14. James and Lily
James smiled as he came home to the sight of Lily asleep in her armchair, her hand protectively across her stomach. He crouched down beside her.
"Lily," He whispered soothingly. "I'm home."
The sleeping woman stirred. "Mm? What?"
"I said I'm home, sleepy head." He chuckled as he placed a kiss to her temple.
Lily smiled and opened her eyes, pulling him back down to plant a kiss on his lips. He took her hands in his and helped her to stand.
"Would you like a cup of tea?" James asked as he crossed to the kitchen.
Lily followed him over. "Yes please." She smiled and got the tea bags and sugar out of the cupboard as her husband began to boil the hot water. A few moments later they were back in the living room sitting next to each other sipping their tea. "James, I have some wonderful news… We're going to have a baby."
James glowed with pride.
