Authors Note: Hi! Wow, everyone seemed a tad bit surprised with Raven being pregnant. Well…She is! No lucky 'Oh I thought I was, but I'm not' thing. This is the BIGGGG Deal. The cheese!
*~*~*
"Sirius, you're going to be a daddy." Raven said as she looked nervously at Sirius. Sirius inhaled sharply, and looked at Raven's teary-eyed face, then over to Lily who nodded. James looked as if he was going to faint.
"I-I'm going to be a daddy," Sirius said, looking at the floor. He stood up and walked by the window, looking outside for a minute. Raven just looked at Sirius nervously again, then back to Lily. Sirius turned back around with tears streaming down his face, and yelled: "I'm going to be a daddy!" and he proceeded to pick Raven up and spin her around in his arms.
As Sirius put Raven back on the ground his face became sober again. "Do you're parents know?" He asked calmly, and Raven said no quietly. "Well, they'll be home in two days, we will tell them together, don't worry. We'll be married after we get out of Hogwarts, I promise that to you, Raven."
Raven hugged Sirius, and cried on his shoulder. Lily looked at the two and then jerked her head to James that they should leave the two alone. They left the living room, and went outside into the garden, where Lily sat down on the bench.
"Wow," James said as he sat down next to Lily. "I can't believe they're going to have a baby… it seems weird, Sirius being a dad and all."
"Yeah…but they are perfect for each other, James. But them staying together isn't the problem I'm thinking of. I'm worried about her parents—her dad is very religious and believes in chastity."
James shook his head and stood up looking down the road, then back up to the house where he could see Raven and Sirius talking through the window. "What about her mother? How will she take it?"
"I don't know," Lily said looking up at James. "I think she'll be glad, but I don't know. Baby-business is very serious."
*~*~*
Two days later Raven, Sirius, and Lily were sitting in the living room, Raven was a pale white color and Sirius was pacing the floor. Any minute Dan and Sharon would be coming back from their trip, and everyone was scared to death. After an hour or so they heard the sound of a car pulling up into the driveway, and two car doors closing. Raven went even paler, and Sirius sat down in a chair heavily, making a loud thud in the deadly silence.
The three could hear as the two parents walked up the walkway, and up to the door, slowly opening it. "We're home!" They both called as they put their coats away in the closet, and walked into the Living room. Once Sharon saw how pale her daughter was, she ran over checking to see if her forehead was hot.
"Love, what's the matter? Are you sick?" Sharon asked as her green eyes looked down at Raven, concern written all over her face. Dan sat down in a chair right next to Sirius, which made him squirm in his spot. Dan looked at Sirius a minute then looked over at his daughter. Raven cleared her throat and motioned Sirius to sit beside her on the couch, which he sat down gratefully.
"Mum…Dad, I have something to tell you." Raven said, as she brushed a stray hair back from her face. "Now, don't be angry but I wanted to tell you this…I-I'm Pregnant." Two gasps emitted into the room, and Dan's face turned a deep red color. "Wait…Daddy, don't say anything until I have said what I need to say.
Sirius and I decided to keep the baby, we're to be married after we get out of Hogwarts." Raven looked from her father to her mother; Dan looked beyond Livid, and Sharon looked teary-eyed.
"My baby's going to have a baby!" Said Sharon as she threw her arms around Raven, then she hugged Sirius. "Oh, I can't wait until I can get the baby clothes, and I can throw a shower—"
"You'll get rid of it!" Roared her father. "I won't have you having a baby before your married, I won't have it! If you keep it, you are no longer my daughter, and I want you to move out!"
Raven stood up, but not before Sirius did. Sirius stood up and glared at Dan, Sirius looked almost as angry as Dan. "Now listen to me," Sirius growled. "If Raven wants to keep the baby, she can keep it. Now if you kick her out now, she can live with me. The baby doesn't need to be around a tyrant like you."
Dan's face went a deeper color of red, and he launched himself apon Sirius, trying to choke him. Raven shrieked and jumped apon her father, Lily started trying to pry Raven off of her father, and Sharon was screaming hysterically. Dan reached back to his daughter and pushed her so hard that she flew backwards, and skidded across the wooden floor. This made Sirius even angrier that he hit Dan until his nose bled.
"Stop it, Stop it!" Shrieked Sharon as she pulled Sirius and Dan apart. Both men were breathing heavily; Sirius had a black eye blossoming on his right eye, and Dan had a split lip and bloody nose. "Now Dan, you can move out of this house right now if you are going to say such things about Raven, and try to kill her love."
Dan glared at everyone in the room, and proceeded to grab his coat, and suitcase and leave the house. A few moments later they heard the sound of a car door slamming, and the screeching of tires up the street. Sharon ran over to where Raven was laying on the floor, panting and helped her daughter to her feet. She ushered the teenagers into the kitchen where she proceeded to make them sandwiches.
"Mum, you're tired, you need to go lay down," Raven said as she watched her mom from the other end of the table.
"Love, I'm fine. After that incident I'm no longer tired. You just enjoy your sandwiches. Sharon glanced hastily over at Sirius who was eating a peanut-butter banana sandwich and shuddered. "If you can eat while Sirius eats that." Sirius looked up at Sharon and grinned, who smiled back and patted him on the shoulder. "My baby's going to be a mum…" Sharon then got teary-eyed again, and sniffled.
"Aww, mum." Sirius said as he got up and hugged Sharon, who hugged him back and sniffled. Raven looked at the two, and then to Lily who smiled.
"What about dad?" Raven mumbled, looking out the window. No sight of her fathers' car was seen.
"Ah. If he doesn't cool down about the situation, then he'll have to stay out, I won't have him acting like that in my household." Sharon then sat down for a while, munching on her sandwich, and making small talk with the teens. She then went up to her room, to rest.
"Wow…I didn't know your dad would do that," Lily said looking at Sirius' bruised face. "I thought he would be at least calm about it." Raven shrugged and handed Sirius another banana.
"Well, I don't care about him. He never did anything for me, anyways." Raven said. A few minutes later an owl swooped through the window carrying three letters: their book and supply list for the year. They all looked through their packages, and Raven laughed a bit at what she saw on her letter, Lily and Sirius looked over at her paper and at the bottom in tiny letters said 'congratulations!' "Wow. News sure does fly fast. When are we going to go to Diagon alley?"
"How about…tomorrow? Tomorrow is Saturday, and I bet James could go."
"Tomorrow it is!" Lily said as she got up to owl James about tomorrow—Sirius stayed long into the night talking to Raven, and no signs of Dan returning were seen.
