No. 30 - Wine | Jily Microfic

@jilymicrofics - second to last one!!!

Read on AO3 | 886 words

This fic takes place after "Oak" which you can read here.

Lily glanced at her husband, admiring the way his forearms flexed as he poured them both a bottle of wine.

It had become a tradition of sorts, ever since they’d met over a bottle.

Not that it had been a meeting of coincidence - Euphemia Potter didn’t like to leave important moments to flimsy things like circumstance. But after their first year together, they’d always made a toast on this day. And today marked four years .

Lily’s stomach knotted with anticipation as James glanced up.

“Four years together, two years married,” he said raising his glass to toast her.

Lily left her glass on the table.

“I can’t toast you love,” she said, biting her lip to keep from grinning.

James looked adorably confused at that announcement, his own glass returning to the original place on the counter.

“What’s the matter beautiful?” he asked, concern furrowing his brow as stepped towards her, his arms finding the familiar place on her hips.

“Nothing James,” she answered truthfully “I just can’t drink wine.”

She saw the moment it hit him. The moment the slight frown on his forehead and concerned eyes underwent metamorphosis to a wide-eyed, cheek-hurting smile of happiness.

“You’re pregnant?” he confirmed in a whisper, as if afraid his voice would shatter the reality.

“We’re having a baby,” Lily answered, her own smile stretching wide to match his.

James let out something between a laugh and a sob as he drew her into a hug. Lily felt the wet press of their cheeks and reached up to wipe his tears only to realise they were both crying.

“You’re going to be an amazing mum,” James murmured into her ear.

“Well then this baby is going to be very lucky with two great parents, because his dads pretty amazing too,” Lily answered, melting into his hug.

“Do you think Remus and Sirius are going to have a tiff over who gets to be godfather?” James grinned.

“I think Remus already knows…or at least has a suspicion,” Lily admitted. “I haven’t told either of them anything, because obviously I wanted to tell you first,” she said, pausing with a smile as she tilted her head up at him, their chests still pressed together from their hug. 

James delayed her next sentence by swooping down for a swift peck.

“But I’m pretty sure he caught me dumping the champagne out last night,” Lily continued, biting her lip. “And then I saw him eyeing my boobs and we both know he’s not checking them out.”

“Where were you dumping your champagne?” James laughed, leaning his forehead down to touch hers.

“In the plant” Lily giggled “If it dies, that’s why.”

James snorted, before gently moving his hands up to cup her breasts.

“I hadn’t noticed them change,” he muttered, looking like the absence of him picking up on a change in Lily’s body was a criminal offence.

“They haven’t yet,” Lily reassured him. “It’s still very early - but you know Dr Remus, I bet he was just checking for all the signs.”

“You were very sensitive the other night,” James hummed, his eyes sparkling mischievously as he brushed his fingers over where here nipples lay beneath her shirt.

Lily shuddered.

“Remus wouldn’t know that,” Lily said coyly. “That’s something only you could know”

“Now I know what to look out for next time,” James said quietly, his hands moving down to the small of her back and pulling her into his chest again.

Next time. Lily liked the sound of that. 

“One kid at a time,” she teased, but her eyes must’ve given her away because James smiled knowingly and drew her into a long kiss.

When she had to come up for a breath, she paused. “How should we tell your mum?”

“I have an idea” James murmured before capturing her lips again.

One kid at a time. But certainly no harm in practising .

“Fleamont, can you get the door darling?” Euphemia called as she stepped into the mud room, tulips in her hands and a smudge of dirt of her cheek.

She hummed softly as she heard the soft steps of her husband making his way to the entrance, but she shucked her shoes off much quicker when she heard the light voice of her daughter-in-law laugh.

“Lily! James!” she said making her way around to greet them. “We weren’t expecting you”. She paused after releasing them from her long hug and looked closer. There was something different about them, Euphemia mused, there was a light in their eyes and a secret in the smile they exchanged. What was–

Her train of thought was cut off as her son answered her.

“No, but we have something for you, so we wanted to drop by” her son answered, handing her a bottle.

Euphemia glanced down where her hand had automatically come up to receive the gift.

It wasn’t just any bottle. It was the same wine Euphemia had sent her son on a chase for, four years ago. And…

Oh.

“ Fleamont ” she breathed, her hand coming to her heart.

She felt her husband move to her side so he could see what had caused such a reaction from his unflappable wife.

Dear Grandma,

Thank you for bringing my parents together. I can’t wait to meet you this summer.

Home Intrusion AU Pt 8

"And if you run this story, Cat, then I quit--!"

"Kara, we've got her."

As soon as James relays his affirmation of Lena's safety over the comm, Kara stops mid sentence, shoving immediately from her seat in front of Cat's desk.

"Go," Cat says immediately, sensing the pretense fall. "Now."

Kara doesn't need to be told twice. She takes the stairs down to the ground floor so quickly she nearly trips over her feet. The time it takes to flag down a cab makes her heart rise in her throat, but the traffic gods are with her once she closes the door behind her. The cab drops her in front of the Tower in record time, and she barely thinks to throw a wad of cash to the driver, not bothering to count it before she's out and dashing into the building.

She's the first to arrive.

Kara makes a beeline for the control room, quickly patching into the comms. "Alex!"

"We're pulling up now!"

The sound of squealing tires announces the team's arrival outside, and Kara's heart drops when the lift doors open to reveal Lena limp in James' arms, Alex anxious and prickly beside them as she keeps her fingers pressed to the inside of Lena's wrist.

"Med bay, now!" Alex barks, trotting to keep up with James' long strides.

Fear coats Kara's spine in ice. "Alex, what's happening?"

"She's too hot. Here," Alex instructs James, prompting him to deposit Lena on the nearest bed. "We need to cool her down."

Briefly, Kara's mind flashes to the memory of using her freezebreath to cool Lena down, once upon a time. Now, though, all she can do is watch as Nia fetches and delivers a fresh stash of ice packs, which Alex stuffs around Lena's body.

"Alex..."

"Let them work," J'onn prompts, intercepting her before she can reach out to interrupt their ministrations. "They'll take good care of her."

Even as he speaks, Alex straps an oxygen mask over Lena's mouth and nose. Only then does Kara hear the labored sounds of Lena's breath, the rasping gasp that pulls from her chest with each heave of her lungs.

Lena hasn't opened her eyes. Not once.

"J'onn...?"

"Come," he tells her. "The best you can do for her is let them care for her--"

"Wait!"

Alex's call stops them as they turn to leave, and Kara whips back towards the medbay.

"Lena's generating the heat. It's how we found her. But she can't-- she hasn't stopped. If she doesn't, nothing we do will be able to help her."

Kara swallows thickly. "What can I do?"

"Talk to her. If she can hear you... maybe it'll help her know she's not in danger anymore."

With a heavy nod, Kara walks forward on wooden legs, taking up a position behind Lena's head. Alex hands her an ice pack, and Kara situates it under Lena's heated neck.

Her skin is hot to Kara's touch, hotter than any natural fever. Kara blinks away the tears in her eyes, and takes a deep breath to steady herself.

"Lena," she croaks. She frames Lena's face in her hands, and bends until her forehead rests against Lena's. "You're safe now. We're both safe. You did it. You led them to you... you were so brave. I'm so proud of you. But I need you to let it go now, Lena. We've found you. You're safe. Let us take care of you..."

Kara keeps going, blocking her senses to all but the sound of her voice and the flush of Lena's forehead. As the others continue to try and save Lena's life, Kara's world narrows until it's just her and Lena.

As the words continue to pour from her, a prayer to Rao forms in the back of Kara's mind.

Please let Lena survive this.

Please, don't take her too.

----

Lena wakes.

This time, her eyes still struggle to open, and her mind still feels sluggish, but the heaviness in her limbs feels different than it did before. The puzzle pieces start clicking into place when a familiar figure eclipses her field of vision.

"Allllex," she mumbles.

"Hey sleepy head," Alex returns with a relieved smile. Lena notes the puffiness under Alex's eyes, and the lines of exhaustion in her features. "How do you feel?"

Lena blinks slowly. "Karrrra?" she asks instead. She sounds a little drunk, even to her own ears, but she doesn't care. She only cares about Kara. "Is she...?"

"She's okay," Nia promises, coming to stand next to Alex. "I had to hit her with some sleep-- she hasn't rested since you were taken, and she was dangerously close to keeling over. But she's just fine."

Tears begin to well in Lena's eyes. "They didn't...?"

"She wasn't harmed, I promise you," Alex vows. "They needed her to pretend everything was normal. All they did was keep her under control until they sent her to CatCo to kill a story. She's just exhausted."

Lena nods, swallowing thickly. The knot of fear in her chest eases, and suddenly she feels as though her entire body has been wound as tight as a rubber band for days. Speaking of which....

"How long?"

"Three days," comes the soft reply. "Kara got a message to me immediately, and we've been looking for you ever since."

"We wouldn't have found you if not for you," Nia says quietly. She slips her hand in Lena's and gives it a gentle squeeze. "You were amazing."

"Yeah, but maybe without giving a heart attack afterwards, okay?" Alex offers her a small smile. "You scared us there for a minute."

Lena tries to smile back, but doesn't quite know if she succeeds. "Go big or go home, right?"

"Hah," Alex huffs. "Right."

Lena's own exhaustion, ever hovering at the edges of her consciousness, begins to tug at her thoughts. Her eyes start to droop, despite her best efforts to keep them open.

"It's okay." With one hand still tucked in Lena's, Nia gently presses her other to Lena's forehead. "You need to rest too."

Sensing she has no more say in the inevitability than she has for the past three days, Lena reaches for the one thing she can control.

"Stay?" she asks. It doesn't occur to her to hate the plaintiveness of her voice, or the fact she's nearly begging. She simply clings to Nia's touch, desperate to not be alone.

Nia doesn't hesitate.

"Of course. I'll stay right here with you. I promise."

The last thing Lena sees as she sinks back into sleep is the sight of Nia's kind brown eyes smiling warmly down at her.

This time, Lena sleeps in peace.

Well considering Taylor took the couch (because she insisted they keep hers) when she left, he obviously does not have a couch.

I'm guessing Buck may be hurt? Can't get up to his bed again? And this time no couch.

Like Eddie would have let him go home if he did 😉

If this gets Buck to move in even temporarily to the Diaz household, I am so there!!

If he's indie why all the boyband covers? Don't think the chavs and the alt/indie fans wants to show their face at a show of his when he's playing 1d? Also, why are you talking about who he is and not himself? He's indie because his support acts are indie? Have his management heard his songs? Back to you is indie? Wtf?? Also you need to stop trying to cater to a male audience, it's not going to work. It's embarrasing to watch you try and fail. The tries are also half assed, but that's expected, mostly because he isn't actually indie...////

Yesss agree with all of this. How indie can he be with his background in 1d and his £50m net worth? He's never even been signed to an indie label, but always to one of the big four, spending most of his career at Sony. Indie acts start out in tiny pubs and don't give up their day jobs for years. He's pop through and through and to be frank, doesn't have the right voice for indie. He can't sing fast without running out of breath and his voice hasn't got rasp and texture. He has a light, sweet voice best suited to pop not rock.

Hi, anon!

But he told his cowriters that he wanted to write Oasis like songs for FITF, so he must be indie? Holding on to heartache is so indie! He's also emulating Liam Gallagh*r move for move on stage, that's indie right? He's wearing a wife beater, windbreaker pants and ugly trainers, can't you tell he's indie? They cost a months rent on a house though. Doesn’t matter that he's singing Night Changes while doing it. It's indie! Being rude and sarcastic to your fans is rebellious and cool right? So pretty indie of him. And according to Matt Vines we need to respect that Louis is indie now.

#all this makes me want to watch ali g in tha house again #we're almost there #it's a parody at this point #solo louis #louis image #indie wannabe #am i being too mean? #i'm just so fed up about indie being forced down our throats #he isn't even really indie! #also this was sarcasm btw #*ali g indahouse is the correct name
