Hiya,
Here's your next chapter! Leave me a review!

Lily POV
'James!' I launched myself at him and hugged him so tight my arms and fingers started to cramp. He looked at me slightly disorientated before he smiled. I felt his arms wrap round me and his nose burry in my hair. Now I was at home.
''Lily, is that Harry?'' he whispered in my ear discreetly.
''The one and only, go see him.''
James released my gently and slowly but purposefully walked toward harry.
''Son..?''
That was all it took, Harry and James suddenly were hugging and the sight both made me feel extremely happy for the reunion but also heartbroken for the fact it took almost 20 years before Harry properly met his dad and the anger because of that fact made me want to scream. I looked round the room, Fred and Lupin were enveloped by their family talking as if nothing or no time had passed, which was practically true compared to James and Harry.
''Lily!?'' I turned my attention back to my boys and sat next to them, we just talked for a few minutes, about when Harry was younger and then the conversation turned to Ginny.
''She's the most beautiful woman I've ever met, and not just in the physical way. She's kind, caring, intelligent, fiery, witty, hilarious and most of all she is so understanding, it's not even normal. She knows exactly what to do exactly when. ''
James chuckled whilst Harry regained his breath, ''is she a red-head?''
''Yep''
The boys high-fived whilst I rolled my eyes. Sirius came bounding over with Lupin.
''JAMES!''
''MOONY! PADFOOT!''
They started chatting furiously and crazily before I realised they needed to eat, I shouted over them and re-heated the bowls. I met Fred, he was a lovely boy. When he's with George it was a bit like watching two people as mischievous and James and Sirius. That made me chuckle.
After they ate, the Weasleys invited everyone over for lunch the next day and everyone left. Leaving just James, Harry, Sirius, Lupin, Tonks, Ginny, Teddy and myself sitting in the living room. It was very relaxed. I was cuddled into James and Tonks was sitting opposite me on Remus' lap. Harry was sitting on the floor playing with Teddy and Ginny was lying on her stomach next to him. Sirius was sitting on an arm chair near the fire chatting to Remus and his cousin.
James turned to me, ''this is what it should have been like…''
''don't focus on the past, love. We're still young.''
He nodded and turned back to the scene in front of him.

Harry POV
It was still weird that I had two parents. I went from having none to having my mother. That was a miracle in itself but having two parents was absolutely surreal. Out of the corner of my eye I could see my mum and dad curled in the corner talking quietly to each other and part of me felt guilty. It was my fault that they were apart. Even if they both died they would have been together.
''Harry, don't.''
I turned to see Ginny's stern glare.
''don't blame yourself! I have to go in half an hour and I want you to take that stupid thought out of your head and to cheer up! Your family are back!''
Ginny was my… everything. She was like a mind reader knowing exactly what was going through my mind without even having to ask, it was so easy in her company and I couldn't wait till she became Mrs Ginevra Potter. It would be the best day of my life…till our baby was born. I couldn't wait till I held our child. It was going to be difficult because I had always planned on naming our children after my parents and now it would get confusing. But…we would focus on that when the time came.

Lily POV
When I woke up it was still dark, I didn't want to wake up but…where was James? He wasn't next to me. Panicking that it was all a dream, I ran down the stairs before hearing some muffled voices coming from the living room. Curiously and carefully, I tip-toed toward the room and peered round the door. James, Harry and Ginny were sitting in there facing away from me. They were talking I couldn't hear all the conversation but it seemed that they told James about the baby. I was so excited to have a grandbaby but I really want to have more children even if Harry's oldest was older that it's Aunt/Uncle. It just didn't matter anymore.
I walked into the room, they hadn't noticed me yet so I decided to have some fun. I crept behind James, putting my finger to my lips gesturing to Ginny and harry to not react. They both looked at me then back to James, carrying on with their conversation as best they could. I bent down slowly putting my lips by his ear and quickly shouted
''BOOO!''
James jumped up quickly in shock.
''What was that for!? I'm going to get you Lily!''
I just giggled and ran behind Harry.
''Protect me Harry!''
Harry just laughed and ignored us carrying on talking with Ginny. I rolled my eyes at Ginny who laughed and jokily said...
''James! Don't be so meeeeaaaan!''
He sat down mock defeated.
''Guess what Lily-Flower?!''
'What Jamie?'' I said as I sat next to him.
''We're gonna be grandparents!''
''I know, silly. I found out first!''
''ohhhh, do Molly and Arthur know?''
''Not yet, we're going to tell them tomorrow along with the date for the wedding.''
''what did you decide on?''
''The 19th September. I'll only have a small bump and under my dress you won't even recognise it!''
''that's in….32 days. How are you going to plan that!?''
''well, we'll get married at the burrow in the orchard. Mum will do the cooking along with anyone else who wants to help. Fred and George always promised they would marry me. I already know what dress I want and my bridesmaids will be Hermione, Luna and Hannah. Teddy will be ring bearer and Victoire will be the flower girl. Harry, who do you want as your Groomsmen?''
''Urm…Ron's my best man so Neville, and …Dudley?''
I immediately felt pride in my son and his forgiving nature. He definitely didn't get that from me, I could hold grudges for weeks...
*flashback*
''James, please can you take the stack of letters on the table to the red muggle post-box. They are the wedding invites to our muggle wedding. Don't forget, they are very important.''
''yep, sure Lils.''
Later
''James!? WHAT IS THIS! I SPECIFICALLY ASKED YOU TO PUT THEM IN THE BOX! HOW COULD YOU FORGET, I TOLD YOU AS YOU WERE WALKING OUT THE DOOR, ALL YOU HAD TO DO WAS PUSH THEM THROUGH THE FLAP''
''Lils, I'm so sor…''
''Just leave it, James. I have to do everything myself anyways...cleaning, cooking, washing, ironing, looking after you, looking after your friends, looking after the cat that YOU wanted! I will take it to the post-box.''
''Lily, its 11 in the evening..?''
''so? I want them to go in tomorrow's post, the one bloody thing I ask you to do for this whole wedding was to post them, but you can't even do that, hmmmm? Well, if you can't do that them maybe we shouldn't get married...''
''Lils, please don't be like that...''
''don't talk to me.''
It took almost 5 days before I actually acknowledged me and 7 days before I spoke to him.

There you are folks! Your next chapter. I hope to get the next one out soon but after the wedding and the birth of the baby, that will be it. So probably only another 5/6 chapters left!
Also, what should the baby be called? I need some ideas...pm or leave me a review with then name in it and I'll choose the one I like the most…I don't even know if it's going to be a girl or a boy yet.!
Until next time,
Serena :)
