"Hey Prongs, whatcha doing?" Sirius asked as he walked into the 7th year boys once cold, frosty, December morning.
"Oh, just finishing packing." He said and Remus and Peter, who had followed Sirius in, gasped with him.
"But Prongs, we always spend Christmas here. Together. Since first year." Peter said and James sighed and sank down onto his bed. He reached into his pocket and puled out a little box.
"I know Pete, but I wanna propose to Lily on Christmas eve and she wants me to meet her parents." James said.
"Gee, for taking 7 years to pull her, you sure don't move slow, do you?" Sirius replied.
"It's nothing like that, we just found out yesterday that she's pregnant." There was an awkward silence till Sirius laughed and pounced on James, head locking him.
"Sirius! Geroff!" James laughed. Remus ushered Peter out the room so the two friends could share the moment.
"I'm sorry I haven't been spending time with you lately." James said.
"It's ok." Sirius lied.
"No really, I wanna make it up to you. That's why, I was wondering, would you be the baby's godfather?" James asked uncertainly.
"Of course I will!" Sirius answered being glomped by his friend.
"Now what's wrong Sirius?" Remu asked as the two ( Peter had also decided to go home after Jame's announcement) sat in the common room on Christmas eve.
"Nothing Rem, it's just, now James is going to be spending even more time with Lily and less with us. If she is due in July like he said, James is going to spend the rest of the year carrying her books around, fawning over her, talking to the baby!" He siad and Remus sighed and held Sirius close.
"He's just getting on with his life. He's not going away, he just has more, responsibilities now."
"How the hell do you do that?"
"What?"
"Know just the right thing to say." Sirius said and the just stared at each other before leaning forward into the kiss that started their relationship, which lasted roughly 2 years until they were torn apart as Sirius saw the hurt in Remus's eyes as they dragged him off to Azkaban...
Sequel coming when I have time to write it...
