It was Christmas morning, James and Regulus were sitting by the fireplace with Harry in front of them.
The small mischievous boy was opening the galore of presents his two dads had bought for him. The boy was often spoiled and that was a common fact in the family.
Regulus spoiled him with the intention that he wanted to make sure that Harry's childhood would be nothing like his own
And well James spoiled him because James' heart was a little too big for the world. He carried this undeniable love for everyone. When it came to his loved ones, he just can't stop himself. He will always go the extra mile for his family because Regulus and Harry are the two people he loves and cares about most and that will stay that way till eternity.
"What did you get, my sweet bambi?" Regulus grinned, looking at the small boy with utter admiration
Harry looked up with the biggest smile, holding up this crocheted brown bear, with two big black eyes.
"Isn't he the loveliest?" James placed a hand on harry's head, gently pushing the hair out of his face, chuckling
Harry nodded enthusiastically.
"Bubby!"
"Is that his name, bambi?"
Harry nodded once more, holding his new bear in the air, exclaiming his name for the whole world to hear.
"Bubby! Bubby! Bubby!"
Regulus laughed, looking over at James.
"Right okay sweetheart, we heard you"
James too laughed, the sound of his son's excitement warming his heart.
"Y'know, auntie Dora made that for you, bambi"
"anny Dora!" Harry squeaked, not quite able to say the word auntie yet.
"I think auntie Dora is actually coming later, so you'll be able to give her a big hug as a thank you" James spoke as he stood up, picking up the wrapping paper that came from the bear's packaging.
"Oh, i'm sure she would love that, Harry" Regulus smiled as he gently picked up his son, placing him on his lap.
Harry wrapped his small hands around his papa's neck, Bubby sitting on Harry's lap.
James came back in the room from throwing the paper away, laughing in awe.
"And i'm sure papa loves your hugs too little one"
Regulus eyes glanced over to look at James. "My love, I think Harry's getting a little sleepy, could you put him to bed for me"
The moment Harry had heard the words 'sleepy' and 'bed', the boy immediately sat up, shaking his head quickly
"No sleepy! no!"
Regulus put his hand to his cheek, laughing. "Oh dear bambi! you'll get dizzy if you shake your head that quickly! Careful, mon fils"
A frown formed on Harry's face as he crossed his arms.
"It's Kistmas!"
James covered his face, his cheeks hurting by how much he was smiling.
"Harry you are absolutely adorable. Papa loves you, but you won't be able to stay awake when your aunties and uncles come over now, will you!"
"hmmm" Hary now looked at James, shrugging his shoulders
"You want to see uncle Siri and Remmy right?"
"Siri and Remmy!"
Harry could never get the hand of saying Sirius mind you saying Remus. Somehow he ended up calling him 'Reeces', so they stuck to Remmy instead.
"Yes bambi, so let's have a little nap now so you can stay up talking to them when they come by later, okay lovely?" Regulus placed a hand on his cheek, kissing his forehead.
Thankfully, Harry nodded, smiling sweetly.
James walked over, picking up the small boy and carrying over to his room where he laid him down.
"I'll see you later, little one" James too kissed his forehead, booping his nose which made Harry laugh like always.
"Merry kistmas Dadda"
James hummed, smiling from ear to ear, "Merry Christmas, Harry"
This was Regulus' first proper Christmas with being married to James as well as having their 3 year old, Harry.
You could say he was somewhat nervous as the Christmas holidays at the black house never went close to what they were like at the Potter's.
Now being a potter, as he was eager to get rid of his name and wasn't even in question of whether he was going to keep it or not, things were more magical, especially in the Christmas holidays.
Things would get overwhelming at times, certain things and events bringing back horrid memories even now he can't get out of his troubled head.
But, James was always there to help him and be there for him.
If Regulus was ever having a panic attack, James would hold him, hug him, kiss his head and reassure him until every single one of his doubts disappeared into nothings.
He loved him more than anything and anyone and appreciated every small or big thing the man would do for him.
There wasn't a single thing about James that Regulus disliked, and he was sure that it would stay that way for eternity.
