"You two are being stubborn!" I yell up the stairs, not sure which on of the two was up there.
I'd heard that they had another fight, worse one of them all I'd gotten a letter from Maddie saying that she needed me to send her stuff to the new apartment and I knew that the fight must have been pretty bad for her to move out, being pregnant and all.
Plus her leaving the house, it was extreme, she loved this house. I knew that, and I knew Ian knew that.
I had brought Fay over and was currently rocking him in my arm before calling back up the stairs,"You hear me?! Stubborn!"

"Yes, can hear you, thanks," I reply, deliberately not looking at him as I come out of the living room, dragging my bag behind me, "I don't think there's anyone up there anyway."
I was just picking up a few things before I left, not just the house, but this place in general.

"Again with this running thing man," I mutter, grabbing his bag and putting it down next to me,"No. Your not doing it."
Fay makes a small crying noise, reaching out to Ian to be held."Here." I mutter, handing him to him,"You really wanna run from that?"

"No, I really am," I argue, then hastily put my hands up as he tries to hand the baby to me, "Yes, yes, I do."
Liar.

"No, not letting you," I say sternly. Fay makes a sort of gurgled cry and keeps reaching out to be held,"I'd take him if I were you, when he doesn't get held he cries pretty loud."

"And why I should I listen to you?" I reply, then look down at the baby before finally taking it from him.

"Cos you know I'm right," I say, crossing my arms over my chest, then nodding down at Fay."Look at him, just look at him."

"You're not right, you have no idea," I mutter, then chance a glance down at Fay before looking back at Sirius again.

I ingore him, leaning slightly against the wall, watching him.
Fay reaches out, grabbing one of Ian's fingers, holding onto it."Look at that, he likes you." I mutter, then head over to the door,"Blondie! Get in here!"

"Fuck, Sirius, don't!" I say immediately, feeling vaguely guilty after I've realised what I've just said in the presence of his son but shrugging it off.

"Oi, he's two days old doesn't need to learn that til he's at least 10." I hiss then turn back around,"You need to see her mate, can't keep avoiding each other forever."

I had no clue what I was doing here, all I knew was that Sirius has sent me a letter saying he wanted me to meet his son. Why I couldn't have done it at his house was beyond me.
I walk up the path, and see the front door is open slightly. This can't be good.

I turn back around, grin tugging at the corners of my lips,"Just the girl I was looking for," I say, grabbing her lightly by the wrist and pulling her inside.

I let him pull me inside, but stop when I see who else is in there. "Oh no, no, no no. Sirius, no." I say, turning back around.

"No, no, no." I say, putting my hands on her shoulder, steering her back around so they were looking at each other."You two need to fix this. No running."

"No," I mutter, holding Fay out to Sirius, determinedly not looking at Maddie, "Take, please."

"This him Sirius?" I ask quietly, not looking at Ian, but take Fay from him,"This your son?"

"Yeah," I mutter, not taking my eyes off either of them. They weren't looking at each other.
I sigh, running a hand through my hair."You guys have to fix this, I know you two still love each other."

"No, you don't know anything," I mutter, still looking at anywhere but her.

"I never said I didn't Sirius." I say quietly, handing him back Fay."I just decided I couldn't do this anymore." I mutter, finally glancing up, but looking at the wall behind him as so to pass as I was looking at him.

"Yeah, well, I did," I decide to add, although it's slightly quieter and not as full of conviction as I would have liked, and also directed at the wall behind her.

"See Sirius," I say, still looking at the wall,"It's better this way, alright? Ir's better for Aaron and Alex." It's better if they never know they're father? How can you say that?
"I'll be okay." I say. Liar.

"Glad we've come to that conclusion," I add, not looking at either of them, picking up my bag again.

I nod weakly, moving out of his way,"The only thing I'm going to say, even though it's not going to make a difference is, I'm sorry." I say, still looking at the wall,"I know your sick of hearing that, but I am."

My jaw locks slightly, and it's all I can do to keep my mouth shut and not blurt out something sarcastic or generally spiteful.
But then I stop, unable to leave without saying it, "Just one question...no, two questions. One; just Logan or others as well? Two; Did you fuck him purely out of spite or for some other reason?"

I glance down, locking my fingers together."I was in a bad place." I say to his second question, really not wanting to answer his first one."It was after I lost the second baby, I had too much to drink, and it happened. I didn't..I didn't think."

"Oh, well that's a relief," I say, voice dripping with disdain, "And you didn't answer the first question. But don't worry, I get it. Also good to know."

I take a step back from him, as if he was a stranger I'd met in a dark alley.
That's all we are now, strangers.
"Just go, I know we're done here. I know there's no changing your mind 'cos your stubborn like that. I'm not going to chase after you this time, 'cos after what I've done there's really nothing left to fix." I say quietly, not wanting to look at him for fear that I'd start crying. "Just..take care of yourself?"

I tilt my head up slightly, looking at the crease where the wall met the ceiling so she was completely out of my line of vision.
I start to say something, then change my mind, repsonding to her last question, "And why would I bother doing that?"
Then I pick up my bag and make to leave, not bothering to stop and say goodbye to Sirius on my way.

I look down, taking in a breath and at the same time allowing a sob to escape my lips."Their yours," I whisper quietly, to the ground, so quietly I doubt he could hear me. I didn't care if he did or not, but I needed to say it."No matter what, I'll always love you okay? Cos I promised I always would, and I intend to keep that promise." My hands absently go to my stomach, feeling a slight pain."If you ever choose to forgive me, we'll be in Paris, if you want, stop by and see them."
