A/N ok she just had a run in with Voldie and his evil spells, but she'll be ok cause all he did was stun her. SO moving on....
When Lily came to, she saw James leaning over her and watching anxiously.
When she opened her eyes, he leaned over and smiled at her.
"What happened?" Lily asked him groggily.
"Dumbledore came in and save your life. I thought I'd lost you Lil. I really did." James said, looking straight into her eyes.
"Where am I?" Lily asked.
"Madam Pomfrey's. You'll be fine...just a couple of bumps and bruises..from hitting the floor." James said with a frown.
Lily tried to sit up and she saw stars swimming in front of her.
James peered into her face concernedly.
Lily's head cleared and she smiled at her husband.
Madam Pomfrey walked in and smiled.
"You can go home tomorrow. We're just going to keep you here tonight just in case." she said warmly.
Lily nodded and she eased herself back against the pillows so she could talk.
"No more Auror work for you. My heart was in my throat when I saw him curse you. I felt like my life was over Lily. I thought you were dead." James said, looking at her seriously.
"No more Auror work. OK mom. What am I supposed to do all day at home?" she asked with a frown.
"I don't know." James replied, his forehead creasing with thought.
"Well, while you think, I am going to sleep ok?" she said with a yawn.
"Ok. Love you Lil." James said, smiling tiredly.
"Love you too James." she said soflty as she drifted off into sleep.
The next day, after packing, James helped Lily into the car and they headed home.
Lily was glad for the first time to see their little house and its emptiness.
"What do you want for supper?" Lily asked once they were inside.
"Oh no. You are NOT cooking tonight. That would be me." James said with a grin.
"I am so not going to argue with that." Lily said with a grin.
"Somehow I have a feeling that we will be cooking for 6 tonight." James said with a laugh.
And sure enough, 10 minutes later, Sirius, Aria, Remus, and Susianna walked in, knowing that they were just in time for supper.
Lily laughed from where she was sitting in her recliner, a blanket on her lap and a mug of steaming tea in her hands.
Lily was pale and had shadows under her eyes, and though she had always looked thin, today she looked frail as well.
Susianna and Aria rushed over to Lily and hugged her.
"Lily are you ok?" Aria asked her anxiously.
"Yeah I'm fine." she took one glance at their worried faces and said "Ok, I know I look sick, but I am fine. Really I am."
"I'll be fine. I just got back from Madam Pomfrey's. Don't worry about me. Worry about Susianna." she said with a smile as she glanced at Susianna's growing stomach.
Lily felt a pang of jealousy. If only she had been more careful, she would be in her 8th month of pregnancy right now.
Susianna laughed, her eyes glowing as she patted her tummy.
Aria seemed to notice Lily's eyes and she looked away, not wanting to see the pain in her friend's eyes anymore.
James walked in and stepped over to Lily.
Susianna and Aria moved away, giving the couple some space.
James brushed a stray tendril of hair out of Lily's eyes and looked at her worriedly.
"You ok?" he asked for the millionth time that day.
"I am perfectly fine." Lily said, while sneaking a jealous glance at Susianna again.
James, however, noticed the look and he grasped her hand tightly, not knowing what he could say to help her.
"Lily...I.." he trailed off helplessly.
Lily shook her head as if to clear it. "James it'll be all right. We can always try again." she said softly, a tear slowly trickling down her cheek.
"Yeah." James replied, wiping her cheek gently with his thumb.
Lily turned away and James sighed and stood up.
After an abnormally quiet supper (for Lily anyway), they all sat down and started talking, Sirius full of stories as usual.
"And then this Death Eater comes around the door thinking he can scare me...but he was so...er...large, that I could hear every step he took! So I whipped around and kicked him in the stomach. It felt like I had kicked jello!!! Eventually I got him down, but I was laughing so hard it took twice as long as it should have." Sirius said jovially.
They all laughed.
Lily getting down isn't going to help you. You need to get better so that you have the strength to move on. She thought encouragingly.
2 long, hard months later, Lily was back to her normal, healthy, bouncy, energetic self and could be seen cleaning the house, bouncing from room to room humming every day.
"I would take a broomstick and fly awaaaaayyy, fly away to be with yoooouuu." she sung as she dusted and vacuumed her house.
James laughed at the sight of his wife, dust smeared across her cheek and her hair in an untidy ponytail.
She looked up quickly at the sound of his laughter and she grinned.
She rushed over to greet him.
"Not afraid to kiss the dust queen are you?" she asked with a laugh.
"Of course not. Now if you were the dirt queen...I dunno." he said, laughing along with her.
He leaned down and kissed her quickly on the lips before putting down his stuff and taking off his jacket.
It was an early September day, in 1985 and Lily felt that her life couldn't be more perfect.
The leaves were changing color in the yard, she had the best husband, and she was hoping beyond hoping that a baby would soon be on the way.
And there was a high possibilty that there WAS one on the way, since she had been feeling rather nauseated and sick for the past few mornings.
But she didn't tell James that, because she didn't want to get his hopes up and have it turn out to be the flu.
She had scheduled a doctors appointment for the next day, and she was so excited she could hardly sit still.
"Why are you cleaning this room? You just cleaned it yesterday!" James exclaimed.
"Oh I dunno." Lily replied with a smile. " I just felt like it."
"How was your visit with Susianna and her baby?" James asked as he undid his tie. (he had had a meeting that day with some muggles)
"Oh it was great! We went shopping in Diagon Alley and we bought little Benjamin the cutest little outfits!" Lily said, her eyes glowing.
"Glad you had a good day." James said, wondering why she was in SUCH a good mood.
He shrugged, unable to think of anything.
James checked his watch and did a double take 8:00!!!
His stomach growled loudly and Lily heard it.
"Food's on the table, go eat." she said with a laugh.
James didn't need to think twice...he went in to eat his food after giving Lily one more kiss.
Lily just shook her head and headed upstairs for a shower and bed.
The next morning, Lily woke up late, and she had to rush through her shower and into her clothes.
Then she quickly apparated to the Doctors office.
Right when she walked in, her name was being called.
She rushed in.
After being thoroughly checked over (physical as well as test) and poked and prodded, the doctor walked out and soon returned with her results.
"Eet appears zat you are with child, Mrz. Potter." he said.
Lily squealed and hugged the doctor as hard as she could, then bounced out of the doctor's office and back home.
When James came home, Lily was busy getting dinner on the table.
"Hey Lil. How was your day?" he asked tiredly.
"Wonderful, splendid, lovely, perfect." she said, giggling.
"Mmm hm. And why are you acting so funny, dear?" he asked, amusement clear on his face.
"Ohhhh... no reason." she said, humming.
"Ok then." James said, seating himself at the table across from his wife.
For a few minutes, all that could be heard was the clinking of silverware and the thumps of glasses being put back onto the table.
"Dumbledore wanted to know if you were coming back, and I said that it was really up to you." James said, breaking the silence.
"I thought you didn't want me to go back." Lily said, puzzled.
"Well, I figured that its really up to and not me." he said quietly.
"Well I don't want to go back." she said with a grin.
James looked up, astonished.
"But you said that you loved it."
"And I do." she said, eyes dancing with glee.
"And that makes sense how?" he asked, clearly confused.
"It might endanger my health." she said, now barely containing her laughter and excitement.
"Hmm how so?"
"Well not MY health." she said gleefully.
"What?! You are REALLY messing with my head here Lily." James said, shaking his head.
"I might be putting the baby's life in danger." she said, smiling so hard her mouth hurt.
"Lily...what baby? Are you sure you're ok sweetie? Should we go back to the doctor?" James asked, worry etched on his face.
"No no no no no no. I'm pregnant silly! I found out this morning!" Lily squealed.
James stared at her in shock for a minute before jumping up and taking Lily in his arms.
Lily bounced up and down and James grinned stupidly at her.
"Oh my gosh Lil. That's...that's...perfect, wonderful, the best!" he said, still in awe.
"I know!" Lily replied, looking up at her husband, blissfully happy.
"This time everything is going to be ok, and everything is going to turn out great." James said, totally sure of it.
"I know. I am going to be extra careful and I can't wait to tell everyone!" she exclaimed.
A/N ok so that was a pretty boring part, but EVERYONE wanted Harry to start coming. So there ya go. Next part will be out soon!
When Lily came to, she saw James leaning over her and watching anxiously.
When she opened her eyes, he leaned over and smiled at her.
