Figuring It Out

Disclaimer: I don't own much.

Brunette89: Cause I'm evil, that's why :-D

Ginny-and-Draco-fan: he he, yeah, Sirius is turning into a girly man, isn't he?

Alligator355: Oh don't worry, there will be a sequel once this story is done.

ThouandI: Ha ha, its only out of the minimal goodness in my heart that I'll tell you who the father is in Chapter 10 :-P They were drunk the first time they did it, but I never actually thought about the kissing thing, probably did it doggy style, it wouldn't have been so easy to kiss then I guess :-D

Sarahamanda: Thanks for reviewing!

Short2ndbase613: I'm glad you liked it! I will check out your story soon.

Celi: Aw I'm sorry it's a boring wait!

Frk-werewolf: That's true, at least they'll be friends if Sev isn't the daddy.

Really-big-HP-freak: I'm glad you like this fic so much!

Goddess of Gorgeousness: I am evil, I know and I'm sorry. I think you should get some chocolate.

Inumoon3: Aw you think Sev is ugly? Ah well, fair enough.

Just out of curiosity, what would you all do if the father wasn't any of the four I have mentioned?

Chapter 9: A Baby is Born

It was June, exams had finished and there was about a week left of school. Sirius was due to give birth within the next fortnight and he had all four of the possible fathers at his beckoning call. They had all agreed to do anything for him, they would get him food, let him use their laps as a pillow when he was tired and they would even help him get up out of a chair.

…

When Sirius was about eight months along in his pregnancy, Dumbledore had decided to move him to a more private part of the castle, nearer to the hospital wing. Sirius now had his own big bedroom and his own common room; there was also plenty of room for James, Remus, Severus and Lucius to stay if they felt the need to be with him for a night as well.

………

"Hey Pads." Said James as he wandered into Sirius' common room.

Sirius smiled, "Hi." He looked James up and down and noticed his best friend was once again, covered in dirt. "Have fun?"

James grinned, "Of course. You should've come, we won."

Sirius rolled his eyes, "You always win, there's no point in watching. James Potter scores the winning goal for Gryffindor! See, I've been to enough matches to know. We always get ahead by goals instead of catching the snitch."

"Okay, okay, I get the point." Replied James in amusement. "Anyway, how are you today?"

Sirius snorted, "Fat, bloated, hungry… I haven't seen my feet in months and…and I can't get up." He went bright red after he had finished speaking. He glanced up at James. "Help me? Please?"

James smirked, "Of course." He held his hands out to Sirius who took them. He pulled Sirius to his feet; deliberately pretending it was a very hard task. "God…my back…"

Sirius punched his friend in the shoulder; "If anyone should be complaining about their back, it is me…Ow shit!"

"What? What's happening? Are you okay?" Questioned James worriedly.

Sirius nodded, "Yeah…the baby just kicked, that's all…" It was half of the truth. All of last night he had been in a bit of pain and he knew it wasn't just because the baby was kicking, he was almost certain he was starting to have contractions.

James nodded uncertainly, "Are you sure? I mean, I can get Madame Pomfrey for you…"

"James, I'm fi-" Sirius stopped mid sentence and groaned in pain instead. "Ow…infirmary…now…"

James just stared at his friend in shock, he knew what was happening now and he wasn't so sure he wanted to be the only one present for it.

"James! Get me to the fucking infirmary!"

James snapped out of his daze, "Okay…how?"

…Three Hours Later…

"Get it out of me!"

James was pacing up and down the corridor outside the infirmary; he had alerted Remus, Lucius and Severus about Sirius going into labour about two and a half-hours ago. Severus and Remus were both sitting on the corridor floor near the door, their backs against the wall; Lucius was staring pensively out of one of the corridor windows.

"Why can't we go in?" Questioned James suddenly, he was worried sick, he knew Sirius had gone into labour a bit earlier than expected and he wanted to make sure his best friend was all right.

"They probably don't want us in there until they know who the father is." Replied Lucius; his grey eyes fixed on a point outside of the castle.

Remus nodded in agreement, "Plus, we'd probably just be a nuisance if we were all in there with him… It sounds painful."

They heard a howl of pain coming from behind the closed infirmary doors.

James leaned back against the wall after wincing at the sounds Sirius was making as he, by the sounds of it, gave birth. "We have a right to be in there."

Severus glanced at him, "For once I actually agree with you." He and Sirius had been getting closer ever since their Hogsmeade date and he now felt very protective of his boyfriend of just over four months.

"…Get me some fucking pain killers!"

……

Sirius had tears streaming down his face as he gripped the sides of the Infirmary bed tightly. "Ow…"

Minerva McGonagall pressed a cool cloth to Sirius' sweating forehead as the teenager cried and groaned in pain.

"Sirius, you have to push." Said Poppy Pomfrey from the bottom of the bed. "It'll be over a lot faster if you push."

"I can't…"

"You have to."

Sirius whimpered as he tried to push again. He had never felt pain like this before and he was damn sure he didn't want to go through it ever again.

……

All four of the other boys were sitting on the corridor floor outside the Infirmary now. Lucius was setting things on fire with his wand and then putting them out again, that was a sure sign that he was bored out of his mind now. Severus had accioed a book to read while they waited as had Remus, but the werewolf wasn't reading his, instead he had his head on James' shoulder. James had only just come back from having a shower after the Quidditch match; he had been covered in mud until about half an hour ago.

Lucius finally put his wand down, "It's been four and a half hours."

Remus raised an eyebrow; "Giving birth isn't always a quick process you know?"

"What the hell would you know?!" Snapped Lucius irritably.

"Hey! He didn't do anything to you." Replied James narrowing his eyes at the older Slytherin. No one shouted at his boyfriend and got away with it.

Lucius glared back at the Gryffindor Quidditch Captain.

Remus got up from his spot on the floor and stretched, "I know, Lucius, because I was there the entire twenty one hours it took for my mum to give birth to my sister."

James glanced up at Remus frowning; he hadn't heard his boyfriend speak about his sister ever since she died. She had only been about four and she had a bad Asthma attack while the Lupins were on holiday and it killed her.

Severus sighed, he saw Lucius was about to retaliate and most likely really hurt the werewolf so he spoke. "Don't start fighting you two…" He got two sets of glaring eyes on him. "How do you think it'll make Sirius feel?"

James nodded, "Exactly. It's only going to upset him if we all start trying to kill each other, that's the last thing he needs."

Lucius opened his mouth to say something just as they heard the sound of a baby crying coming from the Infirmary.

Lucius, James and Severus all scrambled to their feet and they followed Remus to the Infirmary door where they all tried to listen.

"…girl…congratulations Sirius…"

"…want to hold her…"

"…passed out Poppy…"

"What are they saying?" Questioned Severus quietly.

Remus smirked, as he had the sharp hearing that came with being a werewolf he could hear everything that was going on behind the door. "It's a girl and Siri passed out."

"That's not good is it?" Asked James worriedly.

Remus rolled his eyes, "No James, its great. Every new parent passes out when their child has been born."

James scowled at his boyfriend, "That's not funny."

Lucius and Severus both snorted in amusement.

………

It had been four hours since Sirius had given birth; it was nearly eleven-o clock that night now. The four possible fathers had all been in to see Sirius and the baby while they both slept. They all noticed that there were no real tell tale signs in the baby that would tell them who's it was. The only noticeable thing was her shock of black hair, but Sirius' hair was black so they couldn't be sure and as she was asleep they couldn't see her eyes.

Sirius groaned as he woke up, he was groggy and he was in some pain.

"Welcome back to the land of the living."

Sirius opened his eyes and gazed tiredly at Madame Pomfrey, "What happened?"

Poppy smiled, "You gave birth, Sirius." She watched as Sirius started to sit up, he seemed more alert now. "You gave birth to a healthy baby girl."

Sirius bit his bottom lip as his eyes settled on the crib beside his bed, "C-can I hold her?"

Poppy carefully lifted the little baby out of the crib, "Of course you can, she is your daughter." She handed the little baby to the teenager and helped him get comfortable. "Make sure you support her head, I'll be right back."

Sirius cradled the little bundle in his arms and he gazed down at the sleeping baby. "…Nine months of an aching back and compulsive eating for this…bloody hell…" He said quietly as he watched his daughter sleep. Wow…I can't believe it's happened…she is so cute! He smiled down at the baby as she slowly woke up. "Hey, little one."

Poppy came back to Sirius' cubicle and smiled when she saw him with his daughter, "She's quite a looker already. I'd watch out for her when she's older."

Sirius looked up at the usually stern school matron; "She just woke up…"

Poppy put two goblets down on the bedside table next to Sirius, "I'll leave you two to get acquainted, now I want you to take both of these potions in a few minutes, ok?"

"Ok." Replied Sirius quietly. He smiled at Poppy before she left and then he gazed back down at the baby who was watching him. "You are so cute." He held one of her tiny hands in his own and smiled tearfully, it was then that he noticed her eyes. The baby's eyes were the dead give away of who her other father was.

Wow…I honestly didn't expect it to be him…
