Short chapter, leading to another short chapter, leading to normal sized chapters again. The next part of the story has been written out for months, it's just a matter of me breaking it up properly. So we'll see what happens…expect a spam of chapters.

Thanks for the reviews, xXxKaraBeckerCutterxXx (I always love your reviews. :D), thewrittenword87 (Your feelings are correct.), and CharlotteBlackwood (Audrey should punch him in the face with a rock, you're right.)!

Hey…hey you! Yes, you! No, not you…the one behind you! Yeah! You! Review? :P

CHAPTER 92

The fall swept by us, the news was always the same, destruction and death…it seemed to follow us around.

My travels outside of England became less and less…some of my clients went into hiding, a few had been missing for months, and others were found dead in their homes. Even the world with the lavish double life I had led was falling to shambles. It had seemed that everything I had worked for in the last two decades only had the purpose of being destroyed in the end.

"AUDREEEEEEEEEEEEEEY." screamed a familiar voice.

Marlene was outside of their flat, banging excitedly on the door.

"Don't even have to ask her a security question." Audrey mumbled to herself, smirking. Marlene's behavior was always so different around her best friend.

As soon as she opened the door, Marlene hugged her tightly.

"Yes, m'lady?" Audrey replied, holding her at arms length.

Marlene wore a very excited grin, Audrey knew that face well.

"You have good news?"

Marlene nodded.

"Well? On with it! Spit it out!" Audrey nudged.

"I'M PREGNANT!" Marlene squealed.

There weren't words, just hugs and excited screams. Sirius had just apparated into the flat after being relieved of his shift.

"Oi! What is this?" He said, jumping around next to them, acting as if he were there all along.

Marlene did a lead around Audrey and Sirius and stopped.

"Remus and I are having a baby." She grinned.

"WHAT!?" Sirius yelled, picking up the blonde and twirling her around. "I'm going to be an uncle again?!"

That was the only good news that the season brought us, other than that we were all still breathing. As November flew by us, it became unseasonably cold…at least, that's what Sirius had told me. My tolerance of the winter has always been rather high after spending time in Russia as a child.

December of 1980 was by far the worst month that came with my dreams. I barely slept…

Audrey sat on the windowsill, looking outside at the heavy snowfall. Sirius watched her from the doorframe.

"Alright there?" He asked as he made his way to her.

Audrey turned, giving him a small smile.

"Yeah…I'm just happy to see it's snowing…but I just feel so strange."

"I'm sure it's nothing." Sirius said, knowing very well it was a lie. Sirius knew what today was, but he never mentioned it to Audrey. He didn't want to remind her of the pain.

"Merry Christmas, Audrey." He whispered, placing his lips on her temple.

"Merry Christmas, Sirius." She replied, turning back towards the window.
