…………
"Sirius?" James asked tentatively. The two were sitting on the sofa in their room at Hogwarts. It had been two days since Sirius had woken up in the infirmary, and finally, Madam Pomfrey had allowed him to leave her constant care.
"Hmm?" Sirius asked quietly.
"Remus told me that…" James sighed. "That you were pregnant."
"Oh," Sirius said quietly.
"I'm sorry, Siri. Gods, I am so fucking sorry I was so horrible to you. I should have been there for you!"
"We've been through this, James. Hell, you've been trying to apologize for the past two days. I should have told you I was pregnant at the time."
James shuddered and put an arm around his husband. "Siri, I was so wrapped up in Harry and Lily then. Remus said you tried to tell me, anyway."
"I guess I did," Sirius mumbled. "But you were wrapped up in them, and I didn't push it. I should have just forced you to listen. I'm sorry, James."
"You're sorry?" James exclaimed. "Siri, I'm so-"
Sirius clamped his hand over James' mouth. "Please stop apologizing, James!"
James nodded and removed Sirius' hand from his mouth. "What happened to our child?" he asked quietly.
Sirius folded his arms across his chest. "Being a prisoner in Azkaban and being pregnant don't exactly go together."
"Siri, what happened?" James asked desperately.
"I had a miscarriage," Sirius whispered. "They treated me like shit, the dementors were always swarming around me, they barely gave me any food and water…a baby can't survive that. I barely did at first…especially when I lost our child."
And then Sirius started crying. James tightly wrapped his armoundound his husband and the two started sobbing for everything they had lost.
………..
"Harry, you have to give him a second chance," Sirius said as he stared at his godson. "He really does love you so much more than you can possibly imagine."
Harry nodded his head. "I know, Sirius. I guess it's just hard to think about how different everything was from what I always believed."
"I'm sorry, Harry, I should tol told you everything a couple years ago when-"
"That's not what I meant, Sirius," Harry interrupted. "It's just going to take some getting used to. In the meantime, I just want to spend time with you. I've missed you so much."
Sirius hugged Harry and ruffled his hair. "Promise me that you'll spend some time with your father and get to know him, too, Harry."
"I will," Harry said quietly. "I guess I'd better get to class before Hermione kills me."
Sirius laughed and watched as his godson walked down the hallway. He was startled when he felt a hand on his shoulders. Sirius turned around and found himself face to face with his husband.
"Dumbledore wants to see us," James explained.
"Can we floo from our room or somewhere on this wing?" Sirius asked. "Otherwise, I'll have to go as Padfoot."
James sighed. "Merlin, Siri, w goi going to find that bastard so that you can be free again."
Sirius snorted. "Unlikely. As long as I can be with you and Harry, I'll be okay."
James' forehead crinkled. "Don't you want your freedom?"
"More than you can possibly imagine," Sirius replied quietly. "Let's go ahead and see what Dumbledore wants."
…………
Dumbledore smiled when two of his favorite people stepped out of the fireplace.
"What did you want to see us about?" James asked, brushing off ashes.
Dumbledore's eyes twinkled. "I have some wonderful news, I do believe."
"What?" Sirius asked, immediately looked curious.
"A certain rat as been brought to me," the Headmaster explained.
James' eyes widened. "Peter?"
"Indeed."
"How?" Sirius questioned.
"Draco Malfoy brought Pettigrew to me this morning," Dumbledore said.
"He did?" Sirius said, surprised. "But I thought he-"
"Was just like his father?" Dumbledore supplied.
"Yes," Sirius said.
"Apparently he isn't. He hasn't agreed with Lucius' beliefs for a long time now. It seems he feels extremely guilty about his past actions. He came to me for help, but we're not going to get into that at the moment."
James and Sirius looked at each curiously, but decided to let the topic go.
"In the meantime, I have contacted the ministry, informing them of Mr. Pettigrew. Sirius, I'm not sure if a trial will be necessary or not, but I promise-you will be freed."
………..
(One day & several vials of Veritaserum later.)

"I can't believe you're finally free!" Harry exclaimed as he flung himself at his godfather. "And that bastard is in Azkaban!"
Sirius returned the embrace tightly and placed a small kiss of Harry's head.
"Aren't you excited?" Harry asked.
"Of course," Sirius replied. "I'm just feeling really tried and weak right now."
"How much Veritaserum did they give you?" Hermione asked curiously.
"Too much," James replied with a scowl.
"Too much can make you feel really sick for a few days," Hermione said.
"How do you know?" Ron asked, scowling. "Is it true, Sirius?"
Sirius nodded his head while Hermione glared at Ron. "If you had read-"
Ron held up his hand. "Not right now, Hermione. Please."
Sirius laughed. "Look, I do feel sort of sick right now, but I'll be okay tomorrow morning. Thank you all for coming to see me, though."
"You're welcome," Hermione replied.
"Sirius, Dumbledore told the entire school that you're free," Harry said happily.
"That doesn't mean everyone will believe him, but maybe some will. Thank you again for coming. I think I'm going to go to bed now."
After Sirius had left the room, Harry looked at his father curiously. "Is he okay?"
"I think so. They forced an awful lot of Veritaserum into him. Much more then they gave Pettigrew."
"But that's not fair," Harry said quietly.
"No, it's not," James replied. thinthink Sirius just feels really sick and exhausted. And he's worried that people won't believe he's free."
"But they have to believe it!" Ron exclaimed.
"They will eventually, I hope," James said. "Good night, you three. I'll catch up with you tomorrow."
Harry smiled at his father and quickly left the room, followed by Hermione and Ron.

A/N: This was sort of a transitional chapter. This story started out with a lot of angst, but it has to take a turn now. It's the 250 member story, and I have barely incorporated anything from the polls into it yet! The three things from the polls that still need to happen are: 1) Harry walks in on James & Sirius having sex; 2) Remus joins Sirius & James one night; and 3) Draco likes Harry & goes to Sirius to talk about this. So, as you can see, the story won't continue to be filled with as much angst as before, although it will still have some.
