James felt he should reprimand Sirius for saying cunt in front of the four year old. But he just couldn't bring himself to say anything because he had been thinking it. He opened his mouth to try and say not to use the word but as he looked at Sirius he couldn't do it. The man's eyes were burning with righteous anger. A wave of love swept over James and if he hadn't been sitting he would have fallen over.
Before Harry was born he had worried that his mate would resent a child who wasn't theirs. He had been scared of Sirius disliking the little boy because James adored him. And now, the man looked as though he was ready to kill anything that ever hurt the boy. Were it not for the presence of his son James would have thrown the man down and ravaged his body right there on the bloody carpet.
"Jimmy?" James looked up at his name. He hadn't realized that he'd wandered off in his thoughts. Sirius was standing by their bedroom door. The light pouring from the room framed him and he looked like some vagabond angel. He stood with the little boy resting on his hip and said with a little, understanding laugh, "Coming to bed or are you gonna sit there grinning to yourself all night?"
Standing slowly James moved to follow the pair just as Harry asked rather uncharacteristically loudly, "What's a cunt?"
He wasn't positive but James pretty sure he heard Remus laughing behind his closed door. "Your aunt is one. And you're never to use that word," he said and crossed over to them shaking his head ruefully.
