Teddy's Birth.
Molly Weasley looked over at the couch. Nymphadora Tonks was curled up in a ball, grimacing in pain.
"Dora? Are you ok?" Remus Lupin asked walking into the room and seeing her. Unable to speak Dora shook her head. Molly walked over and felt Dora's stomach.
"Where does it hurt dear?" She asked. Dora straightened out. "It just stopped." She said surprised. "It's been doing that all day. I don't understand why." Molly thought for a second then smiled.
"I think the baby is on its way." Molly told them. Dora was relieved. She hadn't wanted to admit it but she had been worried that something was wrong with the baby. Remus turned away. It was the moment he'd been dreading. The child was going to be born and he was certain his affliction would show in his child as it did in him.
Sitting in St. Mungo's, Remus listened to Dora screaming in pain as she went through labour. Every scream pierced through him like a sword being thrust through his heart. He hated hearing her in any kind of pain. As the child's birth got closer and closer, Remus could feel his gut churning. There was only one thing he could think of that made him happy. He was glad that it wasn't a full moon and he was able to be sitting in St. Mungo's waiting instead of curled up somewhere as a wolf.
He could hear her screaming out for him so he walked in and stood by her bed. She reached out and took his hand. He held it and rubbed it.
"You're nearly there Dora. You've done so well." He said to her quietly. As he spoke there was a cry which continued loudly.
"Congratulations. You have a son." The healer wrapped the baby in a blanket and handed him to Remus. Looking at his son, it was hard to be worried anymore. As he took his first look at his son he couldn't help but burst into laughter. The boy had bright pink hair. Dora frowned "What's so funny Remus?" Remus showed her and she giggled. "Guess you don't have to worry about him taking after you anymore." she said grinning tiredly. "What are we going to name him?" Remus wondered out loud.
"Would Theodore be ok?" Dora asked quietly. Remus smiled. Theodore Lupin. "It's perfect." He said smiling. "Theodore 'Teddy' Lupin. He's so adorable. Although he does look funny with bright pink hair." Dora said. As she spoke Teddy's hair changed from pink to blonde. Teddy looked at his mother with an expression that said "Better?" Dora burst into laughter. Remus watched them smiling. He couldn't believe how worried he'd been and all for no reason. Teddy was perfect.
