Lily stared at Sirius sharply as they sat by the fire. She'd been trying for a while to question him, to find out the true story without blurting everything out to James just yet. Finally she had him alone.

"Sirius.." She said and he didn't reply as James burst in from the kitchen.

"I've got it, I've got the place where Harry is." He said and Lily was going to tell him that if Harry was there, he wasn't going anywhere and they'd go the next morning, but Sirius did it first.

"He'll still be there tomorrow Prongs, it's late, let's not go now." Lily got up and stood next to her husband, suddenly changing her mind about going.

"Well Sirius, if you don't want to come…" She said and Sirius sighed.

"No, I'll come. What's the address Prongs?"


Sirius opened his eyes after apperating and was shocked. They were at the top of the hill, looking over the exact street he had lived on up until a few days. He was suddenly glad he had left.

"We'll split up. Meet back here in an hour." James said and started towards the nearest house. Sirius meanwhile looked down on the street to his and Harry's house. Realizing that he could still be in hot water if they found either of the two, he made his way towards the two moving figures out on the front lawn, unaware that he was being followed…


Harry stood watching his son fly two feet above the ground, laughing like he'd never enjoyed anything more. Harry sighed sadly, wishing he could do be doing the same on his own broom right now. He hadn't flown in seven months and probably wouldn't for a long time. He put his hands on his back and leant backwards to try and stretch out the dull ache, reminding himself that it would all be worth it, if the healer was right, in little over a week.

"So, I take it he liked the presents?" A familiar voice said behind him and Harry didn't bother to even look at Sirius.

"Come on Crosby, enough for tonight, let's go inside." Harry called out and Crosby landed and carried it over his shoulder, walking towards the house. Harry followed.

"Good idea." Sirius said, not moving from where he was standing. "They're here. If you don't want to be forced back, I suggest you hurry."

Harry stopped, turning around and taking long strides until he was inches from Sirius. To anyone else this might not look very intimidating; the younger man heavily pregnant and almost two feet shorter. But to Sirius, he could not have been scarier. His eyes were filled with hatred and his fists balled, nails digging into his palms.

"You bastard." He spat. "Isn't it bad enough you abandon us? Then you still go sell us out! What the fuck do you want? To completely destroy me?" Tears welled up in his eyes.

"Well then go, because you've already done it." He turned on his heel and marched into the house, Sirius now following him.

"I didn't tell them where you are!"

"I'm sure you didn't." Harry said sarcastically. Sirius looked round the living room. Toys were scattered around the floor, boxes piled up against one wall and, for some strange reason, a crib pushed halfway up the stairs.

"What happened here?" He asked as Harry got on his hands and knees, picking up the toys and putting them into the toy-chest.

"I've been busy." Harry answered simply.

"How do you expect to take care of Crosby and raise him right if you can't even take care of yourself." Harry threw the toy down and stood up suddenly, surprising Sirius. He slapped him across the face. Hard.

"I'm doing this all for him, doing everything so he can have it better, working myself until I can barely keep my eyes open, and you come in here and say imply that I can't and shouldn't be allowed to take care of him. You were the one who left when he was a ten-minute-old embryo! You were the one whose ex meant more than his life! The one who sent papers saying you didn't want anything to do with him, and now you have the nerve, the nerve to come here and accuse me of being a bad parent!"

"So you signed them then? The papers?" Sirius asked and Harry picked up the papers off the floor, got the first quill he found and signed his name on the bottom, shoving them at Sirius.

"You want them? Take them and get out!"

"Harry, do-"

"I SAID GET OUT!"

Both of them were unaware of someone listening to their conversation. Lily, while shocked at what she heard, knew this was all she needed as proof. Leaving the house before she was seen, she watched from the street as Sirius came out the house looking miserable.

"Find anything?" She asked and he shook his head. Yup, this was definitely flawless evidence she was sure her husband was going to find very interesting...


"Lily. Where's Sirius? Did you give him the right time? We're going to be late." James asked as Lily sat at her vanity table doing her make-up. Since a majority had voted where they were spending the night (Sirius, James and Peter), the new year would be welcomed in at a pub resteraunt.

"Go James, I'll wait for Sirius. We'll meet you there." She said and James kissed her cheek.

"You're a doll. See you later." He said and apperated away.

You won't be seeing Sirius for a long time… Lily thought, smiling to herself as she applied her lipstick.


"Sorry I'm late. Did they leave? Do you know where it is?" Sirius asked as he flooed in fifteen minutes later.

"Don't worry about that Sirius, it doesn't matter to you anyway." Lily said calmly and Sirius frowned. "Sit." He plonked himself into an armchair obediently. Lily stood up and Sirius looked at her nervously.

"Look, Lily, you're beautiful and really nice, but you're James's property, and I couldn't do that to him." She glared at him, realizing what he meant.

"Why not? You already did his son."

"That was almost two years ago Lily, surely you don't still resent me for that? Harry got over it, I got over it, everybody's fine and boom! You got a grandchild to go with it."

"Surely you don't expect me to believe that, I mean, you two must have had it at least once more, after all, I don't think he managed to get pregnant again by you snapping your fingers. Twins too." She said, putting her hands on the armrests, making Sirius move back against the chair as she leant forward. "And just for your information, he hardly seemed over it a few days ago."

"H-h-how?" Sirius stuttered and she gave a maniac grin.

"Oh, surely you don't think Harry got out by himself, no, you've known James longer than me. He would have never let him go if I hadn't slipped him a certain mass-hysteria potion." She let go of the chair standing up and looking into Sirius's face. His mouth hung open in shock as he stared at her fearfully.

"Of course, I couldn't let him go without knowing where he'd been and with whom. And a strange thing about Harry, when he's upset, he gives away secrets; it gave you away last time. And guess what my reaction was when I found out it was you?"

"Not very happy?"

"Not happy? Why? He'd found someone he loved, was starting a family with, and was loved back, or so both of us thought." She glared at Sirius.

"I do love him! I do!" Sirius protested.

"Then do you mind telling me why you're here? Leaving him alone on New year's eve?"

"He's not alone, he's got Crosby!"

"Please Sirius, a one year old is not very good company for the holidays nor are unborn children who kick at your ribs and bladder, I know that one from experience. "

"You want to know why I left?" Sirius said, looking away from Lily shamefully. "I'm scared."

"What?"

"I can't do this, I'm not ready. I can't be a good husband and I can't be a father."

"Why not? You seem to be doing a good job at both of them so far." Sirius shook his head.

"Crosby is already more interested in just spending time with Harry, has always been that way."

"No it hasn't. I admit, Harry might have been able to bond with him a bit more, but it's like with most children if their mothers talk to them while they're pregnant. And I know Harry did that a lot."

"What do you mean? How would you know he did?"

"He told me. Right before Crosby was born. That he was going to miss being able to confide his problems in someone who wouldn't just laugh and tell him to get over it. Told me you were usually the person he would talk to, but since you were a bastard to him, he got the nearest thing to you. Anyway, I'm going off subject here. You're his father; you'll have your own bond with him, different from Harry's. You just have to work on it." Sirius shook his head again.

"They'll hate me."

"And you think by doing this, you're stopping them from hating you?"

"Huh?"

"If you let this divorce go through and leave Harry with all of them, you think they're going to be told stories of how nice their father was? No! They'll all be told how their father left their mother pregnant and alone to fend for himself, how he abandoned their siblings and he abandoned them. Someday that will catch up with you. You want that compared to a small chance they might hate you?"

"No, I don't want that."

"Then do something about it."

"What am I supposed to do? Go back there and grovel on my knees?"


Long wait, I know. I'm nursing an addiction to Sims night life. I've got this new patch, the InTeenimator and it's so much fun to be able to recreate Mpreg stories without having Harry an adult. Anyway...time for thank yous:

Night wolf: All in good time...
Dancefreak896: blushes
Jaleandra-la-lok: Sigh, I start exams tommorow. English. I should be sleeping right now, but the Nip/Tuck Season final is on at 10 and I can't miss that, can I?

Owlviennagreen:
James was always too caught up in work, with Lily, with Sirius, his other friends. And never made time for Harry. So he's the one actually to blame for why Harry ended up so close and eventually, in a realtionship, with Sirius. Yeah, it's amagical place.
Sigi: That question's anwsered. But will Harry take him back?
Sweetteetwo: All in one shot?
Firewitch
Starryone21:
I sent it, did you get it?
iamtherealmaverick: Harry should just stayed with Draco while he had him, don't ya think? But in the nextsequel you'll find out why he didn't...
Bulisen: Don't you worry your pretty little head off (I'm assuming it is pretty, considering I'm not a stalker chick. Nope, it wasn't me looking through your window last night Grins) Harry has over ten more years of suffering to go through... Thank you, I'm trying to keep him in character. He tries to be strong and do without Sirius, but then with everything that happens, he just breaks down. I see Harry that way. He keeps his problems in until all hell breaks loose... Sirius is being a bitch here, too many years ofonly having to do what he wants...
Cucami: I guess you're gonnna take back the speedy updates part, huh?
Sliver of Melody: I have news for you, you're not the only one. Pretty much every reviewer has told me what they want to do to him (some more graphic than others). Me too, Pregnant!Harry is my favorite Harry though.
What Love Is: Little people?Do you mean elves or babies?
Dybdahl: Ouch, maybe this chapter changed your mind? Sirius, privates and hammer will make him unable to, how would I put it? Make more children.
Shadow-Hawk-Opal: Sigh, I'm afraid Harry will suffer more than Sirius will, but eventually, it'll come back to haunt Sirius when Harry's not there... hint But I'm going into spoiler territory, so, change of subject! He's about seven and a half months, btw. Lily's more understanding than that, I know, she should be angry, but she's more worried about him leaving Harry at this time when he needs him most and she threatens to tell, but she knows that if she tells James, she'll have to tell how she knew, and then about the babies and why she didn't tell him and all that shit. And he'd forbid Sirius from seeing Harry and as you said,force Harry back into something he doesn't want. I see Lily as a smart woman with the intelligence to know that won't do any good for anyone... So James won't know for quite a while, and even then, he doesn't take it well...
IritIlan: He has his design job, but it doesn't pay very much. Read myreply to mystic ruby below to see ifhe cares...
Mysticruby: Sigh, Sirius can be such an ass sometime, he thinks he's doing something good for Harry but it's actually saving his own ass. It's quite sweet really.
GraceandPipp: I will...
Miru amai: Loads of people have threatened to kick Sirius's ass, maybe you can form an angry mob?
Boblin: He's still with James. Have I ever mentioned I love your name?
Amanda Burke.
Eac:
Want agony? Try wanting to write the next story but being stuck rewriting chapters that took you three weeks each to write the first time round.
Remo Con:If I killed him now I couldn't take my story much further, so he can be spared for a while, though Harry driving a butter knife through his head seems like a good idea... Thank you, I'm blushing so much right now.
