If You're Not The One

Chapter Eighteen: One More Makes Three

-----------------------------------------

He was pregnant with Sirius' baby, and he wanted to keep it. But would Sirius? They were young... they knew very little about being parents. There were so many reasons why they shouldn't have a baby. None of that mattered to Remus, but would it matter to Sirius?

A cold feeling rushed through Remus as bad thoughts about Sirius' reaction to the news surged through his mind. What would Sirius think? Would he want this baby? Would he still want to be with him? Would he want no part of it? His thoughts did not go any further than that as he heard his name being called.

"Lupin! Out of my way!" Lucius demanded as he pushed passed the shocked teen, and into the Hospital Wing with Snape coming up behind him.

"Come to see yer friends' handiwork?" Severus sneered as he looked down his nose at Remus.

"What're you talking about?" Remus asked confused.

"Yer boyfriend and that stuck up Potter!" Severus said with obvious loathing.

"Whatever they did to Malfoy I'm sure he deserved!" Remus growled defensively.

"You would think that you filthy little half-breed!" Severus spat, his voice dripping with disdain.

Remus wasn't entirely sure why, but at those words tears filled his eyes and started streaming down his face before he could stop them. He turned and started to run back to Gryffindor Tower, but not before Snape noticed the tears and smiled with satisfaction.

Remus ran all the way without stopping, even though his sobbing was making it hard for him to breathe. He had to say the password several times as his sobbing obscured what he was saying. He scrambled through the portrait hole and headed for his bed, but didn't quite make it there unseen. Sirius, James, Peter and Lily had been waiting for him to get back from Madame Pomfrey's.

"Remy?" Sirius called as he saw his boyfriend rush up to their dorm with tears streaming down his face.

A tight knot twisted in the pit of Sirius' stomach. Was what Madame Pomfrey said the reason he was crying? What if she had told him it was something awful? What if it was something serious? Sirius looked at the others, fear and worry were plastered on all their faces.

"Let me go," he said before going after Remus.

Sirius quietly walked into their dorm, and heard Remus crying quietly behind his curtains. He approached his boyfriend's bed, and slowly pulled aside the curtain to see Remus curled into a ball his hands gripping his pillow as his tears soaked it.

"Oh Remy..." Sirius whispered sadly, his heart aching to know his boyfriend was hurting. "What happened?"

The only reply he got were inaudible sounds, but since he manged to get one he figured Remus wanted to talk about it so he climbed into bed with Remus and pulled him into his arms. The crying teen too hurt to protest fell into Sirius' arms easily and continued to cry endlessly onto his shoulder.

Knowing he wouldn't be able to get anything out of the crying teen Sirius just allowed him to cry. He just lay there with him in his arms, and rubbing his back until slowly Remus began to calm down. When Remus' crying came down to muffled whimpers Sirius decided to try again.

"What's wrong Moony? Why are you crying?" he asked the worry evident in his voice. "Did Madame Pomfrey tell you something bad?

"Severus..." Remus abruptly started crying again.

"Snivellus? What he'd do to you?" Sirius demanded, anger rising at the mention of the greasy haired Slytherin.

"C-called me..." Remus had to take several shaky breaths to calm his crying. "Filthy half-breed."

"Why that ugly git!" Sirius growled angrily. "I can't believe he did that!"

Sirius didn't want to seem unsympathetic to his boyfriend so he didn't point out that Snape had called him that several times before and it hadn't affected him that way before, but maybe he had said it one too many times. Not that Sirius didn't get angry every time Snape called his boyfriend that he just thought Remus had gotten used to it by now. It made him even angrier to know that Snivellus had made his Remus cry. He would not stand for that!

Sirius, however, didn't let his anger overcome him. Instead he held Remus and told him that everything would be alright, and not to listen to such an ugly git who didn't know what he was talking about. He continued to say soothing things until Remus finally calmed down, with only a few sniffles here and there.

"Thanks Siri," he whispered as he snuggled close to his boyfriend.

"Anytime Love... anytime," Sirius whispered back as he rubbed Remus' back soothingly.

"I don't know why I let him get to me..."

"Don't worry about him. He'll get what's coming to him," he promised.

"Now Siri... don't go doing anything stupid," Remus warned.

"No worries Moony, no worries," Sirius said, knowing very well that they both knew he was planning on getting Snape back. "So what did Pomfrey say anyway?"

At the mention of Madame Pomfrey all of Remus' worries came flooding back and he burst into tears once more. This confused Sirius. He wasn't sure Remus was crying because of what Snape had said or because of something the mediwitch said. Either way Remus was not fit to talk once again so he let him cry himself to sleep. When Remus was sleeping peacefully Sirius quietly slid out of the bed and headed back down to the common room where his friends were dozing in their seats.

"So what did Pomfrey say?" James asked jerking awake when he caught sight of Sirius coming to the fireside.

"I don't know..." Sirius said shrugging.

"Then why-?"

"Snivellus got to him," Sirius interrupted, his anger beginning to simmer again.

"What'd that ugly git do to him?" James asked his anger starting to rise to the surface.

Sirius recounted for James, Peter and Lily what Snape had said to make their friend cry. James and Peter automatically wanted to get Snape back, so Lily left them to it as it was getting late and she still had homework to do.

------------------

Late into the night Remus awoke in Sirius' arms to a feeling he very much disliked. A sudden lurch of his stomach made him break free of Sirius' comforting hold and bolt for the bathroom where he emptied his stomach. When his heaving finally ceased he pulled himself up off the floor and moved to the sink where he quickly washed up.

He looked at himself in the mirror and cursed himself on how crummy he looked, and began to curse the ailment that was making him sick when he stopped himself. He had no ailment. He was going to have a baby. Sirius' baby. Stepping back from the mirror Remus placed a hand on his stomach and tried to picture the growing baby inside him.

"One more makes three..." Remus whispered to himself.

It had surprised Remus how quickly he had made the decision to keep the child, but he knew in his heart that's what he wanted. It just felt right. Even as other worries about having a baby started to appear in his mine Remus forced them away. He only wanted to think about the miracle growing inside of him.

"Remy...?" a sleepy Sirius murmured from the doorway, breaking Remus out of his reverie. "You okay?"

"Yeah..." Remus replied quietly, dropping his hand from his stomach.

Sirius walked into the room and wrapped his arms protectively around Remus, hugging him close. He whispered for Remus to come back to bed, tempting him with a tummy rub. The suggestion made Remus' mind reel into action. As Sirius led him back to bed Remus brooded. How on earth was he going to tell Sirius he was pregnant? He knew he had to tell him, and as he thought these things he drifted off to sleep still feeling Sirius' skilled hands gently gliding over his abdomen.
