* OOC . && Update.
I hate doing this, but this is officially my last week of vacation -- so I'm sorry if I might be a bit hysterically this week. I'm afraid how inactive I'm going to be, afraid of losing mutuals, afraid of losing character, etc.
I seriously can't thank everyone enough for putting up with our silly shenanigans. These past 4 months have been amazing, more than any words could express. I suck at words so I'll cut this short. Just know every interaction has been very very meaningful && a total blast ! I'll definitely be reflecting on our time together during work. There's going to be days where I will mostly post ooc. or short responses -- likely meme prompts, but I will still continue long threads -- they're just going to take a bit longer for me to get to. anyways, sorry for the rambling ...
ᴛʟ;ᴅʀ -- I'm going to be super selective due to returning to work, but everyone's more than welcome to jump in my inbox ! it'll be snail-paced but I will get to stuff slowly. so, yeah, if it seems like I'm ignoring you -- this is why.

You’re going to make Prongs a responsible parent
'I can't believe you two are having a child,' Sirius said, shaking his head.
They had been sitting by James for about an hour. Before he left them, Peter had related that the Healers believed James should wake within that timeframe. Lily needed to see James awake, needed more evidence than the rising and falling of his chest that he was alive. Time had passed so slowly, and yet, somehow it had passed, but James was still asleep.
'I just... you're so young. You have your whole lives ahead of you. Please don't tell me you planned this?'
'That's none of your business,' Lily scoffed. 'And no, we didn't plan it.'
'Thank God,' Sirius sighed. 'It was bad enough that he wanted to get married,' Sirius grimaced as he said the last word, but Lily wasn't fooled. That day, Sirius had looked as happy as if it had been his own wedding.
'Ey - watch it!' Lily mock scolded him. Sirius just sniggered.
'It's not a death sentence, you know?' Lily added, a little later, James still lying unmoving and unaware that his wife and best friend were there.
'No, it's so much worse,' Sirius said with feeling: 'You're going to make Prongs a responsible parent.'
'I don't know about 'responsible',' Lily sighed, 'but he will be a parent.'
If he recovers, an uninvited voice in her head added nastily. Lily tightened her grip on James' hand ever so slightly, suddenly feeling unwell. James hadn't woken up yet. What if something was wrong?
Sirius seemed to misunderstand her change of mood: 'Lils, I am only joking. The man is a world champion in stepping up to the roles he's given: he was an unbeatable Captain, the best Head Boy in our time (if you ask for my unbiased opinion) and he seems to be doing a good job on the husband front.'
'He needs to stay alive,' Lily said, quietly, 'to be a good husband - to be a parent - any parent.'
Sirius looked momentarily stunned.
Lily looked helplessly down at James, and felt her breath catch in her throat as she supressed a sob.
'Hey, don't go there, Lils. Please... He will be just fine, and then the two of you will become insufferable parents, who only talk about baby stuff, and I will want nothing more to do with either of you.'
