It was around 5 pm when Lily and Alexander heard continuous pounding sounds on the front door of their apartment. Lily got out of Alex's embrace and made her way over to the door and looked through the peephole only to see her two furious older brothers.

"Shit," Lily whispered to herself before slowly opening the door. She opened it enough to be able to see them, but not wide enough for them to get view of anything, or anyone, behind her.

"Lily open the door," An angry faced James growled. Albus stood next to him, arms crossed looking just as upset.

"J- Jamie, A- Alby. P- Please." Lily whimpered, afraid of what the two would do.

"Move out of the way, Lily," Albus spoke emotionlessly.

The two boys moved forward, eventually making Lily step back. They opened the door and swiftly entered the apartment, making a beeline for Alexander who was now standing.

"You knocked up our fucking sister," James spat, grabbing Alexander by his shirt collar.

"J- Jamie!" Lily cried out. "Please don't hurt him. I love him!"

"You don't know what you're saying Lily," Albus spoke. "You're only 18."

"So are you, Al!" Lily yelled, upset at what her brothers were doing. "Don't tell me you don't love Scorpius because we all know you do."

"That's different. We've been with each other longer. We've known each other longer."

"It's not different, Al. Don't say that it's different when it isn't."

Tears were running down Lily's face. She didn't understand why Alex wasn't doing anything, why he wasn't trying to fight back against her brother. Lily quickly texted Ella as she watched James shake Alex back and forth, yelling and cursing at him.

James continued to yell, Alex just standing there completely motionless.

"Why the fuck would you knock up my baby sister. Why the fuck were you having sex with my baby sister in the first place you son of a birch. She's too damn young to be having sex."

James went and raised his fist, getting ready to send a punch to Alex's face when the door burst open to show a fuming Ella and Scorpius.

"James Sirius Potter you better put your fist down right now!" Ella screamed, stomping toward her boyfriend. "Don't you dare hit that boy! That is the father of your soon-to-be little niece or nephew."

James froze, lowering his fist.

"You let him go too," Ella scolded, slapping him upside the head.

James let Alex go who quickly made his way to comfort a crying Lily Luna Potter, the mother of his future son or daughter.

"Albus what the fuck were you thinking?" Scorpius spoke extremely calmly, letting his boyfriend know he was pissed at his actions.

"He knocked her up, Scorp. My baby sister. My Lily." Albus whispered, almost as if the thought had finally caught up to him. "My baby sister is pregnant." The boy broke into a sob, his hand going over his mouth to try and quiet it.

Lily was finally calming down with the help of Alex and she realized that Ella had pulled James into another room, the muffled sounds coming out of the door telling her that James was currently being yelled at.

. . .

Soon enough James was being pushed out of the room and up to Lily and Alex.

"I'm sorry," James mumbled, rubbing the back of his head with his hand.

"For?" Ella piped up, making sure her boyfriend would apologize correctly.

"I'm sorry for overreacting and almost punching you," James mumbled out his full apology, slouching a bit a crossing his arms over his chest in a somewhat defensive stance.

"Louder and stand up straight," Ella spoke hardly, sending him a glare.

James rolled his eyes but fixed his posture and uncrossed his arms nonetheless. "I'm sorry for overreacting and almost punching you. I will support you in any way you need."

"Better."

"Thank you Jamie," Lily whispered, giving her older brother a hug before standing back into the warm and comforting embrace of her boyfriend.

"I'm sorry too," Albus piped up. "That wasn't right of us to do. I'll support you as well."

Scorpius smiled in his boyfriend's direction,
pleased with the outcome of their situation.

"Thanks Alby," Lily whispered, sending him a soft smile.

Ella and Scorpius then left with their boyfriends, leaving Alex and Lily time alone for the rest of the night.
