When Lily opened her eyes again she found herself looking straight into the eyes of James, she opened her mouth to give him an earful but the look in his eyes stopped her. Something was terribly wrong.

"James?"

"You're in St Mungo's, you passed out yesterday. They did some tests." James said his eyes were watering, tears falling; Lily reached up and brushed away his tears.

"What happened?"

"Lily you had a miscarriage." James said quietly, this seemed so wrong for him to say.

"But I wasn't pregnant. I couldn't have." Lily said confused.

"You were four months pregnant, they said there were serious problems with the baby, it didn't seem to develop right and it wasn't reacting or doing anything a normal baby should." James explained more tears falling from his eyes as he fell back onto his chair.

"But I still had my periods, and I was on the potion and I didn't have morning sickness, I didn't. I couldn't have been." Lily said quietly. Just then a Healer walked in carrying a clipboard.

"Miss Evans, you're a wake. I'm sorry. I assume Mr Potter has told you what's happened." The Healer said looking at Lily with pity. Lily nodded. "There was nothing the Healers here could do, we tried, but the baby just wasn't developing. We assume you never knew you were pregnant?" The healer asked and once again Lily nodded. "Well that could be due to the complications. You're free to leave when you're ready, but there are people you could talk to if you wanted." the Healer said then left. Immediately Lily got up and walked around, just walked until she stood still very suddenly and looked at James, she felt numb, she was too young to have a baby, and yet she felt empty now she knew she had lost it.

"James?" Lily croaked, brining him from his own world, he looked up to her, she was shaking, he legs were about to give out, he rushed forwards before she hit the ground, and they sunk to the floor together both sobbing.

Ann looked into the room through a small window in the door and let out a cry, the two eighteen year olds were on the floor crying desperately. Harold came and wrapped Ann up in his arms, this was a horrible situation.

That night Lily got back home, she was bundled up in a warm shirt and old jeans, James had his arm around her, both were silent as they walked into the house, Lily had heard they managed to get some of the Deatheaters, and had put the wards back up only stronger. The house had been fixed to normal and nothing was missing, but that didn't lighten Lily's spirits any more.

She didn't know what to feel. Sad to have lost a child she didn't realise she was having, relieved that she wasn't having a baby, no, she didn't feel either, she felt numb, and when she thought about it she wished she could have had the baby because she knew that's what she wanted. She wanted James' child.

That night she lay in bed, sobbing into the night, when James entered her room, crawled into her bed and wrapped his distraught girlfriend up in his arms.

"Shhhhh, it'll be alright. We'll make it through. Shhhhh." He whispered to her before they both fell into an uneasy sleep.

Days later Lily was wearing her black pencil skirt and black shirt, her hair was tied up into a bun, and she looked very pale, they had decided that a funeral would be held for their now dead child, James and Lily had stayed up one night, after going to the hospital and talking to them, to name the baby, Mary Rose Potter.

No body was going to be buried, but a small group of people met all the same.

Belle, Honey, Sirius, Remus, Peter, Severus, Emma, Ann, Harold and Dumbledore were all present as they wished little Mary luck in the next life, which is how Lily liked to think of it. Rather then saying goodbye. James held Lily as she sobbed, Belle and Honey stared shocked at the tombstone, Sirius couldn't bring himself to look, neither could Remus, but Severus stepped forward and placed a small purple rabbit down by the rock, across the teddies white stomach were the words, 'a life time of peace, Mary Potter'. Lily launched herself at Severus and hugged him fiercely; even James hugged the boy he had once hated so much.

As Christmas came, Lily had not let go of Mary Rose, and still held her dear to her heart, but she had started the recovery curve, she smiled sometimes now, it had been four and a half months since it happened.

But as Christmas Eve came James woke Lily up very early to watch the rising sun.

"Ever since we lost Rose I've been thinking, I know I want you to mother my children, I want to live my life with you. Please Lily, Marry me?" James asked, and for the first time in over five months Lily beamed.

"Of course!"

One month later Lily and James wed in a small nearby church. Only to be told by Albus Dumbledore that they would now need to go into hiding.

One week later Lily smiled as James came waltzing into the kitchen, at Godrics Hollow, as Lily cooked his favourite, pasta. She looked around their mint green Kitchen when her eyes landed on a picture, Lily was wearing her wedding dress, it was cream, very simple, two thin straps held it up, it followed her body shape until it reached the hip where the dress flowed out slightly, with on a small amount of beading in a thin band just under the bust. James was standing beside her in the picture wearing his tux, his hair was as messy as ever, but he looked very handsome, beside James was Sirius, Remus and Peter all wearing their suits, all looking very smart. Beside Lily was Belle and Honey, both were wearing dusty pink dresses, very similar to Lily's with out the beading, Little Emma was between Belle and Honey, wearing a dress the same colour, only hers had a little sash around the waist in a dark pink and no beading. Severus was there too wearing a suit, Anne and Harold were both there dressed in red, Albus Dumbledore and Minerva McGonagall. Everyone was smiling and happy.

"It's a beautiful picture isn't it?" James stated as he wrapped his arms around Lily's waist. "Mrs. Potter. Lily Potter. Hmmm, I love you." James mumbled into Lily hair before kissing her pale neck.

"I love you too Mr. Potter." Lily said smiling, she leaned back into James and felt him caress her stomach, she felt sad for a second before realising something. "I'm not going to work. I mean I'm not going to go search for a job." Lily said decisively.

"Are you sure, I know you wanted to. I mean you said you get bored here." James said, not that he wanted Lily to work; he just thought she had wanted to.

"Yes, I don't need to, neither do you really, but James, I want to raise a family, your family, I want your babies." Lily said, causing James to grin.

"Well I think we should get to work on that right away." He said, picking Lily up and taking her to the bedroom.
