On the twenty-first of May, Lily rose from bed with a frown, already dreading what the day would bring.

She washed up, struggled into her clothes, and brushed her red hair.

As Lily prepared to face James in court, she sighed to herself.

Dumbledore had been kind enough to order Severus to accompany her to the Ministry under the excuse that her discipline records from her school days had to be delivered by a Hogwarts representative.

Severus was worried that that would be a flimsy reason for his presence, but he had jumped at the chance to support his beloved in her battle against James, and he hoped that Dumbledore's command would allay any suspicion from Voldemort's spies.

Once she was ready, Lily opened the door to the bedroom, dressed in clothes that didn't quite fit her anymore.

When she took a step forward and felt her foot bump into something, she blinked and looked down over her belly.

Lily stared curiously at a large box that had been placed on the stone floor.

Unable to bend down comfortably, she took out her wand, levitated the box off of the floor, into the air, and onto the top of the nearby dresser.

She walked over, undid the bow on the box, and opened the lid.

Lily's green eyes widened at what she saw when she peered down inside..........

Severus had been waiting on Lily in the living room of his chambers since he had woken at sunrise.

By the time he heard her walk in, he was nearly finished grading the last of the previous week's exams.

Severus glanced up and his mouth instantly went dry as he gazed at his darling.

Lily looked so devastatingly beautiful to Severus as she stood there in the hallway that he could have died right there in his seat.

Her long, red hair was rich, thick, and tousled elegantly over her shoulders, framing her face and highlighting her glowing cheeks, pink lips, and bright, green eyes.

Severus stood up and tried not to lose himself in that lovely, hypnotic, emerald stare.

He wrenched his gaze from Lily's fair face to let his eyes travel briefly over her figure.

The v-neckline of her blue maternity robes alluringly exposed the top of her ample cleavage, which sat proudly above the generous swell of her womb.

Some men would have turned away, but after Severus ignored the fact that it was Potter's child that rested within her, all he saw was beauty, power, and fertility as his black eyes flickered over Lily's curves and the doughy softness of her arms that hung at her sides.

Her hands looked pale and delicate as she laid them over the life that she carried.

"Did you buy all of this for me, Sev?" Lily asked with a happy smile.

"Did I buy........all of what?" Severus asked as he swallowed painfully.

His mouth was so dry as he stared at Lily that he could scarcely speak.

As Severus stood in front of the beautiful woman he loved, his thoughts were uncoordinated at best.

What.....?
