"Lily! How darling of you to come!"
"Hello Mum. Did I rush in on something important?" Lily asked, looking around.
"Sit down! Oh, no; you didn't interrupt anything. I'm just not that used to that magic stuff yet." Mrs. Evans chuckled to herself, arranging some fresh flowers in a vase next to her. "Yet."
"Mum?" Lily said, sitting on a lawn chair next to her mother. The view was of a spectacular garden Mr. Evans had created ten years ago. Spectacularly, there was no frost covering it and the temperature was quite warm for South Hamptonsburg, in south England. "Where's Dad? Usually he's working on that garden of his. You know, you should really see the house James and I are in; I started the cutest little garden and it has… Well, anyway; where is Dad?"
"Hmm? Oh, you're father has gone to the bank to put some money in."
"Oh. Well." Lily looked around uncomfortably.
"What's wrong. You're quiet for the first time in your life! Would you like to talk? Wait a minute, what am I saying? Of course you'd like to talk! Right?"
"Well, yeah, Mum. But…oh, I might as well get right to the point. James told me to come talk to you. You see, I've been really sick. Bad flu, I think…er, hope. Lots of earling [A/N it's what they apparently call upchucking in Mississippi, I thought it sound weirdly English] but not much else. Do you know what I have, Mum?"
"Earling? Not much else? Hmm… Lily, darling, if I'm not much mistaken, you're pregnant."
"WHAT!" Lily shrieked, jumping up. Her mother sat her down and calmed her.
"Lily, Lily! Relax, darling. Why, you don't want the child?"
"Mum, how can I be thinking about that? I just found out that I'm pregnant, for heaven's sake. How'm I going to tell James?" She was once again up, pacing the lawn in front of her mother, running her hair through her fingers as she usually did when she was nervous or confused. In this case, she was both.
"You, know, darling; I'm surprised you didn't know you were pregnant. I'd say at least two months, anywhere up to five. I remember when I was pregnant with Rosalind, I didn't show until I was four or five months, I'd say…"
"Mother, this is no time for reminiscing!"
"I'm sorry, Lily. But I think what you're going to have to do is just call James right now. It might be easier with me here. It's your choice, though."
"Oh, Mum! I don't want to tell him but I have to. I guess I'll just call him. Where's the phone?"
"The phone? I thought you'd have something magical you could do."
"Oh, Mum; I don't feel like doing that. I'd have to look at him while I was talking. So, where's the phone?"
"On the kitchen counter, next to the gardenias."
Lily went in the house and over to where the phone was. She picked it up and dialed the Godric's Hollow code and her home phone number, [A/N how am I supposed to know how English phone numbers work?] waiting for James to pick up.
"Hello?"
"Oh, James! It's me. Come to Mum's house quick. I've got something to tell you."
"Can't you just tell me over the phone? I'm watching football [soccer] on my WZTV. [wizard television]"
"James!"
"Okay, okay. I'm coming." He hung up.
Seconds later, he Apparated into the Evans' living room.
"Oh James!" Lily exclaimed, hugging him and holding him close.
"Women," he sighed, hugging her back. "So," he said, "what did you want to tell me?"
She stepped back for a moment. "Oh, yeah! It's just–well, I'm–you see–Mum? Some help?"
"James, she's pregnant."
"Well, I figured you were. Why d'you think I sent you to your Mum's?" he said to Lily.
"You-you knew?"
"No, I guessed."
"Well, either way, it's what Mum thinks. I really should go see a doctor or get a gynecologist."
"I'll call one tonight. We'll take our leave, Mrs. Evans. We'll see you."
"Good bye, James. And you should get someone with medical expertise, Lily. I'll see you out."
"No, it's okay. Bye."
James and Lily Apparated back to their cottage in Godric's Hollow.

[A/N Why do James and
Lily have a Muggle contraption like a phone in their house? Because Lily likes
to chat with her buddies when James is out or when she is just bored.
Yeah, I know this idea probably isn't original. And I'm pretty much a 13/y/old,
so I don't know much bout pregnancy. Don't blame me!]
