Chapter 32
There were fights happening all over the place. Fred, Roxanne and Hyo were giving them the right spots to hit. People who could help the injured were working at a makeshift hospital in the Weasey's home. People kept dying. The fighting was even, no one had a direct victory. There were just so many people who were injured, but it was better that it wasn't the dead that kept piling up. Most people were able to get away with their life. Chloe was put on bed rest because she was so stressed and they were worried about the baby.
"How are you feeling?" James asked.
"Alright," Chloe said. "I can feel the baby moving and kicking me. I'm sure he's going to be a strong baby." She smiled. "I'm sure we'll be great parents. What had you been doing?"
"I've been helping with the hospital. I do what I can, even though I can't do too much. I don't know many healing spells. I just do what I can, and its' safe," James said.
"Is it bad?" Chloe asked
"You shouldn't worry about I. All you need to worry about it is getting rest. All you need to worry about is our son."
"I know. I just want to do something to help," Chloe said.
"I know that, but you you're on bed rest. That means you have to stay here until you have the baby," James said. "I don't want you to lose the baby."
"Yeah that's true. I want to protect our child."
"Everyone's excited about the baby. I just wish my mom would be here to see the baby," James said.
"James, I know you're hurting about your mother. You don't have to be strong around me. You can tell me how you feel and no one else will see you break down,"Chloe said.
James started crying. He was sitting on the edge of the bed, and put his head into Chloe's lap. "I can't believe she's really gone. She'll never see Albus and Lily grow up. She'll never see her grandson. I miss her so much." James was crying.
Chloe stroked James' head. "Cry as much as you need to. You can be strong out there, but you need to let yourself feel your emotions."
After about a half hour, James pulled away from Chloe. "I should get back to work." James got up. "I love you. I don't think I could keep it together if not for you."
"I love you too. I'll be okay. Go back to work. There's people out there that need you more than I do right now. "
James kissed her again, before leaving.

"Lily how are you doing?" Scorpius asked.
"I-I lost my uncle and now I've lost my mom. I sick of losing people. People are dying every day, on both sides. I can't handle this. I just want to disappear for while and not deal with all of this," Lily said. "But no where is safer than here right now."
"Yeah, safely it a good thing," Scorpius said. "I'll protect you if it comes down to it."
"What about your parents?"
"I don't know. They haven't tried to contact me since this war started. I wish I knew what was happening to them. I've sent letters, but they keep come back, unsent. So they either not wanting to talk to me, or can't contact me. Either way, I don't know what's going on with them."
"That's so sad. I'm sure you'll find them sooner or later. I hope they're okay," Lily said.
"I rather have them die then have them attack me or you. I love my family, but they never seemed to really love me," Scorpius said.
"I can't even imagine what it would be like if I didn't have my family,"Lily said. "But you have me now. You won't be all alone anymore." Lily hugged Scorpius.
"You're upset over your moms death. You don't have to be strong for me," Scorpius said.
Lily started to cry. "I miss her so much." She was soon sobbing. "Why did have to die?"
"She died saving your bother. She would have done the same thing for you," Scorpius said.
"That doesn't make it any better! It doesn't matter why she died and-"
"It is important why she died. She died to save Albus. She had a noble death. Your mom died knowing she was saving her son. She died doing what she thought was right."
"I guess that makes sense. I miss her so much," Lily cried. "We won't even have a body to bury. I don't even want to know what they're doing to her body."
"Just try not to think about that," Scorpius said.
"I just, it's not just my mom. Almost everyone that went there are dead too. All those family members who lost loved ones, it's just so sad."
"They knew they could be killed when they went. It's sad fact of war, people die," Scorpius said. "I wish that wasn't the case, but it is."
"It's not fair," Lily cried.
"I know it's not, but we're safe here and we just need to wait it out until the war is over." Scorpius said.
"I don't like this. Maybe I can help the nurses take care of the injured. My brother's doing that. I should be able to help too right? I can't just sit here and no do nothing."
"I'll come with. You're right. We shouldn't just sit around doing nothing," Scorpius said.
The two went to the medical tents. "We'd like to help," Lily said.
"Good we can use as much help we can get. Lily go help Maria over there and Scorpius go help Asha over there."
The two were soon working hard with the medical unit.

"Are you going to go out and fight?" Molly asked Micheal.
"I think I should do something,"Micheal said.
"No, you don't. Stay here with me," Molly said. Molly rolled over on the bed they were using. "I don't want you to fight and die. I can't live without you. What am I supposed to do if you go out fighting and die? I-I'd kill myself, so we can still be together."
"You will no such thing. If I die, you have to live, for both of us." Micheal said.
"I wasn't going to say anything, because Chloe just said it, but I'm pregnant too. I thought we were using all the protection we could, but this still happened. I didn't want a baby, but now, now I want to be a mother. And my baby needs a father." Molly laughed a little. "I'm sure Chloe said the same thing to James. Help in anyway you can, but don't die. You just can't die."
"I understand. You should have told me sooner. That's something that you should tell someone right away," Micheal said.
"I know. I'm sorry. I just didn't want to take away from Chloe's baby news," Molly said.
"Well I'm happy that I'm going to be a father,"Micheal said with a smile. "I promise I won't die. I'll do what I can, but I won't die. I know you need me, and our baby needs me too. Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?"
"A girl," Molly said with a smile.
"I'm going to have a baby girl,"Micheal said with a smile. "We'll have to find a good name for her."
"I was thinking on Ginevra, after my aunt who died," Molly said.
"I like that name. That's it. We'll name her Ginny."
"I'm sure they'll like that," Molly said with a smile.

"So Molly's pregnant too?" Luis asked.
"It sounds like it," Ciel said.
"First Chloe's pregnant and now Molly is too. It's going to be a little chaotic, with two babies at a time like this. Molly has so much sex it makes sense, and I suppose that it make sense with Chloe because she shared bedroom with James," Luis said.
"That's true," Ciel said. He looked outside. "My brother's fighting right now. I don't have much detail I hope he's doing okay."
"I'm sure he's doing fine. He's your brother after all," Luis said with a smile. He then frowned. "fist my uncle and now my aunt. I don't want to lose anyone else. It's war and people die in wars, but I- I don't want to lose anyone else." Luis looked down.
"There's nothing wrong with wanting those close to you to stay alive," Ciel said.
"I know, but so many people are dying on both sides," Luis said. "It's so sad to think that for every person who dies there's family out there missing them."
"That's how war works,"Ciel said.
"Well, then I hate war."
"No one likes war."
"Well, it's stupid."

"Are you really going?" Rose asked.
"I have to. They need as many good wizards as they can get to fight this war. I'm going to fight," Cooper said.
"I understand. I wish you could stay here. I don't want you to die."
Cooper laughed. "I should hope you don't want me to die." He leaned in and kissed Rose. "You're not going to throw out that you're pregnant too are you?"
"Oh no. I'm not pregnant. I would tell you if I were. No. I don't want to have a baby right now. I think Molly and Chloe are too young to be mothers. At least they have boyfriends, or husband, to take care of them. There's no way they could raise them alone," Rose said.
"I agree. I think they are far too young to have a baby," Cooper said. "Molly is going to name the baby after Ginevra. I think that's cute."
"And here I thought men didn't say stuff was cute," Rose teased.
"What do you want me to say? That I think it's a good idea?" Cooper said."I don't know. I just think it's nice they named him after Ginny," Cooper said. "You can't stop me from going."
"Fine. At least be careful," Rose said.
"I'll come back alive. I promise."
"I'll blame you forever if you die in this war. I'll never forgive you."
