Lily sighed happily to herself as she took off her bloody plastic gloves. Luckily, this hadn't been a hard procedure; there was only blood on her hands because this particular procedure wasn't really a clean one. Whether one was a muggle or a wizard, giving birth was still filled with the gory details in between. But it was all worth it in the end, Lily thought, to see the looks on the mothers' faces when they met their child for the first time.

Lily wanted that. She knew she couldn't have that, but she wanted it. Remus and her had been living together for a few months now, and though they weren't married, Lily felt like they were ready to take the next step. Lily wanted to start her life was Remus; she felt ready. And somehow, she knew that he was too. It hurt her a little that he hadn't mentioned it, though.

Once Lily had finished taking off her messy garments, she put on her hooded sweatshirt and changed from her scrubs to her jeans. It might have been plain and muggle, but Remus didn't mind and Lily was more comfortable like this. She Apparated into the kitchen, smiling to herself as she thought of the look on that mother's face today.

	She shakes her head just at the same time. "I don't care what the neighbors think," Lily says, recovering from the shock he had given her. "I want to marry you, and I don't care who knows about it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	He sighs again, louder this time. It's a discussion they've had many times. "I'm glad you say that," Remus says, "Because everyone will. You'll show up on the Registry along with me. It's not fun, Lily." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She shakes her head. "I'm the best Healer they have right now, and I don't like to brag. I'm not dangerous to them," Lily says. "They have no reason to fire me. And if they do, all Hell will break loose." She smirks. "I have my ways." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Your ways," Remus echoed softly, a faint smile on his face despite his better judgement. "Of course you do. But what about our baby? What will the baby do, when it gets old enough to realize?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"The baby will be fine," Lily told him, trying to be comforting. "I think it will be confusing, but we can wait to defeat that obstacle for a little longer, I think." She reached up and gave him an eskimo kiss. "We have time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Sometimes..." Remus starts to say, eyes on the floor suddenly. "That is. They aren't sure, if my...little problem. If it can be passed on, or not. They aren't sure." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Lily paled suddenly, thinking of that for the thousandth time so guiltily because she knew that it was a possibility. It didn't seem right to Lily. She couldn't help it if it did happen, but she tried to make light of the situation. "Remus, you don't know if it would happen." She shook her head. "And odds are, it won't. You weren't born like this, and typically, that sort of thing shouldn't happen if it isn't naturally hereditary or if only one of the parents has... it," Lily ended lamely.

	"You never know," Remus said quietly, meeting her eyes through his bangs, shy and a little ashamed. "I just want you to be. Prepared. Just in case." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lily leaned forward to catch his lips in a quick kiss that certainly didn't lack intention or affection. "I know, Remus. But I have a really good feeling about this." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluemoon 2009-03-09 05:13 am UTC (link)
	"Okay," Remus said, relenting to Lily's faith. "We have time." He took his kiss back, lingering at her mouth a moment. "You don't have a ring yet." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lily smiled. "I don't need one, Remus," she whispered. "I'm happy just to be with you, you know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluemoon 2009-03-09 05:21 am UTC (link)
	"I'm so glad," he replied as their noses brushed slightly. "I just want you to have one." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Lily leaned just a little forward to catch his lips again, keeping her arms wrapped around him, not even bothered when she heard the boiling water of the spaghetti start to overflow on the stove. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluemoon 2009-03-09 05:28 am UTC (link)
	"Mmmm," Remus hummed, regretfully pulling away when he heard the sound as well. "I've ruined dinner," he sighed, moving the overheated pot from the stove and into the sink. "The noodles are burned." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fieryfurnace 2009-03-09 05:31 am UTC (link)
	Lily started laughing. "At least it didn't explode," she countered, poking fun at her own baking skills. The last time she made noodles, she wasn't really sure what happened, but there was still a weird-shaped water stain on the wall to prove whatever happened. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bluemoon 2009-03-09 05:33 am UTC (link)
	"Yes well," Remus said with a laugh, washing out the pot to soak the baked noodles off. "I'll never understand how you managed that." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fieryfurnace 2009-03-09 05:37 am UTC (link)
	She shrugged. "I don't know. I'm just unlucky with cooking, I've decided," Lily said with a dramatic sigh, walking over to the burner to turn it off. "You're much better than I am," she said, slight admiration in her voice because it really was a hard thing for her to cook. She's always wanted to know how, but it was a skill she'd never mastered.

	"And I am unlucky with employment, so between the two of us, we live very nicely, I think," Remus said, his usual response to Lily's comments about her culinary ineptitude. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	She wrapped her arms around his waist from behind, putting her face into the crook of his neck. "At least you make one heck of a grilled cheese," Lily teased, leaving soft kisses where she put her face. (Reply to this)(Parent)
