Title: Always and Forever

Disclaimer: I own NO ONE! Aurora sorta belongs to me (as a baby) but as an adult she'll be Buffy so she sorta doesn't belong to me.
Author's Note: HOLY CRAP! It's been a long time! I am so sorry it's been so long. However you can thank 'I made this for you' for this update as she went and reviewed every chapter today (including all my crazy authors notes) and begged for an update so this one is for you! *Smiles*
Author's Note 2: Before anyone asks, yes I went and deleted all the lame authors notes and we're back on a regular track. *Smiles* Now on with the fic.
He couldn't believe it…he really couldn't. He knew that this is what he had been waiting for since the day Beth had come to him and told him she was pregnant, but at this moment it all became real. Beth had given birth to their child, already signed the paperwork giving him full custody, and now he was a father…He had a daughter.
"Mr. Black?" He was pulled out of his thoughts by the young woman in front of him calling his name.
"It's Sirius…Mr. Black reminds me of my father and that disturbs me more than you'll ever want to know." He automatically corrected. It was true, he HATED being called Mr. Black as it reminded him of his father but it also reminded him of his Hogwarts years. Whenever Professor McGonagall would get annoyed with him she'd either scream out his entire name or call him Mr. Black…neither one were acceptable to him so he definitely preferred to be called Sirius.
The young woman smiled at the dark haired man and nodded her head in assent. "Sirius, if you'll wash your hands at that sink so you don't give the baby any germs then I'll take you to see her." It was odd to see a man of his age so excited to be a father, especially when it wasn't his wife, girlfriend, or fiancé who was giving birth…but rather an ex girlfriend who had signed over all parental rights to him. The entire OBGYN floor was informed of the situation between Sirius Black and Beth Monroe in case there were any problems once the child was born. They weren't told why things had gone the way that they had obviously, they were only told that Sirius Black would be called when the child was born (which was harsh in her opinion as most people wanted to see their child being brought into the world) and that after the child was born Beth Monroe would have no further contact with the little one.
The young woman's thoughts were broken when she heard the faucet shut off and she smiled, pushing open the doors to the nursery and heading over to the bed where the newest child lay asleep. The little girl was wrapped in a pink blanket and on her crib it simply said 'Baby Girl Black'. She looked at the young man and smiled, his face was in awe of the child. "We'll need you to fill out the paperwork for her birth certificate Sirius." She told him quietly, not wanting to disturb him or the children around her. She handed him the clip board and watched as he filled it out quickly, having obviously thought about the information that was needed before being handed it back. She smiled in thanks. "I'll give you two some privacy. You are allowed to stay in here tonight and she'll be discharged in the morning so you can take her home." She told him quietly and walked out the door.
Sirius simply stared at the tiny girl In the crib in front of him. He was surprised that the nurse didn't offer him any tips but looking around he saw a few nurses around him tending to other infants so he figured that if he needed help they would assist him. However being a proud man he wanted to try this on his own. However before he could start his fatherly duty the nurse asked him to fill out the paperwork for his child's birth certificate. He quickly did, grinning as he wrote his name next to Father…and felt his heart burst when he filled out his child's name…Aurora Elizabeth Black…Rory for short. After the young nurse had left he stared at the child in front of him for a moment before reaching in and picking her up, cradling her in his arms.
"Hello little one." He cooed in a voice that he never even knew existed in him. He felt lighter, happier, whole…his daughter was in his arms and everything was perfect. "I'm your daddy." He told her. Before he could continue talking he watched as his daughter's eyes opened and he got to witness for the first time his child's eyes. He knew that all babies had blue eyes, but these were different. They were blue as his were…almost to where it looked as if she was looking through you. Sirius couldn't help but stare into his daughter's eyes…it was almost as if she knew exactly who he was and exactly who she was. Her eyes looked happy, but as if they had seem more than he ever would.
Sirius shook his head and grinned down at his baby girl. "I promise Aurora…I'll always be here for you. I love you more than words can say and no matter what happens, I'll always be here. You're my world love…always and forever." He told her.
"Excuse me sir." He turned his eyes to another woman, this one had a name tag on it that said 'Cheryl' on it. "Your daughter needs to be fed. Would you like to feed her or would you like me to feed her while you watch?" She asked in a slightly patronizing tone. Sirius had a feeling he would get this a lot as he was a single father and not even 19 years old. "I'll feed her thank you very much." He told her in the same tone and smiled when another nurse handed him a bottle that had 'Baby Black' on it. He sat down in the rocking chair and for the first time was able to watch his daughter eat her breakfast. He leaned a kiss down on her forehead and grinned. "Welcome to the world Rory."
Alright, there's a long(er) chapter for you to say I'm sorry for the 2 year wait. However I think the reasoning behind this is because no one was reviewing it. I'd love to get a ton of reviews for this chapter but either way I'll update a lot sooner than I did. Thanks to those who have reviewed in the past and hope you like the next installment of 'Always and Forever'
