St. Mungos, January 1st 2pm
Severus lay in a bed at St. Mungos staring at the ceiling wonder how the hell he ended up there, and when his life had gotten so strange he was being rescued by Sirius Black! Thinking back on it Severus still couldn't believe they had managed to escape alive and relatively unscathed.
Lying in a crumpled heap on the floor, Severus didn't even stir as he heard footsteps approaching, what did it matter? He had already been tortured within an inch of his life, there was nothing left anyone could do to him that hadn't already been done. Severus jumped as he felt hands pulling him up, what did they want with him now? Looking up through his long hair he almost fainted with shock, Sirius Black! He was dead! Did that mean Severus was dead too? Peering at the tall man he grabbed the man's shoulders, he felt real, but who knows what the afterlife was life, maybe it was all part of it. Deciding he wouldn't get any answers unless he asked them Severus cleared his dry throat, "am I dead?"
Sirius looked down at him and grinned, "Not since the last time I checked."
"Then are you alive?"
"I would suppose so."
"…..and you're rescuing me?"
"Yup."
"I just wanted to make sure I had all the facts right", and then he had fainted, only to wake up in St. Mungos.
He had been told Sirius had made a miraculous rescue and escaped the Dark Lord's stronghold with Severus before Voldermont even knew he was gone. According to Remus and the Order, Sirius had shown up and claimed he knew a way to rescue Severus. It turned out that Sirius had faked his death in order to go undercover and get inside of Voldermont's inner circle, the man had been working his way up the ranks for 5 years before Severus was taken. When Severus had been taken the Dark Lord realized Sirius was a false supporter and was planning to kill him, only Sirius had gotten wind of the plan and escaped first, coming back for Severus after notifying the Order of his current living state. Severus had been surprised, and extremely grateful to Sirius for saving him, but he couldn't seem to shake his fear that things were only going to get worse.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************
Draco gaped at the tall man before him; Sirius Black was huge, and currently grinning at him like a maniac. Harry had rushed into the house, and then rushed right back out, leaving behind a confused Draco and an amused Sirius. Unnerved by the man's stare Draco attempted to break the awkward silence.
"Harry's told me you are his godfather, I'm sure you're glad to be able to see him again."
Sirius nodded, but continued to stare at Draco oddly, not knowing what to do Draco blurted out, "why do you keep staring at me?"
"No reason, just wondering what a pretty thing like you is doing with a lunkhead like Harry. "
Laughing a Draco's expression he said, "I didn't mean it like that, it's just its obvious Harry cares for you, but you don't seem like his type."
Draco spluttered and choked out: "I am not some hoity-toity miss, I care for Harry as well and I resent the insinuation that___"
Holding a big hand up Sirius stopped Draco's tirade, "easy there Sunshine, I didn't say you guys weren't right for each other, I just was saying you guys are unlikely pair and he's lucky to have you, that's all."
Draco nodded, he hadn't meant to go off on the man like that, he just felt defensive of his and Harry's future relationship, he didn't know what lie ahead for them, but he didn't want people to doubt it before it got started.
Smiling at Sirius, Draco apologized, "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to be so harsh I just__"
"It's fine Draco, I understand, no harm done."
Relieved Draco went to pour some tea for the two of them but before he could a frantic Harry burst in the room.
"Draco, BABYCHARLIEHAVENEVILLE!!!!"
"Excuse me?"
"Neville's having the baby, Charlie wanted us to be there, come on!"
Waving them on Sirius shook his head, "I'm fine by myself, you two go help your friends, from what I know of pregnancy, Neville's got a long night ahead of him."
Harry grabbed Draco's arm, he apparated them straight to the Burrow, where Neville had chosen to have the baby with the help of a midwife and Molly. Draco personally thought that was very brave of him; if the places had been reversed Draco would want to be in a hospital, surrounded by clean materials and experienced doctors.
***********************************************************************************************************************************************
Sirius shook his head at his godson's antics, Draco had his hands full with that one, speaking of a hand full, Sirius decided it was time to pay Severus a visit. He apparated to St. Mungos, whistling a happy tune as he strolled down the hallway Sirius came to a stop before Sev's room, he found himself strangely nervous. Sirius pushed away the feeling, shaking his head he knocked on the door and waited, he heard Severus inside call, "come in," and in he went. The first thing he noticed was Remus at Sev's beside, holding the potion master's hand, he nodded to Remus and went to stand on the other side of Severus.
"Remus, would you mind if Severus and I had a moment?"
Looking at his mate, Remus nodded and walked out of the room, quietly closing the door behind him, leaving the two men inside together.
"How are you feeling Severus?"
"Just fine thank you."
Sirius said nothing, just stared down at the man in the bed, Severus was still beautiful, his long black hair tied back at his nape, pale skin dotted with small freckles, and onyx eyes peeking out from thick, black, lashes. He suddenly wanted nothing more then to climb up next to Severus on the bed, as if the past five years hadn't happened and he wasn't now Remus's mate.
Smiling ruefully Sirius spoke, "of all the people to have replaced me with, I wouldn't think it would be Remus. How long did you wait Sev? Before you were fucking my best friend?"
"It wasn't like that Sirius."
"What was it like then lover? Hmmmm?"
Closing his eyes against the rush of pain he felt, Severus fought back tears, it wasn't fair for Sirius to do this to him, the man had been dead for five years! Severus had mourned for his lost lover, and seeing him today only brought back all the old pain.
"You are not entirely blameless here Sirius."
"Of course you're right love, pining for you for five years was a ridiculous thing for me to do, I know."
"Sirius, you told me we weren't right for each other! Then when I went to try and find you to fix what happened, you were fucking dead! Excuse me for moving on and trying to continue living my life!"
Sirius moved over Severus, leaning his face close he whispered in his ear, "When you were being fucked by Remus, how long did you were pretending it was me?"
Outraged, Severus swung a hand to slap Sirius, but he caught it and brought it to his chest.
"Do you feel my heartbeat Severus? My heart has only ever beat for you, and no how much I hate it will continue to beat for you, so I want you to think of that while you're happy with Remus."
Swooping down, Sirius captured Sev's lips with his own, dominating the kiss and taking all Severus had to give, ending the kiss Sirius strode to the door.
Turning back he asked, "Are you happy with Remus baby?"
Sirius turned and left the room, leaving behind a stunned Severus, cursing Sirius for once again complicating his life.

The Burrow 1:30 pm
"You're doing good Neville, come on push!"
A panting, exhausted Neville lay on a bed, Charlie on one side holding his hand, Draco and Harry on the other, and Molly and the midwife between his legs. The labor had been a long and hard one, everyone was drained, but as the newest Weasley finally made her way into the world, everyone's exhaustion gave in to elation.
"Millicent Carlotta Weasley."
Draco was inwardly surprised at the couples name choice, but decided he would call the child "Millie" in order to save her from any future embarrassment. The birth had been an amazing experience and Draco was left feeling light and free, he also was open to the possibility that maybe he and Harry could be doing this someday. As if sensing his thoughts Harry turned and made his way towards Draco, he pulled the blonde into his arms and rested his chin on Draco's head.
"Ready to go home sweetheart?"
"Yes."
The couple said their goodbyes, kissing the sleeping baby on her forehead, they apparated out, returning home they both went to Harry's room. Smiling Harry led Draco in, they changed into pajamas and climbed into bed, Harry cuddling Draco close, they instantly fell asleep, tired by a long day. Neither heard the door open, or saw Draco's father poke his head in, Lucius smiled at the sleeping couple and quietly closed the door, whispering "goodnight" as he headed off to his own rooms, things were looking up.
**************************************************************************************************************************************************
The Dark Lord raged, first Draco was taken, he found out one of his most trusted servants was a traitor, and now he no longer had Severus to torture. He would get Harry Potter for this, the boy would know pain he never thought imaginable, and when he was done, he would destroy everything Harry loved, and make him watch.
