"Okay, watch it…don't worry, I'm here! Move please, lady with a baby!" James quickly made his way through the crowd, trying to make a path for Lily. They were heading to an Order meeting, a group of people who fought against Aurors.

"James, you're acting as if I'm a truck with a huge load backing up." Lily sighed as she took her seat at the table.

"I don't want anyone to hurt the baby!" he cried sitting down next to her, "Are you okay? Do you need water? Are you hot? Cold? Do you need a blanket? Maybe some tea?"

"James," she cried, "I'm fine!"

"Well, the baby is due any day now and I want you to be comfortable!" James said as Sirius walked in.

"Hey, Lil," Sirius smiled, "How's little Sirius Jr."

"For the hundredth time, Sirius," Lily sighed, "His name is Harry!"

"That's a nice name. Is his middle name Sirius?" he asked sitting down.

"No, it's Harry James." Lily smiled.

"Oh," Sirius frowned, "I like Harry Sirius."

"Sirius, how would you like to be the Godfather instead?" Lily suggested, "We've been thinking about that a lot."

"Hmm, Godfather?" he asked, "Does that mean I'm kind of like his father…but Godly?"

Lily rolled her eyes, "It means you're his guardian if something was to happen to us and it means you're like someone he can trust."

"I'm up to that!" he smiled.

"Great," James smiled, "Where's Moony and Wormtail?"

"Wormtail couldn't make it for some reason and Moony is out doing business." Sirius said, referring to the Order's business, which usually consisted of tracking down Death Eaters, whereabouts, and what Voldemort's next plans were.

…

The meeting began and they discussed many important topics. The Order spoke of everything possible. When it ended, Lily and James were about to leave, when Dumbledore asked them to stay after. Once everyone was cleared out, he sat down and prepared to deliver the news.

"So, you're expecting any day now?" Dumbledore smiled at Lily.

"Yes," James smiled.

"Have you decided on a name?" Dumbledore asked.

"Harry James." Lily replied.

"That's lovely," Dumbledore smiled and paused, "I know you're probably wondering why I asked you to stay after."

"Yes," they nodded their heads, clueless as to what Dumbledore was about to tell them.

"One of our spies has recently discovered one of Voldemort's plans." Dumbledore began, "There was a prophecy made…"

…

"Ow!!!" Lily cried, sitting up in the middle of the night. She immediately leaned over and shook James, "James, I think it's time!"

James didn't respond when Lily shook him and she started to get impatient.

"James!" she yelled as she stood up and put on her shoes, "James, we need to go to the hospital!"

"Why?" he asked, his eyes halfway open.

"Because I'm pregnant and about to have a baby!" she said, grabbing the car keys, "Have you forgotten already!?"

"You mean," he asked, jumping up, "It's time!?"

"Yes!"

"But, we've got another week?"

"JAMES!"

"Lillian, I checked the calendar and our appointment is one week from now at three o'clock…"

"The bloody baby is going to come when he wants." Lily yelled, "And he wants to come right this bloody second!"

"Oh! We've got to get to the hospital!" he said, running towards the closet.

"You're so intelligent," Lily said, grabbing her stomach as she felt another contraction, "Don't we have to time the contractions?"

"No, if the baby wants to come…he wants to come!" James repeated what she said and grabbed her hand and lead her down the staircase, "We don't have enough time to time contractions!"

"But James, I just remember we have to time them-"

"Lily," he said stopping her.

"What?" she asked taking deep breathes.

"I think I can tell when a baby is coming." He replied staring at her.

"Right!" she said as he grabbed her suitcase and they hurried to the car.

James drove as quickly as he could to the hospital and soon he found himself parking the car.

"Okay, Lils," he said parking, "We'll hurry in there."

"James-"

"Do you think our doctor is in now?"

"James-"

"I liked that doctor."

"James-"

"It's two in the morning, of course she's not there."

"James, the contractions stopped."

James slammed on the breaks and turned towards Lily, "What?"

"The contractions," she blushed, "They stopped."

"You mean to tell me," he sighed, "That he's not coming?"

Lily shook her head, "I don't think so, hunny."

"Well, we're here now so you're going to have to pretend that there still are contractions." James shrugged as he finished parking and turned off the car.

"What?" she asked a little angry, "I'm not going to pretend that I'm having contractions just because we're in the neighborhood! The baby will come when he thinks it's time!"

"But we're already here!" James pouted, "And I don't want to have to drive back next week!"

"James," she glared.

"Fine." He sighed, "Come on, we're going to get you checked."

"Checked!?" she asked as James got out of the car.

"What if the contractions are just taking a break?" he asked as he helped her get out of the car.

"Contractions don't just 'take a break'!" she cried.

"Lillian," he said taking her hand, "Don't you trust me?"

"What do you think the doctor is going to say when you tell him that I felt like a check up at two in the morning?" she argued as he lead her to the hospital doors.

"Like I said," he said opening the doors for her and grinning, "Tell them you're having contractions."

"James!" she hissed, "I'm not going to lie about this!"

"Okay, maybe I'm a little excited," he stopped, "Why do we have to wait until he's ready!?"

Lily rolled her eyes before grabbing her stomach, "Ouch!"

"That's great, Lil," James grinned and kissed her cheek, "That sounded really good."

"James," she said gripping his arm, "It hurts!"

"Your so talented." James whispered before taking her hand and strolling down the halls, "Want to grab a bite to eat?"

"James," she said holding her stomach again, "I think my waters about to break?"

"We'll buy another one." He shrugged.

"James!" she said grabbing his face, "The baby is coming for real!"

"Oh!" James screamed and rushed her down the hallway.

…

"Good job, Mrs. Potter," the nurse said putting a pillow behind her back, "You'll be able to see your son in a few moments."

Lily smiled weakly at James as the nurse left the room.

"You did great," he said kissing his forehead, "You're going to be an amazing mom."

"And you'll be an incredible father!" she replied.

"This is really exciting!" he said jumping up and down on his feet, "Sirius and the gang are already on their way."

"Of course," Lily smiled before sighing sadly.

"What's wrong, Love?" James asked quickly.

"I was just…" Lily started to cry, "I just remembered what Dumbledore told us. With the Longbottom's having this baby this time and us…it could be anyone of us!"

"Lily, love, don't worry about that now," James said hugging her, "We'll sort everything out. Why don't you get some rest?"

"That sounds like a good idea," she said, drying her eyes.

"Okay, I'll step out for a bit." James said hugging her one last time before leaving the room so his wife could sleep.

James walked down the hall until he reached the baby nursery. It didn't take him long to find his son…he already had a head full of hair—just like his father. James ruffled his hair slightly and smiled.

"So there's the little lad," Sirius asked from behind him.

James turned around and saw his three best friends, "Hey guys!"

"How's Lily?" Sirius asked, staring at the many sleeping babies.

"She's resting." James sighed.

"He already looks like you," Remus smiled as he stepped forward.

"Has Lily seen him yet?" Peter asked.

"No," he replied as a nurse walked into the room and picked up Harry. James walked around and met the nurse to hold his baby.

"You must be the proud parent," she smiled.

"Indeed I am," he said holding Harry, "Can I take him to my wife?"

"Certainly," she replied, "A nurse will be up later to take little Harry to bed."

"Thanks," James said. The four men walked down the hallways, James holding Harry as if he was glass.

"Mommy!" Sirius called when they entered the room, "Baby's here!"

Lily, who must not have been sleeping, sat up immediately, "Let me hold him!"

James carefully walked towards Lily and handed her Harry. Lily carefully held him in her arms.

"He's adorable." She smiled, "And he looks just like you."

Harry slowly opened his eyes and examined the room around him.

"Look, Lil," Remus grinned, "He has your eyes."

"He does, doesn't he," she smiled.

"Yeah," James smiled, "Those lovely emerald eyes…"

"I love him so much." Lily stated.

"We all do!" Sirius laughed, "That kid is going to be spoiled rotten between all of us."

"Yeah," James laughed, "Between Quidditch, pranks, food…he'll have it all."

"He's our future Marauder." Remus laughed.

"We'll just have to see how things go," Lily said sadly.

"Everything will turn out fine," James said kissing Lily's forehead. James closed his eyes shortly and silently said a prayer to himself.

…

I know a lot of you are going to be asking why I stopped here. I know that all of you know what's going to happen from here and I felt as if I would just drag it out if I continued it/went farther. Some of you may have wanted me to a) go to their death or b) go until Harry get's to school or w/e. But I've always wanted to end this story with Harry being born. Hope ya'll liked it ;-)

Thanks again,
