"Pads?" Harry asked, innocent face twisted into an expression of confusion. "I have a question."
"What's up, Prongslet?" Sirius looked toward his godson, concerned. Harry never looked so...well...serious.
"Can boys date girls? Because Ron says his mummy and daddy are going on a date."
He almost spit out his tea. The question was so hilariously ass-backwards but so sweetly innocent. Indeed, Harry had been raised around all queer couples- he and Remus, Dorcas and Marlene, Regulus and Barty. It made sense, really.
"Harry," he said gently, pulling the small child into his arms. "You mum and dad were married. Remember?"
Harry's eyes widened larger than galleons. "They dated?"
A snort came from the doorway, and Sirius turned to see Remus standing there, eyes sparkling. "Yes, Harry. They loved each other very much. You know that."
But Harry looked even more confused. "Like you and Paddy love each other, though? Not just like me and Ginny love each other?"
Sirius let out another chuckle. "No, Haz. They loved each other like Remus and I do."
"Oh," Harry nodded, face clouded over with thought. "I guess that's okay, then."
Remus walked up to Sirius from behind, pulling him into a hug. "I'm so glad Harry accepts the straights. We've raised such a tolerant child," he murmured in his husband's ear, making Sirius cackle.
James Potter 🤝 that dude in high school that was such a straight ally and then shows up at the reunion married to another man.
Sam, babe, you are not helping the bi allegations with your monogrammed dress shirt pockets.
dorcas: hear me out, bio degradable sex toys
marlene: now that’s not a nice thing to say about men
when peeta reveals to the entire country that katniss is pregnant, katniss is taken aback (cf, 73). having to work through exactly what it means. what peeta is presenting to the country.
that she is pregnant. as she enters the hunger games. that her worst fear coming to fruition. the fear that plagues every parent in panem. losing their child to the games (cf, 73).
and, for the first time in the series, katniss does not completely dismiss the possibility of having a child.
and instead recognizes that she very well could have children. if the games did not loom over her. if she didn't build such strong defenses to protect herself from losing her children. protect herself from losing a husband (cf, 73).
before, she didn't even allow herself to think about such a future. one without the games. because what is the use in hoping for what's impossible (thg, 9).
but in this moment, she admits that what peeta is saying could be true. in a different world. she could be pregnant with a baby. (cf, 73).
but it is not clear at that specific moment that she would be referring to peeta's child. to their child. instead, it is just a hypothetical child.
thus, during the quarter quell and the revolution that follows, katniss's imaginary baby is referred to as only 'the baby.'
when peeta announces it to the world (cf, 73). when finnick covers for katniss's hysteria (cf, 80). when katniss explains to the sick in district eight that she lost the baby (mj, 68; 81).
in these cases, 'the baby' remains something distant. something impersonal. something with no unique connection to katniss. or peeta.
however, in the sweet haze that follows the beach scene, she lets it slip into her thoughts. right as peeta lays her down to sleep. and rests his hand on her lower abdomen. right where she notes that "our baby would be (cf, 100).
and how solemn this moment is. a moment where katniss is able to imagine her perfect future. no longer denied by the cruelty of their world. a future with her baby. their baby.
in a world without the games. without the capitol. where their child could be safe.
i think arthur shappey should have been allowed to swear once, i think the audience would have gone wild at that
Sirius: you’re being impossible!! Moony tell him!!
Regulus: no I’m not!! Jamie back me up here!
Remus *snickering*: Jamie! Pick my side!
James *crying trying to hold in laughter*: Moony baby tell off my baby brother for me!
Sirius and Regulus: *gawking at the two of them*
