For the next few days, it seemed like their marriage was on the rocks already. Harry went about his business avoiding Sirius. He still did the washing and cooking for him as usual, but when they were in the same room, pretended he didn't exist.

Sirius felt grateful that Harry was still pregnant and couldn't do much to get away from him when he did try to talk to him. As three days became a week, he knew he had to sort it out soon because he could just see Harry was ready to walk out without a care in the world and if things it was like this once the twins were born, he would.

Two weeks after the 'incident', he walked into the bedroom to see Harry sitting at the table with a pencil in hand, something he hadn't seen in a while. He looked over his shoulder and saw he was sketching designs again.

"Why are you doing this again? I thought you gave up." He said and Harry paused before carrying on again, not looking up.

"I got a phone call yesterday and to cut a long story short, they rescheduled my meeting for today." Sirius knew getting angry wouldn't do anything but cause more tension and instead wrapped his arms around Harry's chest from behind.

"And what did they think of it?"

"They liked it. They've taken some designs and once I get a name for my label, they'll start making them and it'll be up in shops in a month." He said and Sirius, surprised that Harry didn't pull away from him, kissed his neck.

"That's wonderful, Love." He whispered into his ear. "I'm so proud of you."

"Help please." Harry said pleadingly and Sirius helped him out of the chair. He disappeared into the bathroom; slamming the door shut before Sirius could follow. Sirius sighed sadly and sat down in Harry's vacated seat. He skimmed through the many pages of notes, drawings and doodles. He had to admit they weren't half bad. He stopped on the bottom page, staring at it in horror.

It was a picture of him. His face down to every last detail. It must have taken Harry hours to do. But what scared him was the expression on his face, his eyes were piercing and his mouth looked like it would have been shouting had it been able to move. Was this what he really looked like when he got angry? Then it was no wonder everybody backed down before he lost his temper.

He wondered for a moment if this is what he had looked like right before he slapped Harry. He shuddered and the door opened. He put the papers back and stood up, making as though he'd been staring out the window at the rain. He couldn't help but curiously turn his head back to look at Harry. He was in a white silk bathrobe that had been specially fitted for his growing body and his hair was wrapped up in a similar white cotton towel. He quickly turned back to window, as Harry looked his way.

After a few moments, Harry walked up next to him and joined him in watching a young wizard about sixteen run across the yard, his arms shielding his head. He looked up at them and his eyes widened, his face filled with an expression of shock before he carried on running, disappearing from view.

"What do you think that was about?" He asked Sirius, who shrugged.

"I don't know, maybe he's never seen a guy staring out of the window with his pregnant husband before. A devilishly handsome pregnant husband at that." He said finally looking at Harry and catching his eye. A genuine smile Sirius hadn't seen in many months appeared on Harry's face and his eyes lit up. Sirius couldn't help but notice how much healthier he looked.

The towel over his head was gone and he must have dried his hair with a charm because it shone and hung down past his shoulders, despite his parents cutting it when he'd been 'kidnapped'. It no longer stood up everywhere and Sirius agreed with him that it looked better longer.

His body had filled out less than with Crosby, thanks to him watching his weight more carefully, but his skin still glowed with radiance. He'd been disgusted with what his body had looked like after the last pregnancy and after various 'comments' from his friends (if they could be called that), had been motivated to lose the extra kilograms.

He guessed he must have pretty much starved himself since that summer when Lily and James had been too busy at work to notice. It must have also somehow gone on when he was back at School and that was why it had been so hard to get him to eat properly after the move.

"Man?" I'm not quite sure at the current moment." Harry said blushing and Sirius didn't even bother to ask.

"I mean it," He said caressing his cheek. Harry stared back lovingly as his hand touched Sirius's. "You're more beautiful now than ever. I'm sorry about what happened, I guess I just lost it." Harry didn't push Sirius's hand off but his eyes narrowed in anger and he spoke in a dangerously soft voice.

"If you lay one finger on me or Crosby again, I will take him and you will never see either of us again, do I make myself clear?" Sirius gave a slow nod.

"What can I do to show you I will never do it again? So you'll forgive me, I mean."

"Just promise me you wont lose your temper like that again."

"Then promise me that if you take this job, you're not going to neglect our children for it. That they will come first." His free hand took Harry's.

"I promise." They said in unison and, heads turned and eyes closed, kissed passionately.

Sirius's hand moved and undid the bathrobe, it fell to the floor, leaving Harry stark naked at Sirius's will. He shivered in the cold air and Sirius took him in his arms, quickly losing his own clothing. Harry broke the kiss.

"Sirius, do you realise if that boy or anyone else comes past, we're on display for the world to see." He said and Sirius gave a bark like laugh, kissed him again and moved him onto the bed as easily as if he wasn't carrying two of their children in his heavily swollen tummy.

No matter how many times he looked, the way Harry's body was slowly changing throughout the pregnancy continued to both fascinate and turn him on. And this time was no exception.

"Well, I've certainly missed a lot over the past few weeks, haven't I?" He asked and Harry opened his eyes and blushed, his hands covering his chest. At least Sirius knew why he wasn't sure if he wasn't sure if he was man or woman at the moment.

Instead of being disgusted like Harry expected, this encouraged Sirius and he started planting kisses all over Harry's newly formed but still small breasts. "You know how much I loved it last time you had these. It's like fucking a man with the benefits of a woman." He said smirking and making Harry laugh.


The following morning Sirius shivered and tried to pull Harry closer but found his arms empty. He frowned and opened his eyes to find his husband nowhere in sight. He called out to him.

"In here." He said weakly from the bathroom and Sirius got up and stretched. He heard water running and Harry stuck his head around the door, his face pale.

"What's wrong?" Sirius asked as he walked back into the room.

"Nothing, just I bit of morning sickness." He said going into the cupboard and coming out doing up his robes.

"It's Saturday, eight in the morning and even Crosby's still asleep, so pray tell why are you getting dressed?" Sirius said exasperated.

"Well I was going to ask you to go, but since you want to sleep, never mind."

"Ask me to go where?"

"Healer's appointment." He said as he finished clipping up the robes. "And I'm going to need new robes soon." Sirius sat up and yawned, scratching the back of his neck.

"Fine, fine, I'm getting up." He said and Harry smiled before Sirius watched him walk to the cupboard to get his shoes. It was when he was coming back, trainers in hand, that Sirius noticed something strange but chose not to say anything not wanting his head bitten off.


They arrived at the healers and walked hand-in-hand to the reception table.

"Can I help you?" The curly haired man who had been filing his nails asked absentmindedly.

"Yeah, we're here for the nine o clock appointment under the name 'Black'." Sirius said and the man put the file down, typed something into the computer before picking up the file carrying on.

"Is there a problem?" Harry asked and got no answer. "Excuse me!" He said, slightly more annoyed.

"Don't take your hormonal mood swings out on me. I'm just doing my job. Go cry over some soppy movie or something." He said irritably and Sirius glared it him before taking Harry's hand and leading him behind the counter to the offices. The receptionist stopped them by pushing his chair in front of them.

"Sorry, no getting in without an appointment."

"We have a bloody fucking appointment!" Sirius shouted angrily at him. "We already told you!" At that moment a healer came out of his office, frowning at the commotion.

"What's going on here?" Sirius explained how he wouldn't let them in for their appointment. The healer checked the computer again.

"It seems we've overbooked, we can reschedule. Are you free in two weeks?" Sirius saw red and Harry squeezed his hand to calm him down.

"The point of the appointments is that they're every two weeks." He said through gritted teeth and the healer sighed.

"Fine, we'll move it to four this afternoon, is that ok for you?" Sirius gave a curt nod, wrapped an arm around Harry's waist and walked out.


"Do we have to go in there? Don't you want ice-cream or something?" Sirius whined.

"You already tried that one, come on, it's what we're here for. What's wrong with it, anyway?" Sirius gave off a groan.

"It's embarrassing to be seen in a maternity shop."

"Well it's embarrassing for me too, but unless I'm spending the next two and a half months naked, we've got to get over it." Harry then took his hand and started leading him to the shop.

"How could it be embarrassing for you?" He said scowling. "You're pregnant."


As Harry looked around at the robes, Sirius kept close to him, trying to find something interesting. He looked over to the corner of the shop and something caught his eye. He grinned and went over to it to investigate. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad after all...
Harry had picked out the robes he liked. He just had to decide between two of them. Looking for Sirius, he saw him approaching him with a twinkle in his eye.

"Having fun?" Sirius nodded and rubbed a smooth fabric across his cheek.

"Try this on." Harry laughed when he say what it was.

"You're kidding right?" Sirius shook his head. "I'll look ridiculous in this!" He protested.

"Of course you won't, look, just try it on." Sirius said and Harry went into the change room, emerging a few minutes later, to Sirius's disappointment, in normal robes.

"Aww, you didn't even tr-" The pile of robes shoved at him, cut him off.

"Go pay for that so we can go. Our appointment is in an hour." He said moodily and Sirius, learning from previous experience with Harry's emotional state, didn't argue but followed the instructions.


The picture swirled around in the air as both Harry and Sirius sat watching it, Sirius rubbing his hand across the taut skin of Harry's stomach. He was humming a tune softly, the expression on his face relaxed and flawless of the anger and worry of the past few months. The healer gave a cough to get their attention and Harry jumped. Strongly reminded of Umbridge, who had made his fifth year hell until Sirius had seen the cuts on his hand and had personally gone up to Hogwarts and hexed her till she couldn't remember her own name.

"Everything seems alright. Now your appointments will get more frequent as your due date gets closer, speaking of which, should be the fifteenth of March." Sirius was suddenly shaken out of his stupor.

"Fifteen March? They're supposed to be due the end of February." Sirius argued.

"Yes, well, twins are usually born early, as much as two months early, so you should start takin-" Sirius stopped him as he stood up, almost a foot taller than the healer.

"They're not due for March, it's not possible, you're wrong." He said, speaking for the second time today trough gritted teeth.

"I assure you sir they are. As for not possible, maybe your 'partner' hasn't been all truthful with you." This angered Sirius even more and he took a step forward. The healer hurriedly stepped back and fell back onto the tray of tools he'd been prodding Harry with moments before.

"Security!" He called out the door and turned back to Sirius's glare.

"Don't bother, we're leaving." He snarled and turned around, helping Harry up and hastily closing his robe while shielding him from the healer. They left hurriedly, Harry trying his best to keep up while hiding his face in shame from his husband's actions.


Sirius desperately scribbled down figures and notes on a piece of parchment. The healer's words were still playing in his mind and though unlikely, it was possible he wasn't even the father. He knew how Harry had gotten around in his seventh year. Who didn't know it? They had flocked to him like bees to honey and he had been prove to flaunt it and tell Peter, Remus and him how he had the power to prematurely age his parents. (When asked to explain, he had stated the between Lily and James, he had collectively turned six hairs grey.)

He was determined to prove he was the father. He had to be. It would not only break his heart, but also his ego if his children came out looking like Snivellous or Malfoy.

Through his concentration and panic, he failed to notice Harry poke his head round the bathroom door and walk out in the same bathrobe as the night before, holding it closed around his body. He settled himself on the bed and Sirius's head snapped around before shoving a still and parchment at him.

"I've worked out all the days they could have been conceived between."

"Sirius, if I even had a reason to think they weren't yours, I wouldn't have told you I was pregnant. Why are you worrying?"

"Just write down all the guys you were shagging between those dates." Harry sighed in defeat and looked down at the dates. A moment of silence followed.

"Did you ever, you know, doubt that it was mine?" Sirius asked him quietly.

"At first. I mean, even after working out that it could only be yours, it still took me two more weeks to be able to tell you."

"Why?"

"Because I thought that you might decide that I did it on purpose or that you didn't want to be trapped in a relationship with another child and decide to stay with Remus in the end."

"Why would you ever think that? You know I trust you'd never do that and that I don't want Remus anymore. I want you. Only you."

"And you trust me enough to believe that when I say they're yours, they are really yours." Harry rolled his eyes, chucking the parchment back to Sirius. Sirius picked it up and after reading it, looked up at Harry and raised an eyebrow.

"Only one? You're lying. What about Snivellous?"

"We broke up about a week before your dates and I didn't bother with dating much unless you count the week I came home. Even you'll remember that..."

"Behind the greenhouse when you were supposed to be studying?"

"That's the one. And do you know why it's memorable?"

"Because your dad almost caught us in the act?"

"And considering how most of the next few days were spent in your bed, I don't know where a contraceptive potion fits into it."

"You sure you didn't take one?"

"Considering I started puking every morning three weeks later... Yes."

"Well, that solves that mystery. But to think after all this we can't call them 'fire' and 'whiskey'."

"It'll be 'green' and 'house' instead." Sirius laughed at Harry's suggestion. "I have a surprise for you." Harry stood up and Sirius leant back, watching Harry walk a small distance from the bed and crossing to the other side. He finally decided to mention it.

"You've started waddling already." Harry sighed sadly.

"I realised already. You've got till March to laugh at the way I walk." He turned to face the bed. Sirius watched eagerly as he undid the bathrobe, took a deep breath and let it fall to the floor. He closed his eyes and waited for a reaction. When he didn't hear anything but Sirius sucking his breath in, he opened his eyes.

"Does it look that bad?" Harry asked him nervously.

"Bad? Why would it look bad? It's probably the most gorgeous thing I've ever seen you in. Too bad though."

"Too bad why?"

"Too bad I'm going to have to rip it off with my teeth." Sirius growled and pulled Harry and his short white silk lingerie-style gown with him.


For the explanation of the long wait, refer to the one-shot I posted a couple of days ago called 'mama knows best'. It takes place in the same universe as this and besides being funny, it'll also explain why Crosby calls Harry 'mummy' and why he randomly called Sirius 'daddy'.

Thank yous:

Sarah365: Your review made me smile.It really is reviews like this that keep me going when there seems no point. Thankyou.
KittyKat: Thanks, I'm hoping to move onto original stuff, away from fanfiction, soon, but need an idea to strike me. I'm hoping it's like lightning, not like a tiny shock like when you stick your finger in thelight socket, or am I the only one stupid enough to try that?
Boblin: Wow, thanks!
Redhot chick: Oh, the isaacs guy himself isn't the most important, it's what he's offered Harry that is... it's already cause problems once.
Blind-hatred-infatuation: Yeah, that review made me angry, but also special, to them I represent the entire Sirry ship, so I felt like, cool! And it made me laugh. I know how it happens and I wouldn't recommend anyone it happens to following Harry's example,I mean, I know he thinks it was a once off thing, but believe the author, this is not the last of spousal abuse in this story and it's sequels...
Graceandpipp: Will do!
Shadow-Hawk Opal: After reading your review, IchangedHarry's reaction from passive forgiveness to threats, however idle they are, I think it's more realistic than how it was originally written, thank you very much for helping me improve my story!
Joe: THANK you JOE!
jaleandralalok: Umm, si?
Melenna: It's ok. Sigh, it's horrible to have to do that to Harry and make Sirius hurt him, but fluff and happy realtionships do not a story make! Hope you liked the long chapter.
xmorena17x: A lot of people couldn't believe it.
Jellycatty: If you keep reviewing I will. If you don't, I will shoot!

Sweet Mercy: Yes! Very bad! And he doesn't have a baby to take care of, he has three of them!
Sliver of Melody: Yeah, poor Harry, but no one noticed what I said about Crosby afterwards, did they? I suggest you re-read, it's going to be a major obstacle in his realtionship with his father someday...
Cucami: Thanks.
Spazz1989: Thanks Spazz!
Mysticruby: I know, it just makes it seem worse, doesn't it? Harryeitherdoesn't hold grudges well or he's doing it for the children. I think in this case it's the latter. You'll see, he does that a lot in this story and suffers for it... And welcome to the world of cross-dressing, enjoy your stay.I can recommend you some good fics with itif you want.
Sammi (ranmasangel): It's ok, I don't login a lot either when I review...
Yoblossom: I know Squee! Nothing is hotter than pregnant Harry in a skirt, but maybe it's just me!

Rikkairora: Angst rocks!
Miru Amai: Why haven't you emailed me lately? :(
An angry Harry/Sirius Fan: What the fuck is wrong you? This is a fiction! Not canon!And yesI can write, if I couldn't, how would you have gotten through my entire 'What HaveI Done?' and twenty chapters of this? My god, you can't even leave it signed you coward! Come on, show me your writing and we'll see if I can't write. Oh, and if MY story represents the entire Sirry ship to you, you need to go google more because there are countless communities that count for more than my one fic!
MadamBlack: You left and didn't come back! Whose the meany bitch now?
Amanda Burke: Thanks, I will.

This story has eleven less reviews than 'What Have I Done' so I'm going to be really happy when it surpasses it. And happy author means more writing and more updates! So review!

Note to all people who liked 'No one can save us now' (a.k.a: The Harry/Draco underage mpreg story!): I am starting to re write it, like I should have done along time ago. It'll be coming back once I get at least three chapters done. If anyone has any bits of it saved, any links where I might have forgotten that I put it, absoulutely anything, email me or leave me your email address (make sure it will come out, it doesn't always appear) and I'll email you! This would really make it a lot easier on me. Thanks.

Review!
