A/N: So, I have many excuses this time. Exams, Graduation (oh yeah), complaining over a haircut (yeah I don't really get it either), installing a new tv, cleaning out my room for the old old old tv, uhhhhhhhhh I'm done. Anyway it's much longer than usual by about 2000 words :/ I'm going to try and average it out more, by making the next few chapters over 1000 words, instead of the pathetic little drabbles that I used to call chapters. Ok so have fun reading, review if you like, I always love hearing your thoughts and suggestions :)

Chapter 10

Remus paced back and forth in front of the fireplace, anxiously awaiting Harry to step through. Harry was due back any minute, having sent word that he had completed his mission and was back at the ministry. Remus decided it would probably be best if he finally drank his tea and sat down, striding over to the kitchen bench to pick up his still warm mug. Suddenly he heard the Floo flare, and he ran back into the family room, expecting to see Harry stepping out. Instead he found Sirius' excited face in the fire.

"Moony, you better come, Sarah's having the baby!" Sirius' looked so very excited and scared at the same time, Remus guessed from the absence of sheer terror in his face that Sarah had just gone into labour and had not started yelling at Sirius. Quickly writing a note to Harry saying that Sarah was in labour, Remus stepped into the fireplace.

When he stepped out of the fireplace in St. Mungo's he was nearly bowled over by Sirius who was jumping about in his excitement of becoming a father for the second time. "Where's Mia?" Remus looked around for his god-daughter, half-expecting her to be with her mother in the room.

"She wanted to be with Sarah, but thank merlin she was still sane enough to put her foot down and send her to Tonks'. Tonks'll be coming along later, when Mia and Lyra are both asleep." Remus nodded, secretly smiling to himself. There was no way that Tonks would be able to get both of the girls to sleep tonight, not with so much excitement.

"Have you thought of any names?" Remus asked, finally Sirius had realised what was about to happen and had started pacing. Sirius looked up at him and grinned. "Oh yeah, loads. I got a letter from Harry too; he said we're welcome to use the name James if we want. I would have thought that you two would want it."

"And? Have you decided on a name?"

"Yup. Just don't think I'll tell you till we're all ready." Sirius' eyes twinkled mischievously, as if daring Remus to try and guess. Remus groaned, hopefully they hadn't chosen too horrible a name.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

Two hours later the floo flared up as Tonks came through, along with a half alert Mia. "I'm sorry Sirius; I couldn't get her to sleep, though I was lucky enough to get Lyra down." She kissed her cousin in greeting, and smiled at Remus. Remus rolled his eyes. Fuck, he was gay, she was a widower, he was married and pregnant, time to move on.

"I'm sorry; it was stupid to think Mia'd be able to sleep." Sirius smiled, looking at his daughter, who was obviously starting to drift off now that she was near her father. Remus looked at Sirius; it couldn't be long before Sirius would be called in.

As Tonks settled down into one of the chairs with Mia in her lap, Sirius finally let his cheerful mask fall. Sirius was worried. Sarah had already been in labour for 6 hours, worrying him since Mia had been a very quick birth.

"I tell you Moony-" "Mr Black? Your wife is asking for you." A healer had come out into the hall. Sirius turned around, slightly pale. "Asking or screaming?" he enquired jokingly. "Uh, quite possibly a mix, sir." The healer didn't even miss a beat, and turned to re-enter the room. Sirius hugged Remus and bent down to kiss his daughter with a promise that he'd be back soon. Tonks was long since asleep.

As soon as he opened the door, Remus heard his goddaughter yelling at Sirius, something along the lines of "taking Snuffles to the vet." Remus winced, 1, subconsciously feeling for his brother-in-arms and 2, because he really didn't need to know that.

Mia put her hand in his, impatient to be summoned herself to meet her new sibling.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

Sirius had been in the room for near an hour when the floo flared up once more. Remus didn't even have time to think when an exhausted but surprisingly clean Harry tumbled into his arms. Tonks and Mia had long since fallen asleep, so there were no witnesses to the passionate kiss Harry gave Remus as his greeting. The two lovebirds spent the next few minutes cuddling in the chair Remus had backed into, no words were needed.

Remus had missed his lover terribly and so spent the minutes with his face in Harry's neck, making him squirmed while Remus breathed in his mate's scent. Meanwhile Harry had pulled his lover's now sight shirt from his pants to reveal his swollen belly. Remus' belly was definitely bigger and so Harry lent down to plant feather-light kisses on Remus' slightly furry belly, the belly that currently contained his baby. Harry's hands drifted lower and lower, moving dangerously towards his pants' zipper. Harry had obviously forgotten where they were again.

Remus threw back his head and gave a small moan. He would give anything for Sarah not to be in labour and for him and his husband to be at home in bed, reacquainting each other with their bodies and having a nice reunion but nooo.

Suddenly the door opened and Remus nearly threw Harry from his lap. Harry stood, grumbling, though thankfully not looking as dishevelled as Remus. Sirius walked out, practically floating with happiness. He reminded Remus of an old friend he'd seen long ago, glowing with happiness at the birth of his child. Sirius came over to the two, a bundle of blankets in his arms. "I have a son! I would like you two to meet Procyon James Black."

The two looked at the baby. He was still a bit red and blotchy, like he had had the harrowing journey down a birth canal, but now calm and snoozing. He had obviously exhausted himself by fussing. He would definitely be a heart stopper, which was for sure. From the fuzz that they took to be his hair, they could tell he would be a red-head like his mother and grandmother. It was darker than his mother's but it would definitely be a deep dark red. He yawned and opened his eyes, the three men's breath caught in their throat. They were slightly silver-grey, signalling that he would have his father's eyes.

"I didn't see his eyes before." Sirius whispered, sounding as though he had a Kneazle caught in his throat. "You should have seen him, he was kicking and screaming, and then he was put into my arms and he was calm. It was so magical. Sarah's not going to get him back off me." Remus grinned. All Sarah had to do was give Sirius a loving kiss and she would have her boy in her arms again.

"Speaking of which, how is the beautiful mother? Has she even held her baby yet?" Harry teased, hoping his sister wouldn't be too tired to receive visitors. Sirius looked back at his son who had closed his eyes and burrowed further into his blankets. "She may have. She was so good too. Not too much screaming. I think she now knew what to expect in childbirth. But when it was over, Moony," Sirius gave his old friend a meaningful look, to which Remus looked down at his own belly and blushed. "Moony, she'd never looked more beautiful to me; she was just so at peace, you know?"

"Now Harry, I think it's time to hold your godson." Sirius carefully put the baby, into a shocked Harry's arms, and then went to gently wake his daughter without waking his cousin. Luckily he succeeded, which wasn't hard since Tonks slept like a rock.

All four of them walked into the room you be greeted by an obviously tired but awake mother. Mia jumped on the bed, as the three men warily walked over. Sarah smiled when she saw her son in Harry's arms. "I hope you don't mind, but you were obviously the best choice, after all." Her voice was hoarse probably from all the screaming but she was still lively enough to brighten the room.

Harry went and gave her a kiss as he handed the newborn back to his mother. Sarah smiled, and looked up at her husband. "Hopefully I'll be able to hold him longer than a minute this time." Sirius blushed; it was amazing that after 8 years knowing her, he would still blush like a teen with a crush.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

Soon after, Remus and Harry decided to let the family be, retouring home to fully re-meet. They tumbled through their front door, kissing all the way. They finally go to their bedroom and proceeded to tear each other's clothes off. It had been far too long for it to be a sweet and slow reunion.

This time, for the first time in months, it was Remus that took Harry, although still lying pliant underneath his husband as Harry rode atop him, worshiping Remus' belly the whole time.

Since Harry had left for his mission, Remus had been feeling fat, unattractive and fairly unloved. Bust seeing how Harry was now atop of him, just giving a particularly loud moan at the hard thrust Remus made, and seeing how he would occasionally lean down and whisper profanities to his belly, Remus was feeling quite the opposite.

Remus gave an extra hard thrust, finally finding Harry's prostate. After a few more specific thrust, Harry came, with Remus following immediately afterwards. Harry collapsed against Remus, though careful not to crush his belly. They both lay there in post coital bliss, until they both lifted their heads to look at each other and then laughed. No words were needed.

Remus pushed Harry off him so that he could roll over and straddle him. He started licking Harry's chest to which Harry gave out a breathless moan and sighed "Again?"

Remus nodded vigorously and started to grind down on Harry, he was so very eager to go again and again till the end of time. "Again."

"Bring it big boy."

This time Remus was fully dominant, as he hadn't been since he had conceived. Harry was pushed out of his thoughts and Remus finally thrust into him. Hard and fast seemed to be the style today.

The rest of the night was spent making love until they finally fell asleep near dawn.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

When Harry woke he kissed Remus and somehow managed to free himself from Octopus-Remus' arms and headed to the kitchen to make lunch. What he didn't count on was Remus waking a few minutes later to find the bed empty and immediately panic that Harry had left him after seeing his body.

Harry ran onto the room after hearing a cry (of which he thought was pain but turned out to be anguish), to find Remus curled into a ball of tears around his pillow. Harry had forgotten how much Remus' personality had changed since becoming pregnant. He was no longer the calm, rational man Harry had fallen in love with. He now wore his heart out on his sleeve, showing everything to all. Harry had never seen Remus so needy, so emotional, so like him. Truth be told it was starting to scare him.

Harry rushed in, wrapping himself around his crying lover, rocking him gently as he slowly calmed. "Baby, baby, hey look at me. Hey, what's going on? I was just in the kitchen, I wasn't leaving you. I was just getting some breakfast in bed. I thought you might be hungry, oh baby don't cry."

"Really? You were doing that for me?" Remus was sucking in great gulps of air. "No I was doing it for Procyon, he's suddenly developed teeth in the past 12 hours. Of course you! Remus, why are you so convinced that I'm going to leave you? I know we've fought recently, but we never really do otherwise. Now," Harry stood up, leaning down to hiss his husband on the forehead. "How about you stay here and keep the sheets warm while I go and make us some breaky? What would you like?"

Remus looked down at his lap, ashamed, he had been crying over nothing, and yet here was his perfect husband who hadn't left him and was being as kind and loving as ever. "The usual would be fine, please" Harry nodded, kissed him once more and walked back out to the kitchen.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

When Harry came back in, Remus had long since drifted off. The sound of the floo flaring had Harry walking out to the living room, filled with curiosity, to be greeted by George.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

Remus had been woken by the floo and was now waiting for his love. For once he was actually doing what he was told and staying in the bad, warming the sheets. Harry soon came in carrying a tray and wearing one of the biggest smiles Remus had seen on his face since he found out they had created life. "What is it? Who called?" he inquired. "George." Harry replied softly

Remus understood immediately. George and Catherine had been trying for a new baby ever since little Chase had reached the terrible twos.

"So what do you think? Boy or Girl?" Remus scoffed, typical Harry, George and Catherine only just announce a new baby, and Harry was already trying to guess. "Well I don't think they'd be able to have a girl, do you?"

During the war, George had been captured for a short while, tortured with an unknown curse. One of the side-effects meant that he'd be even more unlikely to sire a baby girl, much to his and Catherine's disappointment.

"No Remus, not them" Harry's voice once again disrupted his musing. "I was thinking about our little one." "Oh." He was slightly taken aback. He hoped it would be a little girl, despite his earlier fears, though he supposed he would find out soon, his next appointment was meant to be later that day. "A little girl? I don't really know. What do you want love?"

Harry smiled. "Whatever you have in there babe. When's your next appointment?" "Today."

"Oh"

"Yeah"

"So no lying in then?"

"Nope."

"Damn"

"Mhmm."

"Do you… I mean, would you like to find out the sex today?"

"Yeah I'd like that. You should have seen it last time. It's so beautiful!" Remus gave a watery smile, and Harry himself had tears in his eyes. "Now my beautiful wolf, how about this breaky?"

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

Tonks and Emma had somehow decided that it would be easier for Remus if he had his check-ups at home. Remus wasn't consulted. While Emma set up, Tonks had sat down with Harry and Remus to try and thoroughly creep them out with the "joys" of parenthood.

Remus and Harry in turn succeeded in grossing out Tonks by becoming all lovey-dovey.

Harry really couldn't keep his hands off Remus' belly, pleasing Remus to no end. Though when he was alone he felt very unattractive, when he was with his husband he felt as though he was the sexiest thing on earth. Damn Hormones.

It was time for them to see their baby. Harry couldn't be more excited; this was his baby, and this was the first time he'd be able to see it. He wasn't sure what he wanted, all he wished for was a healthy and happy baby.

Remus, always a thin man, knew he would definitely have to buy a new wardrobe for his baby-bump, but thankfully his jumpers and robes were still quite baggy for the time being; the same couldn't be said for his pants. He was having more and more trouble doing them up and had resorted to mainly wearing sweatpants.

Emma spread the gel over Remus' belly after having asked him to lift his quite tight shirt. Remus flinched as the cold gel touched his sensitive belly, watching in anticipation as Emma spread the gel and started to cast the incantation.

Harry watched in awe as a bubble-cloud thing appeared at Remus' side. It wasn't too distinct but he could definitely make out a head and some limbs. It was perhaps the best moment of his life. He could feel the tears running down his face as he looked at their baby.

Remus beamed happily, five more months and he would be holding their baby in his arms. He looked at his love, surprised to see tears running down his face. It was usually he that was crying for whatever reason.

"Would you like to know the sex of your baby?" Harry and Remus looked at each other and nodded. Bull if they were going to do the whole "wait and see".

"Just firstly, is it healthy?" Emma smiled; she didn't know why she didn't just ask. "Yes. You have a very happy and healthy baby boy on the way."

A Boy! They were going to have a son! If Harry thought he was crying before, he definitely was now! Remus' hand's found he face as he leant up, pulling Harry towards him for a passionate kiss.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

Afterwards, when Emma and Tonks left with firm instructions not to have sex immediately before, during or after the Full. As soon as they had walked out the door, Harry grabbed Remus' shirt and near ripped it off him. It looked like it would be a very good day indeed.

X-x-x-x-x-x-x-x-X

Three days later and it was to be the Full that night. Remus was full out panicking. This might be the night to determine whether his baby lived or died. How could he have been so stupid to let the pregnancy continue?

Harry, of course, was doing his best not to panic, and succeeded at staying away from the alcohol. He had recruited Sirius for the night, or more truthfully had been begged by Sarah, who wanted a night alone with her new son.

They had been to see Procyon two days before, who seemed to be a very inquisitive and engaging baby, staying awake the whole time, while disarming Remus by grabbing a hold of his finger and then yawning in his arms.

Sirius was currently in the bedroom trying to calm Remus for the night ahead, and if the sobs still indicated anything, he wasn't making much progress.

Harry supposed Remus was also freaking out due to the storm raging outside. Remus was normally shitscared of storms, but this one… It was hailing golf balls for Merlin's sake! As if Harry and Sirius needed anything more to worry about!

Harry looked out the window just as the tiniest amount of moonlight shone through the cloud-cover. It was time. He melted into his Animagus form, a wolf nicknamed Blaid, as he heard his husband cry out in pain as his transformation began. 3 minutes later and it was done. Padfoot ushered a slightly chubbier than usual Moony out of the bedroom.

Snape had been told of Remus' condition so that he could make adjustments in advance, though he was greatly amused at the thought of Remus, as he put it, "up the duff." Luckily he had convinced Remus to take his Wolfsbane this month, arguing that if he lost his senses he might do more damage to the baby than what the potion could.

The familiar Pain ripped through him, though slightly muted as he softly howled. The werewolf raised its head, and suddenly trotted to the closet to make a nest. Blaidd and Padfoot looked at one another and followed. Moony had finally settled, calling the two to him with a small huff, giving a lick to Padfoot and pulling Blaid down to lie with him. It seemed everything was quiet and safe tonight.

Preview for next chapter: "James Albus." It sounded perfect.
