Chapter 58: 16th of February

December 25, 1979

" Okay Sirius what's this big surprise you have to tell us?" asked Remus sipping his hot chocolate.

Sirius smiled and sat down on the armrest of Evelyn's chair, " Well it shouldn't come as a shock, seeing as I knocked Ev up- OW!" he shouted rubbing his arm," What was that for?"

Evelyn scoffed, " You don't have to say that!" she hissed.

Sirius waved a hand at her, " Of course I do!"

James nodded in understanding, " I've been trying to get Lily to consider naming our kid ' Proof I shagged Evans' but apparently that's not appropriate, or whatever,"

" Can we please stop talking about knocking people up?" asked Peter, " I have to say it's a bad omen,"

Remus nodded his head in agreement, " I have to agree with Pete on this one,"

Lily rubbed her temple before taking a sip of tea, " James, if you keep bringing that up I'm afraid I'm going to be a widow," she said with a pointed look in his direction.

The messy-haired man raised his hands in surrender a soft smile playing on his lips as his hazel eyes went to the almost invisible baby bump, " Fine, fine, all I'm saying is unisex names are all the rage, but okay, please continue Sirius,"

The silver-eyed man smiled, " As I was saying, this shouldn't come as a surprise but," he grabbed Evelyn's hand and held it up, " We're getting married,"

James's hand flew to Lily's eyes, " Oi what the hell do you think you're doing mate! Trying to show me up with that rock?!" he shouted followed by a laugh from Sirius.

The redhead slapped his hand away, " Good God James I don't care if- Bloody hell that's big!" she gasped leaning over and grabbing the girl's hand.

Peter and Remus's eyes grew comically, " I could pay my rent with that," murmured Peter to Remus who nodded with an amused smile.

Sirius let out another bark of a laugh, " I say I'm getting married but you lot want to talk about the ring? We need new friends, Ev,"

Evelyn blushed and pulled her hand away from Lily, " It makes me wonder what they would say if they saw the necklace you got me," she whispered to Sirius before taking a sip of hot chocolate.

Lily raised an eyebrow, overhearing the couple," What necklace?"

Evelyn chuckled slightly and reached into her sweater before pulling out the necklace Sirius had given her two years prior.

" Bloody hell I married the wrong marauder,"

" Oi!"

Remus put on his coat, getting ready to leave when someone stopped him, " What is it Evelyn?" he asked kindly, his green eyes studying the giddy look on her face and the way she shifted her weight from side to side as if she were nervous.

She smiled, " I have a Christmas present for you," she hummed.

The sandy-haired man raised an eyebrow, " I thought we all agreed on no presents," he began, a little put out due to the fact that he couldn't afford to get his friends any present.

She shrugged, " Oh well," she said before handing him a small blue box, " Open it,"

The werewolf sent her a thankful smile before undoing the bow and taking the top off, " What is it? A potion?" he inquired looking up.

The brunette bit her lip before nodding, " Yeah, wolfsbane,"

Remus felt his heart skip a beat, " W-What?" he breathed taking the vial out with trembling hands, " Wolfsbane?"
