Author's Note- Ok. I'll just make this quick. In case any of you were wondering this story is basically going to be in the point of view of Sirius. It may change once in a while, but you'll know when. So...here is chapter 2. I hope you like!


Chapter 1, Growing up

Well, it's James eighteenth birthday. Everyone is at his house for a party, but it's not much of a change of scenery for me since I have been living at his house all summer until I turn eighteen and buy a place of my own.

Augustine and I are pretty serious about each other, I may even move into her place. But who knows where the next few months will take us.

"Hey Remus!" I said as Remus entered James' living room.

"Hey! Long time no see."

"Yeah."

As Remus went over to wish James a happy birthday I stole Augustine away from Lily for a couple minutes.

"Hey Lily, do you mind if I steal her for a few?"

"Go ahead." she replied, walking over to James. I guess they were pretty serious too.

"Hey." I said leading her over to the couch.

"Hey."

I leaned in and our lips met. I placed soft, butterfly kisses along her jawline, and then I moved down to her neck. She put her arms around my neck and deepened the kiss.

Well, the moment didn't last long as I was soon interrupted by James.

"Sirius, I'm terribly sorry to bother you at the moment but I really need to talk to you and Remus. And Augustine, I think Lily needs to talk to you."

I gently kissed her on the forehead before getting up and following James out of the living room and into the kitchen where Remus was waiting.

"Don't you want to wait for Peter?" Remus asked leaning against the counter.

"He's a no show. Again. Anyways, um-Lily's pregnant."

"SHE'S WHAT?!" I exclaimed. I couldn't have heard him right. How could Lily be pregnant?

"Sirius." Remus began.

"No don't you Sirius me! James how could she be pregnant? How could you let this happen?" I asked as Remus backed down.

"Well, we talked and-"

"You did a lot more than talk!"

"Sirius." Remus repeated, in an almost bored tone.

"Well, we're going to get married in two weeks, and Sirius I want you to be my best man." James said before Sirius could say anything, "No offense Moony." he added.

"None taken."

I was speechless. There's no way I could be mad at him, but how could he let this happen. When I didn't say anything, James continued.

"Sirius, I'm going to be a father!" James exclaimed.

"Congratulations." I said giving him a pat on the back, "And I would be honored to be your best man." That was all I could say, but the smile returned to James' face, and it hit me how much he wanted my support.

....................................................................................................................

"I can't believe your pregnant and getting married!" Augustine exclaimed.

"I know. It all happened so fast." Lily said shaking her head in disbelief.

"I just have to ask one thing. Is this really what you want? I mean you just graduated from school. You don't even have a steady job yet, and you barely have enough money to pay rent. And that's with you and James together."

"I know, but it's not like I can change anything. It's too late to go back. We'll make it through. We love each other and that's all that matters."

I smiled at this ironic answer. Sirius had said something very similar to me a few days ago.

"What about you and Sirius? How are things going?" Lily asked changing the subject.

"Great. He has been talking about moving in with me."

"So you guys aren't engaged yet?"

"Oh God no! But I love him, I really do."

"Would you say yes if he asked you to marry him?"

It took me a second to think but then I answered without hesitation.

"Yes! I want a family some day and I want to live together and have kids."

"Don't worry your time will come. Don't rush it. He'll ask when he's ready. Sirius would make a great father." Lily said smiling.

"Yeah." I replied thoughtfully.

"How about we go find the boys." Lily said.

So we went back into the living room to find the boys all sitting around laughing and goofing around. Typical. But then Sirius caught my eye and smiled. I smiled back and couldn't help but think that I was ready to bring this relationship to the next level.

"Well we should get going. Lily is tired and she needs her rest." Remus said standing up and brushing himself off.

"Yeah, it's getting late and I have to bring Augustine home." Sirius said standing up also.

"Bye Lily. Congratulations." Remus said giving her a hug and then he bid goodnight to everyone else before disapparating into thin air with a loud pop.

"Congratulations Lily." Sirius said, giving her a long hug.

"Thank you. Goodnight."

"Goodnight."

"James." I said nodding.

"Sirius." James said doing the same.

Augustine was saying her congratulations and good nights as I grabbed her hand and lead her out into the chilly night air.

She hopped onto the back of my motorbike and I backed it out and took to the air. She grabbed my waist tighter, and I could just imagine the look on her face. She hated this.

I landed right outside her house, and walked her to the door.

We stopped at the door, and I put my arms around her waist and kissed her. She leaned into the kiss, and her arms almost instinctively went around my neck. I turned my head to whisper in her ear.

"I love you." I whispered.

"I love you too." she whispered in return, do you want to come in? I can put a pot of coffee on." she said as we pulled away.

"No thanks. Maybe tomorrow, I'm really tired."

"Oh, ok. Goodnight." she said opening her door.

"Goodnight." I said and she smiled at me before closing the door. I stood there for a couple minutes. Debating whether or not to go in. After a long moment I took a deep breath and walked back to my motorbike.

I watched as her bedroom light clicked on and you could see her silhouette through the blinds. I watched as the light went off, and she was gone.

As happens sometimes a moment settled, and hovered and remained for much more than a moment. And sound stopped and movement stopped for much, much more than a moment.

And then the moment was gone.


So? How was it? It's really late and I don't think this chapter came out the way I wanted it to. Oh well, if you don't like it let me know. I'm here to please you. But please, please, PLEASE REVIEW! It's really not all that hard, and it helps to develop a better story. Plus it makes me very happy. I don't know how fast the next update will be since I'm feeling a bit under the weather.

Thanks to my one and only reviewer! :(

eternity's star: Thanks for the review! I'm sorry about the confusing prologue. I can't wait for a story from you! Any in the near future?
