Jily- Preggos by AnnaT03

"What up, Evans?"

"Potter."

The two burst out laughing. It was always like this whenever James came home late from hanging with the Marauders and Lily was still awake.

James plopped himself next to Lily and kissed her on the cheek sloppily. Of course he was drunk. He was James, Lily thought.

My James.

Suddenly, she remembered.

Lily perked up in her seat and put away the Muggle book her parents had gifted her. She looked up at James excitedly, who was lying on a throw pillow, looking as if he wanted to throw up.

It was then Lily hesitated-- should she tell him? James wasn't in the right mind, was he?

"James, I've got something to tell you." Lily said. She should tell him...

But he had already drifted off to sleep.

"Evans."

"Potter."

They laughed again. It was midday. Lily was reading the Daily Prophet and James had just came out of bed, messy hair and all. It could never be tamed.

"Listen, James, I've got something to--" Lily started, but was interrupted when Sirius' face popped out of the fireplace.

"Evans! Prongs!" He yelled, and the two jumped to their feet." Dumbledore wants us at headquarters, ASAP!"

They looked at each other-- James filled with adventure, Lily filled with worry, for when would she able to tell him?

"James, I--"

But he had already Disapparated.

She was knitting the other half of the baby blue socks she needed when suddenly, James Apparted into the kitchen, immediately grabbing the jug of butterbeer. He put his lips to the rim of the jug and drank.

"Not straight from the lid, James!" She groaned before groaning again. She could feel the little boy squirming inside of her.

"Baby kicked," she muttered under her breath.

"Wha-?" James said, wiping his mouth after taking his second swig. Lily rolled her eyes. "I've been trying to tell you--"

"Waddup Prrrrrrrrrrr- ongsssss!" Sirius slurred, even though he wasn't even high on anything but Remus, who's arm was draped over his shoulder. The laughed simultaneously as Pettigrew Apparated in as well and mess up James' already messy hair.

"What is it you wanted to talk about Lily?" James asked, semi-distracted by the friends before him.

"Well, you see--"

"EVANSSSS!!" The boys yelled, before dancing around the room. Lily was losing it.

"James! I really--"

"Not now Lily! CHUG! CHUG! CHUG!" James chanted as Sirius then took the jug and started drinking.

"James!"

"CHUG CHUG CHUG--"

"James!!"

"CHUG CHUG CHUG--"

"JAMES!"

"CHUG CHUG--"

"WILL YOU SHUT UP!"

The four boys stood still and sat down on the couch in fear; when Lily was mad, she was mad. She glared at the troublemakers before her.

"I HAVE SOMETHING VERY BLOODY IMPORTANT TO TELL YOU AND YOU WON'T LISTEN!"

"Sorry Lily."

"HONESTLY, WITH ALL THE ORDER STUFF IT IS FINE. WE ARE STILL ALIVE, SO IT'S FINE BUT WITH THESE FOOLS HERE TO DISTRACT YOU--"

"Sorry Lily," they tried again, even softer than the first time.

"I AM THINKING THAT MAYBE IS SHOULD NOT TELL YOU BUT HARRY NEEDS YOU AND PLUS IT ISN'T LIKE THESE PEOPLE WILL HELP PARENT HIM--"

"Sorry Lil-- wait what?" James asked, really paying attention now.

"SERIOUSLY--NO SIRIUS NOT YOU I SWEAR TO MERLIN-- I THOUGHT I WOULD LIVE TO SEE YOU COACH HIM ON A BROOM OR SUMMAT BUT HOW WILL I SEE THAT IF I CAN'T EVEN BLOODY TELL TOU YER A FATHER, JAMES! HONESTLY I--"

"Wait what?"

"THOUGHT YOU WOULD LISTEN BUT NO, LITTLE VOLDY IS AFTER ME, GOT TO KILL HIM FIRST! BUT WHAT ABOUT THE BLOODY-"

"Lily! Repeat what you said!" James asked, looking at the boys with a pale white face.

"Got to kill him first?" Lily blinked. What the bloody hell were they asking for now?

James shook his head. "No, no! Before that!"

"Little Voldy?" These people can't stop obsessing over Voldemort, can they? "I swear to Merlin, James, I--"

"I'm a father?"

Lily blinked. Then it hit her. "Oh yeah! I'm preg--"

"LILY IS PREGGOS! LILY IS PREGGOS!" The four men--kids, sorry-- started dancing and screaming and celebrating while Lily rolled her eyes. James laughed and pull her close, kissing her forehead tenderly.

"His name's Harry, you say?" Lily smiled and nodded. James smiled and kissed her lips this time. It was long before they broke apart.

"Sirius is right--you are preggos."
