Chapter 7-Wedding Plans
A/N: Ok, I replaced the last chapter A/N thing with an actually chapter, so read that before you read this. Also, this all belongs to JK Rowling, except for Josie, she belongs to yours truly!!
The next day Lily woke up refreshed and happy, she had a feeling that today would be much better yesterday. She reached over the bed only to find cold sheets. Where was James?
Feeling a bit panicky, she rushed out, only to hear singing coming from the direction of the kitchen. What could that be?
Tiptoeing into the kitchen, she found the culprit to be none other than her husband, singing loudly along with the radio, to muggle and wizard songs alike. The smell of pancakes and chocolate chips reached her nose.
A wave of nausea swept over her, and she had to rush to the kitchen to avoid spewing last night's dinner on to the tile floor. She made it to the porcelain bowl of the toilet just in time to empty the contents of her stomach into it. At some point during her retching, she felt James arms rubbing small, soothing circles into her lower back, and holding her long, auburn hair out of her sweaty face.
Eventually her heaves subsided and for a moment she just sat there, allowing James to massage her back, panting. She stood up, wiping her lips with the back of her hand, and standing up. She went to the sink and brushed her teeth, spitting out the remains of the vomit into the sink. An overwhelming feeling over came over her and she rushed back into the kitchen, rifling through the cabinets.
"Love?" James asked nervously, she had been known to snap at him for simple, stupid things when she was pregnant.
"Hmm?" She acknowledged, still looking around the cupboard.
"What are you looking for?"
"I need to find peanut M&Ms James. I really need them."
"Okay…" He trailed off, "Do you want me to pick some up at the market?"
"Yes!" She said, "That would be lovely! And be quick, please, James!" She called as he walked out the door.
Godric's Hollow was a mostly muggle town, with a small community of witches and wizards in it. There was a wizard market, and, of course, a muggle one, where James was sure he would find the peanut M&Ms that his wife was looking for. A few well-placed charms hid the fact that wizards lived in the house from muggle eyes.
James rushed through the isles, quickly scanning them for any sign of peanut M&Ms. Finally, at isle nine, he found them. Why hadn't he just checked there in the first place? The sign said snacks and candy! Merlin, Lily was going to kill him, it was forty-five minutes since Lily had asked him to go out, he would've only been there ten minutes, except that he happened to stop by the muggle kitchen appliances in the fourth isle on his quest for peanut M&Ms. He loved to place with the tongs, and the pots, and the pans, and the spatulas, and, just about everything else…
Anyways, he grabbed four big bags of M&Ms and apparated home to find Lily sitting on the living room floor, playing with Harry. When she noticed him, her eyes went from playfully wide to annoyingly narrow.
"Where were you?" she hissed, "I've been waiting here, craving peanut M&Ms for FORTY FIVE MINUTES!! It's driving me insane!"
"Sorry, Love," James tried feebly.
"Don't you 'Sorry, Love' me, James Potter! Where is the candy?" With that, she grabbed the bag out of his hands, tore it open, and stuffed several M&Ms into her mouth, chewing hungrily. She let out a contented sigh, "Thank you James." She said lightly, placing a chaste kiss on the corner of his mouth.
She pulled away to eat another M&M.
"Oh no you don't," James whispered, pulling her in for another kiss. Neither heard the door open, or Remus, Josie and Sirius's footsteps, in fact neither one noticed until Sirius yelled,
"Bloody hell, mate! There's a juvenile in the room!" They pulled apart, both looking slightly annoyed, but very happy, and rather windswept. They glanced down at Harry, who was happily playing with stuffed animals on the floor.
"Hey, Lils," Josie said, looking amused. Lily rolled her eyes at Sirius and looked over at her best friend. She picked up Harry and handed him to James, following Josie into the kitchen. The men were taking Harry out for the day, and the women were going to work on some wedding plans.
"Okay," Josie started, "First I need to tell you the date of the wedding! We wanted a summer wedding, so we're planning on having it in August. And, of course, you'll be the maid of honor." She smiled at Lily, and Lily smiled back, until she realized something.
"Are you sure that you want me as the maid of honor?"
"Of course, why wouldn't I?"
"Well, the baby will be born by then, and I won't have had time to lose all o f the wait I'll have packed on and…"
"Lily, you are my best friend, I only have two younger brothers, no sisters, and you are going to be the maid of honor no matter what you weigh-Hold on, did you say baby?"
"Er, yeah, I did." Lily realized that only she and James knew about the baby.
"Are-are you pregnant again?"
"Yeah," I muttered, looking away from her.
"Well-this is brilliant, Lily! I couldn't be happier for you."
I gave her a small smile and we continued with the wedding plans.
Later that day, Remus, James and Sirius returned, laden with bags and attempting to hold a very overexcited Harry. Lily took Harry from their arms and set him on the floor.
"What's in the bags?" She asked, mentally and physically preparing herself to either back away slowly, grab Harry and run, or yell so loud that her voice gave away.
"Well, er, you see, Love," He squirmed under her gaze like a child in trouble.
"I sort of, might have told Remus and Sirius about the baby, but they wormed it out of me, I swear!"
"Which explains why it took us a whole five minutes to find out what was going on with him," Remus muttered, just loud enough for everyone to hear.
To everyone's surprise, Lily laughed, she explained what had happened, and how at this point she didn't exactly care if anyone knew.
Moments later, the men were in the sitting room, enjoying butterbeer and talking, as the women cooked dinner in the kitchen.
Soon, dinner was ready, and the Marauders and their ladies/children were enjoying a night of pure fun, just like it used to be.
A/N: I didn't really like this chapter, but I needed to have it in there, it was an obligation. Anyways, Review!!
