Old Flames

Sirius was sitting at his desk finishing a report from the day before. James was approaching him with a serious expression.

"What's the matter?", Sirius asked concerned.

"Kingsley is back.", James answered.

Sirius tensed. That was bad news. Dorcas and Kingsley Shacklebolt had a long history. They were constantly dating and breaking off again. He had left almost a year ago for a very long mission in South Africa and had wanted her to come with him. That had been the reason for their last break-up, because Dorcas had refused to leave England just because he had asked her to. It had seemed as if that was a definite rift between the two of them.

Still, Sirius couldn't get over thinking that Dorcas might get close to Kingsley again. Jealousy was roaring in him.

He got up and marched over to her office.

Meanwhile, Dorcas was sitting at her desk rummaging through her drawers. She had a real craving for chocolate at the moment and knew that she had a secret stock somewhere. Finally, she found it. With a content smile she unwrapped it and wanted to put a chunk of it in her mouth when she saw a person standing in the entrance.

"Dorcas.", Kingsley said softly smiling at her.

"Kingsley.", Dorcas acknowledged him quite coldly. "What are you doing here?"

"I'm back.", he said calmly. "And I was wondering how you would like a candle light dinner at Francois tonight."

"Not with you.", she replied looking him firmly in the eyes. The smile on her face had disappeared.

He looked at her confused. They had always gotten back together. Okay, he thought eleven months was a long time.

"And why is that?", he asked.

"You can't expect me to jump on you after being gone for so long.", she snarled starting to get mad. "Has it ever occurred to you that I might have found someone else?"

Kingsley paled. That wasn't what he expected.

"Someone else?", he asked hoarsely. "But – "

"No Kingsley.", she cut him off. "We are over. We were over a year ago."

"Is that your final word?", he asked looking at her desperately.

"Yes.", Dorcas said firmly. She was still sitting at her desk that way she was concealing her small belly. "Now get out."

Reluctantly Kingsley left her office glancing back over his shoulder as he did so.

Dorcas took a deep breath. Why in Merlin's underpants did Kingsley think she would take him back? Sure they always had had this on-off thing going. But the last time he had wanted her to give up her whole life to go down to South Africa with him and she just hadn't been willing to do that. Then she figured that her feelings for him were definitely not love or anything like that and decided to end their relationship once and for all. After he had left, it took her a while to get back on track, but she managed.

And if he really would have loved me, Dorcas thought, then he would've contacted her during those eleven months. But he didn't. Not once. And now he was expecting her to drop everything just because he was back.

The nerve of him, she thought shaking her head.

At that moment Sirius came into her office his face had an unreadable expression.

"Did Kingsley come in here?", he asked quite tense.

"Let's go.", Dorcas said. She didn't want to elaborate on that matter knowing it probably would upset Sirius. "We want to be on time for the appointment."

She got up and wanted to go out of the door but Sirius grabbed her hand.

"Dorcas.", he said looking her into the eyes.

She sighed. Of course he wanted to know.

"Yes, he was here.", she answered. "But we are over. I'm with you now."

Sirius looked a little relieved and when Dorcas pecked his lips, he pulled her into a very passionate kiss that made her knees go weak and left her breathless.

"What was that for?", Dorcas asked still catching her breath.

"No particular reason.", he replied but looking quite satisfied with himself, especially when he squeezed her bottom and she gave a little squeal and blushed ferociously.

Healer Riley looked closely at the clipboard.

"It looks like your baby is doing excellent.", he said with a small smile.

"We were wondering if you could tell us the gender of the baby?", Dorcas asked cautiously

"You are 18 weeks along now?", Healer Riley asked.

Dorcas nodded. She had been told before that it wasn't safe for the baby until 16 weeks into the pregnancy. Apparently it had something to do with the spell, that was used.

The Healer murmured an incantation and at the end of the wand a small pink light appeared.

"Well, congratulations Miss Meadowes and Mr Black. You are expecting a baby girl."

Dorcas and Sirius beamed at each other and when she covered her belly again, he kissed her deeply spinning her around.

After they bade Healer Riley good-bye, they grabbed something to eat and returned to the Ministry. They went to James to tell him the good news.

"How is the little Padfoot?", James asked.

"Great.", Sirius answered. "But it's going to be a little Dorcas."

"A girl?", James looked surprised.

"Yap.", Sirius beamed at his friend and went behind Dorcas placing his hands on her belly.

"Poor boys.", James was shaking his head.

"My thought exactly.", Dorcas laughed.

At that moment Kingsley Shacklebolt came into the office carrying a file.

"Potter, I need you to – ", he stopped dead when he saw Dorcas. His wandered from her to Sirius to his hands on her belly. His expression became hard. He looked at Dorcas intently.

"You two?", he asked in a quiet voice.

She nodded.

"You got a problem with that?", Sirius asked in a menacing tone narrowing his eyes. Dorcas squeezed his hands telling him to calm down.

Kingsley straightened.

"Black, I need a word.", he said coldly.

"You're not my supervisor.", Sirius replied. He looked at Dorcas who was shaking her head. Reluctantly, he walked over to Kingsley. They left the room and went to Kingsley's office. When he closed the door, Kingsley turned to face Sirius.

"What are you playing at, Black?", he asked.

"I don't know what you mean.", Sirius answered.

"She is not one of those girls that you can shag and drop.", Kingsley said.

"I know that."

"Did you knock her up?"

"I don't like that term.", Sirius said coldly. "She is pregnant with our child."

"I'm warning you, Black.", Kingsley said still looking quite menacing. "You hurt her and I will have your head."

That evening, Dorcas and Sirius were lying on the bed. Sirius had his arms around her and Dorcas was snuggled his neck. He kissed the top of her head.

"I think we should move together.", he said quietly.

Dorcas raised herself to look at him.

"Are you sure?", she asked. "Do you really want that?"

Sirius nodded.

"We spent almost every minute together anyway.", he said. "And we can't have our little girl changing flats all the time."

"Then we're going to need a bigger one.", Dorcas said. "Neither yours nor mine is big enough for a nursery."

"Okay.", Sirius replied. He pulled her towards him kissing her deeply. When he pulled away he look her straight into the eyes.

"I love you."

Dorcas smiled coyly kissing him again.

"I love you, too.", she said resting her head on his chest.
