There was a loud knock on the door below. James groaned as Lily pulled out
of their rather romantic kiss. Who the hell would be knocking at their door
at 10 pm on a Sunday? "Lily, they can come back later," he whined as Lily
wriggled out of his grasp and headed toward the bedroom door.
Lily walked out of the room pretending not to hear James protests and excessive swearing. She walked towards the front door and turned on a few of the hall lights as she went. Standing outside was Sirius. "Hey, is James there?" he asked peering over Lily's shoulder.
"Yeah, come in," Lily said moving aside so Sirius could step inside. "James! It's Sirius!" she called.
James came down the stairs and into the kitchen where Lily and Sirius were seated at the table. "Hey, what's up?" James asked pulling a chair up to the table next to Sirius.
"It's my brother; he hasn't come back from his trip to visit my grandmother yet. He said that he would be back 2 days ago. I am afraid that something has happened to him," said Sirius.
"I thought that your grandma died in our 5th year," said James.
"Yeah, that is why I am suspicious that he is up to something. He is never around anymore and we aren't that close," said Sirius.
"What does your mother have to say?" asked James.
"I don't even want to bother trying to have a normal conversation with her," said Sirius rubbing his head. "Damn that reminds me; she kind of destroyed the house this morning. Do you think I could spend the night here?" he asked.
James looked over at Lily who nodded. "Of course Sirius, you can have the guest bedroom. Don't mind the mess, we are working on turning it into a nursery," said Lily.
Sirius' expression lightened up a bit. "So did you find out anything about it?"
"Well the baby will have magic powers, it is a girl, and she is due in July sometime," said Lily getting up from the table. "I'll go and get a bed set up."
"No, don't worry, I'll just sleep on the couch," said Sirius.
"Well then I am going to go to sleep," said Lily yawning. "If you need anything, Sirius, don't hesitate to ask."
Lily went upstairs and slipped into the warmest pajamas that she could find. After brushing her teeth she slid underneath the covers. She pulled her arms up behind her head and tried to fall asleep. She heard James stroll in a few minutes later. "I figured you would have stayed up later," she said.
"Nah, Sirius was tired," he said pulling on his pajamas. "Where were we?" he asked smiling as he crawled onto the bed.
Lily laughed and sat up in bed. Before she got a chance to say anything James pulled her back into their previous kiss. Lily inched closer to him and he pulled her onto his lap. She slid her tongue into his mouth and stroked his lightly. James was moving his hands up and down her back and she let out a soft moan.
He slowly lowered himself onto the mountain of pillows. He moved a hand up to the base of Lily's neck and was pleased to find that she was wearing the necklace that he had gotten her for Christmas. It was a diamond heart pendant on a gold chain. From the on looker's point of view it may have seemed like a regular necklace, but if they were to turn it over, they would discover that there were two letters intertwined on the back; and 'L' and a 'J'. The diamonds on the front would change light pink every time that Lily thought about James and light blue every time that James thought about Lily. So, most of the time, the diamonds were light purple.
Except for now.
James had observed that when ever they would get locked in a rather intimate kiss it would turn dark purple. The kiss slowed down a bit and Lily felt James' fingers playing with the curls in her hair. She rolled on her side as she would be sick if she spent another second lying on her stomach. James hands left her hair and wrapped themselves around her waist. Lily busied her hands trying to make his hair lie flat.
James smiled and broke out of the kiss. "It isn't going to lie flat, don't even try."
Lily laughed and sighed. "At least it isn't curly, then it would be a mess," she said grabbing the back of his head to pull him back into the kiss.
A few passionate minutes passed before their lips separated again; Lily had fallen asleep. James was quite perturbed about it. How the hell could she have fallen asleep right in the middle of one of their most intimate kisses? He looked down at her and was about to wake her up when he thought better of it. Lily was smiling and her soft red curls were framing her face making her look like an angel. James was also pleased to see that the heart pendant was still dark purple.
James curled his arms around her waist and put his chin on top of her head. He heard her give off a happy sigh and he held her tighter. He could still feel her lips on his and he slowly drifted off into an untroubled sleep.

Sirius had been staying at the Potter house for about a week and made a point of disrupting any husband-wife moments making James extremely miserable. That morning at breakfast James and Sirius were deep in conversation about Quidditch when the tea cups on the table began to shake. A loud 'boom' echoed across the town. Sirius sighed. "Mum has just blasted me off of the family tree."
James snorted into his breakfast. "So she really hates you then?"
Lily shot James a quick death glare before turning to Sirius with a sympathetic smile on her face. "Sorry to hear it Sirius."
"I'm not! I have been waiting to be blasted off that tree for who knows how long! Finally I can leave the dirty name behind me," he said running his fingers through is hair smiling to himself.
James was also smiling. "Wait to go Padfoot. You have finally succeeded in getting yourself blown off of the family tree! Lily, tell him what he has won!" he said in his very lame announcer voice.
Lily rolled her eyes. "Grow up!"
"Now what kind of prize it that, Lils?" asked James.
"Do I not even get a kiss from the fair princess?" Sirius said looking serious.
Lily smiled. "So, how long have you been trying to get off of your tree?" she asked.
"Come on, just kiss me!"
"Answer the question, it determines the length and type of the kiss," she said deviously.
James jumped at these words. "Well, maybe just knowing that he has been blasted off of the tree should be good enough."
"No, no, I did go through a lot of work to get off. I'd say about 3 years," Sirius smiled.
James looked ready to kill. "Don't..."
It was too late Lily had gotten off of her chair and gave Sirius a swift kiss on the cheek. James looked ready to kill. "James, come on, you have me all of the time," she said smiling.
"Not since he turned up."
"The prize was your idea, Prongs."
"Shut it Padfoot."
A/N- Well this was a less depressing chapter, don't expect the next one to be. I am seeing darker events in the mere future. Well chapter 16 might not be up for a while; I have been very busy lately.
