James laughed as his friend quickly made a case against the shoes before taking them in hand, full on grinning as Remus went on to say his unborn child was in need of a bow-tie. He was going to leap on any initiative that Remus took, and so followed him as the bloke trekked farther into the array of baby clothes. "A bow-tie, eh? We need to get you one too, Professor," he teased, not able to help himself, as he caught up with Remus. "Right then, baby fancy dress section, where are you..." Hidden behind sleepwear was a wall of the most impractical suspenders, bow-ties, and hair-bows that he'd ever seen, and James let out another laugh at the sight. "Hmm, how bold are you feeling?" he asked in jest as he surveyed their options, hands on his hips. There were too many choices, really, from paisley and pastel to loud and patterned, but could someone really go wrong when picking out a bow-tie for a baby?... After perusing through most of the sections, James clapped his friend on the back, handing him the muggle money and the items he'd held on to for him. "Think it's time to bring this home, mate," he encouraged, pointing him in the direction of the register. "Do you have it from here?" If he was needed, James would accompany him back to the Lupins' cottage. But he figured this part might be something Remus needed to tackle on his own. |

Somewhere between the bow ties and a ridiculously large teddy bear, he’d gotten into an argument with James over baby names. He child was going have a proper name, no matter how many times James suggested that Vladmir was an acceptable name. “Ever hear of a Vladimir being messed with? Not a chance.” It was clear that no matter how good of a father his friend was, Harry had lucked out in the name department. It had seemed like hardly any time had passed before they’d spent nearly an hour in the store, and he didn’t even know what some of the stuff James had gotten him to pick up was for. Remus had to admit, he didn’t realize small, helpless humans required so much stuff.
But it was time for him to go home, and he could feel the worry gnawing in the pit of his stomach as he looked to the registers. Sure, showing up with baby things would probably go over well but what if Charlotte didn’t want anything to do with him? He’d been gone for so long, there was always the chance that she had simply decided her life was much easier without him. “Thanks mate, I’ll pay you back when I can - and don’t say I don’t have to,” he managed out, giving a sigh. “Wish me luck.”
It was off to the registers, and struggling through the conversation with the incredibly nice cashier about how yes, this stuff was all for his baby and well, he was trying to surprise his wife so he hadn’t brought her to the store with him. The lonely walk back to the apparition point was trying on his mind - negative thoughts doing their best to creep back in. One crack later, and he was standing in front of the cottage he shared with Charlotte.
“Hope you’re right James…”
