"What the hell is it?"
Tilting his from side to side, Sirius scrunched his face up. "Hell if I know."
Dropping to his knees, Seth held his hand out to the tiny creature. "Well, look at you." He coo'd in a high pitched baby voice. "If you aren't the cutest wittle thing ever. I could just eat you up!"
"Literally." Sirius chuckled. "He'd be a bite size snack for you in your wolf form."
Staring at the small creature, Seth jokingly licked his lips. "I wouldn't even have to chew. He's so small I could just swallow him down whole."
Sirius threw his head black howling with laughter when the small creature darted out and clamped his sharp teeth down on Seth's outstretched hand. With tears rolling down his cheeks, he watched as Seth tried to pry the small canines out of his bleeding hand.
"Fuck, Harry!" Seth swore. "Dude, I was just joking. Well, except about the cute part. You really are too stinking cute."
Still laughing, Sirius scooped up the tiny animal with ears almost as big as his entire body. "Kiddo, you look like cross between Dobby the house elf and a pygmypuff. Like, if the two had sex and had a baby, you would be the outcome."
Wincing, Seth pulled off his shirt and wrapped it around his bleeding hand. "That was just rude, Harry. I can't believe you fucking bit me. I'm bleeding!"
Sirius held the creature up to his face so he could get a better look at it. It was so tiny, not even two pounds, but it's ears were ginormous. "Is it a cat or a dog?"
"It's an evil piranha with big ass ears ." Seth grumbled.
"Awe." Sirius sniffed, turning the creature around to show Seth. "How can you be mad at this face?"
Seth's heart melted into a pile of goo when creature Harry looked at him out of sad black eyes, his extra large ears dropping at his sides. "I see what your doing, princess, and it's not going to work. Just because your puppy dog eyes works on me when your human, doesn't mean they will work on me in you dog, cat, piranha, whatever the hell you are form. I'm not falling for it!"
Seth sighed in defeat when the creature started making a sad chirping sound. "Fine, you win, Pikachu, but no more biting."
Having heard the commotion, Emmett came sprinting into the room. "Holy shit, is that Harry?"
Sirius set creature Harry on his feet when he started squiggling to get down. "Yup! He finally completed his animagus training." He said proudly. It had taken Harry less than a year to complete his training, something virtually unheard of. It took most wizards years of training, and even then most were never able to complete it. Hell, Harry probably would have completed it months earlier if it hadn't been for his pregnancy.
"I have no idea what he is." Emmett said, his eyes shining mischievously. "But the name Pikachu fits him perfectly. He looks just like a Pokémon."
Growling and chittering, the small creature started bouncing around Emmett with his fur puffed out. "I don't think he likes that name." Sirius pointed out.
Carlisle, who had been quietly sitting on the couch holding his three month old daughter, got up and placed her in her bassinet. After tucking her in, he walked up to his mate and got down onto his knees. Immediately, his creature mate launched into his arms and started licking his face. "Harry is a Fennec Fox." He announced proudly. "A beautiful one at that."
Excited, Harry jumped off his mate and started spinning in circles trying to see himself. He could tell he was small, which sucked because he wanted to be a wolf like Seth, but he could feel that he was going to be fast on his feet. Seth and the pack wouldn't be able to keep up with him, not with their big, bulky wolf bodies.
"Sheesh, settle down, pup, you're making me dizzy," Sirius laughed as he conjured a mirror so Harry could see himself.
Standing in front of the mirror, Harry tilted his head from side to side as he looked at his reflection. Fuck, he really did look like Pikachu. What was with those damn big ears?
Edward started laughing, he had been listing to Harry's thoughts. "I hate to admit it, brother, but Pikachu really is the perfect name."
Huffing, Harry, now Pikachu, plopped down on the ground. There goes him having a cool wolf name like Crusher, Demon, or Killer. He was a freaking eight inch Pokémon with satellite ears.
Carlisle scooped up his mate and cuddled him to his chest. "Harry may be small, but he'll be able to slip into places where the wolves won't even be able to fit their snouts into."
"Not to mention he'll be able to hear things on Mars with those ears of his," Emmett howled.
Carlisle knelt down to place his angrily chittering mate back on the floor, when Edward quickly shook his head no. "Don't, Carlisle, he's planning on peeing of Emmett's leg," he warned with laugh.
"What?" Emmett cried as he started to back away. "Not cool, Harry, totally not cool. We do not pee on family in this house. Right, Carlisle, isn't that one of your rules?"
Carlisle smirked at the fox in his arms as he started running his fingers through his silky soft fur. "I don't seem to recall that rule, but if you must insist on urinating on Emmett, please do so outside."
Harry licked his mate's hand as he settled happily in his arms. He would get Emmett back, but not right now. Right now he was getting the world's best petting from Carlisle. Carlisle's hands were amazing! He didn't know if it was a vampire thing, a doctor thing, or just a Carlisle thing, but his hands never failed to turn him into a big pile of Harry goo.
"I'm so proud that you finally achieved your animagus form," Carlisle said proudly. He knew how much it meant to his mate to be an animagus, in Harry's eyes it brought him closer to his father.
Sirius grinned at his pup, or was he a kit now? He was so happy that Harry decided to give Remus and him a second chance, to allow them to be a part of his and Miracle's life. These past few months since Harry decided to open his heart back up to them had been the best since he lost James and Lily. He forgot how wonderful it was to be part of a loving family. Neither him nor Remus had grown up with loving parents, not even Harry had grown up with loving parents, to be part of this family meant more to them than anything in this world.
There were still some rocky moments, the Cullens were still a bit guarded around them, but they were slowly coming around. He understood why though, they had hurt Harry so badly that he had wanted to give up on life. The Cullens were very protective of Harry, and he was grateful for that. He would never be able to thank them enough for taking his godson in and giving him the family that he had always dreamed of.
Yawning, Harry reluctantly started to squiggle to be put down. He would have loved to have fallen asleep in Carlisle's arms, but he had an appointment with Dumbledore in an hour. He despised portkeying, but it sure beat international flooing. He was going to have to get use to it though, he decided to take the job at Hogwarts as flying instructor. He was nervous about being away from home and Miracle for eight plus hours a day, but it was going to be while she was sleeping, and parents worked all the time, it wasn't as though he was neglecting her. It also wasn't like she wouldn't have a coven of vampires seeing to her every need. His Miracle was so very loved.
Harry surprised Sirius when he shifted back without any issues, it was as though he had been doing it for years. He had been all prepared to talk him through how turn turn back, but his pup did it seamlessly. He should really stop being so surprised when it came it his godson, the boy had a knack for doing the impossible.
Harry stumbled a bit, it was odd all of a sudden being on two legs. "Wow, what a head rush," he moaned, grabbing his head.
"Yeah, that'll take a little getting use to." Sirius chuckled, "At least you didn't vomit your first time like your dad. Actually, I think he vomited his first few times."
Harry grinned, stories about his parents never got old. "Maybe it's because I'm a vampire," he pointed out, though he did feel like he could vomit.
"It gets better with time."
Seth snorted. "Doubt it, he still can't land a portkey and he vomits at least sixty percent of the time. Speaking of portkey, can I go with you to Hogwarts?"
Harry gave his head a little shake in an attempt to clear it. "Sure, but it's going to be boring. Dumbledore is just going to talk to me about the job, show me my office and quarters, even though I won't be sleeping there, and then just discuss anything else he needs to talk to me about."
"Harry, nothing about Hogwarts is boring," Seth pointed out. "I'll just wander around the castle while you're busy with Gandalf."
Rolling his eyes, Harry smirked at his brother. "You just want to slip down to the kitchens and mooch food off the elves."
"What!" Seth cried, acting like he was insulted. "I would never bug those sweet little creatures for their yummy, mouthwatering pastries."
"I should have never showed you were the kitchens were." Harry mumbled with a grin.
"Awe, come on, the elves love me," Seth cried. "They call me Mr. Handsome Wolfy and they love feeding me. In case you have forgotten, Harry, Mr. Handsome Wolfy loves to be fed."
"You're going to get fat," Garry snickered.
Seth ran his hands seductively up and down his rock hard abs and chest. "I'll have you know, there's not an ounce of fat on this sexy ass body."
"I can vouch for that," Bill winked as he entered the room. "And if you're hitting the elves up, bring me back some pastries too."
"Are you ready to go, kit?" Sirius asked.
Harry frowned. "Kit?"
"That's what a baby fox is called?" Carlisle explained.
"I'm not a baby fox," Harry huffed. "I'm a very noble, handsome, stunning adult fox, thank you very much."
"You're an ankle biter with ears that are bigger than what you are long," Emmett snorted.
Smirking, Seth nodded his head in agreement. "You're cute as hell though, I'll give you that. Those ears and that face, I could just snuggle you all day."
"At least I'm not a cat," Harry defended.
"A tiger would have been awesome," Edward grinned. "You could have knocked the pack on their asses."
Harry pouted. "Well, that kind of cat would have been alright. I was hoping to be something big and scary, not little..."
"And as terrifying as a toddler's stuffed animal," Emmett finished.
Harry pointed to Emmett, a look of fake anger on his face. "Don't make me take you over my knee, Emmett McCarty Cullen. Let's not forget who the parent is here."
Emmett threw back his head and started laughed. "I'd crush your puny knee, mom."
Grinning fondly, Harry shook his head. He loved his family, he truly did. There wasn't one thing he would change about his life right now, everything was perfect. Never did he imagine that he would ever be this happy.
Walking up to his godson, Sirius draped his arm over his shoulder. "You ready to go, pup?"
Harry leaned into Sirius' side, it was so nice having him and Remus back in his life. It was going to be a lot of fun working at Hogwarts alongside them. Hopefully the three of them together at Hogwarts wouldn't drive Professor McGonagall to early retirement. He was also looking forward to spending time with Neville who was taking over for Professor Sprout.
"Lets go, pup. The last time I was late for a meeting with Dumbledore, the sneaky old man spiked my tea with a Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes product. I had a two foot long orange beard that sparkled for two days."
Harry slipped away from Sirius to give his mate a kiss and to peak on his daughter. She was sleeping peacefully so he didn't want to kiss her and risk waking her up. She was just starting to get on a schedule and he didn't want to mess it up by waking her early from her nap.
"I should only be a couple hours," Harry told his mate, as he gave him yet another kiss. "Unless Seth gets lost in the castle again." The last time Seth went with him to Hogwarts he got lost and it took him two hours to find him. Well, technically he wasn't lost, he knew where he was the entire time seeing as he was following him wearing his father's invisibility cloak. He had also cast a Silencio on himself and another spell that messed with Seth's sense of smell so he couldn't just sniff his way back to The Great Hall. He had laughed so hard as he followed his stumbling and cursing brother.
"I wasn't lost last time," Seth grumbled. "You tricked me."
Harry grinned cheekily at his brother. "Paybacks are a bitch."
"For?" Seth questioned.
"For the time three weeks ago when you conspired with Fred and George to make it so I croaked like a frog every time I opened my mouth."
"Oh, right," Seth chuckled. "that was awesome. Hey, remember that time I delivered your kid and got up close and personal with your mangina. You owe me, princess."
Harry threw his hands up in defeat. "How long are you going to keep holding that over my head and using it to get your way?"
"Forever, princess!" Seth crowed. "Forever!"
Harry sighed. "Fine, you win. Now let's get going before Dumbledore gives me a beard."
Carlisle and Bill watched fondly as their mates left. "Have you discussed with Seth yet you taking the bite?"
Bill grimaced. "No, but I will. I'm just worried about how he's going to take it."
"Seth isn't like the other shifters, he doesn't have a problem with us. Once he realizes that you're taking the bite so him and Harry can stay together, I'm sure he will agree to it."
"I never pictured myself a vampire, but I'm alright with it. If I don't take the bite then Seth will stop phasing as I age so he can age with me. Eventually he will grow old and die and Harry will be heartbroken. But if I take the bite and stop aging, Seth will continue phasing and Harry will never have to lose him. Seth hasn't mentioned it to me yet, but I know this has been weighing on him."
"And have you found a magical vampire to bite you?"
"The goblins found me one willing to do it for a very hefty fee. They even offered to pay the fee for me if I sign a contract stating that I'll always work for them, but I don't want to sign my eternity over to them."
"How much is the fee?" Jasper questioned.
"In American money, one hundred thousand dollars." Bill sighed.
Jasper whistled. "That's a lot for just a bite."
"Tell me about it. By the time I save up that kind of money I'll be an old man."
Alice came skipping into the room, a big smile on her face and something in her hand. "I had a vision last night," she sang. "I saw you, well I'm assuming it was you but you wizards are always a little fuzzy in my visions, and Carlisle arguing over money. Carlisle wanted to pay for the bite but you stubbornly refused. I then saw the numbers for tonight's lottery." Excitedly, she handed over a lottery ticket. "That ticket is worth eight million dollars so don't lose it."
Bill's mouth about hit the floor. "Are you serious?"
"No, silly," Alice chuckled, "Harry's godfather is Sirius, I'm a seer."
Jasper shook his head in exasperation. "She's been hanging out too much with Sirius and Harry."
Bill chuckled. "Wow, I can't believe this. Thank you, Alice."
Carlisle clapped Bill on the shoulder. "Looks like you need to have that talk with Seth."
Bill looked down at the lottery ticket in his hand in disbelief. There was so much he could do with eight million dollars, so many people he could help. He would love to give some to the tribe, they had happily accepted him and made him part of their family, but they were proud and he knew they would refuse. He prayed that after he took the bite that he would still be part of the tribe, but they really didn't like vampires. They were learning to get along with the Cullens, but they were still guarded and tense around them. He didn't want to lose them, but he could live without them, he wasn't sure if Harry could live without Seth. The bond they had was so close, it was almost as if they shared the same soul.
"I'll talk to Seth this evening about the bite."
"Everything will work out," Allison chirped.
"Did you have a vision?" Jasper asked.
"Nope! I'm just being positive. Everything will work out how it's supposed to."
Carlisle perked up when he heard a small whimper coming from the bassinet. "Looks like Miracle is waking up and that means diaper duty for me."
"You love it!" Emmett teased.
"I do," Carlisle smiled softly. "I love everything about her, even her stinky diapers. She truly is a little miracle."
"I still can't believe we have a baby in the house," Alice gushed.
Carlisle couldn't believe it either. He had been happy before with just his adopted children, he loved them all dearly, but with Miracle it was different. It wasn't because he loved her more than Edward, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice, because he didn't, it was the fact that she came from his and Harry's love for each other. Dumbledore had explained to him how rare male pregnancies were and that in order for Harry to become pregnant, they not only had to be soul mates, but Harry had to love him with every fiber of his being. He never imagined being loved the way Harry loved him, especially with him being a vampire. Even after all these years of being a vampire, he still struggled with feeling like he was a soulless monster. Deep down he knew he wasn't, he knew that he was a good and compassionate man, but it was still hard for him at times, especially when he was feeling weak and desired human blood. To have someone like Harry love him, someone so pure and so good, it still amazed him and took his breath away. Every time he looked at Miracle he saw proof of Harry's love for him and it made him the happiest man in the world.
Picking up his baby daughter, who looked so much like Harry, he gave her a kiss on the cheek then carried her upstairs to change her. He could hear Esme in the kitchen making her a bottle, Jasper on the couch reading a book, Edward was at his piano softly playing, Emmett and Rosalie were out in the garage goofing around with each other, Alice was talking Esme's ear off, planning another shopping trip for Miracle, Severus was brewing his potions, and Harry was at a Hogwarts with Seth. Yes, his life couldn't get any better than what it was right now.
