Lily stood pacing the floor nervously. It had been a few months into her new Auror job, and she had started getting sick—very sick in the mornings. She paced the floor, trying to think. Could she be pregnant? She paced the floor more, trying to count up the days in her head.
"Could I be?" Lily whispered to herself. She sat down on her couch, and stared at the ceiling.
James was at Sirius' house playing exploding snap poker with the Marauders, and he should be home in fifteen minutes. Lily watched as the clock counted down the minutes. Fifteen minutes turned into fifteen centuries to her. Finally a small –pop—emitted from the kitchen, and Lily dashed in to see Sirius and James.
"Hey Lils!" Said Sirius, hugging Lily. Lily hugged back, and then cleared her throat.
"James, I need to talk to you…in private," James looked at Lily questioningly, but followed her anyways. Lily led him into the Living Room, and before closing the door; she saw Sirius at the kitchen table eating an apple.
"What is it, Lily? Did something happen while I was gone?" James said, sitting down. Lily noticed that he had soot on his face. 'He must have had the exploding cards,' Lily thought.
"Well, James, I think I'm pregnant," Lily said looking down at the floor. Right after Lily said that, James got up and yelled happily. Lily smiled a bit. "But… what about what happened to Raven? Could that happen to me?" James stopped his happy dance instantly.
"I will not let that happen. You won't die with this child. Besides, I believe you'll have a healthy baby!" Lily smiled at this, and they walked back to the kitchen, where they saw that Sirius was now eating all of their fruits in the house.
"Hey, Sy. Back off the fruits!" James chided, and Sirius looked at him questioningly "Lily needs them to keep the baby healthy!" At this, Sirius smiled, and bear hugged Lily, she gasped for breath until he let her go.
"Oww." Lily said as she stepped back. "I think you about broke my back!"
"Ooops, sorry Lils. I'm so happy for you, and I bet Raven and Stephen are glad, too!" Sirius said. Sirius had gotten over Raven's death, and was going on with his life. "You know what I found?" Sirius said, pretty much interrupting himself. "I found the most kick-assed motorcycle…! I'm going to have Arthur Weasley enchant it to fly! It'll be awesome!"
"Wicked," Said James as he sat down at the table, and they began to talk.

"Where are they?" a tall man in black robes whispered.
"I-I-I…don't know!" Said a small woman as she cowered down in front of the man. "I swear I don't know. I knew them in Hogwarts, but that's it. I hated Lily!
The man laughed cruelly at the girl's cries, and he took out his wand, his long pale fingers practically glowing in the moonlight. He pointed his wand at the girl, and the girl cried louder, her screams not being heard, for they were out in a deep forest. "Avada Kedarva!" The man yelled, and Tiffany lay still.
*~*~*
Lily sat in her house, quietly waiting. She was waiting for her Pregnancy test to see if she was Pregnant. James sat beside her on the Bathtub, barely breathing. Lily finally said it was time to look, and she looked down at the test.
"What is that?" Said Lily tilting her head sideways. "Oh..it must be a…" James couldn't take it anymore; he grabbed the test, and looked at it. Lily smiled as he put two and two together.
"We're having a baby!" He yelled as he danced around. "Oh yeah, I'm gonna be a daddy, oh yeah! We gotta call the boys! They'll want to know!" James said as he went to the Fireplace. He threw some powder into the Fireplace, and Sirius' head suddenly appeared in the Fireplace.
"Hello, Uncle Sy!" Lily said smiling. "You're gunna be an Uncle Sy! Or Godfather!" Sirius whooped inside of the Fireplace.
"I'll be there in a moment!" Sirius said and with a pop he was gone.
*~*~*
The Marauder's came over, and they had a party in honor of James and Lily's first child. James' parents came over shortly after, and they partied alongside the happy God Fathers.
*~*~*
The next day, Lily was looking through her Muggle Post when she saw a letter from her sister Petunia. She opened the letter quickly and read:
Dear Lily,
This is you're once Sister, Petunia. I was writing to say that I am married, and I am with-child. Do you know what today is, you murderer? Today is the day of our parent's death. I hope you have a wonderful day.
Sincerely,
Petunia Dursley
Lily looked once more at the letter and crumpled it up and threw it in the fireplace.
"Damned bitch," She said as she went to fix herself a sandwich.
