"James," Lily started. She decided now was a good time.. The humming had stopped, at least.
"James... I... I'm going... We... We are going to..." She lifted her head so she could look into his eyes. Here it goes, she thought. "We're going to have a baby!" She beamed wildly, and gazed at her husband, expectantly awaiting a response.
It took a long moment for James to completely register what his wife had just told him, during which he stared at her blankly. Baby? Did she say? B-a-b-y? Father? Me!? Bloody hell... a... a baby! "BABY! Baby!? Lily! Holy... Lily are you serious? You're pregnant?" He finally exclaimed, his face slowly forming into a broad grin, awaiting her answer, although he knew perfectly well she wouldn't have been joking about something as important as a baby...
[A/N: I give you a cookie if you can count how many times I used the word 'baby'!]
Lily nodded. In one swift movement, James lifted her off the ground and into a big hug, twirling her around and around, laughing. He was so happy. He'd never felt this happy in all his life. He was going to be a Dad!
He set Lily down, firmly on the ground, yet gently, as she was now accompanied by the second person he would soon love more than anything in the world. He kept her in his arms, however, and pulled her close, nestling his chin in her fiery red hair for a brief moment before she pulled away to look at him once more. She had tears in her eyes, but she was still smiling. And how beautiful she looked, he thought.
"James- It's a boy... Healer Thomas told me when I went to get it checked out last week... You know, because I was "vomiting my insides out" every morning... He's coming in July." She gave a half laugh, half sob, and wiped her tears away with a shaking hand.
"A son... Oh, Lily.. This is the most wonderful... The happiest I've ever been! I love you so much!" James whispered, and he leaned down planted his lips on hers, in a deep, passionate kiss.
And when he finally pulled back slowly, he took her hand, and began to lead her back up the path to the house.
Lily stood dumbstruck for a moment, still lost in the unexpected kiss. She couldn't believe how happy she felt. She stopped abruptly, and James turned to look at her.
"What?" he asked her, a devilish grin appearing on his face.
"Turn around." Lily requested, laughing. James obeyed, and slowly turned, eyeing her suspiciously.
She gave a great leap, and landed in perfect piggy-back position on James's back. She wrapped her arms loosely around his neck, and buried her face in the untidy black hair their son would be sure to inherit. He gave a small "Ooof!" of surprise and then wrapped his arms around her knees, and took off at a run up the hill, towards the brightly lit house, which, James now realized, was the perfect size for 3 people.
[A/N: Sorry it's so short! I'm sick you know.. I'm still formulating the plot... I want incorporate some kind of journal thing James keeps during the pregnancy, and maybe flash to present day and Harry somehow finds the journal.. which includes some crazy moving pictures from each month and Lily keeps getting fatter... Hahaa.. These are just ideas though.. I'll find a way.. review?]
