Remus had long since given up hope of having a family, but that deep-buried desire had risen from the ashes of despair and set fire to a new hope. He had a family now. A beautiful wife who forgave him for all his self-doubt – with a few sharp words to straighten his head when he felt it spinning on a corkscrew. And now, in his arms, he had an adorable little boy as well: small tuft of hair changing from his sandy brown to Dora's currently sunny yellow to her favourite bubble-gum pink to a brilliant shade of blue…
He couldn't keep the grin off his face or the tears from his eyes. He was overwhelmed, because it was a dream he hadn't even dared dream come true, and he knew he didn't deserve even a bit of it. Didn't deserve his wife, flushed after the effort of her birth, or the child in his arms still covered in fluid and cord attached, waiting for one of them to speak his name.
Dora gave him a smile: encouraging and permissive. Go ahead.
It took Remus a moment before he could.
