Pairing: Lily/Marlene

Lily was strict in the face of the Marauders, but she wasn't impossible… usually. She'd reserved that for her pregnancy instead. Running the men ragged with errands until they demanded a short reprieve.
Marlene thought she'd have an easier time, being a woman. She was wrong, but she couldn't feel she minded. Even three months pregnant, Lily glowed with the fire from her high school days, the fire that had let Marlene to seek her out, to befriend her, to follow her. And now, it seemed, to run around keeping her happy… and with so little time, how could she tire of it?
If she had been James, she would have clung jealously to her wife, enjoyed the friendly little kisses she blew in a rightfully sensual way. For Marlene, she had to keep her true heart cloaked up, let the kisses floss out the door before she can catch them and feel the tinging spread through her skin.
Yes, she was jealous of James, but Lily was in love and be it far from her to ruin it.
