Sirius isn't used to a loving family, nor is he used to engaging in fun family activities together; it wasn't a concept that he was used to. So when you suggested taking a bath together with your baby, he was stunned but definitely up for for giving it a try.

"I-Isn't this a little bizarre, doll?" Sirius asks, embarrassed as he watches you undress before him despite his preceding playboy reputation at Hogwarts.

"Not at all, Siri," you giggle and bring your daughter into your arms as you step into the bath, sinking down to sit in between his outstretched legs as his arms sit atop the bath's surrounding edges, "and besides, it'll help Aurelie with her bath phobia,"

"She has a phobia?" Sirius's brows immediately furrow as his worried gaze affixes onto his pouting, teary-eyed daughter, who's being more fussy than usual. How has he not noticed before?

"Yeah," you muse sadly, cooing at your daughter and kissing her temple comfortingly, "she's always fussy when it comes to baths so I thought that maybe if we sit with her, she'll learn to like it,"

Sirius sighs in disappointment, "I'm a bad father..." his face turns sour as he thinks about his own upbringing and how his parents' mistreatment of him is now affecting him as a father and, therefore, his beloved daughter too.

"I know what you're thinking and you need to stop it right now Sirius," your voice is firm and strict as you turn his chin to look him in the eye. There's anger, sadness, guilt and disappointment in his grey eyes, a whirlpool of tormented emotions still haunting him, "you're working so hard providing for us so it's okay for you to miss out on Aurelie's bath times so you can rest,"

"But-"

"None of that-"

"Wahhhhh!" your daughter's shrill cry breaks your moment and you both turn to tend to her discomfort.

"What's wrong, princess?" Sirius coos, his soothing voice and the familiar touch of his hand against her tiny back immediately having an effect on her.

Observant as ever, you spot the problem instantly and lean your head against your husband's shoulder so you could whisper to him, "she probably saw your distress and got worried for you too. Maybe she thinks you both share a fear of baths," you giggle and shuffle yourself and your daughter closer to your husband, "lets show her that there's nothing to fear,"

Smiling warmly, the earlier negative thoughts long forgotten, Sirius coos at his daughter, "don't be frightened baby," he creates small waves in the water with his hand. He then presses his fingers together and lifts a small cup of water up to cascade over his daughter's small shoulders and back, "see? It's safe, you're safe,"

"Daddy will keep us safe and happy, darling," you coo and kiss her cheek as Sirius kisses her other cheek, "we can relax when Daddy's around," it takes a little more convincing but Aurelie finally seems to be comfortable enough with the water to splash it with her tiny hands and squeal in delight.

"Good girl, see? All safe~" Sirius coos, expression warm and so full of love as he looks adoringly at the manifestation of his and your love ⏤ his perfect little princess.

"Good job, Daddy," you coo and kiss his jawline, feeling his cheeks round into a smile before he turns and kisses your temple.

"Je t'aime tellement,"
