But to give you part 2 of my confessions

A couple months had gone by since James's brief separation with Lily, and he felt as though he were floating.
Lily was due any day now; they had finally managed to get married despite the tragedies striking them right and left.
The summer was going by so fast.

The last day of July, Lily was lying on her bed by herself; her body was already so bulky that she couldn't get up on her own.
The first warning she had that she was in trouble was the pain in her lower abdomen.
James had promised that she could just send her Patronus to him and he would be right there.
She sat up and clutched tightly at her lower body. "This can't go on forever, baby," she muttered, searching for her wand.
When her hand landed on her wand, she was already in so much pain. "Expecto Patronum," she said, panting from the effort.
The doe disappeared, and she lay back down, her forehead sticky with sweat.
All she could do was wait.

James was in the middle of paperwork when the doe entered his line of sight.
She seemed aggravated and kept shaking her head urgently.
Lily, he thought. Leaping up, he rushed out of the office, running down the empty hall. It was, after all, after closing.
He was so nervous, he doubted he would have been able to reach his home without splinching.
Suddenly spinning on the spot, he thought quickly of his address and disappeared, landing awkwardly on his front step.
"Lily!" he shouted, slamming the door open and running up the steps to the bedroom he shared with her.
She was lifting her head listlessly as he entered the bedroom, and seemed almost relieved to see him.
"James," she whispered, "I don't think we're going to have time to get to the hospital."
He panicked. "B-but I can't deliver babies," he stammered, running a hand nervously through his hair.
She nodded her head in agreement, but seemed to decide something at that moment. "Find a midwife," she said, her voice sounding stronger with her conviction.
He quickly turned on the spot, imagining St. Mungo's as he did.
He skidded to a stop before he fell over. "My wife is in labor," he hollered, trying to make himself heard over the busyness of the hospital.
Just as he started to despair, Molly Prewitt, now Weasley, ran down the hall. Her red hair was held back in a braid running down her back. She seemed almost willing to help as much as possible.
"The doctors are all busy," she confided to a relieved James, "But I've had six kids of my own, so I can see how much help I can be."

Meanwhile, another Order member, Alice Longbottom, an acquaintance of Lily's, was in labor at that same moment.
She was already in the hospital when James Apparated in a panic. Frank heard the commotion outside of the birthing room and went to investigate. "My wife is in labor," he heard and recognized the voice immediately.
So, James is expecting today too huh? he thought, and ran down the hallway to see if he could find someone to help James.
He almost ran over little Molly Weasley, who was going in the opposite direction. "James Potter needs you I think," Frank said, looking back over his shoulder at her.
She nodded her head and took off at a hard run.
There's my good deed for the day, he thought.

At almost eleven o'clock PM, little Harry Potter was born, without the scar that would later appear. Both his parents agreed later on, within the first few months of his life, that he was definitely going to make history. They just didn't know how big.
Sirius Black, now named Harry's godfather in case something happened that James and Lily couldn't control, came over more often than ever just to visit and play with Harry.
"He's going to put you to shame, James," he said, one evening as Harry started his first walk across the living room floor.
"Whatever gives you that idea?" James asked.
Sirius shrugged. "Just the way he's moving from one thing to another," he answered.
Lily laughed, taking hold of her husband's hand and sitting in his lap.
"Oh get a room you two," Sirius said mockingly, but jokingly. James just stuck his tongue out and continued nuzzling his wife's neck.

A/N: okay, now there was a little miscalculation on my part. Instead of this having eighteen chapters its only going to have seventeen. Next chapter is actually the epilogue. Thanks for sticking with me for so long! I hope you enjoyed it. Now make me happy and leave a review!
