WHEN: Early Monday evening so there is daylight!
RATING: PG
Remus loved spending time with his goddaughter. He may have been biased, but he thought Hope was just the happiest and most adorable little girl in the world. Seeing her smile melted his heart. He saw both James and Lily in that little face, but her personality was all her own. He didn't want to miss a minute of her growing up like he had with Harry and Teddy. He knew the village was transient, but he clung to the stubborn belief that he'd remain firmly planted in it, just as Lily, James, and all the rest would. They had been there so long. That had to count for something, didn't it? Yet, what if he was foolish? What if his initial worries were right? Maybe the universe was telling him that he shouldn't be so selfish as to bring another baby into the world? Maybe that was why he and Tonks were having such a hard time conceiving?
He pushed Hope on the baby swing, grinning when he heard her squeal. Maybe he should feel content with what he had? He did have so much here. "Thanks for bringing her, Lily." He looked back at his friend with a smile. Sure, he was close to James, but he and Lily were friends outside of that. Even when he experienced trouble with James in the past, Lily had been there for Remus too.
