AN: This is short, mostly rant and about the new addition.
icyquest4 has asked me to make Harry the youngest. I have a plan (even if I just came up with it and haven't worked out ALL the details), for that plan Harry will be the youngest.
I also must add for the SN fans there will be no Adam... don't kill me
sorry but he just can't happen in this fic, since I moved HP forward 10 years Lily and James will be alive in '90 when he was suppose to be conceived. According to Wiki he was born September '90 this fic Harry will be born July '90. Yes cannon I can see his existence and frankly an surprised they don't have lots of little half siblings running around. Cannon John always came off as a man that got around... well at least when he was single. When with Mary I see him as being very faithful and devoted. Same with James and Lily in this fic.
I'm still planning on the events of Halloween '91 ('81 cannon) happening but I'm starting to feel really bad for John and the boys. I'm not real sure how Dean would take to losing another mother, especially since he'll have her for 4 years, just like Mary (he's 8 when they met and will be 12 in '91) and his brother will be around a year old too. It will be Mary and Yellow eyes all over again... I hadn't thought of that till just now.

John didn't know what to think. He was thrilled to have another child but also worried since Lily was in such a dangerous situation. As the months marched on Lily ballooned out. Sam was intrigued by the growing belly. Being 5 now he was insanely curious. He was also at first convinced Lilly had eaten the baby. James and Lily were all for going back to England and leaving John with that one. His son he can give the 'talk', or at least a child friendly version.
Across the pond Remus, Sirius and Peter were preparing and excited about the next generation Potter. James had found a healer that was willing to be questioned under veritaserum and swear an unbreakable oath to never reveal any information she learned. The rest of the Order were also excited. Not only was there going to be the first in the next generation of Potter's, but there was a new Weasley on the way. Molly, sister of James' good friends Fabian and Gideon, was expecting her 4th child.
Remus and Sirius were in obvious competition for the coveted Godfather spot. And they were diving Lily crazy. Till her darling little boy Dean made a suggestion when she was complaining at dinner. After she told Sirius and Remus if they didn't shut up she was going to name them the Godmothers, they toned it down and then only 'fought' about it when Lily wasn't around. James ended the argument for good by saying that for any daughter they had Remus would be Godfather and for sons it would be Sirius. Since it was a 50-50 and through out history the Potter's had an even amount of both sexes the 2 agreed. Remus was happy to be able to let Mooney out on any boys that dare approach his Goddaughter and Sirius wanted to teach his Godson all his 'mad' skills with the ladies. He had the misfortune of saying such where Lily could hear and was banned from the house, for a week, and the next 2 sonograms.
As the pregnancy developed John lost his apprehension and became just excited. Lily decided that since John couldn't really come to England for the healer's visits she would go to a local muggle clinic and get them done with John under the name Lily Winchester, his wife (unofficially).
All of the worry that was leaving John seemed to move right into Dean. At first nothing seemed wrong, but as the months passed he became quieter and would look at Lily with a small frown. They didn't know what was going up till just before Christmas when a dam seemed to beak. James had just asked Dean what he wanted for Christmas and the 9 year old broke down in fat tears saying he didn't want his Mom to die. IT took James a long while to calm Dean down. When he did and when they talked it out, James learned that while Dean didn't blame Sam for Mary's death he still associated his birth with her dieing. HE was terrified Lily having a child would lead to her death as well. There was little James could do to soothe his son. He did convince Dean that having the child would not kill her, but he still became hyper vigilant anytime if mom was in the room.

Rosemary Potter was born in a muggle hospital, the stroke of midnight on January 1st 1988. A New Year's baby. She was 19 days early. At birth she had a mass of vibrant red hair and coco brown eyes the perfect mix of John and Lily. They were lucky she was born in America so they could do the adoption before any magical got to see her. Ever since the announcement back in April John had been scrounging for anything of Mary's. He got lucky and uncovered a storage compartment that Mary kept all her parents things in. Inside was a lock of hair from her first hair cut, which her own mother had kept. So they were able to have Mary and James adopt Rosemary, making her, Dean and Sam full siblings in blood even if they were born to different women.
Rosemary was both lucky and unlucky in the adoption. Mary's genes enhanced Lily's so that her red locks fell in spirals and could never be straitened. She also gained the Potter height, she would tower over all the boys in her class for many years to come. But unluckily she also took James' vision. She wouldn't need glasses all the time but by age 9 would need readers to see anything up close. She took after John's mother as well and was very thin boned making her appear under weight even though she was not. As a child she looked awkward and gangly but once she reached puberty and filled out Dean was itching to shot all males that dared to look at his lovely sister who had the figure of a model AND an ample chest like Mary and her (Mary's) mother. Remus was in perfect agreement.

AN: this is all about Rosemary, named after her 'mother' that's dead and following Lily's family tradition of naming girls after flowers/plants.
I see Lily (at least in this fic.) as being on the skinny side with not much in the way of curves. Some but not a lot, the only thing she had in common with her sister Petunia. Mary on the other hand I always pictured as a blonde bombshell, long curly hair, curves for miles, if a bit short. So Dean get's his height from both mom and dad.
Rosemary is kinda based on a good friend of mine. As a kid she was... homely is a nice way of putting it, but looking back now she was almost alien in appearance. But now... Now she looks like a Barbie doll. Beyond stunning. But due to idiots picking on her when she was young and hadn't grown into her features she is very self consensus and doesn't believe how gorgeous she is.
