Thanks to:
GryffRavHuffSlythendor: Lmao, I am so sorry! I didn't mean to almost kill anyone. Maybe I should put a warning in the summary, 'Warning: Final chapters not recommended to people with Heart problems and Pregnant woman.' And I'm going to try my hardest to try and fit in your raunchy scene here lol!
Kitty254781: Again, my deepest apologies to near death experiences lol!
Arigazi: Aye I was particularly proud of the 'purgatory' (if you like) aspect to that scene. The chapter relating to the title was half planned, half slipped in. I was planning to use it in the epilogue but it seemed to fit in there rather nicely.
Hp-Azn: Ok the weirdest thing about that review was that I understood it lol! You do realise that had I killed Harry I would've used you as my shield against the rest of the reviewers as you're the one that loves the angst lol!
Angel74: Aw thank you, and aye I like that scene. Lily is such an understanding character that I figured she'd be the one least upset if Harry chose Cara. And tell me about it, not writing for Cara is going to give me withdrawal symptoms lol. But I did rather like your of it being a trilogy, If I can create a plot for it then you KNOW it'll be here lol. As for fics I have planned there is of course the next one I intend to start straight after this which is the prequel that follows Remus and Sirius's relationship. Then I also want to do a 'Sliding doors' style AU fic where Sirius is pulled away from the Veil just in time meaning he lives. That'll then follow the idea of what might've occurred and I also hope to slip Cara into Hogwarts in that one where once again he'll fall for our little Boy who Lived. And finally I might even write little spin offs of 'Autumn Skies'.
Elrohir Lover: Lol, hanky? Aye that chocolate sounds delish so stop taunting little old me...actually never mind, I just found my packet of Bertie Botts (The Horse Radish ones are HORRIBLE!)
Sykoticstalker27: I'm sure it would've done little happy bouncing Remus's and Cara's cheering happily!
Pointofnoreturn: Wow, your comments made me feel so...wow. I was going for the suspense factor, always the best one lol, and I'm glad that you enjoyed it. I'm also really glad that you could follow with the characters because to get into the scene I had to try and fall into every emotion so its nice to know that I wasn't the only one getting sad when Cara did or getting desperate when Harry did. And tell me about it, I don't want this to end but all good things come to rest (sigh). Plus, loving your fic 'Fate and Fate's consequence' right now. I suggest to all those people who like a little Remus/Harryness to take a nosey!
Before I start I want to thank you all once again for all your comments and support. You guys really made my day even when it was one of those days where screaming out loud is an acceptable penance. Thank you all!

Chapter 34 – Epilogue
(One year later)
"Harry...we really should make our way." Cara gasped out between groans as the dark haired man remained latched to his throat, kissing sweet trails up and down the pale flesh that rose in goosebumps. He giggled as the lips brushed over a ticklish spot on his neck and Harry grinned as he leant back.
"Why? It's our anniversary party, surely we can arrive whenever we want to?" He grinned once more as he placed a searing, battling kiss on the pink lips of his husband. The werewolf linked his fingers through the ebony hair as they both fell back against the bed, moving sensually against one another as though they were one in the same.
Cara ran his fingers down the animagi's olive chest as he unbuttoned the shirt Harry had thrown on. Pushing it aside he rolled them both over so that he was straddled on the darker male's hips, kissing a tingling path down the man's chest.
He passed over raised skin causing Harry to hiss slightly in discomfort. Cara looked up worriedly and moved back up his mate's body placing a hand on the scar in the centre of Harry's chest.
"I can't believe I can still feel aches through that thing." The young Auror grumbled before his eyes drooped a little in bliss as the blonde massaged the sensitive scar. He leant down and placed a tentative kiss on it before moving back up to Harry's lips.
"Some scars never heal." He said quietly as Harry watched him thoughtfully, an expression of pensive emotion clouding his eyes.
"There's something I never told you." The animagi said as he rolled them over, kissing the blonde's slowly exposing chest as he removed the cream shirt from his husband.
"Really? What's that?" The werewolf said breathlessly as he closed his eyes and leaned his head back into the pillow. Harry fingered along the hem of the man's trousers before slipping the zipper down slowly.
"When I almost died last year I saw my mother...and I saw you."
Cara opened his eyes and looked down to where a pair of emerald eyes watched him carefully. He reached a hand down to cup a tanned cheek lightly in his as Harry pulled his trousers down all the way leaving him naked to his lover's gaze.
"Me?" He whispered as his husband nodded placing gentle kisses along the inside of his thigh.
"You came to take me back home...I wasn't ready to leave you yet, no matter who was waiting on the other side for me."
His amber sight misted slightly as he processed the information and he moaned in both the sensation of those sinful lips on his abdomen and from the idea of such a love overcoming death.
"I thought I dreamed that." Cara confessed as Harry looked up sharply. The raven eyebrows knitted together in confusion.
"What do you mean?" the animagi asked as he moved back up the smooth skin of the blonde's body.
"I fell into a fitful sleep at one point next to Remus and I had a dream of an autumn forest...and I saw you reaching out to your mother and I... I had to tell you how I felt."
Harry watched the werewolf silently for a moment then suddenly moved forward into a passionate kiss. Pulling back with a slick sound he rested his forehead against Cara's, his eyes clenched shut.
"Goddess I love you." He said huskily before shrugging off his shirt. They soon lay beneath the light white sheets in an intimate dance, perspiration painting their skin and laboured breath filling the air as they moved together.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Laughter, music and general chatter filled the back garden of the Weasleys as the party continued. Harry was talking animatedly with Ron, Cara by his side as he and Hermione chatted happily.
The various older adults like Dumbledore, Remus and the Weasleys were in a large group as the music thrummed loudly.
The younger members were dancing on an unseen dancefloor including Bill who held his one-year-old son in his arms as they bobbed to the music.
"This is one hell of a party mate!" Ron called over the music as Harry cupped a hand to his ear, nodding to signal that he had heard.
"Thank Remus, it was his idea. The Marauder still holds the title of throwing the best parties!"
Hermione laughed as she placed a hand over her stomach, stroking it very slightly over the tiny bump growing there. She and Ron had married six months after Harry's recovery, their first child due in 7 months time to which the animagi had already laid claims to being the Godfather. The couple had also announced Cara as the child's other Godfather of course but like Harry said, that was never in question.
"How are you feeling Hermione?" The werewolf asked as the group moved to a less noisy area and seating themselves in some garden chairs.
"Blissfully happy but I have been warned that the moodiness, erratic behaviour and tiredness will set in any day now." She joked and Ron sighed.
"Well I suppose the big tits will make up for it." He teased and the woman gave a gasp before slapping his arm as the other two men laughed.
"You're awful Ron." Harry chuckled as he sipped his beer. He looked over at Cara who seemed to get a longing look in his gaze as he watched the exchange between the couple and the animagi placed a hand over the blonde's knee to draw his attention.
"Hey." He whispered and Cara smiled as he linked their hands together.
Hermione watched the exchange thoughtfully for a moment before she worried her bottom lip with her teeth. She turned her current thought over in her mind then took in a breath like one would before they took a plunge causing all three men to look at her.
"Listen...at work something's...something's come up and I told them not to do anything until I had spoken with you two. They of course didn't mind seeing as you're two of their best Aurors."
Harry and Cara watched her closely as she leant forwards slightly to them, taking one each of their hands in hers and looked at them for a moment.
"About a week ago I received a file through. The local orphanage has recently found a baby boy on their doorstop, only about 2 years or so, and they're having trouble finding him a home..."
"What's this got to do wit..." Harry was cut off as the witch held up her hand to stop him.
"Turns out the boy was bitten...by a Lycan. No one wants to adopt a werewolf but you see he really needs a home..."
She looked at the pair anxiously as they looked at one another stunned. Cara seemed to swallow down a lump in his throat as he gripped Harry's hands in his. He turned his almost pleading look back to the woman who continued to worry her lip.
"Are you saying what I...?" He couldn't finish the sentence and settled instead for tightening his grip on his husband's hand. Hermione took another breath as she felt the anxiety slipping from the look in the blonde's eyes.
"I know you two dearly want your own family, I've seen it in the way you'll look at Bill's son or when you talk to the baby in me. This little boy really needs a good home and I've...ok, don't be mad but I already took care of the paperwork saying that Cara, despite his condition, can raise an infant."
There was a heavy silence but it was disrupted as Cara pushed out of his chair and hugged his friend tightly. Harry stood and hugged the both of them as Ron decided that what the hell, he'd join in too.
The werewolf leant back with glassy eyes as he looked up at his husband.
"Harry, can we?" He whispered and Harry, equally choked up nodded as they shared a kiss.
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
"Ok Mr and Mr Potter-Faolan, if you'll come right this way." The Wizarding Orphanage matron smiled at them kindly as she lead them down the long corridor. They passed windows where children of all ages could be seen playing, having a story read to them or in some cases sleeping soundly.
Cara gripped Harry's arm in excitement and reaching up with his other hand the animagi lightly squeezed it back.
"Here we are." The matron said as they entered a nursery where various babies slept silently, a little snuffle here and there, until they reached the cot at the end of the row. The woman smiled over at them before turning and lifting the baby out of the little blue cot causing the tiny tot to coo and squirm slightly.
She turned then and Harry could feel the lump forming in his throat. Cara gave a great gasp as the woman moved towards them with the tiny baby.
"Would you like to hold him?" She asked softly and not trusting his voice the blonde nodded. Carefully the old lady placed the baby in Cara's awaiting arms where the werewolf instantly went to brace one hand under the baby's head and another under its body.
The baby boy had a mop of shining midnight black hair on his head that fell in a short wave over his forehead. Almost golden auburn eyes were wide and doeful as they gazed up at the man whose arms he rested in and after a tense moment the baby gave a wide grin showing off the few teeth that had developed. He gave a little sound of excitement before the tiny child squirmed happily and curled into Cara's chest, snuggling closer to the warmth.
Harry reached one arm around his husband's waist as the other reached up to stroke the fine black hair of the boy. Cara gave an ecstatic sob as the baby gave a happy whimper at the feel of the animagi's hand.
"It would seem he's adopted you two." The matron laughed and the two men looked up with teary eyes nodding.
"This is him...this is our son." Harry said as his husky voice cracked under all the emotion. He leant down to place a small kiss on the baby's brow making the auburn eyes open and the baby giggled as he reached up for Harry's glasses.
"What're you going to call him?" The woman asked kindly as she moved across the room to find the first sheets of the adoption forms. Cara looked over to his husband and knew instantly that they both shared the same wish of the child's name.
"Sirius..." He said clearly as he watched his mate smile at him and looked down once again at the baby who looked up at him closely, "Sirius Potter- Faolan."
Iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Cara placed the sleeping baby down into the extravagant crib that had burgundy and gold mosquito nets hanging down over the head of the head. Sirius fell asleep on his back with his hand's either side of his head as he whimpered slightly. The older werewolf placed a tentative kiss on the baby's cheek and instantly Sirius was calm.
Harry leant down and repeated the motion then stood straight once more beside his husband, a hand resting gently on the rising and falling chest of the sleeping babe.
After one last kiss they both left where they crawled into their own king- sized bed and Cara snuggled up against Harry's chest causing the darker male to hum happily whilst stroking the fine blonde locks through his fingers.
"I think Remus is about ready to kidnap Sirius as his own." The animagi chuckled and Cara laughed lightly beside him.
"He'll have to get through me first." The blonde teased causing Harry to chuckle a little harder. He rested his cheek on top of the werewolf's head, kissing it a few times before he spoke.
"Cara...thank you." He said and the blonde smiled as he snuggled his face under his lover's chin.
"You're welcome but what am I accepting here?" His breath tickled under Harry's chin causing him to smile.
"For bringing me back...for being here with me. You're my anchor Cara, and like I told you once you are my autumn prince too. Now we have a child, our cub, and I can already see him being just as reckless as the man he's named after."
The blonde chuckled and nodded...Goddess forbid that Sirius should find a willing bunch of future Marauders.
"And I suppose I just wanted to say thank you...for giving me a reason to live. To hell with the Green Flame, you're the Sacred Power that burns within me."
Cara sat up to look down at his beautiful husband, his lover, his mate and a smile graced his lips. Just like he had 4 years ago after Harry had told him he was his autumn he reached down to bring the animagi into a searing kiss, the two joining together in their intimate Dark Waltz once more.

An: And there it is people, the end of Autumn Skies. Now I feel useless but never fear for my exams for this week are almost over and do not be surprised if you see the prequel "Embracing the Moon" (Sirius/Remus) propping up on the weekend. Once again I want to thank you all and I ask you to watch out for Cara in the AU or even a possibly sequel to this (no promises about the sequel though).
