Sirius had been finally released from the ICU though he would be in the hospital for at least another week. He had been lucky to live. Even with magic it was close. If a muggle he would never have made it to the hospital. Remus was there when he was moved. He was relieved Sirius was on the mend. He could not see life without him. They had been engaged during the last war. And then Sirius had gone to prison. They had the world's longest engagement he was sure. He hoped it would not end. Or at least end the way it was suppose to, with a wedding. Sirius still had no idea where Harry was. He was certain Remus and Severus would have taken him. It was the plan. And of course they had. But for now Sirius did not know they had given him back. Remus knew it had to be done. He saw Harry when he was returned. And he had Lucius' promise. Harry had seen more like himself when Lucius came and not less. He had actually spoken up. He had asked about the album. He had hugged Remus and wanted him to come visit. Harry's innocence made his heart aching. If Lucius kept his word not to touch Harry sexually it was such a welcome change. Harry seemed to have the innocence of childhood. He could have a chance to be himself.
He watched Sirius from the door. They had hoped for kids of their own. But there was little chance now. Sirius had sustained too many injuries for him to carry. Remus could. But there would be a risk. The wolfs bane would make it possible but monthly transformations would be hard. Harry might b their only child. He knew it would make this harder to tell Sirius. But Harry was not a small child any more. And Remus knew this was the best for Harry right now. He had to do the best. His son was his priority. As he walked into the room he reminded himself of that. Severus was right. He could not worry about Sirius and his reaction.
Sirius turned and saw him come in. The smile on his face made Sirius look almost normal again. He had been so pale and drugged in the ICU. Remus was relieved. If it had been Remus he would have been out already. Remus' wolf blood would have healed him quicker. He was just grateful that Sirius was doing better.
Sirius drew him down in for a tender kiss. "I have missed you Moony. I know you have been busy with the end of the war but I have missed you."
Remus sunk down with him. "I have missed you too Padfoot. But you have longer visiting hours now and soon you will be home and we'll be together again."
They would be living at Grimmauld. The home had been vacated by the Order since the end of the war. They planned on renovating the home now the war was over. They would gut all of the dark decor and horrible elf heads and more. They would bring new life to the house. And maybe with the potion they would have kids. He knew Sirius was imagining Harry there. And had once seen grandkids. But neither was really plausible. Harry would have far from a normal life for a time to come. He wondered if in the UK they would ever be able to give him that. Unless they could find a way to bring down Albus to make Harry safe once again.
Sirius looked at him. "How is our cub? I can not imagine you liked having to leave him at Grimmauld that often alone. I hope Kreacher is not acting up."
Remus shook his head. "Harry is not there. It is too dangerous and he needs time to recover. We left Harry at Spinner's End."
For now he could not bring himself to tell Sirius. Severus had sworn he would go by what ever story. For now he thought telling Sirius the truth would hurt his recovery. He knew the man would freak. And he doubted Sirius would remain in bed. He did not want his fiancé to rush out of here. Sirius could risk not only his own health but he could put Harry in danger as well. He was not sure how they would handle it when Sirius was released from the hospital but they would deal with it then.
Sirius was pale. "You are sure that Lucius is not still there with him? I know Severus is an old friend for you but I am not sure we can trust that man."
Remus quieted him. "You know Severus promised he would free Harry when the war was over and he has kept his word to us. It is just safer for Harry there."
He reminded Sirius that Grimmauld the Order could still enter. Severus' house was well protected. And Harry had been living there for the past few months. He was not lying. Really. Severus had rescued him. And h would not have sent Harry back. It had been Remus' choice to send him back. Remus comforted himself with that. He was not sure what he would comfort himself with when Sirius found out. He just hoped their love would be enough. But this was for Harry he reminded himself.
Sirius kissed his ring. "I will be home in a week or two and I then we can start helping him heal and plan a little wedding. It is time that we start our lives together."
Remus nodded. "I want to marry you as soon as we can. But you know Harry has been through so much. It is going to take time for him to heal properly."
Sirius knew and nodded his head. He knew that his godson would need some care. But he was so certain they would be enough. They were his godfathers after all. They would both work with him and he would soon be back to himself. Remus sighed as he listened. He wished deep down that Sirius was right. But he knew he wasn't. He had seen the pain that Harry had been in when they tried to keep him from Lucius. He would not let Harry continually be put through it. He couldn't.
