James took Lily and showed her all that he had done while she was asleep. While he was out, he had bought her some new clothes, and then he showed her the baby's room. She practically cried when she saw how James had perfectly done it. She particularly enjoyed the rocking chair and books he had bought. Without thinking, Lily kissed him long and hard on the lips. It was the first time she had ever willingly done it, and the first sign of wanting to date him since he had danced with her in the bedroom. Breaking apart, James stared at her for a while.
"Lily Evans, would you go out with me?" he asked her.
"Uh- huh." It was all Lily could say as she nodded her head.
Laughing with elatedness at the fact the Lily had finally said yes to him, he kissed her quick and sat down in the chair.
"Hey Lil? What do you think of the names Luna or Dawn?
Lily thought them over. " I think they are beautiful." She flashed him a megawatt smile.
Lily laughed to at the look of silliness on his face, and left to go tell Roxxi and Lexi all about it.
Roxxi and Lexi listened in wide eye wonderment as they had a girls night in. They were a wonderful audience, gasping in all the right places and awing at the sweet things James had done.
"So Lil, you finally succumbed to Potter." sighed Lexi as she painted her toenails a shocking pink.
"Lex, weren't you listening? Even Sirius would go out with him!"Roxxi laughed.
"Beside Lexi, admit it! You've spent a few nights with him!" giggled Lily.
"So what are you guys naming your baby? Sirius said Bugger for a boy. I hope to God he wasn't actually thinking we would do that. Then again he had just remembered he had a potions essay due tomorrow. But I thought that Lain would be nice for a girl." Roxxi offered.
"I like Lain it's pretty. I thought Brandon for a boy and Vanessa for a girl. What about you Lily? Any suggestions?" asked Lexi.
"Well James said Dawn or Luna for a girl, which I do really like. Then if it's a boy, Adam or Harry." She considered it.
"Lily Evans Potter. I think it sounds lovely." Her smile turned into a frown when she realized she had said that out loud.
"Lily Amanda Evans what did you just say?" said Roxxi in a deadly whisper.
"It was for the baby. You know Billy Evans Potter. For a boy." Covered Lily.
Roxxi was about to open her mouth to say something, but her words turned to a scream. Her belly was expanding, and so were Lily's and Lexi's.
"Umm think we are definitely pregnant now." Laughed Lily as she looked at Roxxi, who was horrified at how her baggy pajamas were very tight at the tummy.
The girls then fell asleep on their backs laughing into the night.
It was the last day of her pregnancy, and she had just arrived at breakfast Lily noticed that all the girls in her year were wobbling slightly, some bent over. Joining a shocked group of Marauders at the Gryffindor table, she soon heard what most of the noise in the Great Hall was coming from.
"You bloody boy! What the hell gives you the right to call me a fat duck?" Lexi's anger was running high at Sirius today.
"I'm sorry I didn't think you would be listening. I was talking to Moony you were supposed to be sleeping!"
"WHY THE HELL DID YOU SAY IT IN THE FIRST PLACE?" Lexi was looking positively murderous, and Sirius got the hint to shut up.
"Oh hey Lil how are you?"Roxxi smiled, looking positively delighted that Lexi had finally put Black in his place.
"I'm good. I have my appointment today. I can't wait to find out if I'm having a boy or a girl! Even more so to finally get this belly off of me."
"I have mine right after this, and Lex is after me. What time is yours?" asked Roxxi breathlessly.
"9:30. I'm nervous about it."
Soon breakfast was done, and the group trudged up the stairs to the room. Roxxi and Lupin were called in first. They entered, but didn't come out. Lexi and Black entered to, still bickering, Lexi occasionally smacking Black. They didn't come out either. Finally it was Lily and James's turn. She had never been so scared in her life as she entered the room. Madam Pomfrey and Dumbledore were there. A silver bed was in one corner along with a washtub and a bassinet, a bucket of blankets, and some baby clothes. There was another door leading out of the room.
"Hello Ms. Evans. Nice to see you this fine day. Now could you please sit down on this table and we will down size your stomach quite considerably.
Lily lay down, and as Dumbledore pointed his wand at her stomach, pain shot through her whole body.
"Oh my bloody God what the hell is worth this?" she screamed, grabbing James's hand. He instantly lost feeling in his fingers from her dragon grip.
"Lots of things Ms. Evans. Especially a child. Or two in your case." Dumbledore replied.
Lily stopped screaming and James's mouth dropped in shock.
"Two? As in twins?" Lily stammered, and then came out of her shock." You mean I have to do this TWO BLOODY TIMES?" her voice rising as pain shot throughout her body, and suddenly ended. Her stomach was flat, and Madam Pomfrey held two little bundles in her arms.
"I think those two times are worth it." she said smiling, and hand one to Lily and one to James.
They were identical twin girls. They had black hair that was lightened with bits of red. Their eyes were a bright emerald green, and Lily nearly cried at how happy they made her. She looked over at James, who she laughed to see, was actually crying as he held his tiny daughter.
"Do we have names yet?" Dumbledore asked softly. He had never seen two happier students, or such a changed James.
"Luna and Dawn. Luna and Dawn Potter." Lily said, and James leaned over and kissed her forehead.
"Beautiful. I really hate to break up the moment, but I think your friends will be quite interested in knowing how you two fared." With that Dumbledore escorted them out of the room.
"They really would make a perfect family wouldn't they Madam Pomfrey." Dumbledore whispered.
