Harry Potter One Shots

First-Name Basis

"Lily," he called, knocking on the door of their bedroom. Their bedroom. The bedroom he shared with Lily. Lily Evans. Lily Potter as of two weeks ago. "Can I come in?"

"Sure," She replied.

He stepped into the room, closing the door behind him and sunk onto the bed next to her. She didn't look up, but kept her slim frame bent over the object she was holding.

"Lily? What's that?"

Finally, she turned to face him, and he was entranced once again by those emerald green eyes, those soft red curls. She held up the object in her hands, but his eyes were still on her face. Her beautiful face.

"It's positive," she said.

He shook his head slightly, returning to the present, and registered what she was saying.

"What do you mean it's positive?" he asked, confused.

Then he realised what she was holding. And burst into tears. She was having a baby. They were having a baby. They were going to be parents.

"James!" she exclaimed, shocked.

"S-sorry," He gasped between sobs. "I'm just s-so happy."

"Oh James," she sighed, wrapping her arms around his neck, her own eyes filling with tears.

"Me too, baby. Me too."

He wiped his eyes and pressed his lips to her forehead.

"Never tell Sirius about this," He murmured, running a hand through her hair.

She laughed.

"Okay, just Remus and Peter then."

He gave her one last squeeze before pulling back to look at her. He caressed her cheek lightly before moving his eyes to her stomach. He imagined it swelling up, stretching the fabric of her shirt. He imagined a baby growing in there. Then he reached forward and pushed her shirt up to reveal the pale skin there and placed a hand against it. Lily leant forward, burying her face in his shoulder, and moved her hand to cover his on her belly.

"You're going to be the best dad ever," Lily said against his shoulder.

"Nah, you'll be better."

Lily looked up from his shoulder, raising an eyebrow.

"I meant mum! You'll be the best mum ever!" James corrected himself. "Don't tell Sirius about that one either."

Lily laughed and pressed her lips to his.

"God I love you Potter," Lily said against his lips.

"I thought that since we're married we're on a first name basis?" James grumbled.

Lily stopped kissing him and shuffled closer to him on the bed, and he pulled her into his lap, kissing her quickly again until she pulled away to speak.

"Nah," she said, moving a hand to cup his face. "We'll just call the baby Potter as well."

James glared at her and she rolled her eyes.

"I love you James."

James smiled and kissed her again.

"I love you Lily."
