"James," called Lily.
It was a Sunday morning, Lily was still in bed, and James was in the living room reading a Quidditch magazine.
"Uh huh, what is it?" he called back.
"I was just wondering where you were," said Lily as she almost waddled into the living room, she was 6 months pregnant now.
"I thought I'd let you sleep later, you were really tired last night,"
"I know I'm fine now though. At least I don't have to go to work," she said, her maternity leave was starting the next day. Lily sat down next to James and rested her head on his chest, snuggling into him.
"Sure, sweetie, rub it in. You know I have to be at work at 7am tomorrow," teased James.
"Shut up, I am carrying a enormous human being in my uterus, I deserve a few months off"
"A few. You're getting 9 months off"
"And I deserve it"
"I know you do. I know this hasn't been easy on you," said James throwing the magazine on the nearest coffee table and pulling Lily closer to him.
"It's not been easy on you either. I know that's been my fault."
"It's okay, as you said you're carrying an enormous human being in your uterus"
"Yeah, but I shouldn't take it all out on you. I know I haven't been fair on you and I am sorry"
"I told you it's okay"
"It's not. You know I don't mean the things I say when I lose my temper"
"I know"
"I didn't mean it when I said, I'd wished I had never agreed to go out with you at school,"
"I know"
"And I didn't mean it when I said you were a thoughtless useless lump that snored and kept me up all night"
"I know"
"And I didn't mean it when I said I couldn't bear to have you in the same room as me, well actually at the time your presence did annoy, but I know that was my fault"
"I know"
"I love you, you do know that, don't you"
"Yes I know that, and you know I love you"
"I know, you've never given me a reason to doubt that, I've given you plenty of reasons to doubt how much I love you"
"I know it's just that your hormones are all over the place"
"I don't understand why you're being so nice and understanding to me"
"Cause you're my wife, I love you and you're carrying our baby"
"Still I'm a bitch to you at times"
"True, but that doesn't make me love you any less. In fact as I have said before I find it quite a turn on when you lose your temper,"
Lily just giggled, "I don't know what I ever did to deserve you"
