Chapter 4: The Reunion
Sirius paced anxiously in front of the fire where he hadn't moved since Minerva had told him Snape was going to get his precious baby boy from the Dursleys two hours ago. Just as Sirius was about to snap about what was taking so long, again there was a bright flash of light that caused the occupants of the room to shield their eyes. When the light cleared Severus Snape was standing in the middle of the room with a tiny little boy in his arms who was coveted in all sorts of cuts and bruises that should not be seen on a child. There was a moment of silence as everyone just stated at each other Orion looking around the room in fear as he appeared not to recognise it or the people within the room, when the silence seemed to be getting too much for the little boy who had started squirming in pain and anxiety in Severus's arms Remus stood up and slowly made his way to the man holding his precious baby.
"Ori." Remus breathed quietly but everyone heard with the silence in the room. Orion looked over at Remus his eyes widening slightly in fear or recognition they did not know but they prayed to Merlin that it was the latter rather than the former. "Ori, baby it's Mama Do you remember me?" Remus asked with some slight trepidation as his son just kept staring at him with his wide eyes. Sirius would have laughed and cooed over how cute his son's puppy dog look was if the tension in the room wasn't so high.
After what seemed an age with Orion looking cautiously around the room that no two nearly three year old child should do (and Remus and Sirius promised themselves that they would do their damnedest to get their son back to the excitable little boy he used to be, but for now they were just happy to have him home) Orion slowly but surely reached his arms out to Remus with a tiny smile on his face as he muttered the words Remus and Sirius thought they would never get to hear again. "Mama." Remus could have cried in that moment but instead he took his little boy from Severus with a grateful smile to the man as he held his baby tight to his chest, being mindful of the cuts, bruises and Godric knows what else that coveted his little boy. "That's right baby Mama is here and so is your Dada. We have missed you so much baby and your safe away from the bad people and I promise we'll never let you go." Remus swore as he felt little tears fall against his neck. "Dada?" Orion asked in a nasally voice but he refused to remove his head from Remus's neck or his shirt even when Remus sat down on the sofa.
"Dada's here little man." Sirius said as he sat next to his husband and son in what felt like a lifetime he knew he could never repay Severus for what he's done for them but he had made a start by apologising for what he'd done to him in school while Remus held their baby. He smiled as Orion moved his head slightly so one eye was peaking out at him he couldn't get over that his son was back with them being held tightly as Remus could without hurting him. They had noticed the cuts caused to Orion but they were waiting for Orion to fall asleep before healing him as it would likely be painful and they refused to hurt their son anymore than he was less he associated them with pain and became afraid of them, which is what they didn't want as Sirius knew that if that happened both he and Remus would die if their little boy was scared of them it was a miracle that he even remembered them even with him being a born werewolf as he'd only been a little over a year when he'd been taken from them.
