The next morning, Lily woke up with an ill feeling in her stomach, and immediately rushed to the bathroom. The vomiting noise woke Scorpius, who sat up out of bed, staring at Lily as she made her way out, "What?" Lily snapped, not in the best of moods.

Scorpius took in a deep breath. He didn't think that Lily was just sick, but she would flip if his predication was right. He'd seen pregnant woman in his lifetime, his aunt just had a baby a few years ago, and this was exactly how she'd started her pregnancy out. Moody, morning sickness, and throwing up if she smelt the wrong thing, "Lils," he asked hesitantly, "Maybe you should skip work today, so you could go get a uhm . . . uh . . . " he couldn't bring himself to say the words Pregnancy test.

"Get a what, Scorpius?" Lily asked irritated, crossing her arms as she lost her patience with Scorpius.

There's the mood swings. Scorpius knew he'd have to say it eventually, so he thought now was as good as ever, "A pregnancy test, Lily," Scorpius stated firmly, "A pregnancy test."

Lily considered this for a moment, then burst out laughing as Scorpius stared at her, "Woo," she laughed after a minute of a fit, wiping a tear from her eyes, "That's funny, because I could've sworn you told me to go get a –"

"Pregnancy test, Lily. This isn't a joke," Scorpius said seriously.

Lily glared at him, "I'm not pregnant," she stated firmly, as if that were the end of the discussion and he needed to drop it.

"If you're not pregnant, then what's the harm in getting checked out?" Scorpius challenged, raising an eyebrow.

Lily groaned, she was definitely not pregnant. If there was some sort of baby growing inside her, wouldn't she know? And besides, maybe if she went and got a test done, a healer could tell her what was actually wrong with her. She gave a large, defeated sigh, "Fine, but you go to work."

Scorpius didn't argue with that, he didn't want to be there when she was chewing out the healer for getting the test results wrong when she got the news, "Deal."

Scorpius conned Harry into letting him off work early, so he was in a hurry to get home to Lily. He just knew in his gut that she was pregnant, and honestly, he'd be disappointed if he was wrong. He was actually ready for this, he wanted a baby. Though he was nervous, as every father-to-be is. Why shouldn't they have a baby now? They had a beautiful home, a wonderful relationship, plenty of money, so nothing was in their way. All that was missing was a ring on Lilys finger. He fiddled around with the small box in his pocket, knowing that she'd have it on her finger by the end of the night. That's how he'd gotten Harry to let him off early, by telling him that he was proposing to Lily.

Lily sat on her balcony later that night, just waiting for Scorpius to get home so that he could yell "I told you so!" in her face. She was really not looking forward to that. It was night time now, around 9:00 pm, and the sky was dark and the stars bright. That's one of the reasons Lily and Scorpius picked this house, it was so beautiful and in touch with nature. Though she was enjoying her time star-gazing, Lily had a lot running through her mind at that point. How was she going to take care of a baby? She knew that she wasn't on her own, obviously she had Scorpius, and a huge family that would stand right behind her, but how on earth was she going to do this? How was she going to tell her family? The healer said she was only 8 weeks along, so she had some time before she started showing to tell everyone. She was go nervous, and scared. There was a living thing that was growing inside of her right now. She slowly moved her hand on her stomach looked down. She then felt a tear slide down her face, as she heard the slider door open behind her, "Go ahead and say I told you so Scorpius."

"Oh love," Scorpius said as he stood behind Lily and put his arms around her neck, "Don't be sad, we should be celebrating," when Lily looked at him as if he were crazy, he moved to stand infront of her and grabbed her hands, pulling her up, "Love, what's the matter? We have a beautiful house, plenty of money, he or she will have an amazing mum and dad, she or he will be very loved by everyone, there's no problem," at this, Lilys face brightened a little. Had she just been nervous and overreacting? She had a steady job, a house, and an amazing man by her side. She smiled, now starting to look at the positive side in things, when Scorpius spoke again, "There's only one thing missing."

"What's that?" Lily asked worriedly, fearing that something was actually wrong. Little did she know what Scorpius had up his sleeve.

Scorpius looked into her eyes; he loved that woman so much. He held both her hands in his as he began to speak, struggling to keep his eyes from welling up with tears, "Lily Luna Potter, you are the love of my life. I would do anything for you, and I know you'd do anything for me," then he got down on one knee, causing Lily to laugh and cover he mouth as he fumbled for the box in his pocket, "The first time I saw you at quidditch practice in your second year, I was amazed at your beauty, and even more amazed at your attitude. You said what you wanted when you wanted, didn't need anybody elses approval, and I admired you for that. There's no one else I would rather be having a baby with," he then opened the box to show a beautiful silver ring with red flowers on it, causing tears to pour down Lilys face, "And there's no one else I'd rather spend the rest of my life with. Will you marry me?"

Lily nodded as Scorpius put the ring on, and she pulled him up into a kiss.

Two weeks later, Lily took in a deep breath as she stood outside her parents' house with Scorpius, and knocked on the door. Though everyone knew about the engagement, no one knew about Lilys' pregnancy, and even though she was only 10 weeks, most likely due to her extremely small frame, if she wore tight shirts, though it was very small, she did indeed have a perfectly round baby bump, that went out just a little bit. She'd decided today that she'd just wear a tight shirt to spare her having to say it. Scorpius laughed at her idea, but she thought it was a good one. Everyone who could be was there for a big, monthly family gathering, so Lily thought it was a perfect time to spill the beans. It was almost Lilys' worst nightmare when james opened the door, grinning.

"Hey, guys! About time!" James said as he smacked Scorpius on the shoulder. He turned to Lily and hugged her, then he looked down. His grin wiped off his face suddenly and he turned pale as he looked from Lily, to Scorpius, unsure of what to say, "Well . . uhm, I guess you're engaged and all, so congrats, I guess. . .excuse me," he quickly spat out as he ran back into the house.

"Oh no you don't!" Lily shouted as she chased him into the house, but he was too quick. Before she could get to him, he was already in the middle of the living room. All Lily could do was groan and watch as James announced her pregnancy. That was one thing about James, he could never keep his mouth shut.

"Lils is pregnant!" james spat out to all the shocked faces looking at him.

Lily groaned as she put her head in her hands, wishing she could disappear from the face of the earth at that moment, "You never knew how to keep your mouth shut, did you James?"

Though everyone was relatively shocked that Lily, one of the babies of the family, was having a baby herself, everyone was honestly happy for the couple. Though some were a little disappointed they weren't married first, no one saw a reason to create a fuss about it. It's not like she'd had a one night stand and got knocked up. She was in a committed relationship, in her own house, engaged, and she couldn't be happier.

"Lily!" Kelly called just as Lily and Scorpius were about to walk out the door.

Lily graoned as she turned around. She loved Kelly, but she honestly just wanted to get home and sleep, it'd been a long, exhausting day for the both of them. But, she put on her best smile as she turned around, "Yes, Kelly?"

Kelly beamed excitedly as she hugged Lily tightly, "I never said congrats, you two are going to make excellent parents."

"Thanks Kelly, but we'd better get going," Lily said as she hugged her friend goodbye. Scorpius opened the door and Lily stepped out. The were about fifteen feet infront of the house when something shot infront of Lily, and she was thrown backwards, hitting her head on a rock. She immediately was knocked unconscious.

Lily made her way down the stairs of her home and saw her husband making breakfast, with their newborn daughter in his arms. She yawned as she smiled at the two of them, "Good morning, my darlings," she said, sitting down at the table.

"Want to hold this little gal?" Her husband asked, and as he turned around, Lily gasped.

"Y-You're not Scorpius!" She stuttered, backing away from him, before she realized he was holding her baby in his arms, "A-And give me my daughter!"

Lorcan looked at Lily with a sly grin, "Oh, Lily, you knew I'd never give up on you."

Lily bolted towards him, in attempt to swipe her daughter out of his arms, but he moved back and she slid into the wall. She stood up again, "Give me my baby!"

"Lily, Lily," he said gently, kissing the babys' forehead, "I'd never hurt our child."

"She's not yours!" Lily hissed, but as soon as she said it, she was pinned up against the wall with lorcans free arm.

"Listen here, doll face," he said as he leaned in so close to her face she could feel his breath, "You are mine, everything that is yours is mine. You belong to me, and you always have. Always will."

He then backed away from her, and suddenly everything around her began to disappear. As the darkness started caving in on her, she tried to run to the door but it wouldn't open. She turned to find Lorcan, and her daughter, gone. She screamed for her baby, but she was nowhere, and there was nowhere to run. She began to here a voice, that sounded like it was coming from above and she thought she was going to die.

"Lily, wake up baby girl."

Lily collapsed in a ball on the floor in an attempt to ignore the booming voice and not be consumed by the darkness.

"Lils, c'mon, you gotta wake up."

Then, not even a second later, she was completely engulfed by emptiness.

Lilys' eyes shot open, and her vision was blurred. She blinked a few time, and everything slowly came back to her; the flash, being thrown back, and getting knocked out. She sat up slowly, ignoring the searing pain in her head. She was on her parents couch, Albus and Scorpius sitting next to her. Then, it hit her; "My baby?" she asked, looking pleadingly at Albus, "You're a healer, tell me if my baby is okay!"

Albus smiled as he put his hands over his sisters, "You and your babies are fine."

"Babies?" Lily echoed, clearly confused.

Scorpius, who'd been shocked himself, patted Lily on the shoulder, "That's right Lils, we are having twins."

Though Lily was clearly happy and freaked out at the same time, she had to know what happened. Were the neighbor kids just being dumb and accidently shot a spell, or had she actually been targeted? It was as if Albus could read her mind, "It was a seventeen year old boy," he then looked hesitantly to Scorpius, who sighed and nodded, "He was hired by Lorcan, to attempt to not kill, but seriously injure you."

"Why not kill?" Lily asked. If he'd wanted her so badly hurt, why not just do away with her?

Albus looked hesitantly to Scorpius, who reluctantly nodded again, "He doesn't want you dead because he wants you to suffer . . . He doesn't want your babies to be born."
