I really love the idea of this, I don't even know why.

Also, shoutout to the inspiration of this OC- the lovely Kem'Ajiana

And thank you to Kem'Ajiana and Google for the information I use in these parts

Okay I'm just changing EVERYTHING ENJOY

Okay, I've played with FIVE DIFFERENT ENDINGS HERE. THREE of which included the following scenario, just at three separate times. One of which didn't include the following story line AT ALL. One of which followed canon, to a degree.

But here we are. The end.

And then an epilogue.

I don't know how many chapters before the actual end, but I do have more series/stories starting.


She walked into the room, heading straight for Remus as soon as Sirius took Teddy. She took Remus' hand, leaning over him.

"I love you so much." She whispered, blinking away tears. "I wish I had told you yesterday or the day before- or something-" She exhaled lightly. "You're going to be a father again."

He forced a small smile, squeezing her hand.

"So you better live, Mr Lupin." She whispered, as she heard Erin and Sirius talking quietly to each other.


This was the point when Tonks began truly crying. Sirius held her tighter, Teddy now leaning on Sirius' shoulder instead of Tonks'. She mumbled something, something that Sirius almost didn't catch.

And when he did catch it, it felt like his heart froze, as he muttered to words: "Oh, shit."

It felt the words echoed around the room, even though Sirius had been the only one to hear them. "I'm pregnant, Sirius."

I'll take care of them- all of them, Moony, Sirius promised.


Erin and Sirius walked into Grimmauld Place, intending to stay the night there to give Tonks a night alone with Teddy- on her insistence, and Harry had taken Carina to the Burrow. They must have closed the door just slightly too loud, as the curtains around Walburga's portrait flew open.

"BLOOD TRAITORS AND FILTH, BRINGING DIRT INTO MY HOME-"

Erin drew her out her wand. "Bombarda!" She shrieked, and the wall exploded loudly. When the dust cleared, the painting was gone, but there was a big scorch mark left. "I've wanted to do that for a few days." Erin said quietly when Sirius looked at her.

"We never even thought to-" Sirius began, staring at the wall. He stepped forward, running his hand over the still warm scorch mark. He turned, rushing by Erin to the room with the tapestry.

He pointed his wand at the name Bellatrix Lestrange and with a loud blast, her name was gone. And then Lucius Malfoy, Rodolphus Lestrange, Walburga Black, Orion Black- one by one, he blasted the names of his own family off. He left Narcissa and Draco and his brother's name, but by the time he was done- there were more scorch marks than actual names.

"I didn't realise a disowned family member could disown others.'' Erin's voice said gently. "Back home we can't, anyway."

"I'm the heir of the House of Black." Sirius said quietly. "I can do whatever I want." He traced his finger below two of the newer scorches, over where his name should have been. "I'm going to find a spell, and add those that should be here. Like me, like Andromeda, like Ted, Dora- and you and Remus-"

Erin wrapped her arms around him from behind, resting her chin on his shoulder. "You can cry, you know." She whispered gently.

He turned in her arms, throwing his arms around her and burying his face in her shoulder. And he did just that, he cried.


"I need to go to St Mungo's." Sirius said the next morning, staring at the tea in front of him.

"Are you alright?" Erin asked, clearly worried.

"I wrote to Dora last night. Said I'd take care of the- the arrangements." Sirius said quietly. "I asked Harry to keep Carina another night, I want to fix up one of the spare bedrooms tonight- if you could help- just so we can bring Dora and Teddy here instead of letting them go home alone."

"Do you want me to go check on her while you're gone?" Erin asked. "Make sure she's- make sure she eats, at least?"

Sirius nodded and Erin kissed the top of his head. "It'll be okay, Sirius." She said, rubbing his shoulder.


The day of the funeral, she was sitting quietly on the bed, her heart pounding. It just felt too real. Sirius had taken care of everything, just as he promised. And now she was sitting alone, clutching her husband's wedding ring. Sirius had asked if she wanted Remus to have it when he was buried, and she had spent hours holding the ring and trying to figure out what Remus would have wanted. But then she realised she wanted it, she wanted to keep it. It didn't fit any of her fingers, but she had found a silver chain to hang it on. And perhaps, one day, she could give it to Teddy. Or, if Teddy didn't want it, the new baby. She ran a hand over her still-flat stomach, still a little shocked she had gotten pregnant again, before Teddy was even a year old. It had been one day, one time, while she was helping Remus heal a few bruises he had from a full moon, and somehow Remus had made the first move- despite his injures- and neither had remembered that contraceptive charms even existed.

"Dora?" Sirius asked, appearing the doorway. She looked up, meeting Sirius' gaze.

"I keep hoping it was a bad dream- that I'll wake up and he's still here-" She said, blinking as tears hit her cheeks. She felt Sirius drop next to her, wrapping his arms around her. "What do I do, Sirius?"

"You take care of yourself." Sirius said. "And let us help you."

"No-" She said. ''No, you have Carina. You and Erin have your own baby-"

"And you're family." Sirius insisted. "And family cares for each other."


Sirius stood quietly in front of the coffin. She had been unable to talk, to stand in front of everyone and speak about him- she had broken down again just mentioning it. So Sirius stepped up, as he had so many times in the many years of friendship and war- he stepped up.

"I, uh- I didn't think this would happen. I imagined us together, kids and grandkids maybe, old as- very old." he cleared his throat. "Remus, you were a great man. It always bothered me that you never saw it, that you never understood it.

He pulled something from his robes. "I managed to copy that picture that I put on my wall, the one that really annoyed my Mum." Sirius said. "I wanted you to have it, you deserve to." He placed the picture in the chest pocket of Remus' robes. "Tell Prongs 'hi' for me, then."
