"ARRRRRR, I hate you James Charlus Potter." Lily screamed almost breaking my hand. "When this is over I'm going to kick you so hard in you- ARRRRRRR"
"Come on Lil we need to get you to your room!" James winced. Whether it was it at the threat of no more children or that his hand was also in Lily's vice like grasp I'm not sure.
"Don't tell me what to do James, your already not getting 'any' FOR A YEAR! Don't make it longer." Cue another wince from James. He subconsciously patted the bandage on his forehead.
"Come on Lily!" I said softly hoping she wouldn't snap at me. "Please Lie down!" She Sent me a bone chilling glare but lay down anyway.
"Lily!" Lola's voice came from the door. She ran in and gave lily a hug, she looked ecstatic.
"Shut up Lola!" Lily gave out another scream. But Lola just laughed.
"I'm going to go now!" I smiled edging backwards, Lola just smiled in acknowledgement. But James' eyes went wide. I was gone before he could even beg for me to stay. I was walking quickly down St. Mungos halls when I ran into something. Or someone.
"Watch where your going Black." I recognised the voice and started laughing.
"Marlene?" I got up and saw I was right. She was gathering her folders and brushing off her skirts. I grimaced and began to help her pick up her stuff. The reason for my resentment to Marlene, due to he love confession, wasn't because she was unattractive and I didn't want to be loved by an Ugly bint. Believe me, she was very attractive. It was because of the creepy things that were in these love confessions. Locks of hair, marriage proposals and other disturbing things I really would rather not mention. If Marlene had just asked me out like a normal person I would have been more than wiling to do just that. But the love letters and scented candles scared the crap of me. "Look Marlene. You need to stop sending me those love letter and weird gift baskets. I don't know what you'd expect me to do with your hair. I have responsibilities now so it need to stop."
"Look Black, I've told you before now! Take your head out of your arse! I'm not sending you those baskets, nor will I ever." She huffed glaring at me. Marlene and I had once been close. Until our fifth year when I started getting these confessions of love signed by her. I confronted her about and she denied it. We haven't really spoken since. "Plus how do you know its my hair?"
"It was blonde and the note was signed 'Marlene' in block cursives! That's how you write!" I argued back.
"If you hadn't noticed, I'm not the only person you know who has blonde hair! Plus I haven't wrote like that since I was 14. Not that you'd know considering you deserted me at the first sign of commitment. Not that I even liked you." She rolled her eyes at me and walked off.
I had to admit, she did have a point. "Hey Marlene! It really wasn't you?" I turned around to look at her retreating figure.
She stopped, signalling she was listening and said a rather annoyed "Yes. it wasn't me." Without turning around.
"Maybe we can catch up some time. I loved to tell you how sorry I am over dinner." I smirked and she turned round to look at me. An identical smirk on her face.
"Never in a million years Black. I will settle for a strongly worded letter and a public apology." With that she span on her heal and kept on walking.
I couldn't help but feel that she might actually be right. What if all these years the gift baskets have been some elaborate prank from one of the guys or possibly a psycho Slytherin.
For the moment I forgot about Marlene and my stalker and left to find a vending machine. Hopefully Lily would be done with her delivery once I got back considering she had been in labour nearly all day. It had seriously been a painful day.
She had been hurling insults at James and I all day. James even had a bottle thrown at his head. Hence the bandage wrapped around it. The closer her contractions got the more violet she became. She even kicked Lola in the shin for breathing to loud. She took that as her cue to go and 'check up on' my daughter.
I finally got back about an hour later and to my utter surprise and disappointment, Lily was still a long way away from giving birth to my little prongs or princess.
"Hey Lola, Lily..." I said greeting them with a tray of coffee. I got one for lily just in case and I knew James and Lola would be needing one. "Where'd James go?"
"Ermmm..." Lola coughed, trying and failing to cover up a laughed. "Lily wanted him to get a taste of what she was going through so she..." Just as she was about to finish a grunt of pain came from the floor on other side of Lily's bed.
"I hit him in his man parts!" Lily grumbled before letting out another scream.
I took a step away from Lily an set the tray of coffees down on the bed side table. "Yet another story t tell the kids ayy prongs."
"arr..."
-x-
"Its a boy!" the Head healer called passing the baby to Lola so she could clean the little man up.
"A boy?" James asked his face full of glee.
"My baby boy." Lily cried reaching out for her newly clean baby.
"Hand it over!" I smirked glancing over at Lola. She rolled her eyes and took out five galleons pressing them in my hand.
We had made a bet at the beginning of the pregnancy about what the gender would be. Silly girl.
"Any name choices?" The healer asked.
"What about Charlus, James? After your father?" Lily asked her eyes not leaving the small bundle in her arms.
"No!" James said almost instantly. "I love my Dad, but not that much." James chuckled. Lily sent look to Lola who nodded and whacked James over the head. "Oww."
"How about Sirius?" I added and smirked at a glaring James.
"No way! How about Blade?" James asked excitedly.
"No way are you subjecting my godson to that torment!" I said defensively stroking The baby's little tuffs of hair.
"What? Blade is a BRILLIANT name." James cried.
"'Bout as brilliant as calling him Hamburger or German Sausage." Lola huffed, taking up on her self to whack James again.
"Are you hungry or something?" I asked, I know her to well to let this slide.
"Shut up Sirius." Lola snapped at him. "And yes, yes I am!"
"Okay so its a no for Blade!" James scrunched up his face in concentration. "How about Michael?"
"You want to name your son after a Muggle film character notoriously known for killing his family?" I laughed at James' frustration.
"Oliver?"
"To plain!"
"Carlise?"
"Car-what?"
"Patrick?"
"Does he look like a pink starfish to you?" Lily asked laughing. They all just stared at her blankly except for me. I broke out into a fit of laughter. I enjoyed muggle... Tevelision? Terevishion? The Healer, whom I had forgotten was even there left telling us to inform him when we had made a decision.
"Come on Prongie, You've been a Marauder for Seven almost eight years and you can't think of a Baby name."
"I had a brilliant name." He cried falling onto the chair next to Lily.
"Then what is it?" I asked following James and falling into the seat beside him.
"I-I cant remember. Too much fire whiskey!" He muttered. "AHH I got it!"
"Prey do tell Prongs." I laughed at my bestfriend's childish ways.
"Harriet!" He said a grin plastered on his face. I shook my head and I could practically hear lily mentally face palm.
"James, your such an idiotic prat!" Lola sighed, she got angry when she got hungry. It was scary. Almost as scary as Lily in Labour. "Harriet is a girls name!"
"Ohh." He physically deflated.
"I love it!" lily smiled from where she was cradling her surprisingly quite baby. "Harry. Harry James Potter."
"Harry?" I smiled. "Its perfect! I knew you had it in you Prongs!" I smiled at my two best friends and little Harry. The looked so happy. I really wanted that for my Brooklyn. A mother who would risk anything for her baby. "Come on Lola, lets go get you fed and inform the babysitters that the beast has been put back in her cage." I smirked at lily who gave Lola a look. Lola nodded and a braced myself for the impact.
A/N: Hey guys, I'm sorry for leaving it for so long. I have no excuse, I just wasn't motivated. I'm trying to make my Chapters longer for this Fic as well. Also I would appreciate it so if you could give me your opinion on how you want tis story to play out. It was a spur of the moment kind of thing so I don't really have many ideas for it. I also have no idea whether I should keep it canon or do something completely different. I really do appreciate your opinions. thanks xx
