Summary
“Seer-us?”
Teddy’s voice is small, even against the silence and Sirius hums in response. He wonders how long they've been laying there for, both unable to sleep.
“Are you my dad?”
He stills. He takes a shaky breath then turns to look at Teddy.

Summary
Maybe he's come to this conclusion on his own. Maybe Remus has been dropping hints in the same way Sirius has. Maybe James has convinced Sirius of something that isn't true.
No matter what, he needs to get it off his chest. His chest aches every time Remus pulls away. He needs to tell him, even if it's just to set the boundary and keep himself from getting hurt anymore.
"I just need to find the perfect moment."
