Title: Facts about Life
Fandom: Harry Potter
Pairing: James/Sirius
Word Count: 100
Written for: ...something. Unfortunately, my computer had crashed between writing and posting, and the group has been deleted, so I can't find the original prompt/challenge.
"There's a reason I haven't been looking for a job, James. I'm pregnant."
Stunned silence followed, finally broken by James sputtering uncontrollably, “Wh-wha-ho-why-what?”
Lily was slightly calmer. “There are differences between the Muggle and Magical worlds—and I know I sometimes come across them even now—but Sirius, there are certain facts, facts about life, which you should know. Girls get pregnant. Boys don’t.”
“Who-when-where-why-how-WHAT?” James, still.
Sirius maintained a straight face for another few seconds before bursting out laughing. “Just wanted to mess with you.” He shook his head, muttering derisively, “Pregnant!”
James’ sigh of relief was very audible.
