Lily Potter sat down hard on Severus Snape's couch. "Sev, what are we going to do? I mean, I'm married. Recently married! I mean, James doesn't even know about this!"
Severus sat down beside his former fiancée, tucking her red hair behind her ear. The woman beside him continued babbling like she used to when she was nervous. "Lil," he said, taking her hand. She didn't stop. "Lily Evans!" She stopped. "Listen to me. When Harry is born, put a Glamour over him."
She frowned. "Harry? And you think the baby will be a boy?"
Severus shrugged. "Call it a hunch. Love, I'm sorry… You're right. You're married. I'm 'sided' with the Dark Lord. We can't let this happen."
Lily nodded. "I know. James will think the baby is yours. If it's a boy, I'll name him Harry, with what you want. A girl, I'll make sure we name her Eileen."
Sev sighed. "Lil, you have no idea how bad I want to take you to Prince Manor where we didn't have to worry about Voldemort, James, Dumbledore, and everyone else."
Lily laid her head on Severus's shoulder. "I want you to know, I only married James because of my pregnancy. I mean… Dumbledore told me you were dead, and I didn't want my baby to be a bastard child."
Sev just ran a hand through Lily's red hair. "I know, Lil. But since when is life fair?"
She wiped a tear off her face. "It never has been. If it were, I'd be married to you and not Potter." She sat up. "Well, I'd better get back."
Sev nodded. "Lil, how'd you hear I was alive?"
She smiled. "Call it lover's instinct. I'll place a Glamour on the baby to make it look like James. I love you Severus Tobias Snape."
"I love you too, Lily Marie Evans," he said, kissing her, hand lightly placed on her stomach. He wanted to feel his baby, even if he never did again.
Lily left the house at Spinner's End, Apparating directly to Godric's Hallow. James wasn't back from the meeting yet, so she had a chance to cry. If anything, she could blame it on hormones. She had a feeling this was the last time she'd see her lover.
James came Apparated into the house. "Lily! I'm home!"
"In the kitchen!" Lily called. She had done a quick charm on her face to fix make up and such. "How was the meeting, James?" she asked.
He shrugged. "Dumbledore talked about how he had an inside spy with You-Know-Who, but I don't know… How are you? How's the baby?"
She said, "I'm fine, and so is the baby. I thought of a few names for the baby. I want these names, no matter what you say."
He nodded. "That's fine. What are your ideas?"
"Harry, if it's a boy. Eileen if it's a girl."
James smiled. "Those are perfect names, Lily. Just as you are." He hugged his wife, not knowing that she as imagining Snape hugging her.
