[This chapter contains scenes some readers may find upsetting like self harm and attempted suicide]

Remus looked up at his fiance, a wide smile plastered on hid scarred face.

 " I'm going to be a father...?" He asked, wondering of this was all true. The pink haired woman jumped up and down, squealing and nodding. He was going to be a father. 

Was he even prepared to take on such a responsibility?

He was only twenty seven.

His smile dropped as he looked at the girl.

 "Dora, I can't. I need to tell you something. something important." She nodded and looked up expectantly at him. "I- i - I love you?" The woman physically relaxed and took a hold on Remus's hand and placed his palm on her flat stomach.

 " We're going to be parents, Moony!"

He smiled forgetting about his and Sirius's little problem.

-

Sirius sat on the floor in his bathroom, the floor and sink dotted with small, crimson spots. He'd been in this state since Remus had left. If he'd known about Remus and Tonks, he'd have left he scarred man alone. But, alas, he'd been a fool and hadn't noticed the gold band sitting snugly on the man's finger.

He looked down at himself, his left hand red and sore from washing away his own blood, his right clutching a small, blue handled object.

He held it up in front of him, the bathroom light reflecting off of the shiny red splatters that dropped from the rectangular blades. He smiled sadly, bringing the razor down onto his already cut up wrist. He pulled it back, wincing when he say the deathly pale skin pull up between the blades.

His eyesight started to fade, dark and light spots eventually took over his vision as he passed out.

-

About an hour later, There was a knock at the door, It was Remus. He'd just returned from the Café, deciding to tell Sirius the news about his and Tonks's new unborn baby.  He knocked again. No answer. The man became increasingly worried when something heavy from upstairs crashed onto the floor.

He knocked about four more times, all without an answer. He knelt down onto the patio, reaching under the doormat, like he'd seen Sirius do many times before, and pulled out an old fashioned, black house key. He unlocked the door and stepped inside, the empty hallway smelling damp and of alcohol. Hanging up his coat and scarf on the racks, he paced throughout the house, his heart racing as he couldn't find Sirius in any of the rooms. He burst into another, a bedroom with a well made bed, mahogany bedside table and oak wood floor. The room was covered in dust, seemingly it hadn't been used in years.

He closed the door gently and continued with his search for Sirius, eventually coming across the oak door to the upstairs bathroom. He noticed a small, crimson patch of wetness seeping out onto the grey carpet and his eyes widened, preparing his shoulder before he bust the door open.

He was shocked.

Laying directly next to the door was his now only best friend, Sirius Black. Remus couldn't help but check the man's pulse. It was faint, but there. He gently pulled the unconscious man into his arms and grabbed his phone out of his pocket, dialing the emergency services number.

"Hello? Nine nine nine speaking, how can we help?"

"It's my friend, Sirius. He's bleeding out!"

"Alright, Sir. We encourage you to stay calm and not to panic, please tell us your location so we can send an ambulance."

"We're at twelve Grimmauld place in Godrick's Hollow."

" We'll send an ambulance straight away sir."

Remus hung up, looking down at his friend, he smiled through his pouring tears and hugged the lifeless body close to him.
"I'm scared, Padfoot. I'm scared I'll loose you"

The door downstairs was harshly opened and loud shouts sounded all around the mansion.
"Is there anybody here?"
"We're in the upstairs bathroom"
The footsteps sounded up the staircase, eventually two men and one woman were standing next to Remus, the men lay Sirius on a stretcher and carried him downstairs as the woman tried her hardest to calm the panic-stricken man down.

Eventually, Remus passed out from the stress.

-

When he woke up, his eyes caught those of his beautiful fiance, Tonks. She looked extremely worried yet happy he was awake. He noticed he was in his own bed, at their shared apartment. Tonks was sat on a chair, holding a bowl of what looked to be chicken soup. He smiled up at her sleepily
"Was it all just a dream?" He asked, slightly dazed. Tonks's smile dropped and tears started leaking down her pale pink cheeks and into the soup.

" No, Remus. It wasn't a dream. Sirius is in hospital."
