Five days later...

Harry blinked and slowly opened his eyes, looking out at the small gap in his bed hangings.

He felt the same the same twinge in his belly and pain in his back as the night before, except this time it was a little bit stronger. He got up and put it off as a normal part of pregnancy as he put the concealing charm on himself and got dressed.

The pain slowly worsened and it was potions class when Harry finally realized something was wrong.

He hung onto the desk as Snape drawled on and Hermione looked at him worriedly. He just smiled and she turned around and carried on making the potion.

He stood up as the pain lessened slightly and was just putting in his crushed dung beetles when he felt a sharper pain and something wet between his legs and soaking his robes. He looked down and saw water gushing out onto the floor.

He just stood looking in shock for a few moments till Hermione came over to him again.

"Why's the floor wet?" She asked and Harry closed his eyes in pain.

"I think my water just broke." He said and she gasped softly.

"Now, What would you put in if you wanted to reverse the effects of the potion?" Snape asked and Hermione's hand shot up into the air, not to answer, but to try and get Harry out the class.

"Anyone?" He asked ignoring it as she waved it frantically.

Harry looked up and saw Draco looking worriedly at him.

'What's wrong?' He mouthed at him and Harry gripped his concealed stomach in reply.

Draco paled; forsaking all the secrecy they had kept so well, he raised his hand.

"Yes Draco?" Snape asked.

"I think Harry's in labour sir." He said and there were whispers all around the dungeon. Draco had no time to be embarrassed and quickly jumped over the desk and helped his lover up.

Hermione took his other arm while Ron stood dumbfounded with the rest of the class

"Granger, go send Hedwig to his parents, tell them to meet us at St mungos, quickly!" Draco said and Hermione ran off

"Come on Harry, let's go, it'll be alright." Draco said reassuringly as he helped Harry into the fireplace.

"St mungos!" He shouted and both disappeared.

After sending the letter, Hermione quickly flooed to St Mungos and found Draco arguing with the Matron. She frowned and went up to them. "I'm sorry sir, you said yourself you aren't the father or a family member, you can't come in!" She said.

"Excuse me?" Hermione asked and the matron turned to her.

"Yes dear."

"Don't even try Granger!" Draco snapped.

"Hush you! Now what is it young lady?" She asked.

"My friend just went in and I know I'm not family but could I please go see him just until his parents get here? I already owled them." She asked and the woman looked sceptical.

"You've got a Hogwarts uniform on, don't you have an afternoon lesson?" She asked and Hermione nodded slowly.

"I'm sorry but you can't, you can see him later after the baby is born." She said and Hermione sighed and dragged a protesting Draco away.

6 hours later...

By the time the aurours got back to headquarters from the raid, it was already dark. James was just thinking of going home, getting into a nice long hot bath and maybe coaxing Lily to join him when he looked up to find a snowy white owl sitting on the secretary's desk: Hedwig.

As soon as she spotted him she flew over in a panic and started urging James to take the letter. "What is it?" Lily asked coming up next to him and he opened it.

"Oh shit!" He whispered as he read over the quickly written scrawl:

Mr and Mrs Potter.

Harry gone into labour. Come to St Mungos. A.S.A.P

Hermione.

"How long ago did this come?" He asked the lady and she looked up.

"Oh, bout 7 hours ago, why?" She asked and it took all of James's patience not to strangle her.

"Hey Prongs. Wait up!" Sirius said as James and Lily both prepared to apperate.

"Can't Sirius!" James said and stuffed the letter into Sirius's hands before disappearing.

Sirius read the letter and felt a thrill inside him. He apperated home and lay on the bed daydreaming. He got up and went to take a shower, but as he stood with the warm water running down his back, he felt guilty. Here he was enjoying himself while somewhere in St Mungos Harry was (most probably painfully) giving birth to his son. He quickly got out and dressed and apperated to St Mungos.

"Where are they?" Harry asked the young beautiful nurse as she wiped his forehead.

"I'm not sure." She said and left to get some ice chips for him.

At that moment, both Lily and James hurried into the room looking worried sick.

"I'm sorry we took so long baby, we only got the letter now." Lily said apologetically and as the contraction passed, Harry slumped back down on the bed.

"I don't want to have a baby anymore." He said, looking pleadingly at his mother while his father took his hand.

"It's a little bit too late for that." James said and Harry didn't reply as another contraction racked through his body. He squeezed James's hand and James was sure the bones had cracked.

"Don't worry, it will soon be over. How far dilated is he?" Lily asked the Matron who had just entered the room.

She bent down to check again and looked up. "2 and a half centimetres." She said and Harry growled.

"You're telling me I've been doing this for 8 hours only to half a centimetre!" He said through gritted teeth and she looked at him sympathetically.

"Actually, the tests show you were in a mild labour since about yesterday evening." She said and then left the room after Harry screamedthrew an IVC sack at her head.

"Is there anything I can get you honey?" Lily asked soothingly and Harry shook his head.

"I'll be back in a minute, ok?" James said and Harry nodded and bit his lip.

"Are you sure it will be alright?" Lily asked and her husband nodded.

"He'll be fine, just rest a few minutes, we've had a long day." James said as they sat in one of the rooms that were made for visitors who had to stay overnight to see a loved one (a rare occasion).

"Ok, if you're sure." Lily said and lay down on the bed, James next to her. He wrapped his arms round her waist and both fell asleep immediately.

As Sirius entered the corridor where he had been directed he heard screaming. He went closer and saw his godson was the source of the noise. He hurried over and Harry stopped and looked at him, his eyes filled with pain, sweat soaking his brow, tears running down his cheeks.

"Why are you here alone? Where are your parents?" He asked and Harry choked back a sob.

"They said they would be back in a minute, that was a half hour ago." He said.

"I'll go get them." He said and went to leave but Harry took his hand.

"Please stay." Harry pleaded and Sirius sat down next his bed and stroked his hand.

"It hurts so badly Sirius," He said agonizingly. He could almost feel the pain as Harry spoke.

"I know babes, I know, but try not to focus on the pain, what do you want to talk about? How about names? What are you going to call this little one?" He asked.

"I'm not sure, I have a few in mind, but I want to see him first." Harry said and Sirius nodded.

"What are they?" He asked and after a contraction had passed, he told Sirius the 5 boys' names.

"Those are nice names." He said and Harry smiled for the first time in about 9 hours.

"You really think so?"

"Yeah." Sirius replied and a nurse finally dared to come back into the room. She checked Harry and then without saying anything left.

"What do you think that was about?" He asked and Sirius shrugged and looked under the sheet over Harry's lower half.

"Urggh!" He said as he looked down at the small opening that was forming and the big bloodied mess.

"What does it look like?" He asked and Sirius shuddered.

"You don't want to know!" He said.

"Yeah, now that you mention it, I don't." He said and another nurse entered the room and checked him.

"How far?" Harry asked.

"5 centimetres, you're moving." She said and left the room.

"You're getting closer." Sirius said, "it won't be long till it's over." He said and to both of their surprise, he kissed Harry's forehead.

Both blushed and neither really had time to hold up a conversation as the contractions started getting closer together and stronger.

As many as contractions as their were, it still took about another 2 or 3 hours before the midwife finally said Harry was ready to move to the delivery room.

Sirius followed and as soon as he could, took Harry's hand again.

"Just get it out, please?" Harry begged and the healer finally entered.

"Hello Mr Potter, I thought I'd be seeing you soon." He said and Harry glared at him.

"Shut up and get this baby out of me!" Harry snapped and as the healer just smiled, Sirius was sure he had a death wish.

"On the next contraction, push, ok?" He said and Harry nodded.

The contraction hit and Sirius urged him on as he screamed for dear life.

"I can't do this!" He sobbed after a half hour of pushing.

"Just a few more big pushes and it will all be over." Sirius reassured him and Harry pushed with all he had left, feeling like he was being turned inside out.

"I see the head." The healer yelled and Sirius looked down and saw something coming out of the area in between Harry's legs.

"Almost over," Sirius said and As Harry pushed again, a loud cry filled the air

"The head is out. Merlin, crying when he's not even born yet. Just one more for the shoulders." The healer said and after one more long hard push the healer held up a screaming little boy with a few locks of sticky up black hair and his small face scrunched up.

They cut the cord and wrapped him in a blanket before handing him to Harry. He exhaustedly looked at his small son who now stopped crying and stared at him.

"He's so beautiful." Harry said softly and the midwife took the baby away to clean him up.

"Just like you." Sirius said and as looked down, Harry looked up and they kissed on the lips deeply.

"I've been wanting to do that for months." Harry said with a smile on his face.

"Me too." Sirius replied and they kissed again and deepened it until they had to break apart so the staff could take Harry back to a room.
