But
time with you is standing still
She was sitting there on the bed looking extremely tired
but happy. Her auburn hair that I loved so much was messy and drenched with
sweat, her vivid green eyes looked tired but I could see that mischievous
twinkle that she always had was still there. I walked up to the bed. She turned
and smiled
I'm
waiting for you only
"Where have you been? I've been waiting for you"
"Well the nurses are pretty strict here," he said with
mock seriousness
"And since when did you follow rules?" she said with a
laugh. "James I would like you to meet our son Harry"
The
slightest touch and I feel weak
She handed Harry to me I put my finger out for him to play
with. He grabbed it and squeezed it very hard. But not hard enough to hurt me.
I cannot
lie from you I cannot have
He was the most beautiful thing in the world, Next to Lily
that is.
"Hello Harry" I said in a playful voice. "How are you?"
pretending to shake his hand.
Lily laughed as he grabbed some of my hair and pulled.
"He's a little Marauder already."
"Let's just hope that he doesn't get in as much trouble as
you did when you were in school" teased Lily, her green eyes sparkling.
"Hey" I said pretending to be hurt
"oh did I hurt big James's inflated ego?"
"no. you just deflated it a bit"
she smiled. "I'm sorry" she said kissing my nose
"you're forgiven" I said kissing her back.
Just at that very moment Harry began to cry for no reason
at all. I tried to calm him down but he just kept crying.
And I'm
losing will to try
"You try" I said handing him to Lily. As soon as he saw
her he stopped crying and smiled again
"Mother's touch. You need to find your's."
"One problem there. I'm not a mummy i'm a daddy"
"You need to find your Daddy's touch then" she giggled
"I'm sure Sirius has it hidden somewhere"
"What've I hidden?" came my best friend and godfather to
Harry from the door.
"My Daddy's touch."
He looked questionably at Lily.
"Don't ask" is all she said
He turned his attention to Harry.
"Is this Harry? May I?"
Lily handed Harry to Sirius, Sirius carefully took Harry
in his arms and started bumping up and down. Harry giggled and squelched like
all small babies do when they're happy.
Cant
hide it Can't fight it
"He looks just like his daddy but he has his mummies eyes"
Sirius stated to no one in particular.
"His mother's beautiful startling vivid green eyes? Those
little neon lights that are stuck in her beautiful head? Those blinding—"
"Oh be quite you" Lily interrupted while punching me in
the stomach.
"Oof. That hurt"
"You deserved it" pouted Lily
"I didn't mean it that way" I said indignantly "I meant it
as a complement"
So go on
go on come on
Leave me
breathless
Tempt me
tease me
Until I
can't deny
This
lovin' feelin'
Make me
long for your kiss
Go on go
on yeah
Come on
[The Next Morning]
"Waaaaaaaaaaaaa"
I jumped up and looked around to see what had made that
startling noise. I walked over to his crib and my recollection of the previous
nights events floated back into my mind. He's probably hungry was the
first thought that entered my mind. I gently picked him up in my arms and
started rocking from side to side to try to calm him down
And if
there is no tomorrow
In a vain attempt to calm him down. I started to talk
about stuff. Nothing in particular. Just every thought that came into my head I
voiced to him. It seemed to calm him down, listening to me talk about being
hungry and wanting to head home. Five minutes later he was fast asleep in my
arms.
"So you found your daddies touch have you?" came Lily's
voice from behind
I turned around to see her sitting up in bed looking at me
with interest.
"How long have you been awake?"
"Oh about five minutes"
"You heard all that?"
"Yep. Every last word. And I think you did a good job in
calming him down"
"Only good?"
"Great."
"Only Great?"
"Oh shut up you"
"So D'you think we'll be able to go home today?"
"I think so. As long as those cranky nurses let me go" she
said with a smile
"Katiana said that her and Remus will meet us there at 12"
I said remembering what Lily's best friend had said to me the day before when I
was waiting in the waiting room.
And all
we have is here right now
"They both had to rush off to Hogwarts to see Professor
Dumbledore about something. He wanted me too but I couldn't go because someone
decided that it was time to go into labour right here right now" I said glaring
between the pair of them
"Hey its not like I could really control when this little
guy wanted to pop out. He has a mind of his own." Gesturing to Harry who was
asleep in my arms
"I know. I know. Dumbledore will understand. He knows
family comes before work with me."
"Everything comes before work with you" she teased
I opened my mouth to say something in retaliation but the
nurse interrupted.
"And how are these two going?"
"We're going fine." Said Lily smiling
"That's great! I'll just need to do a general check-up on
the both of you before you leave" Said the nurse who was now standing on the
end of the bed looking at the clipboard that hangs there. "So young—" She
looked at the clipboard "Harry. We're only going to need to weigh him just to
make sure that he isn't to underweight and you'll be free to go." I smiled at
the thought
"Ahh home I haven't seen that old place in about a week" I
said dreamily
"You were there yesterday."
I'm
happy just to have you
You're
all the love I need somehow
"But it seems like a week has gone" I defended myself
"After all I've been spending all my time with the love of my life and my
beautiful son. You can't blame me for being happy. Having the two of you who I
know love me just as much as I love them"
"Ahh beautiful speech there James." Teased Lily pretending
to wipe a tear from her eye.
(Approx. One year Later)
"Lily take Harry and go" I told her urgently. I scrambled
out of the room and I grabbed my wand from the hallstand. He was here.
Voldemort was told by that little worm I used to call a friend. We finally knew
who the spy was. Too bad we had to find out the hard way.
"It's him! Go! Run! I'll hold him off—" something hit me
in the stomach with such force it threw me up against the far wall. I stood up
wand at the ready. Knowing that I had no chance against him.
"Well well well.
If it isn't the gallant James Potter. Finally we meet." Sneered the figure in
front of me.
"What d'you you want with us?"
"Us? Whoever said that I was after you?" He stepped
inside. "Nice place you've got here. Too bad that it won't stay like this." He
pulled out his wand and pointed I at me.
"Expelliarmus!" I shouted but I was to late. He had
already shouted the curse.
It's like
a dream, although I'm not asleep!
I never
want to wake up
I started floating away over the scene, but I didn't want
to leave. I wanted to go back but I couldn't. Something wouldn't let me.
Soon Lily joined me and she told me the one thing that
made me feel so much better.
"He couldn't kill him. Harry is still alive!"
Don't lose
it Don't leave it.
From then on I always watched over him. I never let him
out of my sight. I went everywhere with him. Although he couldn't see me I was
still with him the whole time.
Lily watched of him as well but she wasn't his true
guardian angel. She was guardian angel to a little girl with lots of brown
bushy hair. (A/n: Hmmm I wonder who that is? ::coughHermionecough::) I was told
that they would both play a big role in each others lives so that we could both
see our so grow up.
So go on go on come on
Leave me
breathless
Tempt me
tease me
Until I
can't deny
This
lovin' feelin'
Make me
long for your kiss
Go on go
on yeah
Come on

Dumbledore and the little girl with lots of bushy brown hair all belong to J.K.

I forget any thing? If I did they belong to whoever owns them.
A/n: Well that sucked at the end didn't it! I sorta cut
the song a bit short cos I couldn't think of anything else to write. Reviews as
usual are compulsory for u lot fames will be deleted and taken to heart and
revenge will be seeken in as many forms as possible. Constructive criticism
will be used in by brain as room filling space because my friends reckon that
if my head was a block of units that only two units would be taken "Food" and
"Fanfiction".
Thanking you
Green eyed Lily's daughter.
P.s: To any one who is reading my other story Together Forever I have a severe case of
writers block so bear with me. I should have the next chapter out in July
sometime.
