"Lils..," James sighs as he runs a hand through his messy, raven black hair.
"Stop that, James, you're ruining your hair," scolds Lily as she slaps his hand away from his hair.
"Lily, why not? Imagine how much joy a little boy would bring into the house," says James.
"James! We can't bring a child into this mess! There's You-know-who and his followers terrorizing the wizarding world, we can't bring a child into an unsafe world! We work in the Order, our lives are already very unsafe. How can we possibly protect and nurture a child while protecting ourselves? What if... what if we die, James? We can't do that to a child. We...we can't do that," Lily chokes out, her voice being barely audible as she says the last several words.
"Hey," says James softly as puts his arm around his wife, "we'll...we'll be okay. We'll survive. Who knows? Maybe I'll even learn to cook," says James optimistically, as it was a well known fact that no matter how simple the dish, James could not cook. When the eggs you make manage to pick themselves up off the plate and walk off the table, you know it's hopeless.
Lily snorts, "When pigs fly."
James grins mischievously, "I can arrange that."
"You know what I meant," says Lily as she rolls her eyes at him. "Can we at least wait a little before deciding? I don't feel like arguing right now."
"Of course, Lils," replies James as he plants a kiss on her forehead. "Meanwhile, do you want to watch Full House? We can order pizza, too."
"You know me so well," laughs Lily as she kisses his cheek. "Order a large size, I'm starving. Oh, and with extra cheese and olives."
"Got it!" replies James, laughing. He gets up to go make the order through telephone and comes back with a blanket and sodas. James turns on the television and they snuggle into each other, James arms protectively around Lily. And Lily knows that, even if they might not survive, even if they have to make sacrifices, James will be there for her and vice versa. She nuzzles into his chest and feels like how she always does in his strong arms-safe.
