Chapter 19: Conflicts

After the honeymoon Sirius was almost never home. His new job at the ministry left him with little time to see his new wife or godson. "Bailey it's been three months if you don't tell Sirius soon he's going to start noticing something's off, and I think he would rather find out from you instead of someone else." Harry said one morning at breakfast.

"I know it's just I've been having second thoughts about everything. Here goes nothing." Bailey said getting up to talk to Sirius before he left for work.

"Hey Bail. the weirdest thing just happened. Remus congradulated me for absolutely no reason." Sirius said coming inot the bedroom.

"Sirius I'm pregnant, that's why Remus said congradulations. I told him because I didn't know how to tell you. I've been pregnant for three months." Bailey said sitting on the bed.

"You've been pregnant for three months and are just now telling me." Sirius yelled.

"Well you really haven't been around lately have you! You go to work early and come home late. When did I have a chance to?"

"Oh don't even blame it on my job! You just didn't want me to know. I'm leaving I'll be late." Sirius said leaving the house. Leaving Bailey to cry in her room. She then pulled out a piece of parchment and a quill.

Dear Lupin,

Please help my by watching Harry. I'm going to stay with Severus until Sirius calms down. Sirius didn't take me having his child lightly. I'm just staying with Severus until Sirius apologizes or I have the child.

Sincerely,
Bailey.

Bailey tied it to the leg of an owl, and then went down to get Harry. "So how did it go?" Harry asked.

"Not good, I sent Remus a not saying that I want you to go and stay there until Sirius calms down. I'm staying with Snape because I know he'll watch out for me like Lupin will for you."

"Ok I'll do this for you but please be careful." Harry said stepping inot the fireplace.

"Sirius what did you say to Bailey?" Lupin said waiting in Sirius' office for him.

"Nothing just bugger off."

"Not until you tell me! I made the same promise to protect Bailey to James as you did! She wrote me before you came."

"Yeah, well did she blame you for working? How about just being todl you were having a child? I don't think so! I don't have time for a child! I barely have time for Bailey, Harry and myself!"

"That's cadswallop! I've seen Bailey almost everyday since you two have been back. If I was Bailey I would have done the same thing." Lupin said sitting down.

"What would you have done?"

"Left! Bailey's staying somewhere else and Harry's staying with Dumbledore."

"Where is she?" Sirius yelled.

"If I told you I wouldn't be protecting her. If this job's getting in the way then you have an important decision to make. You have a day to decide you may be home and I'll talk to you tonight." Lupin said leaving the office.

"Thank you Severus for letting me stay with you." Bailey said upon entering Snape Manor.

"It's a pleasure and it's the least I can do." Snape said holding out his arm for Bailey. Seven months later Bailey was rushed to the hospital by Snape.

"Please whatever you do do not tell Sirius." Bailey said when they got there. Later that day Remus and Harry showed up.

"Remus she's asking for you. She doesn't want Sirius to know she's here. The baby's almost out. I'll watch Harry for you." Snape sat in the waiting room.

"Bailey I'm here, did you have the baby yet?"

"Yeah, they're checking on him, you know making sure he's healthy. Do you have those papers?"

"Yeah. I wish you would reconsider. So what are you going to name him?" Remus handed Bailey a file of papers.

"Remus, Sirius hasn't talked to me in seven months let alone todl or said anything to you. I'd be better off raising my son alone. I'm positive I want this divorce. About the name I thought I'd name him after my four favorite Marauders. James Harry Remus Black. I put Harry in place of Peter." Bailey said signing the divorce papers.

"So where are you going to be staying?" Remus asked putting the papers in a briefcase.

"A couple friends I made in America said I could stay with them. One of them named Brendon said I could live with him and that he would help me take care of James. He was friends with James, they met when their fathers started working together." A couple of months after James was born Bailey moved to America where Brendon and his brother Jason helped take care of James. Harry staying with them over the holidays.

A/N: I did write a sequel to this so I'm not just going to leave you hanging. I just need time to type it up and post it.
