My first Remus/Tonks. Everything belongs to J.K. Rowling, SIGH!

What If I Told You

She took a deep breath and exhaled slowly, catching his attention. He cocked his head to the side and raised an eyebrow inquiringly. It was cold, and the two of them had been on patrol for a very long time. If she was lucky he wouldn't remember any of what she was about to say tomorrow morning.

" What would you do if I told you I was pregnant?" she breathed, nervously awaiting his reply.

"I would ask you who you had been sleeping around with in the middle of a war." His tone was light and joking, but strained. They hadn't had sex in over a month.

She tried again, more slowly, he clearly didn't understand that she wasn't kidding.

"Remus, what if I told you the idiot I'd been sleeping around with was a werewolf. Who happened to be so bloody horny that night I was unable to cast a contraceptive charm."

His face changed drastically. Eyes narrowed, mouth drawn, he hesitated.

"I would ask if you were serious..."

Great, he was probably going to freeze up and leave her now,

"Well what would you say if I told you I was abso-effing-lutely serious."

He looked away from his shoes now, directly into her eyes. His whisper barley audible above the wind.

"I wouldn't walk away."

And that was exactly what she needed to hear.
