the setup. (james potter x reader)

fifty nine.

On December 25th the one gift i as not and was least expecting was finding out that i was pregnant. It had been awhile too thought somehow I just didn't notice.

For christmas dinner James and I held it at our house surrounded by all of our friends who were our family. Sirius, Peter, Mel, Marlene, Remus, Lily, Alice, Frank and basically the majority of our friends.

We were all passing around gifts enjoying the day all together. "Oh Y/N you've barely eaten!" Lily cried out. She rushed grabbing some food putting it on a plate and handing it to me and i smiled.

"Thanks Lils."

She returned the smile, "Anytime for you bestie."

Frank stood up and clicked his glass, "If i could get all of your attention please. I'd like to announce that Alice is pregnant and we are expecting a child in July!" I clapped and everyone was giving them high five and so on and cheering.

But i could just feel a bit at the bottom of my stomach and i stood up, "Funny thing is Frank. Found out this morning i'm a little over a month pregnant to so James and I should be expecting a child in July too..." I mumbled, i watched as everyone's eyes widened. Not sure if it was shock or panic. "Merry Christmas?"

James and I's eyes locked and I watched as he slightly choked on he butterbeer which resulted in Sirius patting him on the back.

Remus stood up rushing to get watch from the kitchen, "I think i'm going to faint." He muttered dramatically. Melanie followed him into the kitchen to make sure that he certainly did not do that.

James regained control and stopped his coffing fit and picked me up spinning me around before kissing me on my forehead. I smiled at him, "You aren't mad?"

He laughed, "Why would I be mad! We're going to have a child. Our own mini us he will be quite beautiful I recon. Think about it a mini Potter running around. Told you I'd love children only when you are comfortable with it." He said excitedly.

I pulled him once again into a hug. Though i pulled away quickly to go to help Remus in the kitchen, "Are you okay Remmy."

He looked up at me eyes widening, "You-you-you're going to have a child. My sister is going to have a chi-"

Mel interrupted him, "Right so we are going to take you into the spare room to have a lie down for a bit." Remus nodded agreeing and the two made their way through the halls.

I walked into our living room where Lily along with Mel, Alice and the other girls joined me. "This is so exciting." Alice beamed.

I nodded agreeing with her, "It is yes."

"Oh Lily I heard you got back with Severus!" Cried Tanya from beside me excitedly.

I turned towards her, "Really? When did you?"

"A couple weeks or so."

"Oh Lils."

The evening came and everyone had returned home to spend the remainder of Christmas with their families. I sat cuddled up with James as we watched the television i had brought a while ago. It was a bit tricky at first to James but he got a hand to it after awhile.

He turned to me and kissed me before leaning down and kissing my stomach, "You silly goose that tickles." I whined.

"We need to think of names." He whispered.

"James there's seven months or so until then we are in no rush, but I am liking the name Harry. I'm just saying, just putting it out there."

"I actually really like that as well, and if it's a girl, Harriet." He jokingly said.

I scrunched my nose up in disgust, "No not Harriet that sounds to similar to Harry if it's a girl I want the name to be something significantly different. Hope like my mother or maybe Ginny or Teresa. What about Teresa, Teresa Potter doesn't sound that bad." I rambled.

"How about Teresa Lara-James Potter. Then it could be like Harry James Potter. Figure that, it'd be cute i believe."

"You know what Jamie, I don't even think that sounds that bad." I replied. I leaned in to kiss him softly and pulled away, "I love you so much."

"And i love you so much more."
