Lily and James are seven months pregnant with their first son, who they've decided to name Harry. James has been reading parenting books for months, and has discovered that supposedly if you read to the baby in the womb, it will familiarize the baby with his parents and also increase the intelligence of the child. James insists that every night that Lily lay on their bed while James reads bedtime story upon bedtime story to the baby. One night, after a particularly long day, James and Lily are laying on the bed with bedtime stories open all around them. Lily's hand is placed on the bottom of her stomach, and James has his cheek rested on the side of her stomach, his mouth right about where the head of the baby would be. Books are strew all about on the bed, and the two exhausted parents-to-be are getting tired, but Harry was still awake and kicking. James keeps reading, and Harry begins to calm down. After three more books, both Lily falls asleep, and then James dozes off... "Once... upon... a time...." are his last words before he falls asleep, the books scattering the bedroom still wide open.
