Chapter 6 review:
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.
Chapter 7:
Sigh He was so sweet, and cute, and didn't even look at my boobs all night. I think he would make a great father. Sorry, I sounded a little lovesick there, but it's all true. Anyway, I might have lied to James just a little bit. You see, I had no intention what-so-ever of making an appointment with the doctor for the baby. With everything going on, well, I just sort of forgot. I made a mental note to call as soon as I got upstairs.
My plans were completely ruined when I opened the door. The scent of alcohol, cigarettes, and various illegal drugs met my nose. And I couldn't use any of it! Plus they were having a party and I can't go all out like I usually do, damnit, being pregnant sucks ass. To top it all off I had to pee really badly. I was going to go in the restaurant but there really wasn't any time for a pee break..
"Hey Lily, want some?" Demetre' asked, holding out a joint to me.
"Don't I ever." I mumbled but I don't think anyone heard it.
"Don't you dare" Nate yelled. "And Demetre, get away from her with that thing! Don't you realize that anything can go wrong with a pregnancy? Especially when she's only 15! She doesn't need any of that in her system!"
Oh my God. He didn't just say that in front of everyone! I know that he was just trying to look out for me but couldn't he have done that without telling everyone I was pregnant? Oh great, here he comes now.
"So Lily, how was lunch?" He asked.
"Good, except I really have to pee." I told him with a smile.
Evan had apparently heard that because he turned around and yelled, "Hey guys!" Everyone turned and looked at him. "Make a path, Lily has to pee!"
Everyone laughed but they did make a path so I could go to the bathroom. My friends maybe be loud and embarrassing but they did get that job done.
Why were we having a party at 2:30 in the afternoon? The hell if I know. We just party whenever we feel like it. Unless of course when your frigging pregnant, then you can't party at all! I can't even have enough coffee to make me feel better.
Anyway, I managed to get to the bathroom and finally pee. I decided then to get the phone and take a nice, long, hot bath with lots of bubbles. So I went out to start my search. Finding the phone with around 50 drunk people in a room is like finding a needle in a haystack. I managed to get it in 15 minutes, which is good, even for me. On the way back I grabbed Leo because he looked the least drunk.
"Hey Lily, where are we going?" Leo asked.
"The bathroom." I said simply, pushing my way through the crowd again. I grabbed the phone book on the table.
"Ummm, Lily, your beautiful and I love you but I don't love you like that. I'm not sure if you've noticed over the years but I'm kind of gay." Leo said uncomfortably.
I laughed "Kind of gay? More like completely gay."
"Then why are we going to the bathroom together?"
"Because I need to talk to someone relevantly sober. I had lunch with James today." I said the last part quietly.
"Oh sweetie, what happened?" Leo asked, putting his arm around me.
"ell wait a minute while I run the bath and get in it, ok?"
"Ok just come get me when you're done." Leo agreed.
"Leo, sweetie. That wouldn't be a smart thing to do. I'll yell at you instead, okay?"
About ten minutes later while I was sitting in a warm bath full of bubbles and Leo sat on the toilet seat, I explained my discussion with James at the restaurant.
"So, he asked you to move in with him?" Leo recapped.
"Mmmhmm, and he was just so sweet about it I couldn't say no." I sighed.
"Well of course you'd say yes! Which brings me to my next topic. When are you going to meet your sweet, yummy Quidditch player again?" (In my defense I never used the term "yummy" to describe James, I don't know where he got that from.)
"Well I don't know. That would be up to him really. But he'll most likely pick me up to go to the appointment that I have to make." I said.
"Appointment? But I thought you said he was the only person you slept with during that time." Leo said.
"He was but I want to be positive. Besides I think now is about the time for a check up anyway." I said. "Now will you look up a doctors number please?"
"What doctor?" Leo asked, flipping through the phone book.
"I don't know, a good one?" I said.
Leo laughed at me. Why do all my friends laugh at me? I'd like to see them pregnant. Well for most of them that's not possible but still. I think Leo sensed my glare because he stopped laughing immediately.
"I'm sorry." He said. "Look, this looks like a good one."
The ad said:
Are you pregnant but don't know by whom?
Want
to find a good doctor?
Need someone to explain this to you?
Call
the Baby Hotline for an appointment today at
555-2652.
That seemed perfect so I called the number and made an appointment for Monday. She explained to me that she was an obstetrician/gynecologist. I was totally clueless until she explained that meant she was a female doctor who treated pregnant women. She could have said that before she used big words that I couldn't understand.
"What about Lamaze class?" Leo asked.
"La- what?" I asked.
"Lamaze class is where pregnant woman go to practice for when the baby comes." Leo explained.
"Practice? How the hell do you practice having a baby?" I'm so confused.
Leo laughed at me again. "It's where you practice breathing, and how to sit and things like that." He explained again.
"Why the hell do I have to practice breathing? I highly doubt I'll be thinking about breathing when I'm having a baby!" I said.
"Well I'd advise you to do it because it apparently helps a lot." Leo said.
"Yea, but how much does it coast?" I asked. I have no money at all and Leo knows it.
"I have no clue. You might want to find out for yourself because it'll probably be pretty good to know. I don't think you need to worry about for a while yet though."
"Oh well, then I won't worry about it. I'd just like to get through this appointment with James. Speaking of which, you guys aren't going to pound him, are you?" I asked worriedly, "After all, he was so nice to me and everything."
"No, probably not. But we'll see when we meet him." Leo said.
Well that was comforting. Leo is usually the most logical. So the other guys may pound him just out of principle. Oh crap, that means I have to tell them that James is the father. That will go over well. I can just see it now. He's how old! Meh, I'll tell them tomorrow when they are sober. I'll tell them after they have hangover potion too because I know they'd get violet then.
Hopefully they like him, for his sake. My friends are very protective of me. It's probably because of all the scumbags I've dated before. I remember the first time a guy hit me. It was conveniently by the first boyfriend I ever had. His name was Tom. From the first time the boys met him, they didn't like him. They usually have good judgement.
We had been going out for a month when he hit me. The boys saw the bruise the next day and although I tried to lie about it, they knew. They could always tell when I'm lying. I'm not sure why, but I just can't lie to them, or Lexine for that matter. When I say the boys I usually include her, too. She's actually the worst of them. The boys usually have to hold her back from killing them, and I'm not joking about that. I can lie to anyone else, just not them.
Anyway when Tom hit me the boys apparently went to visit him. They had him in the hospital for a week. Well, it wasn't really a week. He only had a broken noise, a busted lip, and a bruise rib, bruised, not broken. Hell, both his eyes turned black. I was surprised he could still see. He never touched me again. In fact he never spoke to me again. I saw him in the grocery store once and I swear he ran the other way. I personally don't blame him.
"Shouldn't you call what's-his-face and tell him about the appointment?" Leo asked.
"His name is James and I don't even know if he has a phone. I have to owl him. I'll do it later." I replied.
"Lily." Leo said in a warning tine.
"What?" I said innocently.
"You have to tell him! You can't conveniently forget to tell him so if he's not the father you don't have to deal with him." Leo said.
How did he know what I was thinking? I mean, I'd never do that coughcough
"I'll owl him as soon as I get out of the bathroom." I said. He looked at me disbelieving. "I swear to God I will."
"Well you better. He has to know. I'll make sure you do." He said.
A banging at the door made Leo turn around as I made a face at him while he wasn't looking because I am so mature.
"Lily, get out of there! I have to pee like a racehorse!" Nate yells.
Or at least I think its Nate. Anyone else would pee out the window.
Damn I wish I was joking about that.
"Ok, ok. Hold your horses. I'll be out in a second." I said.
"Well I'll leave it to you now." Leo said and left.
I got up and got dressed. Then I looked into the full length mirror and started to cry. I look so fat! How could James ever want me? I mean I'm only three and a half month pregnant so I know its not because of the baby. I'm just naturally fat. Then as time goes on I'm going to get fatter, and fatter, and fatter. James is not going to stay with me, I know he's not. I mean, why would he?
"Lily, are you alright?" Someone called, probably Leo.
I ignored him and sat on the toilet and cried. I don't even know why I'm crying anymore but I am. Leo opened the door and I covered my face with my hands. I don't want him to see me. I don't know why, I'm sure he's seen me cry before, but this time it was different. Why? My inner voice asked, They're just tears! It just is, alright? Don't argue with a pregnant woman. That thought made me cry harder.
"Lily, what's wrong?" Leo asked.
By this time Nate had come inside and was also kneeling beside me.
"I'm so fat!" I whaled.
"Your not fat, Lily, but your going to be in a few months so brace yourself for that." Nate said smiling.
How could he laugh at me right now? He's gay. Well actually he might be but I mean stupid.
"Yes, but I don't want to be. Why would James ever want me anyway? I look hideous." I cried.
"Now, look at me Lily." Leo started. "You're not hideous, your beautiful and pregnant. James won't care what you look like because you're pregnant, Lily. You're having his baby! Nothing could please him more. Don't worry about it!" Leo said, hugging me.
I put me head on his shoulder. "Really?"
"Yes, now let's leave so Nate can pee." Leo said.
"Sorry Nate." I said. "You can pee now."
Then as I was walking out of the bathroom I see both of them checking each other out. When we get further a way from the bathroom I decide to tease Leo about it.
"Ooohhh, what was that about?" I asked him.
"Nothing." Leo said blushing.
"Does someone have a little crush?" I tease.
Wow, I have weird mood swings. First I'm crying and then I'm teasing Leo. Being pregnant sucks. With all these damned hormones I'm surprised people can put up with me!
"No." Leo said, blushing. "Besides who would love a werewolf?" Leo asked bitterly.
"I would." I say quietly. "And you know Nate won't care so shut up and ask him out."
"I'll think about it." He says.
I threw his own look back in his face.
