Lily has not been able to fall asleep the last few nights. Every night, after the lights went out and she kisses her husband asleep, she lies awake staring at the ceiling while rubbing her belly.
James took light note of it, but by the third night he finally says something, "The baby keeping you awake?"
Lily had just been in a deep train of thought, and it takes her by surprise to hear the sound of her husband's voice, so she jumps.
"No, the little guy is only swimming."
"What's bothering you love?"
Lily shifts toward him, the bed creaking with her movement. Lily looks her husband, staring into his deep hazel eyes, where she sees a mixture of curiosity and concern.
Lily then replies, "Do you think it's a mistake having him with everything that is going on?"
James lies there in shock for a second, but relaxes quickly, thinking about the World that surrounded their lives lately.
Now that she was pregnant, Lily only did work in the Aurour office, where she was assigned to doing paper work. It was before then she had joined James on the countless missions that lead to battlefields of death and destruction currently happening in their lives, and those of the Wizarding World.
"No, if anything it is best now, because we can not predict the future."
"Exactly! What are we thinking then, bringing a child into this type of World, this type of life!"
James thinks for a moment, and then he starts brushing light feathered kisses across her cheek and begins to speak, "We are bringing him into a world where he will be loved. Loved by his parents, by their friends, by his family. What more can we give him?"
"What a lucky boy he'll be" sighs Lily. James brings her into a tight embrace, cradling her as she finally falls asleep.
Thanks for reading! My first fic after many years of adoring and loving James and Lily. Any feedback is appreciated!
