Remus John Lupin woke with a start as he heard the screams of his late wife. The werewolf sighed as he ran a hand through his graying hair. "Six years, six years," he muttered as he got out of his bed. Remus was living with his late best friend's son and his wife. Remus was grateful that Harry James Potter said that he can live with him so he can turn in a safe place and it's a good place to raise his six-year-old son. Remus sadly had little money because he was a werewolf and had no job at the moment. However, like-father-like son Harry was helping him with money just like his father James before him. Remus sighed and looked at the clock. "Four in the morning," he muttered with a groan when he knew that he wasn't going to go back to sleep. So, he walked out of his room.

Remus sighed sadly as he got downstairs. When he got down into the kitchen however the light was on. Remus raised an eyebrow and opened the door. When the werewolf walked in, he saw Ginny Potter making coffee. "What are you doing up Ginny?" Remus asked however when Ginny turned around baby James Sirius Potter was in her arms. This answers Remus's question.

"Oh, good morning Remus. I did not hear you come in," Ginny said with a tired look on her face. Remus laughed.

"I know how that feels," Remus said as he sat down making a sad noise. Ginny heard this as she gave him coffee. He did not look up at her until he waited for the warm coffee went down his dry throat. When he did look up, he saw a worried look on her face as she bounced James in her arms.

"Did you have that dream again?" She asked quietly. Remus let out a shaky breath and nodded not saying anything. He did not need to because she saw the look on his face. "Remus you need to see someone about your nightmares. Ginny said as she walked over to Remus. Remus took another sip and sighed. "Do you want to hold James?" She asked after a minute Remus looked at her with his tired green-amber eyes wide. Remus smiled and nodded. Ginny smiled and put James in the werewolf's arms.

Remus and Ginny sat there for a while. Remus was holding James until Teddy bounced down the stairs. Remus smiled when he saw the beautiful turquoise color of his son's hair. "Good morning Ted," Remus said as he gave James back to his mother. Teddy smiled as his hair changed to match his father's.

"Good morning daddy," Teddy said as he sat down next to his father.

"What do you want to eat Teddy?" Ginny asked. Teddy looked up at the ceiling and thought. Remus smiled at his son whose eyes match his own.

"Pancakes," Teddy said bouncing in his seat. Remus laughed at his son however his face fell when he thought of Tonks. Ginny saw this and gave James back to the sad werewolf. Remus gave her a small smile and showed James Sirius to Teddy.

"Do you want to say good morning to your Godbrother?" Teddy smiled and said:

"Good morning James," Teddy kissed little James Sirius on his head making Remus's heart melt. Ginny watched this before she went back to making pancakes.

They all ate in silence until Teddy broke it with telling everyone about his dream. "I was going to Hogwarts for the first time," Teddy was telling them. "But then, a big black dog popped up and licked daddy. It was weird," Teddy finished. Remus opened his mouth to say something, but the doorbell rang. Remus's scared eyebrow shot up as he walked to the door. Remus had his wand drawn however, when he opened the door, the werewolf dropped his wand when he saw the bear-like dog in the doorway.

"P…. Padfoot?" Remus questioned. The dog barked turned back into Sirius Black.

"Hello Moony," Sirius said with a smile. However, before Sirius could say anything else Remus launched himself at his best friend and pulled him into a tight hug. Sirius was shocked for a moment before he hugged back. Then Remus let the wolf take over as he started to cry about Tonks. Sirius, however, did not know this. Remus broke free after two minutes.

"Come in Pads. It's cold out here," Remus said as he wiped the tears from his eyes. Sirius looked at him and saw a sadness in his green amber eyes.

"What's wrong Moon?" Sirius asked ad they made their way into the dining room. However, Remus did not say anything.

Sirius was shocked to see Ginny washing dishes and holding a baby that looked just like Harry. He was also shocked but in a happy way when he saw a boy at the table reading a book. The boy turned around and looked at him. Sirius raised an eyebrow at Remus. Remus shook his head and pushed him playfully just like they were teenagers again. Sirius laughed and looked at Ginny.

"Ginny?" Sirius said as Ginny turned around. Ginny stared at him for a while until Remus cleared his dry throat.

"How are you here?" Remus asked the question that Ginny was going to ask. Sirius smiled and:

"I don't know. I woke up in the Department of mysteries, turned into Padfoot and ran all the way here. Did you turn Harry into a baby?" Sirius asked looking at James Sirius. Everyone in the room laughed. Once they calmed down Remus said:

"No, Harry's at work," Remus said still laughing a little. Sirius rolled his eyes. Remus nodded to his son to stand. "Teddy meet your Godfather's Godfather and my best friend Sirius Black. Sirius meet Edward 'Teddy' Remus Lupin." Sirius smiled at the six-year-old.

"Is this your son?" Remus nodded and put a hand on his son's bouncing shoulder. Teddy's hair then changed to match Sirius's. "He's a…" Remus nodded. "is he a werewolf too?" Remus shook his head with a smile.

"No Padfoot he's not. Oh, and the baby is James Sirius Potter," Remus added with another smile but this one did not reach his eyes and Sirius saw the sadness again. He did not say anything about it, however. Sirius, Remus, and Teddy sat back down. Remus and Sirius started to talk about something. While Teddy went back to his book

"Do you want to hold James?" Ginny asked as the family sat in the living room. Sirius smiled as he took the baby in his arms. James giggled as Sirius tickled him. Remus smiled fondly at his friend however the screams of Tonks came into to his mind this made him froze. Ginny was the first to notice this because Sirius was playing with the baby. Ginny moved fast as she got out of her chair to help him. At this point, Sirius saw what was wrong but he did not do anything. He did know what to do however because this happened to him as well, but he let Ginny take care of it. Also, Sirius was holding James Sirius so he, sadly could not help. After a few minutes, Remus blinked and let out a sigh.

"It happened again," Ginny nodded.

"You need to stop thinking about it, Remus. That was in the past," Ginny said with a sigh.

"I can't. It's my fault. I should have saved her," Ginny shook her head as she saw a tear run down Remus's face.

"But you couldn't have. You were bound with silver rope. If Hagrid didn't find you. you would have died too leaving Teddy alone," Ginny snapped. Sirius watched surprised. he was also worried about his friend.

'What happened?' Sirius thought. Then it snapped in his mind. 'Teddy does not have a mother,' Sirius let out a sigh. the four of them fell quiet.

They did not speak until mid-morning. Remus let out a sigh. "Sorry, you had to see that Padfoot," Remus said quietly. Sirius looked at him as he put the book that he was reading in his lap.

"Was that about Teddy's mother?" Sirius asked carefully. Remus let out another breath and nodded. "What was her name?" Sirius asked dreading the answer.

"I'm so sorry Sirius," Remus paused and looked at Sirius who gave him a look. Remus felt tears in his eyes and falling down his face, but he knew that he had to tell him. "It was Tonks, Dora," Sirius looked at him with wide eyes.

"What? you…...you married my…..., my cousin?" Sirius asked voice breaking. Remus nodded sadly with tears in his eyes.

"She died in the Batte of Hogwarts. I tried to…to…... save her…... but…" Remus cut off as sobs filled the room. Sirius walked over to the werewolf slowly and hugged him tight.

A/N: It's been a while since I started a new story. Don't worry I will work on the other two and this one. I will not take a break from any of the other stories that I'm writing. Sorry if this is a sad way to end the first chapter. I'm still writing, yes, I said writing. I'm writing this one out on paper in my Dear Evan Hansen journal. That's really random to say what I'm writing this story in. sorry about that. anyway, tell me what you think, and I will see you next time. -Captain Voxland
