lilies *James Potter*

Chapter 54

It was the first weekend of July and only three weeks left before the triplets were due to be delivered. Liliena was told under strict warnings from Doctor Sprout to take an easy for the remainder last weeks. She has been doing her best, but with Harry's birthday party, they were in the middle of celebrating how could she?

Between her and James both anticipating Tom's arrival, which Tom had told her he'd show up in his costume he nicked off from filming to put on a show for the kids. He wouldn't be using his face mask to prove it was the 'real' Spiderman.

The guest rooms on the top floor were taken by Fleamont and Euphemia, while the other was freed for Peter as he only arrived just yesterday. Tom had preferred to stay in the city in a hotel seeing he was only able to be in London for two days.

They had decided on a cookout for the party. Plenty of food to go around and between Fleamont, Remus, Sirius, James, and Peter they swapped around grilling. One table was out and filled with trays of fruits, vegetables and dips with sides.

The yard contained three different bouncy houses. One was an optical course, another was Spiderman-themed, and a water slide one James found fitting since it was summer.

The Weasleys were spread out, often Liliena would be passed by a ginger as she chilled on a lawn chair set by the picnic table. Liliena was dressed in a bikini top and knee-length shorts so she wouldn't overheat herself and often more than not scratch her bump from her itchy stretched skin covered in stretch marks.

James was one of the few adults in a swimsuit. He had bright red trunks topped with a stretched-out tee dangling on his body showing off his strong tanned skin. Liliena was unbashful staring at him half the time behind her sunglasses. Harry was in a matching set as James', just without the top as he ran around the lawn with no shirt or top.

Sirius was another in his swimsuit. Tight briefs while being topless and skin gradually turning red that Liliena knew her cousin who sat at the picnic table was staring at just as she was at her own lover.

Marlene was the final one to be wearing a swimsuit. Much like Liliena' she was in a black bikini top that had white skeleton hands to look like it was cupping her breasts with tight black booty shorts to match.

Music was blaring in the background, and karaoke was provided to interrupt any time with Dorcas overseeing the spot and would switch with Pandora after cake to give Pandora spend time with Lily as well as time to play with Luna and Harry who were becoming more like siblings each passing day.

"Is he here yet?" James asks for the tenth thousand times sitting on the edge of the picnic table bench leaning close to Liliena. His wet curls stuck half to his forehead and in the air untamed. Water spots littered around his golden framed spectacles's glass.

Liliena checks the time on her phone before grabbing James's chin to pull him in for a kiss. "Last I heard from him was half an hour ago when he got into the car, James. He'll be here soon enough. Patient my dear child."

She lightly pats his cheek before shooing him off to play again like a child. Sirius was sitting between Remus and Regulus, back leaning on the tabletop. Regulus was reading a book that Liliena didn't know as her cousin and Sirius chatted among themselves flirting.

Barty had dragged Evan off somewhere to get wet much to Evan's complaints wearing jeans and a white top that only got Barty more eager to get him wet while stripping into his boxers complaining to Regulus and Ira for not telling him there would be water activities.

James does as told, obeying Liliena and running back into the group of children and adults sweeping Harry off his feet while Harry was in mid-chase on Draco. Draco's most recent book in hand teaing the blonde boy like he had done at the baby shower. Possibly the worst and best outcome Liliena had done for Draco watching his bright smile and tinted pink cheeks from the sun rather than sitting in the shade with Narcissa who was talking and laughing with Dorcas about who knows what.
