Chapter 3
James, Sirius, and Remus were at The Hogshead nursing a bottle of Fire whiskey. They were having the time of there life. James was singing Happy birthday to himself, even though it wasn't his birthday, and Sirius was flirting with every girl that walked past him. It was during James loud rendition of happy birthday that Lilly walked in. She had made up her mind, she would tell him. Looking around, she spotted James, Remus and Sirius in the corner. James and Sirius were swaying slightly, and Remus was laughing at his two friends. Lilly held her head high and walked over to where the Marauders were sitting. Remus was the first to see her.
"Hello Lilly," he said cheerfully, looking at her, then at James. "I'm sorry about James, he is a little tipsy tonight," Remus stated. Lilly nodded her head and shrugged. She was trying to be mad at him, but every time James sang off key:
"Happy Birthday dear—dear James," she laughed. Lilly thought for a moment, she was going to enjoy surprising James like this. She walked over to James and put her arms around his neck. He stopped singing and looked in to her eyes.
"Lilly," he said loudly.
"That's my name James," she said, turning away so she wouldn't have to smell his breath.
"What are you doing here?" he asked. Lilly smiled warmly up at him.
"I have something to tell you James," Lilly said softly. She took his face in her hands and looked him directly in the eye. His eyes were glazed over, and his expression was one of confusion. "We are going to have a baby," she said happily. James looked at her, a grin spreading across his face.
"I'm going to be a father," James shouted. Everyone in the pub clapped, and a toast was made to the upcoming baby. Sirius grinned and slapped James hard on the back. The force of the slap almost sent James crashing to the floor. Remus laughed and hugged Lily.
"Congratulations," Remus said, hugging her and smiling. He turned to look at his friends. "We'd better get them back to the castle." Lilly nodded, and they ushered James and Sirius out of The Hogshead. When they reached Gryfindor tower, Lilly nudged James up the boy's staircase. However, he didn't want to go alone. He pulled Lilly in to his arms and kissed her soundly on the lips. She pulled away from him and pushed him again.
"Maybe some other time," she said laughing. She turned and headed up the stairs to her dorm.
********************James, Sirius and Remus laughed as they recalled the memory.
"She really got you good the next day," Sirius said, grinning broadly. James laughed.
"I didn't remember what had happened, and when she told me I felt like such a jerk." Remus chuckled.
"You did make it up to her though," Remus stated. James nodded, and thought of his beautiful wife, and how lucky he was to have her.
