"Lily?" James called, knocking on the door to their bedroom. "Lily, are you alright?" He opened the door slowly, not wanting to wake her if she had been asleep. She had been taking an awful lot of naps lately, and he was sure it was out of boredom, or perhaps depression that they were stuck in the house because of the fidelius charm. He had just gotten Harry down for his own nap, laying the little one down in his crib in the room across the hall.

Lily looked up at him from the end of the bed. She sat clutching her wand, the end of which was glowing a soft blue. Worry was etched into her features, but her green eyes were alight with excitement. James sat down beside her.

"What's this, Lils?" he asked her.

"James, I'm… I'm pregnant!" she exclaimed softly.

He stared at her in shock, a slow smile spreading across his handsome features. "Pregnant?"

She smiled. "That's what I just said, silly!" A dark look passed over her face. "Oh, James. What are we going to do?" She began sobbing, letting her wand slip to the floor. It clattered softly, the blue light fading.

James wrapped his arms around his wife. "We'll be fine. The fidelius charm will keep us safe, and when this is all over, we'll have two beautiful children and a much brighter future."

The redheaded woman in his arms looked up at him with a watery smile. "You really think we'll be okay?"

"Of course we will, babe. You really think old Albus would have hidden us away like this if it wasn't going to work?"

She clutched him tighter with one arm, pressing her other hand against her still flat stomach. The two of them sat in a silent embrace, thinking about the future and what this would mean for them. Harry would have a little brother or sister, and it wouldn't just be three of them in the house anymore. If they had a little boy, he could share a room with Harry. If they had a little girl, they would have to magically add a room to the house.

"James," Lily said softly. "I want Sev to be the Godfather."

James' head snapped up. "Lily," he said with a warning in his voice.

"No, James," she said forcefully. "You listen. Severus was always my best friend. He is a good man. He's working for us, remember? And when all of this is over, he's going to need friends. Family. What happened before is no reason to shun him forever. I want him to be a part of our lives. I want us all to be friends. Please, James?"

James gave her a reassuring squeeze. "I suppose I can't argue with that. But if he screws up, we're letting Sirius be the godfather of this one, too."

Lily giggled. "Just think, James. Another baby."

"Yes," he agreed with a smile. "Another baby."


Okay guys, please don't hate on me too much for the feels. This is actually based off of something JKR said at one point. She revealed that at the time of the Potters' deaths, Lily was pregnant with a second child. And that they had decided to make Severus the godfather. I really felt like this was a scene that needed to be portrayed. Please review!
