Rebecca hummed to herself as she chopped up the apples on the cutting board to prepare the apple pie she had promise Remus. She froze when she looked out the window and saw Andrew walking up the pathway to the house. She looked down at her stomach and looked up when there was a knock on the door. It had been months since she had last seen Andrew, remembering her argument about Remus reminded her why they hadn't spoken in months as she walked to the door. She took a deep breath as she reached for the door handle wondering what he would say when he saw her.

"Becca- what the hell?" Andrew said as his smile faded once his eyes reached her formed belly.

"Hello to you too Andy." She said raising an eyebrow.

"You- you're pregnant…like really pregnant."

"And it doesn't stop here." She said sarcastically. "Would you like to come in? You're letting out all the heat." She said and stepped aside and he walked in past her.

"Becca you're pregnant." He said turning to her as she closed the door.

"You know I hadn't noticed, thanks for informing me." She said as she made her way to the kitchen.

"I just- it's just sort of surprising." He said as he followed her.

"You're not the only one." She said as she got back to cutting up the apples as Andrew sat down at the table and sighed.

"You're not still mad at me are you?" He asked and she looked over her shoulder at him. "You know about what I said about Remus?"

"No."

"I'm sorry, I was out of line, you know him better than I do." He said and she turned around and folded her arms over her chest. "Anyways, how are you?"

"Pretty good I suppose, what about yourself?"

"Great…" He said and paused as he looked around and looked at her with a smile. "So you're still you know, with Remus?"

"Yeah, he will be home in about an hour."

"I see." He said and chuckled to himself. "So uh, how far along are you?"

"Five months."

"Has it really been so long?" He asked surprised.

"I guess so. How is the whole real estate business going?"

"Pretty good, I already have my license."

"Wow that's great."

"And I have already sold two houses." He smiled.

"Wow Andy that's great. How is Rebecca?"

"Oh we aren't together any more." He shrugged.

"Why not?"

"Just didn't work out, we started fighting a lot, so we broke up."

"Oh, she was one of the more pleasant ones." Rebecca shrugged and turned back to the cutting board.

"Are you busy after this?"

"Not particularly. Why?"

"Well would you like to go get something to eat perhaps, chat about the good old times?" He smiled.

"Yeah sure, sounds good."

"Is there anywhere exceptionally good around here?"

"A few places, what are you feeling?"

"I don't know, how about you pick? Oh guess what?"

"What?"

"Amy got engaged."

"Finally its about time her and Mark got hitched." Rebecca smiled with a sigh. "Gosh they have been dating for what? Five years?"

"Seems longer than that huh?"

"Yeah, wow, congrats to her and Mark."

"Yeah and you're invited to the wedding, of course."

"Hell yes, if that girl went off and got married without inviting me I would have to kill her."

"Well it's going to be in the fall, they are thinking Hawaii." He said with a broad grin.

"Hell yes."

"So…I assume you have already told your parents." He said and she stopped cutting apples and took a deep breath.

"Yes…we aren't exactly on the best of terms right now." She said and resumed her cutting.

"I'm sorry to hear that, I am sure they will come around."

"Yeah, I don't know about that."

"So is it a boy or girl?"

"Girl, we're naming her Abigail Caroline."

"Abigail? Hmmm…alright."

"Hey, don't hate, I like it." Rebecca said as she stuck her tongue out at him with a smile.

"Alright Abigail it is, so what will she call me?"

"Uncle Andy of course, what did you think?" She said with a laugh and he scrunched his nose.

"Uncle Andy?"

"Get used to it."

"When are you due?"

"May."

"Only five more months…didn't you say you would never have kids? I distinctly remember you saying-."

"Oh shut up. Things just happen, I guess I've changed."

"Alright, just give me five more minutes and we can go grab some lunch at this Italian place not too far from here."

"I missed you Becca." Andrew smiled as he leaned back in his seat.

"Yeah I missed you too Andy." She grinned.

Hours later Rebecca returned with Andrew to find Remus home.

"Hey Remus." Rebecca smiled as she took off her scarf and tossed it at Andrew's face.

"Hey." He yipped and she stuck her tongue out at him as she rushed over to Remus and sat down in his lap and kissed him.

"How was work?"

"Exhausting but I'm glad you're home. I see you made my pie." He smiled and she nodded. "Hey Andrew." Remus said with a small smile.

"Hello Remus." Andrew said as he sat down on the couch, opposite of the chair.

"Are you hungry?" Rebecca asked as she planted a kiss on his forehead.

"A bit."

"Would you mind leftovers?"

"Not at all."

"Alright I'll fix you up something to eat." She said and got up.

"I should be going," Andrew said as he got up.

"Alright well you better visit again soon." She said as she turned to him.

"Will do."

"Come on I'll walk you to the door." She said and Remus stood up and shook Andrew's hand.

"Good to see you again Remus, hopefully next time I will be able to see you a little more."

"Yeah hopefully, don't wait too long before visiting again."

"Believe me I wont." He said and followed Rebecca to the door.

"I'll see you later."

"I wish you could stay longer."

"I have work in a few hours, I should try and get a few hours of sleep."

"Alright see you soon." She said and hugged him tight.

"Bye Becca." He said as he pulled away from her and planted a kiss on her forehead before heading down the stairs.

"Bye Andy." She sighed as she watched him disappear by the tree.

"Sirius." A voice said from the bathroom. Sirius cracked open an eye towards the bathroom where Olivia stepped out dressed in nothing but his tee shirt. She was one of the prettier girls he had been with…besides well…Rebecca. She had a sexier beauty where as Rebecca had a more natural beauty. He had never appreciated the natural beauty until he had met Rebecca, always going for the girl with the shortest skirt and the most make up, just like Olivia.

"Hmmm?" He sighed as he buried his face in to his pillow.

"Tasha invited us to her cousins party tomorrow night, I hate the bitch but Derek will be there." She said as she brushed through her hair and sat down on the edge of the bed. The relationship between him and Olivia was, well, pure sex. He felt nothing for her other than the fact that she pissed off Rebecca to no end. "So you'll be by around eight right?"

Was this what his life had come to? Pining over some girl he could never have? It was all Remus' fault. If he had come back say a few weeks later he might have been able to win over Rebecca's heart but no, he had to return and she had to go back to him just like that. Did she not remember the way he had just left her the way he did? Did she not remember who was there for her when he did leave?

"Sirius?" Olivia said as she nudged him and he lifted up his head and looked at her.

"What?"

"Come by around eight to pick me up." She said as she got up and walked around the room picking up her clothes.

"Are you leaving?" He asked as he sat up.

"Yes, I have a brunch at ten."

"Its only eight." He said looking at the clock and running his hands through his hair and over his face. "Stay for another hour." He said as he flopped back down.

"I have some things I need to get done before brunch so I will see you later." She said as she walked over to him and leaned over him and kissed him, pulling away before he could pull her in to bed. "Remember eight o'clock tomorrow night."

"Will do." He sighed and watched her walk out of the bedroom, listening to the sound of the front door closing.

Rebecca didn't like her one bit. She was all over him all the time and it was getting very annoying very fast. What did Sirius even see in her?

"I have to go, I have a shoot in a few hours, I'll see you later on tonight." She said to Sirius as she turned to him and full on kissed him, which shortly turned in to a mini make out session, breaking from the sound of Rebecca clearing her throat. Why Remus had agreed to eat with them was beyond Rebecca. They couldn't have chosen a different restaurant?

"Please excuse me." Remus said as he got up wiping his mouth and disappeared to the back of the restaurant.

"You two are disgusting." Rebecca muttered as she looked down at her food she was pushing around her plate.

"I don't know what you're talking about."

"Well if you are going to be oblivious at least be a little less disgusting."

"Ooh someone sounds jealous." He taunted as he drank back some wine.

"Oh please." She muttered with a roll of her eyes.

"You are." He chuckled with a grin.

"Believe me I am not jealous…you weren't that great anyways."

"I do remember you being rather vocal at times." He smirked and she looked up at him with a glare.

"We're not going to talk about this."

"Oh we're just going to continue like it never happened?"

"I think that would be the best solution."

"Now that things are perfect you would rather live a lie." Sirius said as his grin slowly faded.

"Sirius you are starting to irk me."

"What would Moony say?"

"If you say anything I will kill you."

"How do we really know the baby is his." He said as he leaned forward and she gripped her fork and knife and glared at him.

"Well because I would not be having the baby if in the case it were yours." She sneered.

"I have to get going." Remus said as he returned.

"What?" Both Rebecca and Sirius said as they broke eye contact and looked at Remus.

"I told you, I have work tonight, did I not?" Remus asked Rebecca as he picked up his coat.

"Oh yes, of course." She said and looked at Sirius.

"I'll see you later." He said and pecked her on the lips. "Pads make sure she gets home alright?" Remus asked as he looked at Sirius who looked at Rebecca.

"That wont be necessary." Rebecca interrupted.

"You heard what nearly happened to Caradoc, I don't want to take any chances." He said and kissed the top of her head.

"I'll make sure she gets home." Sirius said with contempt and drank back the rest of his wine.

"Thanks Pads, love you Becky." Remus said before heading out of the restaurant.

"What is that supposed to mean you wouldn't be having the baby?" He asked as he leaned over the table towards her.

"I'm done, I'm leaving. I don't need your assistance." She said as she got up and wiped her mouth, taking one last drink of her soda water.

She made her way outside conscious of Sirius following her.

"What is that supposed to mean?" He demanded.

"Do you really think I would want something that would tie us together forever? Sirius I thought you had changed but you are really still the same arrogant, rich playboy you have been since I met you. Remus is a good man." She said as she headed down the street.

"Was I just some sort of place holder until Moony returned? Is that all that it was?"

"Come on Sirius don't act like you didn't use me either, it was a weird time for both of us, emotions flying around but none of it really meant anything."

"You must have felt something, can you honestly say you didn't feel anything for me?" He said as he grabbed her hand and turned her towards him. She looked up at him; she had never seen such an emotion in his eyes. She couldn't recognize it though it was strong as he looked at her.

"Sirius-."

"Did you feel anything for me or did you just use me?"

Did she feel anything for him? Perhaps at some point but a moment didn't mean she really felt anything for him. She thought he had changed but he had revealed that he had indeed not. What if she did feel something for him? Would that change things? Her mind drifted to the day on the beach, how perfect everything was for that one moment. It was at that moment she had considered a future but things had changed, it would never be the same again no matter what she felt.

"No." She said and his expression hardened. "Nothing at all."

"I see." He said and looked at the ground before taking a deep breath. "Good night." He said and walked past her. She turned around and watched him walk down the street before she looked around at the deserted shops around her and pulled her coat closer to her and continued down the opposite way and stopped as she looked back towards him walking down the street. He had truly looked pained but what they had had was nothing more than an emotional fling, surely he knew that as well. She heard something move in the alley next to her and she reached for her wand and looked more closely, noticing the silence of the streets. Suddenly there was the sound of a trashcan clattering and a cat ran out quickly, making her jump and press her hand to her racing heart. She shook her head to herself noting her paranoia from the war.

"All alone are we?" A familiar voice said and Rebecca looked over as Bellatrix stepped out from the shadows. Before Rebecca could pull out her wand Bellatrix had her own out and a red light raced towards Rebecca. It hit her square in the chest throwing her back before everything went black.

Sirius stopped at the corner and looked back and sighed to himself. It had cut like a knife Rebecca's words had. He was in love with her and she practically hated him, nothing had changed. He should probably see to it that she got home safely; Remus would kill him if she came back anything less than perfect. He walked back down the dark street, the street lamps barely lighting his way and he stopped when he saw something sitting in the middle of the street, Rebecca's red knit cap. His stomach churned as he felt his heart race as he rushed over to it. He picked it up and looked around frantically fearing the worst. He looked towards the stairs, which led to the lower courtyard. She laid at the bottom of the stairs, a small pool of blood under her head.
