I really don't think Sirius is father material. I could stretch to play him that way, but he knows he's not exactly stable. He already marvels that Medeni can stand him when he's depressed, or, hell, even when he's on a good tangent. There's also that whole wanted dead or alive thing hanging over him, and like he said to her wayyyy back on the first Hogwarts board, what's he going to do, tell the kids to pack up their dolls because the Dementors are on their way?

No, I think he has quite enough on his plate. It was Tonks, if I'm not mistaken, who did the whole "Sirius wants kids, Medeni doesn't" thing. I don't think he's ever said to Medeni that he really really wants kids, other than as some idle sort of "what if some day things were different and this was possible" musing. He's just selfish enough not to want to have to share his cariad, though. In his life -- the way I play him, at least -- he hasn't had a lot of love and affection. He wasn't some Hogwarts Adonis. As JKR said, he was too busy being a big rebel to settle down. And now he's pretty crazy, even though he hides it well.

But he really needs the stability Medeni provides. Like it or not, he's entirely reliant on her. I have the sneaking suspicion she secretly likes that.



Look! You get the Sirius icon. :D
