Flirting and Teasing
"Whoah" said James as Lily grabbed him by his collar and pulled him into her room.
"Shhh" she giggled, "Don't wake the baby"
"Wouldn't dream of it, love" he whispered softly into her ear, sending shivers down her spine
"Don't get any ideas" said Lily.
James pouted and put on his best puppy dog eyes.
"Don't" she warned, he knew she couldn't resist those puppy eyes
"Aww come on, you know you'll give in" he said
"Not this time. Anyway, Harry's cuter than you" she teased
"Traded me in for a younger model"
"Yup" said Lily, "Come on, the couch is uncomfortable"
"I dunno, I was pretty comfortable"
"Well, I'm sure you'll be just as comfortable up here"
"I'm sure I will" said James, leaning in closer to Lily's face, desperate to kiss her beautiful lips
"Well, I don't like sleeping in my clothes. So turn round while I change"
"What? Lily, I've seen you naked a thousand times"
"Well, you're not seeing now. Turn" she ordered
And like a good little boy James turned away, and almost laughed out loud, he turned to face full length mirror, he could see everything. He watched as she changed into a nice short nightie, it wasn't the little silky ones she used to wear, but it also wasn't those blasted Flannel pyjamas.
"James, do you think I'm an idiot? I can see you watching" said Lily pulling her hair out of the ponytail it was in and shaking it so it hung over her shoulders.
"I am shocked you would accuse me of such a thing" said James
"Oh really" said Lily walking up so close to him their faces were almost touching, she was leaning in to kiss him when he turned his head and whispered into her ear.
"You did look amazing though, better than I remembered"
"Thanks to Harry and Yoga" she said
"Yoga, who the hell is Yoga?" he said slightly angry but mostly scared
Lily burst out laughing.
"What is so funny? Who is Yoga?"
"Oh James you're hilarious, Yoga is muggle exercise" laughed Lily
"What?" said James furrowing his brow in confusion
"As in what I did to get back in shape after having Harry"
"Oh well in that case" he said putting his hand on her waist, "I am definitely a fan"
"Oh come on I'm tired" she said rolling her eyes.
"You're a tease you know that"
"You're as hard as a rock, did you know that?" replied Lily sweetly
"Yes I had noticed. What did you expect getting all naked and trying to stop me watching? Makes you all the more enticing"
"Maybe this might help" said Lily then she threw her flannel pyjamas at him
"Ugh, I hated those pyjamas" he said
"Why was that?" asked Lily, even though she knew why
"Because that always meant you had a headache. I never once got to take these damn things off" said James as he climbed into bed with Lily, he reached over and turned off the light.
As soon as he turned out the light he felt Lily snuggle into him, resting her head on his now bare chest.
"Hey, what's wrong with your side?" he teased
"Lumpy pillows" she mumbled
"We could switch" he said wanting to see how she would react
"No, you're a guest you shouldn't have to sleep on lumpy pillows"
"I wouldn't mind"
"Shut up" she said then she sat up and took James by surprise by kissing him. It wasn't a fierce passionate kiss, but a short and sweet one.
"Happy now?" said Lily, lying back down on his chest
"I suppose" he said with a huge smile on his face
"Good, now you better shut up, or so help me I'll..."
"Violate my sexual being"
"No, I'll do something that will ensure Harry will be the only child you will ever be able to have"
"Okay, shutting up now"
-------------------------------
The next morning Lily woke up, alone. Confused, she looked at the clock and almost jumped out of bed, 11:30, why hadn't Harry woken up yet. Lily was about to start panicking when she heard a squeal of delight from downstairs, it was Harry, followed by the laugh that was unmistakeably James. Relaxing a little Lily got dressed and used the bathroom, then she went down stairs.
She went into the living room and was shocked by what she saw. James had somehow, conjured little flying broomstick with peole on them... Wait it was a full blown Quidditch match going on in her living room, (Not a real life size one, but it was big enough). Lily was just about to angrily demand an explanation, when she saw Harry sitting in James' knee, squealing in delight clapping his little hands. And James laughing and talking softly to Harry, trying to explain what was happening, but he just looked so proud and so happy, that Lily didn't have the heart to even pretend she was angry.
She watched them both for a few minutes, they hadn't even noticed she was in the room. So she sat down on the sofa next to them.
"So, what's goin on down here and why wasn't I invited?" she asked
"Lily. Oh sorry, I was just gonna show him a picture and then... I-I'll get rid of it" stuttered James talking about the Quidditch game going on.
"It's alright" laughed Lily, "Look at how much he's enjoying it"
"Yeah he loves it, he seems particularly fascinated by the snitch. I think we've got the second generation of Potter seeker's here"
"Looks like it. Why didn't he cry for food?" asked Lily, she knew Harry was not a baby that could wait for food.
"Oh I uh gave him the bottle that was in the fridge, I thought you could use the long lie, was that okay?"
"Yeah, that's fine I was trying to wean him onto bottle anyway. Did he take it alright, normally he fusses?"
"He was fine. It was probably because he knew, that Daddy doesn't have the same equipment as Mummy does" he said as he made the Quidditch game disappear. Harry looked up at his parents, and pouted because the game was gone.
"Aww he is cuter than me, when he does that" said James
"Told you" said Lily, "Have you had breakfast?"
"No"
"I'll go make some" said Lily then she went into the kitchen.
Ten minutes later James and Lily were in the kitchen having breakfast, while Harry was in electrical baby swing.
"This is really nice, Lils" said James
"It's only bacon sandwiches" said Lily
"That's not what I meant, although they are rather nice as well" said James, "I meant this, us here with Harry"
"I know, it is nice"
"You're beautiful in the morning"
"What? As apposed to the afternoon when I look like a troll"
"No" laughed James, "You're beautiful in the morning, gorgeous in the afternoon, breathtaking in the evening and at night you're..."
"Don't finish that sentence our son is in the room"
"So... how do you think he got here?"
"Oh I know how he got here." said Lily, "Bloodly painful"
"Tell me about it"
"Tell you about, what?"
"His birth"
"Really, it's not a pleasant topic"
"Still I wanna know everything I missed. Don't leave anything out"
"Okay..."
