Potterverse doesn't belong to me. Honestly, not having the best day here. Here's the update, hope you enjoy it and thank you to everyone who's read, favorited, alerted and reviewed. I find you to be highly awesome.
"Captain," Cummings whispered. "I can't feel my leg Captain."
"Then move, but quietly Cummings."
Quietly as she could Cummings moved from her previous position. "It's all tingly."
Sirius sighed frustrated before saying, "You're the worst person to go on a stake-out with."
"I thought you said the worst person was Baxter?" Cummings replied conversationally, causally glancing over at Sirius.
Sirius shuddered. "That was your fault you know."
"No it wasn't!" Cummings immediately countered offended that Sirius would say so. "It wasn't like I planned on vomiting my insides into the toilet for an entire day, Captain!"
"You could've gone to St. Mungo's and had them fix you up instantly." Sirius pointed out.
"Yes, because I was in such good shape to do that Captain." Her apple green eyes rolled as her voice dripped with sarcasm. "No one would've minded if vomit shot out at them out of their fireplace, or rained down on them from the sky or even instantly been hit when I Apparated. Of course not, how could I have ever been so selfish and thought that the best place to empty the contents of my stomach was in the loo in my own home? I should've thought about my dear Captain and what he could've possibly been suffering through when I couldn't go on ONE SINGLE mission with him. Just one!" Cummings emphasized in a whisper holding up her index finger, eyes narrowed at Sirius.
"I'm glad to know you've come to your senses. I await your apology." Sirius told her with a smirk, leaning back against the pipes that were protruding from the roof.
"My what? That was sarcasm Captain, SARCASM! I thought you of all people should know that!" Cummings said waving her arms around looking more on the crazy side of things. Instead of being effected Sirius just sat there, staring at her, giving her a look. "What?" Cummings asked not sure what he was trying to get at. Sirius didn't ease up on the look and suddenly it clicked in her head. Cummings sighed defeated.
"I'm sorry Captain for not risking vomiting on unsuspecting civilians and journeying to St. Mungo's to be instantly cured so I could've prevented you from having to spend an entire evening with Baxter." She apologized in monotone.
Sirius smiled. "I accept your apology Cummings. No be quiet, we're on a mission." Sirius pressed his lips together tightly to keep from laughing as Cummings opened her mouth to protest when suddenly a bright, shiny, silvery animal appeared in front of them. Sirius recognized it immediately.
"So shiny…" Cummings said staring at the Patronus with a hypnotized look.
"It's time." The Patronus announced before disappearing.
Immediately Sirius perked up even more, excitement coursing through his veins. "It's time! Cummings, you know what this means?"
Blinking Cummings turned her attention back to Sirius from the spot where the Patronus had been. "…That it's time?" She replied slowly.
"Yes!" Sirius practically shouted, blowing their cover before inquiring, "Why aren't you more excited?"
Absentmindedly playing with her wand Cummings replied with a half shrug. "Honestly Captain, I'm not sure what I'm supposed to be excited for."
Sirius stared at her dumbfounded. "That was James' Patronus," he explained pointing to the spot it had appeared. Cummings nodded. "Lily's having the baby."
Cummings' apple green eyes grew almost impossibly large at the news. "LILY'S HAVING THE BABY? IT'S TIME, CAPTAIN, IT'S TIME!" Cummings yelled excitedly jumping up and down in her spot. A couple cracks resounded in the middle of Cummings' happy dance as Sirius stared on amused. Unimpressed, the two Order members who showed up to take over watched the scene before them before one of them commented with,
"And here I thought they sent out only the best? I can understand Sirius, but you Cummings?" Immediately Cummings stopped dancing and turned to Baxter the Sirius Black wannabe. Sirius inconspicuously took a couple steps back from the younger male, just to feel safer.
Cummings scoffed. "Sod off Baxter; you're just jealous because we get to go see the baby! Let's go Captain!" She grinned grabbing Sirius' hand just before she Apparated. In a matter of seconds they were at St. Mungo's and instantly Sirius spotted his best mate.
"James!"
"Sirius!" They practically ran to each other joining together in a man hug.
"This is so exciting!" Cummings commented bouncing on the balls of her feet right next to them, borderline smothering them with the lack of space between the three of them.
"Cummings?" James questioned looking to Sirius. Who gave a half shrug as if trying to say there was no way he could get rid of her.
"Cobra Commander!" She hugged him tightly before pulling away and asking, "Has it arrived yet?" She stared at him wide-eyed.
"Not yet, I have to get back to Lily's room, come on." He gestured and both Sirius and Cummings followed James down the many halls. Unfortunately Sirius and Cummings were not allowed to enter the room, even after Cummings told the medi-wizards that she was the father of the child. So impatiently Sirius and Cummings sat in the hallway, soon after there was screaming and many death threats against James by Lily. Sirius had to stop Cummings from bursting into the hospital room to save her Cobra Commander by explaining to her that James was used to the death threats since he used to get them all the time at Hogwarts.
Though when Lily threatened to rip off James' cash and prizes Sirius wasn't sure he wanted to have kids. He dearly loved his cash and prizes. James just continued to be supportive and nice to the monster Lily had turned into that had the mouth of a sailor. Twenty minutes later James finally walked out smiling beckoning them in.
"How is she, mate?" Sirius asked as they walked into the room.
"Good, they're both good." James replied beaming. Cummings doubted that smile would ever come off his face.
"Look, it's so tiny!" Cummings clapped excitedly as she spotted the baby nestled in a blanket in Lily's arms. "Can I hold it?" She asked and carefully Lily handed over the baby, Cummings cradled it against her smiling softly. Sirius grinned at his godson. "Aww, how adorable, what's its name?"
"Harry." Lily smiled, her face flushed.
"Harry Potter." Cummings stated staring down at the sleeping baby. "…Harry Evelyn Potter…" All eyes were on Cummings as she tested out the name.
"Evelyn?" Sirius repeated with a hint of hope, for this must be her name right? She did say she wanted to have the baby named after her.
"It has a nice ring to it." She commented.
"Because he's now named after you?" Sirius suggested hopefully only to receive a weird look from Cummings that plainly asked if Sirius was crazy.
"No, I wouldn't be caught dead with the name Evelyn." Sirius visibly deflated. He had been so close. "I was trying to guess his middle name."
"And you went with Evelyn?" James asked confused but relieved that he didn't lose the bet that he and Remus had going on whether or not Sirius would find out her first name.
"Is Vivian better?" She asked.
"No."
"Harry James Potter." Lily answered still smiling, as if minutes before she hadn't been cussing James out.
"Nice." Sirius smiled and Cummings nodded in agreement as they all stared at the baby in her arms in happy silence.
"You know," Cummings stated offhandedly. "This is the longest I've ever gone without accidentally dropping a baby." Sirius' eyes widened and quickly – but carefully – took baby Harry from her arms.
