"So then our boss walks in and Allison was so embarrassed! You should have seen both their faces!" Sirius finished his story and Remus and James laughed whole-heartedly.

The three 19-year-olds were sitting in James' living room, enjoying butterbeers and talking in the house he shared with his wife of one year, Lily. The other two men were both single and happy. Since they had graduated Hogwarts last year, all three men were training to be Aurors while each working in various desk jobs in the Auror department in the meantime.

"Allison really must not have a great reputation with the boss. Like, this one time last week-" Remus was cut off when they heard the door open and shut and Lily enter.

"James, I'm home! Time to have sex!" She called out nonchalantly. James choked on the tea he had been drinking while Sirius and Remus chuckled lightly.

Lily walked into the room. Her wild, curly red hair was pulled it into a relaxed ponytail in the middle of her head and she was wearing natural, yet professional makeup. She was wearing a black pinstripe suit with tweed shoes and a mint shirt. She dropped her gold Kelly bag on the table and pulled her hair out of the elastic, before noticing the guests and smiling at them, not the least bit embarrasses. "Remus and Sirius! It's wonderful to see you! How are you? Is everything well?"

"Everything is lovely, Lily. Thanks for asking." Remus said kindly.

"Lily! Lovely Lily-Flower! So, you must be quite horny!"

"Maybe I am Sirius! If a pregnant woman wants to have sex with her husband, she can have sex with her husband!"

Throughout this exchange, James has been relatively quiet. But, when Lily said this, James choked on his butterbeer. "You're pregnant?!"

Lily rolled her eyes. "No, James, I'm not pregnant. But I'm ovulating right now, and hopefully that will change in," she checked her watch, "the next 49 minutes and 28 seconds, because Sex and the City is on, and I don't want to miss it." She turned to Remus and Sirius. "You two are welcome to stay if you want, but James and I are going to go make a baby."

"Alright. Okay. You know what, I think we're going to go now, but good luck, I guess."

"Thanks. We'll see you tomorrow."

As soon as Sirius and Remus were gone, James looked at his wife mischievously. "So, you needed something?"

Lily smiled at him sensually, and James proceeded to pick her up and carry her into the bedroom.

ONE WEEK LATER

"Hey, it's gonna be fine. We can always try again if it didn't happen for us this time." James comforted his wife as the two sat in the living room, waiting for the pregnancy stick in the dish to ding and tell them if Lily was pregnant. Lily was leaning against James and sat in-between his legs with his arms wrapped around her lovingly.

DING!

Lily smiled up at him nervously. "It's ready."

Lily reached out and picked up the dish. James lightly squeezed her reassuringly as Lily picked the top off the dish.

"We're pregnant!" she whispered.

"SCORE! WE"RE GOING TO HAVE A BABY!!!!" The expecting parents rejoiced, promptly gluing their lips together, before Lily broke off to talk.

"Hey, I have an idea. How about we invite Remus, Sirius, and our parents over for dinner tonight to tell them about the baby!"

"If that's what you want to do, Lily, then it sounds perfect to me."

Lily smiled at him and pulled his head down, kissing him soundly and crossing her wrists around his neck.

"Honey, I'm home!!!! LUCY, WHERE ARE YOU????" Lily and James broke apart, hearing Sirius' distinct voice call from the front door. As if on que, Remus and Sirius came to the family room where Lily and James were standing with the used pregnancy test.

"Hey, what's up? Why are you smiling so much?" Remus asked, looking back and forth at the two of them.

"Hey, um, we were wondering if you wanted to come to dinner tonight. We're having a one-year anniversary party." Lily asked.

"Ok, sure. But your anniversary was last week."

"Yea, but we never had a party. We loved spending it together, but we thought it would be nice to have something with the people who love us. Oh, and don't worry, you don't have to get us another present."

Sirius smiled. "You read my mind."

LATER THAT NIGHT (AT DINNER)

Lily, James, Sirius, Remus, James' parents, Harold and Carole, and Lilys' parents, Alexander and Elizabeth, were all sitting around the table. When they finished eating, Lily and James stood up, smiling, with their fingers laced together.

Lily cleared her throat delicately. "Um, so we have and announcment to make." She smiled up at James and he squeezed her hand, before she smiled at her family and friends.

"We're pregnant!"

After a moment, everyone reacted. Both sets of parents went up and startd hugging their child and child-in-law. Lily, Elizabeth, and Carole all started crying happily, and Sirius and Remus were joining in on the hug-fest.

Sirius hopped onto his chair. "Hey! Let's celebrate with dessert, talk about baby names, and plan a baby shopping day!"

NINE MONTHS AND TWO WEEKS LATER

Lily reclined on the couch with her feet propped up on James' lap, who was sitting next to her, and he massaged her feet. She groaned and dropped her head back. "Why am I still pregnant?'

"Lily, the doctor said it was perfectly normal, but stress ig out about it isn't good for the baby."

Lily sighed. "I know, I know, but why doesn't he want to come out of me? Can't he just pop out already?"

"You know Lily, maybe he's just happy in there. Maybe you've just made such a comfy home for him that he doesn't want to come out!"

"James, you are su- Oh my god." Lily's eyes went wide and her hand flew to her stomach.

"Lily, what's wrong?" Lily couldn't help but think that, if it was any other day, the amount of genuine concern in his voice would have made her swoon.

"I think I'm in labor."
