"Lils, you should really go and see a doctor," said James holding back Lily's soft red hair as she leaned over the toilet. This had been going on for the past 4 days. "Just go today! I can handle making the snacks for the meeting tonight," James pleaded.

Lily sat up and wiped her mouth on her pajama sleeve as she flushed the breakfast she had eaten an hour ago down the toilet. For once in her life she had to admit that James had a good point. Lily had lost her appetite and had been getting sick quite often. "Maybe your right, I'll go to Mungo's," she said. Lily showered, got dressed, and said good bye to James as she disappeared in the flames of the fire place.

Now James was all alone in the house with the daunting task of preparing snacks for the evening's meeting. He had no idea when Lily would be back. Was Friday a busy day at Mungo's? James got out Lily's list and picked out the easiest item to make, cheese cubes. He walked over to the fridge and retrieved the block of yellow cheese and set it on the cutting board. James pulled the curtains closed on the kitchen window and pulled out his wand to magically cut the cheese into even pieces.

Two hours later as precisely one pm James heard someone arrive in the fire place. He looked over the snack list and was happy to have completed three out of the four items on the list. Lily would be pleased with his progress. James went into the living room to greet her and found her sitting on the couch with an expression of pure joy and shock on her face. She looked over at him.

"So what did the doctor say?" asked James.

"Luckily the loss of appetite and vomiting are normal for people like me," she said. Lily saw his puzzled expression and motioned for him to sit down next to her. She grabbed both of his hands and sighed. "To put it bluntly James," she paused drawing in another deep breath and slowly let it out. "You're going to be a father."

James sat expressionless on the couch letting her words sink in. He was going to be a father. He put his hands up to his head and a smile came over his face. James flung his arms around Lily taking her by surprise. He felt tears of joy rolling down his face as he kissed Lily.

Lily felt James pick her up off of the couch and she locked her arms tightly around his neck, still locked in his kiss. They pulled away and laughed. Never, not in a million years, had they ever dreamed they could be this happy. At Hogwarts they never got along and now they were going to be parents.

James lowered Lily to the floor and pulled her into another kiss. They let all of their joy and love be un leashed in this single kiss. They stood, lost in time, as the world went on without them. Lily started laughing again as they broke apart. She kept her arms on his shoulders and leaned her head under his chin. "Did you make any of the snacks on the list?" she whispered.

"Three of them, I left the cookies for you," he replied.

Lily led him into the kitchen. "Come on, we'll make them together," she smiled.

James followed her into the kitchen as the shock slowly wore off. He was sure that right now he was the happiest person on the face of the earth. He listened to all of Lily's directions and by the end of the hour he knew all of the secrets that went into her cookies.

They ate dinner at five, giving them two hours to prepare for the meeting. "So are we going to tell everyone at the meeting about or news?" James asked as they sat on the couch holding hands.

"I think we had better wait for a month or so, just to be sure," said Lily.

"What do you mean just to be sure?" James asked.

Lily shrugged. "You never know with babies, let's just keep quiet and hope for the best," she said.

James kissed Lily sincerely hoping that nothing was going to go wrong. "Nothing is going to go wrong," he whispered to her, pulling out of the kiss for a slight second.

Lily smiled and relaxed into his shoulder closing her eyes. She was full of joy and wonder. She couldn't help but wonder what was in store for James and her as she sat contently lapsing into her own little world.

A/N This was a very short chapter, but I wanted to post something so here it is! Chapter ten will hopefully be longer, depends on how much homework my stupid teachers give me! Lol!
