Early one morning, Harry awoke to shouting. He looked over to the otherside of the bed and found it empty. Not really a surprise. SinceSirius had started fixing up the house and working a job to support them and in Harry's case, taking care of Crosby full time, they had just been too tired for sex and usually by the time one of them got into bed, the other was already out like a rock.
He stood up and stretched before pulling on his dressing gown and making his way to Crosby's room. He opened the door and found him standing up screaming something that sounded remotely like 'mommy!' As soon as he saw Harry he stopped and gave a cheeky smile at the look of annoyance of his tired mother's face. He held out his arms and Harry picked him up.
"What's wrong Crosby?" He sighed and Crosby snuggled up against him. "No reason for waking me up at the crack of dawn then?" Crosby shook his head against Harry's shoulder. "What do you want to do today then?" He asked and again, Crosby squirmed uncomfortably again.
"Too hot." He said and Harry didn't disagree. It was much hotter here than back home. Hot to the point of making you rip off your own skin off.
"I know, why don't we go for a swim in the pool out back?" He asked him.
"What's swim?" Harry could have slapped himself. Though Sirius and him had bought the little costume before he was even born and they had had a pool in the backyard for the whole time they had been there, Crosby had never been in water besides his bath and hygiene stuff. He put him on the changing table and changed his dirty nappy before getting a small black wetsuit-type costume with a set of water wings out the cupboard and dressing Crosby in it. He took Crosby to his own room and put him on the bed while he got changed into a pair of shorts.
He picked him up again and got two towels and they went outside to the closed off backyard. As Harry held onto Crosby and put him on his hip as he took him deeper into the water. He felt a weak jerk in his abdomen and smiled at his children's first movement. He put it to the back of his mind for now.
Unsurprisingly Crosby seemed to enjoy it and within minutes of Harry putting him on the shallowest step, he had started to splash around. Harry heard a noise from the side of the house and turned to see Sirius standing on the balcony trying to pull something.
"What are you doing?" He asked.
"Trying to get this stupid door to open." He said and Harry nodded as he spotted the ladder leaning against the banister. Sirius pulled harder and the door came loose with a loud crack. Crosby, who had just been working up the courage to go under the water, got a fright and fell face first into it. Harry immediately pulled him back up and held him over the bricks so he soon coughed up the mouthful of water.
He started crying and Harry took him over his shoulder, reassuring and calming him. After he had stopped crying, Harry dried him and put him down on under the shade of the canopy nearby so he could at least towel himself off a little bit. There was a whistle from behind him.
He could feel Sirius's eyes staring at him and he gave him a flirty smile. Sirius called him over and as soon as Harry got near enough, was pulled against him by his future-husband's strong grip and wrapped in an embrace and a passionate kiss.
"Haven't seen you in ages," He said breathlessly when it ended and Harry just looked at him in with a smirk on his face and a dreamy look in his eyes. Sirius pulled him back slightly and looked over him. "Bit bigger than last time," he said poking Harry's stomach gently and Harry suddenly snapped awake.
"Whose fault is that?" He asked, his cheeks going red and pulling away from Sirius, his arms covering his middle. It was true he had put on a bit of weight but that was mainly from the healer appointment when Sirius had seen how thin he had been. Even though he had barely spoken to him, had managed to to make sure he ate enough for both children and himself.
"Aww, love, you know I don't mean it like that," He said rushing to hug Harry again, who turned away from him sadly. "Besides, it's not anyone's fault, we knew this was going to happen anyway when you found out you were pregnant again."
"No one's fault? Maybe it has something to do with you practically forcing food down my throat everyday." He sniffed and Sirius, despite Harry trying to push him off, held on.
"I'm sorry baby, I'll make you a deal, I promise I wont be so forceful if you promise that for the next eight months, or at least until the babies are born, you wont skip any meals." Harry stopped for a moment to consider this before shrugging and turning around again his lovers arms.
Only a moment into the kiss, Harry pulled away again and Sirius frowned. "What's wrong?" He asked and Harry rush over to the canopy. Sirius realized that Crosby wasn't there anymore and joined Harry in searching under the tables and chairs. They both froze when they heard giggling from the forest behind and before Sirius could stop him Harry had disappeared through the trees.
Sirius had no choice but to follow and attempt to keep up. Eventually Harry stopped and Sirius saw him leaning back cautiously against the tree. He frowned and then looked to the middle of the clearing.
"Oh god." He whispered and fell as far back as Harry.
Crosby was stting on the ground talking to a snake at least three times as big as the toddler.
"Leave him," Harry hissed to the snake and Crosby looked at his mother strangely for a minute before laughing.
"Mummy." He hissed.
Cliffy-master ridesagain. >:D(don't even ask)
