Chapter 1:
Small cries filled the air as Lily neared the doorstep and stared down at the baby left alone. She smiled and picked the baby up, coddling it and bouncing it trying to silence its cries.
"There, there mommy's here" she whispered "I'll make it better" she hugged him tightly
"We're going home, a new home"
She smiled and began walking towards a hotel as she heard the door behind her open, and then slowly close.
Now she looked at the small child in her arms and sighed it's been only a few hours since James was killed. Currently the mother and son were staying in a mundane hotel one nobody would expect. Only Remus and Sirius know where they were staying.
Lily rocked the baby and tried to quite him down.
"Now, now" she whispered "it's going to be okay"
A knock came at the door and Lily looked up, she set the child down and walked to the door.
Opening the door a crack it revealed to be Remus and lily asked him a question that only the real Remus would know. Lily asked "what is the most embarrassing thing you have even done." Remus blushed and mumbled "I walked in on Sirius in the shower and joined and ended up not walking for a week."
Lily smirked just a bit and giggled. She nodded and welcomed him inside with a hug.
"Hello Remus" she smiled and closed the door shut. She walked over to the child and held him in her arms. The child looked up at Remus and tilted its head to the side.
Remus smiled and said "the cub looks like you Lily. How have you been? I mean it's only been a few hours and all but where will you go?"
Lily looked down and grimaced; she sighed and fell back onto the bed
"Oh Remus" she covered her face "what am I going to do?" She peaked at the man
"Where can I go?"
Remus said "Egypt? I know James has a mansion in Paris why not there. You and James always talked about Paris."
Lily sat up and nearly bounced
"Oh Remus you're a genius!" She handed the baby to him "hold him for a sec!" She went around the bed and ducked under to grab something.
Remus said "w-what? L-Lily you know I don't know how to hold a child!" Lily said "think of this as preparation for when you have children."
She grinned and pulled a small blanket. Remus blushed and looked away while holding the child out.
Lily grabbed the kid and put him down
"What should we name him?" She pondered
Remus thought and said "Leo Romulus Evens. Leo so he can have the black tradition of having a name after the stars."
Lily smiled and nodded
"Leo...I like that" she pushed Leo's hair out of the way a bit "I hope I do a good job of being a momma"
Remus snorted and said "oh please you're a mother hen to everybody that you care about but then again at least you know what you're doing Molly doesn't."
Lily pouted "I am not a mother hen! Molly is… a different story" She looked towards Leo
"I suppose"
Remus said "go to Paris, find love, and be happy, and raise Leo away from here. You know Dumbledore will try something."
Lily nodded firmly and wrapped Leo up in the blanket "I know, and I won't let anything happen to Leo"
Remus said "Go lily, I'll keep Sirius safe and out of trouble if I can. Wish me luck on the regard."
"I wish you and Sirius luck" she grabbed his hand and gave it a firm hold
"Well let's get going Leo" she picked him up "A new adventure awaits"
Remus said "good luck lovely lily. Find a good place and be safe. We'll be sure to come visit when we can."
Lily smiled brightly and stood up
"Then let us part ways now Remus" her eyes watered ever so slightly "I- make sure to visit! I'll hide you from anything!" Her lip quivered
Remus said "we'll visit. Who knows, you could try and help me get Sirius into a suite."
"Oh I will!" She grinned and waved her arm "with a view of the Eiffel Tower where you two can make love and whisper sweet things" she shook her head and laughed.
Remus blushed and stuttered "d-don't say that!" Why did she have to put it like that, it was so embarrassing!
Lily smirked and poked his face "I'll make sure there's a 'Don't disturb' sign so you don't have to stop" she couldn't hold the laughter in as she shook.
Remus groaned and said "I never would have thought you would have picked up small pranks from James."
Lily smiled and nodded, pointing her nose into the air "of course, now would you want to stay there a few more days and get assistance to help you walk around. After all, I mean what happened last time" she looked away and whistled.
Remus said "we didn't get lost. Ok we did, besides it was my first time in Paris and it was our first date!"
Lily shook her '"tsk, tsk my dear lovebirds"
Remus said "like you know your way around! You ended up in a bakery when you were looking for the bathroom!"
Lily blushed and snapped her head towards him
"At least they had one! And I got food!"
Remus deadpanned "then you ordered snails instead of bread."
"I wanted to know if they were good!" She whined and pouted, waving her arms
Remus said "then there was the time you asked mime for directions and ended up in an invisible box."
Lily nodded "I remember he wouldn't let me out! All I did was ask him and he trapped me! I can't believe everyone just laughed at my panic"
Remus said "Mimi magic is very strange."
"It is, I hope Leo won't have to deal with that" she sighed and began walking towards the door "and now, to Paris" she breathed and Remus nodded, escorting her out.
"To Paris, Lilly"
