i rolled over on my side, and looked at the man before my emerald green eyes. He looked so peaceful asleep, like nothing could worry him. Not the raging war at large, not the fact we are in hiding, and not even the fact that our little baby boy was born into this magical war. None of the above looked like it was worrying James Potter, but as his wife, i knew better. I knew it was breaking him that his son is in hiding, as weel as the love of his wife (me, Lilly Potter) and that while others are dyeing and suffering we are safe...for now.

i saw his eyes slowly flutter open, and they looked straight into mine. All my thoughts that concerned him became instantly true as i looked into his eyes, they window to his soul. All the pain he beared, and all the pain he offered for everyone reflected in those dreamy eyes. Then he smiled, that million dollar smile, but it never reached his eyes, not anymore. Everything he had witnessed and all the pain that has been inflicted upon him resulted in the life of his smile. i want to ask him to smile, but as he somewhat already is, it would be a stupid request.

Harry started to cry, and i made a move to get up, but James stopped me. "I'll go hunnie, go back to sleep", he gently pressed his warm lips against my forehead and got up to tend to his boy. i watched him soothe Harry back to calm, cradling him in his muscular arms. Once he was asleep, James put him back in his cradle. Instead of coming back to me, he was making his way out of our bedroom. I didn't want him to leave so i said, "James, don't leave, come back...please". He turned around and walked back over to me. He hopped into our bed and then kissed me, a kiss of such passion and lust, a kiss we had'nt shared for so long. I returned it with such force it even surprised me. He started to unbutton my night clothes, it was then i knew he wanted more than just a passionate kiss. However, i didn't want to give him more if he just wanted to do it, and not care about who it was with. At that moment i looked into his eyes, i saw what i needed to see. i saw him smiling.
