Lily fixed the two men with a disbelieving look. "You found her on your doorstep?" she asked, incredulous. Sirius nodded while next to him Remus readjusted said baby in his arms "and you're sure she isn't yours" the silence that ensued caused the other two to stare intensely at Sirius waiting for his confirmation
"I don't think so" He corrected.
Lily visibly reddened with anger, "You don't think so? Do you know how much responsibility a child is? And if she is yours are you just going to give her up? Do you know how serious this is?" She was surprised at the two men in front of her. Sure, she knew they were prone to fits of stupidity, quite often in Sirius' case, but this was too much, even for them.
Remus looked highly uncomfortable with the context of the conversation while Sirius seemed almost insulted, "Even if she were mine I wouldn't just, I can take care of her, I just..." he stuttered and tripped over his words in a mix of indignance and embarrassment. Lily sighed and rested a hand on her growing stomach "Look, you need to figure out what you're going to do. You can either keep her or give her to the state" Lily winced minutely at the last part, though the motion when unnoticed. Sirius thought Lily had made the whole thing sound rather cut and dry, a simple decision to make. He wished it were as easy.
Remus took Kagome back to Grimmauld Place to put her down for a nap as she was getting fussy again while Sirius chose to stay and hopefully discuss a plan of action with Lily. He sat on the living room couch and stared aimlessly at the wooden coffee table while Lily left to make some tea. The possibility of Kagome being his child had never entered Sirius' mind. He could already see a tuft of black hair on her head and, while that wasn't a definite sign, he wasn't ready to take responsibility. Whatever he had thought Lily or James might say to him, advice or otherwise, this was not it. He considered it inside his head. They had no way of knowing whether Kagome was his daughter or not and with no last name or documentation to go by they were stuck. He tried to remember what he was doing roughly a year ago and found to his dismay way too many gaps in his memory. Sirius put his head in his hands, closing his eyes with a sigh. What was he going to do?
