"And so now we welcome you, Harry James Potter, into the family of the church. Let's give him a round of applause, everyone."
Remus bounced the baby up and down whilst all the christening guests clapped.
"C'mere." Lily held out her arms and Remus handed Harry over.
The service finished and everyone made their way outside.
"Do you and Harry want a lift, Lil?" Remus asked his friend.
"Nah, Sev will run us down."
"Dad, Poppy and Minerva have sorted the food for you."
"Crackin'."
"All you have to do is bring the guest of honour."
"Does James seem alright to you?" Remus turned to look at James.
"Seems a bit...moody."
"Mhm."
"Anyway, we'll see you in a bit at the pub."
"Yeah."

"You alright?" Sirius asked as he handed James a pint.
"Yeah." James sipped his drink. "Cheers."
"You just seem a bit...depressed. I thought you'd be a bit happier at your kids' christening."
"Mhm."
"Are you in a mood?"
"I'm fine." James muttered before stalking off.
"What's wrong with him?" Remus asked his husband. Sirius shrugged.
"No idea."
"RIGHT, GROUP PHOTO!" Poppy called. Everyone gathered in front of the camera. Poppy pressed the button before hurrying to her spot. The camera flashed and Poppy checked it. "Beautiful. James, Lil and Harry now." The group moved away leaving the three of them stood in front of the camera. The camera flashed. "Perfect!"
"Can me and Remus have a photo with Harry?" Sirius asked Lily.
"Go for it." Lily handed Harry over. He was still in his white christening gown only it now had a small stain on it.
"He's so lush, isn't he?" Remus smiled as he took the baby from Sirius.
"Yeah, he is." He bounced the baby up and down. "Rem?"
"Yeah?"
"You'd be an amazing dad."
"What?"
"I want a kid with you."
"Huh?"
"You don't have to decide anything now."
"THREE, TWO, ONE!" The camera flashed and Poppy came over to show them the photo. "You look great."
"It's sweet." Sirius smiled.
"C'mere little man." James took Harry from Remus and carried him over to Euphemia. Remus turned to Sirius.
"Yes."
"What?"
"Let's do it. Let's have a baby."
"Really?" Remus nodded. Sirius grinned before kissing his husband. "I love you Remus John Lupin."
"I love you too Sirius Orion Lupin." Remus smiled as he planted another kiss on Sirius' lips. There was a flash and the pair broke apart.
"Sorry, I couldn't help it." Poppy held up her camera. "You both looked so happy."
