Luna sat in a hospital bed on the first floor of St. Mungo's Hospital for Magical Maladies and Injuries.

"Was it really necessary to bring me to this floor?" Luna protested.

"One of the potential fathers is a werewolf. Hospital protocol says that we have to treat you on the creature-induced injuries floor until we know otherwise." a healer clad in bright lime robes said matter of factly.

Remus's face grew red, and he let out a cough in protest, but pretended to be reading The Daily Prophet all the same.

"I'm going to need signatures from all parties in order to give consent to run the test. Please sign your name legibly, and please note that upon signing you cannot revoke your consent. If you have any questions, we have lawyers on hand to help explain any legal text that you may not understand." the healer spoke as if she was reading off a memorized script.

A floating parchment and fluffy quill appeared in front of Luna who signed it before the healer had finished her speech. When she finished the parchment and quill whizzed through the air to Remus, and then to Severus once he was finished.

Once all three signatures had been collected, the parchment and quill disappeared with a loud pop noise.

"Now then." The healer began, "I'm going to need a sample from each potential father."

The healer flicked her wand and a single strand of hair was plucked from both Remus and Severus.

"Ouch!" Remus rubbed his head.

The strands of hair began to spin in the air, each in their own little vortex. The vortexes sped up until each strand of hair had transformed into a colorful wisp that was neither quite liquid nor gas. The wisp that had formed from Remus's hair was a bright orange, and the one from Severus was teal.

The healer then turned her attention towards Luna, "And of course, a sample from the unborn."

The healer flicked her wand once more and Luna felt as though ice water was pouring out of her stomach. A thin wisp of silver smoke emerged from her stomach, then floated to join the other wisps.

"Just a moment." The healer said.

Severus and Lupin's wisps began to circle around the silvery wisp. They sped up, each preforming figure eights around the center wisp, their loops intertangling.

Soon, the orange and teal wisps vanished, leaving the silver wisp behind. The silver wisp slowly faded to a teal hue.

"The baby is Mr. Snape's." The nurse said before exiting the room, scribbling on her chart.

"I'll give you a moment." Remus said quietly. He looked absolutely heartbroken, and dragged his feet as he left the room.

Severus walked over to Luna's bedside without saying a word, leaned over, and kissed her stomach. His gaze turned up to Luna, "I know we've had our issues, but Luna, please... We could work things out."

Luna's eyes filled with tears. "Severus, I'm with Remus..."

A lone tear fell down Severus's cheek, and it struck Luna that in the five years she had known him, this was the first time she had ever seen him cry.

"Please. This is my child..." His hand caressed her stomach, "We could be a family... I love you."

Outside the hospital room, Remus stood leaning against the wall. His hands were clenched in tight fists that rested on his thighs. Tears were running down his cheeks.
