Week Four : Broken Relationship

Day Two

Lily leaned against the car as she filled the tank with gas. They, as in, her, James, and Sirius, were going to a dentist in Surrey to have Sirius' wisdom teeth removed. It was around a two and a half hour drive, one way, but, Dan Granger was the closest dentist that knew of magic, as his wife, Jean Granger, was a muggle born. Therefore, they knew what was safe to use on those with or without magic.

She pushed herself away from the car and started to wash the windows, with the squeegee. As she was doing so, she saw inside the car, that, James kind of dozing, Sirius was poking him, from the back seat, and each time James would smack his hand away.

Rolling her eyes, she put the squeegee, and the gas pump away, before paying for the gas. She then got into the car. "Sirius. Stop it." Lily snapped, glaring at him. Sirius immediately shrunk back into his seat. "And put your seatbelt back on." She said, as she turned around and put hers on, Before starting the car, and putting it in drive. She hoped her and James' child had her eyes, just so someone else could feel the power of having a green eyed glare.

It took around thirty minutes to an hour longer than expected, to get to the dentist office, as they had to stop several times for James to either pee or vomit. The whole ride, Sirius had gone between absolutely hyper, to holding his cheek in pain, several times. Lily had put in a Def Leppard tape to listen to, much to Sirius' displeasure, as he wanted to listen to The Chronicles of Narnia.

Lily dropped the two men off at the Dentist's office, then, went to number four, privet drive. She needed to try to make amends with her sister. And, she was already in town, so why not try?

It took around fifteen minutes to arrive at the Dursley's house. Lily looked up at the house, and sighed, warily. Before unbuckling and getting out of the car. Once up on the porch, she hesitantly knocked on the door.

Lily looked up as her sister opened the door, Petunia had dark blonde hair, and blue eyes. As soon as she saw her sister, her blue eyes narrowed, and a look of disgust twisted her, admittidedly beautiful (When she was smiling, and not scowling) face. "What do you want?" Petunia sneered, she had finally had something her sister didn't, but, that only lasted a few weeks. And Petunia was, very bitter about that. Lily and her Freak Husband were bringing another Freak into the world. Even though, they obviously weren't supposed to be blessed (Or, is it cursed? It is freakish, after all. If so, Petunia would be perfectly fine with that) in this way, as it took a man getting pregnant for it to happen. At least her and Vernon didn't have any infertility issues.

"Could- Could we just, speak for a moment, Tunie?" Lily asked, uncertainly.

Petunia didn't even know why she was upset with her sister, it wasn't her fault she had wanted a child. Petunia would've done the same-

"No." Petunia answered, shortly.

"Please-" Lily started.

It could be a chance to make amends. Have her little sister back-

"No." Petunia answered, sharply, this time. Before shutting the door in her sisters face, and turning away, before freezing as her sister spoke again.

"Please, Tunie." Lily said, and oh, God, Petunia could hear the tears in her sisters voice. "I don't want to go on living my life like this! Mum and Dad wouldn't want us to live like this! With us fighting, arguing." Lily's voice cracked. "I want my sister back." Lily sobbed, quietly.

Petunia had to fight the urge to open the door and hug her sister, as she had done whenever Lily cried, as children. As she did before Lily left for that- that school. "Please, Lily. Just leave."

"Why do you h-hate me, Tunie?" Lily asked, but, she still turned away to walk back to her car, as Petunia watched from the window.

'Because, you've always been the perfect daughter. You've always been the one with the looks. You're the one with the friends. The one with the magic. The potential, the personality, the sparkle in the eye. The one with the funny, caring, handsome, rich, husband, that would do anything for you, even carry a child. The one with the really nice house. The one that I ha-' Petunias thoughts faltered, as she realized. She realized she didn't hate her sister. 'The one that hasn't done anything to me. The one that I'm- I'm jealous of. Jealous like a child would be!' Petunia realized, in horror.

Lily dried her tears on her jacket sleeve, sitting in the car in front of her sisters house for a couple minutes, before starting the car, buckling, and driving off, back to the Dentist's office.

Once she had parked the car and took the key out, she looked in the rearview mirror. Great, her face was red from crying. Just, Great. There wasn't even anything she could do about it, without going to the bathroom, and washing her face, or letting it fade on its own.

She went inside and sat beside James in the empty waiting room. He immediately noticed she had been crying, and pulled her into his side, and kissed her hair. Lily let out a dry sob.

"What the Hell did they give him?" Lily asked, once they got a giggling Sirius in the car. It had been long enough that her face had cleared up.

"Magic suppressing anesthesia." James stated.

"I didn't even know that existed. Is it safe, though?" Lily asked.

"Yeah, perfectly safe. It suppresses one's magic until the anesthesia wears off, so there won't be any... unfortunate, accidents." James told her.

"Ah."

"Is this real life?" Sirius suddenly asked, loudly from the back. Making them jump.

"You know, strangely, he asked that at our wedding too." Lily said, with a roll of her eyes, as she turned onto the Highway.

Sirius started singing 'Twinkle Twinkle little star' and sang it the whole way back.

Day Four

"...Twinkle, Twinkle," Sob "little star. How I wonder-" Sob "what you are. Like a diamond in the" Sob "sky. Twinkle, Twinkle-" James cut off with another sob beside Lily. "Little star." He let out, yet, another sob.

"I know your pain. James. I know your pain." Lily said, patting his back as one of her eyes twitched, she stared at the exam room wall. They had listened to Sirius sing that for three hours and hadn't been able to get it out of their heads. Just then, there was a knock on the door, and Healer Greengrass came into the room.

After the normal follow-up routine, Healer Greengrass brought up, Ethan Pomfrey.

"I think you may be more comfortable with him, as he, himself is a male bearer. He carried and birthed, his and his wife's children. He, however, is located in London. But, he is a specialist in male pregnancies and male bearers." Healer Greengrass told them. "You would go to London for the first two trimesters, and he would come to you for the last trimester and birth. You would, be seeing both of us." She said.

"Okay... It's-it's worth a try..." Lily told her.
