Summary
"Sorry- I'm nervous." Sirius says just as Regulus starts to formulate what he wants to say. "I just wanted to make sure you were still there and-"
"I'm pregnant." Regulus blurts, expecting the following stunned silence. "I'm pregnant and I'm scared. I'm scared because my husband is- my husband he- he h- he's not kind. I can't tell him. I can't be here when he gets home. I don't- I don't know where you are, if you're even still in London, but I really need your help. And I know you aren't obligated to help me, and you probably don't even want to because I was- I was terrible to you after you left, but you're my only chance and I- you're the only person I want right now. You're the only person I can think of and feel safe."
He didn't mean to start crying, and he especially didn't want to start sobbing so hard that his breath catches every time he tries to breath out, but for some god forsaken reason trying to explain how much he still needs his big brother to save him from his own mistakes is causing a mental breakdown. Sirius doesn't say anything for a few moments, and Regulus's sensitivity to rejection decides to take that as a hard no, which results in harder crying.
