I Dont Own, Like usual. :( I hope you're enjoying my story.
"What in the bloody hell is going on?" I heard James ask.
I came out a moment later, "Nothing. Just feeling under the weather, I guess. It came on unexpectedly."
"Oh, well I don't want you to get sick, for Merlin's sake." James said, gripping my waist tight.
"Darling, I will be fine. I feel fine. Honest." I said, but James wasn't buying it. My voice had cracked. I had an idea of what this 'illness' could be. I was late. And it had been a few weeks since James and I had shagged.
"Okay." James said, leery of my voice. He escorted me up to my chamber, telling me of a party being thrown for our engagement the next night.
******************************************************************
I was breathing heavy, pushing with all my energy. Tonks was the my left, James was to the right. Both had beads of sweat at the crown of their heads. I grunted, pushing once more. Then, it went silent.
A moment later, I heard a baby's cry. James kissed my head saying, "You did it, love."
The doctor raised his arms to reveal the little bundle of joy. It was swaddled in a blue blanket. "A boy." I heard myself say.
My eyes shot opened. I looked around the room, my roommates weren't in their beds. I had overslept, once again. I jumped out of bed, running to my armoire, taking out my uniform. I put it on quickly and ran out of the door.
I made it to Ancient Runes about 10 minutes late. Professor Babbling was writing on the black board when I walked in. All of my classmates stared at me as I made my way to my desk. This would be one of the last times I would sit here.
My appearance late started a ruckus. Professor Babbling turned around and saw me. "Ms. Evans. Better late then never. And on one of the last days." She shook her head.
"I'm sorry, Professor. Overslept." I said, blushing. I looked around and saw Tonks staring at me.
Class proceeded as usual. We were translating an ancient Greek saying. It was rather tedious. Tonks kept walking by and giving me notes. 'Are you alright?' one said. Another, 'You look peaky.'
I looked over to her and shrugged. 'We'll talk later' she mouthed to me. I felt someone staring at me. I looked around. I saw Severus staring at me once again. I turned to him. "I suppose you have something to say? You've been watching me."
"Id rather think that doing your own work would suffice, but, you're helping Nymphadora over there too." He snapped.
"I am NOT helping her. She's simply asking how I am, thank you very much." I snapped back. I wasn't going to tolerate a person with his mind. He was simply cruel and I wasn't going to ruin my whole day with his nonsense.
"Oh, by the looks of it, she was getting answers from you. This is an individual study, remember?"
I rolled my eyes. "Who made you the professor?"
"You know how I am."
"Oh, yea. How can I forget. You don't like it when your best friend gets a boyfriend, and you end up blowing her off." I said.
"At least I know how Potter is. You wont let it seep through your obliviously thick head."
"Ouch, Sev. That one hurt." I was laying it all out on the line. "I think I might go cry to Jamie." I said, putting my left hand firmly out so Severus could see the ring. He saw it. His face fell.
"Oh, so you're marrying him? Brilliant. Have fun with that slit git." Severus said. I was going to retaliate before he turned around, back to his work. But, before I could, my stomach had the same feeling it did last night.
Severus saw my face flush. "Lil?" he said. Only to have me throw up the muffin I had for breakfast.
***************************************************************
A part of everyone in that class was in complete disgust, until they realized who it was I had thrown up on. Then I got rewarded and thanked after the class was over. I hadn't apologized to Severus. He didn't deserve it. He once made my life hell, no he knew how it felt.
I met up with Tonks after the drama had died down. I didn't mean to vomit on him, it just happened. Although most of the others begged to differ.
"Lily, what's going on?" Tonks eyebrows furrowed. She looked completely worried. Her hair was turning white.
"What do you mean?" I asked. I was acting skeptical, she wasn't buying it.
"You just threw up all over Snivellus. And you aren't bloody sick. You were fine yesterday when we were chatting…" she stopped, having a look of understanding.
"I got sick last night too. When James had just proposed to me…" I winced. I had forgotten I hadn't told her yet.
"YOU GOT ENGAGED LAST NIGHT?!?!?!" she yelled. I nodded. "Oh, Merlin! Congrats darling!" she hugged me.
I pulled back. "Tonks, I have a confession." I sighed. "I think I know why I'm sick lately."
Her eyebrow raised. Then it dawned on her. "Lily? You aren't…No you couldn't be."
"I think I am." I said.
*****************************************************
After she freaked out quietly, which was hard for Tonks, she took my hand and dragged me to her chamber. She tore open her Potions book.
"Tonks, this isn't the time to be doing your homework, I'm in crisis mode." I said, blandly.
"I've read in my Potions textbook that there is a potion to test for pregnancy. I didn't think I would have to actually practice potions outside of class… But, this is a matter of helping you. So it's completely worth it."
"Thanks. Do you want help?" I asked.
She shook her head. "I want to do this on my own. I'm receiving high marks in Potions. So, you can trust me."
**************************************
Tonks had created the potion, and read the instructions for after it was made. "You have to drink the potion and whatever color your urine is, when you pee, depends on whether you're pregnant or not."
I was a bit worried. But, I knew it was only because of the possible baby. I drank it. "How long am I supposed to wait?"
"It makes you have to pee. You'll be going…" I didn't hear the end, I was already running to the lavatory.
Tonks was right behind me. I knew she was becoming impatient when I came out and she stood tapping her toe.
"So?" she asked impatiently.
"What were the colors and their meanings?" I asked. I had completely blanked when she told me, too worried about other things.
"Well, if the urine changed a different color, that's a start. What color was it?"
"Blue." I said firmly. It was the bluest blue I had ever seen.
Tonks jaw dropped. "Well, it says here," putting her finger where she was reading, "that if the color is either pink or blue, then that means… you're pregnant."
I had a good mind set considering I had figured I was before I took the test. But, knowing I was in actuality, it was too much to handle. My eyes filled with tears and I didn't stop them from falling.
Tonks enveloped me into a tight hug. "Everything will be okay, sweetie. I promise you."
I was indeed, pregnant. With James' child. Now, how was I supposed to tell him, let alone my parents?
Haha, loser Snape. But, sad Lily. She will make it through it. She's strong. Please Review. I like reviews. If i dont get 3 reviews, i wont post the next chapter :) oh i know you hate me for that. lol. thanks for reading.
