To tell you the truth I just have been WAY too lazy to write the next chapter up… grinssheepishly
satin insanity- well…
Tomiko the Muse- I grow tired of Remus getting pregnant and also I love drama!
EsScaper- as always, thank you!
asd- and 2+24
KicKstand- aww..you are so sweet! Chapter 3-Remus sat stroking Sirius' long black hair absently. The latter was lying immobile looking at the wall with blank eyes. Remus closed his eyes struggling against the tears. He had to be strong for Sirius he just had to be. The door to the room opened and Healer Thomas walked in followed by a woman.
Lily and James who had been sitting in the corner stood up and walked closer to where the bed was. Healer Thomas nodded slightly to the woman, who came near Sirius. Remus didn't understand what was going on until she had buckled one of Sirius' wrists to the rails on the bed. Now he knew why they used muggle stretchers.
Lily, who was known not to blow up in extremely emotional cases, walked briskly towards the woman.
"What the bloody hell do you think you are doing!"
James laid a hand on Remus' shoulder. Remus looked around confused a tear making its way down his cheek.
The woman looked at Lily calmly. "My name is Healer Morris and I am a-.."
"I know damn right what you are," Lily interrupted angrily, " I asked what you were doing in here? Sirius isn't mental!"
Remus gasped out, "Mental?"
They all looked at Remus for a moment and James squeezed Remus' shoulder.
Healer Morris looked directly at Remus.
"Mr. Lupin, I presume," She said and at Remus' nod she continued, "I am a mind healer Mr. Lupin and your husband is clearly emotionally unstable. It is important we take him soon or this behavior might soon lead to his suicide."
Remus let out a dry sob. "Not Siri, he wouldn't do that..not Siri.."
Lily all but ran over to Remus and hugged him to her shoulder. She glared angrily at Healer Morris as James came forward to put his say in it.
"Now listen here," James said heatedly, "This couple, our best friends have just lost their first child and you come waltzing in here talking about Remus' husband committing suicide!"
Healer Morris watched them all for a few moments before signaling to Healer Thomas. The latter moved the crowd away from the bed and started to wheel Sirius out. At that exact moment Remus broke away and went to the side of the bed.
"Sirius..Siri, please. Stop doing this, "Remus wailed, " Sirius I love you."
James, reluctantly pulled Remus away and the two Healers left the room wheeling Sirius out of sight. He looked at Lily who was silently seething. He pulled her into a quick embrace and a kiss then nodded at Remus. Lily's wrath quickly died out as she watched Remus, who was kneeling on the floor nearly hysterical.
Between the two of them, but mostly James they got the werewolf up and disapparated fro the hospital burdened with many dreamless sleep potions and claming droughts.
As soon as Remus was settled down James went into the kitchen. Lily a bit concerned followed. James was sitting at the table head in his hands.
"James?" Lily said softly running her hand through his unruly black hair.
She kissed the back of his neck and he sat up straight looking straight into her brilliant green eyes. His eyes were slightly watery as he stood up and took Lily in his arms.
"It's not fair Lily, dear." James said his voice cracking.
"I know, James. I know, but these things happen and all we can do now is help Remus and Sirius to get through it."
Lily smiled a bit as she looked into James' face. Her smiled faltered as she suddenly realized what the main problem was.
"Oh James, nothing is going to happen to our baby. Everything is going to just fine," She said soothingly.
James nodded biting the inside of his lower lip. Lily shook her head and smiled slightly.
"What happened to Mr. Tough Guy, Potter?"
James gave a smile. "He left the day I married you, Evans."
They shared a long kiss before checking on Remus, who was peacefully sleeping thanks to the potions.
As the sky turned dark they settled themselves down. James lay awake holding the sleeping Lily. He didn't if he was prepared for the hardships that were to come next.
That's the end of this chapter..hopefully I won't take so long for the next one!
