Author's Note: Ok, so here it is, chapter ten! I just wanted to let everyone know that lately on my posts on xanga at the bottom I give out a bit of information on how far along with chapters I am and excuses for why it's taking so long, plus you get to find out about my day to day life, if anyone cares. Oh and for the chapter name:

1) I couldn't think of a name

2) Harry kind of isn't named yet..so

ON WITH THE STORY and sorry for the delay.

Oh and my xanga is: and if you read that will you please tell me in a comment that you're from so that I can figure out whether I should keep doing it.

James stayed in the waiting room for the rest of the morning. Every once in a while he would walk by Lily's room to see if he could go in, but every time he was shooed out, all of the nurses kept telling him that she wasn't ready for visitors. James thought that was a very stupid thing to say; after all James was not just any visitor, he was Lily's...

James didn't know what the status of their relationship was at the moment. They weren't married, and they weren't engaged, he knew that for sure. Lily had made sure that he knew that. The rejection still stung a little bit. 'We're not boyfriend and girlfriend, and saying we're friends is an understatement,' he thought. He arrived at the conclusion that James was Lily's significant other, and vice-versa. For now that would have to do.

James leaned forward, rubbing his temples. It had been one long day, and one long night. He got up to grab another coffee. It seemed like James was depending on coffee at the moment. He had never appreciated it this much before.

Mr. and Mrs. Evans walked in at that moment, looking a bit cheerful.

"Good morning," Mr. Evans said brightly.

"Good morning," James replied, sort of in a mumble. He was still very tired.

" Lily is allowed to have visitors now, they just told us when we walked past her room on the way here, and we've decided to let you see her first," Harold Evans said in his deep voice.

"We'll be downtown looking through the shops for a present for our grandson, we can't wait to see them again. Take care James!" Mrs. Evans said, waving goodbye and exiting the room.

"Goodbye you two, I'll see you when you get back," James called out, rubbing a hand through his hair. He was finally going to get to see Lily again.

The door was open just a crack and he could hear voices. He knocked twice on the door and waited.

"Come in," replied a cheery female voice.

James opened the door and went inside the sunny room.

Lily looked a bit better. She looked a lot stronger too. The nurse was showing her how to feed the baby.

James averted his eyes, "I can come back later," he said, and turned around.

"No stay James," Lily said with a smile on her face.

"I suppose that's enough milk for him at the moment," said the nurse quietly, pulling the baby gently away from Lily so she could pull up her hospital gown.

The nurse then laid the baby in Lily's arms and left.

James was still standing by the door.

"Come and sit down," Lily said motioning towards the chair beside her bed. James sat down cautiously.

"How are you feeling?" he asked, with a look of concern in his eyes.

"A lot better, but the doctors say I'm still pretty weak, and my immune system can't handle much for some reason. They also said that my blood pressure is really high, but it always is when I'm around you. At least it can't affect the health of the baby anymore," she replied with a smile.

James felt a little bit guilty. He supposed that's why she left; to protect the health of the baby.

"Have you thought of any names yet?" she asked.

"No, not really. That's been the last thing on my mind lately. Although, Sirius thought of one," James said, grinning.

"Oh and what is that?" Lily asked, an eyebrow cocked.

"Sirius," James replied, laughing a little bit. Lily laughed too, but then winced in pain.

"Are you ok?" James asked quickly, putting a hand on her shoulder.

"Yeah, I just still hurt really badly. I can't feel most of my legs, they told me I could be paralyzed from the knees down. Personally, I had never heard of that, but apparently it's possible," Lily said, breathing deeply.

All of the sudden there was a rumbling sound down the street. James got up and looked out the window.

"Oh no," he said quietly.

"What happened?" Lily asked, a look of worry crossing her face.

"Voldemort is attacking down the street, in plain sight of muggles, too!" James said quietly.

"He wouldn't come here would he?" Lily asked, looking scared, and holding the baby closer to her. He started wailing.

"I think we should get out of here, Lily," James said pulling out his wand.

"I can't leave yet, we're not supposed to leave for a couple of days!" Lily replied looking scared.

James shook his head, "I'm sorry Lily, but we've got to go," he said with a flick of his wand.

The next thing Lily knew she was in James's apartment. She had landed softly on the bed and the baby was in her arms sleeping peacefully, but not for long.

"JAMES! DO YOU KNOW THAT COULD HAVE BEEN SERIOIUSLY DANGEROUS FOR YOUR SON?" she screamed. James nodded.

The baby then woke up and started to cry. James held out his arms and Lily passed the baby over carefully. He immediately stopped crying.

"It would have been worse to stay there, Evans," James said coldly.

Lily looked very disappointed. "I thought we were past that," she said quietly, "We have a son, James, I think we're beyond surnames."

"I'll watch him for a while. You get your rest, you need it," James said, getting up and walking towards the door.

Lily smiled and rolled over, with difficulty. "If he starts to cry please come wake me up, he might be hungry, and James…thank you," she said closing her eyes and pulling the blankets over her.

James nodded and left the room, closing the door slowly behind him. The baby in his arms wriggled a bit and opened his eyes.

James took another good look at his son's eyes. He was amazed that a baby could have such vibrant eyes at birth. They were exactly like Lily's. Other than that he looked just like James did when he was a baby.

James looked up at the clock that was on the wall behind him. It was six, just about time for dinner.

Suddenly, the large apartment was filled with the cries of the baby. "Shh….please stop crying!" James whispered soothingly. James didn't know what to do, he started walking the baby around, that didn't help. He attempted to change the baby's diaper, but it was clean; so he went in and shook Lily awake.

Lily rolled over onto her back and started to rub her eyes. She winced as the wails of her son reached her ears, quickly sat up, resting her back against the headboard and held out her arms. James carefully passed the baby over.

"His diaper is fine and he's not tired, so that leaves him starving," James said laying down on the other side of the bed and attempting to rest. Lily was still in her hospital gown. She quickly pulled down the right side of it and attempted to feed the baby, but he wouldn't eat.

"James we should have stayed at the hospital. He's refusing to eat!" Lily said angrily.

"Well is there something else he could want, maybe he's teething," James said rubbing his temples.

"Newborns don't have teeth," Lily said shifting in the bed. She was regaining the feeling in her legs, but she knew it would be stupid to attempt to get up. She knew she wouldn't be able to walk or even stand up yet. She could barely move her legs to shift upwards.

Lily started to hand the baby over to James when she heard the door to the apartment open.

"James who would be coming to your apartment today? Everyone thinks I'm in the hospital, right?" Lily asked nervously.

James bit his lip, "I'm going to see who it is. If I call for Sirius then that's your cue to get out of here with the baby, do you have your wand?"

Lily nodded, "Where should I apparate to?" she asked.

"Go to Peter's," James replied getting up and going to answer the door.

Lily waited as she heard the door open. She heard a voice say her name, and then the voices faded and the door closed.

Minutes later the door to the bedroom opened. Lily screamed, it was only James though.

"Lily, I need to tell you something," he said quietly. He looked very sad.

"Ok," Lily replied quietly, "What is it?" she asked with a worried look towards the baby.

"Give me the baby first; Sirius is going to watch him for awhile," James said holding out his arms. Lily handed over the now sleeping baby, and James walked out the door out to where she assumed Sirius was. A few seconds later James returned.

He sat down next to Lily and wrapped an arm around her. "Lily…your parents…they're dead," he said.
