Remus Lupin couldn't help but smile at his five-year-old son. He loved and hated the fact that his son reminded him so much of his late wife. He loved being reminded of her, but he hated the pain that came with remembering her. However, he wouldn't really change anything because he wanted his son to know who his mother was and what kind of person she was.
He looked up when he heard his son call his name. "What can I do for you, Teddy?"
Teddy smiled at his father. "Will you tell me how you and mum got together again, daddy?"
Remus shook his head and laughed. He knew how much his son loved hearing the story. He had to admit that he loved telling the story also. He walked over to his blue haired son, bent down, picked him up, and then walked to the couch and sat down with his son in his lap. With a bittersweet smile he began the story. "It all started with a kiss…"
Once he was finished telling his son the story he grinned at the look on his boy's face. "What are you thinking about, son?"
Teddy looked up and made a face. "How could you stand to kiss mummy, daddy? I think girls are yucky."
Remus threw his head back and laughed. "When you get into your teen years they will no longer be yucky to you, son. You are so much like your mother that it isn't even funny."
Teddy giggled. "How am I like mummy?"
Remus smiled softly. "Well you can change your hair color like she could. You are also clumsy, but I'm hoping that you will grow out of that. The way your eyes crinkle when you laugh also reminds me of your mother, Teddy. I loved and still love your mother and I always will. Your mum was one of the best things that happened to me. She taught me how to live and how to love someone more than words could say. Your smile is just like your mother's also."
Teddy grinned. "I think mum would be happy with us, daddy. Grandma told me that mum would want you and I to live for her since she can't live for herself anymore. Grandma says that mum and you were perfect for one another."
Remus sighed. "Your mum made me a better person, son. She saw through my excuses and made me fall in love with her. She wasn't one to give up and I'm glad that she never gave up on me. There isn't a day that goes by that I don't miss her, but I know that she wouldn't want me to stop living just because she wasn't here with us. Now, why don't you go to the bathroom and I'll come tuck you in since it's time for bed."
He watched as Teddy ran off before he looked at the picture of Tonks holding their son. "I love you, Nymphadora, and I know that our son does too. I'll make sure that he always knows about you and the things you've done."
He stood up and walked to his son's bedroom. He really would make sure that Teddy knew everything about his mother not only for her but for his and Teddy's sake too.
