If Emmeline started out curious when James mentioned a request she went straight into confused when he continued to ramble on about some Muggle method of having children that involved if she understood it right (and she usually prided herself of always understanding everything right) two women and two men and a whole lot of Muggle healers. Doctors she thought they were called. Still when he finished confusion had given way to complete and utter shock as she stared at him with wide eyes.
"You want what?!?" she asked, her eyes moving from one to the other of them, until she realised that this must be some sort of joke because they did not just ask her to become a mother and then give up all rights to that child? Only it sounded like they did. Which meant they had to be joking. "Sirius, if this is one of your jokes you'd better tell me now, before I start believing you mean it, or I will hurt you when I find out that you're having fun on my expense."
