I don't own Harry Potter or any of the characters. This is the first time I've ever uploaded anything, and it took a lot to finally do this so please be kind.

All mistakes are mine, so I'm sorry if there are a lot. Please review, enjoy :)

It was Christmas and James was excited. He was as excited as a small child would be. James was always like this on Christmas. He had done it when he was younger like any other kid, but he had never quite grown out of it. He woke up at 5 o'clock and ran around straight to the living room, where Sirius was sleeping. He jumped on top of Sirius in order to wake him up.

"I'm gonna kill you" were the first words Sirius groaned as he sat up. "But since its Christmas I'll forgive you." He grinned sleepily as he grabbed a present from under the tree.

All the commotion James had caused had woken the others up. Lily, Remus and Peter came downstairs and smiled as they saw the boys opening their presents. Remus and Peter joined them on the floor. Lily sat on the sofa behind them. The boys ripped through the wrapping of their presents quickly. They were all talking and laughing loudly when James looked around. His face fell.

"Hey... Lily, you didn't get me a present." James said in a whine voice.

Lily looked up at him (ignoring the pathetic excuse of a present in her hand from Petunia) with a raised eyebrow. "Sure I have. It's just not the kind that you can put under the tree."

"What is it?" James said, sitting up.

Lily opened her mouth to answer him, only to quickly close it. She looked slightly green. She stood up and ran out of the room. James looked at the others in confusion. He was just about to ask them if it was something he did when he heard Lily throw up. James ran out of the living room as fast as he could.

"Lily? Are you okay?" He asked in a panicked voice as he rubbed her back.

Lily straightened up and grabbed a glass from the sink and filled it with water. When she had got rid of the taste of sick she went back downstairs and sat down on the sofa. The others looked at her worriedly, and gave James a questioning look.

"James, come on I need to give you your Christmas present." She smiled. James sat down besides her. She sighed and took a deep breath to calm herself. "James, your present is... well it's inside of me." She said, smiling.

"What?" James said frowning at her in confusion.

Lily rolled her eyes. "James, I'm pregnant."

All four boys in the room gaped at her. Remus was the first to snap out of it.

"Congratulations." He smiled.

"I... I'm going to be a dad." James said quietly. "I'm going to be a dad." He repeated, this time louder. He looked around. "I'm going to be a dad!" James laughed. He kissed Lily and hugged his friends as they congratulated the couple.

And that is how James Potter found out he was going to be a father. Needless to say, it was the best Christmas he had ever had.
