*Lucy's POV*

Waddling down the hallway to the kitchen again, Sirius followed me.

"Are you okay?"

"I'm hungry."

"Soup?"

"No."

"Sandwich?"

"No."

"Steak?"

"No."

"Chicken?"

"No."

"A salad?"

"Am I that fat?" I asked.

"No! It's just, never mind. Uhh, a cookie?"

"Probably?"

"It's getting late and I haven't slept much, is it fine if I go sleep?"

"Fine," I said, "But you better be asleep."

"Of course."

Padfoot walked away and I heard him flop on the bed— a rather fun habit actually.

I finally got a bag of chips, and walked into the bedroom again.

"Finally got something?" I heard Sirius' groggy voice call out.

"Ye—"

I looked down. Had I just peed myself?

"You okay?" I heard him sit up.

"Yeah, I just think I peed myself." I said sheepishly.

"You need help with that?"

"I need help getting my wand."

He turned on the lights. "Lucy. I don't think that's..."

"Do you mean it's my....."

"It's clear."

"We're going to have a baby."

Ten minutes later, we were at St. Mungos, in a tiny room waiting for everyone else.

"This is happening." Sirius said.

"Like right now." I said, ready to about die.

"I thought Prongslet was gonna be born first."

"Apparently not."

We heard a commotion outside and saw that they were fighting with a healer, to be let into the room.

Flustered, the healer entered and asked if it were fine if they entered.

"Yeah," I said, "They're family."

He nodded his head and let them in.

"LUMOS! PADFOOT! WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT IT WOULD BE YOU TWO!" James bellowed, more than ready for his niece to be born.

"Gee, thanks mate." Sirius told him flatly.

"What he means is that we're proud of you two coming this far," Lily said, giving James a look, "Besides, we were all there when you got married."

"Cheered you on," James said slowly moving away from Lily.

"It should be you surprised about them," Peter said.
