Chapter 3; The Best Big Brothers
By the time Audrey had the green light to go home, Lianna and Holly had been passed around the entire group of friends. Holly, who had had time to rest by then, didn't seem to mind it near as much as Lianna who just wanted to sleep, and by the time it was Andrew's turn to hold his baby sister, she was screeching crankily. Andrew wailed out, matching his sister's mood as Langston took Lianna from the boy's arms and handed her off to Severus.
"Are you hungry? I bet Mummy has some nummy milk for you." Severus said to Lianna. Her mouth was wide open, face becoming red from her fit. He went off to find Audrey who had disappeared to make a bathroom run.
"But it's my turn!" Andrew cried out, horror struck that he was forgotten about. His hands stretched out, chasing after Severus. Everyone got to talk to Lianna but he! Langston stopped him from getting too far and disrupting the other patients. Andrew's eyes welled up with tears. He wanted to talk to Lianna. "That's not fair!" He yelled, jumping up and down.
"Andrew, calm down." Langston told him. "You'll get your chance. Lianna needs food now though."
The boy was shedding full tears now, and he wiped his flooded eyes with the sleeve of his shirt. "I want to hold her now!" He screamed
Sirius had been talking with James when he heard the tantrum his son had started. He excused himself and went to tend to his son. Langston was scolding Andrew for his behavior as Sirius approached.
"Andrew, what's your problem?!" Sirius asked harshly.
"Dey won let be hall Liabba!" The boy wailed through sniffles. "Ibs my burn!"
Sirius sighed, and tried to ignore the attention his boy was getting from surrounding witnesses in the waiting room. He bent down to Andrew's level. "Stop that right now!" He growled into the boy's ear.
"But-"
"No buts, Mister! This is not appropriate behavior, and you know it!"
Andrew stuck out his lip in a pout and sniffed deeply with a wet noise.
Sirius conjured up a tissue. "Blow it out, not in." He said, handing it to the boy. Sirius discarded the used tissue when Andrew's nose was relatively clear again. "Are you done being a baby now?"
Andrew looked down sadly and nodded silently.
"Good then." He took Andrew's hand. "I got him now." He said to Langston. "Any idea where Audrey went?"
"I'm right here." She announced, walking up to them. "Where's Severus? And Lianna?"
"What happened?" Remus asked Sirius, noticing Andrew's puffy, red eyes.
"Severus went looking for you, he has her." Langston informed Audrey.
"Andrew had a baby fit." Sirius explained, giving his son an unamused look. "I think he needs a good rest."
Audrey nodded, heaving out a tired sigh. "I think we all do."
"I can take Andrew home with me, if you want." Sirius offered.
"But I didn't get to talk to Lianna!" Andrew whined.
"Haven't you already, sweety?"
"No!" Andrew answered his mother with narrow eyes. "Everyone else got to though!"
A baby's wail made Audrey look up from her son.
"Audie!" Severus cried out in a plea.
"Oh, Sev!" She gave an exasperated chuckle before hurrying up to him and taking Lianna from Severus who looked pathetically helpless, unable to settle the crying baby.
"Mummy!" Andrew yelled, glaring at her.
"What, Andrew?" She asked, tucking the crying girl into the crook of her arms, cooing at Lianna to get her to cease her crying.
Andrew stamped his foot. "I want to talk to my sister now!"
"What did I just say about throwing tantrums?!" Sirius demanded.
"Sirius, he's had a long day." Audrey said gently. To her son, she said, "How about we take Lianna home, and then we'll sit you down so you can talk to her? Maybe you can sing to her one of your songs."
"Kay!" Andrew agreed eagerly.
Sirius watched Andrew follow his mother, Severus, and Langston down to the check out area. He sighed, depressingly.
"Paddy?" Remus asked, putting an arm around his waist. "You alright?"
"No." He answered truthfully, resting his head on Remus' shoulder. "I wonder how long before he'll want to stay over at our place again."
Remus softly kissed his cheek. "Don't worry. It won't be that long, dear. He still loves you bucket loads."
"I hope so..." Sirius grumbled.
At home, Andrew sat along side his mother in her bed, unwilling to leave her side while she fed the baby. "Can I feed Lianna, Mummy?"
"Not yet." Audrey answered quietly. "Lianna needs Mummy's milk."
"When can I feed her?"
"In a few weeks. After she's well adjusted to feeding from Mummy. Then she won't get too confused."
Lianna shortly fell asleep still latched onto Audrey. Little grunts could be heard as she dreamed of sweet baby dreams. Audrey carefully removed her daughter from her.
"She's cute." Andrew whispered. "Can I hold her now?"
"Yes, but first, go get Severus so he can help you."
Andrew raced out of the bedroom to fetch Severus from the living room. Severus had insisted on giving her her privacy during the feeding, even though Audrey would be one of those mother who could breastfeed in public. There wasn't much that would embarrass her.
Severus had fallen asleep on the sofa, exhausted from lack of sleep and the events of the day. He was snoring lightly when Andrew shook him excitedly. "Daddy Severus!"
"What?!" Severus snapped his head up, looking around.
"Help me hold Lianna!" Andrew was beaming, ready to hold his sister.
"Is your mother done feeding her?"
"Yep! She says you got to help me with Lianna now!"
Severus shut his eyes a moment and yawned. "Alright."
In the bedroom, Severus told Andrew to sit down in the rocking chair next to the bed and then took Lianna from the near sleeping Audrey. He set the baby into Andrew's arms and taught him how to hold the baby. "Remember," he spoke softly to Andrew. "She's not strong enough to hold her head up, so you have to support it for her." He adjusted the boy's hand.
"Kay." Andrew said.
"How's it coming?" Langston whispered from the doorway.
"Great." Severus said through a yawn.
"Need a nap?" Langston asked.
Severus nodded. "Several."
"Get used to that, Daddy." The teenager joked. "I'll watch the kid, you catch up on sleep. You'll need it."
Severus obliged and allowed Langston to take over. "Thanks." He mumbled, snuggling next to his wife.
"What do you think of her, Andrew?" Langston asked his brother, pulling up a chair next to the boy. Andrew had been quietly observing his sleeping sister.
"She's small." He answered in a whisper, knowing that he had to speak softly to avoiding waking her up.
"Yep. Do you like her?"
Andrew smiled. "Yeah. I love her. She's gonna be the best sister ever."
"Why don't you give her a little kiss. Babies love kisses. Right on their forehead."
Andrew carefully leaned down and planted his lips to Lianna's forehead. "Love you, Lianna." He whispered tenderly.
"You are so adorable, Andrew." Langston said, smiling.
"That's what Mummy says!"
"It's so very true. Let's put Lianna to bed now, okay?"
"Kay."
"First we check if she needs a new nappy." He told Andrew, lifting Lianna into his arms and taking her to the changing station across the room that Severus had set up. It was already stocked generously with supplies they'd need for the baby.
Lianna slept throughout the changing of her nappy, Langston being as gentle as he could be, and he set her into the bassinet that was at Audrey's bedside.
"Now she sleeps with her Mummy and Daddy." Langston said, before leading Andrew out of the bedroom. "You know what we could do?" he asked Andrew after they had gone down stairs to the kitchen for something to eat.
"What?"
With Andrew's help, Langston began making a pile of sandwiches. "We should make something for Lianna."
"Like what?"
Langston shrugged. "Maybe Tweeters will know of something we could work on."
"Oohh! A pasta necklace!" Andrew's eyes grew wide with the idea of crafting with elbow macaroni, having had an interest in art projects.
Langston laughed. "We can't do that, Lianna would choke on it. I'll Floo call her later and see if she has an idea."
After they ate, Langston offered Severus and Audrey some of the sandwiches he had made before taking Andrew up to his room to read him a book- a good way to get the boy to fall asleep.
Langston woke up an hour later when he heard Lianna cry, but by the time he had made it down to Severus' and Audrey's bedroom, Audrey had tended to the baby, sitting in the rocking chair, catching a few winks of sleep as Lianna ate her fifth meal that day.
"Lianna's going to love these." Langston told Andrew later that night when they were through making their creations. "It's going to be fun playing with her with these, huh, Andrew?" he asked, trying on the gift he had made.
"Yep!" The boy said, displaying a wide proud grin while he mimicked Langston. "We are the best big brothers ever."
