Chapter 2: Waiting

James paced outside the hospital wing door. He wandered how long it took for a woman to have a baby. He figured that she would have had him by now, but there was still no news from Madam Pomphry. So here he was, standing outside in the hallway, looking nervous and pacing around impatiently. James just reached the other side of the hall and was just getting ready to turn back towards the hospital door when a hand lightly touched his shoulder.

"Will you sit down mate?" Remus asked, putting pressure on James shoulder so he wouldn't continue pacing. James turned and frowned.

"How am I supposed to sit when Lilly is in there giving birth to my son?" "I'm going to be a father!" James exclaimed ecstatically. Remus beamed up at him.

"So we herd," he said, still smiling.

"We?" James asked. He turned and saw Sirius and Peter standing behind him. Sirius had a grin about a mile wide spread across his face, and Peter's beetle blue eyes were staring intently in to James face.

"Dude, so she's about ready to pop huh mate?" Sirius questioned, grinning broadly and slapping James hard on the back. James smiled back.

"Yeah, but I didn't think it would take this long." Remus smiled,

"Giving birth takes time."

"Yeah, I just hope that he looks like Lilly," Sirius stated.

"And why is that?" James asked, glaring at his friend.

"Because your ugly," Sirius said, laughing loudly and smiling at his best friend. James gave him the evil fish eye.

"I resent that," he said laughing. It was good to have his friends there with him. They always seemed to be able to lighten the mood.

"So, what shall we do while we wait?" Remus asked. James looked around the hallway. He had to do something or else he was going to go mad.

"We could go play a prank on Mr. Philtch," Sirius said, grinning mischievously. James shook his head.

"I should probably stay around here, in case he is born any time soon." "Lilly would never forgive me if I left before he was born." Sirius nodded.

"Remember when you first found out that she was pregnant?" Sirius asked. James groaned and looked at Sirius.

"I tried to forget," he said, sitting down, and letting his mind wander back in to the past.

Authors note: I know I ended it with a cliffhanger, but every Chapter is going to be a different flash back, and this Chapter would be very long if I started writing there memories. Pleas read and review. I really want some input, and if you like this story, tell your friends. When I receive reviews, it gives me motivation to want to write more.
