Chapter one: It is time
Lilly Potter awoke in the middle of the night. Her back was killing her, and she had the most horrendous cramps in her life. She stood quietly, not wanting to wake James and headed for the bathroom. Every step she took sent a shooting pain through her abdomen. She sucked in a breath before heading in to the bathroom and shutting the door. Lilly undressed, she planned on taking a shower. Maybe that would calm her nerves and make the pain go away. Just when she was about to step into the steamy shower a stabbing pain shot through her that knocked her to her knees. She cried out in pain, and lay on the cool bathroom floor trying to catch her breath.
James awoke, he thought he had herd a noise. He reached for his wife who was not beside him. This worried James so he got up and wandered around the house, looking for her. He was about to go look downstairs when he herd a loud moan coming from the bathroom. James ran to the bathroom and knocked lightly on the door.
"Lilly, are you okay?" he asked, a frown of worry spreading across his face. Lilly could barely be herd through the bathroom door.
"I don't think so," she said softly, still trying to catch her breath. James cursed and waved his wand, muttering the spell to unlock the door. The door latch clicked and he entered the room. He saw Lilly lying on the floor and ran to her, his concern for her darkened his eyes, and his brows were furrowed.
"What is it sweetheart?" he asked, placing a gentle hand on her shoulder. Lilly looked at him, her eyes were clouded over with fear and pain.
"I think it's the baby!" Lilly exclaimed, still trying to breathe. James cursed again and lifted his wife into his arms. He had to get her to the hospital. The closest hospital was in Hogwarts, so he grabbed a high healed shoe that had been made in to a port key and tapped it with his wand. This activated the port key. James touched the shoe, still holding Lilly tightly in his arms, and he felt himself being pulled from the room. The next thing he knew he was on the floor, and Madam Pomphry rushed over to them, muttering about how people should take care of themselves. James smiled at the old nurse.
"I think Lilly is having our baby," he stated, peering up in to the old witches eyes. Madam Pomphry smiled, then instructed James to lay Lilly in one of the beds. He did as he was told, and Madam Pomphry conducted a thorough examination on Lilly. She smiled before turning to James.
"She is going to have the baby in a few hours I expect," Madam Pomphry said, beaming up at James. James looked around the room, fear etched all over his face. What am I supposed to do? I don't know what to do for her. As if Madam Pomphry could read his thoughts she winked at him.
"You go outside and wait until I come and tell you that your baby has arrived." James looked in to Madam Pomphry's eyes.
"I'm not leaving Lilly," he said, looking from Madam Pomphry's face to where Lilly lay on the bed. Madam Pomphry smiled.
"Mr. Potter, there is nothing that you can do here." "Go outside, and I promise that when your child is born you will be the first to go. James looked at the determined look on the nurse's face. There was no way that he would be able to change her mind. He sighed, and turned to leave the hospital wing. Before he reached the door he turned and looked at his beautiful wife. He was the luckiest man alive, he thought, then quietly walked out to wait impatiently for his baby to arrive.
