He Signs

That night Lily woke up after having another nightmare. She crept into James' room and crawled into bed with him.

He was sleeping on the opposite side of the bed, she wanted to snuggle up close to him, to be near him. She shifted closer to him and he moved further away, she scooted closer again and again he moved away.

"You're going to fall off soon" she whispered, unsure of whether he was awake or not.

"I thought you were sleepwalking again" he said quietly.

"I'm not, I'm wide awake"

"Did you have another nightmare?" he asked turning to face her.

"uh huh. Please don't pull away" she said lying closer to him.

"You sure?"

"Uh huh" said Lily snuggling into his chest.

James certainly wasn't going to put up a fight he had ached to feel her against him for so long, and now that she was finally there he was going to treasure every second she was with him, even if it was only for one night. But eventually James fell asleep.

When James woke up the next morning, Lily had already gone to work, which wasn't unusual she always went into work early. He got up and went down to the kitchen and got a shock when he saw his mother-in-law.

"Laura, hi, how are you?" said James pleasantly fully aware that she had always hated him.

"Not that great James. Why won't you divorce my daughter?" said Mrs Evans.

James almost choked on his coffee, he hadn't expected her to be so blunt.

"I uh think thats between me and Lily" said James.

"Well, I don't. Don't you think you've destroyed her life enough, just let her be"

"I can't do that. I love her. She's carrying my baby" said James.

"Yes, well that may not be an issue for much longer, she's barely 3 months gone, still plently of time for her to get her life back. All you have to do is sign the papers. I'll do the rest'

"Y-you can't. She-she wouldn't" said James terrified at the thought.

"With some gentle persuasion I think she will"

"You evil..." started James,

"You don't know. You have no idea what you did to her do you?" said Lily's mother viciously.

James stayed silent.

"She was devastated. I had to put my baby girl back together, you broke her, shattered her into tiny pieces. She cried her heart out for 3 days, she wouldn't eat or sleep, she just sobbed in the dark. Do the right thing and let her go" said Mrs Evans putting the divorce papers onto the table in front of James.

"Where did you...Did Lily?"

"No, I took them from her bag, when I went to visit her in hospital. Now sign them" she ordered.

"No, I can't I love her"

"If you love her, you'll want her to be happy"

"Of course I do"

"Then sign"

"No I can't, I won't"

"You know the night she saw you with that other woman, I had to talk her down from the roof, she was up there in the freezing cold, sobbing, ready to jump, ready to end her life"

James felt his eyes fill up just at the thought of that and how distraught Lily would have to be to even think about that.

"Let her go, set her free. Do you want to drag her down to that again and the baby as well" continued Mrs Evans.

James couldn't think, he was still in shock that Lily had wanted to kill herself, all because of him and how much, he had hurt her.

"Do the right thing, if you love her, you'll save her" urged Mrs Evans.

James picked up the pen and quickly scrawled his name on the papers.

Mrs Evans picked up the documents and rolled them up and gave them to the owl waiting at the window, and then she left without saying a word.

As soon as James heard her leave, he broke down and started sobbing like a little boy.

Lily was sitting at her desk, supposed to be working, but she was too distracted by thoughts of James.

'It felt so nice to be waking up next to him again, he always made me feel so safe, so loved, so special. If I talked to Louise, maybe slip her a truth potion I could find out for sure. But the strange thing is I don't think I need to, I should have trusted him. I trust him now' thought Lily, then she put her hand on her tiny bump.

"What do you say little one, should we give Daddy another chance? Yeah I think we will. We'll also have to tell him about your 'Special abilities'. You're definitely you're Daddy's child you saved me, protected me, saved our marriage, cause if it wasn't for you I wouldn't have even come back from France" said Lily out loud.

The she spotted an owl flapping at her window, she let it and and read the document it had.
