Trouble [S.B]

20

Sirius Black was not one to often have dreams or nightmares when he slept, although when he did, nightmares would mostly plague his mind taking away any desire to sleep further. This time was no different, even if he didn't know how to classify this one.

Sirius found himself in a two story house, he could hear the crashing of waves right outside and he realized quickly that the owner of the house lived right next to a beach. He heard laughter and curiously he followed the noise. When he entered what was supposed to be the living room he halted in his step, for he knew that person quite well.

Noelle Moon was contently laughing in the arms of a man.

He didn't know what made him freeze in his spot. Either the fact that it seemed only a few years had passed over Noelle and she still looked as beautiful as ever, that she was in the arms of a man whose face was blurred or the little boy that was held between the two adults and was giggling and making gurgling noises. Sirius didn't know why but the baby could be no older than two years old, still he looked at him in amazement for he looked alarmingly familiar. For some reason he couldn't find it himself  to be angry or jealous, he didn't know why he just couldn't.

The couple was laughing at the little boy whose eyes were wide in wonder and would constantly put in his mouth the little stuffed unicorn he had in his hand. Sirius realized soon that there was music playing in the background and that the couple was gently humming to it and swaying to the beat, lulling the little boy to a state of sleep. Suddenly a song Sirius didn't recognize started playing and Noelle looked at the man with a wide grin and Sirius could only assume that the man returned the grin as he took the baby in his hands and laid it down into the soft yellow cot placed not far from them. When he turned around he quickly walked to a smiling Noelle and held her close to him, slowly swaying to the song.

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again 

He softly sung the lyrics right next to her ear making her smile widen only for him to hold her even more tightly against him. They kept swaying contently, basking in the few sun rays that seeped through the curtained windows. The baby was drowsy with sleep and constantly brought his tiny fist to his eyes to try and rub the sleep away, it seemed as if he wanted to stay awake to see the heartwarming moment his parents were sharing but it was futile, for he fell asleep seconds later.

How deep is your love,
How deep is your love
I really mean to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me 

The scene seemed to change in some type of fog and Sirius was caught off guard, he was too in trance watching the calm moment the couple was sharing just like the baby. This time they were in a room, there was a queen size bed in the center of the room with white sheets, another cot was placed by the foot of the bed, a vanity was placed next to one of the windows of the room and opposite the window was a closet. Numerous pictures were placed across the walls but Sirius paid them no mind as he watched Noelle enter the room, the man was already in bed, staring at the ceiling in fear. The baby boy was softly snoring in the cot, one hand sucking his thumb while the other held the same unicorn as before, even if there were numerous stuffed toys in the cot.

"Are you alright love?" Noelle asked softly as she got into bed next to the man, holding herself  up with one hand the other hand made its way to the man's hair, softly running her fingers through his hair as if she had done so, so many other times.

"It's nothing" he spoke and yet again Sirius was left with no clues as to who it was.

"Stop lying to me... I know you" Noelle had said his name but it seemed as if he wasn't supposed to know this person's identity.
