Sirius

Gone to hospital to have baby. Hope your meeting went well.

Harry xXx.

Sirius sighed. He'd come home early so they could go out to celebrate and his promotion to the head of his department and found a pink, of all the colours, sticky note to announce that Harry was having their son. He'd made it clear that he wanted to be there when the time came for him to be born, but come to think of it, had gone on about the importance of this meeting all of yesterday evening.

Realising that he was brooding over nothing while he could be a father at any second, he rushed off into the fireplace.

Slowly approaching the ward, Sirius poked his head in. His heart gave as much of a leap as when Harry had first agreed to go out to dinner with him. There, Harry, his Harry, was sitting in the bed, looking sweaty and tired, but smiling down at the little bundle of blue blankets in his arms…

Sirius entered the room and Harry looked up at him before whispering.

"Hey daddy, come say hello to your son…"

Remus portkeyed into the yard and was helped up by Sirius, who was grinning widely.

"My god Padfoot, look at you." He said gesturing to Sirius's figure, which was still bulky, but considerably smaller than when Remus had last seen him. "You've shrunk!"

"That doesn't matter. Inside. Now." He said and dragged Remus into the house. He was still smiling and Remus laughed.

"So, you're happy. I take it Harry and the baby are doing okay?" Sirius nodded.

"Got home this morning. About an hour ago. Had to stay a compulsory seventy-two hours for some reason."

"And… what is it?" Sirius hesitated, trying to keep him in anticipation. But only for a very short moment.

"A boy!" He blurted out and hugged Remus excitedly. Remus was their first visitor, Regulus and Opal on a holiday for the next two weeks to celebrate Regulus finally being able to walk (among other things) again, and the first person they could show their baby off to. "They're upstairs."

"Well come on then, let me see my god-grandson!" He said and followed Sirius upstairs. Knocking on the blue door of the newly refurbished nursery, they waited for an answer. Remus looked at the Silver plaque with an engraved name on it.

"Sirry?" Sirius smile faltered.

"Well, can you imagine the confusion of two Sirius's? It's just a nickname; his birth certificate says it in full." He grinned again and a soft 'come in', came from in the room. Sirius pushed the door open slowly and Remus truly thought smiling was contagious, because once he looked inside, he started grinning too…
