Chapter 3: The Godfather.

'Me…Godfather…wait one sec.' Sirius said astonished. 'OK, let me get this straight, you two want me, Sirius Black, to be the baby's Godfather?' Sirius said, his mouth wide open. 'Yes.' Lily said with tears running down her cheeks. Sirius took a moment, and then before anyone knew it, he was hugging Lily. He traveled from Lily to James and gave him a huge hug excitedly repeating 'Yes, yes, yes, of coarse!' Sirius began to wipe the tears that began to travel from his dark deep brown eyes down his cheek then deep into his black beard. 'Congratulations Sirius!' Remus said with a congratulating smile.

Everyone turned to Peter who didn't say anything. Remus, who was just across from Peter, kicked him hard in the shins, making Peter give a small squeal of pain. 'Yes, yes, congratulations, to all three of you.' Peter said, with a sense of resentment. 'What was with the tone Wormtail?' Sirius asked with a stone curious face. 'I'm just hungry.' Peter said giving a nervous grin, showing his rat teeth. 'Well let's dig in.' Lily said shooting Peter a dirty look.

After supper everyone left. Lily sat down on the couch in the living room, while James cleaned the kitchen.

The next night James and Lily had Dumbledor over. Lily wanted him to know because he was like a Father to her; he sort of took her father's place when he deceased when she was in her fifth year. That night they told him the great news, he became excited like the rest of the others. Like the night before after supper he left. But this time James didn't clean up after supper, he started to work on the nursery.

Five months after the news was spread, the nursery was ready. That night to celebrate, the Potters invited the Marauders for supper yet again. This time Peter did not show up. But none really cared; they all had a great night nonetheless. Like before everyone made himself scarce after supper. It was Lily's turn to clean up, so James decided that he would go out to Diagon Alley for some baby necessities.

James went to all the places he knew. He had purchased; a change table, crib, and diaper dispenser. At 9:00 James decided that it was time he go home. So he apparaited home. 'Lily, I'm home, and I got some things for the baby, I think your going to like it.' James said waiting for a response from his wife. But there was no response. All he heard was a groan of pain come from up in the nursery. James rushed himself up the stairs. He busted open the door, only to find Lily lying on her bloated stomach, on the ground unconscious. James rushed over to her, no abeyance. He turned Lily over, her eye was bruised and her wrist appeared to be broken.

James quickly apparaited Lily and himself to Saint Mongo's. He waited an hour for the results. Finally a doctor came out of the room where they were keeping Lily. 'So is she all right? How's the baby? Let me see her now!' James demanded. 'James calm down.' The doctor said with a calm tone. 'She is…' the doctor began and paused, his eyes started to water.
