Remus Lupin ran into the Hospital Wing as if the devil was on his heels. He glanced around before his amber eyes caught sight of the familiar forms of Ron Weasley and Hermione Granger sitting side-by-side on a hospital bed. Both of them were staring at the curtain pulled around a bed a few yards away from them. Remus took a few steps forward, his eyes locked on the curtain, fear racing through his vanes.

He came to a stop beside the bed Harry's two best friends sat on. Hermione and Ron both turned to look at him.

"Professor Lupin," greeted Ron with a slight nod before turning his attention back to the curtain.

Hermione offered the werewolf a small smile that didn't reach her eyes.

Remus nodded, his gaze fixed on the curtain. "How's he doing?" Remus asked, his voice weak. All he knew was that something was wrong with Harry and their unborn child was in trouble.

Hermione shook her head sadly.

"He'll be fine," Ron said. "He's stubborn and he's a fighter. He won't let anything happen to himself or the baby."

Remus nodded, knowing the truth behind Ron's words. He knew Harry won't give up without a fight, but in knowing that didn't settle the hurricane of uneasiness in his stomach.

Gasping, Remus woke up. Sweat dripped down his neck, as he panted. He glanced around, wildly. He relaxed a little when he caught sight of his sleeping boyfriend. His boyfriend was curled around a pillow. His stomach was visibly round.

With a slightly shaking hand, Remus gently touched the baby bump. His magic hummed, feeling the child. Feeling relieved, Remus laid back down and took his boyfriend into his arms. He wrapped himself protectively around Harry and their unborn child.
