Lily and James Potter lay on the opposite side of the bed both in deep thought. Lily sobbed silently into her pillow. As James lay in bed wanting to comfort his wife but not knowing what to say wishing he knew how he could make everything just go away. As he laid there he thought about the ups and downs of the last few weeks. First, he thought of the undeniable happiness that he had felt just a few short weeks ago when Lily had told him that they were going to have a baby. He was so excited ever since the death of both his and Lily's parents this was the only family that either of them really had left except for Petunia and since she barely acknowledge their existence it hardly seemed fitting to include her. Then just two nights ago Dumbledore told them something that changed everything all of their excitement turned to worry and fear that they would die before they even got to see this precious gift. James tried to tell Dumbledore that he wouldn't hide he would fight but when he saw the tears in Lily's eyes as he spoke and he knew that nothing was more important to him then her right now and promised he would hide if only to protect her. As James lay there thinking about the last few weeks Lily spoke up "James, do you still love me?"
James could hardly believe the words coming from her mouth. He turned to look at her the girl who he had spent three years trying to get to notice him. The women who he would do anything for even die if that's what was needed for Lily and this child to be kept alive. He touched her cheek that was moist from tears as he swept her hair out of her eyes. It was at that moment that James realized that for all of his worrying the fact that he had barely spoken to her since the moment they were told about the prophecy had made Lily even more scared then him. He looked at the tears in her eyes and replied "of course I still love you."
He then placed a gentle kiss on her lips. Lily answered that with a much hungrier kiss. James groaned how he had missed this it had been weeks since Lily had kissed him with so much passion. James answered back by opening up his mouth and his tongue began to search Lily's mouth playing carefully with her tonnage. His mind began to wander as he tried to remember the last time they had done this. He then pulled back thinking about the baby and the last time that he touched Lily's breasts she acted as though it hurt. James stopped and looked at Lily she whispered "Don't stop James."
James continued stopping only a few times as he struggled to remove some of her clothes. He quickly found a rhythm climaxing before it seemed he had hardly begun. He turned to Lily who looked up at him and smiled as climbed back into the cover to snuggle up against his wife holding on to her knowing that he never wanted to let go and promising that he never again would he ever let her doubt that he loved her.
