Who: Lily and James When: 12th of January, in the evening Where: Their home in Godric's Hollow What: James owes Lily a back rub.
Lily just didn't know what to do with herself. She'd been in a terrible, rotten mood all day, and nothing seemed to help. James was off with Sirius, having some sort of adventure because James "didn't feel right". Alice had been attacked the night before and was doing alright, apparently, but the thought was still terrifying. And to top it off, of course, she'd had her worst case of morning sickness yet. She'd barely been able to keep anything down all day, aside from a handful of gherkins, a few cups of peppermint tea, and four big spoonfuls of peanut butter. She felt horrible and sick and worried and scared, and she just wanted things to be normal again.
Sighing pathetically, she gave up on the book she'd been attempting to read, tossing it on the coffee table and climbing out of her chair. She knew James would be home soon to give her the back rub he'd promised, but she was tired of feeling the way she felt. Hoping a shower would wash away some of her icky feelings, she headed upstairs to the bathroom. She turned the water on hotter than she usually liked it and stripped down to climb under the spray, trying to scrub away her bad day.
