A/N I Own Nothing
P.S. The days go by the U.S calendar, Day One - Sunday, Day Two - Monday, Day Three - Tuesday, Day Four - Wednesday, Day Five - Thursday, Day Six - Friday, Day Seven - Saturday.
P.S.S. Some facts may not be completely accurate, for two reasons. One - I don't have any medical training. Two - I, personally think, that of male pregnancy was real it would work differently than normal pregnancy.

Week Two : Testing
Day Two
Lily was suddenly awoken by a loud hissing, as a dog jumped on the bed and flattened their cat, Crookshanks. She sat up quickly, holding the blankets close to cover herself.
"Sirius! Get the hell off the cat! And the bed!" She whisper shouted, as James was still sleeping beside her. Somehow.
The animagus gave her a wounded look, but jumped off the bed anyways. It didn't have anything to do with avoiding her wrath. No. Not at all.
"Now, if you would kindly leave. So I can get up." Lily told him. Another wounded look later, and the animagus was leaving the room. "Oh, and shut the door on the way out!"
Sirius changed back into his human form, grumbling as he left the room, shutting the door behind him.
"Thank you!" Lily yelled after him. She got of bed, flinching at the feeling of the cold floor under her feet, went over to her dresser. Once she had dressed in skinny jeans and a green t-shirt, she went over to the bed and scooped up the fat, orange cat.
Stepping into their cluttered living room, she set the cat back down on a blanket that was on the couch. Lily didn't mind the clutter, it wasn't as if they hadn't cleaned in months. It was more of a lived in feel.
Walking into the kitchen, she saw Sirius sitting at the table eating a bowl of cereal. "Hey Sirius." She said as she plugged the toaster in.
She got a glare from Sirius as an answer.
"What's got you in a mood this morning?" She asked, as she put four pieces of bread in the toaster.
He glared again.
"Look," She said, sitting at the table with him. "Is this because I booted you out of our room earlier?"
No answer.
"I'm sorry I booted you out, I couldn't get out of bed when you were in there. As I wasn't dressed." She explained.
Sirius' face immediately brightened. A grin grew on his face, "Was James finally getting some from you again?" he asked.
It was Lily's turn to glare this time.

Day Four
James did NOT like having his blood drawn. Nor did he like having to pee in a cup, but even that was better than now, as he had a needle stuck in his arm pulling blood from his body, slowly sucking his life force away. Okay, MAYBE he was being a LITTLE dramatic. But that didn't change the fact that he hated this. Did he mention the fact that he had a slight fear of needles AND blood? He couldn't remember when his fear of blood started, but he knew the exact moment his fear of needles started. It was in his first year transfiguration class, when all the transfigured needles suddenly attacked him.
Finally, after what seemed like years, but was actually seconds, Healer Greengrass pulled the needle out of his arm and taped a cotton ball where the needle had been.
"That wasn't so bad, was it? Healer Greengrass asked. James gave her an unimpressed look. "Well, you'll have to get used to it. Especially since this is just to see you're pregnant. If it's positive, it'll be the first of many, many, many, many blood tests." She added.
"How many?" He asked.
"It depends." Healer Greengrass answered. "We should have the results in a few days." She told them.

Day Six
The results were positive. They were sitting in the exam room for what seemed like the thousandth time, but Lily couldn't be happier.
"You may start experiencing fatigue, if you haven't already, because, as a bearer, your magic instinctively speeds up your pregnancy so that around a week, it'll be more like you've been pregnant for three, three and a half, four weeks. As around in that time is when the embryo implants. It will slow back down to normal once the embryo has implanted. You're technically two weeks along right now." Healer Greengrass explained. "In a week or two you'll most likely develop other symptoms of pregnancy, such as nausea."

Day Seven
James and Lily were currently in an Order meeting, everyone was confused as to why James had resigned from his job. James mentally groaned, as he folded his arms on the table and rested the head on his arms. When they had said that James had resigned, and couldn't do missions for the order anymore, Molly had gone on an at least thirty minute rant, about how he was the man of the family, he should be the one making a living, not Lily, and there's no reason for him not to work or go on missions for the order.
He was honestly exhausted from both the pregnancy, and the fact that his magic was supporting the pregnancy at the moment and would continue to for at least the next week or two. He just wanted to go home and curl up on either the couch or the bed.
Remus had been looking at him suspiciously for at least an hour now. James knew Remus could sense a difference in his scent.
"James?" Remus whispered from beside him.
"What?" James whispered back, without lifting his head.
"Are you okay?" Remus asked.
"Yes, why?" James replied.
"You look exhausted." Remus stated, still whispering.
James let out a small huff.
"Why do you smell different?" Remus asked.
James lifted his head and looked Remus in the eye. "Maybe we'll tell you in a bit. But not here." he whispered. The only other people that heard all of this was Sirius and Lily. Peter wasn't at this Order meeting.
Later That Night
"James is... Pregnant." Lily told Sirius, Remus, and Peter.
"What?" Peter asked.
"He's a bearer? You're a bearer?" Sirius asked.
"Yes." James and Lily said in unison.
"Everything suddenly makes so much sense!" Remus exclaimed.
The three vowed not to tell anyone without their permission, they wouldn't even be able to tell anyone with a truth serum. Peter was the only one reluctant to say the vow.
