Thanks for all the reviews…but I would really appreciate more! Sorry this took long, but like my eyes have been hurting so I can't stay on the computer for long periods of time…but thanks for reading!

Chapter 15—Not So Negative, I guess

"I'm so tired." Lily said, as she stifled a yawn.

"Lils, it's like 6:30." Katie responded.

"I know."

"What are we supposed to do until 8 oh clock?" Katie asked, propping her feet up on her desk at the ministry. Lily yawned again and rested her head on her desk which was across from Katie's. Suddenly the door slammed open incredibly loudly, causing Katie to push herself all the way backwards, since her feet her against her desk and Lily's head shot up.

"What's your PROBLEM, Sirius?" Katie snapped, getting up off the floor. The guys had arrived with bags of food for dinner.

"Don't have one." He grinned and offered his hand to help her up. "You had to admit it WAS funny. I mean, you like, flew off your chair."

"Ha-Ha-Ha." Katie responded back. James walked over and placed his hand on Lily's back.

"You okay?" He asked softly.

"Yeah, I'm just really exhausted." James bent down and kissed the top of her head as he dropped a bag of food on his desk next to hers.

Sirius heard a groan of frustration as he walked past Lily and James's room. He stopped and knocked lightly.

"Yeah?" Lily answered.

"Can I come in?"

"Sure." She responded.

"What's up?" He asked as he stepped inside. He saw Lily standing in front of the full-length mirror, a frown on her face.

"I'm fat." Sirius started laughing.

"No, you're not." He answered truthfully.

"This shirt is way tighter than it used to be." Lily whined.

"Lily, I remember you having that shirt in fifth year."

"So? I've always worn the same size since third year."

"But that was like 7 or 8 years ago. Somewhere around there."

"A few days ago I wore a shirt from when I was fourteen."

"Well, Lily, I hate to tell you, but you're not fat. Look, see how tiny these pants are?" Sirius grabbed a pair of jeans off the bed and held them up. "I could never fit into these." Lily laughed.

"Good. You're not supposed to. They don't fit anyway. They're too tight in the waist. I have got to stop eating chips."

"Whatever, Lils. I'll never understand girls, how they always think they're fat." Sirius said. However, he didn't get a response. He looked over at Lily and saw her pale and wide-eyed. "Lily? Are you alright?"

"Shit." He heard her whisper.

"What happened?" Before he got an answer, Lily took off out of the room. Sirius sat dumbfounded on the bed.

"Katie?" Lily stepped into Katie's bright, sunny bedroom.

"Hey, what's wrong?" Katie took in Lily's pale face.

"Can pregnancy tests be wrong?" Lily asked nervously.

"Well, yeah, but not usually. Why?"

"I think I'm pregnant. I think the test was wrong."

"Oh, no, Lils, really?" Katie responded, and Lily nodded. "What are you going to do?"

"I guess I'll just take it again. I did buy two in case I needed one another time."

"Go do it." Katie told her, and Lily sighed. "Good luck."

"Want me to call you when I find out?"

"Yes!" Katie answered and Lily left the room. Katie waited impatiently, and finally heard Lily call her name.

"I'm having a baby." Lily told her. Katie gasped and ran over and hugged her. Lily smiled, but it faded.

"You okay?" Katie seemed worried.

"Yeah, I guess."

"Lily! Come on, you're having a baby! You always wanted one!"

"I know, and it's great! But Katie, I'm only twenty-one." Lily answered.

"Lily, you're ready. I know you are. You'll be the perfect mom. Plus, you'll be twenty-two soon, anyway." Katie assured her.

"I suppose, even though twenty-two isn't much older than twenty-one, but thanks, Kate. It is exciting, isn't it?" Lily smiled.

"Yes!" Katie laughed and Lily joined.

"Now all I've got to do is tell James."

"Eek." Katie offered a sympathetic look.

"Yeah." Lily agreed.

Lily tapped her feet against the wooden floor of the sunroom. Where is he? She thought. She was nervously waiting for James to get back from the Ministry. The house was empty; Sirius and Katie went out to eat and Remus was away because it was the full moon. Peter was off doing something stupid. So, it was the perfect time to tell James the news. Finally, she heard the front door open.

"Lil?" James called.

"In here!" Lily responded and James appeared at the doorway.

"Hey." He placed his hands on her cheeks and kissed her sweetly.

"Sit down." Lily patted the couch next to her. "How was your day?" She asked.

"Rather boring. The Death Eaters seem to be riding low for now, so there's not much for Aurors to do. Are you coming in tomorrow?"

"Yeah." They sat in a comfortable silence for a while, looking out the window. "So, erm, I've got something to tell you. I hope you'll like it." Lily announced.

"Okay." James tried to remain calm.

"Erm, well, it's, like this." Lily took a deep breath. "We're having a baby." James's jaw dropped.

"Y-you're serious?" He asked and Lily nodded. "Wow." He was stunned, but he grinned.

"Is it okay?" Lily asked.

"Of course it is, Lily, I love you." He kissed her again. "This is great." He looked at her and Lily giggled.

"I'm glad." She said. James exhaled, leaned back on the couch and let out a short laugh. He pulled Lily towards him and they watched the sun setting slowly.

"Lily's pregnant." James announced to the other guys at work.

"What?" All three said in unison.

"Yup. We're having a baby." They were all stunned.

"So that explains why Lily thought she was fat." Sirius said, mainly to himself.

"What?" James asked.

"The other day, Lily was frustrated because her clothes were tight."

"Oh. Well, anyway, you think I can do it, right? Be a father?"

"I think you can." Remus said. "You've grown up, now. You'll be a good father."

"Yeah." Peter agreed.

"Plus, little baby will always have Uncle Sirius to turn to." Sirius grinned in James's direction. Remus and Peter laughed.

"I'd rather it fall out a window." James joked and they all laughed appreciatively.

"What about this one?" James asked.

"Ermmm…maybe." Lily considered. They were relaxed on their bed looking at pictures of houses. Seeing as Lily was pregnant, they though it was best if they moved out of the apartment. James let out a sound of frustration.

"You're so picky!" He told her.

"If we're buying a house, I want one I'll really like."

"Fine. How's this one?" James showed her a picture.

"Oh! I like this one! Where is it?"

"Godric's Hollow."

"I've been through there before. It's pretty. "

"So you're thinking this house?" James asked.

"I love it. I wanted a brick one, and I think this is it. It's gorgeous."

"Okay, we'll look into it."

"Good, because it's perfect." Lily smiled and James joined her in a grin.

"I'm so sick of this stomach." Lily looked down at her large, protruding belly.

"Hey, you're pregnant, get over it." Katie smirked. They were in Diagon Alley, looking for baby stuff. "How much longer do you have left?"

"A month. Tomorrow's the last day I'm working until after the baby's born."

"It's so exciting."

"I know. I can't wait." Lily and Katie smiled.

"C'mon, let's pay for this and get some ice cream." Katie said, leading Lily to the cash register. She left the store carrying 3 bags of toys, blankets and adorable baby clothes. As they were walking down the cobblestone road, they heard their names.

"Lily? Katie?" A voice behind them spoke loudly. They turned around to see Jason. He glanced at Lily's stomach and bags, then looked back at her face.

"I recognized the hair. So how have you been? Good? It's been like 3 years."

"Yeah, it has. I'm, erm, good, you?" Lily asked politely.

"Fine. So, er, who's the guy?" He gestured towards Lily's stomach.

"Potter. We're married now."

"Really? Well, congratulations." He said and Katie rolled her eyes. Jason was never one of her favorite people. "When is it due?"

"End of July or the beginning of August. Around then.."

"Wonderful. Well, it was great to see you, and again, congratulations." He told her.

"Bye, Jason." Lily said.

"So how's the move going?" Katie asked Lily was they walked to the ice cream shop.

"It's great. We've almost got everything unpacked. I love the house. We're pretty much just setting up the baby's room right now."

"Awesome." They laughed and talked while enjoying their ice cream and looking through the bags of everything cute Lily bought.

"James?" He heard Lily call.

"Yeah?"

"Come here!" She said. He went out to the sitting room. "I think my water broke." She held her stomach.

"Oh! Okay, errrrr…" He started to get nervous.

"Hospital!" Lily told him.

"Right! Hospital! Are you okay to apparate?"

"Yes! Let's go!" She said. They arrived at St. Mungo's and quickly got Lily a room in the Maternity Ward. James was kicked out as they did some tests and checked on Lily, so he decided to tell everyone what was going on. He apparated to the apartment and both Sirius and Katie let out a startled yell, because he apparated into the room they were in.

"Lily's having the baby!" He announced.

"Whoa, you okay there, Prongs?" Sirius and Katie both got up.

"I've never been so nervous in my life." He laughed.

"Let's go!" Katie said.

"Moony! Wormtail! Hospital! It's baby time!" Sirius shouted before he apparated. The three of them arrived there and were joined shortly after by Remus and Peter.

"Mr. Potter?" A nurse came outside Lily's room.

"Yes?" James looked at her.

"It's time." She smiled.
