lilies *James Potter*

Chapter 28

Liliena was very nervous, to say the least. She has not reached out to James once through his very few text messages that she's read at least a thousand times each.

Baby Daddy: You didn't have to leave like that, you know.

Baby Daddy: Harry was hoping you'd gone with us to get the massive sundae.

Baby Daddy: You probably would've helped us all finish it, between two grown men and a child, it wasn't even half done without the help of a pregnant-eating-for-4-woman.

Baby Daddy: I got the papers signed and ready

Baby Daddy: Are you really going to continue to ignore me? My messages and calls?

Baby Daddy: And I'm the immature one in this relationship my arse.

Baby Daddy: I'm sorry. Please...

Baby Daddy: I can't go back in time but I'd like to move past this for our sake and the babies.

Baby Daddy: I know you're reading my messages, Ana.

Baby Daddy: I'm sorry, even though you were the one to start this whole thing.

Baby Daddy: Come on Ana, answer me damnit!

Baby Daddy: I'm still coming to pick you up for the appointment in the morning.

Baby Daddy: I know what your car looks like, if it's not there I'm heading straight to the office.

Baby Daddy: I'm not letting you run away anymore. You can't outrun me, I'm not allowing it.

Baby Daddy: I'm here and waiting. Either you miss the appointment or face me.

Baby Daddy: Your choice but I'm not leaving until I see you.

"You're going to be late." Regulus points out bored from the couch where he plucked on a few cords of his guitar and hummed to work on the album that he has put his heart and soul into for the last couple of months.

"And you have plenty of songs to pick for your album and yet, you haven't finished it."

Regulus glares at her before returning to his work. "You still should sing him that song. I think he'll like it, and even more, you can have Pandora release it in dedication to him and written by you. You know the song is right up her alley that will boast her and your fans, and Potter's bookworms."

Liliena rolls her eyes at him. "What are you working on this time?"

"If We Have Each Other," Regulsu titles that were on the notebook he had set in front of him.

Liliena raises her eyebrows at him waiting. She knew she didn't have to say anything for him to sing to her. But this time Regulus holds back. "I'll sing if you go out and face Potter. I'd like you not to miss your appointment. And under dire circumstances, you need to go."

Liliena blows out air that pushes a stray curl of her hair in her face up slightly. "Fine." She groans.

It was all that Regulus needed for him to start playing his guitar rather than plucking strings and humming. From her understatement, he had most of the music already played out and possibly just singing and playing would help make the song smooth out its musical notes.

"She was 19 with a baby on the way. On the East-side of the city, she was working every day. Cleaning dishes in the evening, she could barely stay awake. She was clinging to the feeling that her luck was gonna change. And, 'cross town she would take the bus at night. To a one-bedroom apartment, and when she'd turn on the light. She would sit down at the table, tell herself that it's alright. She was waiting on the day she hoped her baby would arrive. She'd never be alone. Have someone to hold. And when nights were cold, she'd say: The world's not perfect, but it's not that bad. If we got each other, and that's all we have. I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand, you should know I'll be there for you. When the world's not perfect, when the world's not kind, if we have each other, then we'll both be fine. I will be your mother, and I'll hold your hand, you should know I'll be there for you."
