'Come on, Lily, push!' James encouraged his panting wife.
A year after they wedding, they were expecting their first child. He looked down at the fainted Sirius. He had warned his best friend not to come inside, but he hadn't listened. Result: not even two minutes after he had entered the St. Mungos' room, he had fainted.
Hearing Lily groan, James focused his attention on her.
'Come, on, baby, push!'
He winced as she squashed his hand, but didn't say anything.
'I can see a head' one of the healers announced.
James smiled to Lily.
'You hear that, Lils? He's coming!' he said. 'Now, please, Lily, just one last push.'
Lily groaned even louder, but managed to push one last time. They heard a baby cry and the healer presented them their son.
'Lily, oh, look how beautiful he is.'
Lily laughed. 'He has your hair'
James gazed adoringly at his wife, who now held the baby in her hands.
'You did a great job', he proudly said.
Lily smiled as James leaned in to kiss her. Just as he pulled apart, the baby opened his eyes. Emerald green ones.
James smiled fondly at him, and said. 'Hello, there, Harry.'
Suddenly, Lily looked worried. 'James', she asked softly 'What time is it?'
James' eyes darkened as he answered '11:55'
Tears filled Lily's eyes, but yet she smiled bravely.
'I won't let him get near you or our son', James said. 'I love you guys too much to ever let anything happen to you.'
'Sometimes, love isn't enough', Lily said as a lonely tear slid down her cheek.
James wiped it away with his thumb. 'That, dear, is one thing you can't be sure about.'
