--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Take a breath, take it deep
Calm yourself

James continued stared in horror at the item he held in his hands, closing his eyes he blinked back the tears at the clear result. Swallowing down the bile that rose in his throat James fought to control his breathing.

And you can see my heart, beating
you can see it through my chest

Struggling for air, he searched frantically for the stick box.

I'm sweating now, moving slow
No time to think

Looking down he saw the elusive box lying underneath the sink, bending down he slowly picked up the box. His eyes over the back of the box, sweating beading across his forehead as his stomach continued to could and tightened.

Say a prayer to yourself

"Please God let me be wrong, please I beg of you." He pleaded to the invisible diety.

Close your eyes,
sometimes it helps

Closing his eyes, he took a deep breath…

He looked down at the box tightly closed in his hands; he slowly turns it over and begins to read the back. Smiling in relief as he read the instructions and miscellaneous. It had only been a week he wasn't pregnant. Snorted to himself he said aloud to no one in particular, "How could I be, I'm a boy."

"Just, an ordinary boy…" He whispered. Staring into his reflection, he scowled at his appearance. His hair was even more of a mess then usual, the endless curls de-masculine him giving him an effeminate appearance. His hazel eyes had a greenish glow to them, and under them were dark lines and rings evidence of his insomnia. He'd lost a lot of weight, although since Karen found him he gained some of it back. He was no longer skeletal looking, but his features still remained somewhat gaunt.

KNOCK, KNOCK!

"Hey James hurry the bloody hell up, we've got work to do" Sharon the pretty brown-haired girl who lived across from him called out.

"JAMES!" She shouted again, her fist banging at the door insistently.

"Coming…" James shouted out in frustration. He could barely contain a snarl, but she was right they did have work to do. Monday nights were their busiest.

Looking back at his own features James took a deep breath before turning and making his way out of the bathroom.

Everything would be okay, he repeated. A mantra that had become a constant reminder of his new self and his strength, the new James would survive.

Said I'm terrified but I'm not leaving
I know that I must pass this test
So just pull the trigger

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Oh my James, you look so-" The giddy blonde woman whispered, she bit her lips as she tried to find the words that best described her friend appearance.

"So…"

"I don't know how to really describe it; you've got an ethereal thing going on. Aha-ha if I didn't know better I would say you were up the duff, especially after you went home with that handsome stranger a month ago-"

"James are you okay, James….JAMES!"

She snapped her fingers in his face whilst James continued to stare at her blankly his mind otherwise occupied by memories of the night. Shaking his head in frustration he gave her a small smile before replying, "I-I'm sorry Karen, I was just thinking."

He was tired and staring the last thing he wanted to do was trade sex stories with Karen. He knew all too well that she had more experience in regards to sex than he or any other person in the UK for that matter.

"About, oh-your handsome lover." Karen leered before winking at the youth. She burst into laughter when James cheeks turned a stunning shade of red.

"No, we didn't use protection. It was just one time. We-well we did it more than once –gasp- is that enough for me to become pregnant." James wondered aloud, his eyes resembling giant saucers.

"Oh dear…." Karen whispered as her hands fell onto her breast. Waving her hands, she signaled another girl to come over. Turning back to James, she stared at the frightened and heavily shaking youth. Oh, she prayed to all the Gods that he was not with child.

"Come with me quickly."

James followed behind the woman, his head downcast as fear raced though him, 'How the hell was he gonna raise a child, he was poor and barely had a home'. Those dark thoughts muddled his mind; causing a rift so deep, he soon found it too hard breath.

"Close the door behind you dear." Karen said as she turned and began to search through cases.

James shut the door firmly behind him before he wordlessly casted a silencing and locking charm. Wandless and non-verbal magic was something he'd become quite sufficient at, seeing as his wand was snapped following his expulsion.

"Found it." Karen cried triumphantly, her smile faltering as she turned to her young ward. The boy was not meant for such a job, he was far too beautiful and much too temperamental. However, his beauty alone had garnered quite a clientele and perhaps in a year or so she would begin his education in the art of sex magic.

"James."

She watched as the boy body shook as silent tears gave way. She gently pushed his head up she stared into tear filled eyes, it was the most heartbreaking thing she had ever seen.

"Wha-what…what am I supp-suppose to do." He choked out, "I…I do-don't have any money or a place to stay." He continued as he sobbed brokenly onto her shoulders.

"There, there." She murmured softly as she patted his back sympathetically.

"It'll be alright." She knew what she was saying was a lie; everything would not be all right. Pregnancies were a tricky affair particular for those unwed and underage, their magic was not strong enough to handle the burden of a pregnancy. Too much magic was needed to create and hold the womb. James would unfortunately have to abort the child and move on with his life. She herself had had several abortions, such a thing was a regular fixture for those in their line of work. She had already received several offers for James; she made a note that during this doctor visit to sterilize him permanently.

"NO IT ISN'T!" James screamed out, pushing Karen away he sobbed against the door.

"Sssh, sshh." Karen whispered as she rubbed his back.

"James, James, look at me. I want you to drink this, don't worry it won't hurt you. I just want to check something."

"What is it?" James asked suspiciously.

"It's a paternity potion, very expensive so drink up." Karen explained as she held a bluish-green tinted bottle, which shaped reminded James that of a butter beer bottle.

"O-okay." He finally agreed, taking the bottle from her hand. Tilting his head back he drank it in one gulp, he blanched at the taste. Blurgh, it was as bad as Hagrid rock cakes…

-Burp-

Leaning over James fought to contain the bile, as nausea swept through his body.

"Morning sickness is the worst I tell you." Karen absently remarked before she shut her mouth at the glare James was ending her.

Pulling himself back up James took deep breath and leaned against the door.

-Gasp-

James hissed out irritably, opening his eyes he noticed a purplish glow had appeared around them. Looking around for the source his eyes fell onto his own form. The light was emitting from his own belly, he had read once about the magical signature of unborn children. The brighter the light the more powerful the child and as James stared he knew that his unborn baby was going to be quite the wizard.

"Dear lord look at that glow." Karen whispered in shock.

James had since ignored her presence and instead rested his hands over his still flat belly. James watched as his belly slowly turned green, thus confirming his pregnancy. The purple from before was still there, just slightly subdued.

"Isn't it amazing, wow Karen my baby is going to be really special." James gushed out.

James eyes suddenly flew open in shock at his reaction. He placed his hands over his mouth as relaxation came over him. James nee Potter was pregnant, 'Oh shit!'

"James dear are you alright, we've got to leave now." Karen said softly as she rested her hands on his shoulders.

"Huh, where are we going?" James asked confusedly.

"To see a Medic-Wizard silly, we have to find out how far along you are and maybe….."

'How much that baby you're carrying is worth' Her mind already working out the kinks of her plan.

Don't get her wrong she liked James, a lot. But, life out here was hard and she wasn't getting any younger or pulling in men like she use to. She was fairly certain though that a person of James caliber would be more then capable of creating some pretty powerful and not to mention beautiful offspring's. She knew a handful of Wizarding families that would give half their vaults for a child that showed even a glimmer of above average magical prowess.

"Maybe what."

"Oh nothing silly Jamie, just me being me…" Karen said with a laugh. It wouldn't do for him to become suspicious of her. She knew from the moment she saw him huddled in that dark corner that he was going places. James was her meal ticket and she would protect what was hers.

James stared at her as though she had grown an extra head. He didn't know Karen that well but she'd been really nice to him. She got him a roof over his head, a job and clothes. They may not be what he was use to but it was better than nothing. So he didn't even protest as she dragged him back into the bar and through the doors. James had to rethink his life; afterall he had a baby on the way. And his second course of action was to hunt down the bastard who got him up the duff in the first place and torture him slowly.
