lilies *James Potter*

Chapter 48

Liliena tucked herself into bed wearing nothing but Remus' stripped brown to tan shades of an oversized jumper that barely covered her bump with James's tight boxers covered in horrid cartoon Marvel symbols full on display as James stripped down to his own simple black boxers (Liliena was jealous but the boxers were comfortable than her own underwear so she wouldn't complain) readying themselves for their first night in their newly bought home together.

It was nearly midnight, the elders had gone to bed around ten, one at a time leaving Lyall to be the last to dismiss himself after being nose-deep into his travel work laptop clicking away.

She was reclining on the bed, several pillows tucked under her to keep herself up and two on her side to help her sit comfortably on her hip where the large bump rested on the pillow, the babies moving around and she knew it'd be soon when she'll have to get up and pee as they made it a life goal while living inside the womb to bruise her ribs and jump on her bladder.

She wished she had never made those jokes to Pandora and Narcissa when they complained. She will forever be in their secreted debt.

James was already stripped down to just his boxers to sleep in but somehow he was determined to continue unpacking the room. He was unsettled, wanting to make the surroundings at least semi-familiar with his own stuff set up while half of Liliena's items still remained in unopened boxes on the floor stacked up.

"What's this?" James asks as he emerges from the master bathroom with the box covered in duck-taped-closed box. The box was small in size and had no labels on it except Liliena's own handwriting with her name. That was it. It was taped to the maximum to ensure the snooping adults wouldn't make their way in with ease.

And to hopefully make them give up on their attempt. But she was lucky enough to have popped it in the cupboard under the his-her sink in the master bathroom.

"That's mine. I hid it in there to keep everyone out from snooping. I'll say it is hidden successfully seeing it's still wrapped up."

"Why is it so... covered? Why'd use this much tape?"

Liliena cocks an eyebrow up at him. "It's my toys."

James's eyebrows furrow as he shifts hte box from hand to hand. "You have toys?"

Liliena rolls her eyes. "Hand it over," she tells him grabbing her box opener knife that was laid astray on the makeshift nightstand of boxes. James does as told and Liliena puts herself to work opening it.

A few slices through the top slit, then several more on the sides before it finally pops open and she passes the box back over to James.

She wasn't ashamed. Definitely not since it was James but the box had years worth of toys inside that only Regulus had seen on a shared drunken night when he had first moved in with her.

It was a weird night, somehow they both stumbled about drunk enough where they were comfortable enough to share their sex toys, their experiences and things they enjoyed themselves that the other could try out with a different partner or by themselves.

James took one peek into the box before tossing the box onto his side of the bed as if it had burned him. "Those aren't toys." He firmly says looking back towards Liliena.

"I mean, technically, they are," Liliena tells him with a wicked grin. "Or had you forgotten the night we shared when Sirius and Harry had found us tangled together that morning? I told you since I've gotten pregnant and past the first trimester my libido had increased greatly. And that box contains years worth, some are rather old when I was in my experimenting era."
