Sirius’ brain had stopped working hours ago. He had been tired for over a month now but today was even worse. For over an hour he had starred at the coffee mug which content had kept him alive during the day. Nicolas had been cranky for the last two days and somehow Gen had decided that she needed to cry whenever her brother did. Maybe they just missed Lily as much as he did. In a way Sirius found comfort in this thought.
Slowly, Sirius was beginning to settle into a baby caring routine. Handling them got easier every week; he found new spells that helped him and new ways to stop their crying. He still had a hard time connecting to them. Sometimes he thought that he might eventually be able to love them and even felt his heart warm when one of them smiled or stretched out their little finger. But then there were times when he looked at them and felt like they were just a duty that made his life harder, that spoiled his second chance at life before he had to return to the nightmare that was his first.
Sighing, Sirius got up from the kitchen table to refill his mug with the brown treasure.
