Chapter Text
The Black-Potter house is loud with the familiar chaos of the group, Regulus, James, Remus, Sirius, Lily, Pandora, Marlene, Dorcas, Evan and Barty. James and Regulus are sitting on the couch basically on top of each other when regulus feels weird fluttering in his stomach.
Regulus suddenly shoots up from his seat “Reg?” James’ concern is promptly ignored as Regulus sprints straight to the bathroom.
When James catches up, he sees his husband bent over vomiting in the toilet. Worry consumes James when Regulus whimpers in pain and James immediately crouches down to hold his lover in his arms.
James asks as gently as possible “Are you getting sick my love?” Regulus sniffles and shakes his head softly before he says, “I felt fine before, I don't think I'm sick.” James nods and says, “Okay. I'm going to ask the group to leave and I'll be right back, okay?” Regulus just nods in response, his mind already racing with all of the possibilities that could lead to him throwing up.
James stands up and walks out of the small bathroom and to the cozy living room where the group is waiting confused on what is happening. Regulus, left alone in the bathroom, continues thinking of why he threw up. He’s never been someone who throws up so it’s strange that he did.
Oh.
Oh.
His blood runs cold as he realizes. He and James had been a bit lazy with protection since getting married. His blood turns cold, they had talked about having kids before, but they never talked about it being so soon.
What if James thought it was too soon? What if we aren’t ready? What if I am like my parents?
Regulus’ thoughts are interrupted when James walks back into the bathroom, His sunshine pushing away the dark clouds and rain his mind is filled with.
“Hi my love, how ‘bout we get into some comfy clothes and lay down? We can take a nap, watch a movie or anything you want.” Regulus just nods again, thinking about how to tell James that he might be pregnant.
Regulus is wearing one of James’ sweatshirts as he sits on their bed waiting for his husband to come back from the kitchen. He was about to get lost in his thoughts again when James walked back into the room.
“I got you some ice cream and candy” Regulus smiles at that, “Thank you Jamie”.
Growing up in The Noble and Most Ancient House of Black, Regulus was never allowed snacks as he had to look the part of the perfect ‘Daughter’. Of course, when James found this out, he decided he would give Regulus everything he was never allowed and more. Since then, James always made sure to have some type of snack on him for Regulus as did Remus for Sirius.
James gets in their bed and looks to Regulus with pure love in his eyes, without losing that love his face shifts to concern as he remembers why they are there in the first place. James sees the nervousness on Regulus’ face and asks, “Do you want to talk about what's going on in that pretty head of yours or do you want to wait until later to talk?”
When Regulus sees that there is patience instead of judgment in James’ eyes he quietly asks, “Can we just cuddle for now?”
Seeing as his husband rarely asks for cuddles out loud James immediately pulls Regulus into his arms and says, "Of course my love."
