Chapter Three
Three weeks had gone by now. Remus had not said anything to Emily. Remus had really never left the house. Sirius and Emily were at James's house. Emily was with Lily, helping her fold baby clothes.
"How are you holding up?" Lily asked.
"Good," Emily said, "Sirius has been so helpful."
"So, are you and him a thing?" Lily asked, looking at Emily.
"He actually did ask me the other day," Emily said with a smile, "so we are going to go on a date tonight."
"That's good," Lily said.
"Have you spoken to Remus?" Emily asked.
"No," Lily said with a sigh, "He hasn't been around and the fireplace to there has been turned off."
"I do hope he's okay," Emily said.
They finished up putting clothes away and headed back to the front room. Sirius was helping Harry to walk. Emily gave a small laugh. She sat down and watched Sirius play with Harry.
"He needs to eat now," Lily said, picking up Harry.
Sirius waved goodbye to him and sat down by Emily. Sirius put an arm around her neck.
"Where are we going tonight?" Emily asked.
"Picnic," Sirius said, "ya, I got it all planned out."
"Sounds fun," Emily said.
"Than come on," Sirius said, "I have everything ready to go on the motorcycle."
Emily and Sirius said goodbye to them and left. Sirius took Emily to a lake. They got off the motorcycle and Sirius quickly got the picnic set up. Emily watched him set everything up with a smile on her face. She sat down next to him on the blanket he laid out. He pulled the food and drinks out of the picnic basket, which was chicken and butterbeer.
"Is that really all you packed?" Emily asked, looking at Sirius.
"Ya," Sirius said, "I'm not very good at this, am I?"
"Oh it's cute," Emily said.
They sat there and ate the chicken. They were drinking their butterbeer and watching the sunset.
"It's so beautiful," Emily said.
"Ya, it is," Sirius said, looking at Emily, who was smiling as she stared at the sunset.
They sat there for a few more minutes before packing up and leaving. Sirius parked the motorcycle outside his house and they went inside. Emily went and sat down on the couch, while Sirius went and got a movie. Sirius put in the movie and Emily cuddled up next to him. They watched the movie until they fell asleep.
The next day Sirius woke up to hear puking sounds. He got up and followed them to the bathroom, where he saw Emily leaning over the toilet. He bent down next to her and rubbed her back.
"I guess the chicken wasn't cooked good," Sirius said, "sorry."
"I'm fine," Emily said, flushing the toilet.
They got up and headed back into the front room.
"Stil," Sirius said, "if it was from the chicken, than it was may fault. We should get you checked out."
"If it was from that, than it's just food poisoning," Emily said looking at Sirius, "it will go away."
"Stil want to get you checked out," Sirius said, "maybe it wasn't cooked all the way and I have watched some health shows where people have gotten like parasites from that."
"Fine," Emily said, "you do worry too much."
Sirius just smiled and they left to a muggle hospital, since Sirius thought it might be fun to see how things went on there. They got there and checked into the emergency room. They sat there and waitted for about a half hour. Soon Emily's name was called and they headed back.
"What seems to be the problem?" the nurse asked.
"Just puking," Emily said, than looked at Sirius, "he's worried that I might of ate bad chicken and gotten a parasite."
The nurse looked at Sirius, who just smiled.
"Well," the nurse said, "I'll draw some blood to see."
The nurse pulled out a needle. Emily looked over at Sirius, who watched the nurse. The nurse drew some blood and left.
"We really had to come here," Emily said.
"Yes," Sirius said, "I just want to make sure there is nothing wrong."
The nurse came back into the room about 20 minutes later. She brought in a machine. Emily gave Sirius a dirty look.
"Can you lay down please," the nurse said.
Emily laid down and the nurse pushed her shirt up. Sirius went over and held Emily's hand.
"What are you doing?" Sirius asked.
"Ultrasound," the nurse said, putting something on Emily's stomach.
Sirius watched the screen and was shocked.
"There," the nurse said, pointing at the screen, "there's no problem at all. You're about 6 weeks pregnant. What you have is just morning sickness."
Emily looked at the screen in shock. Sirius was also shocked. The nurse wiped off Emily's stomach and took the machine out of the room. Emily sat up and looked at Sirius. The nurse came back into the room.
"You should just take it easy," the nurse said, "also make an apointment with your regular doctor."
Emily nodded her head and they left the hospital. They rode home in silence. When they got there, they sat down on the couch. Emily looked at Sirius, who looked at her.
"I hope this doesn't change anything," Emily said.
"It doesn't," Sirius said, "I was just shocked to hear that."
Emily smiled and cuddled up next to Sirius.
"Should I tell Remus?" Emily asked.
"Not right now," Sirius said, "for now it can be our secret."
