Lacy here. So, this is the result of me slowly getting Katie hooked on Remus and Tonks. I started reading through my favorited stories, finding ones I knew she'd like and now I'm here, writing my own. I just gotta say, this is like the third thing I've gotten her hooked on. *pauses* I AM AWESOME! Anywho, this story will take place in Order of the Phoenix with a tiny twist. Not entirely sure what's going to happen. I'm just gonna roll with what feels right. Have fun!

Disclaimer: I own...nothing. Damnit.

Remus turned the page of his book as a small sigh came from his side. He looked over and smiled. Tonks's nine month old daughter was sleeping soundly beside him with her tiny thumb stuck in her mouth.

Remus and Tonks had known each other for almost as long as Remus had known Sirius. Even after Sirius got sent away, the two stayed in touch and when Tonks got pregnant, Remus stayed with her through the whole thing when the father bailed. He now watched the little girl while Tonks worked. Sirius helped too but Remus claimed Sirius was a bad influence after catching his friend teaching Lyra a prank at five months old.

As if sensing Remus watching her, Lyra's ever changing eyes opened. The little girl wasn't quite in control of her gift, passed from her mother, so her eye color was almost always changing. Right now, as she woke, they were purple, matching her hair.

"Hello my dear," Remus said as he closed his book. He picked Lyra up and held her on his lap. "and how was your nap?"

Sirius laughed as he walked in. "You know she can't answer, right?"

Remus rolled his eyes as he settled Lyra into his arms. "Of course I know that, Padfoot but that doesn't mean I can't ask. How do you think babies learn to talk?"

Sirius paused as he started to sit. "Oh, well that makes sense."

Remus shook his head as he stood. "Do you not remember Harry as a baby?"

"Only a little." Sirius said. "Hey, where are you going?"

Remus paused at the door. "Lyra just woke up. She needs her bottle?"

Sirius nodded and shot up. "Right, I'll come with you."

Remus laughed. "I'm still not leaving you alone with her."

"Moony!" Sirius whined as they headed for the kitchen of Grimmauld Place. "Come on! It was once!"

"Once that you were caught." Remus said. "Lord knows how many other things you tried to teach her while Tonks and I were busy."

"Is Sirius corrupting the baby again?" Molly asked as they walked into the kitchen.

Sirius huffed and sat down at the table while Remus shifted Lyra to one hip so he could make her bottle with his free hand. Sirius sat back and watched his best friend with the tiny baby. His little niece had been born four weeks early because of the stress Tonks's job put on her so Lyra was a bit small but still perfect in the eyes of everyone that loved her. None more so then the werewolf currently holding her.

Sirius lied to Remus. He remembered more of Harry being a baby. He mostly remembered Remus was always reluctant to hold the baby for fear of something happening. Of course James and Lily told him nothing would happen. But watching Remus over the last nine months, Sirius saw none of that fear as he tended to Lyra. Now if the bloody git could admit how he felt to Tonks, they could be a happy family.

Sirius almost snorted. He'd have better luck getting Lyra to sprout fur of her own every full moon.

"Order Headquarters to Sirius, come in Sirius Black."

Sirius blinked out of his thoughts and focused on Tonks's face, a mere few inches from his own. Startled, he leaned back but too far and fell over onto the floor. Those in the kitchen laughed, even Molly.

"And they call me clumsy." Tonks said as she moved to Remus's side.

Sirius rubbed his head. "Thanks Tonks, really."

His glare vanished as he watched Remus turn so Tonks could take Lyra but Tonks shook her head, saying she was fine where she was. Remus smiled and kissed the baby's head as he and Tonks moved to sit at the table. It was almost time for the Order meeting and the only people yet to arrive were Dumbledore and Snape.

"Maybe we should put Lyra upstairs." Remus said, as Snape popped into his head. The Potions master made it no secret how he felt about a baby being present during the meetings.

"Non sense." Molly said. "Lyra's too young to be left alone and the kids are at school. She stays here where she can be watched and taken care of."

Everyone smiled. No one messed with Molly Weasley. Dumbledore and Snape soon arrived, the latter with his cloak billowing behind him.

"We probably shouldn't tell Lyra about princesses." Sirius whispered to Remus and Tonks. "She might mistake Snape for one."

Those who heard Sirius tried not to laugh as Snape glared at him. Then he turned his eyes on Lyra.

"What is she doing here?" he questioned.

"She's a baby, Severus." Molly said. "She can't be left alone. Now sit down and let's get the meeting started. Dinner will be ready soon."

Tonks leaned against the door way of Lyra's nursery watching Remus read A Wrinkle in Time to her. Her little girl always slept best after Remus read to her and Tonks could tell she was falling asleep because her hair was turning its natural shade of black and she'd bet anything Lyra's eyes had turned back to their natural shade of blue.

Lyra was her mother's daughter. When it was close to bed time, she became too tired to hold any morph and returned to her natural form. Thankfully as Tonks got older, she found she could hold her morph unless she was just about dead on her feet.

"She's sleeping." Remus said softly from the rocking chair.

Tonks gave a quiet laugh. Of course he knew she was there. Damn wolf senses. She moved into the room and carefully lifted Lyra from Remus's arms and carried her to her crib. Lyra's nursery was probably the only brightly painted room in the house. It was pastel pink, purple and blue. Remus and Sirius had spent three long months getting the room ready for the baby.

"Sleep well, angel." Tonks whispered as she kissed Lyra on the head and covered her with a blanket Molly had made.

Remus stood by the door and waited for Tonks to join him before casting a spell on the ceiling that had tiny fairy lights dancing around the room. They both watched Lyra for a few silent moments before closing the door and heading to join Sirius in the library.

Okay, what was supposed to be a one shot is now another multi chapter story for me. Oi. Don't get me wrong, I love writing but, oi.
