Eleonora1: Um…I am incredibly against Peter, for obvious reasons, so I will not be making him a big part of this story, and I especially think that Remus and Regulus deserve better than him. But he will still make an appearance…maybe…

Lizzie24: Yes I did try to write Nasty!Lucius in this fic, but it didn't work. I think its working a whole lot better in Malfoy Misfortune.

im no muggle: No.

By the way, Rem's love life at the moment, I haven't decided whom I'm putting him with.

Chapter 4: Man Hunt Success

Lucius didn't return the night Sirius had told him about his pregnancy, which upset the young man quite a lot, to be honest. James and Remus also didn't return late that night or early the next morning. But despite that let down, Sirius was cheered up a little by the letter he got off his lover late the next morning.

Padfoot

I am truly sorry that I did not return last night. I would have, but when I got back to the manor Narcissa decided to interrogate me again, and you know how hard it is to shake her off and get away. Anyway, I am owling, not just to apologise, but to arrange a time when I can see you again. Are you free this coming Wednesday night? Owl me back with your reply, and I will come and get you that night.

Sorry this letter can not be longer; I am having Sunday lunch with the in-laws. Unfortunately.

Honestly yours,

Lucius

Sirius smiled and rubbed his eyes; he was incredibly tired for somebody that slept throughout the night. He gazed at the letter thoughtfully, with not having a job of any sort anymore; he was perfectly free to see Lucius on Wednesday night. Just as he summoned a quill and ink to him so he could reply, the door to the apartment opened and James and Remus came stumbling in laughing. "I thought I gave you a curfew, Mr Potter?"

James snorted and flobbed down on the couch, "Ha ha, Pads, you're hilarious."

Sirius smirked, "I know I am. Have fun?"

Remus flopped down in the other arm chair, "Oh yes we did, but some more than others." He cast a sly glance towards James.

"Oh yeah?"

James grinned, "Oh yes." Sirius raised his eyebrows curiously. "We bumped into an old school friend last night-"

"It was Severus," said Remus, cutting his friend off. "He and James got on quite well actually, despite everything that's transpired between them."

Sirius raised his eyebrows, his letter from Lucius still in hand, "You shagged him didn't you?"

"No," James shook his head. "I haven't slept with a man yet. But I will be seeing him again, unless of course he realises who he was snogging after he sobers up…"

"Always a problem," agreed Sirius, "Did you pick anyone up, Moony?"

Remus sighed and shook his head, "Not this time, but then I was scouting them out for Prongsie."

"Don't call me Prongsie."

Remus smiled, "And what did you do last night without our precious company?"

Sirius put his feet on the coffee table and folded his arms over his stomach; "Lucius turned up not long after you two left."

"Did you tell him?"

Sirius nodded, "Yes, I did."

"And?"

"He took it a lot better than I thought he would," replied Sirius, "He didn't yell or dump me or anything. He even said he'd try and be around for me. And Jay, be warned, he expects you to look after me as well."

"I said I would, didn't I?"

Remus smiled, "And I will too if he Stag boy gets too annoying."

"Thanks," Sirius was about to say something else when he heaved. He quickly jumped up, his hand over his mouth, and he sprinted to the bathroom.

"Do you want to hold his hair back, or should I?" asked James looking over at his lycanthropic friend.

Remus was about to answer when they heard the toilet flush, "Looks like he's finished already," Sirius came back out of the bathroom looking a bit paler and more miserable. "Are you all right?"

Sirius fell back into his armchair and curled up, "Yeah…morning sickness sucks…"

James looked at his watch; "It's nearly lunchtime."

Sirius rested his head against the back of his armchair and closed his eyes, "It doesn't have to happen just in the morning, you know?"

"What do you mean you 'saw him go to my cousin's apartment'?" questioned Narcissa Malfoy shrilly to the cowering man in front of her.

"Y-you asked me t-to follow him, and I did," replied the man, "And that's where he went. He was there for a while and then I saw him leave."

"Wonderful," muttered Narcissa sarcastically. The man she had found to follow her husband when he went off to meet his lover had just informed her that Lucius was disappearing at night to visit her cousin, Sirius. The outcast of the Black family. It wasn't just that that shocked her, it was the fact that her husband was sneaking off to meet up with another man. "You better not be lying to me."

"I'm not."

Narcissa frowned slightly, "Has my cousin ever mentioned who he was seeing to you?"

The man shook his head, "Not to me anyway, h-he has probably told Remus and James, though."

"Thought so," Narcissa sighed. "Get out of here, Peter, before Lucius reappears."

Peter Pettigrew nodded nervously and left the room, leaving Narcissa to glare at the wedding picture of her and Lucius.

……

"Up for some dinner, Pads?" asked James. Remus had left a while ago to go home and get some sleep after their night out, and James had gotten a few hours of sleep after lunch. It was no dinnertime and Sirius was curled up under a blanket on the couch gazing miserably at their television.

Sirius shook his head, "No, I don't think I could stomach it."

"If you're sure," James put a hand to Sirius' forehead and he got a grumble in reply. "I'm just making sure you don't have a fever or anything."

"I'm pregnant, not ill," replied Sirius, "Nice to know you care though."

James smirked and headed to the kitchen, "Mum would kill me if she thought I wasn't looking after you properly, so would Lucius, I am sure."

"That's true."

James went about making his dinner in the kitchen as he continued talking to Sirius, "So, when are you seeing Lucius again?"

Sirius frowned a little, "Why the sudden interest in my love life?"

James sighed, "I'm just curious. I mean its obviously a serious thing with Lucius, now that you're carrying his kid and all…" Sirius grinned, he could tell James was having trouble with trying to justify his curiosity. "And anyway, I'm your best mate, it's my job to know about your love life."

Sirius laughed quietly, he was certainly starting to feel better, though he always did when he was in James' company. They could talk or laugh about anything, or they could sit at night in companionable silence. "Yeah, yeah. You just want to know what he's like in bed."

"You've told me," replied James, he came back out of the kitchen with a bowl of something and a bottle of beer. "Anyway, I'm going to need to know these things if I'm going to start going after blokes."

Sirius forced himself to sit up a bit, "Well, I'm sure I could give you a few pointers. Mind you, if you want tips on dominating another bloke then you'll have to find someone else, or ask Lucius."

"I'm sure I could," James smirked, "Mind you, if this thing with Severus goes any further, I'll only need pointers for being on the bottom…judging by how in control he wanted to be last night."

"He was a Slytherin, I think they're all like that," said Sirius thoughtfully. "Watch he don't knock you up."

"Oh I'll make sure I don't have to go through that, don't you worry."
