It had been seven weeks since Remus left Sirius the letter. Why wasn't he back? James and Lily were getting married in five days, and while Sirius wanted to be happy that he was going to be his best friend's best man, his thoughts still wandered occasionally to the empty spot in the bed next to him, and the child growing inside him. He was going on his seventh month, had all the things needed for the delivery, gone to every daily appointment with the mediwitch for his expansion charm, pre-natal visits, all without Remus. He was starting to accept, no matter how painful it was to bear, that Remus had left him.

But what if Remus didn't' leave him, but instead was missing? No. He couldn't be. Dumbledore would have told him. Wouldn't he? Sirius didn't know anymore. All night he tossed and turned, nightmares taking turns in haunting him.

He was at Lily and James' wedding, they were all smiling and having fun. Halfway through the ceremony Remus came stumbling in, eyes dark with a stern look on his face. He goes up to Sirius and suddenly they were alone.

"I can't be with you anymore, Sirius. I can't stand the shame and embarrassment."

Suddenly, Remus dissolved and the scene changed. Sirius was standing in the church again, except the happy atmosphere was now dark and gloomy. Everyone was dressed in black and crying, staring up at the alter where the wedding party Sirius was standing with changed into a coffin. Looking in the coffin he saw Remus, looking as though he were sleeping. The scene changed again, he was in a hospital, holding a child, except he was all alone. Suddenly some ministry-looking officials came stumbling in with Remus, who was chained up like a dog. They took the child away, and when Sirius looked up he saw Remus looking at him guiltily, as if to say that he turned them in. The room dissolved and he was in an ally, where Remus lay, blood covered and dying. Now Remus was in a bed with another man.

The dreams continued like that until Sirius woke up with a start. He had heard a noise outside the room. Heart thumping, he grabbed his wand, forgetting in the moment of his inability to use magic, and went to the doorway. Hesitating, he wrenched the door open and pointed his wand at the man standing in front of him, reaching as though he was about to grab the door knob.

"You know you can't use your wand, Siri," said a familiar comforting voice. Remus sounded exhausted. Sirius' heart skipped a beat. He was torn. He didn't know whether to throw his arms around his boyfriend, or beat the shit out of the little snot. Despite their roles in the relationship, Remus was a head shorter than Sirius, and far thinner. Sirius decided to just stand there, staring at the man before him.

"Siri, I need to get in the room. I am totally fatigued and need to rest." Remus looked wearily into Sirius' eyes. Sirius found his courage and decided to speak. He wasn't going to just let this man in his bed after being gone for almost two months. He needed answers.

"Where have you been? You said you would be back after the full moon! You didn't even say goodbye! What the fuck!" Sirius realized he had been jabbing Remus forcefully in the sternum with every statement. "YOU KNOW HOW WORRIED I HAVE BEEN ABOUT YOU! YOU COULD HAVE AT LEAST SENT A LETTER! FLOO CALLED! APPARATED TO SAY YOU WERE FINE! WHAT IF YOU WERE DEAD!" Sirius was about to shove his fingers into Remus' chest again when the werewolf sighed, grabbed Sirius by the wrists, and pushed him into the bed, kissing him ferociously.

As mad as Sirius was at the man, all his thoughts and feelings turned into mush as he dived into the kiss. Remus' hands explored Sirius' body like they hadn't in a long while, and Sirius returned the favor most graciously. Sirius and Remus broke the kiss for air, and Remus, instead of continuing to kiss his lips, started kissing his jaw, then down to his neck. He had just started kissing his collarbone when he broke apart and rolled off to lay next to Sirius, and started speaking:

"I am sorry I was gone so long. I can't go into too many details, but my mission… They were suspecting me… I couldn't leave. I couldn't write. I missed you terribly. I was going insane. What if I died? What if I missed the birth of our child?" His voice broke and he took a second to regain his composure before continuing "I was afraid I would never see you again. I was petrified. I was able to leave last week, but had to wait to make sure I wasn't being followed.

"You gotta believe me, Siri, I love you, and these seven, torturous weeks have made me realize I don't want to be without you. Please forgi—"

The rest of Remus' words were cut off by Sirius slamming his lips into the others. The rest of the night was spent making up for lost time.

A/N: Sorry this took so long to update, I've been pretty busy with my schooling. This is just a short chapter to give you guys something at least until I can actually finish revising the last half of this chapter.
