CHAPTER 12

The next week flew by; before she knew it school was out. Then the following week was Christmas. She and Andrew had nearly been together for a month! It was now Christmas morning and they were at the Burrow, her grandparent's house. They had opened their presents and they were all lounging around in the sitting room. Lilly stood up and cleared her throat.

"First of all I want to say how much I love you all. Each of you has helped me so much. As you all know Lord Macafoy is set to return in a few months. Andrew and I have worked tirelessly and we have a battle plan! On another note you are all aware that Chris and I broke up a while ago. He proved to me that there are very few men I could trust.

My Uncles and Grandfather!

My best friend and Cousin Danny.

My father, I love you daddy!

And last but not least Andrew," Lilly said. As she pointed to Andrew and he stood up and walked to her.

"So I have an announcement to make. Andrew and I have decided to be together. " Lilly said as she closed her eyes expecting yelling, screaming, and possibly a few hexes thrown at Andrew. But what she heard was laughter and praises

"Oh, it is about time, honestly!" Her grandmother Molly said.

"We knew it was bound to happen," her uncles Fred and George and George said in unison.

Harry stood up and walked over to Lilly and Andrew, He shook Andrews hand and said "Welcome to the Family, son." Then Harry turned to Lilly and kissed her on the fore head. "My sweet Little Lilly, I love you so much. I was hoping you two could get together," He said as he walked back to the chair and sat down.

"Well I am so happy you all feel this way. I want you all to know that I love Lilly very much and that is why I gave her this promise ring." Andrew said as he lifted Lilly's hand to show everyone. They got nothing but praise. Lilly was so happy, this is going so well! She thought to her self.

"There is one smaller announcement," Lilly said softly. "I'm pregnant."

The room went dead silent.

"WHAT?" Danny yelled in disbelief.

"Lilly and I are going to have a baby boy!" Andrew said as she hugged Lilly and smiled.

The room was so quite you could hear a pin drop. Lilly looked up and met her fathers eyes and all she saw was disappointment, Harry hung his head and crossed the room and went up stairs and lock him self in a spare bedroom. The rest of the male members of her family followed suite sans Danny.

No one spoke for the longest time; Lilly eyes were starting to tear up, when Danny finally spoke.

"Andrew, how could you do this to us, you were my best mate!" Danny yelled turning tomato red.

"Dan, this had nothing to do with our friendship. This is about me and Lilly. I love her and we are going to raise this baby together.

"You will get married as soon as possible, tomorrow ever, I could…" Molly started but was interrupted by Lilly.

"No Nana, we are not going to get married. Nothing is going to change. We will continue to love together, I will go to school, Andrew will teach and we will defeat Lord Macafoy together. In the future, if and when we decide to marry we will let you all know." Lilly said as calmly as she could. Danny got up and stormed up the stairs, so did her aunts to find their husbands. He grandmother stood and walked to the kitchen and started cleaning. Leaving only Andrew, Lilly, Ginny and Hermione in the room.

"Lilly, I can't say I approve entirely with this, but I will support you no matter what," Ginny said with a reassuring smile.

"Lilly, you are old enough to make your own decisions, we have always been close, and I promise no matter what you have my support." Hermione said, "Now I have to go find your uncle Ron before his head explodes."

Hermione left and went upstairs. It was dead quite, before Andrew spoke, "Mrs. Potter, I know this was not expected, but I want you to know that I love Lilly, I always have. I plan to take care of Lilly and this baby for the rest of our lives; I swear that I will not let Macafoy hurt her."

"Andrew, I know you love Lilly, you actually remind me of my husband, when we were young. Harry will come around. Lilly, I know he is not mad. He is just disappointed; he wanted such great things from you." Ginny said.

"Mum, but this is a great thing, I know I wanted to be an Auror, but being a mother is so much better, I have the most amazing feeling. I know Dad is disappointed but I love Andrew, and I know grandma is upset, but I am not going to get married just because I am having a child, I do love Andrew, eventually I do want to marry him, but I want to make sure Lord Macafoy is defeated. Nothing is going to stop me this time."

"Lil, you are so strong, but just think carefully about everything. Now I think you and only you should go up to the attic and talk to your father, Andrew you can stay down here with me just in case Harry wants to hex you." Ginny Said carefully

Without another word Lilly rose and went to the attic in search of her father.

She slightly tapped on the door, "Come in," She heard a soft voice say.

"Daddy, I am sorry, I did not mean to upset you. Please do not hate me!" Lilly said as she started to cry.

"Cupcake, how could you even think I hate you? I love you more then anything is this world, you are my little princess. I just thought you wanted to much more for your life?" Harry said.

"I know Dad, I have wanted to be an Auror, I wanted to follow in your foot steps, I still could be, but I want to be a good Mum, I want to raise this baby with Andrew, and eventually maybe get married, after Macafoy is defeated. Daddy, I know you are disappointed in me, and it breaks my heart, but something's are just meant to be." Lilly said.

"Wow, I guess I still see you are my brave little 11 year old, I still see you as you were when you first went to Hogwarts. I know you are of age now, but it is hard for me to let go, you are my baby, and now you are going to have a baby of your own." Harry said with a sigh.

"Daddy, please come down and talk to Andrew, please be nice, I love him." Lilly said.

"I promise," Harry said.

Harry and Lilly walked down the stairs, Harry holding on to Lilly's shoulder and they walked down the stairs, when they walked into the sitting room all the color left Andrews face.

"Mr. Potter, please let me explain, I know you think we deceived you, we did not, Lilly did get attacked, she is still my best friend, and I care for her, I will never let her or our baby get hurt..."

"Andrew, Andrew, son, please call me Harry, I know you love my Lilly, I am not mad, I just want the best for her, please promise me that you will do everything in your power to insure her and my grandson's safety." Harry said.

"I swear to you Mr... Harry, I will protect them with my life." Andrew stammered.

"Well then," Harry said extending his hand, "Welcome to the family." Harry said as she shook Andrews hand and then pulled him into a hug. "You all can come out now," Harry said as the Weasley family came barreling down the stairs.

Everyone was congratulating them, except Danny. Lilly hardly noticed him all red faced sitting in the corner.
