Short chapter, but yay anyway! James is fun to write sometimes. Oh, and Madam Wood is Oliver Wood's wife, and shall remain nameless. Haha. Almost everyone is connected to a canon character in some way. :D
Thanks for the reviews and the fav and "follows"! Kisses! Hugs!
(Also, I'm really, really surprised at how fast I've written these. I'm ahead to chapter eight. Whoah.)
Disclaimer: Don't own it! Nope, nope.
Winning at Everything
Chapter Five: James Wins at Identifying Body Parts
Month Five: Eighteen Weeks – March 13, 2022
Despite the fact that they were chances to see the baby, appointments with Madam Wood were boring. The woman would wave her wand and an indistinct picture of a baby shaped object would appear over Cora's stomach along with a long string of words that were almost impossible to read backwards. Then Wood would rattle off some instructions and questions that only Cora seemed to understand and they would be on their way.
Over all it was boring. James was also under the impression women really did know another language that men didn't. He always left the infirmary more confused than when he had went in.
That time was no different. The baby looked more, well, baby-like that it had before and was steadily looking a lot like a small human being. James spent the majority of the visit watching the picture and trying to figure out if it looked more like him or Cora.
Then James noticed something. "Hey, what's that?" he asked while pointing out the strange lump on the baby's bottom. Or at least it looked like a bottom. The other side had a face, at least.
Both Cora and Wood stared at what he was pointing at for a moment. Wood then smiled and crossed her arms. "That's his genitals." Cora took an awed breath.
He blinked in confusion. That didn't make any sense. "It's what? That's not bad, right?" He was even more confused when Cora began to laugh.
Wood just rolled her eyes. "His genitals. You're having a boy, Mr. Potter."
"Ge-" It clicked and James gaped at the image in front of him. "It's a boy?" He turned to Cora, not knowing whether to smile or still gape in shock. "We're having a boy?"
Cora nodded, still giggling, but grinning wide at the same time. "A boy."
James gave Cora a deep kiss, then couldn't stop himself from hugging Madam Wood around the waist. He would have to write his dad and Teddy and Granddad Arthur and... He was having a son!
