Slytherin Boys

Ideas and Consequences

(Mommy Remus comes out to play in this chapter XD)

"Harry sleep with Reg?" Harry stuck out his lower lip, looking at Regulus with big eyes that held a hopeful expression. "Love Reg!"

The two had been having this conversation for ten minutes now. The formerly deceased Black sighed. "Fine... You can sleep with me tonight." Regulus picked Harry up. He gave Harry a bath and dressed him in clean pajamas with a new diaper before bringing him to his room. He was doing this as a favor for his brother to have alone time.

"Reg!" Harry squealed, kissing his cheek and cuddling into his uncle happily. Harry hadn't minded staying at Grimmauld Place with his Moomy and Paddy plus uncle Reg. Andromeda had come to check up on him twice too, to make sure he was healthy.

"Yes, yes... Let me get changed." He set Harry on the bed. Regulus changed into pajamas and laid down by Harry, allowing the small boy to cuddle up.

"Thirsty, Reg." Harry spoke after a few minutes, butting his head against Regulus' ribcage.

"Hold on... Kreacher!" Regulus sat up, moving Harry into his lap and staring at the house elf. "He needs a bottle. Preferably with cocoa in it also."

"Yes, Master!" Kreacher vanished and returned momentarily, handing over the bottle before vanishing.

"Open up, Harry." Regulus held Harry against his chest. The thirsty toddler opened his mouth, accepting the nipple of the bottle into his mouth and drinking. Regulus wondered how it would feel to have his own child, looking at the toddler in his arms. Maybe one day.

He felt the bottle slipping from Harry's mouth and he automatically removed it, seeing how the tiny boy was asleep and clutching his pajama top in small hands. 'Too cute...' He stopped his thoughts short, unable to believe he had even thought of something as cute. He was a member of the house of Black! They don't think things are cute and they certainly don't dream longingly of their own children, they had kids to carry on the name! But just this once wouldn't hurt really. Regulus leaned back against the headboard, closing his eyes.

"Goodnight, Harry. Sleep well." Regulus murmured softly, arms around the toddler and blanket covering up to Harry's shoulders.

"Nigh nigh." Harry responded in his sleep, face nuzzling the soft cloth on Regulus.

Sirius checked on them the next morning, snapping a photo of them quietly before moving to tuck the covers up. "Go back to sleep. It's early, Bambi." He saw tired green eyes looking at him from Regulus' chest.

"Want Moomy." Harry reached for Sirius, needing to be changed and wanting his Moomy to cuddle him.

"Okay, sweetheart." Sirius nodded, carefully extracting him after writing a note for Regulus. He carried Harry off to the nursery and changed him there, smiling at Harry's night shirt which was one Andromeda had made. "You need to be quiet though. Moomy is sleeping." He added, not that it was needed because Harry was asleep already with his thumb in his mouth and head on Sirius' shoulder.

Remus sighed in his sleep, subconsciously recognizing his pup being laid against him which was followed by his mate climbing in behind their pup. His sleep dead arms ended up around Harry and one on Sirius also. Moony was only reassured by the faint scent of one of his missing pack members on Sirius, letting him know that all was well.
