"If you can find a way to do it without hurling your very charming, pregnant self to the ground, that would be even better," James told her with a teasing grin, poking Lily gently in the side.
He shifted a little as she adjusted against him, more than happy to play the role of leaning post. "I'll start stocking up, just in case," he promised her, twirling a strand of red hair between his fingers, his other arm steady around her middle. "Worst comes comes worst we can use them to terrorise people at Halloween."
That idiotic smile was proving quite impossible to shift; it kept creeping back onto his face whether he wanted it to or not. His heart was doing a weird tip tappity thing against his chest, and everything seemed a bit bright and saturated. When Lily laughed, the gentle vibration travelled up her chest and into his, causing James' smile to widen to quite bonkers proportions against her skin.

"A much bigger brother," James agreed. "This poor kid's going to have some really weird family dynamics to deal with." But he or she would have a family to deal with, and that alone was worth everything. He smiled to himself, pressing his lips persistently into the curve of Lily's neck. "But let's leave it until after the weekend... I've got some much better stuff we could be getting on with right now."
