xxnecromancerxx– I know he's a sexy beast. I went to the Harry Potter movie just to see him when he was a teenager (and adult). Movie sucked, Snape was AWESOME! coughs

Sure! I wrote chapter nine last night on a whim, so I'll post it now. I think it's still the same day technically, but I went to bed and woke up, so it counts as a different day, damn it!

Chapter NineMind and Matters

"…quite a surprise, Severus, but I am very grateful you were there to…"

"…love you so much…"

"going to be fine after a little…"

"…it's going to be a boy, you should be awake in time to…."

"Wake up!"

Remus' eyes snapped open at the command, and was met with a darkened hospital room. He moved his head slowly, but no one was around. Who had yelled at him then? He frowned and sifted slightly, wondering how long he had been out of it. He could remember parts of things being said to him in different voices. Voices of people he loved.

His arms felt quite normal. But he was groggy and stiff, so he must have been out for a day or more.

He looked over at the door when the knob turned and smiled when Severus entered. The man promptly dropped his cup of coffee, which he had been previously clinging to like it was his first-born son, and rushed to the bed.

"You're awake!" He cried happily.

Oh yes, he had been out of it much longer then a day.

"How long was I not awake?" Remus asked dumbly, his voice sounding foreign to him.

"A month." Severus said and Remus' eyes widened.

"For broken arms?" He cried and Severus shook his head.

"It wasn't just that, your bones were all out of place everywhere, you had internal wounds that had healed wrong, and all sorts of stuff. They drugged you so much that you were in a sort of magical coma. But you're good as new, now. They said you could go home within a day after you woke up if everything was in check." Severus smiled and sat down in a chair that looked well worn.

"Home…your home?" Remus asked and Severus nodded. Remus beamed. "Sirius…he isn't…"

"No, we all decided to wait and see if you wanted to press charges." Severus said quietly. "But he hasn't been allowed near you."

"No, I don't wish to press charges. Maybe James can talk him into getting some help. Askaban will only hurt him more. He's a good person, Severus, he's just sick." He sighed and Severus shrugged.

"If you say so." He muttered.

They were quite a moment, then Remus raised an eyebrow. "What's that smell?"

"Well I couldn't really bring myself to leave the hospital…" Severus said and Remus started to laugh. Only Severus would stay in a hospital for a month even when the person he was there for was in perfectly stable condition.

Oooo0000oooO

"It's not much, but maybe with a few magical additions-" Severus said as he opened the door. Now that it was daylight and Remus was seeing this place as a home rather then just a place, he was feeling rather nervous, but Remus interrupted him.

"It's perfect." Remus said happily, walking into the house and smiling as he looked around. "I love it." He turned around and watched Severus set his bags down on the floor then locked the door. Remus smiled seductively and sauntered over to him. Severus raised an eyebrow cockily at him. "And I love you." He said, fisting the front of Severus' robes and leaning up for a kiss.

"I love you, too." Severus said, wrapping his arms around Remus' waist and pressing their lips together.

STILL not the end! Only one more chapter to go. It's more of an Epilogue then anything, but I still felt like putting it in. Yay for cuteness!
