Potterverse does not belong to me...still. Once again I apologize for not updating sooner, I've been having essay after essay to write though luckily I believe this is my last one of the term. Thank you everyone who has read, favorited, alerted and reviewed this story, you're awesome. Now here's the update, enjoy!
Sirius was dumbfounded as he stared at the messy-haired wizard in front of him. "Wait, what?"
"We're pregnant." James replied bouncing up and down on the balls of his feet, the smile on his face so wide that it looked a bit painful. Lily was positively glowing – in a good way, not a radio-active, you-look-like-you're-going-to-vomit way.
"Both of you?" Cummings asked not following.
"What?" Both James and Sirius asked giving Cummings identical weird looks, letting her know that was probably the third stupidest thing she's ever said around them. Lily had learned by now to just ignore the less intelligent words from the younger girl, it was really just part of her charm.
"Nothing," muttered Cummings looking down at her shoes in shame.
Returning his attention back to his best mate Sirius grinned making his handsome face more attractive – if that was even possible. Really, Baxter would've been swooning if he could see it. "That's bloody fantastic Prongs!" Sirius told James hugging him tightly. Cummings was jealous.
"And that's not all Sirius." James said pulling away and looking over to his wife.
"Twins?" Sirius guessed.
"You have an extra toe?" Cummings offered up. This time Lily joined in on giving her a weird look. "What? It could happen…" She trailed off scratching the back of her head.
James slung an arm around Lily's shoulders, pulling her closer to him while still beaming giving off the impression that he was the happiest man alive. If anyone asked James would confirm it. "We want you to be the kid's godfather." For the second time in his life Sirius' jaw dropped, he was completely stunned. He also had a tingly feeling in his toes as he stood there overwhelmed with the joy of being the godfather to Lily and James' kid.
Cummings looked between the couple and Sirius – who just had a fly buzz into his mouth – before commenting, "Are you sure that's a good idea?" Immediately Sirius unfroze and frowned looking over at his newbie and patrolling partner.
"Of course they're sure! Who else would be better?" Sirius asked.
"Squadron Leader," replied Cummings without missing a beat.
"He's always sick!" Sirius countered just as fast, almost letting slip the dangerous time of the month Remus had – not that it mattered to Sirius but he was pretty sure werewolves and babies didn't mix.
"He's more practical."
"What am I, a Flobberworm?"
"No, but what are you going to do? Teach the kid how to snog properly in broom cupboards, Captain?" She asked folding her arms over her chest and staring at the handsome ex-Gryffindor while the other two looked on at the argument. Not once did they figure this was how this conversation was going to go, though secretly Lily was highly amused.
"Like you would do any better?" Sirius scoffed mirroring her action and folding his muscular arms over his nicely toned chest.
"Damn right I would!" Cummings answered with a curt nod.
"And what would you do, show how Hufflepuffs are particularly good finders?" The sarcasm was obvious in Sirius' voice; Cummings, though, was only slightly offended.
She gasped dramatically. "How dare you think I would try and turn the kid into a Hufflepuff! Obviously he's going to be a big-headed, rule breaking, ginger Gryffindor! Besides, I'd teach the kid the importance of fake mustaches." She stated with a nod and a smile.
"How is that any better than learning to snog in a broom cupboard?"
Cummings raised her eyebrows as she stared at Sirius and slowly, pointedly said, "Fake mustaches." For the next two minutes Cummings stared unblinkingly at Sirius while he glared at the girl. It was just like her to ruin a moment like this. Well, it wasn't but it was now! Sirius was itching to hex her. Just when he was about to reach for his wand Cummings face broke out into a smile and suddenly Sirius found himself being hugged against his will. "You'll be amazing Captain, I just know it." Cummings nuzzled her head against his chest.
"What just happened?" James asked very confused.
"I'm not sure." Sirius answered looking down at the girl hugging him unsure of how to go about getting her off of him.
"Me neither but it sure felt great." Cummings said letting go and turning to face Lily and James. "I just have one request."
Warily Lily asked, "What's that?"
"You name the kid after me." She grinned before walking away and into the kitchen of headquarters to get a drink as the three of them stared after her.
"...Have you found out her name yet Sirius?"
"Sod off Prongs, I'm working on it."
