Chapter 14:

(Isabella's POV)

During the next few weeks, Sirius had taken me to the Headquarters of the Order of the Pheonix. He then explained to me that this used to be his old house, and it would be where we would be staying until he was freed.

"Sirius, is Harry going to come live with us?" I asked him one night while we were preparing to go to sleep.

"Well, I was kind of hoping that he could...during the summer ya know...why?" He asked me.

"Oh..." then I noticed the look on his face,

"Oh, no Sirius, I would love Harry here, he just reminds me so much of them that sometimes he brings back memories...that's all.." I said to him my eyes watering up.

"It's alright...shhhh" he said and pulled me close to him. I fell asleep soon after.

The next morning I felt sick, like I never had before. I kept getting very dizzy and my emotions were 'sky rocketing'...one minute I felt like crying, the next I was very very upset. I could feel my powers rising, I needed to go see Madam Pomfrey. When I went to see her, my suspiscions were confirmed, I was indeed pregnant. Madam Pomfrey told me that I needed to rest, and that I was at least 2 weeks along already. She also said that I need to be careful with my emotions around others, if someone were to set a powerful pregnant witch off, who knows what could happen. As she was explaining to me about my mood swings and what to expect, I sort of blanked out. I then realized that this baby was obviously Sirius' and I would have to tell him. I wasn't sure if he wanted a kid right now, I mean he is still on the run from the aurors and demetors after all. I needed to talk to Remus. He would know what to do.

"Remus..." I called "Remus..."

"Yes? Oh, Isabella, it's you...I haven't seen you in awhile...how are you?" he said with a big smile on his face.

"Well...actually...RemusI'mpregnant" I said in a rush and looked down.

"WHAT!" he said

. "Sorry to bother you...nevermind..." I said and walked out.

"Wait!" I heard him call after me, "Isabella, that's great news! I'm so happy for the both of you, I bet Sirius is estatic.." he then looked at me..

"He does know doesn't he?"

"Well..no..." I said sheepishly. "I don't know what his reaction is going to be..." I said.

"He'll be thrilled! Do you know how long he has wanted a family of his own, a daughter or son to raise...I promise you, he'll be jumping up and down in joy!" With Remus saying that, I quickly apparated.

"Wait, Izzy, there's something else..." I heard him say right before I apparated.

When I walked in, I saw Sirius reading a Quidditch magazine. I took a deep breath and began to walk towards him, "Hey Izzy, I need to tell you something..."

"Yes?" I said. "Well, you see, Dumbledore is sending me on a mission wih Remus...and I'll be gone anywhere from a few weeks till a few months..." He said and waited for my reaction.

"What!" I said. "You can't leave now, Sirius, I'm pregnant, and that's a very long time to be away, and if you and Remus are gone who is--" I babbled quickly, I needed to just get out of the room, because I was getting upset. I felt him cover my mouth with his hand.

"What did you say?" "I didn't say anything..." I said and tried to walk out of the room to vent alone. "Did you say that you're pregnant?"

"Yes, Sirius, I am...but now you are leaving, again. It's not fair, I just got you back, and now you are leaving again, and your taking Remus...how am I supossed to occupy my time...it's not fair, I know I sound selfish, but I deserve to be selfish right now and---" He came over to give me a hug,

"Get away from me..." I snapped and walked out of the room, and into the bedroom banging the door as I walked through.

I felt stupid. Here, my husband was leaving to go do Order business, and I had to yell at him the night before he was leaving. I was angry though, plus I think the fact that I was pregnant helped too. Madam Pomfrey had warned me about my emotions. He didn't need to leave yet, he needed to stay with me. Plus, Remus was going with him, so I would have no one to talk to, and spend time with while Sirius was gone. I decided to go apologize, right after I had taken a little nap though.

When I had awoken, I looked all over the house for Sirius. There was no sign of him anywhere. I then saw that there was a little note on the fridge. It read,

"Isabella, Dumbledore said that Remus and I had better start our mission tonight, so we decided too. When I came into our room to say goodbye, you looked so peaceful sleeping that I couldn't disturb you. I love you and while I am gone, please take care of our baby and yourself, I will be back as soon as I can, I promise."

I quickly apparated to Hogwarts to see if they had indeed already left. I checked Remus' room, and saw that no one was there. I checked all over Hogwarts, but did not find them. As I was heading to the library to read a book or two, I ran into something very hard.

"Shit--" I said.

"Now, Ms. Dumbledore, I don't think that's very appropriate language..." I heard someone say jokingly. I recognized that voice, I looked up and saw Serverus standing there. When I was younger he was never mean to me because I was Dumbledore's neice and we used to hang out all the time when we were about 5-11 years old. Then, he went off to Hogwarts and I barely ever saw him 7th year.

"Hey Sev" I said using his old nickname.

"Why do you persist on annoying me?" He said.

"Hey! No need to get all defensive, why are you here, at Hogwarts?" I asked him.

"What are you talking about? I have been working here as the potions teacher ever since 7th year graduation.." he told me.

"Oh..i'm sorry, I don't recall seeing you here at all though.." "That's because I'm always in the dungeons.." he said to me and began to walk away.

"Hey Sev?" I heard him sigh and turn around. "Yes, Isabella?" He said.

"Wait for me.." I said. He suddenly got a confused look on his face. "I'm coming with you..and by the way, you can stop glaring at me now..that doesn't work on me" I said. For the rest of the evening, Serverus and I worked on potions for Madam Pomfrey, and we started to talk about our pasts.

"Hey Sev, do you want to do something tomorrow...like fly?" I asked him. I was probably the one of the only people on the earth who knew of Serverus' love to fly. He looked at me as if I were mental

"Alright..I suposse. But, you have to help me on with the rest of the potions..deal?" From that day on for the next week or two Severus and I became unseperable. I had forgotten how much I loved making potions. I had felt a bit guilty for spending so much time with Sev, but I knew that him and I were only friends and would remain such.

One evening Serverus and I were woking on a wolfsbane potion,

"Where is your mutt of a husband?" He asked me.

"Sev that is not nice at all, so I'd appreciate it if you would not insult him.." I snapped at him.

"Well jeeeez, I'm sorry." He said, though I knew he didn't really mean it. After a few minutes of silence I heard Sev ask,

"So, really, where is he?"

"On a mission.." I said with a slight tone.

"What's your tone about?" He asked me.

"Nothing..I..it's just..nevermind.." I told him.

"You can tell me you know.."

"Are you sure?"

"Of course.."

"It's just that..well..alright, Sirius was in Azkaban for about 13 years, right?" I saw him nod his head.

"Well, I don't know, I just guess I miss him and I wish we got more time alone..nevermind." I told him.

"Are you saying you regret marrying him in the first place?"

"I never said that! Don't you dare twist my words around.." I yelled at him. For some reason I didn't want to admit to myself, but yes, I did feel that way sometimes.

"Don't get me wrong or anything, I love Sirius more than life itself, it's just so hard sometimes..." I continued. "It's just hard that's all..can we please be done with this topic now.." I asked him, tears running down my face. Without saying a word he came around the table and hugged me. This was the side I loved about Severus. No one else ever saw this side of him, his side where he was not sarcastic, he was kind and caring. I layed my head down on his chest and cried. I cried for my parents, Jamie, Lily and James, and Sirius.

"What are you doing with HIM Isabella?" I looked up to see Sirius standing in the doorway all red faced. I let go of Severus and faced Sirius.

"What are you talking about..why can't I hang out with a friend?" I asked him.

I saw Serverus smirking at Sirius out of the corner of my eye. "That's it.." Sirius said and punched Sev in the nose. They started fighting on the ground, physically, punches were being thrown this way and that way.

"Sirius...Serverus STOP!" I yelled. Both men were flung backwards against a wall.

"What were you thinking Sirius? Why did you attack him? All we were doing was making potions..." He looked away ashamed.

"Severus, can you please leave for a second..." He was about to argue "NOW!" I yelled and he walked out.

I turned to face Sirius. "Sirius, Sev. and I are friends, I've known him since I was 5 years old! Him and I are just friends..that is all!" I said and released him from the wall.

"I'm sorry Izzy, it's just Harry told me that you were with Serverus, and I got upset..and--" I went up to him and started kissing him.

"Why do you do that, first you yell at me, then you kiss me..your so confusing.." he said.

"Do you not want me to kiss you anymore?" I asked him teasingly.

"No, of course not!" he said in a rush. I smiled at him, and we both started talking about his adventure. He told me that he had to go with Remus to visit the vampires, and the werewolfs. They had to convince them to join Dumbledore's side. Apparently, it was able to work quite quickly.

"Remus said that he had it under control and I could leave." Sirius finished telling me. "And, so here I am.."

"Well...I'm glad." I told him.

"Isabella..why were you crying?" He asked me. For the next hour or so we stayed in Severus' lab just talking. It felt good to get it all out. Sirius understood and we made a pact that things would change from then on.
