My Baby

By Del Dios

Author's Note - Here's number three, inspiration from pride-of-slytherin2 and my sleep-deprived brain. This chapter is set about five months after the last chapter. Also,

*gets shot in the face with surprise of reviews* Well…sweet! I really do like reading your comments, it makes me want to finish the story. Also, please forgive my spelling at the end of the last chapter, it was 2:38 p.m…

Deus Inspire Mihi…

Li Chang sat down next to Scorpius and put a letter on his breakfast plate in the Great Hall.

"Hi Scorpius! I got this letter, but it's addressed to you." He finished drinking his pumpkin juice, then picked up the letter. Li watched him, then blushed.

"I-I'm sorry, I read it, I hope you don't mind." She blurted out, smiling like a Cheshire Cat.

"Scorpius! Your gonna be a babydaddy! Why didn't you tell me?" He scowled at her, then read aloud,

"Scorpius,

I know you don't care about Lily. You made it clear to me in the cathedral. But you deserve to at least have a chance to come. Lily's first ultra-sound is this weekend, and I want you to come. If not for Lily, then for your baby. Thanks for taking care of the hospital bills too.

Albus"

Li was still beaming at him. William Shacklebolt sat down beside Scorpius.

"If I were you Scorpius, I'd go. I mean, it's your family, ya' know?" Will was one of Scorpius's best friends.

"Of course I'm going! Don't be foolish William. Li, thanks for delivering the letter. You two wanna come with me to St. Mungo's?" Li beamed and nodded furiously, but Will shook his head.

"I've got a potions exam next Monday, and some of us can't pass it with our eyes shut." He picked up his books and walked off. Li, was giggling uncontrollably but started sobering up when Will left.

"Scorpius is gonna be a daddy! How exciting! Have you thought of any names?" He sighed, folding the letter.

"No, I've been trying to avoid the topic as much as possible. Now, let's go."

"Ready Li? Here's the floo powder, I'll be through as soon as your done." Scorpius offered the jar of green powder to Li, who took a pinch, tossed it onto the dorm fire, and declared,

"Saint Mungo's!" The magical flames engulfed her, and when they receded she was gone. He took a pinch for himself, and tossed it onto the fire. It roared green once again, and a dark hand grabbed his shoulder.

"Hey Scorpius, mind if I come?" William asked. The young Malfoy grinned mockingly.

"I thought you were going to study?" Will laughed his fathers deep velvety laugh, and said,

"Yeah, what's an hour spent with my best friend when he's getting a first look at his kid?" Scorpius genuinely smiled, then stepped into the fire.

"St. Mungo's!" His vision was obscured as green flames licked his eyes, and he was soon deposited in the fireplace of the magical world's best hospital, Saint Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries. Li was sitting on a cushioned chair beside the fireplace. She got up and hugged him.

"Ooh, Scorpius! She's in the maternity ward! Let's go and-" Scorpius held up a finger.

"Will's coming, bring him with you when you come please? I gotta go." Li pouted, then pushed him towards the elevator. He pressed the button labeled, 'Maternity' and held onto the rail as it zipped upwards. It finally stopped and opened.

"Maternity ward. Please leave all chocolate and sugared-treats in the elevator…" The elevator voice announced and Scorpius walked out into the MW. He was immediately met by Albus and Hugo Weasley.

"Scorpius, I'm glad you came." Hugo mumbled, looking down shyly.

"You'd best hurry before Dad gets back or he's liable to jinx your head off. C'mon, follow me." Albus grabbed Scorpius and led him down the hall until they came to a large curtained off section. Albus lifted the curtain aside and motioned them in. With more than a little trepidation, Scorpius entered. And was immediately grabbed by a massive nurse.

"Young man we are in the middle of important prenatal care, Ms. Potter cannot see non-family members-"

"Who is it ma'am?" Lily Potter's petite voice interrupted. The woman turned around, still blocking the view.

"A handsome blonde lad, angular face, also from Ravenclaw. Do ya' know him?" The large woman described him as if he weren't right behind her.

"Scorpius? You came! Nurse he's the father, it's okay." Lily exclaimed, and the nurse turned around smiling.

"You must be the young master payin' for all this. You're a good man, unlike most of the idiotic young men who come here. I'll leave you two alone for now." The large woman somehow bent over and disappeared through the flap. Then it was just Scorpius, and Lily.

"Lily, how are you?" He asked, gazing at her bare stomach. She giggled, noticing his gaze drift to her bulge.

"Don't be modest, Scorp!" Then more seriously she added,

"We're doing just fine. Well, do you want to see?" She asked, gesturing to her tummy. He nodded, and she pointed to a bottle of gel on the medical table.

"Sorry, but you'll need to rub that on me." Scorpius looked at it, sighed and squirted some on his hands.

"So…uh, where does this go?" Scorpius asked, feeling the blood rise to his cheeks.

"Just on my stomach." She said softly, gazing at him.

"Okay…so…what have you been doing?" He asked as he rubbed the gel on her. She started describing her prenatal care, while Scorpius thought to himself,

"Wow…I almost forgot how smooth her skin is…she's not so bad…stop!" He thought at he felt her skin under his hand move. Lily looked down at her stomach with a look of wonder.

"Scorpius! Do you feel that? It's kicking!" She grabbed his hand and put it over the spot.

"Yeah, I felt it!" He exhaled, then looked at Lily. She was smiling gently at him. He shook his head, then asked,

"Hey, are you gelled up enough?" She nodded, then pointed to what looked like a clothes iron.

"You just flip that switch there, then you take this thing and move it around until you get a picture." He flipped the switch, then put the iron on her bulge. A bluish white image appeared, and constantly moving. Scorpius moved the iron-thing around, until he saw something that made him inhale deeply. Lily eeped happily, and yelled,

"Scorpius, we're having a boy!" Scorpius dropped the paddle, and kissed her bulge.

"A boy!" He whispered, then to Lily,

"My baby boy! Lily I-" He started, but her face had a strange expression. Happiness, and hope.

"Lily, we are having a baby boy!" He declared, then picked the paddle up and started moving it around again. Meanwhile, the Potters and the nurse smiled kindly at each other.

Well, that's it for this chapter. Sorry if it wasn't really what you expected, but this is definitely the hardest chapter I've had to write so far. It turned out to be five pages long in open office. More, coming soon.
