The Black Line Continues
Disclaimer: Again, I wish I owned Rem and Siri but I don't. And I think I own the idea of the Magical tapestry instead of a dormant non-magical one.

Chapter 2: Pleasant Dream
"And what pray tell is my Moony doing out of my bed and down here at this ungodly hour of the morning?" Whispered Sirius into his lover's ear after he entered the kitchen. They were both alone in Twelve Grimmauld Place, much to Sirius' delight.
Remus smirked, "Your Moony could not sleep and remembered he was supposed to do something yesterday, but you, my dear Padfoot, stopped him from doing so."
Sirius gave his most charming grin, "You liked it though."
"I don't deny that." Replied Remus; he ran a hand through his hair. "But it would have been nice to finish my work before you jumped me."
Sirius plopped down on the chair next to Remus, he turned the werewolf's face to his and attacked the other man's mouth with his own, and he could feel Remus melt into him almost straight away. When he finally broke away he gave a lopsided smile, "Come back to bed, please?"
Remus made a small disgruntled kind of noise, "Si, I have to do this at some point, Dumbledore wants it at lunchtime."
Sirius slumped his shoulders slightly, "But its five in the morning…"
Remus turned back to his work, very conscious of the pleading look his lover was giving him now, "I'll come and join you as soon as I'm done." He could practically hear Sirius put on his best puppy eyes. "Sirius."
"Yes?"
Remus determinedly kept his eyes on his Order work, "Go away."
"But Remmie…"
"But Siri…"
"Are you mocking me?"
Remus smirked, "Of course I am." He finally looked back to Sirius and saw the puppy eyes there again, "Oh for Merlin's sake…fine." He pressed his lips back to Sirius' briefly. "That's my promise for what's to come." Sirius grinned smugly. "When I have finished my work."
Sirius huffed, "You're so cruel."
Remus rolled his eyes, "Yes Sirius, I am. I am the nastiest person you know."
"Damn right."
"But that's only because you know you'll be deprived of sex if I so choose it." Continued Remus in amusement. Sirius pouted. "Cry baby."
"Meany."
"Mutt."
"Meow."
Remus raised an eyebrow, "I think you need to work on your animal noises."
Sirius put his chin on Remus' shoulder and nuzzled his lover's neck; "Mmhmm…but it'd be easier if you were there with me to help…I find it much easier to concentrate if my teacher is good looking."
Remus snorted, "Charmer."
Sirius nipped his neck, "I know."
Remus grumbled, "God you're a nuisance…I should have you neutered."
Sirius pulled away from the brown haired man abruptly, he looked quite worried, "Don't you dare."
"Go back to bed."
Sirius huffed again and got up, "You're so mean."
"You love it."
"Do not."
"Do too."
Sirius stopped at the door and gave Remus another charming smile, "Course I do."
Remus opened his eyes and gazed up at the ceiling of his room at Twelve Grimmauld Place a small smile on his face. Sirius could be so annoying sometimes but he was a loveable nuisance and he was greatly missed already. Sirius was still alive, yes, but if he didn't wake up soon then god knows what could happen and that scared Remus even more now than it had nearly fifteen years ago when he had thought Sirius might die if he helped protect the Potters. Remus didn't want his baby to only have one parent around, especially if that one parent was a werewolf as well…
The brief bit of happiness his daydream had caused had lifted by now, Remus sat up and hugged his knees to his chest while gazing around the room. He didn't want to do this alone, he needed Sirius there with him, but if that couldn't happen then he needed someone's help. He knew he had to tell someone, Dumbledore or Molly even, he didn't want anyone to find out when he started showing, they needed to know now. Another thing that worried him a little was the Black Family Tapestry in the Drawing Room. He had noticed it had changed a little this morning when he had been in the room, it now had his own name on it linked with Sirius' and a gold thread leading to the word Unborn.
Somehow that Tapestry could magically add every time a Black reproduced, he remembered Sirius telling him that once when they were at school. They had been joking about getting each other pregnant and Sirius had said 'It'd give my parents a shock if that happened, bloody tapestry always knows when someone in my family is expecting…'.
Remus frowned, what if the other Blacks that were still around had similar family trees? Narcissa and Bellatrix, or Andromeda even. What if they found out he was pregnant? And he couldn't trust Kreacher either, what if that blasted house-elf went and delivered the news of something like that to Narcissa? He had heard at an Order meeting from Severus that she was very angry now that her husband was in Azkaban, of course, the Order knew Lucius would be out soon but she didn't. There was no saying what she would do if she were pushed.
The Blacks were notorious for having nasty tempers, Sirius included.
………
Remus was sitting in the Drawing Room reading one of the many old leather bound Dark Arts books that he had found while perusing the Black family library. He had skipped on dinner, earning himself a disapproving glare of Molly and a comment that he was skinny enough as it is even with food in him. It wasn't his fault, well, it kind of was, it wasn't like Sirius had gotten him pregnant alone.
As he gazed blankly at the pages of a detailed book about the Unforgivables and their effects on people, Remus heard the door creak open, he half expected it to be Kreacher so he made sure there was something handy to throw. But it was Hermione. "Good evening."
Hermione smiled nervously, "Hi…"
Remus raised an eyebrow in minor amusement, you didn't often see Hermione Granger so nervous, the girl was a firecracker when she wanted to be. "Can I help?"
Hermione nodded and hesitated before she started speaking, "Well…its just…when we were cleaning up this room the other day…we eh, we noticed something on the Tapestry…" She trailed off when she Remus nod knowingly.
Remus sighed, "Yes, I thought someone might see that before I had a chance to say anything." Hermione raised her eyebrows questioningly and he could see why several people had told him they thought Hermione was almost exactly like he had been when he was at school. Always eager to learn something new, and a bit too nosy for his own good. "I suppose you're wondering which one of us is pregnant, right?"
Hermione tried to look nonchalant about it but it was obvious she was wondering, "Well, if…if you want to tell me…"
Remus smiled slightly, "I am. Now in the future, if you and your friends want to know what goes on in Sirius' bedroom, you should all come and ask, instead of singling someone out to do it."
Hermione's eyes widened slightly, "How did you-"
"I didn't." Remus smiled at her shocked look, "It was just a guess."
"Oh…" Hermione then brightened up a little. "So, if we all come and ask, you'll give us the sordid tales of sleeping with the one and only Sirius Black?"
Remus laughed, "No, no, I think I'll keep those details to myself, thank you. But I may be willing to answer some of your questions."
Hermione grinned, "Great." She turned to leave. "Oh and congratulations, by the way."
Remus smiled, "Thank you."
After Hermione had gone, Remus sat back in his chair and gazed at the Black Family Tree. Well, if the kids knew about his pregnancy it probably wouldn't take long for everyone else to find out, especially if Severus had opened his mouth about it after he walked into the hospital wing.
……………………………………………………………………
A/N: Ok, so the Hermione asking Remus about the pregnancy thing was a bit short lived, but I'm quite happy with this chapter.
Next Chapter: An unexpected member of the Order shows up for the latest meeting and Sirius shows some signs of recovering. Will take place near the end of August so Rem is about two months pregnant.
