Regulus Black Stories

A Brother's Revenge end

A/N - we often mention Sirius leaving, but know I also appreciate his journey. This is fiction. People who stay in abusive situations for one reason or another Are important and deserving of love. People who leave and escape from abuse are also valid and strong they aren't selfish. I do wish he would've at least tried with Regulus, but I know what it is to live in survival mode.

The days were bleak without her. I didn't go to anyone else. I threw myself into my studies. Every time I saw her with my brother my heart hurt. I hadn't even really known her had I? But I felt like I had. She'd swept me off my feet from day one. I wanted to get to know her better.

She met me outside the prefect bathroom with mascara streaming down her face. She looked furious at me. I hadn't bothered her, so I couldn't understand.

"You fucking asshole," she sobbed. She looked too thin, but bloated as well. Her skin was ashen. She looked sleep deprived and weak.

"What?" I asked in shock.

"I'm fucking pregnant," she snapped. Euphoria made me nearly stumble. Pregnant? A baby, our baby. I was instantly obsessed with a small me and her. I'd never had these thoughts before. She wasn't just a fuck.

"That's wonderful," I beamed.

"Wonderful?" She snapped. "I'm dating your brother."

"You don't have to be," I pleaded. " I have money, even if you don't love me, let me take care of you and the baby." I said and placed my hand on her stomach. She softened for a moment, but then turned back into diamond hardness and slapped my hand away.

"Sirius has money too," she shot back.

"No he really doesn't," I said sadly. "Why do you think I'm trying to get back at him? He abandoned me in a hell hole. He lives with the Potters."

"They're loaded as well," she snapped.

"Come on, don't you feel the same? Why would you even cheat with me if you didn't feel something?"

"I regret it," she said viciously. I knew she didn't mean it, but it hurt.

"You don't," I pleaded.

"I wish I'd never touched you!"

"I love you," I said. She looked horrified and backed up. She ran before I could get her. The next month was especially miserable. I knew she'd broken up with Sirius, but she didn't come to me. I tried to keep any form of contact. I worried about our baby, but then one day, I realized I didn't know for sure.

I went out of my comfort zone and I cornered her in the library. She looked so gorgeous, small bump, loose hair, focused on books.

"Are they mine?" I asked in desperation. She jumped, hand going to her belly immediately. I wanted to kiss it and sing to her and read to the baby. I was so young, but I needed it all with her.

"The baby?" She asked.

"Yes," I said intensely.

"Yes," she admitted.

"How did you know?"

"There's a spell," she said slowly.

"Can you look at me?"

She walked away. I fell to my knees in the library. I curled into a ball. After a month or two she was showing more and I was thinking of everything I'd never have. I'd never see their face for the first time at St. Mungos, I'd never hear people tell me what a young dad I was, I'd never pick out tiny onesies, I'd never babyproof a house. Of course I was also thinking of all the things I'd never have with her. I'd never get to sleep next to her, I'd never get to support her, I'd never get to rub her belly and feel the baby kick, I'd never get to make love to her to show her how much I still desired her, even pregnant.

"Ms. Y/N, please bring your presentation," called professor Binns.

"We were supposed to write a report on an amazing witch or wizard. My report, is on Regulus Black," she spoke.

I sat up in my seat. I was staring into her eyes desperately. She wouldn't look at me.

"Regulus Black is the youngest member of the ancient and most noble house of Black. His line has had many dark wizards and cruel people. Though most people think of Sirius Black as the brother who defected, but I think we need to credit Regulus. He is still stuck in his parents house, and he actively objects to them. He was at the pro muggle rally several weeks ago, he stands up for elf rights, and he is actively experiencing the consequences of this. Sirius is away from the trauma, Regulus lives and breathes in the world he was born into and defies it. He forces people to look at their actions, not just say "oh that boy went bad.""

I was staring at her avidly. My muscles were taut. I felt my heart swell. I couldn't stand not running to her. She was everything as she stood there, paper in one hand, the other on her belly. She was protecting the baby we'd made.

"He has defied all odds. He may have a revengeful streak," she said, and she actually smiled at me. I was weak.

"But he has a pure heart. He is rich, well off socially, and has the world at his fingertips, yet he offered a home and love to a girl he just so happened to knock up."

I swallowed hard. She wasn't just some girl. She was everything.

"That girl is me, and Regulus, I love you more than words can say. I accept you as father to our child, and as the love of my life. I'm sorry I took so long to realize it."

I ran up to her and spun her around. We were making out furiously. I didn't care that Professor Binns cold hands tried to separate us. I was never ever leaving her again.

"I love you," I said with tears in my eyes.

"We're so young, but I'm so ready to have someone to trust. I want to be a family," she sighed.

"This is fucking bull shit," I heard Sirius say. I smirked, the perfect revenge came with the perfect girl.
