oOoOoOo

Christmas came and went. As did New Year's and James Potter was still sick with the stomach flu. Refusing to come out of his room, James couldn't seem to get over his break-up with Lucius, which only resulted in making his illness worse.

On numerous occasions his mum, Jamie, tried to get him to tell them who was the boy that broke his heart. See, James finally got the courage to tell his parents that he was dating a guy. Although they were a bit disappointed he wasn't dating a nice witch (secretly they were hoping he hooked-up with Lily), they supported his decision nonetheless.

Jamie passed by her son's door hearing him asking `why couldn't I be a girl' or `this is all that bastard's fault' or `men should be able to have babies with the one the love.' Jamie would walk away wiping tears from her eyes, not knowing how to help her son. Obviously, this was something James was going to have to work out on his own.

Every day for the last two weeks, Jamie couldn't get James to eat properly. She finally sent for Sirius, Lily, and Remus; however, their efforts were in vain. On one visit, Sirius' boyfriend had made an attempt to bring James out of his stupor to get him to eat or at least talk about his problems.

Sadly, it didn't work either but the two formal rivals did come to an understanding about Sirius, and would do their best to get along better.

oOoOoOo

One week later…

Running directly upstairs, Harold Potter, wasted no time getting into his son's room where James' friends (Remus, Sirius, Lily, and Severus) and his mum where gathered at the door. They couldn't get into the room.

Today, James refused all manner of food and had been throwing-up again. Jamie became concerned after receiving no answer to come down for an afternoon snack. Usually, he would yell back, `I'm not hungry', but she didn't get anything back from him.

Immediately, she fire called her husband. Not knowing what he would find once he busted into James' room, he steeled his nerves for anything. Harold scanned the room only to find it empty. Then he saw the bathroom door ajar.

Inside, Harold found his son face down on the floor half naked.

From the position where James was lying unconscious, the youth must have slipped coming out of the bath. Never once did they realize he had fainted.

oOoOoOo

The news was unexpected. Lucius didn't know how to handle it. Yes, he did but he couldn't hex her. He didn't want anything to happen to his heir. He should be rejoicing but he wasn't. Not when he could be happy with James. Instead, he took to throwing himself into his work or drinking, a lot.

The tug on his heart was becoming unbearable with each passing day. The torture of being from his love was too much.

Yesterday while readying himself for a board meeting with a stockholding company, Lucius collapsed. He suddenly felt weak and his legs gave out.

Coincidentally, across town a certain dark head youth fainted and was rushed to Saint Mungo's hospital.

oOoOoOo

The doctor entered a few minutes later after being summoned with a chart and folder specifically for James.

“Hello James, Mr. and Mrs. Potter,” the doctor greeted with a warm gentle smile.

“Hi, Dr. Bloom,” James replied somewhat nervously.

“Can you tell us what's wrong with our son?” Mr. Potter came straight to the point.

The kind doctor turned to the young adults - indicating to them this was their cue to leave.

“Now, James, I'm going to ask you some personal questions and I need for you to be as truthful as possible, okay? Can you do that for me?”

James nodded his head.

Once the embarrassing process was over the doctor said the one thing that James thought he would never hear.

The doctor turned to Jamie and Harold with a beaming smile. “Well, after carefully examining your son, I'm about 99.9 percent positive that James is pregnant.”
