Little Moonfoot

Do you want a baby

"Hey moony" said Sirius lying down on their king sized bed and pulling him closer. He threw some warm blankets around them and snuggled up to Remus.

"Hmm...." Remus tired from the mission that they had been on the last couple of hours.

"Have you ever wanted to have children?" Sirius asked out of nowhere.

Remus was wide awake now, his eyes widened as he realized what his husband was saying.

"Are you serious?"

"Of course I am. Honestly all these years and you still can't recognize me? I'm offended" He said with a dramatic sigh.

"Sirius black you absolute prat. After all these years, I should have known not to walk myself into that trap. Alteast you were joking about the children thing." Said moony and launched himself into the other man trying to tickle him. This soon transformed into a full fledged tickle fight between them. Finally, Sirius pinned him down with his hand behind his back and gazed into the eyes of the man panting under him and took a deep breath. A deep blush crept into Remus's cheeks.

"I'm not joking moony. James and I were talking about it today and—"

"But we're nineteen"

"And there is a war going on" This silenced Remus. He knew that people were trying to move a lot faster in their lives because of the war. James and lily had gotten married in the fall just a year after graduating from Hogwarts and so had Alice and Frank. Even they had sat down and had a discussion one day and decided that they were practically married and there was no point in putting it off or having a ceremony because they would not be recognized by the law anyway. So they had just had a simple ceremony and dinner party in the potter manner with all the third year Gryffindors in England.

"Hey moony I don't want to get a child tomorrow okay I just want to know if you want a kid sometime you know"

"Yes" The words were out of his mouth so fast he couldn't believe it but it was the truth.

"Yes Sirius Orion Black the third I would love to raise our child. If a man of my condition can legally raise a child that is."

Sirius's face lit up in his brightest smile and he kissed him tenderly, their breaths mingling until they were one. "Who cares about the law Remus it's not like we have really obeyed all laws now have we." he said referring to them becoming Animagi.

"Maybe we could just smuggle a baby from somewhere you know. A lot of babies are getting abandoned in the war."

"Ya so fuck the law huh?" said Remus with a sly smile knowing that him swearing turns on Sirius more than he would ever admit.

"So you think we should start trying." Said Sirius as he took off his shirt.

"I'm sorry what" said a confused Remus.

"The baby just doesn't come from nowhere moony, the baby comes from love." Said Sirius now taking off his pants.

"You know that we can't get pregnant right Padfoot" protested Remus but all logic was thrown out of the window when Sirius climbed on top of him and started kissing him.

Sirius and Remus stepped out of the fireplace at the potters flat in London. It had been difficult to sanction a floo connection in the middle of a Muggle settlement but James potter being the persistent prat he is, had done it.

Sitting on the counter were James and Lily looking rather smug.

"Hey mate" said Sirius and bumped shoulders with James and Remus gave lily a hug.

"What is it?" asked Sirius.

"What is what?" said James.

"The thing that you had wanted to tell us"

"What thing?"

"You have been smug about this whole affair since yesterday. Is it a prank?"

"We are waiting for peter" said lily breaking the boys banter.

Peter arrived five minutes later. "Hey everyone. Am I late?

"No Pete you are on time now come sit here," he said and motioned to the couch were Remus and Sirius were seated.

"Now I'm really getting worried James. First you call an emergency marauder meeting and then you make us sit in a line. Something is up"

"We're getting a new marauder" said James

"New marauder? This is outrage. I told you something was up moony. "Said an appalled looking Sirius.

"If you mean lily, then we already consider her honorary marauder" supplied Remus.

"What James means is—" said lily silencing them, "I'm pregnant."

"Congratulation guys. Said Remus hugging lily"

"This is awesome. Said peter."

"Mini marauder." Said Sirius.

"My life's mission is finally completed." Said James

"What is that about?" asked lily

"Oh in second year, prongs here decided that you lily Evans were going to be the mother of his children" said Sirius.

"And hence he has tried to woo you ever since" said peter.

"So the whole charade about love, affection and devotion was just a ploy to get me pregnant huh?" said lily.

All the boys laughed and James kissed lily. The rest of the evening was spent in joyful banter between the friends. After a long time, they spent one evening without the threat of war looming over their neck.
