When Sirius woke, he found James standing beside his bed, his face lit up with a warm smile.
"Sirius, he is so cute!" James exclaimed, his eyes shining with excitement.
Sirius yawned, his tiredness evident. "He definitely is," he agreed, his voice soft with contentment.
James looked at Sirius with a thoughtful expression. "I'm glad I'm here," he said. "Will you tell Lucius about him? I want him to know about Arias, at least."
Sirius nodded, his eyes still heavy with sleep. "Yes, of course. I'll let him know. It's important for him to hear about this."
James gave a reassuring smile, placing a hand on Sirius's shoulder. "I'll leave you to rest for now. Just wanted to make sure you know how happy I am for you."
As James quietly stepped away, Sirius closed his eyes again, feeling a deep sense of peace and satisfaction knowing that his son was now part of their world and that his friends were sharing in his joy.
A month later, as Arias was adjusting to the world outside the womb, Sirius found himself frazzled and overwhelmed. Despite the healing process and the joy of having his son, the constant demands of caring for him were starting to take a toll. The anxiety and fear of being a new parent weighed heavily on Sirius, and he found himself struggling with unexpected resentment towards the constant needs of his baby.
Regulus was nearby, trying to offer support, when Sirius's patience finally snapped. Arias was crying inconsolably, and the sound seemed to push Sirius to the edge of his emotional limits. In a moment of frustration, Sirius thrust Arias into Regulus's arms.
"Take him!" Sirius said, his voice sharp with agitation. He got up abruptly and left the room, needing to escape the overwhelming stress.
Regulus, startled and concerned, held Arias close. The baby's cries continued, and Regulus quickly made his way to their parents. "Mom, Dad, something is wrong with Sirius," he said urgently.
Orion looked up, seeing Regulus with Arias. "What happened?" he asked, his concern evident.
Regulus's voice was filled with worry as he explained, "He was holding Arias when he started growing angry. He just handed him to me and walked out. Arias is upset, probably from some bathroom problems, and I'm not sure what's wrong with Sirius."
Orion's face tightened with concern. "Let's go see him," he said, turning to Walburga. "We need to find out what's going on and make sure both Sirius and Arias are okay."
The two parents hurried to find Sirius, ready to address the situation and provide the support their family needed.
