Dominique was sitting in the clothes she'd had on earlier for her meeting with Harry, and twenty-three instant pregnancy tests were sitting in various locations around the bathroom. She was leaning up against the wall opposite the door. This was crazy. Was there something which could feasibly cause a false-positive twenty-three times?

She sighed as she put the phone down on the counter above her, hugging her knees. Things were suddenly all too real.

Sirius did not know what to think as he went up the stairs. Dom was obviously ‘freaked out’ and Sirius was not sure why. Was she pregnant? Well, she wanted to be pregnant, so maybe she was not. He shook his head. There was only one way to find out. He did not know what to think about both outcomes himself. After that little chat with his favourite buddy Petersen the pregnancy itself did not sound so bad anymore but he wasn’t sure about the baby. Why wasn’t there a way to become pregnant without a baby popping out of you nine months later?

When he reached the bathroom, he found that it was locked. He frowned. “Dom, are busy in there? Or is this your way to show me that you don’t want to talk to me anymore?”

Dom had forgotten that she'd locked the door before asking Sirius to come. At the voice, she started, but then stood up, slowly walking over to the door. She took a few deep breaths before unlocking the door and opening it. "I forgot that I'd locked it," she said quietly as she opened the door and looked at Sirius, clearly rattled.

She had been the mature one, but now she didn't know what to do, how to proceed. There was no Mungo's to go to here. Everything would have to be done the muggle way and while that worked for most of the population of earth, it wasn't something Dominique was looking forward to. "So. Er. Hi." She wasn't quite sure where to start.

Dom looked like the epitome of confusion and the room was not much better. Weird sticks were lying everywhere. Sirius knelt down and picked one up. Weird sticks indeed. “Are you trying to redecorate our bathroom?” he asked with a breeze of humour in his voice. “Maybe you can make something like a chain out of it and hang them on the wall?”

He leaned against the doorframe trying to look relaxed which was far from what he actually felt like. It was as if there was a storm going on his inside. Dom could change his whole life with two single words.

"No, prat, that's the muggle version of a pregnancy test. I took, er, a lot of them," she said, a hollow, nervous laugh escaping her. She wasn't sure it was a laughable situation. Maybe in a few days she'd laugh at herself. Dominique looked over at Sirius who looked like a combination of nonchalance and nerves.

"So, er, the box said a plus is pregnant and a minus is not." Sirius had the stick in his hand still. Perhaps he could look at it without her having to say the words. Dom wasn't sure how she felt about this anymore, so she wasn't sure how he was going to feel either. She was shaking just a little bit as she looked over at him.

Sirius looked at the stick in his hand. He guessed that was a plus. He looked around the ones on the floor. It was a whole flood of pluses. “So, positive means pregnant, eh?” Sirius asked, frowning. Otherwise his face was emotionless and besides his heart beating as loudly as the stumps of an elephant, he was emotionless inside too.

Dominique nodded, biting her lip. She was examining that frown, unsure of what to say, what to think. She was freaking out and right now she needed to know how Sirius was going to react to all of this. Dominique was ringing her hands as she looked at him through nervous eyes. "Is that a bad frown?" she ventured to ask.

Sirius stared at her. He had thought that he had been prepared for this. Petersen had said that this way Dom would be safe, at least for the next nine months. This was good. “Err… what?” Sirius asked baffled. “I don’t know. It’s just… much. I guess.” He shrugged and scratched the back of his head. “But we can’t change it anyway so it doesn’t matter…”

Dominique's eyes welled up, wanting to punch him or hex him. 'We can't change it so it doesn't matter' was not the response she was hoping to get. An outright positive or an outright negative was fine. She could deal with that. This utter nonchalance was frustrating. "It matters to me, what you think, you sodding ass." Yes, Dominique was cursing. And not crying, even if her eyes were shining with what might soon be tears. She could blame pregnancy hormones. "I'm flipping out over here and you're so sodding ambivalent about everything." Dom turned on her heel, scooped up all of the pregnancy tests from varying locations and threw them angrily in the trash.

What did he do wrong now? He had tried to stay calm but obviously ‘calm’ wasn’t right. “Alright!” he said angrily. If she wanted him to be angry then she would get it. “I can scream too, you know. For once I wanted to be bloody reasonable but if you want a shouting match, you can fucking get one. I don’t think I’m bloody ready for this. I don’t think I’m ready to take over the ready to be responsible for someone who depends on me. I don’t know if I can do that! I don’t know if I won’t just flip out if that child won’t stop screaming for hours. That doesn’t make me the best father on earth, does it? You happy now?” He glared at her.

To be honest, Dominique likely would have started yelling at him for almost any sort of response. She was scared and her only way to alleviate that fear was to take it out on him. Dominique tried very hard to blink away her tears as she glared back at him.

"Happy? You think all that makes me happy?" She stormed past him, making to pack a bag to stay at Elena's. She wasn't going to be yelled at! "I wish you'd just be flipping honest with me straight out, Sirius. I'd be happy if you told me that without bloody yelling! I'm terrified that I'm going to be an awful mother, ruin this child's entire life, disappear mid-pregnancy and leave nothing but a half-grown baby in my wake. I don't need your anger right now. Really, I don't."

Why did she pack again? First she wanted him to not be calm and now suddenly yelling was not alright either. What the bloody hell did she want? Ugh, women!

“You told me to stop being ambivalent! So I stopped being ambivalent! And I can tell you at least as much.” His voice started to become calm again. “You won’t disappear. Petersen told me that he has a better… grip on pregnant women because you are two or something. So, you won’t leave a half-grown baby behind.”

Dominique stopped getting her clothes together and listened to Sirius, wiping her eyes haphazardly. That was at least a slightly better idea.

"I'm scared, Sirius. That's it. Plain and simple. I thought this all through and I thought I knew what I wanted and now I'm terrified."

“And you think you can stop being scared if you run away to Elena?” he said frowning. He really did not understand her. But it hurt to see her so lost. He bit his lip and tried to squeeze the last bit of anger out of him.

“Alright, look…” Sirius stepped forward and pulled her into an embrace. “I’m terrified too. And unless Petersen decides to get bored of me we are in this together. Alright? Just don’t keep running to Elena… that really doesn’t change the situation.”

Dom frowned. It wasn't about stopping her fear, it was about being distracted from it. If she wasn't here, thinking about it, then she wouldn't have to worry about it.

As Sirius pulled her into an embrace, Dominique didn't fight it. She wrapped her own arms around him tightly, burying her head in his shoulder. "No, but sometimes she's easier to talk to. She doesn't start yelling at me." Usually. "And if Petersen gets bored of you, I'm going to fucking kill him," she said calmly. It was just a matter of fact. "But I'll try. I tend to avoid problems rather than confront them."

Well, he couldn’t argue about that. “Well, I guess you are right. I am probably the only one she screams at. Must be a girl thing… this screaming at me. McGonagall always did that too.” He pulled out of the embrace to look her into the eyes. “But please, just promise to talk to me. I can’t fix things if I don’t know what they are.”

It was good that he could focus on Dom's worries and problems that way he did not have to think about his own. Even though they were connected at the moment but just the mere thought that they were Dom's made it more bearable. He wanted to help her and maybe he would. He wasn't sure if he could help himself.

"Must be a Sirius thing," she teased back before he looked into her eyes. She nodded solemnly. "I promise to talk to you. But can you promise me something? Don't shut me out with the macho man merde. I want to know if you have qualms or issues or doubts. Please."

Dominique sighed slightly. It might have been asking him a bit too much. "But maybe in a calmer way?"

"Haha", he said sarcastically though he thought she was right. Remus never got screamed at. Lily only ever screamed at him and James. "Err.. well, I can try, I guess." He doubted it would work. He rather kept his worries to himself. "Both I mean. But I'm not usually known for my patience. But I'll try..." And he would. He would never try for any other person. But if James had changed for Lily, maybe he could for Dom...

Dom leaned in and gave him a quick kiss. "Thank you. I mean, I'd rather yelling feelings than not hearing any feelings." She had to put that out there, though, because she'd rather Sirius communicate with her somehow.

Sirius smiled at his girlfriend. It was the right time to make Laura proud. Even if he still wasn't ready to shout it from the top of a roof, he could at least say it and not just write. "You know, regarding those feelings: I love you. I really do", he said completly honest. Yes, he hated being vulnerable but he had learned that he was vulnerable nonetheless over the past few days. Saying it out loud would not change that.

Dominique hadn't meant that he needed to express himself that way. She knew how he felt and it was not easily within his personality to say such things aloud. Merlin, it was hardly within her personality to do so either. But even though she was still terrified and jittery, the three magic words had calmed her down in a way she didn't even know was possible. Dom couldn't help beaming at him a little bit. "I love you, too, Sirius."

“Well, anything special we should do today? Maybe unpacking?” Sirius teased her. He had done his share of talking about things like feelings and craved for some normality. “Or do you still want to visit Elena? We could head over there together if you want?” He leaned forward and whispered into her ear. “I don’t really want you in the same cabin with Damon without me there, you know.” He winked at her.

"I was wondering if I could borrow the map so I can work out a special spell for her to track her pets?" she asked. Dom wasn't quite ready to see other people yet. She needed to calm down a bit more. Get her head together. "I - er- mentioned to Elena that I was taking the test and all but...can we hold off telling most people until after the first trimester?" Dominique had taken the time between tests to research on the internet. "The incidence of miscarriage within the first trimester is so large that I don't want to tell people and then jinx it." Also, she wanted to delay telling this to Victoire, Teddy, Izabella, Lily Luna, her father who she hadn't really spoken to enough yet...

“Of course you can. If you need help, just ask me, it’s in my bedside table”, he said. Sirius was confused why Dom wouldn’t want to tell anyone else. He had imagined that she would be thrilled but blurt it out to everyone. Obviously he had been mistaken. “Alright. You could talk to Lily though. She’s a witch and she’s been pregnant before.” He shrugged.

When Dom mentioned the probability of a miscarriage, Sirius frowned. If that baby decided to cause so much trouble now, it should better be born. “Nah, that won’t happen. I’m sure. You know I could ask Gabriel if he could do something to prevent that… I’m sure with so many angels around that baby is safe.” He was not ready to say ‘our’ baby yet.

She nodded. "I should be okay, but I might need to ask about a charm." She had the theory down of what she wanted to do, it was just the spell itself. But she was generally decent enough at charms to make it work. Dom nodded. She should definitely look into talking to Lily. "When I tell Vic and everyone..." she was going to ask him to come with her, but she wasn't even sure she wanted to tell her sister in person. "Can you help me decide how to break the news?"

Dominique gave Sirius a sharp look. "Please do not say things like that." She wasn't sure how this all was going to work, but she was getting used to the idea of this baby slowly and saying a miscarriage wouldn't happen was the most surefire way to make it happen. "Do you think Gabriel would be willing to do that? Make sure it stays fine?"

“You want me to help you break the news?” He laughed shortly. “You know my way of breaking news, right? I don’t think there is a better way than just telling them. And I think the faster you do it, the less they will get hurt.” He smiled encouragingly at Dom.

What had he done now? He had just wanted to reassure her and now he got this look again. “Yeah, I’m sure Gabriel would be willing to do that. I always got along with him and his girlfriend Laura is my friend. That last thing alone should make sure that he is willing to do that”, he said cautiously, not wanting to stumble into another trap again.

That was true. Sirius was straightforward and blunt. "I just. I don't want their judgment. I'm an adult, I know, but I don't know what they're going to think." About the fact that she was having a baby in general, or having a baby with Sirius.

She nodded. "Well if Gabriel is willing to do that, I'd appreciate it a lot. Whatever he could do. I haven't met your friend Laura yet." She recalled her name but she didn't recall running into her.

"Well, love, there's only one way to find out. Tell them and you'll know. Otherwise you keep worrying and have to tell them eventually anyway. And thus will still find out, just with a lot of added worry in between." It was easy and simple. Why would anyone prefer unnecessary worry when they would have to do it eventually anyway?

“Laura is pregnant too, so I think you two would get along. If you want to meet her…” Sirius suggested. Dom and Laura were so different in many things but he doubted that they would not like each other. And maybe Laura could lift some of Dom's doubts.

Dominique made a small whining sound. "How about once I find out for certain more than these muggle sticks. Something like a blood test or a magical test?" Yes, she was still putting it off, but she didn't want to tell her family.

She quirked an eyebrow. "Your main personality trait about your friend is that she's pregnant. And therefore we must be able to get along." Boys. "I would like to meet her, though, if she's your friend."

“I don’t trust muggle things either. I’ll ask Lily if she knows something… or do you want to do that?” he suggested. Sirius understood very well that Dom preferred a magical test. You never knew how these muggle things work.

“Err…” Ta-da… he did it again: Walked right into a trap. If women wanted they could even hold an ‘I love you’ against you. “It is the most obvious one and you have that in common. She loves to tear down doors. But I doubt you have that in common”, he added. “And she berated me once. You definitely have that in common. Is that a better trait?”

She nodded. "If you could, that'd be perfect. I'm still working my way up to telling people, regardless of if I know them well." And speaking to her uncle's dead mother was still a little odd to her. It shouldn't be, given that she was dating Sirius, but it was nonetheless.

Dominique grinned. She was teasing him. Sometimes it was hard to tell with her. "Tear down doors, hm? No, I can't say I like that. But someone who berates you? I can't say no to that. What'd you do that she started berating?"

“Alright, I’ll do it”, Sirius said and then laughed slightly. “Why are you more scared than I am right now?”

“Hahaha… see that’s why I like you. You never stop making fun of me. And you do a very good job of it, too. I’m a big fan.” Sirius smirked at her. “So, I finally see why you and Elena get along so well. Berating, huh? You must love Lily then.”

He frowned at the last question. He didn’t really want to talk about it but he just needed to ask the question. “Laura? She said that I made you feel insecure with my behaviour…”, he whispered to her shirt. When he looked up again, biting his lips. “Am I doing that?”

Dominique shrugged, uncomfortably. "Probably because you're a Gryffindor and you lot are brave, and I'm a Ravenclaw and can't help but overthink everything."

She grinned widely at him when he said she wouldn't stop making fun of him. It was just too entertaining to be honest. She was having too much fun with it.

Dominique was confused as to his question. "What behaviour?" she asked, noting the worried look on his face. "I don't know what she's talking about, but I can guarantee you, Sirius, that if I'm insecure it's my fault and not yours." She leaned in and pecked a kiss at his nose.

Sirius laughed. “Yes, we are brave. But only when we can risk our life! I’m actually quite runny when it comes to commitment. But I guess you have noticed that”, this time he decided to talk to her shoes. They were nice shoes. He liked them. “That was the thing Laura meant. She said I shouldn’t be so scared.” It was one thing to admit that he was scared in front of Dom and a completely other in front of Laura. Laura was just too much like James in some parts.

He smiled as she gave him the kiss on the nose. “Just tell me if I really hurt you, alright? Of course only if it is my fault.” He smiled weakly.

"You haven't run just yet," she said, noting that he was looking at her shoes rather closely instead of her face. "I think to be honest, I've been doing most of the running." Running straight to her best friend in this stupid place. She was certain that it should've been her sister she was running to but things between the two of them weren't settled. Dominique felt more comfortable talking to Elena about things. "It's okay to be scared. Nothing to fret over, you know." It was nice to know that she wasn't the only one who was scared. "Being scared means you care enough to actually, you know. Have feelings about things. Worries and all that."

Dom smiled slightly at him. "You mean tell you and not just run off to Elena? If you really hurt me, I'll tell you loud and clear, Sirius. You'll be the first to know." But to be honest, she wasn't worried about it.

“Alright. Let’s agree on this: We both try not to run.” He nodded, more for himself than for Dom. That sounded like a good plan. He wasn’t sure if it was a realistic one though. He had never had a relationship that lasted longer than two months before and never shared a bedroom with a woman. And in this case it was also a pregnant woman. He sighed. That was commitment overkill. But whenever Sirius started to do something it somehow got out of line. Operation ‘relationship’ had got out of hand. Sirius chuckled at his own thoughts, not quite sure whether they were funny or just frightening.

“Yeah, I mean not running to Elena. Two girls exchanging their feelings never leads to something good.” He shook his head, pressing his lips together.

She nodded along with him. "Let's try." It would be difficult for the two of them to do it between Dominique and Sirius. But who knew with the two of them.

Dominique frowned at him. "No running to Elena. You know, you might regret this, but I'll go straight to you first." An angry part-veela wasn't something you wanted against you.

“Good”, Sirius said. The look on Dom’s face made sure that he was certain that he would regret this. But once said there was no backing out. He was sure he would get yelled at pretty soon.
