-1For Lolly! - Merry Christmas!

Baby Joy:

Lily couldn't stop smiling. She had everything she'd ever wanted. She was married to the love of her life; James Potter and now she had just found out she was pregnant. She found herself thinking about her and James, everyone said they complemented each other and she couldn't help but think they were right. While James was fun loving, she was quieter, while James joked a lot she was more serious. And yet Lily was sure there was lot they had in common, it was just things the general public didn't see. Lily knew the softer, sensitive side of James, the more caring side.

She couldn't wait to tell James she was pregnant, she knew he'd be as happy as she was. She really wanted to see the expression on his face when he found out. It was all very well her trying to imagine it, but it would be another thing entirely to actually see it.

She curbed her smile slightly as she stepped outside, she didn't want people thinking she was a loony. 'UP' she told her broom and it levitated beside her. She didn't actually need to speak for her broom to rise, but she had just wanted to say something. It was all she could do to stop herself screaming and shouting in excitement. As she rode home there was a part of her that wanted to shout down to the people below 'I'm going to have a baby' but she didn't. She wanted James to be the first person to know.

As soon as she had landed she was running in their house, shouting 'James! James'

'What is it?' He sounded worried. 'What's wrong? Seriously tell me, if anyone hurt you they will regret it'

Lily giggled; James was going to be a fantastic father.

'What's going on?' James asked managing to stop worrying for long enough to see that Lily was happy not hurt.

'James' she found herself laughing in excitement and barely able to speak.

'Come on, Lil' James said 'Tell me'

'I'm pregnant' she blurted out, after looking at her stomach and back at James.

James copied Lily's movement and looked at her stomach before looking back at her. A smile grew on his face, the widest, brightest, happiest smile Lily had ever seen. 'That's fantastic' he said, his voice suggesting that the word 'fantastic' wasn't strong enough to describe it. It was him grinning like a loony now. 'I'm going to be a Daddy' he looked around the room. 'We have so much we need to do. We need to turn the spare room into a nursery; we need to get a cot, clothes, toys. We need to decide on a name. I wonder if it'll be a boy or a girl. There are so many names to choose from? Lily, Jasmine, Ruby, Rose, Mary, Harry, Sean, Jacob, Jack, Edw--'

'James!' Lily laughed. 'Calm down. I'm not about to give birth now. We have nine month, you know'

'I know' he replied, and wrapped his arms around her.
