It had been a year and a half since that conversation under the tree. James
and Lily were now married and living with each other in a place called
Godrics Hollow. Cordelia was often in correspondence with Lily but she now
lived in London with her new husband and soon to be child. Talia and Sirius
had continued after school but soon lost interest and she had moved away
and lost contact. Unfortunately it was also the same for Darcy. Sirius and
Lupin both lived alone in their own houses but were always constant
visitors to their home. Lily now of course knew all about Lupin's
transformations and where the marauders had gone every full moon.
Lily paced up and down the living room biting at a finger nail, something she only did when she was nervous. Voldemort had attacked recently and James, Sirius and Remus had all been out doing various jobs. Lily on the other hand was about to have kittens she was so nervous and especially with what she had found out today!! If James did not come back she.she.she would kill him!!! She suddenly heard a pop and a tired looking James appeared on the couch. She turned and threw her arms around him.
"Thank god you're ok! What happened was anyone attacked? Killed?" Her face was full of fear and James hated to tell her the truth.
"I am afraid so, we lost Stone." "Damn." Lily rose and crossed her arms over her chest, thinking hard. Perhaps now was not the time.
"Lily, what is it? Is something wrong?"
"No, nothings wrong I am just worried." James came over and placed a hand on her shoulder
"We all are, but we can't stop now. Fudge is slowly starting to believe us and maybe with the support of the ministry we can get somewhere." Lily turned around a tear falling down her face as she met his eyes
"I don't know what I would do if I lost you, that's all. Plus" She took a deep breath "I will not have my child grow up without a father!"
James eyes went wide behind his glasses as he stared at her "What? Did I just hear you right?"
Lily nodded smiling and without another moment hesitation James picked her up and spun her around.
"You mean, I am going to be a father?" At her nod he let out a whoop of joy and laughed kissing her "This is wonderful news Lily!"
"We just have to be really careful, I swear if anything was to happen to you, I don't know what I would do."
"Do not worry Lily I would never leave you a lone, ever"
She smiled and hugged him tightly
The next day James told Sirius and Remus. They both couldn't contain their laughter.
"I can't believe it, a second generation marauder!! This is wonderful we can teach him all of our tricks." Sirius couldn't contain his laughter at James' face.
"You stay away from my son Sirius Black or I will kill you"
Remus chuckled and shook his head. "Having a child with the girl who said she hated you and wanted nothing to do with you."
"I know! If you told me in 5th year Lily Evans, now Potter mind you, would be carrying my child I would of said you were mental." James smirked
"damn straight. Those were some good years guys." Added Sirius
"I miss it, now things are much more complicated" agreed Remus
9 months later.
"Congratulations Mrs. Potter you have a new baby son." Lily opened her eyes as James held the now screaming baby in his arms. She was exhausted, her red hair soaked with sweat that was forgotten the moment James leaned down and she met her eyes, only they were not hers. They belonged to her son.
"Harry Potter, meet your mother." James said very softly smiling
"He's beautiful.I can't believe it." She automatically knew it was love at first sight.
Note-I know its short but I wanted to specifically focus on how much Harry was to his parents, I love that scene!! Well the next Chapter or two are the sad ones so get tissues, I was crying when I wrote them.
