"Tired Sirius? Were you are James out again late last night?" Remus asked and Sirius, finishing his loud yawn, shook his head. They were sitting outside a little muggle café while they were supposed to be on duty in one of the quietest areas.

"Nope, Prongs was happily sleeping while I had to help his poor screaming son through labour." He said shooting a glance at James who grinned.

"Is Harry alright?" Remus asked worriedly and Peter looked excited and anxious.

"Yeah, he was alright this morning." James said.

"You owe me big Prongs." Sirius said leaning back on the two legs of his chair. "This is the third time I've almost got killed by your family in birthing, twice by Lily, nowonce by Harry."

"I still can't believe someone can almost miss the birth of their first son, then still miss the second. Then be asleep for the delivery of your first grandchild." Remus said shaking his head.

"You're getting your payment Padfoot. Poorboy is going to suffer for the rest of his life with 'Sirius' as his middle name." James replied.

Remus looked at his watch. "Our shift should be over soon, how bout Prongs takes us to see the new mother?" The rest all agreed with nods and murmurs.

The four marauders walked down the white maternity corridor, eager to see the newborn. They went into the room and they saw Harry was holding a baby. He looked up.

"Hey! My first real visitors all day." He smiled and before any of them could blink, Sirius was at Harry's side, holding the baby and cooing over him.

"Calm down Sirius, he's not going to disappear!" Remus said.

"I can't help it! He's so cute!" Sirius said and the baby giggled.

"So, what was it like?" Peter asked eagerly. "You know, actually having a baby?"

"Why, are you considering wormtail?" Sirius asked and Peter blushed as the 4 others laughed.

"No Sirius, but I thought it might be useful for you and Moony to know sometime." He replied and Sirius and Remus both turned pink.

The door burst open and Hermione burst into the room. She looked around disappointedly.

"The least you can do is smile and pretend you are happy for me." Harry said as she came over to them.

Suddenly she hugged Harry very tightly. "Of course I'm happy for you! I'm just disappointed I missed the birth!" She said still squeezing him.

"Ouch, Mione, can't breathe." Harry managed to say and Hermione, letting him go, grinning sheepishly.

"Well, we had better go, else Mcollagen will have our heads." Remus said looking at his watch and Sirius gave Harry back Crosby before the 4 marauders apperated away.

"So, what's his name?" Hermione asked and Harry handed her him.

"I wasn't sure what to call him, but after he was born I decided on Crosby." He said and Hermione smiled.

"Good choice, so tell me what exactly happened." She said and Harry launched into the story of what happened after she had left, leaving out the kiss.

After work Lily and James quickly went home, had a shower, a sleep and then apperated over to the hospital again.

They were just about to go into the room when the healer walked out. "Ah! Mr and Mrs Potter, good to see you. Harry's busy with a visitor but I need to talk to you in my office please." He said and they followed him. Lily gave James a questioning look and he shrugged.

They entered the small room and the healer closed the door behind them before signalling them to sit down.

"Can I offer you anything, tea? Coffee?" He asked and they declined. "Well, I take you're in a hurry to see your son, so I won't stall you long. Your grandson thankfully is ok, but your son, I'm not so sure." He said and Lily and James both paled.

"What is it?" Lily managed to ask.

"It's not life threatening, well, it might be someday. You see, there were, complications in the labour we found last night. Something we rarely see in cases of male pregnancy." He said and took a deep breath.

"The male body is not designed for gestation, never mind the birthing, and sometimes the strain of it can cause the body to go into desperate measures, doing anything and everything it can to make itself as normal as possible, sometimes in the early months, it can go as far as detaching the baby from the body, suffocating and killing the child.

This did not happen but almost did somewhere round the 4th month, I'm guessing when you first came in here. The reason he didn't lose it was because of a hormone from the child's body miraculously stopped it. The problem now is that this may cause problems if he wants more children." He said.

"So basically, he'ssterile now?" James said and the doctor shook his head.

"No Mr Potter, if he wants he can still have children, it's just risky, see, the hormone that stopped the baby being detached wastestosterone. I just have to warn you, another male child and he'll survive it. But a female, and him and that child are both as good as dead." He said somewhat sorrowfully. "But anyway other than that, his breathing should become normal once his internal organs shift back into place and he should change back to male reproductive organs soon." He said and stood up to let them out.

"Do you think we should tell him?" lily said and James shook his head,

"Better not, it'll scare the life out of him, it already scared me." James said, shuddering.

"You're bluffing!" Lily and James heard Hermione say.

"I'm not, honest, I'll bet you a sickle it's true."

"I believe you, just how the hell did you manage to get into such a position." Hermione argued with an avid but shocked expression on her face.

"To be completely honest, it's nine months on and I sill can't figure it out my self." Harry said, shaking his head.

It was then that Hermione noticed Lily and James. "Hello Mrs Potter, Mr Potter, long time, no see." She said and Lily and James smiled back.

"Do you want to know the rumours that are going round or do you want to hear them yourself or from the rest of the school?" Hermione asked and Harry shrugged.

"There were rumours going on that it's Draco's child last night."

"That's to be expected when you go around helping your 'worst-enemy'."

"That Justin raped you over the summer and that it's his." Hermione said and Harry stopped her.

"Hold on! If they're all like that, I don't wanna know anymore." He said and Hermione nodded.

Sirius, hoping to come in peace to see his godson, came into the room and sat down.

"I'll prove I'm not lying!" Harry said and handed Crosby to Sirius. Hermione looked up at Sirius, then at Crosby, then at Sirius again and her hand flew to her mouth.

"Oh my god!" She said softly, as if trying to take the all the information in. "Oh dear sweet mercy!" She said and Harry took a glass of water from next to his bed and splashed her with it. "Thanks, I needed that." She said and immediately took him from Sirius and he let out an unpleasant whimper.

"Sorry, I think he's a bit grouchy because of the constant interruptions and unpleasantness this morning." Harry said, as Crosby opened his eyes, clearly not happy with all the attention.

"What unpleasantness?"

"Well, would you be happy if you were in a nice squishy waterbed for nine and a half months then suddenly you get pushed out and attacked by the media when you're a few hours old?" He said and Hermione gasped.

"In here?"

"No, out in the nursery this morning, the photographers all burst in, started taking pictures till the nurses could get them out, by the time that happened, every child in that room were screaming their heads off." He said. "Took bout an hour to get all of them calm and asleep again."

"I had better go, Mcgonagall said I had 3 hours and I've been here for at least 6." Hermione said and hastily went out the room.
