MINI MINNIE

JAMES AND LILY had just gotten home from celebrating Harry's 50th birthday three days prior. And by just gotten home, actually got home the day before ( after staying the night in the newly refurbished Potter manor ), but with Lily on the verge of giving birth, it still felt like they'd just gotten home.
It was approximately 3:47 in the morning when James shot up to his wife groaning and digging her nails into his bicep. He saw that the bed was wet and thought she might have peed ( because carrying another human is hard! ), but quickly realized that it was not pee.
"James," she mumbled. "My water just broke."
"Oh fuck," he mumbled.
He had read stacks of parenting books, but even with all of the steps laid out for him for how he was supposed to handle his wife going into labour, he still freaked out.
"Oh my god," he exclaimed as he started to hyperventilating. "I'm going to be a dad!"
"Call St. Mungo's please," she mumbled as she tried to get up and after a few tries was successful.
"I'm not ready to be a dad," he exclaimed. "What if I mess up! How do you change a diaper?"
"I'm going to St. Mungo's," she announced as she slid on her slippers and tried to find a coat ( because even if it was summer, it was still cold for a very pregnant woman outside ).
"Have fun!" he yelled back as he fumbled for the phone and he eventually found it and dialed the first number he could think of. "Lorcan!"
"What the fuck, mate?" Lorcan groaned from the other end.
"Who is it, love?" Fred asked in the background.
"It's James," Lorcan replied. "What James?"
"Lily's gone into labour and what the fuck do I do?" James yelled into the phone.
"Merlin, you're helpless," Lorcan groaned as he put down the phone.
In a pop, both Fred and Lorcan were there in pajamas and rubbing their eyes until they saw James panicking and Lily trying to find her favorite blanket ( because she was not going to the hospital without it ).
