This is it, folks, the final chapter! Enjoy the results of two years of (not particularly) hard work…
When Love and Hate Collide.
Chapter 10, When Love and Hate Collide.
"Remus… there's something I have to tell you. You… Well, at the last Full Moon, uhh, Moony went into… well, he went into heat…"
"But that's… that's impossible, that shouldn't happen for another two years! And anyway, if that did happen, then I'd be… Well, I'd be very horny right now… Probably half mad, and I'm perfectly fine, so…"
"You would be horny, if you hadn't mated."
"I would have remembered mating with someone Sirius! That usually involves sex, and lots of it."
"There's one time of the month where you don't remember it. There's one reason that right now, you don't feel any obvious effects of having gone into heat… and that's id you'd mated with someone and… and fallen pregnant… at the moon…"
"But… oh… NO… Sirius, please, tell me we didn't…."
"We did. I'm so sorry, Moony… I should have told you, but you were so angry with me, and I didn't know what had happened and when I did find out, you were only just being my friend again and… And so I'm telling you now. You're pregnant, and you're my mate, Remus."
Remus shook his head, fear and that intense cold permeating him again.
"You can't be my mate… You can't be…"
"I am, Moony. I mated with you… And… And we need to do it again, soon, because we need to reconnect, and we need to have a lot more sexual contact to reaffirm the bond or you and our baby will die…"
Remus let out a small, disbelieving sob before bouncing out of the bed, tugging his robe over his naked body hastily and fleeing the room. Sirius just groaned and flopped back on the bed dejectedly.
:break:
Sirius didn't see or hear from Remus again for the rest of the day, and worry both for Remus and the baby clouded his mind throughout. Finally, a little before dinner, Sirius gave up waiting and went up to the Dorm to get the map and find Remus. He was surprised, therefore, to discover the young werewolf sleeping on his bed. He sighed and went across to tug the blanket over his body, frowning at the chill to Remus' skin. He was a little too cold…
"Remus? Remus, wake up. Remus, wake up for me Remus." He gasped, growing more and more concerned as he shook him. Remus wasn't responding and Sirius sobbed quietly in the back of his throat. He was too late, and his only choice now was to fuck the unconscious body of his mate if he wanted him to wake up long enough to re-create the bond. "Oh Remus, I really wished I didn't have to do this like this…" He whispered, quickly stripping both himself and Remus down.
He slid into bed next to Remus, holding the body close to him for a while to heat him up. Slowly one hand began stroking over Remus' body, tracing over too prominent rib bones and old transformation scars. He finally worked up the courage to trail his hands further down and curl around Remus' penis, gently stroking it in a feeble attempt to arouse him. The organ in his hand twitched once, but refused to stiffen further, and Sirius whimpered as he traced his hand down further before pressing one dry finger into Remus.
It was at this intimate gesture that Remus finally responded, slowly waking up under Sirius' touches, so that when his other hand came around to curl around Remus' cock and he pressed another finger in, Remus was fully aroused and he moaned. This, unfortunately, woke him fully and suddenly he was pulling away, ripping Sirius' fingers from his body and eliciting a mewl of pain at the sudden dry exit.
"What the hell were you doing?" He yelled. Sirius winced, but wrapped his arm around Remus anyway.
"Saving your life. You need this, you need to have my seed in you and the connection that sex gives us or you're just going to die. I thought you were dead when I came in here and first saw you. Your lips were blue and you were so cold - I shook you and called your name and even got two fingers in your body before you woke up - what does that tell you? I didn't want our first time to be that way, and I'm glad you're awake, but… But we can't wait anymore. I'm sorry, Remus, but I'm not putting you in any more danger."
This said, Sirius Summoned a tube of lubricant from his own bedside cabinet and slicked up three fingers, urging Remus to lay on the bed again. Remus just looked up at Sirius, completely shocked.
"You… You can't be serious… The first time… I won't die, I'll just get very ill. You should know that this is what'll seal the bond, and what'll tie us together forever! You can't honestly tell me -."
"Tell you what, that I love you? That I want to be mated to you for the rest of our lives? That I want this baby, our baby? I can, and I am, Remus. I'm not losing you or the baby, not when I know you love me. You had to have loved me, to have attracted me like that, and to have let me mate with you in the first place." Remus blushed and looked away, but he couldn't deny it.
"That… that's not the point…" He muttered sullenly. Sirius shook his head and tugged Remus' chin up.
"That is exactly the point. I don't want you to be unconscious, and I don't want this to be a rape, but this will happen, and I'd rather it happened now, with us both willing and conscious."
"You'd really… force me, if I didn't…"
"I… I don't know what I'd do… but that's my baby that will die if we don't mate, and this is my bond that will be discarded as well as yours, and I'd die - and kill - for both. But I don't ever, ever want to hurt you for it…"
Remus drew in a sharp breath, before nodding.
"Okay."
"Okay?"
"Okay, let's… let's do this… let's have sex…" he whispered, relaxing onto the bed and tugging Sirius hand back to his still aroused body.
"Remus… are you honestly… I mean, you're not just doing this…"
"I love you, you're right about that, and I don't want our baby to die either… It's all I could think about all day… So let's do this, as long as you're sure it's what you want as well."
"It is."
:break:
Remus slept afterwards, a genuine, healthy sleep, and they both missed dinner. They woke up hungry (the first time since the full moon for either of them) and they ended up going to the Kitchens for food. Sirius couldn't help but laugh at the House Elves delight at having visitors, and his breath caught at the wonderful sight of Remus - finally healthy and happy again, chattering away with the Elves as they pressed treats and sweets and delicious hot chocolate at them.
They left the Kitchens half an hour later laden down with éclairs and sandwiches, still laughing delightedly at the reception they received from the house Elves. Sirius caught Remus hand as they swung around one corner and tugged him into a euphoric kiss.
"I love you, Remus Lupin, and I intend to spend every day of my life telling you that." He whispered against his Mate's lips, before breaking away with one lingering kiss and gentle stroke to the non-existent "bump" before continuing on his way to the Dorms with his glowing Werewolf walking by his side.
End
A/n: Nearly two years, two long, long years, and it's over.
If you want a sequel, I have posted "You're what". Just re-write parts of it and you've got my basic idea for the way they are when they're older.
