James- Surgery

I hate hospitals. Nothing about them is nice. They smell weird, they are far too bright and they are filled with god awful memories. Nothing anybody can say will convince me that they do any good.

I've only been in St Mungo's three times in my whole life and all of them were not pleasant experiences. The first time was when Lily had burnt herself pretty badly in the kitchen when mum and dad were out. It went all the way down to the bone and mum still hasn't let me forget about it. The second time was after Teddy got into some huge fight with one of Victoire's ex-boyfriends and he was put in a coma for almost three weeks.

And now the third time. I'm sitting outside the operating theatre waiting to hear if Jessica, the love of my life, is going to make it out of surgery alright. I had been here for almost two hours and yet I had still heard nothing. They wouldn't let me inside, as much as I begged so I was left outside. By myself, waiting.

"James! James, hey!" I was shook awake by a pair of sturdy hands, connected to the body of a person I had been trying to reach since we had first arrived in the God forsaken place. "James, hey what's going on? Where is Jess?"

"She's still inside, Fred, they won't let me see her. I don't know what's happening." I grabbed my face in my hands, trying as hard as possible to remain calm and not lose it.

"So, is the baby born yet?"

"Yeah it's a girl, just what she wanted," I answered, raising my head up to see that he was staring sympathetically down at me. "I guess the doctors got it wrong, just like she said they would." I laughed. "She's always right isn't she?"

Fred bobbed his head up and down a few times while laughing quietly, not convincing me of his happiness in anyway. "Have you called anyone else?" He asked.

"Yeah, I called everyone. Lils is on her way with mum and dad. Molly is bargaining with her boss to get some time off to get over here and Rose is assisting. Dom was with Lucy and they should be here soon," I informed him as I listed family members. "I couldn't reach Roxanne, out of service as usual but Victoire said she would let her know. Ted came about three hours ago, before she went into surgery, but had to leave. I've tried to reach him since but he wasn't picking up. Al was able to get him a message."

Fred nodded as I finished listing the people aloud.

"And Seamus?"

"He's out of town, on holiday with the wife for their anniversary. They were coming back next week when Jessica was due." I explained.

"Jamie!" I saw a flash of fiery locks running down the corridor before I was smothered in hair. "Jamie, we came as fast as we could."

"Hey, Lily, give your brother some space sweetie," Mum suggested trying to pull Lily away from me, but I wrapped my arms around her before she could take her away.

I wept quietly into Lily's shoulder while she stroked my hair and whispered comforting words into my ear. She didn't let go the whole time and I was glad for the first time in my life that my little sister was so clingy.

"What happened?" Dad murmured into Fred's ear as he leaned over.

"I don't know, all he said was that Jessica was still inside. The baby's born but umm... they aren't letting Jess out yet," Fred answered.

"Something went wrong and Jessica got hurt, she's still in surgery. They won't tell me anything," I whispered to Lily, just loud enough so that Harry could hear.

Dad sighed deeply before taking the seat next to me, placing his arm around my shoulder and pulling me into his tightly. He looked up at mum questioningly but it appeared that even Ginny didn't know what to do. And we stayed there like that, with Lily on my lap and my head on dad's shoulder while Fred and mum stood above us, until everyone else arrived.

Molly was first to come looking flushed with Rose at her heels, Fred explained the situation and once he was done Molly broke into silent tears and took the seat on the left of me. Victoire and Teddy weren't far behind but they didn't ask any questions. Roxanne followed half an hour later, loudly apologising for being late until she saw all of our faces and took the space next to her brother without another word. Albus, Dominique and Lucy all arrived to together looking somber, Fred must have called them.

We all sat there for what felt like decades. Lily started to drift off and nearly fell off my lap more than once, but I almost caught her. Dad picked her up and placed her on his chair so that she could get some sleep. Victoire left after a little while but returned with blankets and pillow as well as some sandwiches. Grace, Frank and Alice all arrived with Neville the next morning with even more food but I still didn't eat anything.

"Mr. Potter?" I awoke with a start at the sound of my name. "Mr. James Potter?"

"Yes?" I raised my head above the mass of people trying to show my location to the healer calling my name.

"Jessica is stable and awake. You can go and see her now."

A/N: And there is the end of James' part. I hope this went okay and showed that even James can be serious at times! His daughter was called Sophie Molly Weasley if anyone was wondering. I hope you enjoyed it!
