Chapter Eighty-six;

Author's Notes: If you guys could, please leave a review telling me if I'm rushing through the pregnancy. I'm just so excited for the babies to be here. =D Am I the only one? XD By the way, since June 3rd marked 9 weeks (babies were 13-14 weeks in size) the 22nd would mark 12 weeks which means babies are 16-17. :3 Also, sorry for not updating. I've been rather busy, and my grandma/mom (I see her as a mother) is currently in the hospital. So, I just have had writer's block forever. And half of this chapter has been done for a long time and I just now finished it last night. Sorry again! This won't be ending for a long time; I have a few ideas still planned! And the starting of one idea is in this chapter. :P

[June 22nd, 1999]

Sirius shifted in the bed, throwing his arm over Severus who was sleeping… on his back. That wasn't normal. His eyes opened to the sight of Severus laying on his back, his body frozen and his eyes wide. Sirius sat up and waved his hand to turn on the light. "Love, what—"

"Shh!" Severus hushed.

Sirius frowned and rested on his arm to stare at Severus. He let a minute of silence go by before it began to bite at him. "What are you doing?"

"Shhh…"

"I will not shh! What the hell—"

"They're moving…"

Sirius widened his eyes. "Wh-what? Like…" He paused and immediately placed his hand on Severus' stomach, frowning when he felt nothing. "Love—"

"It's odd… like… butterflies…" Severus said, though he didn't seem excited, more like a scientist would to a new formula he found, or a potioneer to a new potion.

Sirius laid on his side, his head propped up so he could continue watching Severus. A grin threatened to play out on his face every time Severus' brows pushed together in thought. He wasn't sure how long he watched Severus before the man diverted his eyes to Sirius and gave a frown. "It stopped."

"Well, you can't expect them to move around in there all day…" Sirius grinned.

"I would like them not to move at all."

"Don't say that!"

"I mean… it feels like I'm going to get sick, but I don't…"

"Well, if you feel them moving you know they're okay." Sirius decided with a shrug of his shoulders.

"I suppose…"

"Tomorrow we're going to Pomfrey—"

"No we are not."

"Love—"

"No, I don't have an appointment until the end of the month and I will not step in there a moment before."

"I want her to know—"

"We'll tell her when I go for my appointment."

"Or we'll tell her tomorrow." Sirius smirked.

"No."

"Yes."

"Then no sex!" Sirius declared.

Severus snorted. "Fine with me," he said before turning on his side away from Sirius and closing his eyes.

"..." Sirius blinked a few times. "You know I was kidding, right?"

"Hmmm?" Severus hummed.

"You're not really going to deny me sex, right?" Sirius asked in an almost worried tone, placing a hand on Severus' back.

"Don't touch me, no sex until the babies are born."

"Wh-what?" Sirius gasped, widening his eyes. "Y-you can't do that!"

Severus turned back on his back, a smirk on his face. "Can't I?"

"I'll die."

"Oh, right, of sex-deprivation."

"Seriously."

"Who the hell is lee?"

"I will smother you with your pillow."

"I'm not into that kink, love…"

"Ugh…" Sirius groaned, wrapping both of his arms around Severus and pulling him to his chest. "Go to bed, bat."

"You smell like a dog."

"Thank you."

"… Mutt."

"Ruff."

"Cat."

"Meow."

"Husband who isn't getting sex."

… Sirius whimpered which caused Severus to laugh. "And they think I'm abusive to you…"

"I still married you for your money."

"You're a git."

"So I've heard," Severus snickered, nuzzling at Sirius' neck and nipping gently which caused Sirius to moan. Severus continued nipping and then licking and apology to the spot, slowly moving down to Sirius' throat, licking up the Adam's apple to his chin and placing a kiss there. "Do you know… what would be just great right now?" Severus purred, leaning down and nudging at his throat.

Sirius was now panting a bit before it clicked. Since when is Severus this affectionate? "You want food, don't you?"

Severus froze before smirking against his throat. "Well, now that you mention it I /could/ go for some chocolate cake…" he said in an innocent tone.

"Git," Sirius rolled his eyes, pulling out of bed and grabbing his pants and shirt from the ground to put on before heading out the door, ignoring Severus' laughter.

[Few hours later~]

"Hello, Lucius," Sirius greeted after he opened their chamber door to reveal the blond aristocrat in the corridor. "Come in, please," He said as he stepped aside. "Severus didn't mention he was expecting you."

"Hello… Sirius," Lucius greeted back after he stepped inside. "He wasn't expecting me. I hope I didn't drop in at a bad time? I just need to speak to him about the Apothecary."

"Oh, no. You're welcome to visit any time you want." Sirius smiled, closing the door. "Severus is in the bedroom. You can go on through."

"Thank you," Lucius smiled back before crossing the room and heading into the bedroom.

Sirius huffed and headed into the kitchen, ignoring the still bad feeling that would overcome him when Lucius was around. He smiled and ruffled Aidan's hair as he passed. "Want somethin' to eat?"

"I have cereal," Aidan said, holding the bowl up from his lap.

"Why was your bowl in your lap?"

"… I don't know," Aidan answered, acting ignorant to the fact that Salazar crawled out from under the table.

"Aidan, stop feeding Sal human food!"

"Hmph," Aidan grunted, taking a bite of the cereal.

Sirius grimaced. "No! That is ruined cereal now!" He said as he grabbed the bowl and poured it's contents into the trash.

"I was eating that!" Aidan argued.

"I'll make you a new bowl. A bowl which I am charming to not be able to leave the table until I release it," Sirius said with a quirked eyebrow.

"Sal was hungry!"

"Yes. Well. Too bad. He has dog food."

"Papa lets you eat human food."

"Oi! Don't say things like that again, am I understood?" Sirius said seriously.

"… Sorry…"

Sirius sighed and grabbed a bowl, pouring in some cereal and milk, his eyebrow quirking as he heard the fire flare from the living room. He placed the bowl on the table before stepping back into the living room to see a panic looking Narcissa and Draco behind her. "Hello, Nar—"

"Lucius—" She rasped.

"He's in the bedroom—" Sirius began to say and was interrupted by Draco bolting off to the bedroom door and pushing it open, looking around frantically.

"What's going on?" Sirius asked with a frown.

"I-I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, I should've seen he was unstable…" Narcissa said, tears falling from her eyes.

Sirius widened his eyes. "What? Who?"

"Father…" Draco said as he reappeared. "They're gone…"

"Wait, what's going on?"

"I'll go inform Albus, Sirius, I'm so…" Narcissa cut off, hurrying out of the room.

"What the hell is going on!"

"Father's unstable! Today mother found in his study books on Dark Arts. Ressurection, not inferi… actual resurrection. Notes on how to bring… 'him' back." Draco said, paler than usual.

"Wh-what?" Sirius stammered.

Draco diverted his gaze to the ground, ignoring the question. Sirius shook his head in denial, hurrying into the kitchen and picking Aidan up, ignoring his protests before walking out of the chambers and down the corridor in a hurry to the Headmaster's office, followed by Draco. He was just under a run as he came to the gargoyle, the statue not even wanting a password as it opened up and revealed the stairs. Sirius rushed up them and pushed the door open, staring at Albus who actually looked his age and Narcissa who was sitting in the chair, her pale cheeks stained.

"Albus…" Sirius said in a worried tone.

"I'll contact the Aurors," Albus said as he stood up.

"Wh-what exactly happened?" Sirius asked as he released a struggling and confused Aidan.

Albus scooted a piece of parchment to the edge of his desk before he left the room to firecall Aurors. Sirius stared at the parchment, his heart racing and his cheeks hurting from the frown on his face. He crossed the room and grabbed the parchment, reading over it. It seemed to be a ripped piece of paper from a book. His eyebrow quirked as he read each sentence slowly. As he finished, he paled and his hands began to shake.

"Daddy?" Aidan asked in a worried tone. "Father!" he shouted as Sirius fell to the ground, passing out from the shock of the knowledge revealed in the paper.
