Hi, this is a short drabble Remus/Tonks when he leaves for the second and last time. Enjoy!
I sat on the couch, staring into the fireplace, with my right hand resting on my belly. I was pregnant. And Remus, my husband, left me again, out of fear that the child would be a werewolf like him.
Andromeda Tonks, my mother, sat down beside me.
"Wotcher Mum," I said dully.
"Oh Nymphadora," Mum sighed. "He's left you twice, broken your heart horribly, and left you here, pregnant. You shouldn't still dwell on him. He's right, maybe you should move on."
"I know I should. But I can't see myself with anyone but him," I said.
"Sometimes I wonder what you see in him. He's a coward. Scared. And entirely right with his reasons. He's thirteen years older than you, he's poor, and he is dangerous. You can't trust Dark creatures," she said.
"You wonder what I see in him?" I asked angrily. "I see a calm, reserved, slightly stubborn man who cares about me too much! How can that possibly be bad? Even if it hurts me, let's face it, he cares about me enough to rival you and Dad!"
Mum didn't say anything. I continued on.
"And I don't give a crap that he's thirteen years older! No thirteen year old is a parent! And it means that I'm in love with someone mature and wiser! He could be a hundred years old and I'd still love him! As for poor, he could be a hobo with no money at all and lives in the streets and I'd still love him! And dangerous, well, he's not very dangerous to me! He couldn't even say anything bad to Kreacher, and that elf is demented and prejudiced!" I had to catch my breath.
Mum looked at me tenderly. I raised my eyebrow.
"You must really love him then," she said. With that, she went to the kitchen.
"I do really love him," I whispered to myself. Oh, and not to mention attractive for my list of reasons why I love him!
I turned and faced the door. No one was there. But when Remus decided to come back, I'd welcome him with open arms.
So, what'd ya think? Please review!
