Remus calmed down after a while. Sirius looked at him with a sad face. "Moon I'm so sorry that happened to you," Sirius said after he pulled apart from his werewolf friend.
"Thank you, Padfoot. Now let's see were Ted has run off too," Remus said with a small smile as he stood up and walked over to the door. Sirius did the same.
They found Teddy in his room looking at a book on the floor. His back was against the frame and his face was barred in the book. His hair still matched his father's Sirius smirked at the werewolf. "He is so your son Rem," Sirius said laughing. Remus pushed him playfully. Teddy looked up when he heard Sirius say this. Then he smiled at his father and best friend.
"Hey daddy, Snuffles," Remus laughed when Sirius rolled his eyes and gave his son a look.
"Who told you that name?" Sirius was laughing when he said this however as he looked at Remus. Remus laughed also as he looked back at Teddy who put the book down and stood. Teddy jumped up and down before he opened his mouth.
"Uncle Harry," Teddy answered bouncing again as he got on his bed and bounced a little. Sirius laughed at this. However, Teddy was truly his cousin's son. Then a thought came to him.
"Uncle Harry?" Sirius questioned as he looked at Teddy who was still bouncing on his bed. Remus laughed at this as his son got higher and higher as he bounced. He then looked at Sirius, nodded and said:
"I made Harry his Godfather. I had too," Remus had a smile on his face as he said this. Sirius smiled back at him. Remus then looked at his son who was still bouncing and added: "Do you what to go play outside Ted?" Teddy jumped off the bed however he did not land on his feet, but this did not stop him from running out of the leaving Remus and Sirius alone in the room.
I guess he's got some wolf in him," Remus said nodding as they both left the room. Sirius looked at him. He wanted to ask something, but he kept it to himself.
Remus smiled when he saw his son in the back running around the tree.
"Edward be careful," Remus called to his son. Sirius walked up next to Remus and smiled at his friend being a father.
"Don't call me that!" Teddy called back before he tripped over his shoe and landed on a root. Remus sighed and walked over to his son so he can help him up. Sirius smiled at the family. Then he thought back to Tonks and how Teddy is just like her. "Thanks, dad," Teddy muttered once Remus pulled him to his feet.
"Any time cub," Remus said with a smile. Teddy smiled back at him before he started to run around again.
Teddy was sitting by the tree along with Sirius and Remus when Ginny came out with a snack in one hand and James Sirius in the other. Ginny smiled at her friends and Godson as they all sat around the tree. "Harry should be home soon," she said as she walked over to the family. Sirius smiled and looked at Remus before he said:
"Harry. Oh, I can't wait to see him. How is he doing?" Sirius's eyes grew wide as he said this. This made Ginny and Remus smile fondly at their friend. There was also hope in Sirius's eyes. Remus smiled at Sirius and looked at Ginny.
"He's doing great. However, he's trying to juggle being an Auror and being a father of a baby with another one on the way," Sirius's eyes grew wide with happiness.
"Realy!?" Sirius jumped up making Remus and Teddy laugh. Ginny laughed also and nodded. Sirius then first ponded the air. Then he ran around the tree. This made Remus rolled his eyes, but he also laughed as he watched his friend turn into Padfoot and licked Teddy's face. Teddy giggled when the black dog liked him.
"Eww Padfoot stop. That's my son," Padfoot then turned around and started to lick Remus. Remus tried to push the dog off. "Padfoot that's weird," Remus said laughing. Padfoot got off of Remus and started to pant as if he was sticking his tongue out at the werewolf. Remus rolled his eyes again and stood up. "Right it smells like it's going to rain. Come on Ted let's get inside," Teddy nodded as he sniffed the air also. The half-werewolf nodded.
"Daddy's right," Teddy confirmed. Sirius was confused. Remus saw this on his face and smiled a little
"I did tell you that Teddy got some wolf, but I did not tell you that he is half-wolf. All the powers of one but he does not turn into a wolf. He, however, has a hard time sleeping on the full moon though," Remus told him as they all walked inside.
The family all sat in the dining room eating when Harry came home. Sirius was in dog form waiting to surprise his Godson. "Hello everyone," Harry said as he took James Sirius into his arms. Everyone said hello back as Padfoot barked. Harry looked at the black dog laying on the floor. Harry raised an eyebrow and said: "How did the…...what…when did you…." Harry trailed off and looked back to the black dog in the room. Remus smiled at him, but Harry saw a tired look in the werewolf's eyes. He decided to ask him later.
"That's not a dog uncle Harry," Teddy said laughing. Harry looked at his Godson and then back at the dog.
"Sirius?" Harry asked with tears forming in his eyes. The dog nodded his big muzzle and then turned back into Sirius. Harry had tears falling down his face now as he looked at his Godfather who was standing right in front of him. Harry then gave James back to Ginny and wrapped his arms around Sirius and pulled him into a tight hug. "Sirius how….?" Harry cut himself off as more happy tears fell down his face and out of his eyes. Remus smiled, however, the screams of Tonks came back into his mind. The werewolf shook his head and looks at Teddy. Teddy met his father's tired sad eyes and whispered:
"Dad are you ok?" Remus nodded as a tear went down his face. Teddy saw that his father was not ok, so he nodded and walked over to him. Then he pulled his father into a tight hug. Harry and Sirius pulled out of their hug to see this. Harry and Sirius both sighed when they knew what was going on.
"You need to see someone about this Remus," Harry said once the family all sat down and became to eat.
When the kids went to bed all four adults sat in the living room by the fire in silence. Sirius let out a sigh and looked at Remus who was reading. "Rem?" Sirius said looking at the werewolf who looked up from his book.
"Yes?" Remus asked as he put his face back into the book.
"I think you need to see someone about your flashbacks," Sirius said as he looked at Harry and Ginny who nodded in agreement. Remus sighed but he did not say anything, nor did he put his book down. Sirius saw this and said:
"I mean it Rem," Remus looked up from his book sharply and scoffed.
"Realy. You think people will help me. The werewolf," Remus shook his head. There was a bitterness in his voice. Harry looked at Remus sadly and nodded to Ginny who nodded back as they left the room. They both knew that Sirius needed to speak to Remus alone. Remus watched then leave with a sigh as he put his book down in his lap. Sirius who was sitting next to the werewolf got up to sit across from him. Remus sighed as he put his book next to him and looked at Sirius, but he did not meet his eyes.
"Look, Remus, I know you feel like no one will help you but take a moment to think about it before you think they won't help you because of you 'Furry little problem.' People will help you. you need to tell people about this and not just me, Harry, Ginny, Teddy can't help you because he's a child," Remus sighed but he did not say anything. Sirius sighed again. Then he stood up and said: "Think about it, Moon. You really need help Moony," Remus watched as Sirius left the room.
Remus sat in the living room for a while thinking about what Sirius had told him. Remus knew that his friend was right. Remus, however, was scared that what he was about to do was a bad idea, but he really needed help. Remus let out a breath and got off his chair and left the room. "Sirius," Remus called to his friend once he found him. Sirius was playing with James who had woken up and needed help getting back to sleep. Sirius looked up to his friend and smiled.
"Did you think about it and decide on what you are going to do yet?" Sirius asked as he tickled James. James giggled melting Remus's heat. Remus watched the baby move around before he nodded and let out a breath.
"Yes. I'm still scared though. I know I should not be but…...but I am," Remus said voice shaky. He also let out a shaky sigh and looked at Sirius who gave him a sad smile.
"I understand Rem. Don't worry this is good that you want help with this and it's ok to be scared. I'm scared to show myself to the ministry later. I mean I can't just stay in this hell of a house the rest of my life. I hate this place," Remus smiled at him and nodded.
"I know you do Siri," Remus said as he looked around the house and then back at James who was playing with his bare feet while they were talking. Remus smiled at this and looked at Sirius. "I need your help with this Padfoot though," Remus said as he looked at the baby. Sirius smiled and said:
"Sure Moon. Harry, Ginny and I can help you. Let's to it later. I want to play with this baby," Remus rolled his eyes and played with James Sirius along with Sirius.
