LXXV. Child
"Full moon is coming," Remus said as he dropped by for breakfast.
James looked up from his sausage. "Not on Sunday?"
"Yep."
"That's when the baby's due," Lily said. "James Potter, you will not leave me alone to have this child!"
"Of course not!" James smiled at her. "I'll get you a Healer."
She swatted him. "Moony, you can go with Padfoot and Wormtail, can't you?"
"Yeah." Remus sat down. "I can. Prongs should be here."
"But - " He looked torn. "I've never missed a full moon."
"James. There are times when your newborn child is more important than your friend."
