secludeddark: thank you!
RaGe-nO: thank you! i believe that i've already read that one. i really enjoyed it!
sumrandumperson: ok, firstly, lily was able to hide keely from james for a whole three years because only charly, tori, and alice and herself knew about the baby. she never even saw sirius after that one day and she never saw james or remus since hogwarts. secondly, when james woke up he did recognize lily, lily didn't recognize him or sirius because she was too busy making sure james didn't die and sirius didn't recognize lily because he was too scared for his friend and lily was only a friend to him so he wasn't as familiar with her as james was if you know what i mean. and thirdly, lily was finished checking james and sirius for more injuries and she had already done enough for the hospital to get along without her. i'm sorry for the confusion and i hope this chapter is better.
Sweet Misery.23: well, if lily hadn't have apparated we wouldn't have this touching chapter now would we? i like this chapter!(for once)
CH. 3
She's Got Her Daddy's Eyes
"Charly!" Lily yelled as she appeared in her best friends kitchen.
"Charly! I came to get Keely! We have to leave now!" Lily yelled again. 'Oh No! What if they went out? I have no way to reach them!' Lily thought in her panic. At that moment Charly and Keely walked into the small apartment holding swirly ice cream cones. As soon as Keely caught sight of her mother standing in the kitchen she came running.
"Mommy!" the two year old screamed, jumping into Lily's outstretched arms. Charly walked up to the pair and caught sight of Lily's worried expression.
"I just came by to pick up Keely." Lily said quickly heading for the door. Charly stepped in, blocking her only exit.
"What happened Lils? Why aren't you at the hospital?" Charly demanded. Lily's eyes darted around, as if expecting someone to pop out of nowhere.
"Nothing happened. They can handle themselves at the hospital. I was there long enough to help them enough so I don't have to go in on my days off." Lily said in a high voice. Charly took Lily by the arm and dragged her to the couch.
"Did you run into him?" she asked. Lily nodded.
"Why are you worried? He has no idea you'd come here." Charly said calmly.
"Yeah, but Sirius does." Lily replied. Keely stared at Charly then her mother with wide eyes.
"What's happening mommy?" she asked in a scared voice.
"Nothing sweetheart. Everything is fine." Lily said soothingly to the young child sitting on her lap.
"Lily. Sirius and James…" Charly started to say but was cut off by banging on her front door. Lily looked up at Charly with frightened eyes.
"Please." She begged quietly. Charly shook her head.
"Lily, you gotta stop running away sometime. Let your baby girl meet her daddy." Charly said softly.
"No." Lily said angrily.
"Lily she needs a daddy. What would you have done without yours?" Charly tossed at Lily. Lily looked at Keely with soft eyes.
"Do you want to meet your daddy, baby?" Keely nodded and leaned her head against her mothers shoulder. Charly walked to the banging door and opened it to find a very angry Sirius and James looking as if he didn't want to be there.
"Hey." Charly said softly. "She's in here. She's scared so don't be harsh." Charly tried to calm Sirius.
"WHY THE HELL NOT! I DON'T GIVE A DAMN WHETHER SHE'S SCARED OR NOT!" Sirius roared. Charly took a step back as Lily covered Keely's ears in the other room.
"Don't use that language around the baby!" she said flatly. Sirius stood stock still and stared at her. James' eyes got wide as he looked at Charly.
"What do you mean?" Sirius asked. Charly sighed softly and held the door open for them.
"Follow me." She said softly and led them through the kitchen and into the living room. Lily sat on the couch slightly doubled over and whispering to herself, or so Sirius and James thought at the time. Charly led them around the back of the couch to the front, stopping in front of Lily. Lily was bent over and whispering things to a little girl that lay on her lap. Lily looked up as she sensed the three in front of her.
"Hi." She said meekly and sat the little girl up on her lap and whispered into her ear again. Charly was the only one that was able to hear what Lily whispered.
"Are you ready to meet you daddy?" the child nodded and Lily turned her around. The child was, simply put, adorable. She had her mothers' features but her eyes were a delicate hazel and her messy shoulder length hair was jet black. She wore a small red dress and white bloomers with small red flowers. James was blown away. 'She's so perfect.' He thought.
"She's got her daddy's eyes and hair." Lily said softly, gazing into her childs' eyes. "And his personality." She said with a laugh. James knelt down in front of the child.
"Who's is she?" he asked. Lily laughed at him, turning her head to look at him.
"You really don't know?" she asked. In the background Charly led Sirius into the kitchen. James shook his head no, but Lily thought he did.
"She's mine," Lily began and James nodded his head, still entranced by the little girl. "and she's yours." James smiled and looked up at Lily.
"She's beautiful." He smiled.
"T'ank you." The little girl said, startling James.
"She can talk!" he said in awe.
"Of course." Lily laughed, good-naturedly. James stood and sat on the couch next to Lily.
"What's her name? When's her birthday? How old is she?" James asked excitedly. He had a daughter! James Richard Potter had a daughter! Lily giggled and looked at the little girl before saying anything.
"Her name is Keely Jamesina Evans, her birthday is January 30 and she's two years and seven months old." Lily smiled at her daughter.
"Keely, sweetheart. This," Lily indicated James next to her, "this is your daddy. Do you want to give him a hug?" Keely nodded and looked at James as Lily let go of her tiny waist. Standing up, with the protective guard of her mothers hands, Keely slowly walked from Lily's lap to James' and wrapped her tiny arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. James gently wrapped his arms around Keely and turned his head to look at Lily. A tear slipped from his eye as he saw a true smile grace Lily's beautiful face and tears began welling up in her eyes. Lily threw her arms around both of them and joined the loving hug.
