OH BABY {James Potter}

DECISIONS

CHAPTER FIVE: DECISIONS

OCTOBER 1977

Florence Bell stood outside the infirmary checking her watch. James Potter was late. The two the night before had agreed to meet at 8 in the morning before class. Florence was always on time if not early to places as she was an early riser. She loved early mornings. It was something about the way the rest of the world was sleeping and she felt like the only one awake. However this morning it was both Amara and Florence awake with Florence's morning sickness. The two were lucky they had somehow ended up with a dorm to themselves.

So she hated when people were late. She believed it was very rude and disrespectful to the other person waiting for them.

"I know I'm late Florence. I'm so sorry Peter bloody snoozed my alarm so I slept in" James said as he walked around the corner finding a grumpy Florence.

"I've been up since 6am vomiting Potter. I do not need to hear the excuses" Florence uttered, slightly pissed off at the boy. James cringed hearing Florence call him Potter.

"Oh geez, is that normal? Are you okay?" James asked with concern evident in his voice.

"Yeah I think morning sickness is normal '' Florence replied, starting to open the door behind her heading into the infirmary.

James quieted as he followed Florence into the infirmary. He felt bad for the girl. She had been up since six in the morning vomiting because of him.

The two meet Madame Pomfrey at her desk and eventually followed her towards an empty bed. Madame Pomfrey closed the curtains and casted a silencing spell.

"Florence, how are you?" the Mediwitch questioned the girl sitting on the bed.

"I'm alright thank you Madame Pomfrey. I've just been throwing up every morning but besides that alright" she commented a blush appearing on her cheeks.

James sat quietly beside the bed Florence was on keeping his mouth shut. He didn't think he had ever been so quiet before. He took in every word Florence and Pomfrey were saying.

"James. I've never heard you be so quiet" Madame Pomfrey commented.

"Oh no I'm just wanting to... you know...uh listen to you guys" the normally calm and collected boy stuttered.

Florence turned and smirked at the boy's behaviour. He really seemed to care about her and the pregnancy.

"So I gather you two have made a decision" Madame Pomfrey asked the two students.

James looked at Florence and reached out for her hand. He gave it a squeeze encouraging her to go on.

"Yes. We would like to keep it" she said quietly.

"Congratulations dears. I'll go grab my equipment so we can get some testing done before the two of you head off to class".

As Madame Pomfrey walked out through the curtains Florence let out a breath she didn't even know she was holding. James noticed the girl's anxiety.

"It's gonna be okay Florence. We are going to do this together" James declared.

Florence smiled. Maybe this would work out better than she originally thought. James had only been supportive since last night.

"I'm just scared about it all. About what others are going to think and about the whole thing itself".

"Hey hey hey" James cooed rubbing Florence's arm. "We don't need to care what others think. The only people that matter are you and me in this" he said as he calmed Florence down. James however needed his own calming down. He was terrified of what the rest of his friends were going to think, especially Lily.
