Ooo, look at that! I updated when I said I would! Yay! And thanks to all who reviewed! By the way, Romulus isn't all 'perfect' and what not, he has his faults. That tattoo he has, for one I just thought it'd be cool to give him one, and second…you'll just have to find out that later, ok?

Ejje: This chapter deals mainly in the past, and because all of you are smart enough to have realized that, yes, Sirius is the other parent then we will have no problem. If you didn't well, just be happy I told you this so you won't get confused.

Cal: Review when you're done please! Two or no new chappie! And M.E. Owns nothing but Romulus…yadda yadda yadda…

And DD, you were very close with the guess, so you get half a cookie! Oh, chapter contains mentions of m-preg, so if you no like then I'm sorry! It needs to be here for plot purposes.

Chapter five- Lonely

"Oh gods, why didn't I tell him before?" Remus gasped, breaking into long sobs. He placed his face into his eyes and cried, and at that moment he felt lonelier than he'd ever felt before.

Sirius was gone, and would never come back…

Remus looked up at the ceiling of the room he was staying in sadly. It had to be around one in the morning, but he just couldn't sleep. His mind just kept going over memories and what not. With a soft sigh he turned onto his side and nuzzled his head into the pillow lightly.

The day he found out Romulus was on his way was the main focus of his thoughts…

(15 years earlier)

Remus tapped his foot nervously on the tiled floor, glancing at the white painted door every so often. His long tawny brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail, and he wore simple robes that were just slightly worn out looking. His face seemed somewhat pale, and his eyes held an impatient look.

"Mr. Lupin?" He jumped to his feet as the Healer stepped through the door.

"Yes?" He asked hurriedly, and then took a deep breath to calm himself.

The Healer smiled at him and motioned him to follow her into the other room. Upon entering it he took a seat in a wooden chair and the Healer took the one across from him. Pulling out a wand, the Healer gently tapped on a piece of parchment and a list of medical things appeared. Having done this she looked back up at the werewolf.

"Mr. Lupin, I'm assuming you came here due to your perplexing ailments, correct?" She asked kindly.

Remus nodded. "Yes, I haven't been able to cure anything up with normal potions and a friend of mine suggested I see a professional."

The Mediwitch nodded and scribbled something down on the parchment with a quill that had somehow got into her hand. "Yes, well before I can tell you our suspicions, I need to ask a few, err, slightly personal questions."

"Um, ok." Remus replied, his foot beginning to tap on the floor again.

"You have Lycanthropy, correct?"

"Yes."

"Are in any sort of, um, relationship?"

The werewolf's face scrunched in confusion but he nodded all the same. "Yes, I am."

The witch scribbled something more down before Remus saw her sigh deeply, almost as if she were uncomfortable with the next question, and the werewolf was about to find out why. "Now, um, the person you are with, they wouldn't possibly be a man, would they?"

Remus blushed. "Um, well, err, yes, yes they would be. How is this relevant to my problems?"

"Well, you see…"The witch started, pulling out a rather large book from under her chair and flipping through it until it stopped on a page somewhere in the middle. "You, are, how do I put this, with child."

"I'M WHAT?" Remus yelled in shock, just barely resisting the urge to jump to his feet. "Impossible, I haven't used any conception potions!"

Sighing, the witch handed him the book and pointed to a paragraph. "Read please."

Remus did so, and the further he got the wider his eyes went. He looked back up to the Healer, and sputtered, "Werewolf males can carry children?"

Nodding she took the book back and shut it, placing it back under the chair. "Yes, it is a very rarely known fact, as many werewolves tend to, err, stick to the opposite gender. Also the circumstances have to be right and so forth. You, Mr. Lupin, are with child and I hope you come to accept it."

'Well, I certainly hope Sirius doesn't freak out too badly when I tell him…"

"Sirius! Sirius, where are you? I have something to tell you!" Remus called as he walked in the door of Sirius's and his apartment. Having no reply, he wandered into the living room to find no one there. It was the same with the rest of the house.

"Where is he?" Remus muttered to himself. It very odd for Sirius to be out so late, and there wasn't even a note or anything to tell him where he was. An hour went by and the werewolf started to get very worried.

There was a knock at the door and Remus jumped off the couch where he'd been sitting to answer it. A Ministry official was standing there, a grave expression on his face. Remus felt his chest tighten with fear. 'Oh my, I hope nothings happened to him!'

"Mr. Lupin, I need you to come with me please."

"What's happened?" The werewolf asked worriedly.

The man shook his head sadly. "Please, come with me, I can't tell you here."

Remus followed him, and that was the moment his life turned for the worst. The Potter's dead…Sirius a murderer…He was alone…

(Present)

Remus ended up crying himself to sleep, and even there he was plagued by nightmares.

"Sirius…"
