I DONT OWN. DUH! I stood, looking at myself in the mirror. The white dress looked absolutely stunning against my fair skin. Tonks came into the room. "Darling, you look fantastic. Jamie is going to wee himself when he sees you." I giggled. She then ran to my side, taking my hand. "Let's go. It's time." ************************************************************* We walked down the staircase. Slowly but surely. I kept my eyes straight ahead; I could see James. He looked stunning. For a very quick, out of the blue wedding, he sure looked spiffy. His black dress robes looked as if just bought but, I knew they were his dad's. He saw me, his mouth gaping. Sirius, who was standing next to him, looked as if he had just seen an angel. He elbowed James in the side. Tonks was still by my side. Her dress was fluid and purple; it matched her hair. We stopped at the foot of the staircase, pausing only for a breather then, made our way to where James was standing. It was awfully unexpected to see a Justice of the Peace standing behind James. I grew emotional with the thought that I was finally getting married. Tonks hugged me as she passed the hand she held to James. I took a deep breath and looked into his eyes. His eyes were smiling at me. I could see the smile visible on his lips but, his eyes were the door to his soul and, they were glowing with happiness. The minister began to speak, "We are gathered here tonight, to bring two people together in holy matrimony." His word turned into mumbles and I only heard the necessary words that I needed to reply. "Do you take this man as your husband?" I nodded and smiled, "I do." Now it was James' turn. "Do you take this woman as your wife?" He smiled back at me and said, "I do." "By the power vested in me, I now pronounce you man and wife. You may kiss the bride." With those words, James pulled me close. Close enough not to squish the baby, and kissed me fully on the lips. I saw fireworks in this kiss. *************************************************************** Tonks had made our backyard into the most elegant of reception areas I've ever seen. James took my hand and led me onto the dance floor. Our song, "From This Moment On" began playing. He twirled me around, allowing me to see all of what Tonks had prepared. It must have taken her longer than 3 hours to do. I looked up at James and smiled mischievously. "What, love?" he said. "How long did it take Tonks to do all this?" "Longer than tonight, that's for sure." I looked at him, gaping. "I mean, I would think but, it was a surprise." "So, this was planned previously? And you knew we would be man and wife tonight?" he nodded. "Then how come I had no knowledge of this?" "Simple. Tonks planned everything at her house. She is sly like that. That's mostly why they always came here for our hang outs." his eyes shifted behind me. I turned to see my parents. My mouth fell open. "Mum? Dad?" Mum ran up to me, she had on a light blue dress with a jacket. Dad had on a dress shirt, tuxedo jacket and dress pants. "Darling. How unfortunate we got here after the wedding. We would have gotten here sooner but, there was a bit of chaos in town, near where we were staying…" she stopped talking when she looked down at my growing stomach. "Lillian, is there something you need to tell us?" I looked at dad. His eyes were wide open but, they didn't look angry. "Hi daddy!" I said hugging him. "Mum, I'm pregnant." "Obviously, dear. But, when were you going to tell us?" I shrugged. "I didn't want you to get worried. There is a war going on here and I didn't want you to travel incase you got injured." "They were completely safe upon their arrival last night." James said. He placed his hands on my stomach, from behind me. I leaned back; he supported my weight. "More surprises. This is kind of getting ridiculous." I sighed. Although I liked surprises, I didn't like them coming all at once. Mum looked at me. "Lily, darling. We didn't mean any harm. We heard from your friend Nymphadora-" "Tonks." I cut her off. "Tonks owled us. It was rather out of the blue. I mean, you hadn't even written us. I would have hoped to see your handwriting but, it wasn't. Your sister told me when she was getting married. And when she got pregnant…" "Petunia got married? She's p-pregnant?" I asked, my voice was shaking. She nodded. I felt ashamed. Had I neglected to owl mum and dad enough that they favored Petunia over me? I knew it sounded selfish but, they had always cared more about me than her. "Petunia was incredibly upset that you weren't at her wedding. Only a few weeks later, she told us she was pregnant…But, we are really proud of you, Lily." Dad said. He reached over, enveloping me into a hug. James let go of my waist and stood, watching. "Thank you, Daddy." Dad pulled away, and asked, "Can we talk alone for a moment?" I looked to James. He nodded and said, "Go ahead. I'll just go see how Sirius is, after I get your mum a drink." He smiled at mum, who gave a half hearted smile back. ************************************************************* "My dear girl, Lillian. How long have you known you were pregnant?" "4 months, approximately. I found out the night of graduation." I said. "I figured something was going on. You seemed anxious. And your mother felt something was the matter but, she needn't to worry. She knew you would handle it on your own." "I'm sorry, Dad. I just didn't want you to be ashamed of me…" I looked toward the floor. Dad put his hand on my chin, lifting it to meet his eyes. "We could never be ashamed of you. I couldn't anyways…" he paused. "Your mother isn't the best when she has to swallow an idea like yours. I mean you getting married and being pregnant." I sighed. He continued. "But, it doesn't mean anything. That's how she normally is." I knew exactly what he was saying. I had known my entire life. It's just, I never got in a big predicament like this. But, in all honesty, it was a good, big predicament. Dad and I conversed a while until Jamie came to see me. "How are you doing, love?" "I'm pretty good." I walked a ways with Jamie until I stopped abruptly. The baby kicked. "What's wrong?" Jamie asked, concerned. I shook my head. "Just the baby, he's kicking." "How do you know it's a boy?" Jamie looked at me awkwardly. "Mother's instinct, I presume." I laughed. **************************************************************** Tonks walked up to us after my parents had said their goodbyes and left. She eyed me suspiciously. "Word on the street is that you know what you're having." "Yes, Tonks. I believe I know that it's a boy. Why ever do you ask?" She put her hand on her hip "Well, I can tell people don't believe you. Would you like to try a potion that will tell?" "Another school project?" I laughed. She shook her head. "Well, I learned it in that book used for Potions. It's quite interesting. It's also a shock I am reading a book." I laughed as she took my hand, leading me into the bathroom. A few moments later, after she had conjured up the potion, I walked out of the lavatory. The liquid was blue. Review Please. Im in college so I dont know how much i will be able to post for a while.
