Recap:
"What?" asked Caroline
"Is the baby mine?" Sirius re-asked terrified

(Back with Sirius and Caroline—in the closet)
"I—I don't know," Caroline looked down at her feet in shame, "Maybe."
"Is there any way we can be sure? Are there paternity tests?"
"They can only be done once the baby is born…" Caroline answered.
"Wait…are you sure?" Sirius anxiously asked.
"Well, no, there is one that can be done now," Caroline said.
"Then let's go!" Sirius was terrified. Absolutely terrified.
"No. That would mean…too much if it came out your baby, too. The test—Magnetum Trialange—that's what it's called—involves too much risk. I'd have to tell James what was going on because he would have to do part of the spell, too. And, let's face it Siri, you could not take care of us both and yourself if you were the father. It's not a bad thing—but a baby is another life for you—I just think you couldn't handle it. James could, though. He could take care of this thing and me. And I couldn't break James's heart into a million pieces just to know who has the right to its genes. Let's do everything we can, and if we have to at the end, then we will. Just remember, you could be the dad—so don't do anything too stupid, kay?" she sniffed and then giggle a tiny utter.
"Allright. I'll get you some money. But do you think it is? Mine? I mean, can you just guess?" Caroline could desperately tell he wanted an answer or he wouldn't be able to sleep for the next six months, when the baby came.
"I honestly just don't know. Sirius, if I could change this and take it all away, I would. But, I can't. It could be your baby. It could be James's. It could be…*sigh* I just wish I knew." Caroline was in distress. Sirius sensed this in the small, dark, closet and could hear James closing the front door. Sirius opened the closet and they both jumped out.
"Yeah, Caroline, I guess I could paint this, I mean if you want me to!" Sirius covered up.
"Yeah, let's see. What do you think, James? Pink and blue or yellow or green? I just can't decide." Caroline took a hint and followed Sirius's lead.
"Caro, this is a closet. Not a bedroom. See the hooks for cloaks? And two feet of room? Yeah. A closet!" James said giggling.
"Right! I know it! But, you know, just for…you know…for a…"
"An extra space! For storage!" Sirius jumped in.
Caroline mouthed thank-you to him from behind James.
Sirius nodded to her and then added to James what he could paint it –green, yellow, pink and blue, or any design.
After a few minutes of talking they decided an outdoor theme of mountains and hills and lakes would be cute. Sirius agreed to paint it for them next week on a Monday.
When James went upstairs to fetch a book he was going to lend for Sirius, Sirius whispered hurriedly to Caroline:
"Meet me. Tonight. Two in the morning. At the gate next to the cemetery. We need to talk."
James came down to the stairs.
"Okay," Caroline answered in a whisper.
"Well, Sirius, Caroline is going to her twelve week check up, but we'll talk to you tomorrow?! Okay?"
"Yeah, great! Thanks for supper! Fabulous cooking! I WILL! I'll talk to you very soon," he said with a hint wink to Caroline that James didn't pick up.
As Sirius walked out the door, James asked Caroline very suavely, "What are you two secretly planning?"
Carloine stayed cool, but panicked on the inside.
"What? A mural of me in the closet?" James inquired.
Guys were very slow, Caroline and the author thought together.
