Chapter Seven - Time Waits For No One

"I need to see Mr Black at once!" Severus demanded as he burst into the reception at St Mungo's hospital. Within mere seconds, Sirius came running out of a room and stopped dead when he saw Severus. He glanced down at Lucius as he stepped closer and smiled.

"I see someone did the job for me, how kind of you Snivelus." He said darkly as Severus carefully placed Lucius into a large chair. He whipped round and grabbed the collar of Sirius' uniform.

"You are going to help him, and you are going to do it now. What's wrong with him?" He said in a quiet and deadly voice that shocked Sirius. He had always known that Severus didn't like him, but they had never been partularly violent toward one another.

"I can't tell you. Patient confidentiality." Sirius said with a smug smile, pushing Severus off of him.

"But you know he's pregnant, don't you?" Severus said, quieter still, motioning his hand toward Lucius. "When was the last time you saw him?"

"A few days ago."

"And how far along would you say he was a few days ago?"

"It was only recent. I don't think I would be far wrong in saying that he was about four hours pregnant when I saw him. Why is this so important to you?"

"Because a few days ago, he was a few hours pregnant. Now you know as well as I do that Lucius has always been really thin, but carrying him here was a nightmare. And he has a bump, he's getting emotional, everything. And something happened earlier that I would rather talk to you about in private." Severus listed off, picking Lucius up again. "Now where am I taking him?"

Sirius motioned toward the door he had appeared from and Severus walked past him and threw the door, laying Lucius down on a bed and taking a seat in a nearby chair. Sirius set about checking Lucius over, his forehead wrinkling from time to time until her stepped back and glanced at Severus. "This isn't right. He's already four months pregnant! What is going on?!"

"That is what I don't know. There has been something else as well which I think could be out biggest problem of all." Severus said, the seriousness in his voice even more apparent. "I think I may know whose baby it is, and that is the part which is going to cause problems."

"It isn't..." Sirius started and Severus nodded. "Holy shit. Maybe we can get him to abort?"

Severus shook his head. "It wouldn't do any good. When I was with him at Arthur's, Voldemort was speaking through Lucius as said that they were both imortal, he just didn't say it in quite so many words."

"Well then what are we going to do?" Sirius said, becoming angry at his helplessness in the situation.

Both men jumped as Lucius stirred and woke. He looked up at Severus. "What happened? Where are we?" He asked gentilly and Severus walked over and sat on the edge of the bed beside him. Lucius curled toward Severus and Severus stroked his hair soothingly.

"We can talk about this later. You passed out, I just wanted to see that you were alright." He said in a most un-Snape-like tone. And he wasn't lying either. Lucius had passed out, and he had brought him to the hospital to make sure that he was alright.

Lucius justed nodded and closed his eyes, resting his head of Severus' lap and yawning loudly. Sirius glared at Severus and motioned toward the door. Carefully, Severus pulled Lucius off of his lap and lay him back on the bed, coving him with a blanket and he reluctently followed Sirius out of the room.

Once outside, Sirius shut the door and turned to face Severus. "Why didn't you tell him the truth?" He hissed.

"There is no point upsetting him. Just let him get some rest. With the rate that... thing, is growing, he's going to need it."

"Thing? You are calling my baby a thing?!" Both looked round and found Lucius leaning in the doorway with one hand rested on his stomach. "My baby is not a thing." He said in a much quieter tone and turned back into the room. "Leave me alone for a while." He said sorrowfully and shut the door.

Severus stepped forward, but Sirus grabbed his arm. "I know you're not in practice of taking my advice, but I think you had better leave him. I think he's still trying to figure this out for himself. He wants that baby, but I don't think he really knows why."

"No. If I know Lucius then this is some sort of plan to..." SMASH. "Escape." He pushed open the door and walked into the room. Just as he suspected, there was glass everywhere from a shattered window and Lucius was no where to be seen.

Severus sat down on the edge of the bed with his head in his hands while Sirius walked over to the window. "Severus, come here!" Sirius shouted and Severus ran over and looked out of the window but he couldn't see anything.

"What?" He asked, still looking around. Sirius pointed to the glass that remained in the window frame.

"I don't think that Lucius is quite as invincible as we thought."

The glass was covered with blood.
