Chapter 46

Sirius was resting in his room, watching the crib that sat in the corner. They had an extra room in which they could put him, as Regulus had just left for school, but they wanted Matt to be in their room for the first few months. It was now the second month and he was by far louder than Ana had everbeen. It was amazing how quickly he was growing up. It was kinda scary actually.

The door opened and Sirius looked up. "Hey James," he said. James had been getting more hours at his work and Sirius had seen him a lot less. It made him sad. He missed the days when James would come home early and they would kiss and justbe with each other.

"Hey Padfoot. What's up?" Sirius shrugged and gestured for him to join him on the bed. He did so and kissed him on the nose. "What have you been doing today?"

Sirius leaned onto James and responded, "Actually, the guy from the recording studio gave me a call today."

James looked at him with raised eyebrows. "Why? What did he want?"

"He wants me to do a recording of some of my music tomorrow. I told him I'd think about it and call back later."

"How exciting. You call him back right now and tell him you'll do it."

"I will?"

James sighed and rolled his eyes. "Of course you will. This is like a once in a lifetime opportunity. I can't believe you'd even consider turning it down!"

Sirius rolled his eyes. "Why wouldn't I?"

"Um…I don't know. You should go, though. If not for anything else than to just get out of the house."

Sirius laughed, but quickly sobered up. "What about the babies?" Sirius asked James nervously.

James grinned and shook his head. "I'll watch after them. I'm their father too."

Sirius laughed at that comment and shook his head. "But…I don't really think I'm good enough to do a recording. I've not done anything before."

"Ah," contradicted James, "You are incredible and will do awesome. Just go."

Sirius sighed and walked over to pick up the phone without answering. "Hello, yeah, what up Bud? Yeah, I think I will…maybe…no…hey wait…oh, alright then…no, it's cool…alright, I'll see you then." He hung up and turned to James rolling his eyes. "Bloody producers. Think they're all so high and mighty."

"Well, they are, aren't they?"

"Shut up."

"Do I really have to go?" whined Sirius as he was preparing to leave. James nodded and pushed him towards the door. Matt was in one of James's arm and Ana was clutching to his leg possessively.

"Yes, Siri. Go now or die!" he teased. Sirius raised his eyebrows and then laughed.

"I think I'll leave then. But only because the other option was not so pleasant sounding."

James laughed and watched as Sirius bent down and kissed Ana on the forehead. "Be good for daddy, even though he may seem evil." She giggled and he quickly kissed the still sleeping Matt on the forehead and departed.

"Now what do you wanna do?" he asked Ana. She giggled.

"Legos. Play legos!" she exclaimed, clapping her hands together. James rolled his eyes and walked over to the baby crib that was downstairs, placing Matt in it. He stirred slightly, but didn't wake up.

"I really wish Regulus was back," he muttered to himself as he settled down next to Ana. He really hated legos and always had. They made him angry for some strange reason. However, he tolerated them for his daughter and she played with them happily and together they built a house.

"Well, that was fun," James said once they were finished and watched as Ana got up and walked into the kitchen. "What now?" James got up and found her with the refrigerator door opened and she was peering inside, and pulling out random food.

"Ana," he groaned and walked over to put the things away. She looked at him, highly affronted, but didn't try to stop him or cause a bigger mess. "Sweetie, you can't have things out of the refrigerator. It doesn't work." He pulled her out of the kitchen and then set her on the couch. "Bloody muggles," he muttered under his breath. "They have the kookiest non-childproof things on the planet. Don't know why I even bother."

He sat there watching Barney with Ana, trying hard not to throw something at the television to stop the torture. "Who could possibly watch this without losing their minds? Why would parents expose their children to this? Why am I exposing Ana to this? What kind of parent am I? A bloody bad, schizo parent. Oh dear, the show is affecting me in negative ways. I can't even imagine what it's doing to Ana. Maybe I should change it to something more G rated."

With that thought, James changed the channel and found a basketball game. It was the Lakers. They were winning. Immediately he began cheering them on.Ana watched for afew minutes before settling backand falling asleep.The door opened and in walked an angry looking Sirius. He marched straight up the stairs without saying anything. James glanced after him and then back at the game, torn. Sighing, he stood up and followed him. Sirius had gone into their bedroom and was standing staring out the window.

"What happened?" asked James, coming up from behind him and wrapping his arms around Sirius's slim waist.

"They made me mad so I published a book of my poetry instead," he responded, leaning into James's embrace. James stared at him, pulling back ever so slightly in his surprise.

"How'd you do that? I mean, you go to record a cd and come back an author of a poetry book. How, just how, did you do that?" James asked, completely incredulous.

Sirius shrugged and grinned slyly. "Well," he began, "it wasn't that hard, what with my natural charm. I walked into a book publishing place, handed them some of my work, explained that I had more like it, and they offered to publish one of my books." James stared at him openmouthed. Sirius smiled at him sweetly, "Aren't I awesome?"

"More than you know," muttered James, kissing Sirius on the mouth and steered him over to the bed. He pushed him down and continued kissing him as he fumbled with the buttons on Sirius's shirt.

"Hmm, you are aware that there are children in the house," Sirius reminded James between gasps for oxygen.

James nodded and continued kissing Sirius's amazing body. "Yes, and you are aware that they are now asleep."

Sirius looked up grinned devilishly. "I realize that now. Hmm, where were we?"

James didn't answer, just continued his way down Sirius's body.

A.N. yep, next chapter will be up soon . please review and thanks. (I say that way too much).
