#Remus with a baby!

[avp23]

I just saw a post from @archergirl about Remus being good with baby Harry and it reminded be of a snippet from a wip of mine that I’m quite proud of.

Wolfstar, single-dad-James, and wolfstar’s kid Teddy are heading to Hogwarts for Harry’s graduation ceremony.

~

James led the way into the next carriage, Remus carrying Teddy while Sirius brought up the back. Outside there were distractions but in here memories of their shared past pressed in at all sides. The absence of a fourth member of their party loomed over them but not yet brought up. Then again, of course there was a 4th person in the carriage. James took the seat on the bench across from Remus and Sirius and leaned forward.

“Can I hold him?” James asked.

Remus looked at him and looked down at Teddy, then glanced at Sirius. Sirius broke out into a grin. “Go on Moony, give it a go. Hand him over to Prongs.”

Remus looked concerned. James wasn’t sure what this was about. He had held Teddy tons of times, often watched him alone. Harry’s last semester at Hogwarts had been busy so it had been a while since the last time but not for any other reason.

“Alright…” Remus said. Was that skepticism in his voice? He slowly held Teddy out and James put his arms out to catch him. Teddy began to squirm.

Godrick, James remembers when Harry was this small and would do this. James adeptly grabbed the baby and brought him close like Remus had had him, swaying back and forth. This did not have the soothing affect he expected. Teddy fussed more, squinting up at James. The wailing returned once they had made eye contact.

James couldn’t help but laugh as he looked up. Remus sat across from him, a look of serious resignation on his face. Beneath his eyes, dark purple circles bloomed and now that he thought about it, Remus hadnt said much that night. Next to him Sirius grinned, looking disproportionatelychipper.

“See Prongs, little Teds has chosen a favorite.” Sirius explained.

James raised his eyebrows and grinned. “Oh is that so? Naturally it’s you yes? Gorgeous long black hair, pure blood?”

“You’d think wouldn’t you?” Sirius leaned over and slung an arm around Remus, looking at his partner, eyes overflowing with affection. “Nah. He’s got better taste than that.” Wailing rang around the small carriage and Remus reached out. He gruffly plucked Teddy out of James’ arms and settled him back into his own. The baby’s cries ceased.

Remus looked up at James, communicating everything through a look. Are you seeing this? Do you understand what I’m going through here?

“Isn’t it great? He hasn’t been able to stand anyone else since the last full. Leaves me over here feeling like chopped liver.” Sirius huffed.

“Aww, Remoo the baby whisperer!” James cooed.

Remus tilts his head back with a thunk on the wall behind him and closes his eyes. “We’ve had to move his crib over to my side of the room. Right next to my bed. I’m sure if he had it his way he’d be in the bed with us, completely unaware of the fact that he would be crushed.

“Yeah, right little git.” Sirius added.

“Prongs, please make it stop. I’m not built for this. My elbows are locked into this cradling shape. I feel the ghost of his weight even when I’ve put him down. He won’t let anyone else hold him! I can’t take a shit without the soundtrack of a baby crying!”

love that hc where james doesn’t really like being called “jamie” but goes absolute stupid when regulus calls him that. i mean, in general, he’s all so grumpy and frustrated that no one bothers to just add a fucking s to “james”, but whenever reg says it so casually like “thank you for the tea, jamie” or “no, i’m not busy, jamie” or “that’s alright, jamie” his mind just goes lalala i’m so in love hihi

Remus Lupin x Fem!Reader ☼ 659 words

"Y/N, love, what should we name him?" James asks curiously from his seat beside you.

For the past twenty minutes, you've been nestled on the couch between James and Remus, completely engrossed in the romance novel cradled in your hands. The story is reaching a pivotal moment, and your anticipation grows as the main characters edge closer to acknowledging their long-held feelings for each other.

James's right arm rests comfortably behind your shoulders, a reassuring presence, while Remus quietly turns the pages of his own book, the room enveloped in a serene hush. Despite the delay of Sirius and Peter, you hope they'll at least allow you to savor this crucial juncture in your literary escape.

"Name what—" you begin, turning to look at James curiously. But a sharp shriek escapes your lips as you spot a fairly giant spider crawling across his left hand. Your book slips from your fingers, forgotten, as adrenaline kicks in. 

In pure desperation, you scramble across the couch towards Remus, your movements quick and almost frantic. With adrenaline coursing through your veins, you find yourself in his lap, straddling his thighs. Remus, caught off guard, drops his book with a soft thud, his arms reacting instinctively to encircle you. His solid and reassuring arms pull you close against his chest, your own chest pressing firmly against his sturdy torso while you loop your arms around his neck for added security.

You watch James with wide eyes and parted lips, a sense of panic creeping in as he flashes you a teasing grin. You know he's about to tease you— it's inevitable.

“You don’t want to hold him? I can just plop him right-” James extends his left arm towards you, his tone teasing. 

Your reaction is immediate—a gasp that turns heads in the room, “Don’t you fucking dare!” You cling to Remus all the more, your fear palpable as you avoid any closer contact with the unwelcome intruder.

You and James both know there isn’t much of a threat behind your words. It’s hard to come across as intimidating when you’re buried in Remus's arms, seeking refuge from James's teasing.

"You can't keep running to Remus every time you have a problem." James teasingly huffs out, recalling the countless times Remus has scolded him for teasing you.

"Yes, she can." Remus asserts firmly, his voice carrying a hint of protectiveness.

"I promise he won’t bite." James continues, carefully adjusting his hands, one in front of the other, to let the spider crawl freely.

"Mate, leave it alone." Remus grumbles, adjusting your position so you nestle closer into him. Your cheek finds a comfortable spot on Remus’s shoulder. You consider giving James a defiant glare, but then remember he could easily toss the insect in your direction.

"I’m just teasing her. She knows I’m just messing around." James protests.

“James, leave her the fuck alone." Remus snaps sharply. James quickly complies, dropping his hand towards the floor and shaking off the spider. You watch with tense shoulders as the arachnid scurries off towards a dark corner. James glances nervously at Remus, guilt prickling in his stomach as he meets Remus's searing glare.

He knows better than to push Remus when he’s agitated, especially when it involves the girl he's so desperately into.

Several minutes passed in silence before James broke it.

"The spider's gone, love. You can get off his lap now. I'm sure Remus wants to go back to reading his book alone." He teases with a mischievous glint in his eyes, throwing a playful jab your way as he eyes how content you look being held by Remus.

"If Remus doesn't mind, I think I'll stay right where I am." You retort with a hint of defiance, glancing at Remus for confirmation. He responds by pulling you closer, his arm wrapping protectively around you, and giving James a pointed stare that silently asserts your decision to stay put.

That settled that.
