A NEW ARRIVAL
Standing just in side the doorway James thought What ever I have done to deserve Lily I will never know he slowly made his way over to the bed and gently sat down. Lily turned over at this point and snuggled closer to him making James sigh God she is beautiful…This must be what Love is…being happy to just sit and watch someone sleep
Eyes fluttering open Lily focused her sleeping brain and realised that she was not alone. Reaching out her hand she lay it on top of James' "How long have you been sat there?"
Squeezing her hand he smiled "Not long enough" and he leaned down placing a soft kiss on the end of her nose "Unfortunately mum sent me to tell you that breakfast is ready". James watched as she stretched like a cat and gave a yawn.
"Ok I'm getting up…give me a minute and I'll get dressed" throwing the quilt back and starting to swing her legs out of bed.
Standing up James allowed his eyes to travel the length of her slender legs and said "Don't need to get dressed…It's only breakfast pyjamas will do" smiling at her "Come on I'm starving" and he pulled her towards the door.
The pair wandered down to the dining room holding hands. Lily ran her hand over her pyjamas wishing she hadn't brought shorty pyjamas with her and hoped Mrs Potter wouldn't mind.
Going into the dining room to a round of good mornings Lily and James helped them selves to bacon, sausage and eggs from the buffet. Once seated they helped themselves to pumpkin juice and tucked into the food.
Mrs Potter smiled to her self and thought This girl really is beautiful…even first thing in the morning…those pyjamas are so cute. "Did you sleep well Lily?"
Smiling Lily nodded "Yes thank you…Its such a beautiful room"
"What do you plan to do today James?" His father asked
But before James could answer a plea for help was heard from the living room. Mrs Potter left the dining room and returned a moment later.
"Molly Weasley has gone into Labour" she announced "Would you two like to come and help me?" she asked
"What can we do me?" James asked looking a little twitchy
"Well you could play with their little boy's?…Help to keep Arthur calm" she suggested and was pleased to see Lily nod.
"Sure we would love to help Mrs Potter…Come on James" and Lily grabbed hold of James and started to drag him out of the room.
Shouting after them Mrs Potter said, "You've got 10 minutes so hurry up" and followed them out of the door to collect together her things.
************************************************************
Stood in front of the fireplace in the living room Mrs Potter checked that she had everything she would need. Smiling at them "Are you two ready?"
Both teenagers nodded and Lily asked "How long have you been a midwife Mrs Potter?"
"Oh about 20 years" and she handed James a bag to carry "Ok…As you step in shout 'The Burrow'…I'll go first…See you in a minute" and with that she disappeared.
James and Lily found them selves stepping into a small kitchen and looked for Mrs Potter. In the middle of the room was a wooden table and sat on one of the chairs was a worried looking man. He was holding a squirming child and trying to get him to eat breakfast, next to him sat another little boy all three of them had bright red hair.
Looking up at the people stepping out of the fireplace "Hello…I am very glad to see you…Molly is upstairs" and he stood up balancing the child on his hip.
Lily moved over to Mr Weasley "Hello…Why don't you give this little fellow to me" and before he could answer she was already taking the child out of his arms.
Mrs Potter spoke "Arthur this is my son James and his girlfriend Lily…I thought they could look after Bill and Charlie while we sort out Molly" watching Arthur nod "Well lead the way" and she nudged Arthur.
Watching the two adults disappear down a narrow hallway Lily turned to her little charge "Hello you two I'm Lily and this is James" and she smiled at the little boy's with bright red hair "How about we finish breakfast and then go outside and play?"
Lily sat down on the chair that Mr Weasley had vacated, picking up a spoon she tasted the porridge that he had been feeding the child. Pulling her face she said to James "No wonder he didn't want to eat this" and with a swish and a flick of her wand she added some more milk and sugar. Stirring the mixture up she smiled and put a small amount on the spoon and gave it to the little boy sitting on her knee.
It wasn't long before all the porridge had been eaten and Lily was wiping the little boy with a cloth. Standing him up on her knee she smiled at him. "Would you like to go and play"
Holding her hands he bounced up and down "Liwly and Jawmes play". The two teenagers smiled at Charlie Weasley and James picked him up and they went outside. Lily held her hand out towards Bill "Are you going to come and play as well Bill?" and smiled as the little boy took hold of her hand. Walking outside she said, "So how old are you and Charlie?"
Smiling up at her he said "I'm 5 and Charlie is 4…Have you got any kids?"
"No Bill not yet…come on lets go and get James and Charlie" and she whisked the little boy up under her arms and ran after James.
As Lily caught up to James he said, "What do we do now?" James had not had much to do with children and was at a loss. Lily laughed at the nervous look James gave her.
Lily sat down near Bill and Charlie and motioned for James to do the same. At this Bill came over to them and jumped on Lily's knee and she let her self-fall backward pulling him with her. Bill chuckled and Lily began tickling him, which made him squirm and laugh harder. Raising back up she set Bill back on the grass and said to him "Want to play rough do you?" and she stood up and began to chase the little boy around the garden. Catching him occasionally and tickling him, James sat and watched her play with Bill and thought One day this will be us…playing in the garden with our own son…Oh my God…Did I just think about having children with Lily. At this he decided not to think any more and went after Charlie who was chasing after Lily and Bill, catching Charlie under the arms James swung him around and was pleased to hear the little boy squeal with delight.
Lily sat down on the grass and watched as James started to chase the little boy's around the garden, swinging one and then the other into the air. Lily and James played in the garden until lunchtime, when Lily announced that it was time to go in. Both little boys's pulled faces but James said, "I've got an idea…If you two eat up all your lunch we will take you flying"
Bill and Charlie started to jump up and down with excitement and pulled the two teenagers into the house. Lily decided to make everyone some sandwiches and James sat the two little boys down at the table and poured them a glass of milk each.
Going over to Lily he said "I'll not be a minute…I'll just nip back home and get us some brooms for after lunch…Think you can manage" and he gave her a wicked grin.
"Yes Potter I think I will manage…But hurry up!" she said as he kissed her on the cheek and she watched him disappear into the fireplace. Within 10 minutes he was walking back into the kitchen saying "I hope you have saved a sandwich for me?"
Lily called up stairs to see if they would like any lunch and hearing the shout of "Yes please" she made up a tray of tea and sandwiches. Leaving James to supervise the eating of lunch in the kitchen Lily headed up stairs with the tray. Knocking on the door see pushed it open slowly. Mr Weasley met her at the door and took the tray from her.
"Thanks for this" he said and she just smiled at him
Molly Weasley looked over at the girl "Hope my boy's are being good?"
Lily nodded at the stressed looking young women "Yes they are lovely…we are enjoying playing with them…I'd better go back down" and she quickly vacated the room heading back to the kitchen.
Walking into the kitchen Lily chuckled at the sight that met her James looked so at home sat eating sandwiches with the two little boys. Sliding into a chair next to Charlie Lily realised that she was starving and quickly tucked into the cheese sandwiches.
With all the food eaten James looked up at Lily "Well are you ready?"
Laughing Lily said, "Who wants to go flying?" and was immediately deafened by the shouts of "Me" from the two excited children.
Lily and James spent the rest of the afternoon flying around the garden each holding on tight to a delighted child. As the light started to fail Lily motion to James that it was time to head in. Going back into the kitchen Lily made tea for the two boys. Once they had finished eating Lily took them into the sitting room to find James already sitting comfortably on the sofa.
Looking at them she said "How about we all sit on the sofa and I'll tell you a story"
Lily sat next to James and pulled Charlie on to her knee, Bill followed this and climbed onto James lap. Putting her arms around Charlie and cuddling him Lily started to tell them the story of 'The Three Billy Goats Gruff" (A/N: My 4-year-old loves this story, especially if you do scary voices). It wasn't long before Lily realised that she was talking to her self, as the other three were fast asleep. Smiling she leant against James and soon dropped off.
Opening her eyes Lily discovered that it was now dark in the sitting room and then she noticed Mrs Potter. As Lily was about to speak Mrs Potter put her finger to her lips and helped to ease Charlie off her lap and settled him down next to James.
Lily followed Mrs Potter into the Kitchen and was grateful for the cup of tea that was waiting for her.
Sitting at the table and having a sip she said, "Has Mrs Weasley had the baby yet?"
Mrs Potter now sitting opposite Lily smiled "Yes…another little boy…He looks just like Arthur" and she chuckled "Both of them are fine and doing well…Arthur is up there with them"
It wasn't long before James appeared in the kitchen carrying Charlie under one arm and holding Bills hand with the other, both women looked up and smiled at the sight of the teenager. James slipped into a chair near Lily and smiled "Any chance of a cup?"
Mrs Potter poured a cup of tea for James, then pulled Bill onto her knee giving him a drink of pumpkin juice and Lily moved to take Charlie off him but James said, "It's alright…Leave him" catching the amused look on his mothers face he said "What?"
Smiling at her son all she could say was "Nothing" and continued to watch as her son balanced the small child on his lap, holding him tight with one arm and drinking his tea.
A rather relieved Mr Weasley entered the kitchen and smiled at the little group who was gathered around the table. "I just wanted to say thank you to all of you for being here today" sitting down he accepted a cup of tea from Mrs Potter. "Molly would like to see Bill and Charlie"
Smiling at him Lily said "If it's ok James and I can take them up while you finish your tea and have a sit down for a moment"
"Thank you…I think that would be great…It's the room at the top of the stairs and just to the left"
Getting up James followed Lily down the narrow hallway and headed up the uneven stairs. Knocking on the slightly ajar door they entered and smiled at the young women sat in the bed holding a sleeping baby.
"Hello Mrs Weasley…this is James" Lily said as they moved closer to the bed. Bill and Charlie went to sit on their mother's bed and look at their new baby brother.
Molly gave the two teenagers a weary smile "Thank you for looking after Bill and Charlie …I hope they were no trouble?"
James answered "No…It was our pleasure…We loved playing with them"
Running her hand over each of the little boy's faces "Look Boys this is your new brother Percy" and she turned the baby around so that they could see him.
At that moment Mrs Potter walked into the room and said "Well Molly I think we had better get going…I'll call in tomorrow to see how you are doing…Are you two ready?"
Nodding at her Lily bent down and kissed Bill and then Charlie on the forehead "Congratulations Mrs Weasley…Bye you two". James followed her lead and did the same.
Bill looked up at them "Come play again"
Lily smiled "Mrs Weasley if you ever need a baby sitter in the summer, just get in touch"
"Thanks for the offer…By summer I'll probably need it…Thank you again"
*************************************************************
Stepping back into the living room at Archers lodge James asked, "What time is it?"
Looking at the clock on the mantle piece Mrs Potter said "Almost dinnertime…Why don't you two go and get cleaned up and I'll check on dinner".
It wasn't long before they were all assembled around the dining table happily tucking into a delicious meal. Mr Potter asked "How did it go?…Are mother and baby both ok?
"Yes darling…Molly and the baby are fine" Looking at Lily and James "I just want to say that you two were great today…Thank you for coming with me"
Swallowing a mouthful of food Lily said, "It was our pleasure…Bill and Charlie are really cute" and chuckling she said "We enjoyed playing with them…Didn't we James"
James nodded "Yeah…It was fun"
The remainder of dinner went smoothly and it wasn't long before everyone was heading for bed. Lily stood in her room and started to pack her things ready for the return to Jeanne's tomorrow. Getting into bed Lily snuggled down and drifted to sleep thinking about how much she wanted to be part of this family forever.
************************************************************
Wandering down the corridor James knocked on Lily's door and pushed it open but found it empty. Going down to the dining room he found his girlfriend sat eating breakfast with his mother.
"Good morning lovely ladies…Hope you have left some for me?" and he went over to the buffet and helped him self.
As James sat down he smiled as Lily handed him a glass of pumpkin juice. Watching the two teenagers Mrs Potter smiled "I hope you have enjoyed your stay Lily"
"Oh yes I have…I'm sorry to be leaving…It is really nice here…thank you for inviting me" and she got up and went over to give Mrs Potter a kiss on the cheek.
As Lily sat back down Mrs Potter continued "Thank you dear" pausing for a second she continued "James told me about your parents and I just wanted to say I am sorry and that you are welcome to spend the summer here with us"
At this James looked from his mother to Lily nervously but was relieved when Lily said "Thanks Mrs Potter I would love to come for summer…But I need to check what my friend is doing first?"
Mrs Potter looked a little confused and James said "Mum…Aggy's parents were killed at the same time as Lily's"
"Oh yes I remember now…Well if Aggy would like she would also be welcome to come and stay" Mrs Potter was pleased at the effect this had on the faces of the two teenagers and smiled at them. "Oh I almost forgot we got an owl from your friend Jeanne this morning"
Before Mrs Potter could continue Lily said "Is everything ok?"
"Yes…She just wanted to ask if James would like to stay over in London for a few days with you…and she would put the two of you back on the train on Wednesday…She mentioned something about James being invited to go training with you"
James simply said "Cool" and then "So is it alright if I go Mum" smiling at her.
Laughing she thought Just like his father…Flash her a smile and the worlds you oyster "Yes darling I have already sent an owl back thanking her for the offer and telling her to expect the two of you just before lunch"
Finishing breakfast Lily and James headed back up stairs to get dressed and ready for the trip back to London.
