Authors Note: A Reviewer asked me to have more exciting things in my story well—there will be…A lot of drama, and drastic things in my next chapters, in which I will probably be flamed for. But aye, that's a part of writing!
*~*~*
It had been three weeks since James and Lily's departure at the Platform 9 ¾ and Lily hadn't gotten a single letter or telephone call from James. She was beginning to worry. 'What if he hates me? What if he's found another girl? He always did with the rest of the girls…' Lily sat thinking these kinds of thoughts while looking out her bedroom window at Raven's house. Raven's parents Dan and Sharon had been very nice to Lily, and had treated her like a part of the family, for that Lily was very thankful. Lily was so dazed, and in her own thoughts that she didn't see a small blue car pull up into the driveway, and two people get out of the car, and go up to the house.
Lily came out of her dream-state when she heard the doorbell ring, and Raven answer the door. Lily walked down the hall, and looked down the stairs to see Raven standing with two boys. Sirius and James. Lily's heart skipped a beat when she saw James; he looked the same. Black unruly hair and deep brown eyes, glasses askew. She slowly walked down the stairs, never taking her eyes off of James, and his eyes never left hers. Green eyes met brown and an electrical shock practically ran through the house.
"Hi." James said breathlessly as he took Lily's hand. Sirius cleared his throat loudly and the two jumped. "Sorry." Mumbled James as he turned to look at the other two.
"So…are we going out?" Raven asked, holding Sirius' hand, and Sirius nodded and motioned for them to follow him outside. When the four got outside and to the car, the two girls looked skeptically at the car. Then they looked at Sirius.
"How are we going to fit in?" Raven said looking inside of the car. "There's only space for one person in the backseat, and I'm not going to be cramped up back there!"
"James and Lily are sitting back there, Love." Sirius said with a smug look on his face. "Now, lets go eat, I'm hungry!"
James crawled into the backseat, and Lily followed after him, sitting on his lap quietly. "Sorry if I have a bony butt." Lily said blushing. James just chuckled.
Sirius turned on the engine and they shot off to go to a restaurant, when they arrived they were seated and they talked of everything, the past the future and the present. After they ate they went home and played a few board games, namely one game—Twister.
If someone
were to walk into the house, they would think that something bad had happened.
Four teenagers entangled, their arms and legs wound about each other as they
laughed. Sirius was in the worst bind, though. "James!" He screeched. "Get your
butt out of my face!"
"Well," James bellowed back. "I can't really mov—" and with that Lily fell on top of James, and James fell onto Sirius who fell hard on the floor. Raven stood up and clapped her hands.
"Yeah! I'm the winner again!" Raven did a victory dance around the room, and everyone else pouted. Finally after playing Twister over and over, everyone finally got tired.
"Well I'm going to go to bed," Lily said as she stood up and yawned, everyone else sat about for a little bit, and finally James got up saying he wanted to tuck Lily in. Raven and Sirius shook their heads, and snuggled into each others arms, staring into the fire as James left.
*~*~*
Lily sat in her room brushing her hair before bed when she heard a small tapping at her door; she walked over and opened the door revealing James Potter. She stepped back so James could get into her room, he walked in looking around before sitting down in a chair in the corner where Lily usually read.
"So…this is your room?" James asked still looking around. Lily arched an eyebrow and said: "Yes, this is my room."
James sat while Lily finished brushing her hair, and she finally walked over to where James was, and sat down on his lap. They stared at each other for the longest time, just listening to the wind blow outside, and James kissed Lily softly on the lips, slowly deepening the kiss to a more passionate one. They slowly moved to the bed, and for the first time they showed their love for another. *
*~*~*
The next week Lily and James kept in touch, talking and hanging out, but what Lily didn't know is that Raven was becoming increasingly worried. Worried about something very serious. One early morning Lily walked down stairs, to see that Raven's parents had already gone on their vacation to America. They went to America once a year to see their relatives that lived there.
Lily looked up when she heard a weird noise coming form upstairs. She followed the sound up the stairs and she walked down the hallway. It sounding like crying, Lily hurried her steps until she found herself at Ravens room, where the sound was coming from. She opened the door and saw that Raven was sitting on the edge of her bed, still in her night clothes—Shorts and a tank top. Lily looked up into Raven's teary-eyed face and knew instantly something was very wrong.
"Raven! Raven? What's wrong?" Lily rushed across the room, and hugged Raven, Raven gripped onto Lily like she was a lifesaver, and that Raven was a drowning woman. "Tell me what's wrong, Raven! You're scaring me!" Raven combed her fingers through her dark disheveled hair, and her blue eyes looked up at Lily.
"Lily…I'm pregnant. Oh god, my parents are going to kill me! Oh god." Raven moaned again, and buried herself into Lily's lap crying hysterically. Lily could only look down at her crying friend in shock, and hope for the best.
"Does Sirius know?" Lily asked, holding her friend.
"No! And I'm terrified to tell him, too. What will he do? Oh god…" Raven got up and started pacing the floor frantically, Lily looked on helplessly as her friend paced the floor.
"Raven, stop pacing, your making me even more nervous! Are you going to keep the baby?" Lily stood up and walked over to her friend, and stood in front of her so she couldn't pace anymore.
"Of course! I love Sirius to death, and I wouldn't want anything more than to keep his baby, but what's he going to think, Lily?"
"Well…You don't know until you tell him." Lily said as she picked up the phone and called Sirius' house. "Hi! Sirius? Can you come over right now, please? No, no. Raven's not hurt, just come over, please? Yeah, Bye."
Lily looked up at Raven again, and looked back over Raven's features. "You need to get changed and to get your face washed, you look awful… Your going to be a mum, Raven!" Lily's face broke into a grin, and so did Raven's.
"But my parents will kill me. But… that's the worse that can happen…" Raven's face clouded over again. "What will I say to them?"
"Tell them the truth, love." Lily said as the got Raven some clothes, and rushed her off to the shower.
*~*~*
An hour later, the two girls heard a car driving up the road and someone pulling into the driveway. Two car doors closed and they heard footsteps coming up the path and the door opening emitting James and Sirius into the room. Sirius took one look at Raven's face and hurriedly walked over to her, and hugged her. James gave Lily the 'what's wrong?' look and Lily shushed him, and he sat beside Lily.
"What's wrong, Raven?" Sirius asked, his blue eyes pleading for an answer, Raven's blue eyes met Sirius' blue ones, and she sucked in a breath as if to calm her nerves and said quietly.
"Sirius, you're going to be a daddy."
