Telling James
James was lying his bed for about 5 minutes reeling from what Lily had said, and wanting to kick himself for making such a stupid mistake. He finally had her back in same room as him and all he did was argue with her and make her leave again, he felt like shit.
"Owww Black let go of me" he heard Lily shout fromt the end of the corridor
Then he saw Sirius practically throw Lily back into his room.
"Sirius what the hell are you doing?" shouted James
"You told me to bring her back" said Sirius
"I didn't mean drag her back kicking and screaming. Did he hurt you?" he said
"What the hell do you care?" spat Lily, she was angry but James could tell she had been crying.
"Of course I care. I would never lay a finger on you" said James
"Yeah, you just send this thug to do it for you" said Lily rubbing her wrists that were starting to bruise.
"Oh shit, I'm sorry I didn't know I was holding that tight" said Sirius sincerely sorry
"Yeah, whatever Black" said Lily
"Do you want me to get a healer?" said Sirius worried about how rough he had really been. He would never intentionally physically harm a woman
"I am a healer, idiot" snapped Lily
"Is there anything I can do?" asked Sirius
"Just stay the hell away from me. Both of you" she said
"Siri can you leave us?" said James
Sirius nodded his head and left, "if you need me I'll be outside"
"What? I don't want to talk to you ever again" snapped Lily
"I'm sorry. I think I misunderstood, are you pregnant right now?" said James
"No"
"So you were when you left me?"
"Yes, but I didn't know at the time" said Lily sitting down
"Wh-what happened, did you have an abortion?" 'did she hate me that much that she would kill me baby? She was the only woman I could ever imagine being the mother of my children even when she left, it was always her'
"No"
"So you..."
"Had the baby, yes I did" said Lily
"Oh... wow... whoah" said James in shock, he had a child, he was a father. He had no idea what to feel.
"Maybe I should come back later, when you've had time..." said Lily
"No, stay please tell me about..."
"Harry, his name is Harry" said Lily.
"Harry, I have a son"
"Uh huh"
"When? Why? How? What? Whoa..."
"He's almost a month old, he was born July 31. But you're other questions don't make any sense. Why was he born? That would be because we had sex. How he was born? That really isn't a pleasant topic. And what, that makes no sense."
James laughed softly at this, "Sorry I'm just a little thrown"
"Yeah, I guess you would be"
"Do you have a picture?"
"Yeah, I do" said Lily then she pulled a picture out of her bag and handed it to James.
"Oh he's..." said James a little overwhelmed, "He's gorgeous"
"He is" said Lily fondly, "I should go. You need time to think to think about... stuff"
"Stuff? What stuff?" said James
"Whether you want to be involved or not. I just turn up and tell you out of the blue and tell you, you have a son, that's gotta be..." said Lily
"Involved, of course I want to be there for him" said James surprised Lily would think anything else, "When can I see him? I have a son."
Lily almost laughed at James' expression, he looked just like he did when he won a Quidditch game against Slytherin when they were at Hogwarts. He hadn't changed that much, he was thrilled to be a dad.
"When do you get out of here?" she asked
"Not for another 3 days" he said unhappily
"You can see him then. We're staying with my parents til I find a place"
"Awww can't I see him before that. I have a son. I'm a DAD" cheered James
"Well... I don't really want to bring him to a hospital" said Lily
"Awww please" pleaded James putting on his best puppy dog eyes
"...Fine, I have to come in and sign some forms for my transfer. I'll bring him by tomorrow"
"Yessss!"
"But only for half an hour" said Lily, knowing that although James was caught up in being happy, he would get mad at her from keeping it from him, and she was not looking forward to that.
