I skipped quite a bit here, i know. I felt though that the story was getting long and with school starting im not going ot get online as much. Sorry for the rush and thanks for all the wonderful reviews!
Lily felt contractions seize her body. Oh god the baby's coming. James! I've got to get James get to the hospital wake him up already Lily! Lily fumbled around for a bit, until she found the contours of his face, She may have slapped him a little too hard to wake him up because he let out a groan.
"What the hell Lily its 3 in the freaking morning. And I was having a good dream. One where you aren't overly emotional and slapping me for no reason." James grumbled. Lily had been keeping him awake for the past few months with odd cravings and her groans as she tossed, trying ot find a way to be comfortable enough to doze off for a bit.
"For stupid James the baby's coming! Get UP already!" Lily threw her weight into the shove she gave James' limp body off the bed.
He scrambled to his feet, fumbling in the dark for the light switch. Lily shrieked as her eyes were blinded by the light and wavered as her body was put through another contraction.
James did a series of things at once. He threw open the closet and put on the first thing he found. Unfortunately, the thing he found was caught on one of Lily's dresses. The dress snagged, casuing James to trip and fall onto the nightstand. The lamp there teetered for a moment and came crashing down, shattering the bulb and plunging the room in to darkness again. James fumbled around for a bit, looking for the light switch, and cut his hand in the process. Blood slowly dripping now onto the carpet, the room was bathed in light once again. It caught the little shards of glass and made them shimmer. Lily stepped carefully over the broken pieces and walked over to the door. She picked up the suitcase trudged down the stairs and grabbed her coat. She looked back at James and raised her eyebrows as if to say, Now that wasn't so hard was it?
James smiled as he ran down the stairs and gave his fiery wife a quick kiss on the lips. He took the suitcase from her and held the door open for her. She was hobbling now to the car, and had as soon as she got in let out a long scream as a particularly long one hit her body.
Punching the pedal, James sped off towards the hospital, weaving in and out of cars and not bothering to pay attention to red lights. Lily shrieked at him all the way, and especially voiced her opinion as their tiny car narrowly missed hitting a Pepsi truck. They arrived at the entrance to St.Mungos looking pale and shaken. Finally, in what James thought had to be a record of getting to the hospital in five minutes, Lily was wheeled into the delivery room. By now, the contractions were coming in long bursts. Lily tightened her grip on James' hand, which he could've sworn was breaking after he heard an audible crack.
Doctors were speaking to Lily now, telling her to push. Lily felt so tired though, it was so hard to do what they asked. James was whispereing in her ear, telling her that she was almost done, just one more push. One more push? I can do that. She gathered all the strength she could muster, which wasn't a whole lot, and gave a yell as the baby finally left her body.
The nurses took the little baby boy and cleaned him up as his shrill crys pierced the room.
"Wait where are you taking him?"
"Sweetie they are just cleaning him up."James laughed and kissed the top of her forehead.
"Okay but be careful he is looks so breakable."
A smiling nurse handed the squirming bundle to Lily.
"Do you have a name yet?"
Lily looked up at her beaming husband. James had taken the baby from her and was watching him intently, so amazed that he had created this tiny new person. James' eyes had misted slightly, and she felt tears drip down her cheeks as she looked upon the two most important people in her life. The she thought over the names she and James had talked about.
"Harry. Harry James Potter."
James looked over and smiled at the sound of his name. He nodded his head in approval at the name. The nurse what just about to take Harry James Potter to the nursery when a breeze ruffled through the room and a worried looking wizard popped into the room. Dumbledore only glanced at the baby before approaching James and Lily. Looks of confusion passed over their faces. Dumbledore had been just as excited about Harry as them. Something was wrong.
"Mr.Potter, I need to speak with you briefly."
James walked hesitantly out the door with Dumbledore.
"James I need to tell you something. Lily and you, and now your baby, are in grave danger. Voldemort has heard about...something and he will be coming after you. I need you both to stay at the Order for a bit until future arrangements can be made. Your things have already been moved into one of the old bedrooms. I'll see you there." Dumbledore said this in a hushed whipser and very quickly, so it took James a while to comprehend all that had just happened. He slowly walked into the room and closed the door behind him. Lily was sleeping peacefully, her hair spread out over the pillow and one arm covering her face. James didn't have the heart to wake up the sleeping angel and tell her what had happened, how their lives had changed so much that day.
