A Secret Inside
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"She'll be fine." Lily barely heard the nurse assure the boy, It sounded so far away to her. "And the baby's ok, too. I doubt being a father will be no trouble, that is, if you stop getting into it." Nurse told Sirius. With that sentence, even though weak, Lily shot up out of bed. "Careful, dear. Don't want to hurt yourself. Best you stay in bed awhile." The nurse smiled. "I'll go make you some medicine. And you sir, make sure she stays in bed."
Sirius still had a confused look on his face, yet he nodded anyway. "Lily," He started after the nurse had left them alone, well, there was an unconscious boy laying in the bed next door, but he couldn't hear anything. "Is there more than one way to make a baby? Because if there is, I don't know it." He said a grin growing on his face. "It would make since though. I mean, when my aunt was pregnant with Apollo, she did practically everything you're doing." Groaning, Lily took a pillow off of her lap and buried her head into it. "Smothering yourself can't be good for the baby." He said.
"Well, wouldn't that be obvious?" She asked, putting the pillow behind her to prop her up and face Sirius.
"I should hope so." He said. "So, how many people know?" Sirius asked.
Lily looked at him. "Just you and nurse." She said. 'I can't believe this! Why did Nurse have to say anything about it! Now he'll probably go around telling the whole school. And I don't want James to know just yet!'
"And you."
"Of course!" Lily snapped. She was getting a little tired of all the questions being asked, even the ones from herself.
Sirius sat for a while with Lily in silence, until he finally came up with another question. "So, who's the father?"
At that same moment Leanne and James came in the room, with Gina following behind. "We came as soon as we heard. You ok, Lils?" James asked, sitting on the side of the bed that Sirius wasn't already on.
Lily, while looking at Sirius, slowly tilted her head at James. "James!" He exclaimed, loudly.
"What?" James asked.
Lily looked at Sirius worriedly. "Um ... weren't you and Gina going to go on a date? Out in the quidditch field?" He asked, covering up his mistake. Lily's look changed to relief and Sirius smiled at her. He knew that she didn't want James to know just yet, with Gina and all. He understood.
"Yeah, but we heard something happened to Lily. They said they saw you carrying her to the hospital wing, so we came up here to see her." He stated.
"We wanted to see if she was all right. After all, she is our friend." Gina gave a sweet smile. 'Since when are we friends?' Lily wondered, but gave her usual fake friendly smile back.
Leanne stood at the food of the bed. "So when you get out of here?" She smiled. Sometimes the nurse could be very hard on letting you out of the hospital wing, and sometimes she would let you go in a heart beat.
Lily laughed. "I think I'm stuck for life."
James stood up from where he sat. "Well, we best be going now. Just came by to see if you were well."
Rolling her eyes, Lily asked, "How many times do I have to tell you I'm fine?"
"As many as it takes for me to be satisfied." He replied, opening the door for Gina, who quickly stepped out. "Bye, guys." He said to Leanne and Sirius. He turned to Lily and winked. "Bye, doll." He said before shutting the door.
"I hate him." She smiled, her face blushing. Then she looked at Sirius and Leanne, who were both still there. 'Well, I told Sirius, why not tell my best friend?' She wondered. 'Well, I didn't really tell Sirius, the nurse did...' She thought. But still, if there was ever any trouble, there would be two people she could turn too that could help out. "Leanne, I've got something to tell you." She started.
Sirius put on a fake pout. "You mean I'm not going to be the only one who knows?" He asked.
Lily shook her head. "Sorry." She smiled. "But only us three will know." She said.
"And nurse." Sirius added.
"And nurse."
"Know what?" Leanne was lost on whatever subject they were talking about and the way the gibberish was going, she wasn't sure she wanted to know.
"I'm pregnant." Lily told her. Sirius nodded. "And James is the father. That's why I've been acting so weird."
Leanne took a moment to let the new information sink into her head. "You told Sirius, before me?" She asked.
"Actually, the nurse did. Otherwise, he probably wouldn't have known either."
"Hey!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Well, Lily. I'm hurt that you wouldn't tell me sooner. But I guess it is kind of hard. I understand." Leanne told her.
She knew Leanne wouldn't tell, and hopefully Sirius wouldn't, but she didn't know. After all, he is James' best friend. And a marauder.
