Thanks for the reviews! I'm sorry it's been so long but I've been sick and just got back from a weekend road trip. I should be working on a few things, but I just had to update, it's been close to a week! Has anyone read the diary of Anne Frank and knows what happens? lol This one I think is gonna be really good! It's also gonna be a little bit longer than normal, so hopefully that'll make up for the wait. Well anyway.... here is Chapter 4 in Unexpected Love! Erin
Lily stared at Angela who still hadn't noticed her standing there. Why didn't Angela ever tell me how serious her and Sirius were? She then suddenly thought of how busy she'd been this year, and how much she had to miss because of her prefect duties. With a pang of guilt, she realized if she had been there more this might not have happened. If her and Angela were as close as they used to be, she would have immediately told her, and Lily could have told Angela how much she was rushing into this relationship.
Lily pushed the thought aside, the fact was that she wasn't there, and Angela was in this situation. She cleared her throat softly and Angela looked up, and tried to cover up the stick. Angela looked at her with bloodshot eyes and immediately started crying again. Lily ran over and started hugging her and whispering positive things. If anyone would make a good mother it would be Angela, just maybe in six or seven years! She was caring, kind, smart, understanding, and quite pretty. She was everything and perfect at it, but Lily knew this could change everything.
Angela always wanted to be a witchologist, or in muggle terms, a scientist. The only thing was you had to be perfect to be accepted. Angela always was, until now, and Lily didn't think the witch counsel would accept a young mother, un-married, and just graduated.
After a while, Lily asked quietly, "How can I help?"
"Can you tell Sirius?" Angela looked so pitiful Lily knew she couldn't say no.
"Okay, do you want me to go to him now?" Angela nodded and then added, "Don't let him go telling the school! I don't know what I'm gonna do yet."
Lily raced down the hall, how was she gonna tell Sirius?! Then it came to her, she had to talk to James, he would know what to do! Speaking of James, she thought, where is he? Probably dancing with all the girls she thought bitterably. She would have to be mad at him later, right now she had a crisis!
As she turned to go into the great hall, she saw a figure sitting on the steps to the front entrance. Her heart lurched when she realized James was staring out at the lawns with a sad look in his eyes. He's really upset she thought to herself miserably! She walked quietly up to him. "James," she whispered softly. He spun around and stared at her.
"Lily, is everything okay, I hope you aren't mad at m-" she cut him off with a sad smile.
"No things aren't all right, and we need to talk."
He led her out to the grounds, and gave her his coat when he noticed her shiver. It was still pretty cold for February. They walked to a little enclosed spot, so that any teachers looking out who weren't intoxicated yet, couldn't find them. As she turned to face him tears started streaming down her eyes.
"Angela's pregnant," she blurted out, before she got too scared. James looked at her blankly. "Ohh, That's pretty bad, what is she gonna do?"
Lily hadn't thought of that yet, and before panic could set in she added. "James, that's not the point right now! What's important is who the father is!"
"Lily, I swear upon Merlin's beard that I am NOT the father! I've never even ha-"
"For Christ sakes James! Don't you get it?! I know your not the father! Sirius is!" "......."
James couldn't believe what he was hearing! He knew Sirius could be stupid sometimes, but he never knew he was dumb enough to get a girl pregnant! "Your joking right?" was the only sensible response he could think of.
"Ohh yeah, I just come down here an hour and a half late for one of the biggest dances of the year to make something like this up for fun!" she yelled exasperated! She knew guys didn't like to hear the truth, but being in downright denial!
"Okay Lily calm down, why are you telling me this?"
"Angela wants me to tell Sirius," she muttered blushing, knowing how stupid that must sound. "Holy shit! And you said yes!?"
"What else was I supposed to do?"
"Umm...say no?"
"James!"
"Sorry...I'll be serious. But that still doesn't answer why your telling me."
"Well......I was wondering if you could help me tell him."
"What?"
"Please James! I can't do it by myself and your his best friend!"
"Fine, we might as well get it over with now."
They walked into the great hall and found Sirius with a whole group of girls dancing with him. Sirius never looked happier. "He just can't be happy with one girl can he?" James muttered with obvious disgust.
"I thought you were doing the same thing, since me and Angela didn't show up and all." Lily replied, ashamed that she could think that.
"Ohh Lily, I could never do that to you," he said, pulling her close.
Lily tried not to get all mushy when they had a mission to accomplish. "Sirius," James said pulling him by the arm away from the group, "We gotta talk."
"Couldn't you see I'm a little busy?" Sirius responded trying to get back to the group of girls. "I thought Angela was your date tonight," Lily said rather testily.
"Well she couldn't make it and others could. And you know how much the world would hate it if I couldn't share the love," he smiled, trying to shrug it off.
"I think you've done enough of that," James replied gruffly, finally releasing his arm, sending him sprawling.
"Hey what was that for?" he asked, hugging his arm, "And where are we?"
Lily looked around and realized they were on the edge of entering the Forbidden Forest. "We gotta tell you something that's really important," they said together. Sirius nodded seeing their solemn faces. James deciding to get it over with said, "Man, I don't know how stupid you can get but you got Angela pregnant. Ughh....my best friend! I thought you would have more sense!" Sirius looked at them blankly, "What the hell are you two talking about?"
"Yeah, that's right, you go and get Angela pregnant, go flirting with other girls while she's upstairs crying her bloody eyes out, and then you deny it! You're such a jerk!" Lily said, and started shaking she was so mad.
Sirius looked at them with disbelief. "Your lying!" he yelled before taking off for the forest. "I gotta go after him Lily, when he's upset he does some dangerous things, and in the Forbidden Forest, that could mean death."
"Okay I should probably go and check out how Angela's doing."
"Lily what's wrong? I'm really sorry we didn't get to go to the dance, but there's always next year."
"It isn't that James, I'm just scared...."
"About what?"
"I'm scared that that might be us next year," she said terrified of having to go through all the stuff Angela will have to put up with.
"Don't worry Lily, I don't think we'll ever be in that situation. But if we are one day, I'll take full responsibility of what we did, and stick with you so that the baby could have a father. I'm just not so sure about him," he said, pointing to the forest. "I better go talk some sense into him." He ran off but turned around after only a short distance. "Meet me in the prefects lounge around midnight, I need to tell you something." With that he was off into the night, and was soon out of view.
Lily headed to the Fat Lady, away from the music and dancing. As she stepped inside after dodging the questions of why she was back from the dance so early, she headed to the staircase and made her way to the girls dormitories. As she pulled back the drapes to Angela's bed she found her asleep with a note book underneath her head.
Looking curiously at the notebook, Lily slid it out from underneath her head and started reading it. It was written in Angela's perfect handwriting, and was wet, as if she cried while writing it. Lily's eyes opened wide, and she suddenly dropped the notebook, and sank into a chair. She put her head in her hands and sighed deeply. "Oh shit, what am I gonna do?" The page fell, and anyone in the room could read the big letters that started it.
Options
1. Stay in Hogwarts, keep the baby
2. Leave Hogwarts, keep the baby
3. Get an abortion
The third option had a big red circle around it. Angela was gonna get an abortion!
What do you think? Is this going in the way you guys want it to? Let me know! The goal for this chapter is 33!
