This is set a month after the last chapter, Sirius is four, nearly five, months pregnant.
Remus.
"Okay what the hell is going on with you?" Remus asked, grabbing a chair, spinning it around and sitting directly in front of Sirius so that the other boy was backed into the corner of the library wall and had no way of getting past.
"Wha- What?" Sirius croaked.
"You look depressed all the time, you're eating loads, you barely talk to us, you hang out with Lily Evans! And you've missed two full moons but wont explain to me exactly what's up with you medically..." He sounded both angry and scared, "Are you really sick? I mean... You'd tell me if you were dying right?" Remus asked, he sounded really scared and Sirius sighed.
"I'm not dying." Sirius said, taking Remus' hand.
"Then what's wrong?"
"I'm pregnant." Sirius muttered, suddenly sick of hiding it from Remus.
"How far gone?" The other teenager asked, his face pale.
"Nearly five months."
"So it's mine?"
"Not necessarily," Sirius admitted, "I slept with five people in the week the baby was conceived... It was the week I broke up with Bryce..."
Remus let out a big breathe, "So... Me, Bryce and...?"
"Kyle Snowdon, Lucius Malfoy and... and James."
"James as in my James?" Remus gasped, Sirius gave a small nod. "Is that why he's treating you like crap?" Remus asked angrily, Sirius bit at his lip and nodded, "Fucking bastard!" Remus cursed.
"No.. He's just- "
"A bastard." Remus growled. "Look... I'm here okay? If you need me, even if it's just to hold your hair back when you're being sick." He promised. Tears sprang to Sirius' eyes and he brushed them away as Remus pulled him into a hug. "What did the others say?" The werewolf asked.
"Kyle said that once the baby is born if it's his then he'll help. Lucius said if it was his he'd give financial support but he can't afford for his family to find out and I haven't told Bryce yet." Sirius said, pulling back from the hug.
"Well I'm here, throughout the pregnancy and afterwards, whether it's mine or not."
Sirius gasped, "Why?"
"Because you're my friend and that's what friends do." Remus smiled.
Sirius began to cry again, "Sorry." He apologised, "Stupid pregnancy hormones." Remus laughed and pulled Sirius into a tight hug as he sobbed into his shoulder. Remus stroked Sirius' back, scowling at the second year who dared approach their section of the library.
~*~*~*~*~HP~HP~*~*~*~*~
"You are a fucking dickhead." Remus said calmly, he'd just dragged James into a deserted classroom, locked the door and cast a silencing charm.
"What?" James frowned.
Remus pursed his lips slightly, "Sirius told me... About the baby."
"Shit." James gasped, "I... Rem... It was an accident... me and Sirius, It just sort of happened, before you and I even -"
"I couldn't give a shit about that! I slept with him too, that week!" I might be the dad aswell." Remus growled making James look at him in shock. "But you don't see me treating Sirius like crap! Or lying that he tried it on with me!" Remus yelled, James flinched, "I mean, what the fuck is going on with you Jay? Is this how you'd react if I got up the duff or is it just because it's Sirius?" James looked away, refusing to meet Remus' accusing look. "WELL?"
"I don't know!" James whispered, his bottom lip wobbling slightly as tears gathered in his eyes.
"Don't you dare start crying!" Remus spat, "God, I can't even look at you. We're over." He growled before turning to leave the room quickly before James saw his own tears.
"No, Rem! Please!" James begged, grabbing Remus' arm, "I don't know why I reacted like that! I was scared! Scared you'd break upw ith me, scared the baby was mine, scared about what my dad would say!"
Remus turned back to look a James in disgust, "You don't think I'm scared of all that?" He asked angrily, "You called him a whore for fucks sake!"
"I was angry about Malfoy..." James defended weakly, Remus shook his head in disgust and James bit at his lip, "What can I do to fix this?" He whispered.
Remus curled his lip slightly at the teenager's pathetic tone, "Well firstly you apologise to Sirius, but don't bother unless you mean it, you've hurt him enough already as it is!"
James gave a small nod, "And what about us?" He asked quietly.
"There is no us." Remus replied, "I don't even know who you are anymore James." He said before jerking his arm away from James' grip and leaving the room quickly. James watched as Remus left before he collapsed to the floor sobbing to himself. He knew he'd been wrong to treat Sirius the way he had been, he'd known it instantly, but for some reason it had been easier to ignore Sirius than to just apologise for what he had said and find a way to work it all out. Of course James was even more confused now that he knew Remus was one of the other possible fathers...
More up soon.
