nobody dies AU
when they are around 25, remus and sirius are baby-sitting little 4-years-old harry. as they are playing a card game with him, remus looks at sirius who’s laughing at his godson’s joke, and he realizes he wants a child with this man.
of course he doesn’t say it at first, because of the whole i’m-a-werewolf-i-can’t-have-a-family-i-don’t-deserve-happiness stuff, but after a few weeks he reaches the point where he has to physically restrain himself from asking sirius.
so after a long discussion with james and lily, he finally asks sirius, nervous as hell. needless to say, padfoot immediatly agrees ( because a family with his moony is all he wants in life ).
so they have to find a mother now, and both has no idea who to ask. it’s marlene mckinnon who proposes herself because sirius is one of her best friend – and also because she hopes sirius would do the same thing for her one day. obviously sirius is the biological father because they don’t want their child to be a werewolf.
the day they learn marlene is pregnant is, by far, the best day of their lives and they celebrate for days. the next nine months are more difficult. sirius stresses about everything “moony what color should we paint their bedroom ?” “do we have enough room for their stuffs ?” “are we even responsable enough to raise a kid ?” “what if they don’t like harry ?” “are we close enough to a good school ?” “what if they are in slytherin ?” and it starts to stress remus too. james has to comfort both of them at the same time and start to regret that he ever became friend with these two.
FINALLY the house is ready – they still are in their flat in london and plan to move to a mansion when the kid will be a little bit older, maybe in godric’s hollow too. all the furnitures and stuffs are bought, and they can almost relax for the two months left. except of course they now stress about their parental skills. between two visits to marlene, they read books and ask advices to james and lily. they drive everyone crazy.
and in november, in the middle of the night, they receive a panicked phone call from marlene and they all rush to the hospital. the delivrance is long but remus somehow manages to stay calm enough to take care of both marlene and sirius – who’s running everywhere in panic. james, lily and peter are waiting outside and finally, at daybreak, a nurse announces that the baby is born.
it’s a magnificent girl with marlene’s beautiful blond hair – which looks a bit like remus’s – and big grey eyes. everyone is crying because she is so perfect and small and looks so much like her daddies. remus and sirius are the proudest persons in the world and thank marlene so much she ends up begging them to stop.
sirius insists that they call her lupin because he hates his family name anyway and he don’t want his daughter – he is still not used to the word – to be affiliated with this family. surprinsigly, he also asks remus if they can name her after a star. remus accepts and she is finally named vega lupin, after the brightest star of the lyra constellation.
remus and sirius are the happiest men in the world and vega is the most punk rock baby ever.
i really like writing this so maybe i’ll write more about her childhood and stuffs ? or even write a fanfic ? i need more wolfstar parents in my life…
