Author's Note: This is my sixth full story, not counting song fics of course. I'm juggling this, my crossover, and my Ron and Shanon 4, so please be patient. I'm really hoping it'll turn out good. Thanks so much for choosing to read it!
Lily turned the key and pushed the door to her house open with her knee. Her hands were filled with grocery bags and she couldn't grasp the handle. She was having trouble when her husband, James Potter, came around with a baby in his arms, and pushed it open.

Lily smiled.

"Thank you James." She said.

"No problem." He said. He pushed it open the rest of the way and went in after Lily.

Lily walked into the kitchen and set the grocery bags down, sighing and blowing hair out of her face.

"Everything's a mess in this house!" she said angrily, stuffing bread into the bread box. "I can't believe it."

"Ah it looks fine." James said, setting the little baby down in his cradle in the living room. "You do a wonderful job."

"But Sirius and his girlfriend are coming tonight! Don't you want it to look better?" Lily was exasperatingly stuffing groceries away. James glided over to where she was standing and planted a soft kiss on her neck. Lily smiled and turned around and kissed him. Even after Hogwarts, James had remained romantic and sweet. James smiled through the kiss. When he stopped, he turned around and started getting plates out.

"Better get ready!" he said grinning. Lily smiled.

"Yes."

She traced a circle with her hands around the cutting board on the counter, looking at James. He continued his work, but slowly stopped and looked at her.

"What is it?" he said.

"I'm not sure." She walked up and planted a kiss on his forehead. She had to stand on the tips of her toes, but James bent down a bit. He smiled.

"I love you precious." He said quietly. Lily smiled and wrapped her arms around him.

A whine was heard from the living room....and then a cry.....then another. Until finally, baby Harry had began crying loudly. Lily sighed and let her head flop onto James's chest.

"Harry's crying." James said.

"I'll get him." Lily whispered. James nodded and let go.

Lily walked across the floor to the sitting room and lifted Harry from his cradle. She whispered words of comfort as she rocked him back and forth in her arms, shushing and cradling him. James smiled at his wife and his baby and then continued to prepare for Sirius and his girlfriend.

Lily fiddled with the earring on her ear lobe, trying to fit it in the hole annoyingly. She groaned as it slipped through again. James came through from the bathroom, straightening a shirt. He looked at Lily and smiled.

"You look nice." Lily turned around and smiled.

"Do I?" she asked.

"Yes, those are you nicest earrings. Very chic."

Lily laughed and turned back to the mirror. She finally got the other one in, just as the doorbell rang. James pulled his cuffs down.

"I'll get it." He said, walking out the bedroom door. "It's probably Sirius and Mary."

Lily nodded at him and he left, going downstairs to answer the door. She waited till he was gone, then she got up and surveyed herself in the mirror. She turned slowly. She wanted to look perfect. Her dress was long and flowing and the earrings dangled from her ears. She sighed, patted her dress down, and walked downstairs.

Sirius was in the doorway with Mary, his current girlfriend. She slowed down and looked at him. He was tall and strong, handsome, perfect. Lily cleared her throat and smiled at Sirius. He grinned.

"Lily."

"Sirius."

She floated down the stairs and hugged him lightly. Sirius stepped back and looked at her.

"Beautiful!" he said, smiling at James. James grinned.

"Let's go into the sitting room then for some drinks!" Mary and Sirius smiled and began to walk to the back of the house, where Harry could be heard crooning away in his cradle. The four of them laughed. Lily stayed behind and locked the door when she felt a firm hand on her back. She turned. Sirius.

"Sirius, no........"

"You look gorgeous." Lily pulled away from his touch. She looked at his feet.

"Thank you."

"You did it for me, didn't you?"

Lily glared at him.

"I don't know what your talking about." She said angrily. She walked past him briskly, but as she walked past she felt his hand trail her ass.

"Sirius." She said sternly, not turning around. He pretended not to hear. He walked right past her into the sitting room.

Mary and James were already there, observing Harry adoringly.

"You're baby is too sweet!" Mary said, stroking Harry's head. Lily smiled.

"Thank you. He loves attention." Lily crossed over and kneeled down in front of Harry, and stroked his perfectly smooth forehead. At this, Sirius felt a pang in his heart. But it was gone in a second, and he too kneeled down and grinned at his godson.

"He's a good boy!" he said. James smiled at him.

"Ah you're lucky to have Sirius for a godfather!" James said to his son, patting his hair down. Everyone laughed and then got up to sit on the couches.

"Drinks anyone?" James said, clapping his hands. Sirius and Mary both asked for wine, and Lily wanted a scotch. James proceeded into the kitchen. Lily smiled and struck up a conversation.

"How has your work with the ministry been Sirius?"

"Oh fine fine." He leaned forward and clasped his hands together. "In fact that's how I met Mary here." He indicated towards her, and she smiled warmly.

"I guess you could say it was love at first sight." Sirius continued, staring at Lily. She looked at him. "We're very happy together. She moved in with me you know."

You're mocking me...........you stupid bastard.........

"That's lovely!" Lily faked a smile, and Mary grinned.

"Yes, you were very lucky to know Sirius in school Lily!" Mary said. Lily tried to return it, but felt her chest swelling.

I'm going to.........

"Yes, and I was lucky to know Lily." Sirius looked at her intently. Lily looked back at him.

"Were you?" she said, smiling coldly.

"Yes." He said, speaking more slowly. "Very lucky..........Lily flower."

Lily glared and was about to stand up to leave when James walked in.

"Drinks!" he said cheerfully. Lily was still glaring at Sirius, but James didn't notice. He handed Sirius his drink, and Sirius smiled at Lily as she received hers.

"Cheers." He said, tipping his drink to her. Lily did not return the gesture. But she felt her chest thumping, her heart burning............for him.
