"You have one tough kid Harry," Jim exclaimed that evening in Spock and Jim's living quarters. They were playing chess while Harry finished up some last minute paperwork, his fingers flying over his PADD. Glancing up curiously he questioned, "Oh yeah?"
"He confronted us today about our relationship. It was concluded that he merely wished to ensure your happiness," Spock explained as he moved a rook.
"What he said."
Harry chuckled smiling fondly. Shaking his head he sighed not really that surprised that Teddy sought Spock and Jim. The wizard made it a habit to never hide anything from Teddy unless it was something that needed to be held off until he was more mature to understand; like his birth parents. Harry had loved Remus and Tonks therefore he would never deny Teddy the right to know about them. But his son was still at an age where he wouldn't be able to understand why he was in Harry's care rather than his real parents. Plus it would no doubt be shocking to learn that something you thought was true wasn't really.
"Did he now? He's becoming more like Remus and Tonks every day," Harry sighed.
"Who?" Jim questioned looking up from the board in confusion. Spock also turned his attention to Harry obviously wishing to know the reason behind his comment. Harry smiled, "His mum and dad."
"Forgive our curiosity, but we were under the impression that Teddy is your son," Spock stated.
"He is legally, but biologically he's not mine. I knew his parents when I was at Hogwarts. His dad was my professor for a time and my unofficial godfather. Remus was also a werewolf while Tonks worked for the Aurors (our version of muggle police) and a Metamorphmagus. Meaning she had the ability to change her hair, eyes, features, etc. hence where Teddy gets it from. Teddy also retains traits of a werewolf. He won't become one even with a full moon, but he has a better sense of hearing, small, sight, he tends to growl a bit and he likes his meat rare. But getting off topic, Remus and Tonks both died during the war as well as Teddy's grandmother. Since I was named his godfather when he was born, I was the only one who could look after Teddy even though I was eighteen at the time. So I did and he did become my son in all but blood," Harry explained.
Spock nodded in understanding while Jim smiled, "That was pretty amazing of you Harry. I don't know if I would have been able to do that."
Harry rolled his eyes, "You would have done the same thing Jim. You're not heartless."
"When will you reveal to Teddy the truth about his parents?" Spock interrupted. Harry shrugged, "Eventually when he's a little older. Teddy's smart, but I don't think he'll quite understand the circumstances fully."
"You know you're a good father Harry and that Teddy's not going to love you any less when you tell him the truth," Jim said his gaze focused on the wizard. He understood the logic behind Harry's reasons to not reveal Teddy's true parentage, but it was obvious there were emotional insecurities involved as well. Harry shifted his grip on his PADD tightening slightly. Jim obviously hit the mark.
"Jim is correct Harry. Teddy has looked to you as a father since he was a babe and nothing will change his adoration for you," Spock supplied trying to sooth him. The young doctor bit his lip, "I just… I love Teddy. He was what kept me going for so long, what kept me fighting even when I wanted to give up. And the thought of him not caring anymore or even hating me… I don't know if I'd be able to go on."
Quietly standing, Jim knelt before their companion tenderly setting aside the PADD and holding his hands. He murmured, "Spock's right, Teddy loves you without a doubt. You've taken care of him since he was a baby and fought tooth and nail to provide for him despite that you were a stranger in a new world. You've been the one to take care of him when he's sick, chased the monsters away, kissed his scrapes and bruises, made him snacks and read him stories. You've given a lot for him, shown him that he is loved and cherished. What teenager… what young man would do that?"
Bottle green eyes softened as Harry reached up to run his fingers through golden hair. He sighed, "I'm really beginning to wonder how exactly I've survived this long without you two to keep me in check?"
Jim grinned, "Well you had your friends, then you had Teddy. Now it's our turn to take care of you."
"Indeed, there is no reason to shy away from us should you feel the need to seek either comfort or council. We are more than willing to provide both."
"Yeah so don't worry about it. You're not going to be left behind by any of us," Jim comforted leaning up to place a soft kiss on his lips. Harry blushed returning the gesture; it was gentle and chaste, but conveyed their feelings. Pulling away, they gazed up at Spock who was hovering next to them merely watching them with fondness in his eyes.
Offering a timid smile, Harry held out two fingers in question. The Vulcan returned the gesture as he pressed their fingers together while leaning down to exchange a human kiss as well. Jim just grinned watching them unable to remember the last time he truly felt this happy. No matter what came their way, they would do what they could to handle it.
