A/N: Because I absolutely adore James/Lily and always wondered how Lily went through her pregnancy during the war...here's a series of 11 drabbles to take you through her pregnancy (because 9 plus prologue plus epilogue, duh) :D Hope you enjoy!
Inspired by conversations with and thus dedicated to Alicia Mirza and sharmeow, who ship James/Lily as hard as I do, and who are some of my closest friends here :D I love you guys!
Prologue
She trembles under his gentle touch, giving herself up the gentle dance of his fingers across her back and the uneven beat of his heart above her own. Rain beats down on their windows, strumming like his fingers, thudding like their hearts and setting their words to music.
She whispers sweet nothings in his ears and he kisses her in response, trailing fairy kisses from her forehead down her nose. She closes the gap between them as she claims his lips as hers and he obliges. James never appreciated any distance between him and his wife, anyway.
"I love you," she breathed huskily as the night deepened into a delicious blanket of ultramarines and violets that looked the deepest of velvets.
"I love you, too," he promised, his cool breath tickling her nostrils.
They spoke no more that night, letting their bodies express their love for each other in ways words failed to do.
