'Hey James' Lily and James Potter were in their kitchen. Lily making tea and James magically washing dishes.

'Hmm' James replied pointing his wand at a pile of dishes that started to wash themselves.

'How would you feel about having a baby?' They had talked about it before. She knew what he was going to say.

'Right now?' When she nodded, James continued, 'In the middle of a war?' Lily nodded again. 'I think we should wait until this is all over before we have kids.'

'Oh' Lily said, tears welling up in her eyes. She unsuccessfully tried to hide them by tilting her head down, focusing on the tea leaves at the bottom of her mug.

'That wasn't a good oh. that was a bad oh, a very bad oh. What's wrong? James knew Lily wanted kids but she had agreed with him that they should wait until the war was won and the world was peaceful again.

'Never mind. just forget i said anything.' She replied, tears still building in her eyes threatening to pour over and stream down her face.

'Lily, tell me what's wrong.' Lily finally looked up when she heard the desperation in his voice.

'I'm pregnant.'

A number of things happened in that moment; The kettle sitting on the hot stove began to squeal, a pile of unattended plates slipped off the counter, Lily's tears finally escaped her eyes, she began staining her husbands shirt with salty tears, and James let out an 'Oh.'

'was that a good oh or a bad oh?' Lily asked after she had finally stopped crying.

"That was a shocked oh.' James replied truthfully.

'Shoked is bad, very bad. No what forget I said anything, we'll just get an abortion and forget this all happened.' She said as a few more tears fell from her eyes.

'No, it's not bad. It's good. No It's great. It's... it's bloody brilliant actually.' James said his expression turning from shock to one of content. He kissed his wife full on the lips.

'Really?' Lily asked once they had broken apart. 'You just said you don't want a kid yet.'

'Yes really.' James answered 'It's a littler sooner then I would have liked but it's still a good thing lils.'

'Good, because I really wanted to be a mom.' Lily's face turned from comcern to relief.

'Merlins right testicle. I'm going to be a dad.' James said running a hand through his dark, messy hair.

'and a very good one at at that. As long as you don't say Merlins right testicle around the baby.' Lily joked.

'How do you know?' James asked. 'I mean I'm sure my mom said the same thing to my dad and he was a terrible father.'

'I know because I know you. Your smart, kind, brave, sexy,' Lily was cut off my a pair of lips crashing against her own.

'If you know me so well could you tell me what I''m thinking right now?' James asked a mischievous smile playing on his lips.

'You want to savor the moments I'm not as big as a house. Lily said.

'I wasn't thinking house. More like walrus.' James corrected.

'Shut up and kiss me.' Lilly commanded.

'Will do.' said James.


A/N: long time no write hu? sorry 'bout that. I've been busy with school and homework and work. I've had this written on my phone forever then decided to scribble it in my notebook last week for an english assignment that ended up not even being marked :( Anyways I realized how mush I loved this story and thought I'd post it on Halloween. I'm a day late sorry! but this was to honor Lily and James's death. I might add a bit later but I like the ending the way it is now. Tell me what you think in a review or PM and I'll try to message you back. It might be tricky because I lost my phone last night though. anyways I hoped you liked it.
