"Hey, Lily?" James called.

"What?" Lily shouted back.

"Hold on, let me come to you so we don't have to keep shouting." Soon, James emerged through the door and smiled at his wife, who beamed in response. "Are you feeling alright?"

"I'm fine James. It's not as if I'm 7 months pregnant or anything!" she laughed. He smiled in return.

"Want any more of those weird cravings of yours?" Lily shook her head.

"Nope, not hungry right now. Actually, I've been meaning to speak with you about something." Lily started.

"Really? Me too! You first." James replied.

"No, you first! What did you want to talk about?"

"Uh-uh-uh," James said, "You started it, so you talk first."

Lily snorted. "Fine. Little Harry is going to - well - how do I put this?"

"Actually, Lily, I believe we are thinking the same thing." She looked at him. "Should we invite him to dinner to tell him?"

"How did you know?" Lily asked, looking startled.

"I see how you have been wanting to talk to him when he comes around and Harry is mentioned. Plus, I read your journal!"

"James Potter!" She stood up and was about to grab a book to hit him with when he smiled and sat her back down.

"I actually read it upside down while you were writing it and I liked - no loved - the idea! Want me to invite him tonight, or tomorrow?"

Lily frowned at him. "Tonight. Hold on, we aren't through yet!" James came back to the door. "You read it upside down?"

"Yes, dear. Now you know how talented I really am!" He left and Lily burst into laughter.

"Hey, you two! How are the future parents doing?" Sirius asked, walking through the door. He looked around. "Where's Remus and Peter?"

"We didn't invite them, Sirius, just you." Lily stated.

"Umm, what did I do this time?" Sirius asked backing away.

Lily and James laughed. "You were just being yourself," Lily smiled. "Think of this as a reward for being a great friend to the both of us."

Sirius frowned slightly. "Reward? I don't need a one. My reward is having your friendships in return!"

"Thanks, Padfoot, but I think you will like this one." James said, beaming. "It was actually Lily's idea, just so you know."

Sirius looked at Lily. "Whatever it is, Lily, thank you, but I don't want it."

Lily looked upset for a moment, then said, "I hope you change your mind, Sirius, because we both really want you to have this."

There was silence for a few moments before James said, "Well, dinner is on the table."

They all stood and went to eat, Sirius looking quite confused. He sat and began to eat thinking, 'What in the world are they wanting to give me. It must be important because when I said I didn't want it they both looked upset!'

"Sirius, please, don't say you don't want this. Listen to what it is first," Lily said, for she could hold it in no longer. Sirius looked up at her, ignoring James who was staring at him. He nodded and she continued. "It's not a physical gift, Sirius. Since you are not a blood brother to us, you can not be Harry's uncle. And you are like a brother to both of us...Oh, Padfoot, we want you to be Harry's Godfather!"

Sirius was shocked. This was the last thing he had suspected. He slowly stood fron his chair and walked around the table to Lily and threw his arms around her.

"Lily, I'm so sorry!"

"Are you saying no, Sirius?" James asked, looking upset and angry.

Sirius pulled away from Lily. "What? No! I'm saying yes! I'm sorry because," he looked back at Lily, "I told you I didn't want it. I want this very much, though I do have a question."

"And what might that be?" Lily asked, smiling through her shiny eyes.

"You said that James and I couldn't be in the same room together with Harry. How is this going to work?"

Lily hit Sirius on the arm. "You know I would never really do that! So, you will be his Godfather?"

Sirius nodded quickly. "Of course! I'm sorry I was an ass and didn't let you tell me what you were asking."

"That's alright, Sirius," James said. "You have no idea how much better we feel knowing that Harry has someone else he can turn to."

"What? Why would he need someone else?" Sirius asked.

Lily laughed uncomfortably. "Sirius, we're both Aurors, and with all the Dark Magic around... Once I'm able, we will both be going back to work. Peter and Remus have already agreed to babysit while we three are at work."

"Of course you're coming back to work! You two have no idea how boring it is! I'm the only Auror right now and you know that they won't allow us to try and catch a Death Eater without at least three on one because of their powers! But, I still don't see how he would need someone else to talk to."

"Sirius, you are good at getting out of tight spots. Should anything happen to us, as Harry's Godfather, he goes into your custody." Lily stated.

"Whoa, first of all, nothing is going to happen to you! Second, why in the world would you trust me with your child?"

"First of all, Sirius, something could happen to us. We have a very dangerous job! And you, like I just said, are good at getting away! Secondly, we trust you with Harry because we trust you with our lives as well. You have helped us and saved our lives in more ways than you know." Lily said, smiling at him fondly.

Sirius, however, frowned. "I have saved your lives at work, but you two have saved mine as well! That doesn't count!"

"No, Sirius, they do count. As well as the fact that you are the one who finally made me see I do care for James!"

"What?" James shouted. Lily and Sirius smiled mischieviously. "What did you do?"

"Hey, you two are together now, so what does it matter?" Sirius said quickly.

"It matters," said James, "because I want to know what happened."

"Oh, Sirius just came and hexed me." Lily said.

"You what?" James shouted. He was about to stand when Lily shook her head.

"James, sit. He was fed up with you moping around after I said something to you. So he came and did the full body bind on me and told me that If I stayed still and listened to him he would let me go. So I listened. He told me that you had loved me since our first year and that if I hurt you one more time he would come and do a much worse hex on me. He then let me go. It's actually amazing I let him in this house," she laughed, winking at Sirius.

James rounded on him. "What else did you say? I know what night that was! You weren't fed up, you were pissed off!"

He stopped smiling. "Well, yes, I was. James, that was the first time you had let it get to you that badly! I had never seen you cry before, at least not over Lily!"

"What did you say?" James asked in a dangerous voice. Lily and Sirius both looked shocked.

"James, calm down. He told me that you were crying and that I had gone too far. He didn't tell me any of your secrets or anything. You told me all your secrets alone, I don't see why you are so upset about this!" Lily said, frowning at her husband.

"I'm upset because no one ever mentioned this to me before. Though I had always wondered why you apologized the next day before taking me out at Hogsmeade."

Lily laughed. "Even Sirius didn't know I didn't believe him. I went up to your room when he left and heard you two talking. He was trying to make you forget about me and you were still crying."

"You heard that?" Sirius asked, going pale.

"It's okay, I forgive the name calling. You were upset." Lily smiled.

"I wondered where you had gone that night, Sirius. Now it all makes sense," James murmured. He stood and gave Sirius a hug. "Thank you, Padfoot, For everything. Now I have no doubt that my son is in good hands, not that I had any before."

Sirius smiled. "I just hope he feels the same about me!"

Lily laughed. "Sirius, he's mine and James's son. He will love you just as we do, I have no doubt about that."

Thank you to aerohead1890 for your review. I'm glad you like it. I'm writing three stories at once, but posting one at a time. I'll try to hurry, though!
