Regulus pov

Everything is hazy, blinking my eyes open, everything is blurry. Everything sounds underwater too, I can feel James sliding his fingers through my hair. "Hi sunshine" ironic because I think he's the sun. "Hi" my voice surprises me, it's raspy and broken sounding. "how are you feeling? Would you like to see our baby?" His voice is soothing and warm, like the sun. I nod, he helps me sit up, rubbing my eyes I see james picking up a small bundle of blankets.

Oh Godric that's my baby. I made that baby in my body. Oh Fuck. He sets the baby down in my arms, moving the blanket from the face softly, I look up at james. "What's the sex?" James just shrugs and smiles. "I don't know, I was waiting for you." He grabs the baby's chart and brings it over, sitting on the bed next to me. "Ready?" I nod, the baby has dark hair that's curling slightly, the nose is small and cute, small little eyelashes that match the dark hair. "Male." James whispers, staring at the little baby boy in my arms.

Effie and Monty walk in with some food and drinks, probably for James and them. "What should we name him?" His hand is playing with a curl from the babies head. "I honestly forgot about names" he hums and smiles at the babies scrunched nose. "I was thinking Castor? because it's a constellation name, James jr. obviously , Perseus because it's a constellation name. And finally Nash? It's also a constellation." He starts rambling about looking up the best constellations at school or whatever, the baby makes a soft tuft sound and looks up at me.

He has big grayish blue eyes and dark skin like his dad, big chubby cheeks to match. "Regulus?" James says, making looking up quickly at him. "Sorry what?" All he does is smile and look down at our baby. "I was telling you names, did you hear them?" I nod my head softly. "Yes. I like all of them except James Jr. obviously." James just giggles, nodding like he knew I was going to say that. "I think Percy is cute" Effie says from across the room, she's stayed quiet long enough, Monty then chirps in. "Nash is very universal."

James smiles and looks at his parents, then back at us. "I'm not sure yet. Can we wait a little bit? To maybe see his personality?" James is nodding already. "That's a good idea." He says, kissing my head gently, making me smile. "When can we go home?" James chuckles. "Well, you need checked on and then we can ask yea?" I pout at him and just look at out baby, "our baby is so cute. He looks like a mix of us." James laughs, his smile so bright. "Of course he does Reg, he's our baby." His smile is bright like the sun, all I can do is roll my eyes.

"Would you like to eat?" Monty asks smiling at us, he's sitting across the room in a chair drinking tea. "No not really my stomach hurts." James turns his head and eyes me, Monty just nods and stays quiet. "It's common to not eat for a while after a C-section, James he's okay." Effie says smiling at me softly, James nods and looks at us. "Can I hold him?" James asks softly, I smile at him softly and hand the baby over to him slowly and carefully. "He looks so much like you." James hums, looking at me. "I think he looks like you."

I just shake my head at that, he clearly looks like James. But then James gets up and starts walking around with the baby in his arms, he starts talking to the baby soft and quietly. All I can do is shift in the bed and readjust my aching body, breasts aching from my body's shock of the baby being out, my belly aching because it was cut open. "Are you okay regulus?" Effie asks softly. "Yea, just sore." I say smiling politely at her.

Staying at the Potters house is so weird, I've never been in such a loving? Environment. "Is the bed comfortable enough for my prince?" James opens the door and walks over with a tray of food. "Yes babes" James just smiles. "How's our Baby?" That makes me look over, at the infant laying on the bed. "He's good." James sets the tray down and strokes his hand over the babies head. "I'm good too, by the way." James chuckles and smiles. "You look great babes." He says softly, smiling like the sun.
