Harry James Potter:

Their recent attack made Moody question how many field reports he had them do. He couldn't stop giving them altogether but he did radically reduce the amount of them. Sirius noticed and complained regularly about it. Doe reminded him that his is how she had felt after her first attack and that shut him up in front of Moody. Dumbledore had also taken notice of their attack and was limiting the amount of hours he would let Sirius and Doe patrol James and Lily, much to their dismay.

She was trying to avoid Dumbledore. Severus had told him about her being in Voldemort's sights and she didn't want him to tell anyone or suggest that she do something like go into hiding. She wouldn't do that. She couldn't be that useless. She had purpose now. She was an auror and a part of the order. She wasn't going to sit back in hiding, letting everyone else do all the work, just so she could ensure that she would be safe.

She couldn't bare the idea of someone getting hurt because she chose to sit out. So she was avoiding Dumbledore, before he could even suggest it.

Remus was also being extremely protective. Two attacks seemed to be the limit for him. He was terrified something was going to happen to me. She couldn't even imagine how protective he would be if he knew what she did.

It was better this way. It wasn't like she wasn't careful, she was. She was a trained auror. Completely qualified to protect herself, and she didn't intend on charging headfirst into any Death Eater infested areas.

This new information about Voldemort made her even more keen to stop him. She found herself working ridiculous hours for both the auror office and the Order. She was desperate to stop him.

She got very few hours of sleep. Most days she went to bed late and woke up early. It become almost a nightly routine for Remus to drag her away from files on the kitchen table and practically carry her to bed.

Work was now becoming slightly frustrating for her. She had twelve identities of people she knew were Death Eaters. People who she had seen while she was being tortured and still according to the ministry official guidelines there was nothing she could do.

A group of senior aurors had been sent to Bellatrix's home, but no one there but her parents, who claimed that they hadn't seen her in months.

The injustice of it all made Doe's skin crawl.

It was almost the end of work on July 30th, when a patronus interrupted her file reading. She had been curled up on the floor of Sirius' cubicle, reading the report that had been filed at Bellatrix's home, when the silvery stag appeared in front of Sirius and Doe.

" Lily's in labor" it said quickly, " come to St. Mungos"

Doe had had a late night before, so it took hearing the message twice to really register what was happening.

" Come on, we can duck out early" Sirius said as she got up. They both left the office and headed to the atrium as quickly as they could.

Lily was having the baby. Very soon, they would have a new person in the world. A little boy who was half Lily and half James. She couldn't wait.

Once they were in the atrium, Sirius and Doe both apparated quickly to the St. Mungo's storefront. They had been careless, and a muggle on the street stopped staring at them strangely, wondering how to people could have appeared out of thin air.

She shook her head and kept walking, obviously thinking she had imagined it. Sirius and Doe entered the hospital and immediately took the elevator to the fourth floor.

" Hi, we're looking for Lily and James Potter?" she said to the witch at the desk.

She didn't look up, " Maternity ward. Room 4"

Sirius and Doe walked to the wing of the hospital where she pointed and followed the room numbers until they came to the right room.

Doe pushed open the door to the room four, and found both Lily and James.

Lily was on the bed, clutching the side of it and looking very uncomfortable. James was standing beside her, asking what he could do to help.

" Nothing" Lily snapped at him, " it's your fault I'm like this!"

James looked shocked and didn't know what to say.

" Look" he said quickly, " Doe's here"

Lily looked up at her and smiled, " Oh, Doe. You're here. Good"

Sirius walked over to James and they started talking in hushed voices. Doe walked over to Lily's bedside and stroked her hand.

" I look horrible" she said shaking her head.

" You do not" she assured her, " and anyway that's not what's important. You're having a baby"

Lily smiled and then her face contorted in pain and she clutched at her stomach.

" You alright?" Doe asked quickly, feeling very useless.

" Contraction" Lily said through clenched teeth.

" Get me my wand" she said quickly.

" Why?" she asked her.

Lily turned to her, her ginger hair all around her, " So I can hex James for doing this to me" she said reaching towards the nightstand for her wand.

Doe snatched it from the table and held it behind her back, " Nope"

" Give me my wand, Doe" She said her hand outstretched.

Doe shook her head and pocketed it, " I won't let you jinx James, he loves you and only wants to help"

James smiled at Doe appreciatively but Lily threw her a dark look,

" You're supposed to be my friend" she reminded Doe.

" I am being a friend" Doe told her.

She frowned and then yelled as she got another contraction.

Healer Bones walked into the room and told them that they were going to move her into the delivery room.

Sirius and Doe decided to give them privacy and sat down on one of the benches outside of the rooms.

They sat there for a little while, just waiting for news.

Frank walked by after a little while, telling them that Alice had just had her baby, and Neville was a very happy, healthy newborn.

After that they waited about another hour on the bench. They had owled Remus and Peter but both of them were stuck at work for a while longer, their bosses weren't as lenient as Moody.

She was exhausted. She had been up for hours and she could feel her eyelids starting to slip closed. She kept trying to fight it but she was losing.

" Just go to sleep" Sirius said after a while, "you're exhausted"

She shook her head, " I don't want too"

" You're stubborn" Sirius commented.

Doe tried to fight it, but another yawn escaped her lips.

Sirius gave her a knowing look.

" Sleep" he ordered, " I'll wake you up if anything happens"

Doe bit her lip. She was exhausted.

" Okay fine" she told him, " But you have to promise me that you'll wake me up"

" I promise" Sirius said.

She closed her eyes and leaned against his shoulder, letting herself fall asleep.

She was able to sleep for a couple hours before she felt Sirius shake her awake slightly.

" Doe" he said, " wake up"

Doe's eyes shot open. Her head was in Sirius' lap and she had auror's robes strewn over her as a blanket.

She sat up and rubbed the sleep from her eyes.

" Whats going on?" Doe asked quickly, " Is something wrong?"

Sirius shook his head, " No, he's born. James just told us. We can go in and see them now"

" Really?" she asked quickly, " let's go"

Sirius and De got up and walked over to the room where Lily and James were. Lily was lying on the hospital bed clutching something in her arms and James was standing next to her looking very proud.

" Harry James Potter" Lily said tilting the bundle of blankets down to reveal a small infant.

He looked just like James, everything from his messy black hair to his face shape. Except for his eyes. His eyes were almond shaped and bright green. They were Lily's eyes.

" Oh he's beautiful!" Doe exclaimed to both of them, " Congratulations!"

" He's quite the cute kid" Sirius said letting Harry grasp his finger in his tiny hand.

" Well we're glad you feel that way" James said grinning widely.

He and Lily looked at each other and smiled.

" Doe, Sirius" James said looking at them, " we were wondering if you two would be Harry's godparents?"

Sirius and Doe exchanged a look and then turned back to Lily and James.

" Us?" she asked.

" Are you sure you want us to do it?" Sirius asked.

They both nodded in unison.

" Unless you don't want too" James said, " In which case, we can ask someone else"

Doe shook her head furiously, just as Sirius said " No way!"

Lily and James both smiled,

" Good, because we want it to be you guys" James said happily.

" Do you want to hold him?" Lily asked holding Harry out to her.

She nodded and let her slip him into her waiting arms. He was so tiny, and so beautiful. She watched him look at her and she smiled. I'd never seen something so fascinating.

" That's a weird sight" Sirius pointed out, " Doe with a baby"

Doe rolled her eyes at him and Lily said " Oh hush, she's doing great"

The door to Lily and James room opened and Remus came in clutching a stuffed Hippogriff toy.

" Sorry I'm late" he said closing the door, " Is that him?"

Doe nodded and turned so Remus could see the baby in her arms.

" He's beautiful" Remus said stroking the side of his face.

" And here, I got this in the gift shop" he said handing Lily the hippogriff and hugging James.

" Aw, thank you Remus, that's so sweet" Lily said.

" No problem" Remus assured her, " Congratulations"

Doe walked back to Lily and gave her Harry, whom she then proceeded to let Sirius hold, with a very stern " Be careful".

Remus came over to her and kissed her quickly.

" Hi" Doe said leaning against him in his arms.

Remus smiled, " Hi, sorry I couldn't be here sooner"

She put her hand over his mouth to stop him from apologizing, " You're fine" she told him.

They watched as Lily scolded Sirius for not supporting Harry's head right and her argue with James for suggesting they start quidditch training tomorrow.

" He's perfect isn't he?" Doe said to Remus.

He nodded, " Absolutely"

Doe smiled and watched James pick him up and look at Harry with so much pride.

" Do you want to go get some tea?" Doe suggested to Remus. He nodded.

" We're going to get some tea, we'll be back" she said to Lily, James and Sirius. They nodded and Remus and Doe walked into the elevator selecting the fifth floor.

" When I walked in there and saw you holding him" Remus said, " my heart stopped"

" Good or bad?" Doe asked him.

" Good" he wrapping his arm around her.

She looked up at him curiously.

" I couldn't help but think that I would like to have one with you" Remus said tucking some of her hair behind her ear nervously.

" A baby?" she asked happily, " Really?"

Remus smiled and nodded, " I mean a little while after we're married, I don't see why not"

She reached up onto her toes and pulled Remus into a tight embrace, kissing him deeply. Remus held her there his hands on her waist, deepening the kiss and they only broke apart when the elevator doors opened revealing the tea room.
