Chapter 5: Wait for me

Today was the day. Today my little baby would meet his father.

I look at him sleeping soundly in his crib. Only a week ago he graced us with his presence.

Sirius and Harry promised to take us to see his father. I knew Harry wanted to see Ginny as well. He has lost so much, but he still has Sirius, me and now little James.

I could hear Sirius calling for me from downstairs. It was time.

I lifted my prefect son out of the crib. He didn't notice just keep sleeping. He looks so much like his father. Perfect.

I could see Harry out of the corner of my eye. He was gathering the babies stuff.

'Let's go Harry. It's time.'

He lifted his head and nodded in agreement.

I followed him down the stairs. Sirius was waiting for us. Sirius took James from me so that I could put my cloak on.

Sirius was great. He never complained about little James. He always wanted to help. I even found him singing to him last night.

Sirius handed James back to me, and we headed out the door. Sirius insisted on taking brooms. Apprating was too dangerous for little James he said.

I handed James to Harry. I felt that he would be safer in Harry's arms. I didn't like flying. I joined Sirius on his broom; I was still too weak to fly on my own.

It took only a half an hour to reach the graveyard where our friends and loved ones laid.

I took James from Harry and started walking into the graveyard. I wanted to visit everyone. They all deserved to see my perfect bundle.

I could tell that Sirius and Harry were walking on either side of me. We made our way through in silence.

Harry turned towards two graves towards the front. I followed him. I watched as he knelt in front of his parents graves. Silent tears begging to fall from his eyes.

Sirius knelt down next to him. I watched as the both paid their respects to James and Lily. I could hear Harry's words as he spoke to them.

'Mom, Dad I miss you. I always will. Dad you have a namesake now. Remus's son. Little James Moony Lupin. He looks like his father, he is perfect. I just thought that you would want to know.'

I watched as Sirius and Harry stood back up and turned towards me. They were both wiping tears from their face. I smiled encouragingly at them.

The three of us made our way towards Ron's and Ginny's graves. Harry's tears becoming more frequent.

I slowly knelt in front of their graves. I could feel the tears coming down my own cheeks. I missed them both so much.

'Hey guys. I wanted to introduce you to someone. My son, James Moony Lupin. He is perfect. We all miss you guys so much. Someday we will all be together again.'

I turned towards Harry whom was kneeling at Ginny's grave. He didn't seem to be able to find any words to say to her. Sirius was standing behind us, his hands on our shoulders.

I watched as Harry leaned forward and placed a kiss on her grave.

I slowly pulled my self up. Sirius and I waited patiently for Harry.

I watched as Harry laid two flowers on her grave. He turned towards Ron's grave next and laid some on his as well.

We waited until he finally rose. Nodding to us that he was okay. I knew better. He wasn't okay. None of us were.

Harry and I followed Sirius towards the next grave. I knew how hard it was for him to see his grave. Severus Snape.

We both watched as Sirius knelt at his grave. He said nothing he just closed his eyes and sat there.

Harry placed a comforting hand on Sirius's shoulder. Sirius felt guilty. He felt that he didn't deserve to live, that Severus should never have given his life for his.

I understood this. But Severus did what he thought was right. And it was right. He was a great man.

As soon as Sirius rose we made our way towards the final grave. I could feel myself shaking slightly as we got closer.

I handed James off to Sirius and knelt in front of my loves grave. God I missed him so much.

'Love, he is here, finally. Little James Moony Lupin. He looks just like you. He is perfect....'

Sirius knelt next to me with James in his arms. I could see that he was crying again as well. I could feel my own tears flowing freely as looked down at my sleeping son.

'I miss you. I miss you so much. I know that we will be together again someday. Wait for me.'

I leaned forward and laid a kiss upon his headstone. I watched as Harry laided flowers on his grave. He to was crying. I could tell that he still blamed himself. It wasn't his fault.

I slowly stood up again. I stood there for a while just staring down at my love's grave. Sirius pulled himself to his feet as well. I watched as he handed James over to Harry.

He pulled me into a tight hug. I could feel the wetness on his shirt from his own tears, as I cried on his shoulder.

I heard little James cry in Harry's arms. I pulled myself away from Sirius and went to my son. Harry was trying to calm him, but he was hungry their was nothing Harry could do.

I took James from him and slowly started to walk away. Sirius and Harry were following me. We slowly made our way out of the graveyard, stopping at our brooms. I turned around once again to face the graves of our loved ones.

'Wait for me, my love. Wait for me.'
