snupin100 prompt: big brother

Because of Lupin's lycanthropy, Severus was the one who wound up in a delicate condition. It was Teddy's fault. The little ankle biter had been adamant about wanting a baby brother. One of his mates just had one and apparently it was all the rage. Remus and Severus had been considering it for awhile. Why not now? Things went very well until Teddy found out that the baby was a girl. He'd been so angry he didn't talk to them for days. His drawings were manipulative reminders that he wanted a boy and if they loved him, they'd fix things.

"What does he want us to do, pin it on?" Severus set the drawing down glaring at Remus, hurt clear in his eyes as he ran his hand over his belly. Severus was hormonal and very sensitive, so it was Remus who'd gone in to talk to Teddy about how the parts were not interchangeable. That led to questions about how Severus could carry a child since he wasn't a girl, and Remus came out the other end of the discussion owing Teddy a puppy. He had no idea how that happened, but he had to make the questions stop.

Teddy looked down at the pink, wrinkly bundle in Severus' arms. "She's really small." He clearly was not impressed with this little human being. Severus looked away, trying not to be hurt on his daughter's behalf. Teddy stepped forward, putting his finger on the tip of her nose. She gurgled, looking up at Teddy. "You don't have to pin a dingle on her. Just make it a boy next time." Teddy finally forgave his fathers for the sin of not giving him a little brother because he'd discovered something more wonderful than having a little brother. Being a big brother.
