Hey everyone I'm back. Sorry it took so long to bring up this chap.
Well thank you to
Marauders3 and kungphoomunky
for reviewing!! Here's chapter two.
^o^ Taking care of James ^o^
It had been two days since James first got sick and Lily was going
out of her mind. She didn't think she could last another day with
taking care of curious Harry and James. Lily didn't want to ask
Sirius to help because she knew that Remus needed him on the full
moon.
'Lily! Can you come here please?' called James's hoarse voice from
the living room.
Lily almost sighed out loud but caught herself in time. She knew
James already felt bad enough about the situation and she didn't
want him to feel worse. After all it wasn't his fault. 'Coming James
just give me a minute.'
Lily went to the playroom to check on Harry. As she neared the door
she almost panicked when she couldn't hear him. Lily looked around
the room and spotted Harry near his toy chest. He was silently
working on a puzzle. Lily smiled at Harry's look of concentration.
After one last glance she headed toward the living room.
James lay on the couch, looking miserable and tired. He had pieces
of parchment and a quill with a bottle of black ink sitting on the
table beside him. Even though he was sick, James didn't stop doing
his Auror duty. Three huge books were also on the table, each one
talking about some defense spells and curses and how to block and
cast them.
' James what is it? Do you need something to drink or eat?'
James grimaced at the word eat and shook his head. He motioned for
her to sit down, so she sat. Lily looked at him expectantly and he
sighed.
' Uh..er..Lily are you okay?'
Lily looked at him with surprise. ' Am I okay? I think I should be
asking you that don't you James.'
James shrugged and said, 'Well I know that it's not easy for you to
manage the house, Harry, and me and I just wanted to make sure you
aren't feeling sick.'
Lily smiled at James's thoughtfulness. Often she wondered how a
conceited teen could ever become an unselfish person. Lily knew from
the start, conceited or not, that she was in love with James. Now
she could see why even though she really never did before she
married him.
'I'm fine James and so is Harry. So stop worrying about us and
besides I've already had the flu so it is very unlikely I'll get it
again. Besides I was just thinking about calling Sirius tomorrow to
help me around the house.'
James nodded and sighed. 'Lily dear can I ask you a favor.'
'Yes James you may.'
'Kill me.'
Lily chuckled and put a hand to James's forehead. Her chuckling
stopped when she noticed that his fever had returned, even higher
than last time.
'James how come you didn't tell me your fever was back.'
'I didn't notice it to be honest with you. I just thought..well I
don't know.'
Lily shook her head in exasperation. She stood up and walked to the
kitchen and pulled out the ingredients for a fever potion. As she
was mixing it Harry came in the kitchen. He had the fake snitch
James gave him on his first Christmas.
'Mommy lookie it fwies, see zoooom, zoooom, like padfoo's
moworcicle.'
Lily grinned during the first part of the sentence but the grin
faded when Harry said motorcycle. Lily was not very fond of Sirius's
motorcycle that he had enchanted to fly.
' Yes sweetie that's very nice, now why don't you go show daddy.'
'Okay mommy.'
Zooming noises were heard from Harry all the way to the living room
and James' laughter came split seconds after Harry got in there.
Lily finished the potion and waited five minutes for it to simmer.
As soon as it was cool enough she poured a generous amount in a vile
and took it to James.
'Mommy what that huh, what that?'
Lily looked down to Harry's curious expression. 'That is your
daddy's medicene. He has to take it because he's sick.'
Harry looked confused for a second. Then understanding must have hit
when James made a face. 'It yucky daddy?'
'No not at all it taste pleasant Harry.'
Lily narrowed her eyes a little. 'Don't be sarcastic with him. It's
not his fault you went out into the stupid rain for someone whom you
probably will never see again.'
James sank lower into the pillows and Lily grinned. Harry climbed up
beside
James and lay down. After seconds he fell asleep and the parents
looked on fondly.
'I'll take him to his bed,' Lily whispered. James nodded and Lily
picked Harry up. When she got back down James was asleep, too.
Relief washed over her and she stretched out on the couch in the
den. Her eyes became heavy and she drifted off to sleep.
Chapter two done and gone hoped you all enjoyed it!!!!
