Chapter 24

"Yes you are, you are a little cutie poo," Mrs. Potter said as she played with Ana's feet. She was entranced by the four month old baby, who seemed to want nothing more than to be left alone.

"Cutie poo?" Sirius asked as he set the table for dinner, which was stuffed mushrooms and barley soup. Not incredibly appetizing to Sirius, but he had to try to please Mrs. Potter, simply because he couldn't bear to disappoint her.

"Yes, she is a cutie poo," retorted Mrs. Potter as she resumed playing with the baby's feet. Sirius didn't say anything as he set his own place, next to James's.

After a month of being with the Potters', Sirius was amazed at how…how different from his family they were. Sure, he had stayed there before, but he'd never been there for longer than a week at a time. During those visits they had all been on their best behavior, and now they were…well, they acted like they would have had he not been there. He guessed that everyone put on a show in front of strangers, just so they didn't look like crazy loons.

"You know what," Sirius said randomly, as he put the last piece of silverware, "I think we should teach her the right way to exercise."

Mrs. Potter looked at him curiously. That was a crazy idea, even by her standards. Which made it all the more enjoyable. However, she was only four months old…oh well. "Sirius, is there some reason we need to exercise?" she asked, looking at his once again slender body and her own trim build.

Sirius shrugged. "Well, I s'pose not. Um…" He thought for a minute as he sat down next to Mrs. Potter, with his daughter in front of him. A grin started crossing his face as he got an idea. "We could teach her pointless songs from Veggitales!"

Mrs. Potter smiled at that thought. She loved that movie, although she was forty years old. "I think that's a brilliant idea!" she exclaimed. "Which one do you want to teach her."

Sirius thought again and then stood up sharply in order to pace. "'The Pirates who Don't do Anything'!" he stated with enthusiasm. Mrs. Potter also nodded and counted them off.

Immediately their two voices filled the room, Sirius's sounding purposely bad and Mrs. Potter's simply off key. They sang the chorus and then Mrs. Potter took over the first verse as Sirius exclaimed, "Take it Mrs. Potter." He sat back down and gestured to her to continue singing.

She sang joyfully, as she played with Ana, who was sitting on her lap. As it got back to the chorus, Sirius rejoined her and they sang it as well. Then the second verse came up and Sirius began to sing this time, joy flashing across his face and resounding in his voice. Once again the chorus came up and Mrs. Potter joined him again.

The final verse was done by Sirius, as he was the only one who really knew what the words were. He stood up and even acted it out…kinda. Mrs. Potter and Ana watched in amusement, Mrs. Potter tapping her foot in type with the song and Ana clapping her small hands gleefully. Sirius simply danced around the room, enjoying every moment of the his life.

Once he had finished the song part he stopped singing and looked at Mrs. Potter. "Should we do the skit part?"

She nodded eagerly and began, acting out Pa Grape, a wide grin flashing across her face. Sirius matched her smile and acted out Larry the Cucumber and Mr. Lunt.

During the skit, James had come down the stairs and on their finishing note, entered the room applauding slowly. "That had to be," he started as he approached them, "the scariest thing I have ever witnessed in my life."

"Ah," Sirius said, a mock pout coming onto his face. "You don't love me anymore?"

James shook his head. "No, I love you to death, I just...Veggitales?"

Both Sirius and Mrs. Potter laughed and Anastasia cooed, showing her delight in her sparkling eyes. "Well, at least she appreciated it," Mrs. Potter said as she knelt by the baby again and started playing with her feet again.

"What was that all about anyways?" James asked as he sat down next to his lover. Sirius smiled and shook his head slightly.

"It's a secret," he whispered in James's ear and then giggled. James rolled his eyes and wrapped his arms around Sirius's waist.

Mr. Potter randomly came down the stairs and wandered around as if he were lost. James watched him as he turned the corner to go into the house library and then looked back at Sirius, who looked amused by Mr. Potter's lost state.

"Oh dear," muttered Mrs. Potter as she stood up to go get her husband. "I'd better go make sure he doesn't get locked into another room." And with that she left Sirius and James alone.

"Finally," James muttered and kissed Sirius passionately on the lips, putting his hands behind his head to push him into the kiss. Sirius willingly complied, and they stayed that way until Mr. and Mrs. Potter came back declaring that dinner was ready.

A.N.- I love Veggitales, so if anyone has a problem with that then…well, just skip those parts. Lol. Um, next chapter will be up soon. Teehee, please review and thank you!
