Chapter 20:

They were at hospital for hours now. Draco was sitting on the waiting room's chair, looking at Harry who was anxiously pacing the floor and was cursing under his breath. Thankfully, there were in the small room, and no one could hear Harry's rather colorful words. Draco was feeling tired and he was really, really worried about Hermione, but Harry's constant swearing was getting on his nerves.

"Harry, will you calm yourself down already? You are getting on my nerves!" snapped Draco at Harry.

"Shut it Draco, you don't know a thing! She's been there like forever! Is it that hard…that long to get the baby out of you?" said Harry and looked at Draco intently, desperately searching for an answer that might help him to calm down.

"I don't know Harry; I've never given a birth to anyone, being a boy and all," drawled Draco, and stood up walking towards Harry and cupping his face, looking deep into his endless emerald green eyes, "But I can tell you this, Hermione is a strong woman. She can get through this and you have to be strong for not only her, but for her baby boy too. After all, she's going to need our help too to raise him, right?"

Harry looked at Draco and felt a big surge of passion and uncontrolled love towards the blond haired git, as he said those words. "I love you," whispered Harry and cupped Draco's face in his hands, bringing him down for a kiss. "I love you, I love you, I love you," mumbled Harry between heated kisses.

Their moment together was cut short, as the doors to the waiting room burst open and in walked a drunk and messy Remus Lupin. His eyes were wide and he was breathing hard.

"D-did I miss anything? Is she alright? How's the baby?" he asked this in one breath.

"What are you doing here Remus?" asked Harry, his eyes wide with shock. Seeing Remus like this was shocking for him.

"I…I..." Remus didn't know how to answer to Harry's question. He sighed and then sat at the chair cradling his face in his hands he took calming deep breaths. "I came here tonight Harry because I wanted to check something…"

"What exactly are you going to check?" asked Draco, his voice a bit harsh. Harry frowned at his tone, but didn't prevent him from sounding a bit rude.

"That's…that's not something I want to talk about with you at the moment Draco," replied Remus, still not looking at them.

"Then you should leave. Hermione wouldn't want you to be here tonight! And by the way, if it escaped your notice, Remus, you've been married. To Tonks. And you should be there, not here! Does she even know that you are here?" said Draco heatedly.

"I'm sorry, but I'm not going to tell you why I am here, nor if Tonks knows where am I now. Alright?" calmly said Remus.

Harry grabbed Draco's arm and squeezed it, shaking his head at Draco, preventing him from talking to Remus at all, he said "I think it's best for you to live now Remus. I know that you want to be here, but it's best for you to live. You've hurt Hermione enough already and if she knew that you've been here, it might upset her more."

"But Harry…I have to be here tonight, in order to find out if I was right in my misgivings," said Remus and looked up at Harry, "and I was…then I'd be forever cursed for choosing the wrong."

Harry looked at Remus hard, ignoring the disbelief snort that left Draco's lips. Something was telling him that Remus had a real important reason to be here tonight, and he did the only thing he could; nodded his agreement and letting Remus stay with them.

"Are you mad?" Draco asked him as they sat at the far end of the room, beside each other.

"No, I'm not. I'm doing the right thing here. Draco, don't you understand? In this whole mess, Hermione isn't the only one that has been hurt. Remus was, is hurt. Don't you think the only way he can relax is him being here tonight? Seeing his son for the first and dare I say, last time before Hermione will take him away forever from him?"

"Harry, I know what you mean, but don't you think it's still not fair to Hermione doing this?"

"Nothing is fair to the either party at the moment, Draco. And imagine this whole mess in reverse; what if it was us in their places?" Draco shuddered at the thought. "What if it was us being separated by something that we couldn't possibly prevent from happening?"

"I'm thanking the God's above that you've made your move on me, because I couldn't possibly go and marry with Astoria, not loving her and all. Being miserable for the rest of my life and not knowing love," said Draco, a small smile curving at his lips. "And the fact that I was craving for your attention all these years and now us being here means a lot to me, Harry. And I see what you mean by saying that. I couldn't afford me to be staying away from you and not being hurt in the progress."

Harry smiled at him in return and hugged Draco close to him, "Thank you for being understanding, Draco. I know it's hard for you, but you'll have to give him a chance just for a few hours, and after that you can go and hate him again."

Draco laughed softly and kissed Harry's head.

"He is healthy and a beautiful baby boy that I've ever seen in my whole life!" this was the first sentence that Sirius said as he burst into the waiting room, arousing the occupants of the room awake.

"What?" asked Harry sleepily and blinked several time to squint at Sirius's beaming face. Then his eyes widened and he and Draco scrambled up to their feet, "She had the baby? Oh my God!"

"She had the baby…" whispered Draco, as if he couldn't believe that it actually happened. After all these years of crying and hurting and pain, she had finally produced a child. He was shocked. He had to see her with his own eyes to make sure that he wasn't imagining things. "We have to see her," Harry nodded and took Draco's hand in his. Sirius smiled at them and told them where she was; they took off immediately.

Sirius snorted under his breath and turned around, finding him looking at Remus's bloodshed eyes. He had been crying, and he was still crying. Sirius sighed and walked towards his friend, sitting right beside him; he took Remus in his arms and held him as he cried again.

"He is mine, Sirius…he is mine… I've a baby…" whispered Remus, between small whimpers of tears and crying.

"I know Remus, my old friend, I know. But why are you torturing yourself so, hm?" murmured Sirius, and held him incredibly tight to him, not wanting to let go of him yet, not till he was sure he wouldn't break into pieces.

"I j-just wanted to be sure, if he was mine or not…and I can feel that he is mine…" mumbled Remus at the crook of Sirius's neck, sniffling.

Sirius sat there for a moment, and without thinking about it twice he said, "Would you like to see him?"

Remus pulled back sharply and looked at Sirius with wide eyes, "W-what? S-see h-him?"

Sirius nodded and smiled at his friend's hopeful face. Remus swallowed hard and thought about it. He could see his son; he could hopefully hold him for a minute or two, maybe for the first and last time. And he could even…no, don't even go there! He scolded himself as he thought that he could see Hermione too, but he couldn't. Hermione would kill him. She even would kill him if she knew that he had been here tonight. It wouldn't do well, if she knew about it. He'd hurt her again. And he didn't want it to happen.

"She won't know…" Sirius whispered as if reading his friend's silent battle of the will. "Come on," said Sirius and stood up, offering a helping hand to pull Remus up on his legs.

Remus immediately knew which one was his. They were currently standing in the hallway before a glass window, watching the small squirming pink and blue bundles' of the babies. A small wondrous smile graced his scarred face as he saw his son wide awake squirming this and that way, eyes wide, finger moving this and that way, mouth opening and closing, kicking with his small chubby feet. The nurse came and inspected him; she took him in her arms, and walked him towards the small table for the babies, quickly changing his diapers she walked into the next room, which Remus couldn't see. He got worried. He turned around to ask Sirius where did they took him to find that he was alone in the hallway, where was he? After a moment of looking back into the room and down the hall, he watched as Sirius's head poked out of the door next to this room, and indicated Remus to come to him.

Remus, puzzled slightly, walked towards Sirius. Sirius moved to the side and let him go in. His baby was there, in the arms of the nurse that came and took him. He stopped in mid-walk and just watched his son in the arms of a stranger.

"Go on," he heard Sirius urge him forward and he did. Walking slowly to the rock-chair at the side of the room he sat on it and the nurse placed his son into his arms. The baby stopped squirming, a small gurgle leaving his small lips.

Remus looked at his son, his face akin to the one of a wonder. The baby in one word was gorgeous. He was chubby, with small amount of hair, and when he opened his eyes they were brown. His mother's… A small tear escaped Remus's eye as he watched his son, closing his eyes, getting a bit comfortable in his father's arms, and sleeping. Remus started to rock back and forth in his chair, gazing at his son, taking every little change that the baby was showing to him, marking it all in his mind. He looked up and saw that Sirius was watching him, his eyes sad and happy at the same time. Remus nodded his head and a silent thank you, which Sirius waved away with the motion of his head. Remus understood the gesture; he did not need to thank his friend. He could only give him this small precious moment, and that was it.

He didn't know how long he sat there, but the nurse came an hour ago and took the boy from him in order to take him to his mum. Remus sat there and cradled his face into his hands, thinking of what a big mistake he had done of marrying to Tonks. He could have this sweet moment with Hermione now, not feeling guilty for breaking the unspoken rules him and Hermione had. He was feeling guilty that he was going to keep this a secret from Hermione. He wasn't feeling a small amount of guilt towards Tonks, because in a way, it was her fault too. She had come back to his life, declaring that they could start over; they could have the perfect life. But he was positive that they wouldn't have it… at all.

Hermione was sleeping when Sirius walked in to her room, the baby's crib was at her side close to her own bed, which was sleeping too. Something stirred inside of his heart at the sight of them both sleeping together. This was technically his family. Kate would understand him completely, after all they were friends. People might think that they were together, but they weren't, they understood each other more only by staying friends, and nothing else. And Remus's words kept ringing inside of his head. "Take care of her, of them Sirius…" In some odd way Remus was giving Sirius a permission to be with Hermione, in what way he desired.

He shrugged off his jacket, took off his shoes and crawled in bed beside Hermione, spooning her from behind. She stirred and turned slightly blinking up at Sirius she mumbled sleepily.

"What are you doing here?"

"I came to be with you Hermione."

"With me?" asked Hermione, puzzled.

"Yes, with you. I'll be there with you. I'll be always with you," he murmured to her, caressing her cheek with his finger. He couldn't help but admire the way she turned her face into his touch, kissing his palm and sighing contently.

"Kiss me…" Sirius complied immediately, not thinking about it twice. The first touch of their lips was quite euphoric. It was gentle and caring, almost…loving. Hermione kissed him back with the equal gentleness, not hurrying it, not trying to make it more passionate. Hopefully they would have time for that kind of kiss in the future. The kiss ended with a small sigh of relief from the both parties and they turned into each other, Sirius holding Hermione tight to his chest, and between small pecks of kisses sleep took them over to a relaxing slumber.

As Remus Apparated in front of his small shabby cottage he couldn't stop the memories running wild in his head; the moment Hermione first came to him, the moment when they made wild love in his bed, the moment she told him about her past, the moment they had a lazy day in his bed, them having breakfast, taking shower having a hot steamy sex in the way, having a mud fight in his garden, reading books together by the fire, creating their baby…

Nathaniel Jasper Granger. That was his name; his son's name. Sirius told him Hermione chose them because she thought that the baby was a gift of God for her, and she was going to worship him as if he was a treasure; which he was indeed. A gift from God; so apparently Hermione didn't hate him as he thought she did, because he was sure that she'd name his son a normal name with no meaning to it all, but he was wrong, once again he was wrong.

Remus closed his eyes as he neared the door; he could smell someone else inside of his house. She did not have the same scent as Hermione had. It wasn't as sweet as hers. It was a bitter smell, which he did not like. Remus inhaled and exhaled slowly trying to will his breaking heart to subside its frantic beating, his emotions overwhelmed his senses and he crumbled to the floor and started to sob quietly into his hands. He had failed it. He had destroyed his life. He had given her to his best friend. He had lost the love and family that he so wanted to have, and he had to find it now in the hands of a woman that he did not love.

And he welcomed the pain that rippled through him like a sharp knife, welcomed the hurt, he was familiar to it. He curled up into a ball, right in front of his front doors, numbness and sorrow quickly exhausting him into a deep and restless sleep to the night's cold air.
