Disclaimer: I STILL don't own it, and I STILL am not making money off it. Y'all hear that?

A/N: I am sooo sorry for not getting this up sooner. I've had it written for awhile, but I've been busy and everything with school. Well, at least now I'm on summer vacation, so I'll be able to start a new story, since this is the last chapter of this one. On a different note, I am soooooooooooooooo happy that I have over a hundred reviews, and that I'm on some favorites lists. You people make me sooooo happy. I think I'm gonna cry! Thanx to all that reviewed and I love you all.

Lily stared at him, dumbfounded. James pulled her away from the rest of the group.

"Wh-What d-did you say?" Lily stammered.

"I said I came back because I love you."

"You-you-you can't. This wasn't supposed to be for love."

"It started out that way, but slowly, over these past few months, I realized I had fallen in love with you."

Lily was about to say something when Sirius shouted, "Lily! James! You guys coming?"

"Yeah!" James shouted back. As they walked back, they saw Remus pull something out of his pocket, a stick.

"Hey Sirius," Remus said. "Fetch."

"What's that for?" Lily asked.

"It's a portkey that'll take us to Hogwarts," Remus said. "Grab hold." They all complied and felt the pull of the portkey. As they all stumbled onto the Hogwarts grounds, they saw Dumbeldore heading towards them.

"Lily, I'm glad that you're back. Are you injured?" Dumbeldore asked.

"I don't think so," Lily replied.

"She was hit by the Crutiatus a lot of times," James said. Lily could hear the worry in his voice.

"We'll go up to the hospital wing then," Dumbeldore said.

"No!" Lily replied. "I'm fine. Really!"

"We need to make sure you're alright, Lily. Besides, we need to Obliviate the Muggles' memories."

"Oh," Lily said. In truth, she had forgotten about the Muggles.

They all headed up to the hospital wing where Madame Pomphrey immediately started fussing about Lily.

"Headmaster, really! We have students to think about! What are they going to think if they see a grown woman, many who remember her from school, being hurt by You- know- Who?"

"That's why they all will be out of here by morning," Dumbeldore replied. "First, Lily needs the potion that you always give to Severus after he is subjected to the Crutiatus Curse."

Madame Pomphrey shoved everybody out saying that Lily needed some quiet. She gave Lily a potion as Lily lay there, she began thinking about James.

*He said he loved me. Why did he say that? He had to have been lying. But he sounded really sincere. But he's acted like a real jerk. He did have his moments, though. He could act pretty sweet at times. Not to mention the fact that he's really cute. What the-? Where did that come from? Oh no. No no no no no! I can NOT be falling in love with James Potter!* As Lily thought this, however, she knew she was not falling in love with James, she *had* fallen in love with him.

Lily groaned and rolled over to face the pillow under her head.

* * *

James stood outside the hospital wing. He had just finished telling Dumbeldore what had happened back at the clearing. Now he was worried about Lily.

"Don't worry Prongs. Lily will be just fine," Sirius said.

James began thinking about the months he and Lily had been married. Lately, their fights had become more teasing rather than real. He didn't know exactly when it was that he had fallen in love with Lily, but he was, and he considered himself stupid for telling her.

"Hey Prongs! You listening?" Sirius asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine," James replied.

"Why the long face then,? We got Lily back and the Muggles are going home. It's all worked out."

"Just thinking. It's nothing."

"If you say so."

"I'm gonna go in and talk to Lily. See ya later."

* * *

James walked into Hogwarts' hospital wing. He was Lily on one of the beds.

"Hey," James said as he walked over to her.

"Hi," Lily replied warily.

"How are you feeling?"

"Fine. Why do you care?"

"I thought I already told you. I love you." At this, James looked away from Lily.

"James, w-we can't fall in love. We wouldn't work out. We're too different. We'd constantly be fighting we just can't fall in love!"

"Who's said anything about we. I only said that *I* loved you." It was now Lily's turn to look away from James. "Lily, look at me. What did you mean by 'we'?"

"Nothing. Just drop it James."

"No. I'm not gonna drop it. Tell me."

"Fine! You want to know the truth? I love you, you stupid git! Now go away!" Lily turned away from James with tears streaming down her face. Lily felt James' hand on her arm. "Lily, I'm not going to go away. Lily, I want this to be a real marriage. Please. At least give it a try."

"James, I-," Lily said as she turned around. She knew there was no denying it any longer. "Alright," she said with a smile. "We'll try."

James pulled Lily into a tight embrace and kissed her.

* * * 6 months later

James had just apparated home. He saw Lily come out of the kitchen.

"Hey love," he said, kissing her lightly.

"Hi. I have something important to tell you."

"What is it," James asked worriedly.

"I-I'm pregnant. We're going to be parents!"

James looked dumbfounded for a moment, then he picked Lily up and spun her around.

"This means that we have to get that house in Godric's Hollow after all," James said while laughing.
