Luna pulled away from Harry and moved to the door to give Remus a hug and a kiss on the cheek. Harry watched as Remus spoke to Luna about the baby and touched her stomach affectionately. When Luna's father had passed away when she was seventeen, Remus had stepped in as Luna's father-figure. He had been very close to her mother, Lucy, at school and he and Luna had became fast friends, despite their age difference, when he taught at Hogwarts in her second year. Remus had even walked Luna down the aisle and their wedding. Harry watched as Luna finally walked by Remus to go tell the children that 'Uncle Moony' was here. Harry got up and guided Remus into the living room. They both took a seat. Remus asked the inevitable.
"So, Harry how does it feel to have your baby girls heading off to Hogwarts?"
Harry sighed and replied, "Different." Before Remus was buried in a sea of bodies and children's squeals of delight. Luna came and sat next to her husband as the children played with Remus. Harry put an arm around his wife and buried his face in her silky hair.
"Guys, I think you better let Uncle Moony breathe."
The children started to break away from Remus and he threw Luna a grateful smile. James curled up in his lap as the girls remembered their pets and ran upstairs to retrieve them. Luna got up and walked over to Remus.
"Moony I feel I must warn you. The girls named their pets after James and Sirius. I just thought I'd soften the blow."
Remus nodded, "Yes, I thought they would. They're quite interested in those two aren't they?"
Luna nodded as James crawled from Remus's lap into hers. Suddenly the girls ran back into the room. Lucy rushed over and planted Padfoot, the kitten, into Remus's lap. Remus petted the kitten tentatively. He never really did get along with cats all that great. Luna, who knew this, took the cat from Remus's lap and instead placed it on the floor. Lily took this chance to show Remus her owl, Prongs. Remus reached up to pet the owl who hooted softly. The rest of night consisted of the girls excited chatter about school the next day.
At around 9:30, Luna rounded up the children and made them head up to bed. As soon as they were all tucked in, she went back downstairs to join Remus and Harry. She curled up on the couch next to her husband and listened quietly to Remus and Harry talk about Quidditch. She added a comment here and there but mostly remained quiet as Harry played with her blonde locks. When the men stopped talking about Quidditch, Luna decided to bring the subject she had on her mind.
"Moony, "she began, "you know you are like a father to me and a grandfather to the children. For these reasons, Harry and I would be honored if you would be this child's godfather."
Remus sat in total silence for a few minutes. He couldn't believe what they had just asked him. He had been honored enough when the children began to call him 'Uncle Moony' but this...this was amazing.
"So, what do you say Rem?" Harry asked.
"I say I have never been more honored in my life! A definite yes!"
Luna squealed at this and threw her arms around Remus's neck. He smiled and hugged her back.
"Lu, I think he has to breathe." Harry said, using her line from earlier in the day. Luna giggled and returned to her seat next to Harry.
