Chapter 1-Revealing

"Miss Evans," the nurse called from the counter. Lily approached with a nervous look on her face.

"Here are the results. Congratulations," she said smiling.

Lily quickly opened the envelope already knowing what would it say, but seeing it made her believe it. She had been so nervous over the past days, but now it was official. She was pregnant for God's sake. James and she hadn't planned on having a baby, but they had discussed the idea before, and it wasn't as if they had disagreed. James loved kids as much as she did. She couldn't wait to tell James about it, this was life changing but exciting. Lily wasn't sure how James was going to deal with the news. He was in Spain right now on a mission. He would be thrilled as she was, she though after a moment. It was just perfect. He was going to go crazy, but happy crazy. He wouldn't get mad or cancel the wedding. She was sure he was going to take the news in a good way. It wasn't as if a baby couldn't fit in their lives right now.

They had been living together for quite some time, and had been engaged since graduating from Hogwarts. Their wedding was to taking place in December. The only thing that bothered her was the fact that James and she were aurors. They had become targets of the dark forces, and it was risky having a baby in times like these. But her baby was going to be protected, and she would never let anything bad happen to him or her.

Lily was too excited and happy to get upset. James and her could discuss this later. A baby was now growing inside of her. Someone who belonged to her and James; the fruit of their love for each other. She was tempted to floo to Danielle's and tell her, but she wanted James to be the first one to know. Danielle was her best friend from school and they were very close, but still James had to know first. So she decided to go shopping. She was feeling in such a good mood. She hadn't been this happy since she had graduated from Hogwarts.

She came back home, and decided to order take out. She didn't feel like cooking just for her. Lily was in the mood for pizza so she ordered it with extra cheese. It would take thirty minutes for the pizza to arrive, so she took out some ice cream and a spoon. She sat to watch a movie. Twenty minutes later there was a loud knock on the door, and she got up and opened.

"Oh wait here, let me get the money," she said and went to the kitchen. She couldn't find her purse, but after scanning the kitchen twice she spotted it above the refrigerator.

"Silly me," she mused and went back to the door, but froze dead in tracks.

The delivery boy was lying dead in her entrance, but that wasn't it. Bellatrix Black was standing just next to him smirking.

"Bellatrix?" she asked confused and started feeling sick. It slowly started to sink in. She had just killed an innocent person, and by the smirk on her face she was planning on doing something similar to her.

"Glad to see you remember me. Long time no see," she said and chills began to crawl up Lily's spine.

She needed her wand, but she couldn't remember where she had placed it. She started to scan the place discretely while trying to appear calm.

"Bellatrix what are you doing here?" she asked, still searching for her wand, but she couldn't spot it anywhere in the living room.

All she could hope for was that someone from the Order would arrive soon. After all, her place had a special charm for the homes of every order member, and when dark magic was performed, an alarm would start in the headquarters.

"Are you looking for this?" she asked taking out Lily's wand. Lily knew she needed to do something, but surprisingly Bella returned her the wand.

"Now it wouldn't be fair would it? If I take you down, I want to do it correctly," she said smugly.

"Never knew you were one to know what's correct and what's not?" Lily replied and tried to mutter a spell but Bella was faster.

"Crucio."

Lily was hit by the curse in the chest, and the greatness of the pain couldn't be described. She felt like just falling, but the thought of her baby kept her standing to fight the curse.

Bella was obviously surprised at her resistance, "I see you're still able to fight the curse. I must compliment you. Few people can do that, and you being a filthy mudblood, it just makes it more surprising."

Lily was able to completely resist the curse, and so the duel began. Curses, hexes, and spells were flying all over the living room destroying everything. Both of them were bleeding now, but you couldn't tell who was winning; one looked as terrible as the other. They continued like that for a little while until Bellatrix send her flying across the room, making Lily hit the wall and drop her wand leaving her almost unconscious.

"That'll do mudblood," Bellatrix said tiredly.

"Good for a mudblood but not enough. Maybe some other time in some other life," Bellatrix said.

Lily stood up and sent her flying like Bellatrix had just did. Both were shooting daggers through their eyes at each other.

"I'm getting tired," said Bella standing up and facing Lily once again.

"AVADA KEDAVRA," she shouted, and Lily dodged the curse.

She knew that now Bellatrix was just going to try to kill her, and she didn't just shoot the spell to her once, she did it five more times. Lily had really good reflexes and was able to dodge it each time. Bellatrix was really angry and the smirk had disappeared from her face.

"Care to say your last words?" she asked while stopping to catch her breath, but Lily just laughed out loud.

"This is ridiculous. Maybe some other time when that aiming of yours gets better," She mused, but knew it was her chance to leave.

She started throwing as many spells, curses and jinxes she could muster while getting as near as she could to the door.

"ENOUGH!" a voice roared from the porch. A deep voice reverberated within the space for an eternity of time.

Lily saw Bellatrix's face go blank and she knew it was him. Lily barely had time to turn before she saw was the flash of emerald green light as it rushed towards her, pushing the life out of her and making her fall to the ground.

Lily woke up agitated. She tried to recognize her room but found her self lost. She got up alarmed and noticed that she was in a hotel. What was she doing here? Why was she wearing these clothes? She noticed a piece of parchment on the table and read a note of her own writing that said Get Dumbledore here. Just then her owl came swooping through the window, so she started writing quickly. She described the place as the best she could until she read just next to the table the title of a book that said New York City: How to Find Your Way Around. Just next to it was the address and name of the hotel where she was staying. Confusion was the feeling she had right now along with fear. She was scared.

"Find Dumbledore fast," she said to the owl and looked outside trying to recognize the surroundings, but they were unfamiliar to her. What was she doing in New York of all places?

She couldn't remember clearly what had happened last night. It was like a blur, but it obviously didn't involve New York or a hotel.

She decided to take a bath. After the tub was filled she undressed and got in. She relaxed a bit, she was sure there was an explanation for all of this. After finishing she got out and looked herself at the mirror and noticed a scar in her belly. The thoughts instantly flew to her baby. Her baby! She needed to see a Healer to know if he or she was okay. She needed James now.

Then a sudden flash appeared. She remembered was the struggling against a woman, Bellarix Black. She had broken into her place but that was all. The whole scenario was getting to her nerves, she was impatient. She wished she could just apparate, but she was very troubled to do that. She sat in bed to calm herself for a moment. Hopefully Dumbledore would find her soon. She started to pace around trying to calm herself, but it was useless so she just sat at the bed waiting for someone to come. She heard a pop and there he was.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

There he was looking at her as if it was the first time. He blinked once, and he blinked twice, just to make sure that she really was there sitting just in front of him. This was too much. She looked so scared, so nervous, so changed, so completely different. He couldn't find what it was, but after a moment of fixing his gaze on hers he was able to notice what was wrong. She looked as if someone had taken her innocence away. He had never seen her like this. That spark that used to be in her piercing green eyes was gone. But beyond all that she looked so beautiful and gorgeous to him. Her hair was longer that the last time he had seen her; that auburn hair he had touched so many times. He still remembered how crushed he had been when Dumbledore had told him the news. Although it had been a long time ago, everything was still fresh in his mind as if it just had happened yesterday.

A very shocked and angry James Potter entered into the Order's headquarters looking for answers. Nobody had told him anything. He had heard the rumors, but he wanted to hear it from him. Dumbledore never lied. When he entered everybody was assembled there, and so far the panorama wasn't looking good. Genvieve and Jing-Mei were with bloodshot eyes. Danielle and Caroline were on the verge of tears. Just a few feet away McGonagall was crying desperately.

"James, I'm sorry," said Dumbledore with the saddest expression James had seen on his face. He had never seen him looking this sad.

"Where is she!" he screamed not wanting to believe it.

Everyone looked at him with sympathy. Sirius and Remus approached, both of them had red-rimmed eyes. Sirius hugged James as hard as he could and tears gathered in his eyes. Remus did the same and both looked at James.

"Where is she!" he yelled once more not wanting to believe it.

No, no, no this couldn't be happening; not to him of all people. But when he saw his best friends' looks, truth started to sink in. All the color drained from James' face. He felt completely numb.

He practically ran out from the headquarters. He apparated into his parent's home and locked himself into his old bedroom. He leaned back against the wall and sobbed. It was the first time he could remember crying like this since he had been a little boy. Men weren't supposed to cry, not like this. But this was the love of his life. Lily Evans was dead. His fiancée was dead.

Later he had learned that Bellatrix Black had appeared to their house and Lily and she had dueled. Dumbledore had been notified because of the spell and he had gone immediately to their place. He had arrived just in time to watch Voldemort kill her. The place was completely destroyed after that. They had left nothing, not even her body. Voldemort himself had carried her lifeless body. He had told Dumbledore that by no means was he giving her back, and that James refusing his offer hadn't been the best choice. Now he was paying the consequences for his stupid decisions. He was never seeing her again. His whole world had fallen apart, but the whole time she had been alive. After two years she was back. After two bloody years she had appeared.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After gaining some strength, Lily got up and embraced James with the same intensity as he was holding her. He felt like never letting go and he kissed her softly for the first time in years, and tears started to stream down of both faces. They broke apart and Lily caught sight of a ring on James' hand, a wedding ring. Then she looked at her hand and only noticed her engagement ring. There was no wedding band. Startled by this she sat up once again.

James just sighed and went to the window to stop looking at her. He had known from the first moment he saw her that he still loved her, but he hadn't been sure she still did. He had no idea what had happened to her in those two years. Many things could've changed in her. Hell, many things had changed in his life. He was still shaken up and having her there so confused was much worse.

Finally without looking he reluctantly said, "Lily, we thought you were dead. They asked me to come back to...to explain."

"Come back from what? What are you talking about?" Lily asked.

"You've been missing for two years," he said.
