Staar: I apologize for that. Don't worry. This chapter should make you (and anyone else reading) happy. I would have uploaded them together, but I didn't have the second chapter finished.

Chapter 36: A Young Boy's Wish
Sirius' head was buried into Remus' chest, he was silently crying into it, wetting his shirt. As soon as Audrey had given him the news about Andrew, he felt like his heart had blown up into a million pieces.
She had told him that Andrew was still young and her friend had assured her that he had been given the necessary potion to heal him. The disease was very manageable if caught at a young age.
"My friend tested him while I was under. He needs a potion every six months. He'll be fine because he's so young." She had tried assuring him.
Sirius couldn't help to think she was wrong though, after what happened to her.
"Shh, love." Remus said quietly. "He'll be okay."
"It's just so hard to believe... He looks so healthy!"
"Audrey did too. Remember?"
Sirius nodded, his face still against his boyfriend.
"And there's a cure." Remus kissed Sirius' head tenderly.

Severus came home to a weeping Audrey and instantly stiffened when he saw her sitting in the sofa of his living room, curled up a ball.
"I can assume how your visit went." He said coldly. "Do I need to pay a visit to Black?"
Audrey looked up with swollen eyes. She quickly wiped them away before smiling. "No. He's fine now. Well... about me anyway."
Severus cocked up an eyebrow. "And what has interrupted his perfect little life?" he sat himself next to her, and took her hand in his. "What did he say to you to make you cry?" He asked, tapping her hand with his other. Audrey was a strong woman, she hardly ever cried.
"It's not about Sirius." She sniffed loudly.
Severus swallowed hard. His heart clenched at the thought of his friend hurting. "Is it anything I can help with?"
Audrey shook her head.
"What happened while I was gone?" He pushed. "You were fine before I left this morning."
"Daisy came by..." She dabbed her eyes with a fresh tissue that she conjured up.
"Okay...?" Daisy was a decent woman. He didn't favour her animungus self, but the human form of that woman was really nice and easy to get along with.
"She had Andrew tested for Nemer's while I was sick." Audrey looked up at him, her lips quivering. "He tested positive."
That hit Severus like a snow storm in the Bahamas. He narrowed his eyes. "When did she do the test?"
Audrey shrugged. "As soon as she seen him perform magic. At Ted's, I think."
Severus nodded. "Audrey..." he said seriously, looking into her eyes. "Andrew is fine, he doesn't have Nemer's."
Audrey's eyes widened with hope. "How do you know?"
"Lily and I had him tested in May." He smiled. "We tested him three times to be sure. All negative results."
"Really?!" She gasped. "Then... he's a normal boy?"
"Well, a normal boy with magic abilities-yes." Severus grinned.
Audrey threw her arms around him, happily crying. "Thank you so much! You're the best person ever!" She pulled away, her face blushing. "Well, Lily is too."
"We knew early detection is important." He explained.
Audrey smiled widely, ectactic over the news. In a swift movement, she pecked her lips quickly to his, then giggled and stood up.
Severus' lips tingled from the unusual feeling of another person's lips against his, even if it was for a split second. "What was... that for?" He asked uncertain if he enjoyed it or disliked it.
"A thank you." She said simply in a whisper, pretending that it was no big deal. "I need to tell Sirius." she said grabbing her wand for departure.
"Use my Floo." Severus said absentmindedly, he didn't bother standing up; lost in a moment of that kiss and her soft, tender red lips. He stole a glance at them, watching them move as she spoke words that his mind wasn't registering. All he could think of was what it would feel like if he could kiss her for real.
He forced himself out of those thoughts. Audrey was his friend. Just like Lily.
He suddenly decided he needed a cold shower.
"That'll be just fine, Audi." Severus said quickly, standing up. "I have something to do now, if you don't mind."
He watched her lips form a smile and he surpressed a groan. Had they always been so sexy, and he just now realized it? Or had her quick touch to his ignited something inside of him all of a sudden?
It didn't matter. He was her friend, and he planned to remain that way. As she flooed to Black's place, he raked his hand through his annoying, filthy hair and scowled.
No woman in her right mind would want any other relationship with him besides a friendship. And he wasn't about to make her feel awkward over his sudden perverted thoughts of her.
He had done that enough with Lily.
Look where that got him.

"Daddy, why are you crying?" Andrew asked.
Sirius and Remus looked up to see Peter standing with Andrew, holding his hand.
"Is... everything okay...?" Peter asked cautiously, slightly uncomfortable seeing his fellow Gryfinndors looking so grim.
Sirius hurried to Andrew, picking up the boy and hugging him tightly.
"Ah!" Andrew squealed. "Too hard, Daddy!" He laughed as he gasped for air.
"Sorry, Smurf." Sirius laughed slightly, kissing his son on the cheek.
Andrew wrapped his tiny arms around Sirius' neck and gave his father a loud kiss on his cheek. "I got to feed a baby goat!" He said excitedly. "He went bleet bleet! And searched my pants for more milk." Andrew giggled in amusement.
"Yeah, they are demanding little buggers." Peter added, shifting his eyes from one friend to the next.
"Tweeters is up in your room, Andrew." Remus said. "Go up and say hi to her, and then you can help me make dinner."
"Yay!" Andrew cheered and Sirius reluctantly set him on the ground, watching him run off.
"So why so soft today?" Peter went straight to the point. "What happened?"
"My ex came by to tell me that my kid is sick."
Peter frowned. "What kind of sick? Like a virus? Should the other parents be alerted?"
"No, Andrew has a genetic disease that will make him sick with time."
"Oh..." Peter embraced Sirius, who was standing next to him, into his arms. "That's too bad, Paddy. I'm so very sorry to hear." He whispered into his ear. "Anything I can do, you let me know, alright? I mean it."
Sirius nodded. "Thanks..."
"You're all my family. Andrew too." Peter said pulling from him. He blinked back tears, and tapped Sirius' shoulder roughly. "You know we'll do anything for you."
"And, we, for you." Remus added.
"I am sorry I can't stay long, but I am supposed to return the rest of the kids." Peter paused. "He's a strong boy, Padfoot.... Don't give up hope on him. He'll fight whatever is thrown at him; just like his papa."
Sirius smiled. "Thanks, Wormy."
Audrey flooed in immediately after Peter left. "Sirius!" Her smile wider than ever before. "He's fine! Andrew doesn't have Nemer's! Severus and Lily tested him a couple months ago!"
"What?!" Sirius exclaimed, his heart picking back up in excitement. "Andrew's okay?"
"Yes! Andrew is perfectly healthy!"

"Hi, Tweeters." Andrew greeted, stepping into his bedroom, and walking over to the bird who swung on her swing in her cage. She tweeted with happiness.
"Uncle Peter said I could bring you home a treat." He reached in the pocket of his overalls and pulled out some sweetened grain. Tweeters flew out the open door of her cage and softly pecked the food from Andrew's hands.
"Do you like it?" He asked. "We tried some of it. It's not too tasty for humans, but the animals really liked it."
Tweeters bobbed her head up and down, showing her appreciation for his thoughtfulness.
He then took his companion for a walk as she nibbled on her treat and he made his way down back to Daddy and Remus.
He stopped dead in his tracks when he seen another person in the living room. A woman who was getting hugged by both Daddy and Remus.
"M-Mummy?" He asked in disbelief, afraid he was dreaming again.
The woman pulled from the men and started crying when she seen Andrew.
It was his mummy!
He ran to her. "Mummy!"
She had finally returned. After making a wish everyday to see her again, to have her come her and live with the magical people, Mummy had come back!
She kissed him over and over, wetting his face with her tears, but Andrew didn't notice. At that moment, he was the happiest boy on Earth.
Mummy was back!
