Happy Mother's Day to my mum, Dorea, and to Lily Potter, the mother of our three beautiful children.

(This announcement also serves as a PSA for the island and HFD as I'll be making dinner tonight.)

Baby Sophia learned a new word today! I won't write it down as it is a swear word, and I am not accepting responsibility for her learning it. I'm certainly not doubling over laughing every time she says it, thus enabling her to say it more. Nope.

JAMES

Guess what? IT'S HAPPENINGGGG.

I knew this was going to happen one day. This is worse than when Marlene found her brother's stash.

I told Slughorn, I said to him, 'Darling, sweet Professor, dungeons are not a suitable location for potion work. You need proper ventilation.' Now I've gone and breathed in enough fumes to form a full and very vivid hallucination, and I'll probably wake up to the Bloody Baron staring at me, passed out and drooling on the floor like I found Slughorn's firewhiskey.

Bloody perfect.

Kind of disappointed that the portal didn't flip me up gender-wise.

So I realize it's late in the day, but someone please tell me there are some shrimp tacos left.

Even though it doesn't really make up for the long period of time spent away from each other, Lily always brings home the best gifts after she travels for work.

( Cut for picture )

How strange. Of course I've heard of portals before, but that was my first go with one. And into some place so hot with all these peculiar machines! It's all so overwhelming.

Soooo who wants to watch the prettiest baby for a day while I take my gorgeous wife down to Brazil to watch the final match tomorrow? I'll add a few extra teleports and some of Lily's brownies into the mix.

Is it just me, or has there been another influx of my favourite people from Teen Wolf?

James, baby, sweetie, I love you, we need more room ♥

ooc: lily's got a new face!

Listen, I'm having a really bad year. So can we just not?

One of the benefits of going back to work is leaving my daughter like this and seeing how long it takes Lily to find her. The other benefit is listening to people whine about the safety measures I put on my office to make sure no one took it while I was gone. I'm not even a little sorry that the new hire was red for an entire day.

FILTER: POTTER HOUSE RESIDENTS

How's everyone doing? I draw the line at snakes in the house, but let me know if there's something you need.

It's so nice to be out of school tomorrow, even if I haven't really celebrated Good Friday or Easter or anything like that in years and years. I kind of want to go explore the island or something.

I got my letter from U of H.

[ james and lily ]

So I don't know if you heard through the grapevine or what, but Deputy Parrish is my brother, Camden. He'd lost his memory, but Bonnie Bennett was able to help him get it back. He just told us a few days ago.

Like almost everything else, we Brits tend to do things first. From one island to another, Happy Mother's Day to all of the lucky mums out there.

((ooc; If you're a mum and one of James' friends, you would have gotten a card that turned into a bouquet of your favorite flowers after you opened it. In addition, Lily would have gotten a full night's sleep, a little baby with a big bow on her head with her own card for her mum, and breakfast in bed this morning. Dorea would have gotten the same as well.))

Thanks for the free phone, Hawaii, but I kind of need to get back to Beacon Hills. And by kind of, I mean it's a matter of life and death. Literally.

FRIENDS, FAMILY + TEEN WOLF

When I first arrived in Hawaii, I spent probably the first month crying. I was told what happened to me, my husband, my son, our friends and family, and even though I was considered fictional to most, the pain was unlike anything I ever felt.

I didn't watch the movies, so I can't imagine what it is like to see yourself, or someone you love, go through what happened on Monday night. But if any of you need to talk to someone who understands loss and grief, our door is open to all of you. And if you don't want to talk at all, you just want somewhere to go, the same rule applies.

I baked. A lot. So really, you would be doing me and my post-baby belly a favour if you came over and ate some cake.

My wife is responsible for coming up with how to print moving pictures and I always have a camera on my phone with me, but I still believe that there's something special about printing pictures the "old fashioned" way. We had to wait for Sophia's homecoming pictures Lily took to develop, but I finally got around at 3 am to scanning in one of our favourites to show everyone.

( Meet Sophia )

Sophia Emmeline Potter
7th March 2014
6lbs 9oz

We are in love, and she is perfect.

_{ooc: James text close friends & family when Lily went into hospital}

Have officially met planet-like proportions.

I quit everything that involves getting up off this couch.

I'm not sure how I even got down here, but my centre of gravity dictates that I will not be able to get up until this baby decides it's time to live in its own body. That said, I think I'm going to miss being pregnant. Is that weird?

Speaking of, we need suggestions for baby names, since I can't agree with my husband about anything.

Either I'm getter better at keeping my mouth shut or getting better at believing when Lily says that she had no idea that I was throwing a surprise party for her. Regardless, thank you to everyone that came out tonight, and if anyone needs cake I'm pretty sure we have enough left over to feed either a small country or a pack of werewolves.

Residents of the newly renovated Potter House Hotel, speak now or forever hold your peace about the improvements. I have a limit on how many more paint swatches I can look at.
