Before Harry

Disclaimer: Meh, you know I don't own Harry Potter and if you don't then your stupid. Lol

Summary: In the books it never says Lily has another child. One before Harry. Well this isn't the books, it's my world. Learn how a teen struggles through childbirth, school and work. Raising a kid is hard work and Lily is about to find that out the hard way.

A/n: Omg! I'm so sorry for not updating! Please forgive me! This is one of the longest chapters anyway. MY beta, Laura Johnson(thanks!) is taking a little while to get it back to me so I'll put my version up but it may have mistakes! Then when she gives me the betted version I can put that up instead. Not that it will make much difference but I don't want you guys to wait any longer!

Snuffles95141: Yea I know! I'm so sorry. I don't really have any excuses other than I'm lazy but I will try to update more.

Shatterglassyay: Well thanks for your review. It was very original. I don't think that even counts as a flame. What's wrong with my story anyway? Is it the plot? Or the writing? Or the characters? Or are you one of those people who think Lily is a saint? I don't I'll get a response to this thought because you probably wont read it but that's ok.

marauderyears: Thank you.

ForPetesSake: Thanks. Your fic is awesome, and since I'm finally updating mine, you should too! Lol.

ZzSheilahzZ: Thanks.

Brilover: Thanks. That line came from a personal experience. My friend was sleeping over and it was like 12 and she still wasn't up so I blared that song up and screamed that at her and jumped on her. She wasn't very happy about that. Lol.

Laura Johnson: Thanks for being my beta:D Sorry it's like 6 months now. I feel really bad. Sorry!

DIFFEN-DOOFER: Of course I can use Nathan again. He'll be in the next chapter I think. Thanks.

Chapter 5 review:

Well that went...well. The only thing I can think of is how great it's going to be to tell James. Please note sarcasm.

Chapter 6

July first came by slowly. I had wrote Lily saying that I would meet her at some restaurant for lunch. I cant remember the name. For some unknown reason I was nervous. I was never nervous about a date before in my life, ever. Except for that time when I was 10 and I played doctor. Anyway. I wonder what Lily wanted to tell me. Maybe it was that she never wanted to see me again. But then why wouldn't she just say that in the letter? Weird. Well I'll find out soon anyway.

I decided to play it cool and dress casual. Although I didn't feel cool. I still felt nervous even as I sat in the restaurant. I was wearing a pair of faded dark jeans and a gray shirt with black sleeves. There was still 10 minutes until Lily and I were suppose to meet. I was still really nervous. It seemed to get worse rather than better. What if she didn't show up? What if she thought it was the worst night of her life? What if she just wanted to yell at me for taking advantage of her?

'Snap out of it James." I scowled to myself.

A waiter came up and I ordered a drink(a Pepsi) and took two menus for lily and I. Five minutes later Lily came. Man, did she look good. She had her hair half up in two pigtails on the side of her. She as wearing a black tank with diamonds on the top and bottom of it and dark blue jeans with an electric blue strip on the bottom of them. I don't really want to say this but I think Lily is getting fatter. Please don't shoot me, it true! She still looked good though and she had a certain glow about her to. Strange.

'Damn.' I thought. 'If it ends horrible it wont matter because she looks so good right now, it's all worth it.'

She spotted me, smiled and waved. I waved back. At least she wasn't mad. She sat down and I swear to god that I stopped breathing. There was definitely something different about her.

"How are you?" I asked.

"I'm fine. How are you doing?" She asked.

"Not to bad. So what did you need to talk to me about?" I asked, praying it wasn't about how I didn't owl her. I was going to, I swear I was I was but I just got really busy.

Lily looked nervous and a little sad. She opened her mouth and then closed it. I was curious as to why she looked so nervous. She opened her mouth to speak again just as the waiter asked what we wanted to drink. Lily ordered a chocolate milkshake just as I had and looked at the menu. I sighed inwardly, knowing that she wasn't going to tell me until after we ordered. So I picked up the other menu and looked through it. I decided on stake with mash potatoes and veggies. Lily ordered baby back ribs with fries.

"So, are you going to tell me yet, or do you want to wait a little bit longer?" I asked.

I know I sounded impatient but damn it, I was! It was killing me not knowing what she wanted to tell me. She probably knew this too, because she smiled at my tone. She has a pretty smile. Anyway completely off topic.

"Well I think that is a topic for after eat. That way if you don't take it that well I still get a meal out of it." She grinned cheekily.

She was good. The mind of a marauder. Wait until I tell the guys. Wow, she is a goddess, inside the bedroom and out. ;)

"So if your not going to tell me what were here for, let's talk about something else. How is school going?" I asked.

"Meh." She answered. What does meh mean? "It's not too bad I suppose."

"Your in your fourth year, right?" I asked.

"Well fifth year now." She corrected me.

"OWL's are going to be a pain the ass next year for you." I smiled.

She looked uncomfortable for a second before agreeing. Now I really want to know what it was. She smiled at me like she knew what I was thinking. I bet she does too. We talked about different things while we waited. The time seemed to drag on and on. Finally the food came. She ate like there was no tomorrow. It was kindly creepy actually. Anyway after we were done eating I looked at her expectably.

"Alright, I'll tell you what I came here to tell you. I suppose I've made you wait long enough." She smiled at this. "I don't know an other way to say this." She took a deep breath. "I'm pregnant."

Wow. Whatever I was expecting it wasn't this. I met her eyes, hoping she was joking, she wasn't. I felt the blood leave my face.

"Is it mine?" I asked. I wanted to make sure.

"Yea, I'm almost positive it is because around the time it was conceived you were the only person I had sex with. I'm going to get a blood test done some tests just to make sure." She said.

"I'll go with you," I automatically said. "And if it is mine, not to doubt your word or anything but I want to make sure. Anyway if it is mine I will help raise it, pay for what it needs and anything you need." I said.

"Really?" Lily seemed to be dumbfounded.

"Yea, well why wouldn't I?" I asked.

"I don't know, I guess I expected the worst." She said shyly.

I didn't get a chance to respond because the bill came. I paid for it and we left.

"Someone else didn't take the news very well, I take it." I guessed.

"My parents." She admitted. "They kind of kicked me out." She said, bowing her head.

I was shocked. No wonder this girl didn't want to tell me.

"So, where are you living now?" I asked.

"My friends, he has an apartment with some one else but they said I could live there anyway." She told me.

"He?" I asked, jealousy getting the best of me.

"Yep." She said. "Evan is my friend and Nate is his roommate."

"So, let me get this straight, you're living with two guys now?" I asked. I have a little bit of a jealousy issue so this wasn't the greatest news to hear. The girl I got pregnant is living with two guys. Not good.

"Yea, I mean, where else am I going to go? Plus Evan is one of my best friends. I trust him with all my heart." Lily said.

Well that was good but I still didn't want living there. She should live with me. Wait, that's a great idea! I amaze myself sometimes.

"Come live with me." I said simply.

She looked at me spectaclly. "Live with you? One I know almost nothing about you. You could be a criminal for all I know. Two. What if the baby isn't yours? Slim chance because I don't remember sleeping with anyone else then but I did party a lot." She sighed suddenly. "It's a habit I will have to stop."

"Okay, your right. Well you can check my record, I'm not a criminal. You can even give a key to your friends so they can checkup on you anytime. If the baby isn't mine then you can keep living with your friend. If it is, come live with me. Please, I'd like to a very large part of the baby's life. Besides then when you go back to school." I knew I had one her over with that.

"Okay. I'll call the doctor and get an appointment. Then I'll let you know when it is so you want to. If its yours, I'll come to live with you." She agreed.

"That sounds good to me. Now how are you getting home?" I asked.

"I'm going to walk." She replied. "It's only a few blocks from here."

"I'll walk you there." I offered.

She shrugged. "You can if you want to."

As we walked, we talked as well. I was beginning to know who Lily Evans really was and I was liking it. Right now it doesn't seem real. That I'm going to be a rather in a few months time. I'm sure I'll wake up at like 5 in the morning scared shitless but now I'm ok with it, I think."

"This is the place." She said shaking me out of my thoughts.

It didn't look like such a bad place. The outside was white and it was three stories. Probably three apartments too. Because it didn't look all that big.

"Thanks for understanding." She said softly and kissed my cheek and left.

I stood there smiling after her before I appariting home. I felt giddy from the kiss. Its weird because its not like I never kissed her or anything but it just felt different. Maybe it was because neither of us were drunk. I have a funny feeling that the baby is mine and that it's going to be an interesting road to parenthood, especially with Lily Evans with me.
