Somekind of cure I guess...

Disclaimer : Aside from the plot I've created, everything from Harry to Voldie belongs to our dear J.K.Rowling so don't sue me!
Pairings: Harry/Luna and Remus/Severus and others.
Others: AU. Don't like, don't read is my opinion. Little too short for my liking but a next chapter will come as soon as possible...

Chapter Three: Family Business


" I will be off then, gentlemen." Madame Pomfrey chirped at the pair. " I for one have the doubts that you, Severus will be actually capable of parenthood, but I think that an old dog can always learn new tricks, don't you agree? Hopefully your teacher side of you won't attack the kid too much. Oh, and Remus you are supposed to eat a little more of those vegetables, dear. I am going to visit you every month, just to ensure that you and your baby are completely fine with no worries in the pregnancy. And don't matter about the extra weight you are going to have. Nothing can ruin your gorgeous body."

Remus blushed and Severus laughed a little placing a kiss on Remus' cheek.

" What about morning sickness? Will there be something done to it?" Remus asked and looked a little green.

" You can not take anything to it. You just have to suffer it, I am afraid. It will go away by itself, don't you worry. It will last for three months at the most and two weeks at the less. I don't know really. I could contact my colleagues from around the world and ask, if they knew something about this kind of pregnancy. And you're a werewolf. I don't know will it affect your baby, too. Perhaps it will give you pains or then you won't be changing at all or you will just transform with the baby turning into a she-wolf or...all right I'll stop guessing now. All I can say now is I haven't got many experience in male pregnancies. Morning sickness comes always somewhere around when you are about a month pregnant."

" Okay." Remus said feeling a bit nauseous about the whole situation and thinking about the transformation.

" Will there be a training for the soon-to-be dads and - moms?" asked Severus eagerly from Poppy. Poppy smiled.

" In the last two months of pregnancy there will be four lessons or more when needed. You will learn everything from top to bottom. I will send you a list of things you will needing for the baby, if you like, so that you won't be needing to think through things" said Poppy. " But now I must be off. I left a Healer student to take care of my patients. I must see how has he done when I was away."

" We'd really like to see that list, when it's time," Severus said and hugged Remus not-too-tightly and kissed him on the mouth.
And then she was out of the door and they could hear Harry's feet shuffling in the lobby along with Poppy's.

" Severus? I don't know if this is a good idea..." Remus said pleadingly at Severus and smothered a cry when he looked at him angrily.

" How is he?" Harry asked as soon as Poppy was out of the room where the two adults still were.

Poppy smiled mysteriously. " It is not my place to say anything to you. I am sure they will say something to you about it. I must go. Talk to them, if it bothers you that much." she went to the front door, opened it and closed it and a loud crack was heard. She had Apparated.

Harry went cautiously to the door of the room and opened it slightly. His ears were met by angry talking.

" I don't know Severus. I'm not sure I'm ready!"

" You're not sure you're ready? You are not sure you're ready? You're going to have a baby. With me. He or she is mine, too! You just can't go and-- and murder it!"

" And I'm not sure, if it's even yours! I was with Si-Sirius before he died! You can't just demand me to have it!" Remus shouted and smacked Severus' cheek.

"I'm sorry baby, but if it is mine, I'll hold on to it and even if it is Sirius' I'll hold on to it. He or She would be the last of the Black line!" Severus shouted back and forced Remus to look at him. " Do you really want to kill your baby just because it could be Blacks? I don't think so. It would be a reminder just how much you loved him in the old days."

Remus started to cry in earnest. He was so fucking confused. He didn't plan a baby. He hadn't planned anything but to fight in the war and perhaps, if he made it, then plan something ahead. But no, not a baby. Definitely not a baby. And he still felt like cheating to be with Severus.

" Err... excuse me, but would you tell me what are you arguing about 'cause I don't really like to see Remus cry that bad." Harry said softly to the two adults.
Severus quickly swirled around. Remus stopped crying. Well, a few hiccup here and there. Then Severus said to the tense silence.
" How much did you hear?"

" A bit. About a baby and err...well that's much about it." Harry said and cast his eyes downwards to the floor.

" Your 'step godfather' is pregnant, for your information." Severus snarled to him.
" What? He's what?!" Harry's eyes searched Remus'. He returned the glance. " Yes, it's true. But I'm not sure will I keep it! " And with that he ran out of the room and to upstairs to his bedroom. A loud bang of door closing was heard. Then the bang was followed by a clicking noise.

Severus glanced at Harry. " I truly hope that you're able to bang some sense into him because I'm not so sure, if I can."

" I mean... just look here. I love him. Only love can produce a baby between two males. That's why I know that he loves me too, even if he doesn't know that." Severus said. " A baby is...a new thing to me, but I'm willing to do the best I can. For him and the baby. And err... because you're Remus' 'step godson' I'd...like to become friends. Just for the sake of Remus." Severus looked at Harry and Harry saw truth in his eyes.

" All right. I'm willing to bury the grudges behind." Harry said and offered his hand which Severus shook.

" Now to the main problem: Remus." Severus said and led them out from the living room.
