CHAPTER 52
*it had been almost weeks since Sev's pregnancy was confirmed. During those few weeks, Sirius somehow changed his demeanour a little, starting off by getting lesser and lesser in their intimacy, always coming home either tired or pale*
Severus would try but he felt like his pleas were falling on deaf ears. He started sleeping in his bedroom again and spend most of his time outside reading. Severus would spend time by the walnut tree in back yard crying rather than reading.
Paprika: *noticed the tension btwn the two again n wondered wat was going on. Sees Sev at the walnut tree today again n decided to find out* Severus? You alright there, luv?
Severus wiped his eyes. "Fine!" He snaped, hiding his head. "Just fine."
Paprika: *sat beside him* Master Black being neglecting again, I presume?
"We can't be intimate for my first trymester. He should go find him something somewhere else...WHAAAAAAAAA!" Severus started sobbing again.
Paprika: ~Here comes the mood swings~ *comes closer to hold him close* Now u knw Master Black would nvr do tht
"Then what is he doing? He comes home late and tired. He only even kiss me anymore. I doesn't care if I sleep in my room." He sobbed.
Paprika: Maybe you should confront him with it. Make him tell you, rather than sitting here bawling abt it. It's not good for the future Young Master in you, you knw
Severus nodded. "I don't think he wants me. He is just waiting for my child before he throws me out."
Paprika: I doubt Master Black is tht cruel. C'mon. Just confront him. Don't let him rest until he tells u abt it. Show him tht ur serious as a concerned wife should
"But I am just his slave. I don't want him to become mad and hit me."
Paprika: He won't hit u, not wen he knws u carry a child. Trust me. Give it a shot. Better to do something rather than regret not doing it, don't u think?
"Maybe."
Paprika: Atta boy, luv *smiles n pats his bk before leaving to do her chores*
But Severus was still depreased.
*later tht evening, Sirius finally came home, bt not through the fireplc, bt thru the front door. He looked worst than before, very pale, very drained n his face a little sunken in*
Severus was waiting for him in the bedroom, his hands shaking and stomach in knots.
Sirius: *enters to see Severus there at the bed* Hey, love *turns weakly to the bathroom*
"Why won't you even look at me?" He asked. His voice shaking.
Sirius: Not now, Sev. I'm tired...
"Your always tired. What about me? I am your 'wife' or are you having second thoughts about that. You just want the child don't you?" Tears started running down his eyes. "I love you! If you have fallen out of love with me then tell me."
Sirius: Sev, tht was just uncalled for. U have no idea wat I've been thru, so pls don't judge me right now. I'm not in the mood...
"What do you expect? When was the last time you kissed me on your own?" He didn't let Sirius answer. "Two weeks. TWO FUCKING WEEKS!"
Sirius: Stop it, stop it, STOP IT!! STOP BEING SO FUCKING CHILDISH!!! I...I... *his head was spinning, everything was getting black until he barely evn realized he crashed onto the floor unconscious*
"Sirius!" Severus ran to him and kenlt down. "Sirius! SIRIUS! Help someone help!" He put Sirius in his lap.
Paprika: *came up with a few other servants* Oh my god, what happened??
"I don't know he fainted. Please help him." He crying now. "Please!"
Paprika: I'll firecall the doctor right away! *turned to the other servants* You guys hurry up n help the Master to the bed while I make the call!
The servants helped Sirius in the bed. Severus sat next to him. The doctor came in a little bit later.
Paprika: Pls help my Master, doctor *pulled Sev gently aside to let him do his work*
Nurse: *quickly examines Sirius along with the doctor*
"We will, ma'am." The doctor made some opbservation. "Nurse what have you found?" He asked.
Nurse: *chks him out, then sees the sign on both Sirius' wrists* There seems to be a deep laceration on both his wrists, as if he had been given the Sectumsempra curse
"Dear. We need to remove all his clothes. Can I get some clean towels and hot water?" He asked of Paprika. "And I need everyone out of here."
"Please let me stay." Severus asked. "I don't want to leave him."
Paprika: Can he stay?
Nurse: *eyed at Severus, seeming to knw something abt this*
"Yes, you can stay, but step out of the way." The doctor let Severus move then was able to start taking off Sirius clothes.
Paprika: *ushered everyone to leave, then came bk moments later with clean towels n hot water as requested*
"Thank you, now you can go too." The doctor he nodded.
Paprika: *nodded n left, bt not before giving a good luck look at Severus*
Nurse: *removed his whole clothing n discovered more lacerations throughout his body, barely healing*
"Dear lord." The doctor swore. "What the hell....he shouldn't be even alive with all those." He takes the clean towles and the dipped them in water and started washing him off.
Severus gasped as he saw them and slid down the wall. "Sirius." He choked out and started to cry again.
Nurse: *examines the wounds n recognized the signature. Turns to Sev* You're a slave, right?
Severus nodded.
Nurse: How long has he been like this? How long before he just suddenly collapsed?
"He got home late. We were having fight and he just collapse."
Nurse: OK, slave, lemme rephrase tht. Did u notice anything odd abt him prior to this? How long ago was tht?
"A few weeks. He cut all intimate touching then a week later he stopped even kissing me. He has been tired and pale."
Nurse: Then tht explains it. Doctor, this is a rare case of the Freedom Ritual. He was going to free you, slave
"They do that? They could die in the process." The doctor shook his head. "We better notify the next of kin soon. I doubt he will live through this." He looked at Severus. "This is all your fault, I hope you know."
Severus just looked shocked.
"Nurse my bag."
Nurse: *nods n passed him the bag, n helped the doctor in whatever he needed to heal Sirius*
Sirius: *in the midst of his unconsciousness, his mouth moved a little, mouthing Severus' name inaudibly*
"Master?" Severus tried to come close.
"Back, Slave." The doctor pushed him back. "I am working here."
Nurse: *gives Sev a shake of the head before returning to help the doc*
"But he said my name." Severus mumbled.
The doctor worked as best he could healing and trying to repleniching his blood.
Sirius: *occasionally winced in his sleep as the doctor and nurse did his thing*
"How is he?"
Nurse: We're giving him as much blood as possible. The rest will be up to his willpower *puts away the instruments into the bag* We cannot estimate yet his chances of surviving the night. Does he have next of kin?
"I...I would not know...his brother is dead so...you would have to ask Paprika." Severus gulped falling back to the floor.
Nurse: Very well. Are we almost done, doctor?
"Yes. I have done all I can. All we can do it wait. I need to make a fire call." He walked out leaving the door ajar.
Nurse: I will go ask ur Paprika regarding next of kin *left as well*
Sirius: *lays there with tons of spell-cast bandages ard his body soaked in potion medication to try n heal the wounds*
Severus went over to the bed. "Master. Why didn't you tell me. I would have been happy with being your slave. I don't want to lose you." He started to cry, yet again. "What about your child? He needs you."
Sirius: *does not reply bt continues to sleep a little fitfully. It was a touch and go situation. He will have to survive the night or else*
Paprika: *came in moments later to chk on Sirius* I...I heard frm the nurse abt Master Black...
"Please just survive. I can't live with out you."
Paprika: Master Black is strong. He will. The nurse said his wounds should've killed him a long time ago, bt he came home every night without fail. He didn't do this just to die on you
"Who is his next of kin. I need to know who I need to run from. If the time comes."
Paprika: Well, there is the Malfoy family, since Mistress Black is his cousin. Bt both Mistress Black n Young Master Malfoy are in slavery right now...so there leaves Master Malfoy. They are unfortunately the closest to kin aside frm Mistress Tonks n two another Mistress Black. I think their name is Andromeda n Bellatrix
"I will not go with that man. I will run first." He put his hands around his belly.
Paprika: I wouldn't even let u go near him with a ten feet pole. I will help u get out went the time comes
Seveurs nodded. "Can I stay here with Sirius?"
Paprika: Alright. He needs you now more than ever. I will pray for him
Severus sat on the bed and took Sirius' hand. "You need to stay with me. We are to go to the doctor tomorrow. We can see our baby growing and maybe we can have sex. I want you here, Sirius. I need you."
Sirius: *breathing has slowly gone a little stable, bt not showing any signs of waking up*
"Our child needs you." He sniffed. "I will not Master Malfoy master I refuse too."
Sirius: *his head slowly adjusted to turn n face him, still unconscious*
"Rest and get well, Master."
Sirius: *again, his mouth moved, mouthing Severus' name inaudibly*
"Shh, rest."
*the event lasted all night. The doctor n nurse came hourly to chk on Sirius' vitals, n all the while casting blaming glances at Sev*
Severus stayed by his side all night.
