Bundle of Joy: #82 Careful

“I wanted to call him James Sirius, but Remus said it was morbid,” Tonks teased as she eased the blue-wrapped bundle into Harry’s arms. Harry stared in fascination as the baby blinked blurrily at him.

“It is a bit,” Harry’s grip was ever so careful as he stroked one pinkly rounded cheek with his free hand. “He’s small. I didn’t think he’d be so… perfect.”

“Were you expecting a pink werewolf cub?” She settled against the pillow and winked at Remus, who continued to beam in delight.

“Werewolves don’t have cubs,” Harry answered vaguely. “What’s his name?”

“Sirius James Lupin.”
