LAST CHAPTER

"I'm keeping the baby, I love my baby. I'll be in touch"

"Okay" said James numbly, he let go.

Lily picked up her bag and apparated to her mother's house.

Who's left

"Lily dear, how did you sleep?" asked Lily's mother the next morning.

"Fine," lied Lily. She hadn't slept at all, she couldn't stop thinking about what James had said about her mother.

'She wouldn't, would she? I mean I know she can be underhanded and she's never made a secret of the fact that she hates James. How would he know I was going to jump'

"Mum"

"Yes"

"Did you go and see James yesterday?"

"What are you talking about dear?"

'She'll never admit to it, if I make out she forced him'

"Oh nothing James just said you dropped by,"

"Well what's his word worth."

"Mum, I'm having his baby he's going to be in my life for the next 18 and a half years"

"That doesn't mean I have to like him"

"Mum were you with James yesterday, were you there when he signed the divorce papers?"

"Lily what is this about?"

"Just answer me"

"Yes, I went to see him to make sure he signed the divorce papers"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"You seemed upset, I didn't see the point"

"You made my husband sign our divorce papers and you didn't see the point in telling me," raged Lily.

"I didn't make him do anything, he signed those papers all by himself, it's for your own good, he wasn't right for you. And as for the baby, are you sure you want to have it? I called Doctor Bobby and he said you'll be in and out in few hours and you can start over and leave everything behind you. A fresh start for you"

"You bitch, you stay the hell away from me and my baby. I don't want to see you ever again," said Lily close to tears, she ran out of the room and upstairs to collect her things.

LATER THAT DAY

"Lils, do you have the report Moody was looki…" said Sirius going into Lily's office and finding her gripping onto her desk to stand up, "What's the matter?"

"I don't know, I just stood up and felt dizzy," said Lily.

"Right, okay, don't panic, sit down," said Sirius who was panicking more than Lily was.

Lily sat back down.

"Now, what happened. Have you eaten? Did you stand up too fast? Are you under extreme stress?"

"What are you my healer?" joked Lily.

"I was reading one of your pregnancy magazines," said Sirius.

"So what's been up? James told me what happened,"

"Yeah"

"He's in a right state, he was still in bed when I went to check on him this morning, he didn't come into work. I really do think you two should sit down and talk, I mean there's going to be a baby here in 6 months, it's not fair on them or you"

"I know, but I have had to deal with so much since finding out I was pregnant, and then this morning…. Did you know my mother 'encouraged' James to sign the papers. Did you also know that I am so stupid I can't bring myself to sign the papers, so James thinks we're divorced but I can't do it, I CAN'T DO IT," said Lily in tears again.

"Hey, shhh it's okay you don't have to cry,"

"That's all I seem to be doing."

"It alright, it'll all work out I promise, you and the baby will be fine"

"How can you know that? I was so happy when I found out I was having this baby, but now I've no' one left. James is gone, he signed the papers even if my mum was whispering in his ear, he still did it of his own free will, and because of that I don't even have my family. I have to do it all alone"

"No, no you don't, you'll always have James, he'll be there every step of the way for you both. And me I'll be there for you as well, and Remus, you still have us"
