Lily's POV:
"Lily? What are you doing here Sweetheart? Does your father know you're out?" Nikki wonders curiously, her withered features wrinkled up in confusion as she gestures for me to sit on the cleanly made bed. Scorpius is quiet, his blue gray eyes blazing with emotion as he takes my hand. He looks amazing as his face switches between worried and excited. I take his hand and lightly compress it; he relaxes slightly at my touch.
"I may or may not be pregnant Nikki… I was hoping that you would help me without consulting my father." I smile reassuring to her, and her aged eyes brighten as she looks at my waist briefly.
"You're so young Sweetie… but yes, I'll keep your visit from your father. Is this young man the possible father?" Nikki asks professionally as she draws her wand, gesturing for me to lie down. Scorpius keeps his face on mine as he pulls a chair to my side, sitting next to me as I comply with Nikki's request.
"Yes, this strapping young man is my mate." I tease, causing Scorpius to flush slightly while Nikki nods with understanding.
"Pull your shirt up, dear, and we will see what is going on. How long ago was your last sexual activity?" Nikki questions as I pull my shirt past my flat torso.
"Yesterday… actually last night." I chuckle, Scorpius grimaces playfully at my enthusiasm.
Nikki's brow rises and she nods, pointing her wand at my torso. Her voice warm as she smiles. "Don't expect to see much, but I will be able to tell if a fertilized egg managed to attach itself in your uterus. I may even possibly be able to detect a heartbeat, depending on how escalated your pregnancy is. You're not entirely human, Lily, so what we find is something I can only speculate on." Nikki sounds intrigued, as she mutters a few incantations.
Scorpius holds my hand firmly as my stomach glows blue, a giant orb hovers above me and Nikki gasps, surprised. With kind eyes, she points out three shaped figures that press against the blue lining. "Very unprecedented… Lily, you have triplets!" Nikki smiles.
Scorpius looks at Nikki like she grew two heads, and I shiver surprised, my eyes glued to the projection. Triplets? The concept is baffling. "Why are they so noticeable?" I wonder; my voice seems distant as Scorpius returns his attention to the projection, his hand tight on mine as his face stiffens worriedly. We both know this isn't normal, despite our lack of experience.
"Like I said, Born Werewolves are unheard of, Lily. Made Werewolf females are sterile, but apparently you can reproduce. From the look of things, you're going to have a very short pregnancy…" Nikki coughs nervously, her eyes drifting from the projection to my face. "In only a few hours, you look two months. If this doesn't slow, you could possibly be a mother in as little as three months. This is amazing but terrifying." She turns away, rummaging in her cabinets for something. Scorpius is pale and distant, his eyes glued to the twitching forms in the projection.
"Scorp?" I murmur softly, and he flinches, his blue eyes dark as he looks at me.
"Three months?" He stutters, and I nod, his available hand runs through his hair nervously. "Blimey, Lils… Can we handle three? Can we even handle this with short a short time to prepare?"
"I'm sure we can, we're not alone you know." I smile bravely, the idea not as scary to me as it seems to be to him. I'm excited, my eyes drifting to the projection as it fades. "Daddy might be upset, but he wouldn't abandon me for this. Uncle George and Aunt Hermione would help as well. I'm sure my Grandparents would be excited. Astoria will be excited, though I'm sure Draco will be livid but come around." I speak certain, and Scorpius seems to lighten up slowly as he sees the truth in my words.
Nikki returns with pamphlets that explain what to expect, her eyes soft. I suspect she eavesdropped. "I want to see you twice a week, and you know both your families need to find out soon. I will write an owl to your headmistress to explain the situation, and hopefully she will allow you to remain in school. I understand you have a house in the forest?" Nikki wonders, and I nod wordlessly. She seems pleased. "Good, I suspect you might need it being you probably won't be able to stay in the dorms at Hogwarts once you deliver. I know this is scary, but you could be worse off."
I agree, pulling my shirt down and standing. Scorpius helps me steady, and I hug Nikki. Nikki hugs me back; her eyes glisten as she smiles. "You're so much like your mother, Lily."
I thank her, exiting with Scorpius. He still seems shaken, but holds my waist now. "We can use humor, can't we? Let's go visit your cousins. Teddy and Freddy always have something up their sleeves."
Lily's POV:
"Lily? Scorpius? Is everything alright?" Teddy looks concerned as he greets us, the bell ringing as we walk into Uncle George's shop. Teddy places the exploding ink pens he holds into a barrel as he wipes his hands on his jeans, his hair matching my father's as he watches us curiously. I smile at him widely; Scorpius' hold on my waist tightens nervously.
"Everything is fine, Teddy; I just wanted to see what is new in the shop. School got too dramatic for my taste today." I reassure him and he nods, his hair shifting into his mother's hot pink he favors as he smiles, relieved.
"Well, we got a new shipment of fire whiskey and butterbeer snappers… I know how much you like them. We also got Potter Ploppers, a new and best selling item." Scorpius seems intrigued, his lips twitching in an amused grin. Teddy notices Scorpius and his hold on my waist, his eyes widening surprised. "A couple now?" Teddy's brow rises, amused.
I nod happily, and Teddy smiles favorably. "Can I see what Potter Ploppers are? It sounds painful…" I trail, and he laughs, his body shaking.
"Follow me" Teddy is still laughing, turning on his heels as he parades us past barrels of love potions and chatterboxes. "Dad though it was hilarious, Lily, I figured you would too. James loved his samples; Albus is never around to test…" Teddy trails as he pauses in front of an unmarked box. Kneeling, he pops it open and large scar shaped gummies wrapped in plastic emerge. He lifts one, handing it to me. "It gives you the voice of your favorite Potter, try it. It won't hurt you."
Considering every male in my family made the magazine "Witch Weekly" at least three times a year, it wasn't surprising that there was a market for this. Taking it curiously, Scorpius and Teddy, watch me encouragingly. Opening the wrapper, I pop the gummy into my mouth and chew. I consider my father, my role as Daddy's Girl in my head. As I speak my mother's voice emerges, surprising them but I smile happily. Apparently now that I know I'm a mother to be, my inner conscience started bonding with my mum's memories.
Teddy swallows, unsure, and Scorpius nods his head, understanding now. "Can I get more of these for the castle?" I wonder, and he nods, scraping out a handful that I pocket. "Thank you, Teddy. If I told you a secret, can you keep it until everyone else finds out?"
"Sure, sis…" Teddy shrugs, and I smile, my events about today spilling out like water. Scorpius fidgets but remains at my side as Teddy gets clued in. Teddy stumbles, surprised at the news, his eyes flicker at my torso as he sighs. "There's going to be hell, but I won't abandon you, the babies or Scorpius, Lily. I'll help."
Leaving Scorpius' side, I hug Teddy firmly; his voice deepens as he chuckles. "Are you even ready to handle so much responsibility?" Teddy whispers, stroking my copper curls slowly as I hum, content.
"I will be. I manage myself fairly well, and if they're anything like me or Scorpius I will be proud. The ministry won't be able to pair me and Scorpius up with a random groom or bride next year if we have our babies before then." I whisper back enthusiastically as I think about Teddy and Victoire's hasty marriage a few years ago. Freddy was married now as well, his bride a wealthy pure blood named Joanna that he loathed but the ministry matched him to. Lucky for James and my Uncle Charlie, they were living out of country and couldn't be matched in Romania. "I should have them by December."
"Christmas presents for the family," Scorpius pipes up humorously and we all laugh, the shop echoing our voices. The clock outside tolls and Teddy smiles pleasantly. "Time for you both to return to school, be careful the both of you out there."
I kiss his cheek goodbye, and Scorpius shakes his hand firmly before grasping my waist again. We exit outside, prepared to share our news.
