She reads the story aloud to him, pausing as he points out something in an illustration and turns back to look at her for a moment, an adoring look on his six-year-old

[James found it nice and warm and safe when Lily hugged and squeezed him. Like being at home with his mother but better. And the book was new to him too. Must be a Muggle story, he thought. But as much as he was enjoying it, he was yawning and nodding off.]

[With every yawn, Lily gave him a little hug. He was just too adorable for words. They finished the story and Lily moved so that the little boy could lie down properly. She pulled the covers up over his little body and then say beside him, impulsively leaning in to brush a lock of hair out of his little face.]

Are you sleepy, now, then?

Uh-uh. [He shook his head but his eyes were closed and he was drifting off.] Dun wanna sleep...

[hexywitch]

[Lily giggled. He was just the cutest thing ever.] The sooner you go to sleep the sooner you can wake up, though. And we can do all sorts of wonderful things tomorrow.
