6 weeks
It had been 2 weeks since Lily told James she was pregnant, she was now 6 weeks pregnant.
It was 8:30 on a Friday morning, Sirius and Remus were in the kitchen with James. Lily came in dressed for work.
Lily worked for the Ministry, Sirius and James were Aurors, and Remus was a healer at St Mungos.
"Morning sweetheart," said James kissing his wife, "any morning sickness today?"
"No, none thank god" she replied, "morning, Sirius, Remus"
"Morning" said Sirius, "and may I say you look radiant today"
"Morning Lily" said Remus, "have you made your appointment yet?"
"Yes I'll see you 10am on Wednesday morning" said Lily putting on the kettle.
"Why do we have to go to the clinic again? We went a week ago" said James.
"6 weeks is important in a baby's growth, we have to monitor it very carefully" said Remus.
While Remus was explaining this to James, Lily tried to put coffee into her cup without anyone noticing.
"Oh no, you don't" said James taking the cup out of Lily's hand before she could even take a sip.
"Hey, give it back," protested Lily
"No way, you know you can't have caffeine," said James.
"Go on, please, just one little cup," pouted Lily.
"Oh, I …" started James, he could never say no to Lily.
"James" said Remus sternly
"No, sorry Lily. I'll make you some tea," said James
"I don't want tea," she grumbled
"Sweetheart, you know I can't let you have coffee" said James "Moony tell her"
"Sorry Lily" said Remus.
"Come on, one little cup won't hurt, will it?"
"No, but it won't do any good either, and one cup will lead to two, then three then…" said Remus.
"Okay, okay I get it" said Lily, then she muttered under her breath, "pregnancy sucks"
"Surely you can't mean the miracle of birth" said Sirius, "the most natural beautiful thing in the world"
"Yeah, to you people maybe, but you don't have to squeeze a person out of you" said Lily irritably
"Yeah, but you get to feel your baby growing inside of you that must be an amazing experience" said Remus.
"Oh yeah great. I can't have coffee or alcohol, I'm puking every morning and I can't even have a cigarette," ranted Lily
"You don't smoke," pointed out Sirius
"Well I'd like to have the option and I have to put up with everyone wrapping me up in cotton wool," ranted Lily.
"Feel better now," laughed James.
"Yeah a little"
"Good, now go and get you shoes on, or we'll be late for work" said James then Lily left the room.
"So when are you going to tell your parents?" Sirius asked James.
"Tonight, we're going over for a dinner party," replied James
"What about her parents? Are you going to tell them? I know they didn't come to the wedding, but their first grandchild," said Remus.
"I don't want to tell them," said Lily coming back into the room.
"Don't you think…" said Sirius
"No" interrupted Lily, "they would only try to make me go back to the muggle world, like my perfect sister"
"sweetheart it's their first gra…" said James.
"I said no," said Lily agitated.
"Okay, okay calm down, don't get worked up about it. Whatever you want is fine" said James.
"Good, now come on or we'll all be late for work"
