Green symbolises life, nature, fertility and/or well being.
"Well, you and the baby are both in good health," the Healer smiled, removing her gloves and washing her hands.
Tonks looked down at her stomach in wonder. Hearing her talk about the baby like that, about its health, it made it seem so much more real, like it was a real living person.
"That's great, isn't it, darling?" Andromeda said, squeezing her daughter's hand. Tonks nodded and smiled, but it was a weak smile and she sighed. She was over the moon that the baby was going to be okay, of course, and she was immensely grateful for her mother's support, but she couldn't help wishing that Remus was here to see this.
"We'll get you a little picture in a minute!" the Healer said brightly as she bustled out of the room.
Tonks caught Andromeda's eye and she knew that her mother could tell what she was thinking. "He may be acting like an idiot right now, and trust me there are a few other words I'd like to use for him as well, but he loves you," Andromeda said softly. "He might still have a change of heart."
But none of that mattered any more when Tonks looked down at the picture and realised that the fuzzy grey shape was in fact her child. Her hair shifted from the mousy brown colour it had adopted during the weeks since Remus left, and became a vivid shade of earthy green.
She looked up at her mother. She finally found her voice. "I'm always going to be there for this baby, whether Remus is or not."
Andromeda smiled proudly. "That's my girl."
A/N: Thanks again for all the reviews - I think I've been a bit better at replying to them this time. :)
Also, I'd planned for this to be in chronological order, but it hasn't quite worked out with the order the prompts need to be in, so forgive me and prepare for a little jump back in time for the next chapter. I should just disregard the laws of nature and change the order of the rainbow so it works for me ;) But I've started off in order, so I should really carry on. :)
