Review Responses:
Flandre-sama: Thanks for your kind words, I am glad my story has kept you busy and reading, hehe. Severus is my favorite character, I felt so bad for in the cannon. I know some people believe he doesn't deserve pity (not like he would want it), but I guess people don't understand what he had gone through. His only friend in the world literally turned his back on him (granted for a valid reason, but still, it must have hit him hard). Nice to see a new reader, btw :)
staar: Hope 14 hours is soon enough for you? If you're anything liek me though, probably not! hehehe
loisa: **clears throat and whistles innocently* I can't say nothing... But I will try to make quick updates :)
Jan: Yes, I wanted to make a good Slyerthin, so most of them in the cannon came across as horrid people. I know the author introduced some non-evil ones, but I wanted to introduce more :) And about Tweeters. I did that on purpose you know ;) I suddenyl made a minor character into a major one, hehe!

Chapter 32: A Simple Light Squeeze
Andrew stood in the bathroom, pouting with his arms across his chest. "No!" He said firmly. "I don't want to!"
Sirius grit his teeth in annoyance. For the past five minutes he had been arguing with the five year old to get him to brush his teeth. Andrew refused to do it, having had ran out of his Blue Plumberry flavoured toothpaste.
"I told you already; they didn't have anymore. I had to get you the cherry one. The same one Harry uses." He held out the blue toothbrush that had a pea sized dot of red placed on the bristles.
Andrew shook his head, clamping his mouth shut. "I want Blue Plumberry!" He shouted, stomping his foot.
"Well, you're not getting it!" Sirius shouted back.
"Yes, I am!" Andrew shouted back at him.
"Good God, what has gotten into you?!" Sirius demanded. "You're being a little brat!"
Andrew sniffed. "I don't like that stuff!"
"You don't even know that you don't like it. You haven't even tried it!" Sirius pointed out.
"Well, I don't want red! I want blue! Blue!" Andrew then ran out of the bathroom, screaming, "I want blue!" over and over.
Sirius sighed. Andrew had been a complete monster today. He was beginning to wonder if someone had switched his kid on him at the park. He had gotten in a fight with Ron over their Frog Squares game. He started a broom fighting match with Harry, one that Lily and Sirius had to break up quickly before anyone got hurt, and anytime Sirius tried setting him down for a time out, Andrew screamed like a banshee, refusing to serve it. And now the kid wouldn't brush his teeth because the damn toothpaste wasn't the color blue.
"Andrew!" He called out. "You get your ass back in here right now!"
He saw the boy run down the stairs to the ground floor. Sirius sighed and took off after him. "You are in big trouble!"
"No!" The kid screamed.
Sirius found him in the living room, standing behind the sofa. "If you don't brush your teeth now, you're never getting blue toothpaste again!"
"Then I will never brush my teeth again!" His son sneered in retort.
Sirius was taken aback with the snotty remark he got in return. Suddenly, he understood what his own mother had to deal with when he was a kid, as a memory similar to this flashed into his mind.
Remus flooed in then, and Andrew ran into his arms, surprising him. "Happy to see you-" he frowned when he saw the scowl on Sirius' face. "What's wrong?"
"He's being a little pissant today, that's what's wrong! A devil! A hellion!"
"Not Andrew..." Remus looked at the boy. "Is it true? You are not listening to your Daddy today?"
"No blue toothpaste." Andrew pouted.
"And that's just the beginning!" Sirius huffed. "You deserve a good paddling, I'll tell you that, boy!"
"No!" Andrew tightly wrapped his arms around Remus.
"I'm going to talk with Daddy, okay, Little Man? You go up to your room, now." Remus set Andrew down. "Sirius, we're going to talk."
Sirius rolled his eyes. Judging by that tone, he'd done something wrong again. "Whatever, Remus!" He grumbled, heading toward the kitchen for tea.
His boyfriend closely followed him, taking his hand in his. "Being a father can be very frustrating." Remus started.
"As if you would know!" Sirius snorted.
"That's a cold statement, Sirius." Remus said bitterly. "I'd like to think of Andrew as my son. He certainly considers me as a second father, and since you and I are a couple, I have been doing just as much parenting as you have!"
Sirius softened when he seen Remus' hurt look. "Oh, Moony!" He wailed, hugging the man. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean that! Andrew has me on the edge right now. Please, forgive me?"
Remus sighed, wrapping his arms around Sirius. "You really need to think before you say things, Paddy. Words can be very damaging. Calling your child names and threatening to hit him is not what Andrew needs."
"I-" Sirius paused. "Fuck." He whispered. "I did threaten to hit him, didn't I?"
Remus nodded, pulling from Sirius. "You can't say that stuff to Andrew, he's different than other kids."
"What do I do, Moony? He refuses to listen to me!"
"We should go see what's bothering our little boy, Paddy. It can't be simply because his toothpaste is not blue."
Sirius nodded. "Especially when he was acting up before the teeth brushing today."
When they went to meet Andrew, they gasped at the mess he had made. Since his stay, he had accumulated many items, and not all were blue. All the items that were not blue had been tossed into a pile in the middle of the room.
"What are you doing?" Sirius asked.
"Get back!" Andrew flung a toy at him, smacking him in the knee. Sirius cursed, and rubbed the sore spot. "You sweared you would never hurt me! You sweared it!" Tears ran from Andrew's eyes. "I don't want to live here no more!"
That hit Sirius like a cold, bitter gust of wind. He wiped his eyes, not willing to show a layer of tears.
"Andrew, Daddy didn't mean what he said, he is just very upset that you have been naughty today." Remus said gently, walking to the boy.
"I'm a good boy." Andrew whimpered, hugging Remus' leg.
"Yes, you are, Little Man, but today, you were not listening to Daddy, and little boys should always listen to their daddies."
"I want blue." Andrew whispered. "I don't want red! I don't want white, or pink, or green!"
"Why do you want blue?" Sirius asked. "What's wrong with the other colors?"
Andrew looked at his father. His face red from crying. Sirius stopped himself from going over to his son and taking him into his arms. He sighed heavily, royally confused on what he should do.
"I just want it." Was Andrew's reply.
"Andrew, do you remember how Daddy said that because you are a big boy you can go up to thirty feet high on your broom?"
Andrew nodded.
"Well, big boys also must learn that they can't always have what they want." Remus said gently.
"Yes, and it's not like I didn't try!" Sirius added. "I've been spoiling you too much, that's probably your problem."
Andrew's bottom lip quivered before hiding his face in Remus' robes.
"Ah, come here." Remus took the boy into his arms. "Now, you know Daddy isn't going to really hurt you?"
"He said he was going to paddle me!" Andrew argued.
"And you said you didn't want to live here anymore. Is that true? Do you really want to leave us?"
Andrew shook his head.
"You love us, don't you?"
"I love you and Daddy."
"When you said you didn't want to live here anymore, you hurt our feelings. Even if you didn't mean to say it. Your Daddy did the same thing when he called you names, and said you needed a paddling."
"He doesn't really think I am a pissant?"
Remus shook his head. "No, but when you don't listen to him and start screaming at him, you hurt his feelings."
Andrew turned to look at Sirius who stood in the doorway, watching the two. He squirmed from Remus who set him down and ran to Sirius.
"I'm sorry, Daddy!" Andrew wailed tearfully.
"Oh, Smurf..." Sirius scooped his son into his arms and lay the boy's head on his shoulder. He kissed his wet cheek. "I'm sorry too." He whispered.
"How about we get those chompers brushed?" Remus spoke up, smiling. "I have an idea."
Sirius carried Andrew into the bathroom and Remus came in after them, pulling out his wand.
"It may not be plumberry flavour, but..." he changed the toothpaste color to blue.
Andrew grinned happily. "Thank you, Remus!" He said as Sirius placed him down so he could brush his teeth.
Remus planted a kiss on the top of his head. "You're welcome, Little Man." He left the room then, leaving the father and son together.
"It's Mummy's color." Andrew supplied, as he stuck the toothbrush into his mouth to scrub his teeth.
"Blue?" Sirius asked.
Andrew nodded. "Mummy likes blue."
"Is that why you like blue, Smurf?" Sirius asked curiously.
"Yeah." Andrew tried spitting into the sink, but missed, splattering foam all over the faucet. Sirius quickly cleaned it with his wand.
After Andrew was settled in bed, Sirius told Remus about what Andrew said to him in the bathroom.
"Of course..." Remus said musingly. "The whole blue thing is a connection to his mother. He could be acting up because he misses her. The red toothpaste may have been a final shove for him."
"Still doesn't warrant him to be a brat!" Sirius grumbled.
"Well, we still have three more months before we hear from Audrey. Hopefully those speed quickly by for Andrew's sake."
"And for my sake too, Moony!" Sirius said, raking his hands through his hair.
* * *
"Comfortable?" Severus asked from the door way of Audrey's room. He wore a pair of loose robes over his sleeping clothes.
Audrey smiled at his modesty before nodding her head. "Perfect." She said tiredly. "Thanks."
"Netti."
Audrey gave him a funny look at his simple word then jumped as a sudden crack happened. It had been several years since she had heard a house elf apparate it.
"Master Severus!" Netti greeted excitedly as she bowed.
"Tell me, Netti; is your children independant enough for you to spend a few months away?"
"Oh, yes, Master! Bunns and Runns is now in training to serve the Master Severus. Gibbs has been doing this." The friendly house elf rocked on her feet proudly.
"Then, if you do not mind, my friend could use a nurse maid until she is able to do things on her own again, are you capable?"
"Oh, yes, sir, Netti is, and Netti would gladly to help Sir's friend!" she bowed in respect, grateful that her Master gave her a task to do.
"Alright then, whatever she needs, get it for her." He paused to look at Audrey. "And do alert me if she tries to remove herself from this room." To Audrey, he said. "I could summon a second one just to keep a pair of eyes on you, so just... try and be patient."
"I am a prisoner now?" She her jaw dropped in disbelief.
"Not at all. You're here to relax and heal. Your body can't handle strong magic right now." He walked to her bedside and took her hand. "Andrew needs his mother, Langston needs you, and, Audrey, your friends need you too. I promise as soon as you're strong enough, we'll take action against Ted, but we can't do that if you run off before you are able to handle such stressful situations."
Audrey nodded, agreeing with her friend. "Okay, Severus." She said with a whisper. "I'll do it."
Severus smiled. "Thank you, Audrey." He went to pull his hand from her but before he did, he squeezed it encouragingly.
Audrey smirked at the gesture. "Since when-"
"Oh, just be quiet!" He grumbled, slightly embarrassed. "Your son." he explained quickly before stalking out of the room.
Audrey's grin grew wider. She never thought anyone besides Lily would ever be able to get that certain wizard to show his affection for others. She sighed. "I miss you, Andrew, you little wand of miracles."
