"James!" Lily's piercing shriek filled the air of the Potters little flat.

James winced as the sound reached his ears, "There's no need to shout, Lils, I'm right here."

She whipped around as best as any five month pregnant women can, to glare at James.

He raised his hands in submission, "What have I done this time?"

Lily scowled, "There's no ice cream left! You told me you brought some! How can I eat my pudding with no Ice Cream?"

James looked bewildered, "Lils, I just brought ice cream the other day - one chocolate, one vanilla remember?"

Lily took a controlled, deep breath. Was it too much to ask that her husband be prepared? He knew she craved pudding, and he knew that she never ate pudding without ice cream, so there should always be ice cream in the fridge.

"Well obviously, James, you didn't because look in that freezer and tell me- is there any ice cream there?" She gave him her best death stare. James gulped and did as she asked.

"Ummm, maybe you ate it all?"

Uh oh, wrong thing to say to a pregnant woman, Lily thought.

"Are you calling me fat, James? Are you suggesting that I ate every single tub of Ice cream, by my self? Are you judging me? Do you not want me any more? Is that it? Well?" Lily's mood and changed faster than James's confused mind could comprehend.

Lily took his silence as a 'no.'

"I can't believe you! You stupid arrogant-toe rag! Why did I ever marry you?" She sobbed as she threw pillows from the couch at his head.

James couldn't help it. He started laughing. At first it was just a small chuckle, then a laugh and then he was in full on hysterics.

"What are you laughing at?" Lily asked nervously, her hormones messing with her emotions.

James took a deep breath and steadied himself before moving closer to Lily and putting his hands on either side of her head and rested his forehead on hers.

"Lily. You aren't fat. I'm not leaving you. You married me because I asked, and you said yes. I'm fairly sure you weren't under the influence of a spell or a potion, thus meaning you loved me. Now, are you going throw more pillows at me or do you want to buy some ice cream?"

Lily smiled, he had a way of making everything better.

"Ice cream. Always ice cream." She said solemnly.

James winked, "We'll save the pillow fights for later then shall we?"

She slapped him on the arm. "Prat."

"Beautiful."

"Idiot."

"I love you too."

"Git."

"You married me."

"I'm starting to question that decision."
"Ouch. Way to hurt a guys feelings, first you scream at me, then you throw pillows and now you insult me?"

"Twat."

"Let's go get you that ice cream."
