A/N - This was written for the 365 Days of Drabbles Challenge on HPFC. One prompt a day for a year. That is the plan anyway, hopefully I'll be able to keep up with it. Enjoy!

Prompt: New

Characters: Harry and James Sirius

Rating: K


Harry looked down at the tiny bundle he held in his arms. He could scarcely believe that not only was the baby here, but he was Harry's. His son. The thought of it took his breath away.

James blinked and opened his eyes, seemingly staring up at his father. Harry knew he wasn't really seeing him of course, only hours old, but Harry smiled just the same.

"Hey there, little man," Harry said quietly, so as not to wake Ginny. "I'm your dad. You don't know what that means right now, I know, but you'll figure it out soon enough." James continued to look at him solemnly as if concentrating on Harry's every word. Harry grinned at the newborn.

"I never knew what it was like to have a real family until I met your Uncle Ron. And I still screw it up sometimes. Your mum's far better at it than I am. But I'm willing to give it a go if you are. What do you say?"

James blinked once and then yawned widely. Harry chuckled.

"I'll take that as a yes." He dipped his head and kissed his son's forehead, as James' eyes shut and he slept once more. Harry looked from the sleeping form of his son to that of his wife and smiled in contentment. His family.
