Author's note- Thanks to all who left me comments, you have no idea how much it means to me as a first timer. I loved that so many of you referred to Eliza as 'Ellen', I certainly wanted to make sure that nobody liked her and it looks like I succeeded. When it comes to whether she is or is not pregnant, you will just have to trust me for a little while. And to those who already said they wanted to kick her ass-Just you wait till later on, trust me you are going to want to kill the girl.

Chapter 2

Lily put her hand to her stomach, the baby seemed restless tonight. Taking a moment to gather herself she finally looks back at Remus who was now worrying at his empty cup, nervously waiting for her response.

"So that's it, your solution is to marry her?"

He finally looked up.

"It is the right thing to do. James would have done the same for you. We want to get married soon, before she starts to show."

"Do you love her?" Lily asked, already knowing the answer. Remus seemed to deflate before her eyes, looking tired and gaunt.

"It's not like I could do better is it?!"

"Remus, she-" He cut her off, putting his cup in the sink he gazed out at the garden.

"-is pretty, is smart, knows that I am a werewolf and is still willing to be in my general vicinity but more importantly, said yes."

Lily came up behind him and gave him a careful hug and joined him in looking out. They stood together in silence until they saw James pop into the garden.

"I don't want to tell James or Pete yet, I would rather talk to Sirius first. I want him to be my best man."

"Its ok, you head off home. I won't say a word."

He moved towards their fire place and taking some floo powder out from his pocket.

"Thanks Lily." He threw the powder into the fire and stepped into the flames.

"I can't believe I am going to be a father. I didn't think something like this would ever happen for me."

Lily could swear she could see tears in his eyes before the fire whisked him away.

After last night's mission they returned to headquarters, exhausted from the failure of the night only to have piles of paper work to do. They were not able to leave as they had to stand around and wait for Moody to finish yelling about their collective incompetence. He was so glad to get home he didn't even remove his robes as he clambered into his bed.

Waking up with the light streaming through his curtains, Sirius looked over at the clock. It was only 9 a.m. He couldn't get back to sleep so he forced himself to face the day.

Having gotten out of the shower he had begun rummaging around his cupboards only to find a tub of Bisto and a packet of crackers. Remembering his plans to visit his Remus he grabbed his coat and headed outside, hopped on his bike and rode into town.

At length he arrived at the little flat Remus shared with Eliza, after hiding his bike he entered the building and knocked on their door.

All he was praying that Eliza would be out as he heard Remus's familiar stride approaching. After a slight fumble of the locks the door opened to reveal an uncharacteristically dishevelled Remus looking out.

"Pads! Its good to see you" He pulled Sirius into a hug "I was going to visit you today. You just saved me the trip."

"So is Eliza in?"

Remus smirked at this, knowing full well what Sirius was hoping.

"No, you just missed her, she left for work a few minutes ago."

"Damn and it has been so long since I have seen her too but more importantly far too long since I have seen you."

"I've just been so busy with work at the library, all the order stuff and-"

"Eliza? She's been keeping you busy?" Sirius wanted to destroy every image that popped into his head.

"Yeah" Remus blushed a little at that "actually she is why I wanted to see you."

"Oooh, interesting. What is this about then? If it is the name thing, I promise I will stop it…eventually if you ask very nicely of course."

"Of course you would but no, that isn't it. It would be nice if you could quit at that all the same." Remus led Sirius to the table in his kitchen. "You had breakfast?"

"No, you mind feeding me?"

"Not at all, omelette ok?" He said, already pulling eggs and milk from the fridge.

"Mmm, perfect. That's just what I wanted to hear!" Sirius smiled "I always thought you would make a great wife"

Remus dropped the pan he was holding. Quickly stooping to retrieve it, he finished making breakfast.

Remus sat and waited for Sirius finish his breakfast, he didn't think he could eat his own omelette yet.

When Sirius finally finished he quickly charmed his dishes clean and turned to Remus.

"So what is it you want talk to me about?"

"Well this is big. I have already told Lily and considering her reaction I know your not going to be happy but, I really want you, no, I need you to do something for me."

"You know I would do anything for you Remus."

"I will have to hold you to that" Taking a deep breath to calm himself . "Will you be my best man?"

--

"PRONGS! WHERE ARE YOU?!" Sirius bellowed as he searched his friend's house.

Lily emerged from the bedroom. She knew what was wrong, just as she knew Sirius would act like this. It wasn't often that Lily Evans had felt sorry for Sirius but now that she was Lily Potter, she now knew Sirius well.

"So Remus told you. James is in the toilet, why not come sit down for a minute? Want some tea?"

"YES HE TOLD ME." He turned to yell at the bathroom door "JAMES WILL YOU COME OUT HERE NOW!"

Lily was already setting down three cups of tea when James entered the room.

"What's wrong Pads?"

They all sat down, Sirius seemed to collapse into the chair. Lily answered for him.

"It's Remus," She sighed "he's getting married."

"Oh that's great! Where is he, we must drink! Lily we still have champagne from your mothers party!" he then saw Sirius's expression. "Oh this isn't great?"

"He can't marry that bitch." Sirius muttered into his tea.

James was angered by this, Moony was like a little brother to him and it wasn't often Remus found something good in life so he was overjoyed by this news.

"Look, I know you don't like her, but if she makes him happy-"

"-Oh James stop being so dense." Lily snapped, looking sternly at her husband

"What? I don't understand. Moony is one of our best friends."

"Sirius, is there something you want to tell James? He is obviously too blind to see what is wrong here."

James kept looking between his wife and his friend, still confused, frantically trying to figure out what was going on.

"Pads?"

Sirius, defeated replied.

"I'm gay"

"And?" Lily prompted. Sirius glared at her for a second, ignoring James's seemingly vacant expression.

"I am in love with Remus."
