Week Three : Shots

Day One

"So, do I get to be Godfather?"

"My, God! Sirius. We haven't thought that far ahead!" Lily exclaimed exasperatedly.

"But-"

"God, Sirius! Give it up!" James exclaimed from where he was curled in a ball, with a book, under a blanket.

Sirius whined.

James sat up and looked at him. "I am this close to throwing you out of the house. Just so I can get some sleep." He said in a deadly calm voice, holding up his hand, with his thumb and forefinger less than a centimeter apart, which shut Sirius up, immediately. James lied back down, keeping his eyes on Sirius the whole time, before going back to his reading.

Sirius pouted, but didn't make any noise. Remus rolled his eyes at the dog animagus.

Peter was, once again, no where to be seen.

Day Two

It was noon and James found himself hunched over the toilet, vomiting for third time since he woke up at eight that morning. The first time had just been because he had gotten up and drank some water without actually eating anything. He didn't even understand that one. Lily had been home the first time, and offered to stay home from work, but, James had told her to go ahead and go to work, knowing how much she loved her job, it took several minutes of convincing, but she finally went to work. The second time he had eaten a few crackers, but then Crookshanks had decided to bring a little, 'present' into the house, through the kitty door. So, after picking up the half eaten rat, he knew it wasn't Peter, Thank God, with a towel as to not touch it, he had ended up in the bathroom a second time. The third time, this time, had been because he had drank some more water, as to not get dehydrated, then opened the fridge to try to eat something, but, apparently, something had spoiled in the fridge.

He had just left the bathroom when he heard the Floo go off. "Prongsie!" He heard Sirius call out.

"What do you want, Padfoot?" He asked, grabbing a glass of water and some saltines.

Sirius opened his mouth to speak.

"You better not ask to be god-father again." James snapped, and Sirius' mouth snapped shut. "That's what I thought." James muttered, walked over to the couch to curl up.

Day Three

Healer Greengrass gave Lily and James a small smile as she shut the door to the exam room. "So, how are we doing this week?" She asked.

"Morning sickness has set in." Lily answered.

"All day sickness." James corrected.

"That's to be expected." Healer Greengrass said, writing the information on her clipboard. "Especially as your magic has stopped supporting your pregnancy as much as it did. It will support your whole pregnancy, just very little." The healer continued. "Also, I would like you to get three shots."

"What?" James asked.

Healer Greengrass continued as if she hadn't been interrupted. "A shot to help prevent you from getting Scrofungulus, as there has been an out break. Another to help prevent you from getting Dragon Pox, as it's coming up on the Dragon Pox season. And also a Flu Shot. As it is Flu season. I would also recommend Lily to get these shots too."

"When do you want us to come in for that?" Lily asked.

"We'll do the Scrofungulus shot today. If that works for you?" Healer GReengrass asked.

"Yeah. That works." Lily answered, nodding her head.

"Then the Dragon Pox tomorrow, and the Flu shot a day after the dragon pox shot." Healer Greengrass said.

"We'll be here." Lily told her.

"Why not all together?" James suddenly asked.

"Well, we'll probably do Lily's all today, but as doing them all together could cause a miscarriage or still birth, we'll have to do yours farther apart." Healer Greengrass answered.

A few minutes later, after doing the normal follow-up routine, and gave Lily the three shots then James the first of three, Healer Greengrass was leaving the room. "Also, remember to contact me, if you have a day you can't keep anything down, bright red bleeding, or especially, cramping accompanied by bright red bleeding. And this goes for the duration of your pregnancy." The Healer said before opening the door. "If you have any questions, or worries about your pregnancy, feel free to contact me."

Day Four

Healer Greengrass looked at James, who was sitting on the exam table.

"Okay, James? You ready? Just a quick pinch then done, okay?" Healer Greengrass asked.

James nodded. "I guess."

"Try not to move to much." She told him, before he could even answer, she quickly gave him the shot, and put a square bandage his arm. "There. That wasn't to bad. Was it?" She asked with a raised eyebrow.

James shook his head. "I guess not."

"Good. Because we'll be doing it again tomorrow." Healer Greengrass stated.

James groaned.

Day Five

"How are we feeling today?" Healer Greengrass asked, looking to James, who had once again, sat himself on the exam table.

"Ready to be done with these shots." James answered.

"Luckily for you, this is the last one." Healer Greengrass told him, before carefully, giving him the shot.

Day Seven

Lily was currently sitting in an order meeting, she didn't even want to come to. She had tuned out most of the meeting, they never talk about anything important anyway, because they had these at least once a week, which she thought was a bit much. Peter was at least there, this week. She was alone as James was at home, curled up on the couch, trying not to get sick again. She was worried that they would have a miscarriage, as around 45-60 percent of male pregnancies end in miscarriage. Especially, during the first trimester. They would just have to hope to God that doesn't happen to them.
