Thanks so much to my reviewers (and readers too) ! I'm happy you enjoyed the last chapter!

So, it's finally here guys...a lighthearted chapter -cheers- . I'm getting better with updates, right ;) ? It's just that I'm going to travel tomorrow and I wanted to leave this posted before I left. I'll post more when I return.

This chapter is called 'Carriages'.

Disclaimer: I don't own anything.

We were standing in front of about twenty different baby carriages. It was ridiculous, why couldn't Lily just pick one and get over the whole thing?

"That one" I said, pointing randomly at one that was displayed right in front of me.

"Yeah, why not carry our baby around in that gigantic piece of rubbish?" she said sarcastically. She folded her arms on top of her belly and sighed. Her beautiful green eyes traveled along the lined carriages.

She started pacing (for the third time), looking at each and every single one of them. I followed her, pretending to be interested; I really didn't care which carriage she chose, I only wanted her to do it quickly, we already had more than half an hour looking at them! While she thought very deeply about which one to choose, I just stared at her auburn hair, and how she tapped her fingers unconsciously against her seven month old belly.

Suddenly, I heard her gasp. Had she finally found one? Did a miracle just happen? Had our lives in carriage-world finally ended? I turned to look at her and found her eyes glistening and her lips widened in a huge smile. A squeal erupted from her chest and her finger pointed to something that I just recognized as a gigantic yellow blur.

"That one!" she said excitedly.

I looked at it. It was completely bright yellow, and had little teddy bears printed all over it. It was true that I didn't really care what carriage she chose, and that I really wanted to get out of there, but that one? The giant, walking cheese? It was not only terribly yellow, but it was awfully… girly. And I'd have to push that thing around for at least two years. No. I wouldn't let my son go around that horrible piece of –

"It's cute!"

"It's horrible"

"Horrible?" she sounded outraged, and for a moment I thought she would pull out her wand and hex me. I was thankful when she just put her hands on her hips, or what was left of them, and said "tell me one thing that's horrible about it!"

"The yellow-ness, the bears, it's not only awful but also girly"

"Girly? Bears and yellow aren't girly"

"The flowers on the bears' bellies" I raised my eyebrows at her, did she seriously did not think that was a carriage meant for baby girls whose parents had a terrible bad taste? She scowled and looked closer at the carriage, and suddenly, a defeated expression took over her face.

"It's not that horrible"

Without another word, she returned to her pacing for the fourth time, and for the fourth time I followed her.

"That one" I said, pointing at another one. I got closer to it and placed my hands on top of it "it's not girly nor yellow, it looks comfortable, it matches mommy's eyes, it –"

"I told you already, it looks like troll's vomit" she said "and thanks for comparing it with my eyes"

I rolled my eyes and walked closer to her. I put my hands on her shoulders and gave her a quick peck on the lips that lighted up her face "would you please pick one? I'm going bonkers here…seriously."

She sighed and turned around to face, once again, the bloody carriages. Why didn't I tell Sirius to come with her instead of me? I knew how picky and unsure Lily was while shopping, I knew it. Like the time we were buying the crib; she wouldn't decide between the white one or the wooden one, until finally she bought the latter. So why had I come?

"I just want the perfect one for Harry" she said calmly "I want everything to be perfect for him"

Well, that's why, because she was sweet and perfect and I loved her so much.

"Having such a perfect woman as a mother, I'm sure everything will be ok" she rolled her eyes and tried (with no success) to hide an incredibly wide smile that was appearing on her face. I kissed her again and pointing at another carriage said "What about that one?"

"Ugly"

"That one?"

"Too small"

"That?"

"It's for older kids"

"That?"

"Ugly!"

"For Merlin's sake, Lily" I said. I sighed and gave up. We would spend at least two more hours looking at the carriages, wouldn't we? I ran my hand up and down her back while she stood watching them again.

"You know what…let's go" she suddenly said "I don't like them"

"Took you long enough to figure that out, Lils" I said and took her hand in mine. She slapped lightly my shoulder with her other hand grinned sheepishly. I kissed her on the cheek and we were finally exiting the damned store. I felt my insides sing, I even started humming.

We walked along the shop's window, our fingers interlaced, looking uninterestedly at the products they were selling until…

I stopped in my tracks and stared at it, displayed in all its glory. I pulled Lily back.

"What –" she started saying, but I think that after seeing my expression she turned to look at what I was staring; a baby carriage; it was navy blue and had little snitches printed all over the fabric. There was even a broomstick were the baby was supposed to sit! I smiled, and I think I even saw singing angels floating around it.

I looked at my wife and she looked at me. Her eyebrows were raised and her green eyes shone… We knew it, that was it!

"That one" we said in unison. We walked quickly back into the store.

Fin! Read and Review :)
