We got to see Sirius’ godson today. I don’t think I’ve ever managed to make Sirius melt the way he did when he saw Harry for the first time.
“Here he is, the newest member of the Potter family.” James announced proudly as he answered the door, smiling down at the bundle of blankets in his arms. Remus smiled and sat down gingerly. He looked as exhausted as Lily did, and they gave each other a sympathetic grin.
“Can I hold him Prongs?” Sirius asked eagerly, bouncing on the balls of his feet.
“Sure Padfoot, he’s your godson after all.” James carefully handed the bundle of blankets over to him. Sirius pulled down the edge of one blanket to be confronted by vivid green eyes staring back up at him. He let out a soft ‘Oh’.
“He’s got your eyes Lily.” He said, staring back at the tiny baby.
Which then proceeded to screw up its vivid green eyes and let out a piercing wail.
Remus laughed at the look of shock on Sirius’ face.
He’s going to dote on that boy… once he figures out how to keep him quiet!
Remus stopped laughing as soon as Sirius thrust the screaming infant into his arms. The fact that Harry soon quieted down and started gurgling happily earned him a reproachful glare from Sirius. Lily laughed quietly.
“I think he likes you Remus.”
“Well, at least he’s got good taste then.” Sirius huffed good-naturedly, making everyone laugh. Except Harry who started crying again. Remus held the crying infant away from him, relieved when Sirius took hold of him again. Sirius smiled broadly as Harry stopped crying, reaching up with one small hand to grab at Sirius’ hair. Sirius’ smile turned into a grimace of pain as he tried to untangle Harry’s hand from his hair.
“Told you your hair was getting long Sirius.” Smirked Remus.
“Shut up Moony.”
Lily was exhausted, so we didn’t stay too long. But we did promise to come back. And Sirius has offered our services as babysitters whenever Lily and James want.
~*~
As soon as they got home, Remus apologised.
“I’m sorry Sirius.” He said softly. Sirius turned to face him, confusion in his eyes.
“What you sorry for Moony?”
“I saw how you were with Harry.” He said by way of explanation, lowering himself into a nearby chair. Sirius knelt down in front of him.
“The kid’s my godson Moony.”
“I know. It’s just that we…” he took a deep breath. “… we’ll never have that.” He almost jumped in surprise as Sirius barked with laughter.
“Is that what you’re apologising for Moony? That we can’t have kids?” Remus nodded, suddenly feeling a little ridiculous.
“Moony, I love you. You hear me? You!” he said earnestly, taking Remus’ hand in his own. “It doesn’t matter that we can never have kids. In fact, I’m glad we can’t. Means I can have you all to myself.”
“But you looked so happy when you held him.”
“I don’t deny that I was. But that doesn’t mean I want kids of my own. I like being able to hand them back at the end of the day.” He winked at Remus and rubbed the back of his hand.
“Really?” Remus asked, hating how needy he sounded.
“Really.” Sirius nodded. “Besides if we had kids, I wouldn’t be able to do this.” He knelt up and kissed Remus, fingers busily undoing the buttons on his shirt.
“Bedroom…” said Remus breathlessly, arching as Sirius’ mouth found one of his nipples.
“Nuhuh.” Sirius shook his head, tickling Remus’ chest with his hair as he did. “Advantage of not having kids!” he grinned, resuming his assault on Remus’ body.
He didn’t laugh at me when I apologised. Instead, he showed me how much he loved me.
And how much more fun it is without kids!
~*~*~
Remus stared into the fire, remembering the intense look of happiness on Sirius’ face as he’d held Harry.
And the intense love-making sessions that had taken place afterwards in the lounge.
And the kitchen.
And the garden.
He laughed out loud, a faint blush spreading across his cheeks.
He may not have Sirius anymore, but he had the memories they made together.
