I know this took me literally years to update but here it is...this chapter is almost pure smut but hope you enjoy!
Ch. 24 - Mending and Growing
About sixteen hours later, James awoke with a moan. He felt sore everywhere. His heavy eyelids slowly opened and he noticed he wasn't at home. After a few seconds of looking around, he realized he was in Sirius' old room. Lily slept next to him, her hands folded across her chest.
He didn't want to wake his sleeping wife, but he couldn't move his upper body and he was in pain. "Hey, Lils?"
Lily opened her eyes and, seeing that he was awake, immediately sat up. "James! You're awake! Oh merlin I was so worried…how are you feeling?"
"Actually, love, I'm in quite a bit of pain."
"Oh of course you are." She grabbed her wand and performed a quick pain-relieving spell and he sighed with relief. "Better?"
"Much." He said. She kissed him on the forehead.
Just as James was dozing off again, he heard her sniffling. He opened his eyes and saw that she was staring at him from her side of the bed, and tears were streaming down her cheeks.
"What's wrong?"
"I'm…I'm sorry. It's just…" She put a hand on his cheek. "I thought I'd lost you. And it was the worst pain I've ever experienced. And I ran. I left you."
"Lils, I wanted you to run. You promised you'd save our son, and you did."
"I know, but the moment I did, I regretted it. Losing you felt like…"
"Like you couldn't breathe?" James finished her sentence and Lily looked at him inquiringly, but nodded. "I know. I thought I'd lost you once, and there are no words to describe the pain and emptiness I felt."
"Simple solution - neither of us will lose the other ever again." She grasped his hand under the covers.
"Never again." James agreed. His eyes felt heavy again and he drifted off.
Three uneventful months passed as James recovered and Lily's baby bump grew larger. They stayed at home most days, caring for each other and watching the snow melt and the flowers start to bloom.
They went to headquarters at least twice a week, but Madeye had suspended them from any missions since they were now on the Death Eater's watch list.
Fortunately, he regularly gave Lily requests for potions and put James in charge of intercepting letters and forging new ones with false information. While these tasks kept them busy, and they knew it was for the best, they couldn't help but feel restless as their friends were fighting and carrying out more dangerous missions.
"Blegh what is that smell?" James walked into the kitchen, which had become Lily's workspace.
"Polyjuice potion. Moody keeps requesting it, so I'm trying to make a lot at once so I can store it and our flat won't smell like dragon dung."
"Good idea." He had just woken up and wore no shirt, just a pair of baggy old sweatpants. He stood behind his wife, wrapping his arms around her and kissing her cheek as she stirred the potion. "So Alice and Frank will be here in about an hour, will you be ready by then?"
"Oh I forgot that was today." The two couples were planning a trip to purchase cribs and some other essentials for their babies. Lily turned around and wrapped her arms around James' neck. "Do we have to?"
"Unfortunately, yes. Our son needs a place to sleep." James grinned and rubbed her back.
"Fine. I will be ready. I guess I should hop in the shower." She knew she probably smelled like polyjuice potion. She stirred two more times, then covered the cauldron. As she hobbled down the hallway toward their bathroom, she heard James' footsteps behind her.
She removed her clothes and stepped into the hot water. James had followed her into the bathroom, and stared at her figure, wordlessly feasting on the sight of her naked body. She loved that he was still attracted to her even though she was constantly bloated and felt fat.
"Are you just going to stand there or are you going to join me?" She giggled, pouring shampoo into her hair, then rubbed soap around her shoulders, moving down to her large tits and massaging them. She closed her eyes and sighed. "Mmm." She put on a show, playing with her nipples. One of her hands moved down and started rubbing her pussy slowly, looking James directly in the eye while she did it.
"Oh you randy little minx." He took off his pants at a rapid pace and joined her in the steaming shower. With no hesitation, he pushed her hand to the side and shoved three fingers inside of her. He pumped them in an out, quickening his pace and roughly grabbing on of her tits, rolling her nipple between his fingers.
"Oh fuck yes!" It was true - Lily, who was already quite randy, had taken it to a new level during her pregnancy. She wanted him all the time. Everything turned her on. Not that James was complaining, but they were being a little risky. The other day she insisted on having a quickie at the park, and they were nearly caught several times.
James pulled his fingers out and immediately grabbed her left thigh, wrapping it around his waist and entered her with all his might. His fingers dug into her thigh, making her open up for him and he began pumping in and out of her. Lily wrapped her arms around his neck. She moaned in rhythm with his thrusts.
"Oh, oh, oh yes! James Potter don't stop!"
"Oh merlin, yes Lils." He pushed the length of his member all the way in, and slowly pulled out, then thrust back in all the way. He was torturing her as he slowed his pace, teasing her and kissing her neck.
"James…" She whimpered. Lily was pleading for him to go faster again and he knew it.
"You want it harder?" He asked, teasing her. He rolled one of her nipples between his fingers, smiling against her cheek.
"Yes yes give it to me!"
"Hmm I don't hear that magic word." Still managing to keep his slow pace, he sucked on her neck and he could feel her smiling.
"Please! Please fuck me." He reached down to rub her clit while he began pumping into her more rapidly.
"Good girl. And who does this pussy belong to?" He said into her ear.
"You! You Sir. Oh, god please harder Sir!" He got back to an animalistic pace, roughly pushing into her, hitting places only he could find. She pulled at his hair, holding on to him for dear life.
After a few more pumps he abruptly pulled out of her and let go of her leg. Before she could protest, he had turned her around and thrust into her from behind. She screamed and pressed her hands against the fogged shower walls, pushing her ass back into him.
"Oh, fuck, mmm…" She groaned as he bent over, kneading her breasts.
James, having held on for so long, was now getting very close to the edge. It was getting exceedingly difficult not to cum as he watched his cock disappear into Lily's pussy. The sounds of their wet skin slapping against each other was so sexy he was groaning.
"Oh fuck Lily you're so fucking sexy." He moved one of his hands to her clit and she whimpered again.
"Please Sir, I want to cum!" She was grinding against his hand and pushing back into his cock, her movements chaotic but incredible.
"Yes cum for me like a good girl. And I want you to scream." He found her clit and squeezed it between his fingers while continuing his rutting, and she did exactly as she was told. She screamed in a pitch he'd never before heard while squirting her juices onto his hand and into the shower wall.
James could barely comprehend his amazement before he too finished into his beautiful wife.
He finally pulled out and Lily felt James' seed running down her leg but she didn't care. "My goodness" was all she could say.
"Merlin, you're a wonder. Next time you squirt I want a front row seat."
Lily laughed, "Whatever you command, Sir." And he was hard again.
They finished showering (for real this time) and got ready for the day.
"We have to have play dates so they can be best friends." Alice said to Lily. They were walking down the busy London streets, their husbands trailing behind. "I mean, they'll be like a week apart."
"Oh yes, we must." Lily emphasized sarcastically and rolled her eyes. She turned around and grinned at James.
"Have you guys talked about names yet?"
"Yes, we decided, but don't ask because I'm not telling you." Lily made a zipping motion across her lips.
"Oh c'monnnn. What if we accidentally name them the same name?"
"Chances are slim, Al. But if that happens, I promise you'll get dibs."
"I say the child born first gets dibs." James said, joining the debate.
"I'll take that bargain." Alice said, reaching out to shake on it. James took her hand.
"Good thing I'm due a week earlier." Lily winked.
They spent the rest of the sunny day strolling around London, acting like muggles, pretending the lives of their friends and families were ones of peace and happiness.
"Merlin, it is exhausting being a muggle." James sighed, plopping down on the couch and putting his feet on the coffee table. He lazily waved his wand at the boxes they had brought home and they floated down the hall to the second bedroom.
"Can't argue with that." Lily sat next to him and rubbed swollen feet.
"Let me." He took her feet in his lap so she could lie back. Lily smiled gratefully as he began to massage them.
"Mmmm thank you." Lily closed her eyes.
"Got enough energy for dinner tonight?" James raised an eyebrow at her drooping eyes.
"Of course, just need a quick nap." She yawned.
Both Lily and James woke with a start when they heard a banging on the door a couple hours later.
"Shit." They said together.
Knock. Knock. "James, its us! Open up!" Sirius exclaimed.
"Maybe they're not home." Peter said.
"No we're home! One minute!" James walked toward the door as Lily stretched and walked toward the kitchen.
James opened up, rubbing his eyes. "You know, we have a fireplace."
"Yeah, well after that run-in a few weeks ago I'm staying away from there." Sirius said, stepping in and kicking off his boots. Behind him came Peter, Remus and Dorcas Meadows.
"Dorcas! What a lovely surprise!" Lily hugged her.
"Shouldn't be. She's basically been living with us for the past month." Sirius shrugged.
"I'm actually just stopping by for a minute – I'm off to headquarters." She smiled. "And Sirius, you know I'm a great roommate." They all laughed.
They sat down in the living room and Lily brought over tea. "Dinner will be ready in a minute. Sorry we weren't ready, it's been a long day."
"So what is going on at headquarters?" James turned to Dorcas.
"Dumbledore just got in contact with Pandora Lovegood. A bit strange but bloody brilliant. She's been working on new spells. And I'm going to ask her if she can get to the bottom of that nasty jinx, what's it called?"
"Sectumsempra." James, Lily, Sirius, and Remus said together.
"Right. Well hopefully she'll be able to get us some answers." She took another sip of tea then put her mug down and stood up. "I best be off. Thanks for tea."
"Anytime. See you." Lily smiled.
Remus walked her out and gave her a quick kiss goodbye. When he got back to the living area he was red in the face and James and Lily were both grinning from ear to ear.
"Oh shut up." Remus said, looking at their faces.
"Moony's in love. Moony's in love." They chanted.
"I am not!"
"You are too!" Sirius shot back. "I've never seen you this happy. There's a bloody war happening and the one person I could count on to brood with is now singing in the shower."
"I'm sorry! I just – I like her. She's different."
"Does she know?" Asked Peter.
"Yeah, she knows. She told me she already suspected something back when we were at school, so when I told her it wasn't a big shock. The best part is that she's totally okay with it."
"Dorcas is amazing, Remus. I'm excited for you guys."
They ate dinner together, chatting as if no time had passed. Lily put herself to bed at 10:00 pm, but the marauders stayed up together and talked through the night as if they were back at school.
Sirius, Remus and Peter ended up passing out in various areas of the flat. Lily woke up the next day to find Sirius in the nursery, asleep on a rocking chair and hugging a big pillow with a lion on it. Remus was on the couch, and Peter on the floor of the living room. She laughed to herself and went to the kitchen to whip up breakfast.
Sirius came into the kitchen, presumably from the smell of bacon, and insisted Lily take a break. "Lils, you're 7 months pregnant. Let me make breakfast for these lazy bums."
"I smell bacon!" James came walking out of their bedroom with just his briefs on, stretching. Lily nearly drooled.
"Blimey, James. This isn't the Gryffindor dorms anymore. Maybe spare us the visuals and put some pants on?" Sirius dramatically covered his eyes, pretending to be disgusted by his morning wood and James laughed. Remus and Peter could be heard stirring from the living room but had yet to join the conversation.
"Sorry mate. No can do. I am under strict orders to remain in a state of undress until my wife says otherwise."
"What the fuck?" Peter said from across the room.
Lily smiled, her pupils dilated, looking directly at his hard cock. "I quite like the sight of him like this in the morning. In fact, maybe you guys should go have breakfast across the hall." James grinned from ear to ear as Lily stood and started walking back toward their bedroom.
The other three weren't quite as happy to be kicked out. They slowly grabbed their things and began to walk out, when they heard Lily's voice again.
"James, bring some of that bacon too." The marauders all burst out laughing. James shrugged and grabbed a few pieces of bacon, putting them on a plate.
"I don't think you know how lucky you are mate." Sirius said. "That is one freaky bird."
"Trust me, I know. Now if you don't mind I have to go worship my perfect wife."
