Chapter 5: Weekend Together

Sirius was three months pregnant now, his morning sickness was starting to subside a little bit and he was feeling much better in himself now than he had in the last couple of months. But his happiness right now was probably due to the fact that Lucius was spending the weekend with him at his and James's apartment, while James was away for a few days.

When Sirius awoke on Saturday it was nearly one in the afternoon, which was a bit surprising for him because he had not slept right throughout the night since he had found out he was pregnant. But then his long sleep could have had something to do with how content he had felt with spending the night in the arms of his baby's father, Lucius. Also, the fact that morning sickness had not woken him up earlier significantly brightened his so far short day. The teenager forced himself to get up, he tugged on some loose clothes (which were very unlike his old custom, which were cling-to-your-arse type jeans and tight tops), after he was dressed he headed slowly out of his bedroom, arms folded protectively over his stomach. He could smell something cooking so he headed straight for the kitchen where he found Lucius, doing something he had never thought the blond capable of, making lunch. "I didn't know you could cook."

"You never asked."

"Since when?"

"I used to hang around with the house-elves when I was little," replied Lucius, when his statement was met with silence he glanced over his shoulder to see a worried look on Sirius's face. "What, you think I've been an asshole my entire life?"

"For the most part."

Lucius smirked, "Love you too," Sirius gave him a cheeky smile. "I thought I would be nice, seeing as it is my child you're carrying, and I haven't really been here much."

Sirius went over to Lucius and draped his arms around the blond's neck, he gazed into the unusually warm silvery eyes, "You're not feeling guilty, are you?" he teased.

Lucius kissed the younger man lightly on the lips, "I'm not, actually, but I would much prefer being in your hormonally imbalanced company than Narcissa's." Sirius huffed. Lucius lowered his head and trailed little kisses up Sirius's pale neck to try and remove the scowl from the gorgeous face, once he got to Sirius's ear, he nibbled the lobe for a few moments causing a quiet whimper to escape the younger man's mouth. "I'm kidding. I do feel guilty that I can't always be here to help you through this, but I will try."

"I know," replied Sirius quietly, he really didn't want to move at the moment. It felt good being held by his lover, despite the fact that they were still standing. "It still gets a bit lonely though, if James isn't here and you don't come around."

Lucius frowned a little; "You've never said that before."

Sirius pulled away from the blond and sat down at the kitchen table, "Didn't think it was important."

"Of course its important, Sirius," said Lucius, he pulled a chair over to where Sirius was and sat down. "You shouldn't be on your own right now."

"Why not?"

Lucius sighed, "You're pregnant. What if something happened to you when no one is around? What if something happened to the baby?" Sirius was pouting now. "What if our families found out and turn up when you're seven months pregnant or something?"

"I am not a child," grumbled Sirius, folding his arms over his stomach again. "I can look after myself."

"I mean it, Sirius, you can't be here all on your own all the time," continued Lucius. Sirius had brought this up so he felt the need to finish it, that and he was feeling overly protective of the eighteen year old right now, but he figured that was just the natural instinct when you had a child on the way with someone that you loved. "I know you are capable of looking after yourself, but you can't get into fights or duels while you're pregnant, surely you know that."

Sirius stood up, "I shouldn't have said anything." He turned to leave hearing Lucius heave a deep sigh behind him.

"Siri…"

Sirius stopped in the doorway, it wasn't often that Lucius used that pet name, especially when they were having a serious discussion much like this one. He didn't turn back to Lucius but he heard a chair scraping across the ground and then he felt strong arms sliding around his slim waist.

"If I can't always be here for you, I at least want to be sure in myself that you're safe," said Lucius quietly into one of Sirius's ears, he placed his hands on the small bump that was starting to form on the dark haired man's abdomen. "I don't know what I would do if those bastards hurt you, I'd even be willing to go to Dumbledore to get you more protection than I can give."

"You must really be serious to go against your own mind like that."

Lucius pressed a kiss to the back of Sirius's head, "Of course I'm serious about this. I have my priorities sorted out now, I don't know what I'd do if you and the baby were harmed, or killed even."

Sirius smiled a little, "My god, Lucius, you're going to start scaring people if you keep this nice act up." He heard Lucius give a snort of amusement. Sirius turned around so that he could see the blond aristocrat's flawless face. "I do appreciate it though. Other than my friends, you're the only person that's ever cared this much about me."

Lucius smiled slightly, it was rare a thing for him to give a genuine smile, usually it was a smirk or a sneer or something. "Your family don't know what they're missing out on. Anyway, you're too perfect not to care this much about."

Sirius pressed a kiss to the parted lips of his lover, "You are so much better at this cheering up thing now, you know that?"

"Of course I knew that."

"Arrogant git."

Lucius quirked his eyebrows before disentangling himself from Sirius's grip to tend to the lunch that was starting to become a bit over cooked, "You know you love it."

"Very much," Sirius gazed at the blond's back for a few moments before speaking again. This was something he had been curious about for some time now. "Would you ever consider marriage?"

"I have remember? One of the worst mistakes of my life."

Sirius chewed his bottom lip, "To me, I mean."

Lucius stopped dead with what he was doing, he turned around to face Sirius with an unreadable expression on his face.

TBC…
