Chapter 2:
Sirius awoke to Remus sitting at the end of his bed reading a book. When he shifted Remus turned towards him and caught his eye. He looked worried and Sirius could only imagine what James had told their friend. He closed his eyes one more time, taking a deep breath, before this conversation was started.
"James is off with Lily and Peter is off who knows where again. What is wrong Sirius?" Remus asked placing a hand on his friends leg when he sat up.
"James broke things off with me to be with Lily." Sirius answered eyes downcast, not wanting to look at Remus.
"Oh. Why you so upset about it though?" Remus asked but shut his mouth when Sirius scowled at him.
"I loved him. Did no body know this. Of all people I thought you would. You have seen us together for the past couple years. How long was my relationships before that, not long at all. He has broken my heart and doesn't even care." His hand went to his stomach and he moved around to pull the blanket over himself.
"Did you ever tell him that you loved him? I thought not." Remus replied when Sirius didn't respond. "Then how was he supposed to know it meant more to you than what he thought it was? Your his best friend Sirius, you have to talk to him eventually. We have one more year left of school." Remus stated.
"If I am even here for the whole time. I have to speak to Dumbledore about something and I may have to leave." Sirius stated.
"Talk to him about what. What would you say to him that would make you leave the school?" Remus asked looking worried yet again.
"You have to promise on your life Remus you can't tell anyone, and I mean anyone, not even James. If I find out you do I will hex you and never speak to you again. I will make it my mission to make your life miserable." Sirius spat out.
"I promise wow. This must be big." Remus laid his book down and turned to face Sirius.
"I'm pregnant. Yes it is James." Sirius said staring into Remus' eyes and seeing them grow wide as his mouth opened in shock.
"You have to tell him, he has the right to know." Remus frantically stated.
"No. He doesn't have the right to know now. This is my child Remus. Mine. You swore you wouldn't tell. I have to go. Please don't tell James or anyone Remus." With that Sirius left the tower and made his way out to speak to Dumbledore.
Once he made it to the Headmasters office he sat in the chair across from the old wizard's desk and waited for him to speak. He knew Madam Pomfrey already talked to him once he left the Hospital wing. He was just too afraid to open his mouth, thinking he would have to leave the school because of his condition.
"Mr. Black, Sirius. I heard about your...Situation. Do you know who the other father of your child is?" Sirius nodded. "Would you mind telling me?" Sirius shook his head no. "I see. How do you plan on going through this pregnancy alone, giving birth and raising this child?"
"Just like that Sir, alone. I was hoping I could stay in school and graduate this year with my peers. Find a job once I leave and a place for myself and my child and raise it on my own. I don't want the other father to know, he doesn't have that right any longer. I'm sorry but that is just how I feel." Sirius answered truthfully.
"I understand. I can't force you to tell the other father, but I wish at some point, for the child's sake, you would re-consider. Now about your schooling. You shall remain here, you can decide if you want to put concealing charms on your self once you start showing, so no one else finds out. Do you know when you are due?" He asked.
"Sometime in March, Sir. I conceived around June. I should start showing soon also and the charms would be great to know." Sirius responded.
"So when the baby is due we will have to take you to Saint Mungo's. They know more about delivering a male pregnancy than Madam Pomfrey. We will give you a leave, let people think you have a family emergency at that time. If by then you decide to inform the father or would like one of your other friends to go with you, please let me know. Now off you go, and congratulations Mr. Black." Sirius nodded his head and walked out of the office then, sighing in relief that he was able to finish his schooling.
For the next couple weeks Sirius found himself in the library researching concealing charms for when he started showing, and he knew it was going to be soon. He was getting frustrated however, because he still had all his other course work to do as well. He was trying to do good this year, he wanted to get good grades and graduate with something that would help him find a decent job when he left. He growled in frustration as his stomach protested with him to take a brake.
"Having trouble Black?" He heard over his shoulder and turned around, already knowing who it was going to be.
"Snape, just leave me alone." He turned back around not willing to fight today, needing to get the information he needed so he didn't have to keep putting his other work off.
He could feel the Slytherin looking over his shoulder at the books laid out on the table. He quickly shut the books and placed them in his bag, knowing going to the dorm room would not be as quiet, but would get Snape away from him.
"Concealing Charms? What would you need to be looking them up for Black? They for some nasty prank you planning on doing?" Snape instigated following Sirius out of the library.
"No. Why do you need to stick your big nose into my business for anyway Snape." He was trying to get away from the other boy as fast as possible and wasn't paying attention to where he was going.
"Black!" He heard Snape shout but tried ignoring him, only to trip on some stairs he didn't notice and fall on his stomach, hands coming out a little to late.
"Fuck. Ow." Sirius wrapped his arms around his stomach as pain shot around him. He couldn't move, didn't know what to do.
"Black are you alright?" Snape asked from behind him.
"Madam Pomfrey, get her please." Sirius pleaded.
"That will take to long." Sirius didn't know what Snape meant until he felt him self levitating off the groud and moving in the air. He couldn't help but think why Snape would help him at all, let alone levitate him to the infirmary.
"Mr. Snape what are you... Oh my. Lay him down on that bed there. What happened?"
"He was walking away from me really fast and he didn't see some stairs and fell on his stomach. He has been gripping it like he is in pain ever since." Snape replied.
"Alright thank you for bringing him here, now get to class Severus." She shooed the boy out and Sirius was very grateful for that.
"Sirius where does it hurt darling?" He heard the nurse ask.
"My stomach. It hurts so much. Is the baby going to be alright?" He asked worry etching his face and tears streaking down it. He saw a light from a wand moving over him and heard a sigh coming from the nurse.
"The baby looks fine. Think you just gave it a little scare. You are going to be very delicate now being almost three months along. You really need to be more careful Mr. Black." She stated. "Now I want you to take this potion and I'm going to keep you here for the night and see how things go. Rest." She smiled at him as he downed the potion and snuggled into the bed.
Little did they know that Severus was still standing on the other side of the door, now with his mouth hanging open and eyes wide. "Pregnant?"
