Chapter 18:

(Isabella's POV)

It had been a week now since Peter had been captured. Sirius got an apology from the Minister of Magic, and was offered a job as an auror once again. Sirius took the job, and him and I were able to once again move into our old house. The baby was due any day now, Sirius and I were so very excited. We had completely refurnished the house. Remus had continued to see Melissa. I laughed when I thought back to what had happened last week when Victoria had run into Melissa and Remus on a date

flash "Melissa..I have something for you.." Remus said. He walked around the side of Melissa and placed a beautiful necklace around her neck. She smiled at him and they kissed.

"Ahem.." They both turned towards the noise and saw a lady standing there.

"Remus..darling...I tried owling you, but you never returned my message...we were supossed to meet today I believe.." she said walking towards him and placing a small kiss upon his cheek. Remus instantly pushed her away.

"Victoria, we already talked about this..we are over..." he said to her.

"Remus..please just let's go.." she said and grabbed his hand.

"Excuse me.." Melissa said and came between the two.

"Hello..I'm Melissa..and you are?" she said.

"Victoria..Remus' girlfriend.." she said and then let out a little haughty laugh.

"Really?" Melissa said. Now, Melissa probably should have gotten mad at Remus at this point, but Sirius and I had told her in private about the whole money thing. Let's just say, Melissa was NOT at all very happy.

"Are you sure? Because i'm pretty sure I am Remus' girlfriend.." she said and walked up to Remus and kissed him as passionately as she could. All of the sudden Melissa was knocked backwards,

"Oh, I don't think so..I tried so hard to make this work, you are not going to stand in my way..." Victoria whispered in Melissa's ear with a sinister voice. Remus came and helped her up, pushing Victoria out of the way.

"Remus..your going to choose her huh? Fine..my father will hear about this..oh, and Melissa, don't forget that I always get what I want..." she said and apparated away. Melissa ended up forgiving Remus for him himself not telling her about Victoria, but that is was now a thing of the past. flash

Remus and Melissa hadn't heard from Victoria in a week, so all was well for the moment at least. Remus was thinking of proposing to her tonight. He was very very nervous though, so he was using me as practice.

"Melissa..when I first met you in Hogwarts, I remember thinking that you and I would be together forever..and--" Remus was down on one knee, being very serious. I on the other hand was trying not to start laughing hysterically. I glanced up and saw Sirius walk in, he looked at Remus on one knee 'proposing' to me, stared at the two of us for a moment, and then just shook his head and started muttering about crazy friends as he walked into the other room.

"Isabella, are you even listening to anything I am saying?" Remus asked me. I burst out laughing.

"I'm sorry Remus..I'll be more serious this time..try again..." I said sincerly.

"Alright..Melissa..when I first met you in Hogwarts, I remember meeting you for the first time at Hogwarts, I wanted to become best friends with you, and I wanted to grow old with you..you were perfect...you always accepted me for who I am, and I love your personality..Melissa, I would be the most happiest man in the world if you would do me the honor of becoming my wife..." He said and glanced up at me as if awaiting what I had to say.

"It was very very sweet Remus..does she know about you and your..ummm 'specialness' though?" I asked him. I was refering to the fact that he is a werewolf. A werewolf was not easily excepted in the wizarding world. If it was not for Dumbledore, he probably would not have a job right now.

"No.." he mumbled sheepishly. If Melissa was to marry him, their kids and family would be looked down on and frowned upon by the older wizarding families. I was afraid for Remus, if Melissa turned him down, it would break his heart. He needed to tell her, and very soon as well. Later that night Sirius was helping Remus by giving him a last minute 'man to man talk' as he put it. Remus grabbed the ring, looked in the mirror one last time, and apparated away.

About an hour after Remus left, Sirius and I were cuddled in front of the fire on a couch. He was reading a book to me and the baby. All of the sudden we heard a pop we both glanced over the couch and saw Remus standing there. He looked very upset.

"Remus..mate, what's the matter?" Sirius said to him. I noticed the tears on his cheeks.

"Oh no.." I whispered. "Remus..please sit down..and tell us what went wrong. Is it too late to fix it?" I asked him. I looked at Sirius and mouthed, "go get some tea or something.." and Sirius walked into the kitchen.

"Remus.." I asked him. "Please tell me.." He looked at me, the sadness in his eyes was almost unbareable.

"Melissa.." he croaked. "Melissa and I were having dinner..." he started sniffling. Sirius came into the room and handed him a cup of tea.

"Continue please Moony.." Sirius said to him. "We were having dinner, and everything was going great...I got on one knee and just as I was about to propose to her.." He stopped talking.

"Go on.." I said to him.

"Victoria appeared..she looked at me and yelled out "Melissa you are making a big mistake..he's a werewolf..your kids will be scarred for life..even though Remus just inherited some money, it can't last forever, and you'll go poor. Oh yea..i'm sure you dad would not be too please with you marrying a werewolf.." Remus told us. I gasped, poor Remus.

"What did Melissa say?" Sirius asked him.

"Well..everybody around us went berserk and Melissa and I were asked to leave. Once we were outside I tried talking to her, but she said that she needed some time..and..." He started crying. Poor Remus.. I thought. A while later, Sirius gave Remus some dreamless sleep potion and made him go to bed.

"I can't believe her..she's such a horrible person.." I said to Sirius about Victoria.

"I know.." he said and we layed back down on the couch together. We decided to let Remus sleep in the bedroom tonight, he was in no state to be left alone by himself.
