"I know you will," she said, confident in the fact that if this was truly what he wanted, Sirius would find a safe way to bring it about. Even if she had to beat sense into him. Luckily, they had her to help them. She grinned at Sirius, kicking him lightly under the table.
"Talking's not a bad idea, and research will definitely help. If you like, I can ask some of the women at work for recommendations. I'm sure these modern girls have more of an idea than you or I," she said, thinking it over. "There's a couple of Muggleborns in the department, I could start with them without ever letting on that it's for you and Jamie, in case you want to keep this private."
It was a good idea actually. She could do with the knowledge herself, in case sometime in the future she and James had trouble conceiving. Not that she thought they would, Harry had come about naturally enough, but it wouldn't be unheard of for things to have changed.
She didn't answer Sirius' question right away, instead thinking it over a bit. When she was ready she leveled him with a serious gaze. "It was the scariest, most stressful event I've ever gone through. I was always exhausted, James was miserable and we fought constantly for the first month after Harry was born." She took a deep breath, and then her face broke into a brilliant smile. "But it's also the most amazing, wonderful, exciting, brilliant, wonderful time. To know that there's this little person depending on you, trusting you completely, loving you unconditionally. It's...I can't really describe it, Sirius. How it felt when Harry opened his eyes and looked at us, grasped our fingers for the first time. I remember so clearly his first smile, even though it was probably gas, and the first time he laughed." She was crying a bit now, because that had been so long ago and she'd missed everything.
"When I first came back, I thought I might die again, I missed my baby so much. Your child is everything to you, more important than anything else, even your spouse. I'm not even remotely joking when I tell you that I'd give my life for Harry's, even if it meant he got to live just one minute longer. And I know that James feels the same way. Having a child, one that's yours, changes you Sirius, in ways I don't think you'd understand even if I could describe it to you. But you will understand, as soon as you hold that child in your arms and just watch him or her breathe."
