact information for your healer, perhaps she can come as well."
"Sure. Thanks again, Dr. Devans."
"Not a problem, Lily."
"Hermione!" yelled Lily away from the phone.
A minute later Hermione poked her head into the room and Lily said, "She wants to talk to you."
Hermione nodded and came in to take the phone and left Lily alone again.
"Hi," said Hermione into the phone when she was back in the kitchen with everyone.
"Hi Hermione. I'm going to move some appointments around but I should be able to get there for 3:00 PM. I wondered if you could contact Lily's healer for me and see if she can meet me at your house?"
"Of course. Is everything alright?" asked Hermione concerned.
Dr. Devans sighed and said, "I'm not sure. I don't think there's anything going on with the babies, but Lily seemed very distressed. It might be a good idea to have her therapist there as well, just in case. But I can contact the therapist myself. Are you sure you don't mind contacting her healer for me? I'm not sure how I could contact her myself."
"No, it's not a problem at all."
"Thank you. I'll see you at 3:00PM."
"Thank you Dr. Devans."
Hermione hung up the phone frowning and Harry said, "What is it?"
"She's coming here at 3:00PM. She asked if I could contact Healer Summer. She wants her to come as well and she was going to contact Lily's therapist."
"Did she say what was wrong?" asked James worriedly.
Hermione shook her head and said, "She said she didn't think it had anything to do with the babies, but she seemed pretty worried about Lily."
Harry nodded and Hermione said, "Well, I should go to St. Mungo's and try and find Healer Summer."
"Yeah, Thanks." Replied Harry distractedly.
Hermione moved towards him and held his hand for a minute, making him smile before she left the room to floo to St. Mungo's.
Scorpius got up from the table and said, "I'm going to go sit with Lily."
Then Draco got up and said, "I'm going to head back to the Manor. I'll come back before 3:00PM."
Everyone nodded unsure what to do. They were all worried about her but they didn't want to upset her anymore than she already was.
Harry sat down at the table with his sons and placed his head in his hands. He still couldn't believe how much he scared Lily. He was kicking himself for touching her. How many times did they tell them to be careful when trying to touch her? She had been doing so well, that he just forgot.
"Dad, we should cancel our lessons for the day," said James quietly.
Harry just looked at him confused and James clarified, "Aunt Fleur, we should floo call her so she doesn't come over."
Harry nodded but didn't appear to be moving anytime soon, so James got up and went to the floo to talk to their Aunt.
"It's not your fault, Dad," said Al. When Harry just stared at him blankly he continued, "Dad, you couldn't have known she would get so upset by touching her. She's been so much better these past few weeks, that none of us would have expected that."
Back in the living room Scorpius was sitting on the chair next to Lily who was still curled up on the couch. He noticed she was shaking and he asked, "Lily, can I cover you with a blanket?"
She nodded and he moved very slowly to cover her, careful not to actually touch her. As he moved away he was surprised when she grabbed his arm with her hand. She was so upset and he had no idea how to make it better, "Do you want to talk about it?"
She hiccupped, and then nodded as she moved her hand to hold his. He smiled and moved to sit on the floor in front of her but she shook her head and said, "it's alright, you can sit on the couch with me."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes."
He sat down slowly at the other end of the couch trying not to touch her but she held onto his hand tightly. He smiled at her and waited for her to begin.
She smiled shyly at him before she reminded herself that this was Scorpius, the father of her babies and her lover. "I've been having a lot of urges lately. Sexual urges. And I'm afraid. I don't know what I can and can't do. I mean I don't think they thought I would have any interest in sex after what happened. And I don't think I'm mentally ready but my body is going haywire with all these hormones, and I can't take it anymore."
For a second he smirked, his sexy, I'm the best lover in the world, smirk, and she couldn't help but blush and look away. When she turned back he was serious again and he said, "You know I'll do whatever you ask. Believe me, I would like nothing more than to carry you upstairs and make love to you all day, but I don't think you're ready for that."
"I don't think I am either," she replied quietly.
"What do you think your body needs to satisfy these urges?"
She blushed and squealed, "Scor!"
He chuckled and said, "Come on now, love, don't be shy. I take it you need to have an orgasm?"
She blushed deeply but nodded.
"All right then let's figure out a way to give your body what it needs," he replied grinning. "Do you think you could handle me helping you?"
"I don't know," she replied seriously.
"We could try it so that I'm not touching you anywhere else except there? Or I could not touch you with my hands at all and just use my tongue, what about that?"
"I can't believe we are talking about this," replied Lily mortified, making Scorpius laugh.
"Seriously though, Lily, if it's easier for you to do it yourself, I won't be offended. I don't want to push you."
"I don't want to do it myself," whined Lily causing Scorpius to laugh loudly and joke, "Such a demanding little minx."
Lily snorted
Harry poked his head in and asked, "Everything Ok?"
They both laughed hysterically and Lily finally said, "Yeah, Dad. Everything's fine."
Harry smiled at her before heading back into the kitchen to his sons. "Well, she seems to be better. She's laughing at least."
"What are they laughing about?" asked James.
"No idea, I didn't ask. I was just happy to see her laughing," replied Harry smiling.
After several minutes of laughing after her Dad left, Lily said, "Seriously Scor, what am I going to do?"
"I don't know. I mean I could try touching you and if it upsets you, just say stop, and I'll stop. I promise," replied Scorpius genuinely.
"Maybe." She replied nervously.
"Or we could be creative," he said mischievously.
She snorted and said, "Do I even want to know?"
He smirked and said, "We could get one of those muggle movies for you to watch,"
"Porn?" she shrieked then quickly covered her mouth blushing.
"Yes, that. Then I could touch you or you could touch yourself and I could just be there with you. Or I could get you a toy if you want."
"Oh my god, I've created a monster!" she giggled blushing.
"We will figure it out love, I promise. I'm going to take good care of you," said Scorpius seriously as he brought her hand to his mouth and slowly kissed it.
She held her breath as he did this and then slowly nodded.
"I love you, Lily. More than anything."
"I love you too Scor."
