It had been a few months since Sirius had committed himself to fatherhood and dare he say he was getting the hang of it. With a little help from Lily things were starting to turn out alright and now instead of calling the expecting mother every day, he had graduated to every two days.
Sirius was settling a cranky Kagome down for a nap when Kreature popped into the room with a soft pop. Sirius had no idea how he did it but throughout the last months the house elf had managed to reduce the noise of his apparations from a resounding crack to something closer to a soap bubble being popped. Kreature already had his crooked nose touching the floor.
"Master has a visitor" Kreature lowered his voice "Dirty werewolf, poor mistress...what would she say. Filthy scum."
While that answered his internal question of who exactly was at his door Sirius still gave the elf a cursory glare as the baby screamed in its crib, "You will stay with Kagome until I come back." Sirius' eyes softened a little as he glanced at the baby in question "Try to get her to sleep if you can."
Sirius took a deep breath as he strode out of the room.
Just when things were becoming normal.
It would have been faster to apparate to the parlour but Sirius was most definitely not in a hurry to see his "guest". He walked as if on his way to his own execution; outwardly confident but inside he was full of turbulent thoughts. He wasn't quite sure how he felt. This was one of his best friends, had been for several years, through thick and thin but he had also left when Sirius had needed him the most. The trust that had been built up over the years wasn't something that disappears so quickly but the seeds of doubt had been sewn and there was no going back.
Without realizing it, Sirius had already arrived and taken a step inside the sitting room.
He opened his mouth before snapping it shut. He wanted to hit himself, all that time he took walking down those stupid stairs and he didn't even know what to say. Remus graciously saved him from further embarrassment, speaking first,
"Sirius," he spoke softly, glancing around the room, looking anywhere but Sirius' face, "I know I didn't leave at the best of times" Sirius snorted, Remus continued eyebrows slightly scrunched as if pained "I- I need a place to stay."
He sucked in a long breath as if preparing for the worst.
Did he really expect to be left out on the streets? Sirius cleared his throat awkwardly "Of course". The two stood stiffly before Sirius popped out of the room, apparating to the nursery.
I'm checking on Kagome, not running away.
AN~ oh my gosh. Oooof. I did not expect to be away from this for so long I'm so sorry. I've been meaning to come back but it's been pretty crazy. (I also had major writers block for awhile not gonna lie). So from here on out it's mainly going to focus on some key events and will be more like a drabble series. What I had intended was actually for this to be a cute prequel type of series for a longer story but seeing how this one is going we'll see if I can even do it (I hope I can). As always follow, comment, tell me what you like and don't like and thank you so much for your support!
