A fanfic or headcannons of the marauders fussing over a pregnant lily? Your writing is soooo good btw I love it!
Thank you!! This is such a cute request :)
Remus would be the one to make sure Lily’s getting all of the nutrition and food she needs
James would take this to mean she should just eat as much as possible so he brings home a bunch of Honeydukes sweets and chocolate and Remus sees it all and freaks out
“Look James! Right in the book! 2,000 Ways to Keep Your Soon to be Witch or Wizard Healthy!” He pauses to set his rectangular glasses on his nose and reads to them all, “The mother must consume the proper vitamins from all food groups.” He whips his glasses off (Sirius is having heart palpitations and trying desperately to hide them because damn does he love Remus with his glasses) “Right in the book! And that means vegetables, fruit, grains, starch, carbs-”
“Chocolate has carbs.” Peter pipes in.
“Yes, Peter, but when do you recall chocolate being referred to as a vegetable?”
Peter shrugs and steals one of the chocolate bars from the’ bag that James is now sulking on the couch with
Lily just laughs and goes and comforts James and accepts a bit of chocolate to make him smiles
Meanwhile Remus and Sirius is in the kitchen trying to figure out how to work a juicer because “It’s the quickest way to get her her daily vitamins”
Meanwhile there’s Sirius who’s main focus isn’t really Harry yet, it’s more Lily
Literally every time she moves or goes to walk to the kitchen for some more of that treacle tart she can’t stop craving, Sirius is right there: knees bent, arms outward, like a human safety net hovering, waiting to catch her if she were to fall
“Sirius, honestly. You look ridiculous, I’m just going to the kitch-”
“Yep. Yep. Just focus on walking Lils. You’re like a house and I’m pretty sure you can’t see over that bump- WATCH OUT STEP UP STEP UP-”
“SIRIUS THIS IS MY HOUSE I KNOW WHERE TO STEP UP.”
And then there’s Peter, who’s rather timid with the whole thing, pretty quiet.
He’s not sure if he likes kids or not because he’s ever really had to be around one but he likes Lily. And he likes James too so he must like Harry
He sits there quietly until someone recalls a fact wrong from one of the many baby books they’ve bot and suddenly he’s reciting entire passages
Because little do they know, Peter’s been staying up until the wee hours of the morning pouring over these books just incase he needs to know something
James who is so excited to have a baby boy he wakes up grinning at the ceiling every morning
James who always will run out in the middle of the night and sneak into the Hogwarts kitchens because “No, James! Store bought Treacle Tart just isn’t the same.”
James who every night kisses not only Lily good night, but leans down, pushing Lily’s shirt back and presses soft kisses to her tummy too
James who sometimes freaks out in the middle of the night because fuck he’s going to be a dad and he can’t even control Sirius some times how is he going to take care of a little baby? His little baby?
So he’ll slowly scoot down the bed, trying not to wake Lily, until his face is level with the bump
He’ll push the shirt fabric away and just press both of his palms against the smooth skin, feeling calmer instantly
“Hi in there… I know we just talked last night but in case you don’t remember - can you remember things yet? Well, if you can’t, I’m your dada…” He’ll glance up at Lily to make sure she’s still asleep, “Anyway, so we left off yesterday at your first broomstick I think.” James smiles to himself, smoothing his thumbs over the belly, “You’re gonna love it, I know you will. I’ll teach you how to fly and play Quidditch and the rules of the game- I’ll teach you how to swerve and dive and spin all before you even get to Hogwarts - We’ll get to that part soon.” He sighs, leaning forward to press a soft kiss to the lump, letting his lips linger there for a second, “Merlin, I’ll teach you everything. I’ll be there through everything, okay? Anything you need, I’ll be right there. Always, okay?” He places one more kiss to the bump, “Until tomorrow then, little guy.“
And Lily has to pretend to roll over in her sleep because she’s smiling so hard and she doesn’t want James to know she was awake the whole time - that she’s been awake every night for her boy’s little chats
