Seven days. It's been seven days since Morticia Amelia De Martel left. James was miserable for making this happen. He hasn't left his room since the night they went back from visiting Esmeralda Acker. His friends tried to convince him to get out of the room and as expected, they failed to convince him.

"James." the redhead entered the room with a tray of lunch in her hands. She frowned when she saw James just laying down on his bed. She felt sorry for Amelia and James because part of what's happened was her fault. "Hey. Here's lunch. Haven and Sirius are out of town because they went to visit Haven's brother. They asked me to bring you food. There's also a photo there that I'd like for you to see." Lily said, placing the tray of food on the table.

James gave her a look."Look, Lils, I'm really not in the mood to talk to anyo—"

"Just check the photo." Lily sighed. James gave her a look her, sitting up from the bed before grabbing the photo that was on the tray. The bespectacled man looked rather confused. "It's an ultrasound. It's what muggles use to check if the baby's healthy."

"This is the baby?" James gapped, staring at the ultrasound picture. "He or she is so tiny. The baby is so tiny."

Lily sighed, sitting at the side of the bed. "Look, I'm mostly the reason why Mia left. I'm very sorry about that." Lily said, sincerely. "So, I'm going to give you an out with this baby because I'm keeping him. I'm giving you an out, James."

Before James could utter anything else, Lily left, leaving the ultrasound photo in James' hand.

It was another sick morning for Amelia. She was throwing up again but in the kitchen sink. She was cooking breakfast when something was coming up her throat. Amelia rushed to the sink and threw up again.

Esmeralda sighed, turning off the stove before walking up the girl. She caressed her back to soothed her. After that, Amelia washed her face before drinking water.

"You should sit down, I'll finish cooking." Esmeralda said, before walking up to the stove to continue cooking. "Where's Regulus?"

"He's showering, I think." Mia answered as she sat down. "I think I'm sick. I've been throwing up."

"It's morning sickness, Amelia. It's pretty ouch normal since you're about a month pregnant." Esmeralda shook her head. "How exactly are you planning on raising your child?"

Amelia was flabbergasted. "I'm sorry, did you just say morning sickness?" she gapped with her eyes widened. "And pregnant? Did you just say I'm pregnant?"

"Well, yes. I assumed you knew since you were throwing up for seven days straight." Esmeralda said. "How could you not know that you were pregnant?"

"I don't know. Oh, wait. It's probably because I haven't been pregnant before!" Amelia exclaimed. "How? Shit. How am I pregnant? How did this even happened?"

"You have sex." Esmeralda said, bluntly because placing the food she cooked on the place. Amelia frowned at her. "How's the father? Is it Regulus? Is that why you left James? Because you wanted to be with Regulus Black?"

"What? No!" Amelia exclaimed. "Regulus and I did not have sex. I didn't leave James for him." the brunette clarified. "I just wanted some space. That's all."

"So, James is the father." Esmeralda said.

"Father?" Regulus asked with his forehead creasing. "What do you mean James is the father?"
