Chapter 3
Lily lied awake staring at the shadows on her ceiling, she could hear the distant snores of her sister and her fathers foot steps coming up the stairs.
Lily didn't know what to do, this was the most confused she had ever been in her life, she couldn't just kill the baby but she couldn't go to school with a huge pregnant belly ether. Lily just lay there thinking of different ways she could still get an education but have a baby as well but every thing that she thought of just made no sense and was going to be a lot of trouble, the last thing that Lily thought of before she fell into an uneasy sleep was how she was going to tell her parents and how her father would react.
"W-w-w-what the hell" Lily woke with a start and stared out into the inky blackness that was her room. She turned over and looked at her alarm clock it was 3.00 in the morning and there were hushed voices in the kitchen.
Lily sighed and pulled her self out of bed through her dressing gown on and put her wand in her pocket. Lily snuck out of her room and slipped down the stairs careful not step on the bottom stair because it squeaked, she pulled her wand out and walked silently down the hall way, she saw the kitchen light on, Lily made her way to the kitchen careful not to make any sound, she stopped just out of the light and listened to the now hushed voices.
"What the hell do you mean"?
"I didn't expect it Vernon if that's what you mean" Petunia's shrill voice sounded like a siren in the deafening silence.
"Quiet Petunia or you'll wake your parents, Now you listen to me I don't wont your family to know yet ok, just wait till I'm there with you" Vernon Dursley's voice sounded calm and rational compared to Petunia's.
Vernon Dursley was the new man in Lily's sister's life and Lily's new brother in law, much to her disgust. Vernon had no neck and wasn't a small man but wasn't large man ether, he had the starting of a moustache and from what Lily new he was the captain of the men's rugby team.
Lily listen to her sisters conversation with interest, she new her sister was the outcast of the family and looked nothing like the rest of them but from the sound of the conversation it sounded very serious and dangerous, Lily wondered weather it was something to do with school.
"Vernon I think it might be a boy"
Lily nearly nocked over the umbrella stand that she was leaning against, Lily stared at the doorway in shock, Her sister pregnant, same as her. Lily new her parents were going to critersize her sister but she would get away with it but Lily didn't know what they would do if they new that there perfect daughter was pregnant as well.
Lily was so still now she thought that if Vernon and Petunia came out they would mistake her for another umbrella stand.
Lily just sat there untill she saw the sun start tocome through the windows and across the floor. Lily jumped up, pulled her dressing gown tighter round her and made her way to the kitchen, as Lily passed a mirror in the hall way she put on her innocent face and checked it in the mirror she then walked in to the kitchen.
"Vernon! Did you get here during the night?" Lily asked with a forced smile and her famous innocent look.
"Err yes I did actually I just got in, um I came to visit Petunia, Yes that's right I came to visit Petunia" Vernon Dursley looked sideways at his fiancé and put that same forced smile on that Lily new so well.
The truth be told Lily disliked Vernon as much as he disliked her, Petunia had tried to make peace between them on several occasions but on both occasions Lily was held back by James and Vernon by his rugby team mates as they screamed abuse at each other and tried to throw a couple of punches, in the end Lily tried to curse Vernon but James got in the way and Lily would never have cursed him, the whole Vernon and Lily fights started when Lily told Vernon that she was a witch and attended a very prestigious school for witches and wizards, and from that moment on Vernon wouldn't even have a conversation with Lily that didn't evolve how abnormal she was.
"Well that's great I'll just whip up some thing for breakfast for the happy couple" Lily smiled again and winked at her sister, Petunia new exactly what this meant, she fell of the chair backwards and gasped in horror, Vernon stared at Petunia with concern and went to help her up.
"Sooo Pet how far along are you?" Lily smiled wickedly and looked up at Vernon.
Vernon stared at Lily with a mixture of hatred and fear.
"H-h-h-how do you know" Petunia stammered trying to get off the floor
"Well you guys weren't exactly quiet down here, and I herd most of it"
"You aren't going to tell anyone are you" Vernon looked Lily in the eyes and she saw a look of pleading.
"Corse not, well not just yet anyway"
"Oh Lily you can't" Petunia through her self on the floor at Lily's feet and grabbed onto her ankles "Mummy and Daddy would be so disappointed in me" Lily couldn't help it, she had to say something, she couldn't just let her sister beat herself up over this she had to say something.
"Well not as much as me" Petunia looked at Lily in confusion and then it dawned on her she fell back onto the floor and stared at Lily in shock.
"Y-y-y-you as well" Lily just nodded and waited for the snide remark of Vernon but it didn't come. Lily looked up and new that Vernon was thinking of how much trouble he could get her into if he told her parents and her school but then thought of his fiancé and his unborn son and kept quiet.
Lily looked back down at Petunia and saw her eyes glow with happiness, Lily stood up and left her brother in law and sister to take in what she had just said but also Lily had to think what was she going to do now her evil brother in law new her dirty secret and Lily didn't know how long it would be before he accidentally let slip to her parents, Lily new she was safe until Petunia told her parents but after that Lily was as good as dead.
Once Lily was back in her room she fell onto her bed and lay there watching the dust float past in the sunlight.
There was only one thing Lily thought she could do and it involved a lot of lying and hurting the people she loved.
But you could never do that, your father would be crushedIt's the only way
Not if they already know
Lily lay there thinking for a while it was only when she heard the footsteps of her parents that it dawned on her.
You will have to tell them before Vernon and Petunia do It's the only way!Lily waited till her parents were past her room before she got up and went down stairs, she had to break the news in front of Petunia and Vernon so they couldn't put it back in her face.
Lily walked silently down the stairs checked her appearance in the mirror and proceeded into the kitchen to tell her parents.
"Lily darling we didn't expect to see you up for another hour or two" Lily's mother greeted Lily as soon as she came through the door "I'll just put a pot of tea on for everybody ok" Lily's mother was the kindest person she new and the most giving. Lily was glad that they were able to have a child after several years of trying but it separated Lily and Petunia in ways that there parents could never understand.
Petunia was the first child to Harry and Rose Evans but she is not there biological daughter.
Harry and Rose Evans were in a terrible car accident when they were first married and due to the accident Rose had sever scar tissue on the fallopian tubes and when the doctors told them they also said that it would be near impossible for them to conceive a child, after several years of trying Rose and Harry had given up and they adopted Petunia when she was a new born. After a year of having Petunia, Rose and Harry were ready to adopt there second child but in the middle of the year Rose fell pregnant much to the doctors and Harry's surprise and nine months later Rose gave birth to a beautiful baby girl and named her Lily. It was clear to Lily on her fourth birthday that she was special and that her and her sister were different but she never new how different they truly were.
Once Lily's mother had finished making tea and breakfast for every one Lily thought that now was the time to tell every one about the baby.
Lily stood up and cleared her throat; every one turned and looked up at her.
"Every one I have some news for you and it might not be that exciting or good, but I feel that everyone here should know" Lily paused readying her self for the gasps of horror from her parents and glairs from Vernon.
"Lily darling there is no need to explain anything we already know" Lily turned and stared at her mother in shock.
"We know about both of you" It was Petunia's turn to look shocked but Petunia fell off her chair instead.
"H-h-h-h-how" Lily stammered
"Do you two think that we are stupid" Lily's mother hissed "Honestly, We have known you two all your life and do you really think a mother can't tell when some one is pregnant, we were just waiting till you to told us yourselves" Lily looked over at her father but couldn't meet his eyes so Lily looked at herfeet instead.
"Well" Petunia said to try and break the awkward silence "Mine is a boy" she said with a glance at Lily "And me and Vernon have decided to call him Dudley" Petunia glanced round the room at every body and saw the look of confusion on her fathers face, the look of delight on her mothers face and the look of disgust on Lily's face.
"Well Lily have you gone for a gender test yet" Petunia said with excitement, Lily looked at ever body and said clearly and calmly.
"I haven't decided what I'm going to do yet" Petunia and Rose looked horrified at Lily.
"Y-y-you can't Kill it" Rose stammered "You know how hard me and your father tired to get pregnant and hear you are telling us that you might not keep it"
"Well I have a lot more options to consider than you to did and I'm a lot younger" Lily looked into he mothers eyes and saw a fire that she had never seen before and Lily new at once that this wasn't going to be pretty.
"YOU ONLY HAVE ONE OPTION TO CONSIDER AND THAT IS TO KEEP THAT BABY ALIVE AND IF YOU DON'T I WILL NEVER SEND YOU BACK TO THAT SCHOOL" Lily had never herd her mother yell before, And she sure wasn't going to let her tellme how to live my life.
"I love you very much both of you, BUT DON'T YOU EVERY TELL ME HOW TO LIVE MY LIFE MUM"
"WHILE YOU LIVE UNDER THIS ROOF YOU WILL ABIDE BY MY RULES AND IF YOU DON'T LIKE IT THEN GET OUT" both women were standing now and looking as red in the face as each other.
"FINE IF YOU WONT LET ME MAKE MY OWN DECITIONS THEN I'M GONE" and with that Lily stormed out of the kitchen leaving her mother red faced, her sister and brother in-law looking stunned and her father who was speechless.
Lily stormed up to her room through all her belongings into her trunk and a couple of other bags, Lily changed out of her pyjamas and sent her owl to her best friend Christy Flemming with a letter asking weather she could crash withher until she got her own place. Once Lily had got a reply she grabbed her things and levitated them out of her room, down the stairs and into the hall way.
Lily walked past the kitchen and saw every one still siting there with shocked looks on their faces, Lily ignored them and walked straight past and out on to the street, Lily through out her wand hand and waited for the night bus.
It wasn't until she saw the great purple three-story bus that she noticed her father standing next to her.
"Take this" he handed Lily a handful ofpound notes, a peace of paper with numbers on it and a key, Lily looked down at the paper and the key with a confused expression on her face.
"It's a Gringotts volt number and the key to it and some pound notes to get you started, I was going to give it to you when you left school, it was to buy a house but I know that you need it more now" Lily looked up at her father and hugged him
"Now if you every need money or help you come straight to me and nobody else OK"
"Yes dad" Lily gave her dad one last hug and got onto the bus and waved to him until he was out of sight. Lily always new her and her father were alike but she never thought that there would be a day when she would have to leave him.

"So James you're telling us that we have to protect Lily at any cost but not let her know we are protecting her" Sirius gave James a confused look.
"Sirius, we have to make sure that nobody hurts her or that she doesn't do anything that might hurt her or the baby, so if that means we have to take turns to keep watch over her 24/7 then so be it" James said this with a note of finality in his voice.
James looked around at his group of friends and wait for there response, Sirius still looked confused but that was normal for him, Peter looked as if this was the most important job he had ever had and Remus still looked livid but he nodded in agreement.
"So Prongs when do we start this venture of yours" James looked a little confused at Sirius's words but then it dawned on him.
"We can't protect her while she's not at school" James hit his head in frustration. "Well I suppose her parents will be able to look after her while she's not at school and while she's pregnant"
"Um James there might be a slight problem with that" James turned around and stared at Sirius "Well it's just that Christy sent me an owl this morning saying that Lily had a fight with her parents and that she was staying with her until she got her own place and by the sound of the it it was an absolute stunner" James looked as if he was going to blow.
How would any one protect her if she was going to be by her self?
What would Greg do if he found out that it was mine and not his?
What would he do to Lily? What would he do when he found out that she's not a Virgin?
James stop it! She's a big girl and can look after her self.
"PRONGS, PRONGS, hey buddy we thought you were in another country" Sirius was glad his friend was concerned about Lily but he was afraid that his love for Lily would take him away from his friends and that he would leave Sirius with no family again.
"There is only one thing we have to do" Everybody looked up at James with interest "We have to make sure that Lily and Greg break up" Sirius, Remus and Peter stared up at James as if he had rocks in his head.
"What has breaking up with Greg got to do with protecting Lily" Remus asked James.
"Well by getting those two to break up we will be protecting Lily in the long run," James said as if this was obvious.
"What the hell do you mean" Sirius said as if this was the most logical question he had ever asked in his life "She loves him and he loves her, and I'm sure that him and her have done the naughty already, so that would be an excuse for the baby, and I certainly don't see where there is a problem with Greg being a dad and who cares if you aren't a dad at seventeen I mean who would want that any way" James saw the logic in Sirius's words but he couldn't help but feel jealous that he would never get to be with Lily during the hard times or when she told her parents or when the baby took it's first steps. Secretly James wanted to be with Lily forever he wonted to be in Greg's place and he wished he had never stuffed up what he and Lily had by asking her to do what she did at the Astronomy Tower.
"Sirius you don't under stand, Greg wont do the naughty until he is married and Lily wont want to marry anybody while she is so young, it's just the way she has always been"
"James I do think that she will think of things a little differently when she now has two to think about"
James hated it when Sirius made sense and was right, but James still could remember how hard it was in his childhood with Greg around. And between being in and out of Azkaban Greg's other favourite hobby apart from trying to rob Gringotts and other assorted wizard banks and shops was bashing James.
"We just have to do it OK, trust me I no what will happen if she stays with him, and let me tell you I would rather her to never see me again then for her to get married to him, Just trust me Padfoot I know what I'm doing" Sirius gave James one last glance and then nodded in agreement, James looked at the other two and they nodded as well.
¤ ¤ ¤ ¤
"Lil's are you sure you wont to move out" "Because let me tell you it's hard work and with the two of you it's going to be harder, and I'm sure Greg would understand and he would want to be part of your and it's life" Christy looked at her friend in the fading kitchen light and couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
"Chris you don't under stand, me and Greg haven't You know"
"Oh My God Really, who is the dad then" Christy's facelit up with excitement and eagerness, Christy leaned over the table to get a better look at Lily.
"I'm not telling you" Lily looked into her friends face and saw the eagerness and excitement but she just couldn't bear to tell her.
Christy was a slim girl with porcelain like features with the most angelic like face, but her personality could not have been any more different, Christy had five facial piercing and had died her hair black after comments of her being cute, Christy also moved out of home when she was Sixteen and has made it on her own ever since.
Lily and Christy met in first year when Lily had been the first person to suffer from the practical jokes of the Marauder's and Christy had stepped in and helped Lily and they had been best friends ever since.
Christy gave a sly grin
"It's James isn't it" Lily gasped in horror at Christy's words
"How did you know"?
"Well I was one of the few who new how much you loved James Potter, and I would have done him any day"
"CHRISTY"
"What, well you can't talk now can you"
"That's not the point" Lily laughed at her friend's words and blushed at the same time, but it was true she still did love James now more then ever before.
"Well come on then we have to find you a place to live before people start to think your pregnant" Lily laughed again, Christy always made her laugh at times when she needed it most.
"Don't worry I'll look after you" Christy said as she left the kitchen and walked up stairs to get Lily's room ready.
Lily sat in the small and crowded kitchen wondering what was going to happen to her, she was alone and pregnant, could her life get any worse.
