Chapter One – Not again!
Nymphadora and Hestia each looked at their tests, and then back at each other. They were in shock, they couldn't believe it. For Hestia it was a dream come true, she always wanted to become a mother, another little her or, God forbid, another Sirius, a small smile played across her lips, before she felt tears welling up in her eyes, she was so happy. She just hoped Sirius would be. She looked up at her friend, and seen that silent tears were rolling down her cheeks. She knew why, Remus left Nymphadora the last time she was pregnant, and she was afraid it would happen again, if only for a little while like last time. Hestia walked over to her friend and held her in a tight embrace, whispering words of comfort into her head of bubble gum pink hair. Squeezing her hand, Nymphadora looked up at Hestia and smiled, then decided that getting the news over with straight away was the best thing. Leading the way, Nymphadora and Hestia arrived in the living room, where Sirius and Remus stood talking about some sort of Ministry subject. They stopped abruptly though when they noticed their wives had entered the room.
"We have something to tell you. You might want to sit down" Hestia started slowly.
Remus and Sirius cast nervous glances at their partners then to each other and gulped.
"We, that is Nymphadora and I, are pregnant!" Hestia exclaimed looking happier than anyone had ever seen her, Nymphadora on the other hand, had her head down, and was fidgeting with her hands; she refused point blank to look at Remus or even try to for that matter.
Sirius looked positively dumbstruck, then beamed and hugged his wife a little forcefully, then apologised to her and then her stomach. Remus on the other hand, sat quietly, and watched his wife. He had no idea what to do, what to say, in fact all those fears that he had for Teddy, came flooding back. What if his child had his "furry little problem"? What kind of life would that be? He looked up however, when he heard his wife sob. He realised that her fear was him to leave again, he had heard from a countless number of people that she had been devastated when he left, and he couldn't put her through that again, especially when he remembered Harry's words from the last time.
Remus then though about all the good Teddy brought into his life, and how happy he was. And he smiled, and the more he thought about it the more he liked the idea of becoming a dad for the second time. He walked over to Nymphadora, aware that Sirius was watching him closely, and raised her head in his hand, and wiped away her tears. Smiling down at her, he kissed her on the lips softly, and then patted her stomach.
"I'm looking forward to it. A new baby. I cant wait to tell Teddy!"
Nymphadora smiled and took his hand in hers, and kissed him softly once more, feeling happy at last.
