So I bet a bunch of you hate me because it's been about two months since I updated. And I know I also promised two epilogues, but I have been insanely busy - new job - and I think the best thing would be to end it happily like it does here and not make y'all wait any longer. Enjoy, see you at the bottom :)

Oh my God. Oh. My. God.

I'm getting married. In like, twenty minutes. And I'm kind of hyperventilating. Okay, majorly hyperventilating. And Claudia isn't helping. I guess she's trying to, but she keeps talking about how much James loves me and what an adorable family we are with Harry. I don't think she means to, but it's adding pressure.

What if I screw it up?

So far I've been a decent mom I think. I haven't given him food poisoning or diaper rash or anything. He's still alive, and that means he outlived my poor hamster, who I only managed to keep alive for five weeks. Poor Skippy.

But how am I supposed to be a mom and a wife? That's asking a bit much of me. I think we all know what my mental capacities can be sometimes.

James and I have decided that the wedding should be simple, just us, Harry, the Marauders, and Claudia. And we are having it at our house.

This is all so much – I'm marrying James Potter, we have a son together, and we live together in our own house.

Is it any wonder I'm freaking out a little?

Someone knocks on the door, and Remus pokes his head in. "Ready, Lily?"

I shake my head frantically and start wringing my hands. I've been pacing for the last fifteen minutes at least. Three months ago, even yesterday, I was so sure I could do this, I had no doubts, I wasn't nervous at all. Now, about ten minutes before my wedding, I start to freak out?

Claudia leans forward and mutters something to Remus, who leaves quickly. Claudia walks me to my bed and sits me down, stroking my head.

A few moments later, James walks into the room. And I start to freak out a little worse. Isn't it bad luck to see the bride before the wedding? Especially if she's in her wedding dress?

Claudia leaves and James takes her place, wrapping an arm around my waist and placing a kiss at my temple.

"Remus said you were flipping out a bit," he says softly into my hair. My throat is really dry right now, so I just swallow and nod. "Any particular reason?" I shake my head and shrug, which I guess doesn't make much sense. James sighs. "We don't have to do this if you don't want to. And right now it kind of feels like I'm forcing you into it, and that is the last thing I want."

Finally, I find my voice. "You aren't forcing me to. I want to, I love you. I just don't want to mess it up." I take a deep breath to explain what I mean by that, but James cuts me off.

"I'm sure you have some speech to give me about ways you could possibly mess this up, but I'm going to stop you before you start.

"I'm not worried about you messing this up. Not at all, a fact that surprises Sirius and Claudia to no end. I just want to know that you love me and that this is what you want. That I'm what you want. If not, please tell me now and we can figure everything out some other time."

He's turned his whole body to face me by now, and I swear I have never seen him look at me this intensely. Out of habit I reach up and trace the side of his face and he smiles.

"I do love you," I reply, "and I do want to marry you. I guess I'm just waiting for you to wake up and realize that you deserve so much better than me."

James smiles and leans down to peck me on the lips. "I have yet to find a way that I could do better than you."

I smile as well. "Then if you're sure," I lace my fingers through his and stand up, pulling him with me, "let's go get married."

He gestures towards the door. "After you, Mrs. Potter."

I get a little flutter in my chest when he says that, even if it isn't true quite yet. In fact, I think I'm blushing.

James holds the door open for me and I say over my shoulder, "Thank you Mr Evans."

He laughs and wraps his arm around my waist as we head to the living room. "Love you," he murmurs in my ear. I look up at him and push a wayward piece of hair out of his face.

"Love you, too."

And that, my friends, was that.

So that is the end of Nine, probably my favorite story to write, and based on my reviews, y'alls favorite to read of mine. Speaking of reviews, thank you to:

I don't know if or when I will be posting a new story. I'm working on a few things, but it's coming along slowly because life is insane right now and I don't want to make you wait two months for a chapter again.

Thank you again for reading this story. See you soon [hopefully] :D
