Figuring It Out

Disclaimer: I don't own very much. I own Steven Bion, Marcus Daniels and Janus Paris, but they're not very important so you don't have to remember them.

Legolas19: Glad you love it!

Eleonora1: He he, glad you like it! Still…

Jojo: I didn't update again straight away cause I was kind of hoping I'd get more reviews.

Brunette89: Oh don't worry, I can safely say without giving anything away that Peter is definitely not the father.

Warnings: Talk about sex and swearing.

Chapter 2: Thinking It Over

Sirius lay on his bed on his stomach with a piece of parchment and a quill in front of him, he had been told by Dumbledore, McGonagall and Madame Pomfrey to take a few days off to think over his options. So he decided to spend his time figuring out who the father of his baby was, so far, he had written down seven names on the parchment.

Steven Bion

Marcus Daniels

Janus Paris

Lucius Malfoy

Severus Snape

Remus Lupin

James Potter

These were the seven guys he had slept with in the time frame of conception that Madame Pomfrey had given him. "Well, this ought to be fun…" I think not.

Sirius stared at the parchment, going over each of his sexual encounters with these guys. Okay, so Steven was on the bottom so I can cross him off. He did so. Marcus was on the top and bottom but he never came in me, he pulled out before it happened…perhaps he knew the risks? Sirius crossed Marcus' name off the list. Janus…we never actually had intercourse unless a baby can be conceived down your throat from a blow job.

Sirius crossed Janus' name off the list and stared at the last four names. Oh god, I was on the bottom for all of these, they're all control freaks in the sack. This might be harder than I thought. God, who even knew all these guys were gay anyway?

He rolled onto his back and stared up at the scarlet canopy over his bed. Well first, perhaps I should take a look in the library for books about werewolves, I'm not even sure if they can have children or not.

Sirius got off his bed, he pulled his robes on and headed out of the dorm and down into the Common Room. He left the Gryffindor Tower and headed off down a corridor to go to the library, students were still in class so he'd be able to do his research in peace and at the moment, he really couldn't handle a lot of noise. Everything just really pissed him off for some reason.

"…contrary to popular belief, werewolves are able to reproduce…"

"Crap…" Muttered Sirius, he sat back in his chair at a table in the library. Can't cross him off then…shit…so four guys could be the father of my baby. Two of my best friends and two of my supposed enemies. God I don't know who I'd rather the father is.

Let's see, if Remus was the father, the baby could very well have lycanthropy, which I don't really mind. And it would probably have his gorgeous eyes, as they're darker than mine are…

Now if James was the father, the kid might have a visual impairment. But James, like Remus is very good looking. Especially when he wears his contacts…

Severus…can't believe I just called him Severus… Oh well, the kid would still have dark hair, and with both of us as parents it'd be pretty smart and probably be quite good at potions… Sev is quite good looking really…

And Lucius, wow, if it was his kid he'd probably order me to give it the 'Malfoy' name, but god he is gorgeous! No wonder he has more girls after him than I do. Slytherin or not, I'd love it if he was the father…

Sirius got up and took the book back to the section he had gotten it from; he didn't hear anyone coming up behind him.

"Hm, good research subject…very good kissers are those werewolves."

Sirius glanced over his shoulder at his messy haired best friend, "Is there anyone he hasn't been with?"

James smirked, "Still not as many as you." Sirius shrugged. "So, have you had any luck with your plan?"

Sirius leaned back against the bookcase, "I've narrowed it down to four…and yes, you are one of the four."

James didn't look at all worried or fearful, "Look, whatever happens, I'll be here for you."

Sirius smiled, "Thank you. That means a lot…"

James grinned, "What are friends for eh?"

"Shagging, apparently." Replied Sirius, he ran a hand through his hair.

"Have you eaten today?" Asked James in concern.

Sirius pulled a disgusted face, "Please don't talk to me about food, I've already puked enough today."

James raised an eyebrow, "Okay, want to go back to the dorm then?"

Sirius nodded, "Yeah, I am so tired and I slept like a log last night."

"Yeah, I could hear you." Replied James as they both left the library. "Do you think you could use a silencing charm tonight?"

Sirius punched him lightly on the shoulder, "Shut up."

James smirked, "So, who are the other possibilities?"

Sirius bit his lip, "Um, Remus, Snape, and Malfoy."

James raised his eyebrows, "Shit, you do get around."

"I know." Sighed Sirius, "Its only now that I wish I wasn't such a fucking skank…or gay." He said the password to the Fat Lady and entered the Common Room ahead of James.

"You're not a skank." Said James as he followed Sirius up to their dorm. "You're just…sexually healthy."

"James, shut the fuck up."

"Yes sir." Replied James, he dropped his bag on their dorm floor and fell onto his bed. "So…when you do figure out who the other daddy is, are you keeping it?"

Sirius sat down on his bed and sighed, "I'm only sixteen, I'm too young to have a kid, whether the other parent is around or not." He looked down at his hands in his lap. "But I don't think I can get rid of it…there's no way I'd be able to terminate it. I mean, its not much at the moment but it's a living thing, it's a child…its my child…"

James smiled at his friend, "You know, I think you'd be a good dad."

"Really?" Sirius glanced up at James, his deep blue eyes shining with adoration for his best friend.

James nodded, "Yeah, you seem pretty determined to go through with it. And you've obviously already grown attached to it and it's only, what, a four week old foetus?"

Sirius nodded, he could feel tears coming on now. "But what if the father is Malfoy or Snape? What if they don't want anything to do with the baby, or me? What am I meant to do then?"

"Hey, calm down." Said James soothingly, he got off his own bed and went to sit on Sirius', and he put an arm around his friend's shoulders. "If they don't want anything to do with it, you've still got me and Remus, and my parents. We all care about you."

Sirius bit his bottom lip and rested his head on James' shoulder, "You know, right now I'm kinda hoping its you."

James put his arms around Sirius and hugged, "And again, whoever it is, I'll still be here for you."

"I know…"

Sirius lay awake thinking that night, Peter, Remus and James had all fallen asleep already so he just listened to the soft breathing coming from James' bed just across from his and the night noises outside the window.

How am I going to figure this out? How do I go about finding out who the father of my baby is? I wonder if there's a magical DNA test you can do on the unborn baby or something… Oh god, what do I do? Why did this have to happen to me of all people? Why didn't I do that suggested reading in Health class last year?

Fuck I am so confused…

Maybe Madame Pomfrey can help me figure it all out.
