Just Remus
Prompt 010: News
Lily was pregnant. Lily Potter, to Remus Lupin's amazement, was pregnant. What on earth was she thinking, bringing a baby into the war? Remus had been utterly shocked at the news, but he could never have shown it. Lily and James looked so damned happy about it…The last thing he could have done was tell her she was the stupidest person he had ever met.
Sirius was angry with him for expressing how he felt about the baby coming. "Look, Remus, our lives can't stop because of the war," he had snorted as he opened the door to their flat in London. "I mean, Molly and Arthur have got children, and they're in the Order, too. Nothing's happened to them…"
"Yet!" Remus had exclaimed, and he had shaken his head in frustration. "There's too much danger, Sirius! Too fucking much! You and I are ill-equipped to take care of the baby if something were to happen, and—"
"I don't care!" Sirius barked, and he shut the door hard behind them as they came inside. "If something DOES happen, we WILL take the baby, damn—"
"Of course we will, Sirius, but—"
"Enough!" Sirius was tired of being interrupted and interrupting, and so he stalked off to their bedroom, slamming the door. It did not change how Remus felt about this whole thing. Lily and James needed to get their priorities straight before someone got hurt.
