Harry was playing with his toy trains while his mother, Lily, patiently read her book waiting for James to pick Harry up. Minutes later was there a knock at the door and Lily struggled to get up, due to her pregnant stomach. She waddled to the door as fast as she could and pulled it open to reveal the face of her ex husband.
"Hello, James," Lily said sweetly with a small grin.
"Hey, Lils," James responded and ruffled his hair. Lily laughed a little.
"Harry, your daddy's here!" She called over her shoulder. In a flash a tiny figure came running and attacked James's leg.
"Daddy!" Harry greeted him enthusiastically. James smiled and scooped him up and into a hug. The two of them stayed like that for a while leaving Lily to look upon wearing a bittersweet smile.
"So have you been good for your mom?" James asked in a strict tone as Harry lifted his head out of the crook of his father's neck.
"Yep!" Harry replied happily. James messed his sons hair up as he set him back on the ground.
"That's good, because you know your mommy can move around as well as she used to with a baby in her tummy." James said.
"I know." Harry said in a bored tone that show he'd been told this many times.
"Harry, go get your overnight bag so you and daddy can leave." Lily told her son. Harry nodded and rushed off to find the bag Lily packed.
"You know Lil," James started as he took a step closer to her. "I always liked it when you called me daddy."
Lily laughed and smacked his shoulder. "James!"
"What?" He asked innocently, while rubbing his sore shoulder. He almost forgot how hard Lily punched.
"Don't say things like that." She whispered and looked around the empty room. James scowled, knowing the reason why.
"So are you going to invite me to come in, while Harry gets his things?" James asked. Lily blushed a little and stepped to the side.
"Sorry," She said. "Come on in."
James stepped fully into the house and Lily shut the door behind him. He looked around at the house, it was obvious that Lily decorated it. Before it was dark and dingy, now it was bright and vibrant. Just like Lily.
Lily stepped in front of him again and asked, "Can I get you something to drink?"
James didn't answer. He stood in place and took in the beautiful sight in front of him. Lily began to get nervous under his gaze so she started to rub her large stomach. A nervous habit she had even when she was pregnant with Harry.
"You look beautiful," James said in a low whisper that Lily found incredibly sexy. "You're glowing."
"James-" She groaned but James cut her off by gently placing his lips on her. After a few moments he pulled himself out of the kiss to look at Lily. He smiled when he saw her eyes still closed and body leaned towards his.
"Wow." She breathed out and opened her eyes. James leaned in again. His lips only touched hers for a second before he found himself flying in the air and then crashing into the wall behind him.
"Severus, stop it!" Lily screamed out. She grabbed his arm but he brushed her off and walked over to the spot James was laying on the floor and gave him a swift kick in the ribs.
"Severus!" Lily cried and searched her robe pockets to find that she had misplaced her wand. 'Damn it!' she thought.
Severus leaned over James and grabbed him by his robes pulling him closer to his face.
"Don't you ever go near my wife, again." He hissed. Both of their eyes met and both held the same amount of hatred for the other. James balled his hand into a fist and with all of his weight smashed it into Severus's face.
"Daddy!" Harry yelled out as he walked down the stairs with his backpack on. James turned his back away from Severus and opened his mouth to comfort him when he felt a spell hit him in the back.
"No, Sev!" Harry shouted. Lily quickly grabbed his hand and dragged him back to his room to prevent him from seeing more than he just had.
"Why are they fighting?" Four year-old Harry wailed into his mother's arms. Lily lifted his face to meet hers and gently wiped away his tears with her hands.
"I don't know, baby." She lied and placed a small kiss on his cheek. She pulled him back into her arms and let him cry into her shirt. She looked around the room and her eyes nearly popped with happiness when she saw her wand on top of Harry's dresser. She summoned it and put a silencing charm on the room so Harry won't have to hear anymore the commotion going on downstairs.
"Mommy?" Harry asked in a semi-calm voice. She smiled down at him.
"What, sweetie?"
"The baby kicked!" He said happily. Lily placed her hand over his on her stomach and tried to calm herself. The baby was obviously feeling stressed. No matter what was going on in her love life her children would never suffer. She would make sure of it. She reluctantly pulled Harry off of her and promised she would be right back.
"Okay." Harry said understandingly. Lily smiled in spite of the situation because of how mature her baby was.
Lily, wand in hand, walked out of Harry's room. As she began to come down the stairs she saw what a mess the two of them made of her house. They were still fighting when Lily sent a body binding spell at both of them. The commotion immediately stopped and Lily came down the rest of the stairs. She walked over various items of hers smashed on the floor and to the two stiff bodies on the floor that were watching her every move.
"What the fuck was that!" Lily hissed at them. "Don't you ever fight in front of my child again."
Lily then undid James's body bind and helped him to his feet.
"James you can come and pick up Harry, tomorrow." Lily said flatly and James seethed.
"I'm not leaving my son here with that lunatic!" James bellowed at her. Lily rolled her eyes.
"You don't need to worry about that," Lily said as she undid the spell on her husband. "Because Severus won't be staying here tonight."
"What!" Severus yelped and jumped to his feet. "That fucking prick kisses my pregnant wife and I'm the one who's in the wrong?"
"No you're in the wrong for upsetting my both of my children." Lily snapped. She flicked her wand and the front door flew open.
"Both of you leave." She said with her teeth gritted together.
"But Lily," James said.
"OUT!" She screamed. They both dragged their feet leaving and as the last foot step out of the door Lily slammed it. She let out a loud shaky breath and went back upstairs to Harry's room.
