Bliss

James woke up to a scream. A raw, terrified, high-pitched sound that rang like an alarm in James’s ear as he sprang out of bed and ran out his bedroom door into the nursery. Lily wasn’t home. For the first time in months, she went out on order business Mary and Remus. Which meant James was left to care for Harry, not James minded. He didn't mind at all. Harry was a sweet baby and even if he wasn't, he was James’s baby. But the nightmares were hard. It wasn’t Harry’s fault that his father couldn’t handle seeing his son in pain but it still hurt James to see.

“Oh, amor, cállate” James said as he picked Harry up and held him against his chest. “Sh, sh, I got you. I got you, Papa’s here, I’m right here” James whispered as he rocked Harry, “shh, shh. 

Its ok, its ok. Everything’s alright. We’re safe. The bad man’s gone, he didn't take me or momma, we’re safe” James whispered as he held Harry and walked downstairs. He grabbed Harry’s blanket and wrapped him up before heading downstairs. 

“Estás a salvo, hijo” James spoke as Harry’s cries grew softer. He opened the fridge and grabbed a bottle Lily made before she left. Order business with Remus and Mary direct orders from Dumbledore, though the purpose was unclear. Why did he thought it necessary for Lily to leave for two days when she had a breastfed baby? James didn't know. Nothing seemed more important than Harry right now, especially after the attack.
