Chapter four
The healer came out of the birthing suite that Lilly was in.
"Mr. Potter?" The healer said, addressing the three men standing in the hallway. James stood and looked nervously at the healer.
"Is she all right?" he asked. The healer smiled warmly at James.
"Not to worry, she still has a ways to go, but she is doing just fine." James was pleased with this information. His smile turned to a frown as he heard Lilly scream. The healer held up her hand to stop James from going in to the room.
"We have everything taken care of Mr. Potter." "I just thought I would come out here and tell you that your wife was all right." The healer smiled at James before going back into the room. James stared at the door. Good I love her, James thought to himself. James smiled as his mind wondered back to the time when he per posed to Lilly.
James paced around the room nervously. He couldn't believe that tonight was the night. He was going to ask Lilly Evans, the most beautiful woman alive, to be the next Mrs. Potter. He had everything planned. He hoped that everything would work out all right. James glanced over to the entrance of the girl's staircase where Lilly was coming down, her hair tied on top of her head.
"Are you ready?" James asked, walking over and taking her hand to kiss it gently. Lilly's face turned a beautiful shade of red as she smiled up at him.
"I still want to know where we are going Mr. Potter." James smiled and led her from the room.
"You shall soon see my dear, he said. The couple walked out into the moonlit evening, there eyes fixed on the starry sky up above.
James led Lilly to a spot by the lake where a picnic was already prepared for them. Candles were lit, making the twinkling stars seem even more dazzling.
"What is this for?" Lilly asked, her mouth falling open. James thought about what had been going on lately. He hadn't exactly been in Lilly's good graces ever since he almost got expelled for trying to set Snivellous's robes on fire. He chuckled to himself and smiled warmly at Lilly.
"I did this because I love you," he said, sitting on the blanket and pulling her down to sit next to him. She smiled at him, her face lighting up.
"I love you to," she said. James thought this was as good of a time as any. He reached into his pocket and pulled out the small box which held his mothers wedding ring. He took Lilly's hand in his and smiled at her as he opened the box. Inside the box sat a shining diamond ring surrounded by emeralds. Lilly's mouth dropped open in shock, as tears filled her eyes.
"Will you marry me?" James asked nervously. His heart was thumping loudly in his chest. Lilly began to cry as she continued to stare at the ring.
"I suppose I'll have to," Lilly said, her eyes sparkling. "I love you, and I can't live without you, even if I do get tired of your pranks." "There apart of you, and your apart of me." James took the ring from the box and placed it on her finger. Lilly leaned over and kissed James, wrapping her arms around his neck. James pulled her into his lap, they sat that way for a long time, listening to the sounds of the night, and enjoying just being together.
