Little Moonfoot

We're Pregnant

Two days after Alice and franks wedding, Remus and Sirius received a letter on the Muggle post. It was from a Muggle clinic along with a note from Marlene asking them to be there by five o' clock next Friday.

"This is happening moony"

"Yes. So soon. I never expected it to be so soon"

"Are you ok with this we can decline if you don't want to" Said Sirius turning to look at Remus. Remus looked at the excitement in his husbands face over getting a child and he knew that Sirius wanted this as much as he did.

"Why would I do that? Of course I'm terrified of the prospect of getting a baby but that's why you are here right so we can do this together"

"Yes" said Sirius placing a light kiss on his lips " together" another kiss "always".

Together was what he wanted more than anything. And it was certainly more than anything the fourteen year old boy crushing on his best friend had hoped for. Together, Remus could do anything.

Remus immediately began researching about the clinic and how everything worked while Sirius left for Auror training with a wider than usual smile on his face that day.

At sharp five o' clock on the next Friday evening Remus and Sirius sat on a couch in the reception of a Muggle hospital clutching hands.

"She's late"

"I know moony calm down."

"What if she does not want to do this anymore?"

"Then she would have told us earlier. Like a normal person"

"But do you think she's normal giving her baby off to a gay werewolf and Sirius Black. Shit?"

"What moony she does not know about your furry little problem and as for me, I am Sirius Lupin-Black now."

The last part brought a little smile to Remus's face. "We need to tell her pad foot"

"And why"

"Because we are going to become the fathers of her child and she would not want to give away her child to a monster like me."

Remus and Sirius had been swallowed in nervousness, dread, reassurance, curiosity and happiness over the last few days in that order. When they had woken up this morning, they had been so full of nervous energy that they had camped in front of the hospital since noon. But Remus hadn't thought about his werewolf problem yet. For once in his life he had gone almost a whole week without thinking about it. Of course they had thought of what they would do on full moons, lily would be more than glad to babysit for the night.

"Ok we will tell her but don't worry moony this is Marlene after all not any random woman."

"ok." the thought that they might not get the baby that all the excitement of the past week had been for nothing was devastating to moony.

"Hey look there she is" said Sirius.

Marlene walked up to them with a smile on her face. "I hope I haven't kept you waiting long" she said.

"No we just got here" said Sirius

"Marlene here is actually something we need to tell you" said Remus

"What? One of you is not a secret serial killer right?" she joked

"It's serious Marlene"

"What's wrong with Sirius?

"Not Sirius merlin. I'm a werewolf" said Remus

"Hahaha so funny now let's move on shall we I don't have all evening"

"He's telling the truth marls" said Sirius.

Marlene looked at their serious expressions and slowly the truth sunk in. "you're a werewolf?" she asked.

"Yes"

"When did this happen rem" she asked placing her hand on his shoulder.

"When I was four."

"Four? But... but how? How did you come to Hogwarts?"

"I transformed every month in the shrieking shack" he said in a low voice.

"And no one knew of it?"

"Well... all the professors knew. And the marauders. And now, all the order members know."

"I can't believe we don't find out Remus. You were sick all the time. We should have known."

"He had some help." Said Sirius

"Marlene I understand if you don't want to do this anymore. I know I'm a monster—"

"Hey none of that Remus. I know you. You are one of the most kind, caring and awesome person I have ever met. Just because you turn into a wolf once every month does not mean you're a bad person the rest of the month. Sirius can take care of the baby on full moon nights."

"Well actually, lily will babysit during full moons. I'll be with Remus"

"He lets you be there? But how? Werewolves kill human's right."

"What if I'm not a human" said Sirius with a smirk.

"Oh my god are you also a— did Remus turn you" she asked, horrified.

"No I'm Animagus." Said Sirius.

"Oh ok" she said.

"So you still want to do this" asked Remus in a small voice.

"Yes I do. Unless you guys have changed your mind"

"No we are ready"

"So you guys know how this works right?"

"Yes moony looked it up"

"So do you guys want to both do it or—"

"No Sirius will do it" declared Remus"

"He's afraid that some of his 'wolfieness' may be passed on" explained Sirius.

"Alright then come on sires" she said and pulled him to the reception desk.

A brown tabby owl soared in through the kitchen window and landed on the table where Remus was having breakfast and dropped a letter from its beak. Remus picked it up and his eyes widened.

"Sirius's" he shouted.

"I got a letter from Marlene. Sirius comes down right now"

Sirius came dashing down the stairs "what does it say moony? Read it"

Remus ripped open the wax seal and his eyes widened. He looked up at Sirius with the hugest grin he's ever had "she's pregnant" he said.

A sound that seemed like a cross between a squeal and a shout escaped Sirius's mouth.

"She says she'll come by this afternoon"

"We'll call James and peter too"

"We're pregnant" said Remus with a small smile.

"Yes, we are" said Sirius pulling Remus towards him and kissing him passionately.

An-I know I haven't written an authors note in a while but I wanted to inform you that the Surrogacy Act was passed in Britain in 1985 which is five years after the events of this chapter. But I'm going to roll with it because it's an important part of the plot.
