Godfather
Lily apparated home, "James, James" she shouted, desperate to see him, to kiss him, to finally have her husband back.
"In the garden" she heard him shout
She went out into the Garden and saw James sitting on wooden patio chair, with Sirius sitting next to him, playing peek-a-boo with Harry
"Hi" she said slowly still not too fond of Sirius
"Hi" said James "how is my darling mother?"
"She's fine"
"In a good mood?" he asked knowing full well why she went to see his mother and wanting to know if they had her blessing.
"Yes" said Lily then she leaned down close to his face, "very forgiving"
James beamed when he heard this.
"We'll talk later?" he asked
"Talk, that wasn't what I had in mind" she said with a glint in her eye.
"Uh hi, Lily" said Sirius
Lily stood up, not looking amused in the least
"Black," she said not rudely, but not friendly either, "What are you doing here? Came to see James?"
"No, I didn't know he was here"
"Oh"
"I came to apologize"
"I'm uh just going to take Harry inside, he... he uh needs his nappy changed" said James before practically running inside with Harry, he was all too aware of what could happen if both Lily and Sirius lost their tempers.
"I'm sorry, really sorry about what happened at the hospital. I didn't realize I was being so rough, I didn't mean to hurt you, I swear I'm not like that. I'm not like m..." said Sirius
"Your father? You're not like your father" Lily finished for him
"Yeah"
"You sure acted like it"
Sirius hung his head and looked so ashamed that Lily felt so guilty, she knew how much Sirius hated his family and was terrified of turning into one of them.
"I'm sorry" she sighed, "I know that you are nothing like him"
"Maybe I am, that's how he treats people"
"You're not, trust me. Your father would have slapped me and dragged me by the hair"
"I wasn't much better"
"Look I am not going to stand here and boost your already overly large ego" said Lily causing Sirius to smile, "You got a little rough, you were mad you had every right to be. You didn't know what was going on."
"I am sorry"
"It's fine, let's just put it behind us"
"Really?"
"Yes" said Lily, "anyway I've been meaning to ask you something anyway"
"What? Whatever it is I'll do it"
"What makes you think it's something I want you to do?"
"Well, what is it then?"
"It's something you have to want to do and take it seriously"
"Okay, tell me"
"Harry needs a godfather, someone to take care of him if something happens to me and James"
"And you want me"
"Yes, and I know James does as well he just didn't want to say anything because I was mad at you. So..."
"Of course I'll do, I love that kid. Next generation of Marauders I'm telling you. Lil' Prongs junior. Wow I can't believe you want me. I can't believe you'd trust me that much after..."
"You have a temper, I can't exactly criticize you for that"
"I s'pose, Harry's gonna grow up with the legendary Lily Evan temper"
"Yep" said Lily then she muttered to herself, "Hopefully not Evans"
"So what is going on with you and Prongs? He won't tell me, and you know I need to know everything"
Lily just laughed, "Nothing really"
"He didn't go back to his flat last night. Did he stay here?"
"Maybe" said Lily coyly
"He did," said Sirius playfully
"I'll never tell"
"You will" then without warning Sirius started tickling Lily mercilessly
"AHHHHHH" squealed Lily, causing James to come back outside with Harry to make sure his wife and best friend weren't killing each other.
"Tell me" laughed Sirius
"Never" shrieked Lily, "Jaaaaaaaammmmmmmmmmeeeeeeeeessssssssssss"
"Well I see you two are getting along better now" he said
"HHheeeeeeeeellllllllllllpppppppppppp" squealed Lily
"No I think we'll just watch, won't we Harry?"
"Tell me" said Sirius
"Alright, fine. Yes he did" shouted Lily
Sirius finally stopped tickling Lily, "Will this be a permanent arrangement?" asked Sirius
"I hope so"
"Well I should be taking off. I'll come and see my beautiful godson, later" said Sirius
"Godson?" said James raising his eyebrows at Lily
"Yes, his godson. Do you have a problem with that?" said Lily
"Me, no" said James
"Good" said Lily, "Bye Sirius" then she hugged him, "You can come and see your godson anytime"
"I'll hold you to that" he said, "Later Prongs" then he apparated
"So what were you doing at my mother's?"
