Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter. Yet! Maybe someday I will!
Warnings: Slash. R. M-Preg.
Special Thanks To: Julie! My wonderful beta! Making my story easier to read for everyone!
Authors Note: Helloooo! I'm finally back. Sorry. I was on Christmas Vacation this week, but I got very little done. People kept me busy. Hmm… Anyway, here's a new chapter for you! Nothing life threatening, and a bit of a filler, but it's a chapter none the less! We're coming to the conclusion people! Yay! Read and Review!
P.S. To those who requested the deleted scene, I tried to send it to everyone. Some of the email addresses didn't show up. --;; So I hunted them down as best as I could. But even if you didn't get it, never fear! I'm moving my slash fiction to the silver snitch (the silver snitch . net –remove the spaces) and all of my fanfiction will be up on my own website pretty soon as well. Yay!
Oh, and before I forget, I'll do you the courtesy of repeating the last couple line of the last chapter! After all, its been a while since I've updated.
Previously...
There was silence again only for a moment before Harry sat up quickly and asked the question that had suddenly come to mind.
"Siri…how is that you have three kids?"
--
Chapter 11
Sirius looked at him blankly for a moment. "After you and your partner were 'dead' according to the Ministry of Magic, I adopted your partner's two kids because, after what they had been through, I knew they'd need someone."
Harry looked at Sirius expectantly. When it was clear that he wasn't about to add anything, Harry sighed and said, "That clears up why you have two kids, but what about the third?"
"Harry…are you saying you truly don't remember?" Sirius asked with tears shining in his eyes.
Harry wasn't sure how to respond to the question. Honestly, he had no idea about the third child. But if he said that, his answer was bound to hurt Sirius judging by the look he was giving him. Finally he sighed and shook his head.
As predicted, Sirius started crying. He'd been hoping from the start that when he saw Harry again, they could go home and be a family like they were always meant to be. But if Harry couldn't remember that he was a father, then Sirius had no idea what to tell him. Would he even accept it? Before Sirius had a chance to think of the numerous unfavorable outcomes, Harry's arms were wrapped tight around him.
"I'm sorry Siri…I can't remember though I want to," Harry said.
Sirius wrapped his arms around Harry in return. " I don't know how to put this, but… we have a son Harry. A beautiful boy called Darin."
"The youngest boy you introduced me to at you apartment?" Harry asked. "But…how? Men can't get pregnant…can they?"
"Yes, Harry. They can. I was. Until you get used to the magical world again, I'm not going into the details. It'll just make everything harder to believe. When we go home, I'll reintroduce you to the boys, this times as their dad. Wow Harry. Remus is going to flip!" Sirius said.
"Come what may, I'll be ready for it," Harry replied still trying to figure out how it was that his husband was pregnant at one time.

"Welcome back officially Harry. You still intend to be part of the war effort, correct?" Dumbledore asked.
"Of course. That damn prophesy tied me to Voldemort forever, and I'll be damned if I don't fulfill it in a way that will benefit my children," Harry said.
"Alright. We suspect that since your return, the conclusion of the war is coming. I'm sure Voldemort has heard of your return by now and will want to pick you off when you're 'at your weakest'," Dumbledore said.
"What do you mean?" Harry asked.
"You've not used magic in two years Harry. It'll take us a few weeks to get you back up to par on magic use. And as for how Voldemort would know, I've sent Severus to inform him," Dumbledore replied.
"Why?"
"It helps us in many ways Harry. For one, Lucius will be withdrawn from America. Now that we know he's been hiding there, Voldemort will have to bring him back, and thus we'll be able to put an end to Malfoy terrorism once and for all. Also, the information Severus will provide Voldemort with will increase his position within the inner circle and will provide him with more information, which in turn comes to us," Dumbledore explained. After Harry nodded, Dumbledore concluded the meeting with, "You're dismissed."
Harry left the office and made straight for the kitchen. As always, a delicious variation of scents assaulted his nose.
"So what was the meeting about?" Sirius asked with a lazy grin. Sirius had his legs crossed on top of the table with his arms loosely surrounding himself.
"You're beautiful," Harry said stopping in the doorway to imprint the image into his mind.
"I know I am, but that couldn't have been all your meeting was about," Sirius laughed.
Harry chuckled lightly. "You're right, but I could've filled a five minute meeting with talk of your gorgeous looks. But anyway, it was all the usual welcome back yammer about what Snape's doing and how the final battle is coming up," he said with a wave of his arm.
"Yippie. Well, sit down with me and eat. We have our own meeting to attend to," Sirius said.
Harry sat down and picked up a sandwich. "So, what's first on our to-do list?"
"First off, we need to retrieve our children and give Remus a break. There's only so long he can entertain them before they drive him nuts. We should probably do that as soon as we're done with lunch. But for now, we need to focus on two issues. One, are we going to live in England, or in America? And two, we're supposed to decide what we're going to say to your muggle friends," Sirius said.
Harry nodded. He thought briefly of what he could tell Brian. It pained him slightly to know he couldn't tell him the full truth. But that was why he wanted to talk it over with Sirius. "Where do you want to live Siri? I'd like to come back and live here personally because I want the life we were supposed to have. And it wouldn't feel right to stay there now that I know who I am."
"Yeah…America's nice and all, but this is my homeland," Sirius agreed. "So…what do think is safe to tell your muggle friends?"
"Friend. There's just Brian really. Do you think I could tell him everything? About me being a wizard? I want to and I know he wouldn't tell anyone?" Harry asked.
"You're Harry Potter. They wouldn't do anything about you doing something illegal. Especially now, because they need you. I say, do what you think is right. And if all else fails, obliviate him so he doesn't remember he ever had a friend named 'James'," Sirius said.
Harry smiled and kissed Sirius across the table. "Thanks, love."
"Anytime. When this whole things over, we'll be able to start that new life together we've always wanted. I promise."

A/N: What do you know? My story title has a purpose! And until this chapter, even I didn't really have a great plan for it. I'm infinitely bad at titles…usually I finish a story before I title them. Lol. Oh well. Thanks for reading, but don't forget to REVIEW!

Happypurplebunny- Thanks! I love Harry/Sirius! is kind of a bad side for posting htse type of ices…buts it's the best site as far as people know of it!
Tree potter- Thanks!
Sweet-single- Ooo! Really? THANKS!
Ancaline Nienna- Thanks!
Furvus lupus- Siri/Harry are the best! Lol. Yes, there is more, not too much if all goes as planned, but there's still more. And no, Voldemorts' still in power. Thanks!
Dm/hp slash lover- Thanks! Is my story really so addicting?

Eris Black-Lupin- Thanks! I've though of a LJ…but I'd prefer to just post on a site. Meaning I've now got an account at the silver snitch and I'll be posting my work there too as soon as I get the time. I don't like seeing stories all grouped up improperly and I prefer short chapters to work with. They're more fun and tend to mean more.
SlytherinGoddes10- Thanks! I'll have to look your stories up sometime. And…HP games can be frustrating! I still can't beat Sorcerer's Stone on Gameboy!
Allgoodfungall247- Thanks! Harry/Siri parings are great!
Sarah- Thanks! I'm glad its to your liking!
Miru Amai- I love writing this story! I don't think Harry would just jump to conclusions being that everyone thought he was dead for two years. Remember, he was dating during that time too. I'm so glad someone reads authors notes! Most people didn't and they don't know why Siri has three kids. Lol. Thanks much!
Orlin- Thanks!
Bri- Thanks!
Malfoy Menace- Thanks!
Quibird- Thanks!
2manystory- Thanks!
HPandSBbabe- Lol. I know that dominant Harry in Siri/Harry pairings doesn't usually happen, but I like trying new things. The last one of this pairing that I wrote has Siri as the 'dad'. Besides the fact that I'm a walking contradiction, the only way Harry and Sirius could have children of their own before Harry thought he was a muggle was if Siri was the 'mom'. Thus…my plotline. Thanks!
Reaka- Lol. HUNGARIANS! Thanks!
Doneril- Well you se…this story is an m-preg. Thus a guy may become pregnant in my twisted version of their world. I think Sirius will explain better than I do here. That and 2 out of 3 were adopted. Thanks!
Volleyball-setter- Thanks!
Stasha Malfoy- Continue being an idiot! You're entertaining! Yay for Siri/Harry! Thanks!

Xbrinax- Hello! You really liked it? Hey, at least someone thinks I'm talented. Lol. Happy belated birthday! And…well…I'm glad it was like a present to you! Lol. Things for me are great…unless you count school. That in itself is a mood killer. Thanks muchly!
