a/n: welcome to a new chapter! I decided to post today as my Bio exam got postponed by a day for some reason and I was totally prepared. And that was a really short a/n!

Disclaimer: i do not own the characters, they are all JKR's.

It all made sense, except for one gaping hole.

"It can't be right," said James. "You need to have- to have-"

"Done the deed?" I asked.

He nodded. We both turned to Sirius, who wouldn't meet our eyes. She looked sheepish and was looking really uncomfortable.

"Padfoot?" asked James, his eyes wide.

"Yeah, well we.." Sirius whispered, barely audible.

Just then, Marlene entered.

"Hey guys! What's going on?" she asked coming in.

I looked at her. I knew my eyes were wide, and I looked betrayed. It wasn't really the deed that bothered me, it was the fact that my best friend lost her virginity, and i didn't hear a single word.

Pervert.

Not what I meant.

"Marley….?" I whispered.

"Lily?" she looked really confused.

"Marl.. we- we think that.." i began.

"Marl they know." sirius said. "And we think that maybe.." then he trailed off.

"You think what?" she asked, looking slightly confused.

There was a very pregnant pause.

Ooh a pun!

Not the time.

Sorry.

Anyway. A look of realisation filled Marlene's face. She glanced down at the ice-cream and pickles.

"Oh my god" she whispered. I could see tears brimming her eyes. "How do we tell?" she asked, aghast.

"There's a potion…" said James.

"But it takes quite some time to brew and we don't have the ingredients." I said.

Know it all.

Oh snap it.

"Well, we are in a muggle house," suggested Sirius. "What's the muggle way?"

"Pregnancy tests." I replied.

All three of them stared at me confused.

Purebloods.

"Well, whatever it is, can we get it?" asked Marlene.

"Yesh, it should be in the grocery store. The closest one is two blocks away." I said.

"Okay, so we can go.." said James.

"Wait." said Marlene. "Are you talking about the one with the huge green awning?" she asked me.

"Yeah." I said.

"No we can't go there." Marlene told us. "One of Tyler's muggleborn friends works there and he spends all his holidays there trying to talk her up."

"I thought he was in love with Lily?" said Sirius.

James and I both shot him pointed glares.

"Okay, sorry. Geez" said Sirius.

"So that means that Sirius and i can't go!" said Marlene.

"Why?" he asked.

"Because, if i go, he'll get suspicious as he know you" she pointed at me "are single and i'm not!"

"And if i go?" asked Sirius.

"He knows you are dating me."

"oof"

"That's okay." said James. "We'll go." he pointed to himself and to me.

;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;

"MOM!" I shouted from the door. "James and i are going to the grocery store to get uhh.." I glanced at James. He mimed eating.

"To get food! Do you need anything?" i finished.

"Yeah! Get me some shampoo please!" she yelled back.

"Kay bye!"

With that we left.

As soon as we were out of the door, James grabbed my arm. "How are we getting there? We can't apparate, we're both underage."

"The car, silly." I said.

"The what now?" he asked.

"Don't you take Muggle Studies?" I asked him.

"Yeah well whatever." he said.

I rolled my eyes and dragged him into our family car.

"Uhh.. Lils?" he said, getting into the passenger seat.

"What?" I asked, buckling myself in.

"Do you know how to drive?" he looked like he might pee his pants.

"Yes, you idiot. I learned last summer."

He just feverishly nodded.

"Put on your seat belt." I told him.

"What?"

"The seat belt."

"Huh?"

"THE BLOODY SEAT BELT POTTER!"

"Oh yeah okay."

And then we were off.

James stared out of the window the entire journey.

And asked questions.

A lot of questions.

"Lily, what's that?"

"That's a McDonalds James. You eat there."

"And that?"

"Billboard"

"That"

"stop sign, honestly"

"That"

"Mall. you buy stuff there"

"That."

"That's someone's house James."

"That?"

"That's a freaking dog, Potter."

I glanced over and my breath caught. He was pointing to our old playground. Instantly memories of Petunia and me playing filled my mind. I felt tears in the corner of my eyes. My sister was getting married.

"Hey Lily, you okay?"

"Yeah. that's a playground James. It's for children."

"It looks fun."

"It is. I'll take you sometime."

He grinned and continued staring out the window, minus the questions.

When we reached the store, James hopped out of the car and ran to the other side and pulled it open.

"M'lady," he said, bowing.

"Oh shove off." I told him. But i have to admit it was enjoyable.

James was very excited in the store.

"Ooh Lily look!" he ran over to a shopping cart.

"James come back!" i said, running after him.

"What is this?" he asked.

I very briefly explained it to him.

"Can you sit in it?" he asked.

"A child up to the age of seven, okay maybe. But definitely not a sixteen year old, six foot boy." I told him.

"6'2 and a half." he said, very proudly.

"Yes, that's very nice."

hey it was! Kinda hot too. If he wasn't acting like a six year old.

He's a packaged deal

"But i wanna sit too!" he whined.

"You are a child James, let me tell you that. Now grab a cart. And get moving."

There is something about grocery shopping with a boy: You don't have to do any work.

"James grab that bag of chips please!" he got it.

"James please push the trolley!" he did it.

"James, would you run to the last aisle and grab a chocolate?" he got it.

There was only one problem.

The high shelves.

Very early on I noticed that reaching up to the higher shelves made his shirt ride up.

Luckily it reminded me of the reason we had come to the grocery store in the first place.

"James, we forgot to get the thing."

"What thing?"

"The thing. For Marlene."

"Oh that thing. Where is it?"

"There."

"Lets get it then."

"No you dimwit. I can't just walk in and grab a pregnancy test!" I told him.

"Well why not?"

"Becau- never mind, lets go."

Getting the little box was very awkward. You wanna know why? Because we couldn't find it.

We grabbed an attendant, and asked her to show us the way. After we found it, she had the audacity to 'congratulate' us.

No tip for you.

I don't even know if you can give tips in grocery stores.

After that very embarrassing incident, we got in line for the billing. James was very interested in the little toys by the counter.

"No, James! Leave those." I whisper snapped.

The girl behind us also seemed very interested in what we were doing. I caught her on multiple occasions, eyeing James.

I nudged him. He glanced at me. I tilted my head toward the girl behind us who was now winking at him.

His cheeks instantly colored and he ran a hand through his hair.

Then he shot me a 'help me' look.

"Oh come on." I told him. "This can't be the first time."

"Ehh.."

"Don't give me that. I know you have a fanclub at hogwarts. Rita Skeeter tried to shove a flyer up my nose once in second year."

He smirked. "Second year?"

"Oh yeah. Since first actually."

"Yeah, well I've always had the Marauders by my side. Or at least Sirius. Heaven knows his fanclub is probably larger."

"Nah.. I think you two were pretty even until this year when everyone suspected him of dating Marlene. Most of the sensible girls shifted to you or Remus."

"Sensible?"

"Well relatively."

"How do you know this?"

"How do you not?" I replied. "Rita kept sticking up flyers everywhere until she finally graduated!"

James grinned at me in that way that could make anyone melt. I could feel the girl behind us glaring daggers into my back.

Ha!

Aha indeed.

Ack! Agreement!

Oh shove off.

"Plus," added James. "The only girl I ever cared for didn't count into the clubs."

Cheesy.

Sweet!

Is he talking about me?

Of course he's talking about you, you fool!

"James," i began i need to tell-"

"NEXT!" the cashier shouted, startling both of us. The girl behind us grinned.

We quickly loaded our stuff onto the belt, forgetting completely about the little box lying in the stuff.

"Oh! Lily, Potter!"

I do not (not) like the way that sounded.

Oh shut up you did.

What was the second not for?

oh.

We both looked up to find Hestia Jones, a Ravenclaw seventh year chaser standing there. And Tyler standing behind her.

"Hi Hestia!" I said.

"Jones," nodded James. They were both staring daggers at each other.

"Oh my god, you two!" I said. "Honestly it's just quidditch." Hestia was the Ravenclaw chaser.

"JuSt QuiDdItcH?!" exclaimed James.

"Yes Potter, just Quidditch." said Tyler.

Hestia began to scan the stuff. Whe she picked up the test, she glanced up at us quizzically.

"I thought you hated him?" she said, a hint of a grin on her face.

"That's not for me." I told her quickly.

She raised an eyebrow.

"It's for Mar-" I glanced at Tyler "Maria! my uh sister! She's uh getting married this week." I said.

She nodded, scanning that too.

"Uh huh."

Once she had packed everything, James took the bags and loaded them into the car.

;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;-;

Once we had managed to get away from my mother, we took the test up to Marlene. She took it and looked at it.

"What am i supposed to do with this?" she asked.

"You pee on it." I told her.

All three of the pure-bloods looked at me disgustedly.

"What?" i asked.

Marlene reluctantly slunk into the bathroom. When she came back, she was holding it.

"How do I tell what it means?" she asked.

"Hand it over." I said.

She and the boys stared at me.

"I've peed on it Lil."

"I'll wash my hands."

He gave it to me and I looked at the result.

"I'm not sure whether I'm gonna be happy or sad." said Marlene.

"I'm not sure either" I agreed before telling them the result.

a/n: oooohh what's it gonna be? Well i know, but you guys don't, so i'll pretend i don't know either. I wonder if we'll have a Sirius Jr or a Marlene Jr? Or if there'll be a junior at all?

Also, did you like Jily!at the grocery store? Because I did. It would have been so much cuter had they actually been dating, but alas this is as canon as i could do and therefore we gotta stick to seventh year.

Also, I'm removing the last chapter of My new Neighbour and editing it a bit. It's gonna be a three chapter story.

Anyway, that's all for today, i hope you liked the unplanned update,

With Love,

Marva

QOTC: do you want a Blackinnon Jr?
