Remus looked at her. She was tired and worn; there were huge bags under her eyes, her hair was a messy brown again. And she was huge.

He couldn't take his eyes away from her growing stomach. She was so small, it made her look like she had swallowed a planet. He had to remind himself that it was their baby. Their baby.

"Remus." her small hands found his. "It's going to be okay. He's going to be okay."

His heart skipped a beat. "It's a… boy?" he asked, mouth dry. She nodded, a small smile turning the corners of her mouth.

"I'm back. I promise."
