A FAMILY OF THEIR OWN
By Lucky Moony
Chapter one: Moony is sick
When Remus Lupin tried to drag himself out of bed, he felt terribly sick. His head was spinning and the content of his stomach seemed to want to go out faster than a bludger would hit Sirius on the Quidditch field.
Not that he wasn't used to being sick... It just seemed that it was more frequent lately. Just as he thought the nausea had calmed down, he had to run to the bathroom and was thoroughly sick three of four times-he wasn't really sure how many times he did threw up, since he had stopped counting after the second time.
He was justtiredof mornings like this.
He then heard a knock on the door. « Moony, are you okay? »
« Hum...Yeah, everything is perfect. I guess your cooking is still that bad. »
A laugh came from behind the door. Sirius then opened it and stuck his head in the room.
Sirius Black, an auror in training, was 20 years old. He had long black hair, grey eyes and a cheeky grin. He was handsome and he knew it. He always used his beauty to obtain stuff from women who felt desperately in love with him- if they weren't aware about the fact that he was the property of Remus Lupin, 19 years old werewolf, and currently teacher in a second grade class in a muggle school.
It had already been two years since the boys had finished school at Hogwarts and the two of them led a happy life in a small flat-their cheap love nest, as James had put it- who was bordered by a large wood.
Anyway, the fact was that Remus Lupin was sick AGAIN and the full moon had nothing to do with it.
« I'm feeling better now! » He exclaimed while being helped up by his boyfriend.
« If you say so...I still think it's pretty weird you are this sick at this particular time of the month. I mean the full moon is in fifteen days... You still so sure you don't want to go to St. Mungo's hospital? »
«Absolutely sure! I don't want to be checked for nothing. Anyway, the kids need me back at school. They have an important exam next week and they are not ready yet. »
Sirius shrugged and fell face to face with- James?!
«WOAAAAA James what are you doing here? »
James Potter, marauder and almost professional Quidditch player grinned wildly at them. He had just apparated in the pups' kitchen, followed close by his wife, the pretty red-headed Lily Potter.
« How are you lovebirds going? » he asked while Sirius and he did that stupid hand shake thing they had invented back in third year.
Lily rolled her eyes and smiled to Remus. « My you look so pale Rem! The kids are draining your energy in class? »
« I really don't know what's going on with me. I feel sick as hell. Don't tell Sirius though, I've just told him it was nothing. I don't want to scare him out. » he was almost whispering.
Her brow furrowed. She was afraid for her friend. At the same moment, Sirius asked them if they wanted to eat breakfast with them, since they were there and he had to go to work an hour or so later.
The four friends all sat at the small wooden table and Lily offered them to cook something. Remus wanted to help her, but she quickly told him not to bother; that she was a big girl and that she didn't need the help of anyone in a kitchen.
« Moons been horribly sick since a couple of weeks » said Sirius while playing with his boyfriend's hand. « He doesn't want to go to St. Mungo's hospital though. Should hex him and drag him there...»
« I agree with you Black! » replied Lily. « I don't like the thought of him being sick. It scares me. » She added putting some tea and some toasts on the table.
«'a 'ind 'f 'cknes?»
Lily knocked James behind the head «STOP TALKING WITH YOUR MOUTHFULL! »
«You just love it. » She knocked him again.
Sirius laughed out loud. « You are such a whipped stag, Prongs! »
Everyone laughed, except Remus, who pulled face while drinking his hot chocolate.
« You're not drinking your hot chocolate Moonshine? » Asked Sirius looking slightly taken aback.
Moony shrugged « I can't stand the taste of chocolate anymore. It's disgusting and it makes me sick. »
The three friends looked astonished at this and felt silent.
«YOU, THE WORLD'S MOST ADDICTED TO CHOCOLATE WEREWOLF. Don't want to eat chocolate anymore? MERLIN YOU ARE SO FRIGGING SICK!!! »
Sirius was now thoroughly scared: «You won't go to school this morning. I'm bringing you to the hospital. »
Remus wanted to reply to this but Lily cut him off. « We won't take no as an answer. »

Lily and Sirius were waiting together in the waiting room of the hospital. Sirius looked distressed and kept pacing around the room, receiving weird glances from a mediwizard.
« Will you sit down already Sirius? You're making me dizzy! »
The black haired beauty sighed and sat down. « Sorry Lil. I'm so scarred. What if the doctor says he's going to die in a month? »
« I don't thin- » She went silent, spotting her werewolf friend walking back towards them accompanied by the doctor.
« Mr. Black, can I talk with you for a minute? » asked the wise old doctor. He had thick glasses and only a few hairs left on his head.
Sirius followed him in silence. He was sure Moony was going to die.
« It won't be easy to tell you this sir...»
Shit that was it... How would he live without his werewolf?
« But your mate is...your mate is pregnant with your child. »
« HE IS WHAT??? » Now that was a shock...
