Harry James Potter was born in the early hours of July the 31st. After finding out Lily was in labour James jumped up and apperated straight to Sirius' house.
"PAAADFOOT GET YOUR BUM DOWN HERE QUICK!" He shouted to the silent house. No reply. "PADFOOT" he shouted again, "HURRY UP LILYS IN LABOUR AND I WANT TO SEE MY KID"
After waking up and hearing the last few words, Sirius and Marlene jumped straight out of bed and got changed. Marlene's bump was growing bigger everyday and she was due in early September. After aperating to St Mungos James practically dragged the still half asleep Sirius and Marlene to reception.
"Lily Eva- Potter. We are here to see Lily Potter" James nearly shouted at her.
"Floor 3 room 6" she replied clearly annoyed, "NEXT"
After racing up the stairs they finally made it to Lily's room.
"Jeez Lil, what kind of time is this?" Sirius said jokingly, "I'm still practically asleep"
"IF YOUR GOING TO BE NO USE GET OUT" Lily shouted.
"Yikes chill Lil i wa-"
"CHILL? CHILL! SIRIUS IM HAVING A BABY AND YOUR NOT HELPING" she shouted again.
"I i-think ill wait outside" Sirius said. He walked out the room and sat on one of the white plastic chairs outside. After what felt like hours but had only been a matter of minutes, Remus, Tonks and Marlene joined him. Tonks was huge as she was due in a week or so. They sat in silence outside the door waiting to be let back in. It was stressful waiting in the corridor even when they new she would be alright. After about three eternities past, a delighted James came bounding out the door. Seeing James face Sirius let out a breath he didn't know he was holding in.
"ITS A BOY" James yelled.
Sirius, Marlene, Remus and Tonks all cheered.
"Well are we allowed to go see the little bugger?" Sirius asked standing up. James grinned and walked back in the others right behind him. Lily was lying on the hospital bed looking exhausted but happy. In her arms, wrapped in a red blanket was Harry,
"Harry James Potter" Lilly said looking up from Harry. She had tears of happyness in her eyes.  The family she always dreamed of was coming true. Looking at little Harry, Remus laughed, "he looks just like you James!"
Hearing this James stood up. "Yes he does" He was so proud of his son and his wife. He was a father a real life dad.
"Unlucky little thing" Tonks said in mock seriousness. Everyone laughed at this. "He's got Lils eyes though," Marlene pointed out. Feeling tears coming on James reached over and lifted Harry gently from Lily and passed him to Sirius.
"Paddy we were wondering if you would be Harrys go-"
"JAMES DON'T DO IT" Remus interrupted.
"Godfather" James finished before his eyes widened in horror.
Remus groaned. Sirius smirked, "you mean hIS DOG-FATHER" and whooped. Remus groaned again.
Sirius looked down at little Harry in his arms.
"Hey Harry, im your godfather, or dog-father but thats up to you, but you can call me Uncle Padfoot" he said to the little bundle.
He looked up and saw everyone staring at him.
"What?" He asked grinning.
"We never knew you were so good with kids," Moony pointed out. Pretending to be hurt Sirius put one hand over his heart, "how could you think that moony? Im fabulous with kids! I really am hurt you know." He said putting on a sad face.
"Your hearts on your other side you baboon" Marlene said. Sirius scowled, moving his hand to the other side while the others laughed.
"I think its time to take wee Harry home but also Marlene will you be godmother?" Lily said looking lovingly at her son.
"Of course Lil id love to" Marlene asked clearly touched by this.
"Lets get you home Prongslet" Sirius said standing up.
"Sirius if you dare call my child that again..!" Lily warned. Sirius just smiled. She'll get used to it.
