chapter nine.
❛ 𝐇𝐎𝐖 𝐀𝐁𝐒𝐎𝐋𝐔𝐓𝐋𝐄𝐘 𝐂𝐋𝐈𝐂𝐇𝐄 ❜

Wisteria Gale stood in the kitchen of James and Sirius' flat,

By herself.

It seemed as though everyone had disappeared and left her to boil water. They would come in and out of the kitchen to check on her or get other food for the dinner table,

"Guys! The─ the water is boiled! Can I leave now?"

Sirius yelled back telling her to come to the table then Lily yelled after reminding to turn of the stove.

Dinner was nice until they went on towards talking about more serious matters such as The Order.

Wisteria and Lily sat back, getting into their own conversations about the latest magazine covers and then Lily pulled the thing out of practically no where.

Showing the latest fashion style to the Slytherin, though something else had caught the girl's eye.

For the page Lily had quickly crossed over had a penned circle around an item, a baby crib no less.

Wisteria stopped breathing practically, "Lily, a word please?" Steria got up and went to James' and Lily's room closing  it once Lily was with her.

"Lily! Lily! Lily Evans! Are you Pregnant?!"

Lily gave her an incredulous look before giving her a small smile, "oh it's so nice to have someone know! I don't know how to tell James!"

Their whisper screams came to a sudden halt when they heard Regulus and Sirius coming down the hall.

Lily and gave her a wide smile as she grabbed her hand and lead her out the room, "hello boys! have you picked a film?"

The boys stopped in their tracks as they saw the two girls giggling to themselves, "uh huh, what's got you lot all giggly? James won't like this." Regulus gave Lily a pointed look to which she just shook her head and they both looked back to Sirius who had asked the question,

"Don't get your trousers in a twist, only lady things!" With that the two giggled again and lead the boys to the family room.

The television was turned off by Sirius, "Alright─ this has gone on long enough, Reg I love you mate, but if you give my that 'look' one more time I'm going to curse you."

Regulus gaped at his brother, "Sirius what are you─"

"Nope. Now."

Regulus squeezed his eyes shut and rolled his head back, "Bloody hell, I'm going to murder you after this."

Wisteria was so lost she was looking between the brothers as they spoke, then looked to James and Lily who scrambled to get to James' video recorder.

"Wisteria-" Regulus started only to be interrupted by James and Lily, "wait! Wait, wait, okay now." James held out the recorder to the couple as Wisteria looked confused out of her wits.

Regulus laughed, "Steria, I wanted this to be more special and just- better but I can't think of anyone else I would want around us. Love, I promised a long time ago, that I would never leave your side, I intend to keep my promise. Life has taken so, so much from us. Our life practically, I want to be selfish for once and take something. Wisteria Gale─"

He had to pause and look down to wipe his eyes, Lily was practically jumping in place, James was just trying to hold the camera straight, Sirius was smiling while he put his arm to rest on Lily's shoulder, and lastly Wisteria has tears springing out her eyes as she shook her head and covered her mouth.

"Wisteria Gale," Regulus Black stood up to her and she put her hand on his cheek as he kelt down, taking out a small wooden box and opening it to reveal a thin silver ring, "Will you marry me?"

Wisteria cried a small laugh as she fiercely shook her head and he stood, enveloping her in a kiss while he held her and spun her around.

Wisteria nodded, "yes, yes, a million times yes!"

Wisteria was put down and met with hugs from the two other boys and Lily, though she stopped Lily before she could let go, whispered, "Lily, hun, you should tell him." Lily let go of her friend, "after we leave, it should be a special moment between you─"

Lily squeezed her eyes shut before Wisteria got the chance to finish her statement,
Walking over to her boyfriend,

"James, Love, Darling, Sweethea-"

James gave her a worrisome look, "Lily, what's happened? Are you alright?"

Lily still had her eyes trained on the flooring before she looked up towards him,

"We are having a baby─"

corny.
something that is cliché,
or profoundly awkward
but somewhat authentic or,
at the same time, genuine yet,
dumb in a sense.
