OH BABY {James Potter}

MORNING SICKNESS

CHAPTER SIX: MORNING SICKNESS 

OCTOBER 1977

Florence Bell didn't think she had ever seen something more chaotic.

Sirius was running around shouting with joy that he was going to be an uncle. Remus was shouting at James about protection and Peter sat still trying to process what James had said.

"Sirius Black why are you so happy about this" Remus started to scold his friend. "Why are you not shocked," he asked.

Florence and James both looked at each other. James could sense the tension radiating off Florence. He reached down and grabbed her hand giving it a squeeze.

"Wait a minute... you knew about this" Remus said as he pointed his finger accusingly at Sirius.

Sirius started blabbing nonsense trying to come up with an excuse as to how supposedly knew about it. Meanwhile, Peter started to ask James how it could have happened. James started to give Peter the birds and the bees talk before Florence cut them all off.

"ENOUGH... all of you" she shouted towards the four boys.

The four boys all looked up to her in surprise. They hardly knew who this girl was so they did not expect her to scream at them.

"Thank you" Florence uttered as they all stopped talking. "Now let's take turns talking, raise your hand if you want to speak," she said as if she was speaking to a group of children.

Sirius's hand whipped up into the air. James nodded at him to speak.

"Can I be the godfather?" he asked.

"No," Florence said as James threw a pillow at him.

Peter then put his hand up next. "I don't get it how did this happen," he asked looking between the two parents to be.

"Well, Wormtail sometimes when two people love each other very much they..." James was cut off by Peter.

"No... I don't mean that. I mean I'm sorry Florence but we hardly know you, how did you guys" he was cut off by Florence this time.

"It's fine Peter. We were drunk".

Remus then put his hand up last. "What are you going to do?" he asked the mood in the room becoming more serious.

James looked at Florence before he spoke. "We are going to keep it. Florence is five weeks along"

The room broke out into chaos again as all the boys came up to give both James and Florence a hug. Once the group had settled down James spoke.

"Right I am going to drop Florence back at her dorm. I'll be back soon".

Florence said her goodbyes and followed James out. He stayed true to his word and dropped her off outside the Slytherin dungeon but not before making Florence promise that she will come and have breakfast with them in the Great Hall every morning.

Florence walked into her dorm and found Amara and Henry there.

"So Flo, I have been to the library and I think I have gotten out every single book on pregnancy," Henry said pointing at the huge stack of books that were sat on her bed.

Florence smiled and thanked him. She felt incredibly lucky to have a friend like Henry. Friendship really was not about who you had known the longest. It was about who came into your life and said they are here for you and proved it. Henry had done just this.

The three began reading and writing down everything they needed to know. Once in a while, everyone would point out a fact.

"Week five the baby's neural tube forms" Amara announced.
