Lily snuck out of James room the next morning and closed the door behind her. Last night had been
one that she had only dreamt about and she was thankful that she had James. Even for a short
time.
She walked down the steps and into the kitchen, hoping to be alone but found Sirius down there with a cup of coffee in his hands.
"Have fun last night?" Sirius asked with a wink as she sat down gingerly on a stool.
"Shut up," Lily said, glaring at him.
"It's not like I didn't guess what you two were doing in there. All alone. In the middle of the night. You realized didn't you?" Sirius asked her, looking down at his cup.
"Realized what?" Lily asked him.
"That you may not be able to do that with him ever again," Sirius said simply.
"Yes. Yes I did," Lily admitted as she looked down at her hands. She found it hard to look Sirius in the eye and talk to him about such an wonderful experience of true love.
"Nancy and I realized two months ago. You weren't the only ones realizing last night," Sirius said softly. As if on cue, Alice came down the steps slowly and gingerly a meek smile upon her face.
"Um, good morning," Alice said as she sat down just as gingerly on another stool.
"You too huh?" Lily asked her knowingly.
"Yes," Alice answered, her face flushing.
"Us too," Lily reassured her.
"Want to find out if your pregnant?" Nancy's voice asked as she walked down the steps.
"How?" Alice asked.
"Simple. Just take your wand, point it to your stomach and say, 'Please tell me if a child is growing in there.' It's that simple," Nancy said. She handed her wand over to Lily. Lily looked down at it and pointed it at herself. She took a deep breath and swallowed hard.
"Please tell me if a child is growing in there," Lily whispered.
"Yes, there is a child," The wand said. Lily looked up in surprise.
"It doesn't lie," Nancy answered, a smile upon her face. Lily handed the wand over to Alice.
"Please tell me if a child is growing in there," Alice said softly.
"Yes, there is a child," The wand said again. Alice smiled and raced back up the stairs.
"Are you going to go and tell James?" Sirius asked. Lily shook her head.
"I'll wait until he is awake," Lily said.
"He will be awake once you tell him," Nancy encouraged. Lily sighed and walked up the steps.
She found James sleeping soundly in the same position that she had left him in. She turned on the light and gently shook him awake.
"What is it Lils?" James asked her, concern etching into his face.
"We're pregnant, James," Lily said softly.
"Harry? We made Harry already?" James said, his voice filling with pride.
"Yes we did," Lily said, smiling.
"OH HECK YEAH. WHO'S THE MAN!" James yelled. Lily shook her head.
"I mean, that's wonderful. That's so wonderful. I get a son!!" James pulled her into his arms and kissed her softly. He broke away and pulled her downstairs.
"I'M GONNA HAVE A SON!!" James yelled as they ran down the stairs.
She walked down the steps and into the kitchen, hoping to be alone but found Sirius down there with a cup of coffee in his hands.
