The early morning light filtered through the curtains of Sirius's bedroom, casting a soft glow over the room. Sirius was pacing back and forth, each step accompanied by a slight wince as the early contractions began to tighten around him. The pain was still bearable but persistent, and he found himself struggling to find a comfortable position.

Orion Black, ever observant, noticed his son's discomfort from where he stood by the window. With a concerned glance, he moved toward Sirius, his steps deliberate and calm.

"Sirius," he said gently, reaching out to place a comforting hand on Sirius's arm. "Come here."

Sirius looked up, his face etched with both pain and exhaustion. Orion's eyes softened with a mixture of love and worry. Without a word, Orion gently pulled Sirius to his feet, his touch firm yet tender.

"Let's dance for a bit," Orion suggested, his voice soothing. "It might help ease the discomfort."

Sirius hesitated for a moment, then nodded, grateful for the support. Orion guided him into a gentle sway, his arms wrapping securely around Sirius's waist. The rhythmic motion of their dance seemed to bring a sense of calm amidst the storm of contractions.

Sirius rested his head against Orion's shoulder, finding comfort in the steady beat of their movements. Each sway seemed to lessen the intensity of the pain, if only slightly, and Sirius allowed himself to be enveloped in the warmth of his father's embrace.

"You're doing great," Orion whispered, his voice a soft murmur against Sirius's ear. "Just focus on our dance, and we'll get through this together."

Sirius closed his eyes, feeling the strength of Orion's presence and the rhythm of their swaying. The pain was still there, but the simple act of dancing with his father made it feel a little more manageable. The room, with its soft light and quiet rhythm, became a sanctuary in that moment, a place where father and son could face the challenges of the day together.

As they danced, time seemed to stretch, each minute a testament to their unspoken bond. The contractions continued, but with Orion's comforting presence and the gentle sway of their movements, Sirius felt a glimmer of hope. They were not alone in this journey; they were in it together.
