Chapter fourteen.

"I'm twenty years old and one day!" Lily announced at breakfast the next morning. "James, we need to finish planning the wedding, I have to buy a dress and write my vow."

"Okay." James said, and then it hit him, the wedding was only a month and a half away. April the 21st.

Lily suddenly grasped her hand to her mouth and ran out of the room, leaving Harry and James sitting there confused.

"What was that all about?" Harry asked, but then he heard the sound of his mother's retching. She was vomiting.

"Maybe this milk is off." James suggested,

"Probably." Harry said; pushing the milk away and then they dismissed the subject.

"Remus where are you going?" Jen asked; she had recently moved into Remus' apartment, "I thought you weren't working today."

"I have to go somewhere, my aunt is unwell." Remus said quickly, Jen eyed him suspiciously. Why was he making things up? She could see straight through him, he was lying to her.

"Remus don't lie to me. Tell me what you are doing." Jen said, Remus sighed heavily; he would have to tell her.

"Did you see the moon last night?" he asked her,

"What? Yes, why?" Jen asked,

"What shape was it?"

"Almost a full moon. What does this have to do with anything?"

"What happens to some wizards on full moons?"

"Some people become werewolves, but…" Jen's blue eyes widened in shock,

"Yes, I'm a werewolf. I'm going to transform today. I'll understand if you don't want to be with me anymore. I have to go." Remus said, then he turned and walked out the door, determined not to look back.

Jen didn't understand, why didn't he tell her? She sat down on the couch and ran a hand through her long dark hair. She wasn't sure what to do; she loved Remus, or at least she thought she did. She needed Lily's help.

Harry and James had gone to see James' parents for the day. Lily was at the house alone, she hadn't gone with them because she didn't feel well. There was a knock at the door, Lily got up from her seat and walked over to the door, she pulled it open and saw Jen standing in front of her, twitching nervously.

"Jen, what…?"

"Hi, uh, can I come in?"

"Sure." Lily stood aside, letting Jen step through the door.

"Um, did you know about Remus?" Jen said,

"His 'sick aunt'? His furry little problem?" Lily guessed.

"Yeah, I just found out, I'm not sure what to do. Can you help me?"

"Well, it's not my relationship, how do you feel about it?"

"I don't know."

"How do you feel about Remus?"

"I love him."

"Then that solves it. You stay with him despite his 'sick aunt'"

"But what about the dangers?"

"Sirius and James go with him every time, they're animagi."

"Oh, now I understand the nicknames." Jen said, feeling much better about it all.

"Yeah. Oh my god!" Lily clutched her stomach and ran from the room, Jen heard an awful sound, Jen walked down the hall and stopped outside the bathroom door.

"Lils? Are you ok?"

"I'm…fine…oh god… I just drank some bad milk!" she called, between retching.

"Lily, I'm coming in." Jen said, she opened the door and saw Lily sitting by the toilet bowl, puking into it.

"This is the second time today, something isn't right." Lily said, when she had finished, she leaned against the wall and breathed deeply, "Urgh, I feel disgusting."

"I don't think it's the milk Lils." Jen said,

"Then what is it?" Lily asked,

"I think you're pregnant."

"Harry?"

"Yeah."

"His birthday is July the 31st. That means that if I'm almost two months. I just thought I was putting on a few kilos. Does it show?"

"No, not yet." Jen laughed.

"I can't believe I didn't realize. How stupid am I?"

"Not really, it's common in witches for pregnancy symptoms to come late."

"How do you know?"

"My sister Katherine had a baby six months ago, she didn't realize till she was four months pregnant."

"Wow. This is so unbelievable. I have a little child inside of me," Lily said, "I need to tell James. I'm going to go over to his parent's house, want to come?"

"No thanks, I'm going to find Remus, then tell him I'm sorry. Thanks for helping me."

"Thanks for making me realize."

Lily rapped on the door and waited patiently. A kind looking witch answered the door; she had a tea towel slung over her shoulder. Her eyes were bright blue and her hair was dark black, she reminded Lily of Jen, even though there was no relation between them.

"Lily!" she exclaimed as she pulled Lily into a tight hug, "How are you?"

"I'm great Mrs. Potter. How are you?"

"I'm wonderful, and Lily, we're family now, you must call me Helen."

"Ok, Helen." Lily said,

"Come in dear, I'm baking a caramel mud cake."

As soon as she stepped through the door she smelt a wonderful aroma. Ever since Helen Potter had retired from her Auror work she had done a lot of cooking. Harold Potter however, was still an Auror, still working full time.

"Did you meet Harry?" Lily asked,

"That's who the cake is for!" she said cheerfully, "I have a grandson! A wonderful young boy. They're outside playing quidditch."

"I have news." Lily said, "I'm pregnant. With Harry."

"Wow!" Helen said, giving Lily another hug, "Well, you better go out there and tell James!"

"I will."

Lily walked out the back door and called James down to the ground; Harry followed,

"I'll tell you shortly. I'm pregnant, with you Harry." Lily said bluntly,

"You mean, I'm in there?" Harry said, pointing to his mother's stomach, James just looked from Harry to Lily's tummy, and back again.
