CHAPTER 21

PLEASE DON'T TORTURE ME

Days had gone by, which led into weeks. Severus never tried to contact Katrina, nor did Katrina contact Severus. She was happy with the company of the convict, Sirius Black.

They had received an owl only a night ago from Remus Lupin, stating he would meet them at the Cottage on this night. Katrina made an excellent dinner for the three of them. She hand sent Abraxix and Jeremiah to spend time with their Uncle Albus, brother and sister. She was sure they would sneak Severus a visit in there somewhere.

"Kat?" Sirius hollered walking down the stairs.

"In the kitchen, Sirius." She yelled back, hurrying to see what he was yelling for. "What is it?"

Smirking, he didn't say anything for a moment. He just wrapped his arms around her waist as they met each other in the sitting room. "Just wondering if you were going to get dressed, or maybe walk around naked?"

Swatting his chest, she left her hands there. "I think I should tease you. Besides, I'm sure Remus has missed his best friend."

Barking out a laugh, he settled on placing his forehead on hers. "I've thought about him here and there. Your boys aren't her and we're all alone, and…"

"No wonder you turn into a dog." She chuckled. "You're always…"

"Always when there is a beautiful woman." Pecking her lips quickly then swatting her backside, he pushed her toward the stairs. "Get dressed young lady, or Remus might have to see me tear you apart."

"I don't think that would happen." Katrina said as she slowly started walking up the stairs and untying her robe.

Sirius slowly started walking up them too, about four steps behind her. Katrina dropped her robe completely when she was at the top of the stairs and walked to her room. "We don't have time to play, Kat, so you should stop with this constant teasing."

"I should, but, it doesn't mean I'm going too."

Sirius was almost to the top step when there had been a knock on the door. "Damn you, Remus." Katrina started laughing from her room. He sighed as he descended the stairs to go answer the door. "Moony! Come in, come in!" He stepped aside for Remus to walk in. "It's been a long time."

As the door closed they greeted one another in a welcoming hug. "Too long, brother." Remus said pulling away. "You're still looking as mad as ever."

Katrina interrupted as she started descending the stairs. "Living in this house, one does tend to lose their mind."

"Lovely to see you again, Katrina." Remus held his hand out for her, helping her down the rest of the stairs.

"Come, lets eat." Katrina said smiling as she and Remus kissed in welcome. "How are Amelia and Severus doing?"

Sitting at the table, Remus answered. "Excellent in my class. Better than the other first years."

Katrina smiled as if gloating. "I'll have to burst that bubble later." Sirius said placing his hands behind his head.

The table had been set and all Katrina had to do was place the food on the table. With her wand everything at once had been levitated over and gently placed down. "If you think you can burst my bubble, I'll let you. But, I don't think you can, Mr. Black." she was still grinning as she sat down at the table. "Dig in."

Eating with the two Marauders, as Katrina found out, both men talked about what they would do in school with their old friends James Potter and Peter Pettigrew. They even spoke about what James did to Severus, not really realizing that while Katrina cleaned up after eating, that it bothered her that they were talking so freely of the man she somehow still loved.

Getting late, Remus was about ready to depart when Katrina thought it would be safer if he just used the Floo. As Remus made for his departure, Sirius and Katrina stood by the fireplace saying goodbye. Katrina had her arm around Sirius' waist and Sirius had his arm draped over Katrina's shoulder.

Once he had departed, Sirius looked down at her. "You alright? You seem a bit quiet after dinner."

Looking up at him, she smiled. "I'm fine. Just a bit tired is all."

Without saying anything, Sirius picked Katrina up, carrying her up the stairs and to the bedroom. Once he put her down, he put one of his hands on he cheek. "Something is wrong. I don't know how I know it, but I do." They had gotten undressed and into bed, not bothering with putting anything on. Pulling her close to him, she let out a deep almost choked up sigh. "Tell me what is wrong, Kat." he rubbed her arm, soothing her to help her open up.

"Really, I don't know, Sirius." She sighed again and he pulled her into a tight embrace. "I guess just hearing you two talking about what went on when you were in school kind of hit me the wrong way. It's been over a month…"

"Do you want me to leave so you two can get back together?" He was trying to sound as if it would not hurt him, but deep down it made him feel even worse than when he was in prison, surrounded by Dementors.

Shaking her head, she could not bring herself to tell him to leave. "Severus is not my husband any longer. I guess I should go to the Ministry to see about getting divorced from him."

He kissed the top of her head consoling her as best he could. "Do what you think is right, Kat. I'll be here as long as you'll have me."

She pulled herself away looking up at him and smiled a genuine smile. "I think I'll keep you for a while."

Leaning in, he kissed her with more passion than she had ever felt from him before. Their relationship went from heated sex every night to that of slow passionate love making. Katrina enjoyed his companionship and surely was not complaining of their sexual endeavors. But, she still had the trouble of saying that she loved him.

As next few days went by, Katrina was still feeling off, and not thinking about what was going on during the heated nights she had been with Sirius, or the nights that she had been with Severus making love all night in the Castle, she woke one morning running to the bathroom getting sick.

Knocking on the door, Sirius grew concerned. "Kat, you alright?" This had been a nightly discussion between the two. Sirius was not sure why her disposition changed so abruptly.

"I'm fine. Just give me a few minutes and I'll be down to make your breakfast." she groaned feeling like she were about to die. "I haven't been like this…"

"What, Kat? You haven't been like this since when?" Sirius was becoming alarmed. He did not know what she was talking about.

"No!" She thudded her head against the wall waiting for another round of bile to bring itself forth. "UHG! I can't believe this!"

Hearing her on the other side of the door, Sirius cautiously opened the door. "What, Kat. What's the matter?"

He found her sitting against the wall with her knees up, her elbows on her knees and her hands covering her face. He kneeled down in front of her pulling her hands away. "What are you thinking, Kat?"

For the first time, Sirius seen her crying. Searching her eyes, he sat there patiently waiting for her reply. She shook her head. "It can't be. I can't be…" She put her head down resting it on her upper arms. All she kept doing was shaking her head.

"What is it, Kat? You're starting to worry me."

"Would you get your wand?" Was all she said. She heard movement and figured he was going to fetch her wand or maybe his as she asked.

She did not know if he left or not, but looked up and found him standing there with his wand in hand. "What do you want of my wand?"

Slowly closing her eyes, Katrina could not look at him when she said what she was going to say. "I need to see if I'm…if I'm pregnant." She heard him gasp, and that brought on more tears.

Sirius gently pushed her legs out in front of her and waved his wand around her stomach. She knew what was going on, she just was not ready to accept the truth. And, in all truth, if she was pregnant, she did not know whose child it was. Either Severus or Sirius was the father.

"I don't know what I'm looking for, Kat." he said as he watched in awe as her stomach glowed.

Still refusing to open her eyes, she asked, "Is it glowing?"

It took him a few minutes to reply, but he did. "Yes. A golden color." She started crying, not caring about what he thought of her. "What does that mean? Are you or aren't you?"

Taking some time for her to collect herself, she finally answered. "I am." Sirius touched her cheek and she opened her eyes slowly. "I'm pregnant." she looked up at him, but could not tell him that she did not know if it was his or Severus' child growing within her.

Pulling her up on her feet, he picked her up and carried her to the bedroom. Laying beside her in bed he held her close to him as she cried and cried. "I think this is a time for celebration, don't you?"

Shocked at what he said, she looked up with him. "What do you mean celebration? Sirius…I…I don't know…"

Slowly leaning in, he kissed her lips. "I will take care of this child, Kat. Even if it isn't mine, I will help you. That is if you'll let me." For some reason, this turned him on immensely knowing that the child might be his. Pushing her on her back, he straddled her legs. "I don't know why, but, it feels good knowing that there is a possibility that I could be a father."

She did not fight him. In a way, she kind of wanted him to touch her. She did not want to be alone anymore. She needed someone to make her feel safe-feel loved. And she was finding comfort in Sirius.

The rest of the year went by without any incident. Until the end of the school year when Sirius snuck out of the house and what later Katrina found out, he found Harry and his friends. After that night, Katrina did not hear word from Sirius until a few weeks later. All of the kids were home, and Katrina was feeling as if she had lost everything again. She still had not heard any word from Severus, and to her she thought that was good news.

A strange looking bird came pecking on her window one morning. Opening the window, she noticed the bird poke out a leg with a note attached. She took the note off its leg and it flew away without waiting for a reply. As she read the note, she started walking to the fireplace. She needed answers from him.

Throwing in some powder and waiting for the Floo to turn green she spoke, "Twelve Grimmauld place." her head spun as he body stayed on the bricks of the hearth. When it stopped, she opened her eyes staring into what looked like a very dusty and unkempt kitchen. "Sirius?"

"Hello, dear." A woman said as she came into Katrina's view. "What can I do for you?" The woman had red hair and was attempting to clean.

"I'm looking for a mass murderer." She smiled. "Would he happen to be close by?" Not being able to see the whole room, she heard a door open and close.

"I didn't expect to hear from you so soon, Kat." Sirius had come into view and smiled at her. "I'm sorry I didn't come back that night. I was in a bit of a panic with the Dementors around. I had to flee."

"That's not why I was contacting you." She said rolling her eyes since she knew he could not see her hands moving. "You said something about me staying…"

"Yes. I want you and the kids to come stay here at Grimmauld place for the summer." He looked to the side of him, then looked back. "Get the children and yourself ready. I'll expect the five of you to come through the floo in about an hour?"

Surprised by his slight demand, Katrina smiled again. "Fine, and you have a lot of explaining to do."

Smirking, Sirius nodded. "I'll see you soon then. And be careful not to over exert yourself."

"Certainly. We will see you soon." she pulled herself out of the fireplace yelling at the children. "Kids, pack your bags. We're going to go see Sirius."

Quickly as she could, Katrina had gotten everything ready and apperated the bags to number twelve Grimmauld place. Amelia went first, followed by Severus. She then let Abraxis go on his own and then she and Jeremiah went through.

Upon arriving, she was met with a fierce hug and a warming kiss by Sirius. "Never thought I'd see you again." He smiled down at her as she caught her breath.

Looking up at him, she smiled. "Good to see you too, Sirius." Looking around the room she pulled out her wand. "Looks like there's a lot of work to do."

"Oh no, not in your condition. You are not lifting a finger." Sirius said as he pulled her out of the kitchen after taking her wand. "You look spent and I think you should rest up a bit."

"Sirius! I need to get the kids settled, then start cleaning this mess up." she stopped him at the base of the stairs and stared up at him. "I'm pregnant not dying."

"I know." He smiled and pulled her along. "But I don't know what is in this place I once called home and I really don't want you to get infected by anything that might bite."

"Including you?" She sniggered.

Pulling her close to him, he started kissing on her neck. "You like it when I bite."

They had spent the whole day together getting bedrooms cleaned for all four of the children to sleep in. It was well past midnight when they had both finished cleaning the two rooms that Katrina's kids would be staying in on the second floor. She had made sure that they all had their baths before tucking them into bed.

Once she closed the door, Sirius took her hand leading her up yet another flight of stairs. "Where are you taking me?" She asked completely exhausted.

"To bed where you should have been quite a few hours ago." Once they reached the top step, Sirius picked her up in his arms. "It's time for you to have a good nights sleep."

He put her in his bed and started undressing her. "I don't think your plans are for me to sleep right away." she smirked.

"You are very right. I wanted you to lay down since you arrived so I could spoil you myself."

She started undressing and had gotten in the bed as she always did-naked. "How do you plan on spoiling me?"

Looking down at her form, he raised his hand to the slight bump on her stomach. "I never knew how beautiful a pregnant woman could be." He was in awe of her body. "If I would have known this, I would have had a lot more sex with a woman and actually have it as meaningful as it is with you." As he spoke, he climbed between her legs positioning himself at her entrance.

"Don't talk to me about that now." She whispered as he brought his lips to hers. "Satisfy me."

He did satisfy her for most of the night touching her lightly as he had when they found out she had become pregnant.

Waking up in the late morning, Katrina noticed that Sirius was not in the room. She dressed and made her way down to the kitchen. Once she opened the door, she stood in shock. There he was-her husband staring back at her.

"Katrina." Dumbledore said to end the silence. "You are looking as healthy as ever."

She looked over to the Headmaster and smiled slightly. "Thank you Albus. What seems to be going on?"

"This before you…" Dumbledore said, "…is the Order of the Phoenix." She gave him a questioning look, so he continued. "We are here to defeat the dark lord. We thought that with Severus as our spy, we would be able to be that much closer to keeping him from getting a body."

Katrina had stopped beside the head of the table where Sirius sat and he wrapped his arm around her waist. She wasn't looking at him though. Her eyes were still on her husband as his eyes were on his. "There are signs of his return, Albus." Severus said as he still looked at his wife's form. To him she looked so much different than what she used to, but he could not put his finger on it. "I will be heading out tonight to see if I can locate his whereabouts." He stood and Katrina kept her eyes locked on his. "I will return within the week to inform you, Albus." His eyes were still locked on Katrina's. As he walked toward the kitchen door, he grabbed her hand. "I need to speak with you for a moment-in private if we could."

Sirius dropped his hand from Katrina's waist. "By all means, do. But, if she comes back upset in anyway, you will be answering to me."

Sneering, Severus looked directly at Sirius. "I do not think that someone like you should be giving me advice on my own marriage when you are not even married." He pulled Katrina out of the room and down the hall. There had been a room off to the right. Pushing his way through the door, he made Katrina follow.

"What do you want?" She was short with him and could not understand what it was he would want after three and a half months away from each other.

Staring into her eyes, he grabbed her forcefully pulling her to him as he attacked her lips with determination. His lips felt foreign to her and she tried to push him away. Breathing hard, Severus kept her close. "I want you back. I hate being without you, my love."

She gave him a cold stare. "What? She leave you after that night? Or, did she finally have the child that was yours?"

Without her knowing, he pulled his wand out and stripped her of her clothing. He then apperated them out of the house, arriving at the Cottage. More precise, in their bedroom. "It is time that I show you what it is you mean to me." Pushing her on the bed, he climbed between her legs. "I will not allow you to fall into the arms of a criminal. You are mine and no one else's."

"Stop it! Get off me, damn you." Tears were seeping from her eyes as he forced himself in her folds. "S-s-s-stop." She tried to demand.

Grabbing her hands that were on his chest trying to push him away, he pulled them off him and over her heads. "I am claiming what is mine. He is not to touch you-my wife. You are nothing but a whore now-to fuck when ever it is I please."

He was rough with her as he took her. Keeping her legs apart as he thrust deep in her. "Severus. Please stop." She moaned as he kept taking her.

He felt her cum on his hard member that was penetrating her ruthlessly. "Do you do that to Black as well? I'm sure you do now knowing how loose you are when you're naked. I wouldn't be surprised if you went to the Ministry soon to divorce me." He kept driving his hard member deep into her.

"Please, Severus. Stop." He pulsated inside her and she knew that he had finished with her for the time being. He did not pull out of her though. "I won't move if that's what you want, Severus. You should have never forced yourself on me either."

Looking down at her he noticed that there was indeed something different about her. "What is wrong with you? You are my wife and I should be able to take you when ever I wish." He spat as he stared at her naked form. She did not answer him. He pulled out his wand and roamed it over her naked form after he pulled away from her. He had seen that her stomach glowed. He said another silent incantation showing him a view of her womb. That is when he saw the child growing inside her. "Whose…whose child is it?" Shock overrode his face as he questioned her. "His? Mine? Whose?"

Putting her hands over her face, she completely broke down. Shaking her head she still had not answered. Slowly she felt Severus' hands on her wrists pulling them away for her to answer. She could not answer him, it was all becoming too much for her to handle. "I…don't…know." Was all she could say through her tears. "I couldn't get over what you did to me…and he was here…and…and it just happened."

"Did you scream my name when he took you?" He was becoming outraged by the fact that she did not know whose child she was carrying.

"Did you moan my name when you came in that little whore of yours?" She pulled herself together when he asked her that. "That night, I didn't see you complaining about who you were fucking and who you weren't."

He had calmed down some, and leaned over her body. "I love you, sweetheart. It about killed me when I saw the two of you together with his arm wrapped around you." he leaned in kissing her lips. She was not sure what to make of his change in attitude. Gasping as he penetrated her again, he spoke softly to her. "It is my child that you carry within you. Deep down I know it is mine."

Knowing how to make love to her, he kissed his way to her favorite spot that he was sure Sirius would never had known about. As he kissed the secret spot, he kept making love to here and endless 'I love you's' were whispered in her ear.

After a while, she started bucking up. "Severus." She moaned in ecstasy as she came on him again. He still thrust into her and attacked her lips. "Don't…oh, Severus…please!"

"Shhh. I'm not going to leave you in the hands of a man who cannot control himself. I-your husband should be the one pleasuring you."

Little to their knowledge, there had been a peeping tom just outside their door. Sirius, not knowing where she had gone or if she had left willingly with Severus took the Floo to the Cottage. Sneaking upstairs in his animagus form, he heard everything. He heard her orgasms as they pierced through his ears.

Leaving them bee, Sirius transformed back into his human body and returned to Grimmauld place.

"Severus, please." She whispered as he kept his pace slow. "I love you both." he came inside her as before, then pulled completely out of her.

"Then to keep you in check-as my whore now, you will not be allowed any clothing, nor will you be able to leave this dwelling until you tell me that I am the one you want."

"I won't do it. I love you, and I have the same feelings for Sirius." He did not respond to that, he just leaned over and apperated them to their cellar to inflict some sexual punishment on her.

Severus did not go collect his children. He knew they would be in the best hands possible with Molly Weasley there. It took two weeks for her to come to terms with what Severus was doing to her. He would leave at certain times, leaving her bound in the cellar, all alone. Upon his return, he would always take her any way he wanted. Most of the time he would have her shackled and have her pleasure him as he sat in a chair magically moving her up and down. Sometimes he was so mad at her he made her pounce on his cock roughly just to appease himself.

He had not let her go after a month. She was becoming more and more broken by the day, when she finally told him that he was all that she wanted as her stomach grew larger. He apperated her to their room, keeping her chained to the bed as he would endlessly make love to her every morning, every afternoon and every evening. She never had gotten much sleep, and if she did, he would wake her by his cock being shoved deep inside her and get a sexual lashing.

"Severus, please unchain me. This isn't good for our baby." She cried one night after he had finished taking her. "I love you, Severus. I have never stopped. Please unchain me and make love to me again."

"Do you promise never to touch another man again?" She nodded and he magically made the chains disappear. Climbing between her legs again, she touched his face and ran her hands down to his chest.

He brought his lips down to hers as he penetrated her. "Don't ever hurt me again."

If you're all wondering what is going on, I decided that I would wait for Katrina to get revenge on 'Kia'. I really didn't want to make Katrina prego, but hey there has to be a little bit of drama...shouldn't there be? lol thanks again for reading :)
