Party Interrupted || James and Roddy ||

Lily wasn’t allowed to be involved in much these days but it was her dad’s 50th birthday and there was no way she was missing that. She didn’t get to see her parents much and as heartbreaking as it was, she knew it was for the best. It was something to keep her muggle family safe as well as herself, but it didn’t make it any easier. She was huge these days and shut off from most people. They only way they could travel was via the Knight Bus and despite James accompanying her on the blasted thing, Lily was worried she’d go into premature labour! It was the joltiest, most uncomfortable ride possible but they made it in one piece and Lily needed to pee. As soon as they stepped foot into her parents home she made a beeline for the door, only giving her parents a very brief hug before she waddled up the stairs as fast as her swollen feet would take her. Pregnancy was brutal, she’d never expected it to be this hard. Women had been doing it for generations so was she doing it wrong somehow? Turned out the answer was no. Pretty much every woman went through this shitshow and what was more, apparently it would turn into a literal shitshow because apparently people pooped while giving birth! What the hell!? She’d probably have rethought that whole getting pregnant thing if she’d known that disgusting piece of information earlier.

After she was done in the bathroom Lily made her way down stairs, passing her disgruntled brother-in-law Vernon on the stairs. Honestly, he had the sort of face you just wanted to smack. He was chubby but he made it seem like the squeeze to get past one another on the stairs was somehow her fault. The man was a giant knob and Lily had no idea what Petunia saw in him but apparently it was enough to marry the thug and have a baby with him. Lily just rolled her eyes and carried on down the stairs and made her way into the living room. “Happy birthday, dad!!” She beamed reaching her arms around the tall but slender man that walked toward her with an equally big smile. “Sorry about that, baby likes to play games in there.” She smiled, running her hand over her belly, positively glowing with pride at her little bump. “James,” She said, looking to her husband rather pointedly, “Present!” She said, urging him to give her dad the present they’d picked out for him in a shop close to where they’d lived in Hogsmeade. It was a little touch of magic for him to keep. She knew he and her mum loved all things magic so she hoped it would be a wonderful little treat, as her mum came over and hugged her, giving her a peck on the cheek and rubbing her hand over Lily’s precious little bump too, leaving a scowling Petunia sat on the sofa with a screaming, wriggling newborn Dudley to hold.
