A/N : Skipping a little time here, simply because I am actually getting to more of a plot. I have already written a few more chapters. Love those plot faeries. They keep zapping me with inchanted storyline dust while I'm sleeping. Enjoy. R&R because I love knowing what you think.

The next few months passed quickly. Sirius was falling into a daily routine, getting back to the life he had lost. Several times Lily had screamed or cried in her sleep, and that same odd feeling hit him right before it happened every time. He was starting to think he needed to talk to her about it.
It was a bright night; the moonlight was spread through Lily's open window across the bed sheets like water. She lay on her stomach, tracing her fingers across the pattern it made on her pillow. Sleep was alluding her tonight, she was restless and nervous for some reason. It was a full moon tomorrow night; she'd have to take Remus his potion in the morning. It was late, she wanted desperately to clear her mind, to shut it down and let sleep overtake her. Closing her eyes, she rested her head against the pillow..and suddenly a wave of nausea hit her so hard she rolled onto her back and gripped her stomach. Another and another, and then a splitting pain through her head. She cried out, whimpering as she curled into a fetal position on her bed and rocked gently. After a few minutes it passed, but she felt bruised inside fromthe intense pain. What the hell? Staggering to the bathroom, she threw up, falling onto her knees beside the toilet. Pain shot through her joints, the cold tile floor unkind. She leaned against the bowl for a full two minutes before she heard something coming from another room. Sirius's room to be exact. He was sobbing...whispering. She crawled from the bathroom, thinking now in fear that someone was in the house..maybe it was a spell that made her so sick. She had to get to him, make sure he was alright. Lily finally pushed herself to her feet, and staggered across the hall to his room. No thought to knock, she pushed the door open to find him asleep, tossing and turning in wet sheets, wet from his sweat and tears it seemed. She leaned against the door, looking quickly around the room to see if they were alone. What was happening here? She crossed the room and collapsed beside his bed. He gripped the sheet, crying out again as he turned fitfully to his left side and opened his eyes. He was looking straight down at her, confusing in his gaze. Hers met him with equal frustration and question. He sat up, wiping a hand across his forehead, locks of curly hair sticking to his skin. "Lily..Lily what is it"
She was unable to speak, finally choking out barely audible words." I..I had this pain in my head. I threw up..and then I heard you. I thought..I thought someone was here..I thought I might lose you too." She was gripping the corner of his sheet rather tightly, and pressed forward on the bed, placing his hand over hers to relax her grip. Could it be?
"C'mere..c'mon up here with me sweetie." He pulled her off the floor to sit on his bed with him. Sitting up himself, he slipped an arm around her. "I think I need to tell you something"
He began to discuss the feelings he had felt the last month. Each time he had these surges of emotion, he usually discovered it happened at the same time she was either happy or sad or scared.
"Oh" was all she could say, making a funny face. "Oh! But this means...this means it goes both ways. Because...when I came in here, you were clearly having a rather vivid nightmare. I don't understand though." She began muttering to herself, something about spells and having to speak with Remus and so on and so on. Sirius grinned, she reminded him of Hermione just then, how her mind worked through things. "Yes well..I suppose we need to stop having so many damn bad dreams." He did not offer the content of his, it had been bloody and unpleasant. And he did not wish to relive it himself, let alone make her share in that misery. Instead, he pulled her closer, and laid down with her beside him. She did not protest, was confused and still kind of sick from the headache she had gotten. She sighed, leaning against him as she closed her eyes. It felt good to be close to her, close to someone again. He was so lonely, and had suffered so much.
She closed her eyes, breathe soon became even and shallow. He leaned up over her to see if she had fallen to sleep. She needed sleep; he felt how restless she was every night. Head back on his own pillow, he left his arm around her as he drifted off into his own dreamless sleep. Both slept better that night than they had in ages. and neither cried in the night.

Lily woke sometime before the sun had completely risen in the sky, feeling a warmth against her. It felt good, safe and comforting and she simply closed her eyes, drifting back to sleep with a smile on her lips.
Sirius woke as the sun hit his face with it's morning warmth. It took him a moment to realize he was not alone, and then the night before came back to him anew. He glanced to the sleeping girl in his arms, and felt a twinge of emotion. Remus had been right..she was good for him. She was family, the only family he had anymore. He slid closer still, burying his face against her long hair, inhaling the sweet tangerine smell of her perfume. He smiled, drifting back to sleep as well. The front door opened, and Remus Lupin poked his head inside. Lily had never come by with his potion, and he thought he should check up on her to be sure all was well. He listened for some sound of life, but only heard Kreacher muttering in the kitchen. He smirked, and stepped inside completely. No one was on the first floor, he grabbed the elf as it passed, questioning him. "Where are Sirius and Lily? You haven't been bad have you Kreacher?" The elf kicked him, and grumbled, spitting at him before it walked away muttering something about ' missus and master blood traitors' and huffed off to the attic. Remus was left as confused and concerned as he was when he entered the house. So he took the steps two at a time to the second floor, checking each room carefully. He got to Lily's room, knocking before he opened it to find her bed empty and her window open. Now he began to panic. Running across to Sirius's room, he threw the door open...and found them both still asleep in each others arms. He stood there with his mouth hanging open and his hand still on the door.
After the initial shock wore off, he moved carefully across the room, and tapped Sirius until he woke. Sleepily looking up at him, Sirius grinned and said "Is it time for breakfast already Moony?" The scowl he got was enough to make him wake the rest of the way. Looking to Lily, then Remus, he realized what his old friend must think.
"Hey wait, no it's not like how it looks. Shh lets go downstairs." He carefully pulled his arm from under her, and they left her to go elsewhere.
"That was unexpected Padfoot...really now. You could be her father. Or her really old creepy uncle." Remus laughed, and Sirius relaxed a bit, popping his friend on the back of the head.
"She feels my emotions. I had a dream last night, and I caused her pain. Tangible physical pain." Sirius proceeded to tell Remus everything from the previous night, and when he was done, Remus just laughed. "Yeah I had a feeling something like this might happen. Most spells involving the return of a dead person usually have some lasting residual effect on the caster as well. Just means you two now share a deep bond"
Sirius smirked. " I could think of a worse person to be connected with"
He told Remus how well he slept with her in his arms, and Moony rolled his eyes. "I told you she'd be good for you. Just remember how much older you are than her. She is young and naive. Don't take advantage." Chiding him, Remus sat back and sighed.
"It's not like that...you should know me better than that Moony. She is special I think...I think I'm falling in love with her"
"Who's falling in love with whom now?" From behind them, Lily spoke, coming down the last few steps with a sleepy grin. She was still confused how she woke up in Sirius's bed, but then figured he must have let her sleep there after she got sick. She flopped down on the couch between the two men, and smiled at them. "And why are you here so early Prof...Remus"
Remus shot a funny look at Sirius, who cleared his throat and sputtered out a stupid sounding explanation. "Erm well Moony here was just talking about some little chippie he saw at Diagon Alley, just having a spot of fun you know? Old men like us haha." Remus' brow had arched substantially, and he thought this whole explanation was absolutely preposterous, but Lily just shook her head and grinned at Remus. "Old dog you...well actually wolf but..you get my meaning." She gave him a playful nudge in the hip and stood back up. "And will you be staying for breakfast...oh actually, from the time on the clock I guess it's lunch. Why didn't you wake me Sirius?" He didn't bother to mention he only woke a brief while ago, just shrugging stupidly instead.
