𝔍ames sat there nervously, bouncing his leg up and down like he usually did, anxiously waiting for his wife and honorary brother to return home from the ministry. He stared down at the floor where Sirius and Peter were playing with his son, Peter making animatedly speaking voices for the six animal stuffed toys to speak like each of them- though Sirius argued his accent wasn't right. His mum and dad were sat together on the opposite couch with cups of tea in their hands, occupying their minds by watching Harry play and pitching in when Peter and Sirius argued too loudly.
He smiled faintly when her brother sat down beside him, handing him a cup of hot chocolate when he lifted his head to look out of the window to the crescent moon. He leaned back when Remus lifted his arm over the back of the couch, pulling him into his side, James grateful for the affection but knowing deep down he was feeling the exact same as him, which is why they were seeking comfort in each other. He curses internally, not taking his gaze off the window to the sky, the moon and stars. Melody and Regulus.
"Come on my little moon" He muttered under his breath, lifting his hot chocolate up to his lips and taking a sip before looking over to Harry, becoming increasingly aware it was his bed time, "Ree, come on, bed time" He announced, leaning forward and placing his cup down on the coffee table, waiting as the boy waddled over and stood inbetween his legs, his chocolate eyes big when he stared into hazel ones.

"She's going to kill me if you're not in bed" He told him, the boy not giving up on his scowl, causing him to sigh with a soft smile, lifting him up on to his lap, leaning him against his chest, wrapping his arms around him and resting them in his back. He hummed gently when he nuzzled his neck into the crook of his neck, resting his tiny hands on his chest as he snuggled into him, James moving his head slightly to plant a loving kiss on the top of his head,
"Sirius, bed time" Monty claimed to lighten up the mood, the older wizard gesturing to the stairs with a grin, Sirius pouting at him, shuffling over and standing at his feet with puppy dog eyes,
"Luna" He spoke, mimicking Harry, Remus sighing and rolling his eyes at his husband, turning back to his brother in law and nephew, ignoring the scene replying until he heard a grunt and Sirius had launched himself across the two older Potter's lap as though he was a child,
