Summary
He felt her pain in ways that made the cores of his bones ache, but by the end of it, she glowed. She beamed and laughed and cried happy tears that made her shine. Harry squalled and squirmed as she held him close to her chest, crying and sobbing and falling heavily against James, and the weight of both halves of his heart leaning against him made him feel like he was finally complete.
Like falling in love all over again.
In the first few weeks after Harry's birth, James tries to recover from the trauma of the delivery. To help him are moments of domestic bliss, happily married life, and mad, chaotic friends who will spoil the hell out of his beloved son.
