Over the next few weeks, Lilys baby bump gradually got bigger and bigger. By this time, at 18 weeks pregnant with her twins, it looked like someone had cut a basketball in half and shoved it up her shirt; she couldn't even hide it anymore. As Lily observed this in the mirror while Scorpius got dressed, she pouted, "Scorpius, I'm fat!"

Scorpius groaned secretly. Lily was having mood swings left and right. One minute she was all smiles and laughter, the next she was crying while she threw herself a pity party. He turned around, putting on the best convincing smile that he could, "You're not fat, baby girl, you're beautiful, and carrying our babies."

Lily let a smile slide on her face as Scorpius said this, "I guess you're right," she said, as she walked away from the mirror and started to get dressed herself, "So, are you ready for tonight?"

"What's tonight?" Scorpius asked casually.

Lily looked as if she'd been hit in the face, it was obvious she was holding back tears as she put her hands on her hips, "Y-You never remember anything!" she whined, then turning her back to him as tears slid down her face and she covered it with her hands, "The sex of the babies! I'm going to announce the sex of the babies!"

Scorpius wrapped his arms around lily gently, kissing her cheek, "I'm sorry, love," he said, though he wasn't even sure she'd mentioned to him she was announcing it tonight. He'd told Lily he had to work when she'd found out the day before yesterday, but she'd still refused to tell him until she told everyone else.

She shoved him off her and stormed out of the door, only to open it five seconds later, "Be at my parents house by six tonight," she snapped quickly, then slammed the door and made her way down the stairs again, only to burst through the door another ten seconds later, looking frantic, "I need to go see Albus."

Scorpius looked down at his watch, "Lily, it's only 5:30 in the morning, I think –"

"I need to go see Albus now!" she screamed, her eyes wide as she held her stomach, "Somethings not right!"

Scorpius sighed, convinced that whatever it was, she was over-reacting, "Fine, let's go I guess."

A few minutes later, Lily started pounding on Albus' door. Albus, who'd been up getting ready for work anyway, wondered who'd be doing this at only 5:30 in the morning. As he lazily opened the door, he was surprised to find Lily standing there.

He didn't even have a chance to invite her in before she stormed through the doorway, shaking and obviously frantic, "Al, somethings wrong!" she began, words spilling out of her mouth so fast Albus could barley understand her, "T-This isn't right, Al! Theres a fluttering and a pressure feeling and I've never felt this before it can't –"

Albus smiled as his sister described this feeling to him. He immediately knew exactly what this was, "Hey," he said, cutting her off as he put his hands on her shoulders and looked into her eyes, "Relax, baby sister."

"What's going on?" Lily asked, a little more calmly knowing that her brother wasn't freaking out.

"Lily, I'm glad you felt comfortable coming to me for this," He put his hand on her stomach, and felt a light kick from one of the babies, "But everything is okay. Your babies are kicking you."

"Little shits," Kelly joked, yawning as she stood in her bedroom doorway, "Haven't even came into the world and they're already kicking their mama," she then shook her head disapprovingly, then looked up at Lily and laughed.

Albus smiled back at Kelly, "Well, get ready for it, Kells. You'll be feeling it within the next four weeks."

Lily, who'd previously been holding Scorpius' hand on her stomach to feel, shot her glance up to Kelly, grinning, "You're pregnant?!"

Kelly shot a nasty glare at Albus, then a bright smile to Lily, "We wanted to wait to tell everyone so you two could have your moment of fame, I know it sounds silly now."

"Of course it sounds silly!" Lily laughed, running over to hug her friend, "How far along are you?" She asked, looking down at Kellys stomach and only noticing a slight change, which could just be mistaken for weight gain.

"Well, I'm twelve weeks, but remember there's only one baby in here," she said, and the two began to ramble about shopping for babies together and being pregnant together and so on.

Scorpius leaned in close to Albus, careful that the two women couldn't hear them, "Only two pregnant women could ramble like that this early in the morning."

Later that night, Lily sat around the table with her father, mother, James, Irene, Trixie, Albus and Kelly, ready to announce the sex of her babies, and then Kelly would announce her pregnancy. She casually looked down at her watch, which read 9:00 PM. Lily, though she tried to hide it, was beyond peeved at Scorpius. She'd specifically told him to be there by 6:00. "Everyone, I have an announcement," Lily stated as she rose from the table, refusing to wait for Scorpius any longer.

Kelly, who'd been sitting next to Lily, elbowed her in the side, "Lils, you should wait for Scorpius."

But Lily shook her head, "No, I'm done waiting for him while he goes off doing god knows what whenever he wants. I'll tell him when he decides to show up," she stated firmly, then grinned as she burst with excitement, "I get the best of both worlds! A boy and a girl!"

"Oh, really?" Scorpius asked curiously as he stepped through the door, pursing his lips and crossing his arms, "Least you could have done was waited for me."

Lily looked to Scorpius, completely ignoring the tension the two were putting off in the room, "Where the hell were you, Scorpius?"

Scorpius sighed; he knew that he couldn't really be mad at Lily, he got mad at her when she was late from work, too. Once she knew why he was late, she'd understand, "One of my partners died tonight."

Lily looked at Scorpius sympathetically, " Oh baby," she said, getting up and embracing him in a hug as a single tear slid down his face, "I'm so sorry," she then looked to everyone else apologetically, " I think we are going to head home," Scorpius opened his mouth to object halfheartedly, but Lily looked up at him, smiling, "I'm super tired anyways," so everyone said their goodbyes, and the couple made their way home. Lily led Scorpius up to bed, and assured him she'd be right back when she went to make sure all the doors were locked. As she was making her way to the last door on the last story of the house, she suddenly felt a cold hand cover her mouth and was suddenly unconscious.
