Chapter 13 – Bad News

Sirius and Kayla had started to look for Lily and James, and found them in the secret room that they had discovered along with Remus and Aria awhile back.

"They're naked! I didn't need to see this Kay!" Sirius moaned as he peeped through his spread fingers.

"We are not naked," James' voice sounded from the bed, causing Lily to wake up.

"What's wrong?" Kayla asked as soon as she placed Lily's look.

She looked as if she had been ran over with a dump truck, and then put through the horror of death.

"Kay," Lily choked. "It's Daddy. Mama says that he's – he's d-d-dying," she sobbed as she walked over to Kayla and embraced her.

Kayla stood there in shock before tears started to fall down her face and soon, her sobs mingled with Lily's.

'No! Nicholas Evans can not be dying on me! He's the only Father I care for! He can't leave me. I need him! Lily needs him! Alexandra needs him! He can't leave! He just can't!' Kayla thought as she cried into Lily's shoulder.

^*^*^*^*^

It took awhile to calm Lily and Kayla down, and when they had, Lily asked if she wanted to go and visit her Father with her, and Kayla said yes with out a second thought.

Nicholas Evans was like a Father to Kayla, ever since he saved her. Ever since he helped her finish reading that book. He was the only man whom she called Daddy. The only man who treated her like a daughter. He was the Father of Kayla's heart. And that's all that matters.

^*^*^*^*

Sirius and James ended up leaving with them, and Kayla couldn't remember anything until she once again saw her Father sitting in the Library.

"Daddy!" she and Lily cried as they locked their arms around his body.

"Ah, my daughters," he cried as he held on to them, just a little more tighter than he had ever before.

"I love you both," he whispered in their hair.

Kayla inhaled the scent of him, and thought that she'd think of him whenever she entered a library. For that is what he smelled like. Old, dusty books. But it was his smell, and his alone.

Too soon, they broke apart and headed for lunch, talking about whatever they could think about.

A/N: If you want every thing that they said during that meeting, you can read this chapter from 'Entranced'. I'm sort of rushing this chapter, sorry, but I really don't know what to put! The link is

^*^*^*^*^

"Sir?" Sirius asked as he entered Nicholas Evan's sanctuary.

"I take it that you are here for the same reasons as James is," Mr. Evans said as he eyed the boy in front of him. Sirius nodded his head, perfectly willing to have Mr. Evans do all the talking. "Well, sit down and I'll tell you what I told James just twenty minutes ago," He snapped.



So, Sirius heard the threat - and cringed at it. 'Ouch! Better keep her very happy,' he thought with a grimace.


"Tell me Sirius," Mr. Evans said, looking Sirius in the eye, "How long have you loved Kayla?"


Sirius smiled dreamily. "I realized what my feelings for her were over the summer Nicky, but I've had these feelings for quite sometime. How long I couldn't tell you, but they've always been there," he said thinking of all the fun filled slaps, punches, and shoves into some hard object or body of water after all the comments he had whispered into Kayla's ear over the years.


"Well, Sirius, I have three things to say to you," Mr. Evans said, efficiently bringing Sirius out of one fond memory in which he whispered something incredibly exotic about how they could warm each other up that cold afternoon into Kayla's ear, in which her reply was a quick in take of breath and letting it out in a shudder, then turning her wide eyes to him and pushing him into the freezing lake.


"One, don't call me Nicky ever again; Two, don't go messing around with other girls; Three, be careful with her, she's been through a lot concerning men in her life. And if you ever force her," he said with a dark glare, and shaking voice, "I will kill you in the most painful way that I know how to, you got that?" Mr. Evans growled.


Sirius, being Sirius, glared right back at him and jumped out of his chair. "I would never do that! God! What kind of person do you take me for, a rapist?" he shouted in outrage. Mr. Evans looked taken back by Sirius' outburst at first, then began to chuckle.


"You and I are going to get along just fine, dear boy, just fine." Within an instant, Mr. Evans sobered and said, "I give you my permission for Kayla's hand in marriage, but you might also want to ask her real father. I know," he said with a sigh as he leaned against the back of his chair, "that she doesn't think of Phillip Cameron as he father, but just for forms sake you should also ask him. And even though it doesn't seem like it, make sure that Maria is involved in the wedding. She really does love Kayla, she just doesn't know how to show love, having grown up herself in a loveless house," he said, referring to Kayla's Mother.


Sirius nodded. He had already planned to do so anyways. At least the part about asking Phillip Cameron for his permission for Kayla's hand in marriage. He looked at Mr. Evans, and was shocked to see tears flowing down his face.


"You know," he said as if he felt Sirius' question. "I have just realized that in one day I have already found out who both of my daughters are marrying, and then have also realized within the same day that I won't be there on their day to walk them down the aisle. I have in fact done so with one of my daughters, but, it didn't feel right. Although nothing with Petunia feels right. She does after all look at me as if I'm a freak," he said, thinking about the daughter that wasn't even his daughter.

Sirius watched as Nick went into a day dream, and walked over to him to snap him out of it.

"Mr. Evans?" he called, but wasn't answered.

"Nicholas?" he tried again. Still no answer.

"Mr. Evans? Nick? NICKY!" Sirius finally yelled.



"Ahh!" Mr. Evans yelped as he his eyes became focused and he saw the teenager standing over him waving his hand in front of his face.


Sirius jumped back in surprise and started to laugh. It must have been contagious, because it wasn't long after that Mr. Evans began to laugh too.


"What? What happened?" Lily yelled as she stormed into the room, followed closely by James, Alexandra, and Kayla.


All they saw was Sirius and Mr. Evans, ten feet in between them, doubled over in laughter. Soon enough, the whole room was filled with laughter. What they were laughing about, no one cared, and no one felt the need to ask.


This was one of those days that they'd always keep close to their hearts.


Not long after that, they were all on the beach, just walking around.

"Say, Sirius," James asked as they strolled along the beach with their girls on their arms, and Mr. and Mrs. Evans a few feet ahead of them. "Why'd you get out of that damnable library laughing, and I came out of their shaking as if I had just emerged from a glacier?"


Sirius smirked at James and in an amused tone said, "Well, Jamie-my-boy, I have this . . . charm shall we say." Kayla gave a snort of protest and Sirius looked down at his girlfriend in disbelief.


"Are you saying that I'm not charming?" he asked in a shocked tone.


"Sirius, honey," Kayla said in a sweet voice. "How long exactly did it take for us to become a couple? Five years." She said as James and Lily began to laugh. "Now, don't you think that if you had charm that it would have taken a little less time for me to begin dating you?" she asked.


"I do to have charm!" he yelled, causing James to fall on his ass laughing, bringing Lily down with him, and Mr. and Mrs. Evans to look back at them questioningly. Sirius blushed and glared at Kayla. "You are so going to pay for that!" he said as he started for her.


Kayla yelped and ran towards Mr. Evans.


"Daddy help!" she said as she hid behind him. Sirius stopped in front of him and mad a grab for her, but she shot out of his grasp and began to run again.


You could hear Kayla screaming for him to stop, Sirius screaming back something along the lines of, "Never my darling!" and Lily, James, and Mr. and Mrs. Evans all laughing like loons.

Sirius seriously couldn't remember ever being as content as he was at that moment.

Hello all! I'm sorry that this chapter seems so rushed! A lot of it was just copied and pasted from 'Entranced', but I added a few lines here and there.

Well, sorry for the disappointment! But please review?

Oh, and I'm sorry that this is so short too!! I thought that it'd be a little bit longer than this, but I guess that I was wrong.
