Andromeda ran her hand along the skin of her grandson as she laid him in his crib. The last two months had been the most stressful of her entire life. Nymphadora had fallen and been put on bed rest. She watched her daughter like a hawk afraid at any moment her little baby bird would die. Then the day came and her grandson was born. He was more than anything she could have ever wished for. He looked so much like his father, but yet so much like Nymphadora.
"Sleep now little baby" she said as Teddy yawned and his hair turned from a turquoise blue to its normal sandy brown. She couldn't help but smile as she remembered how Nymphadora's hair used to do that when she was just a baby. She walked down the hall and into her room. As she moved past her desk she noticed the letter she had placed there months ago. It wasn't fair to the other woman that she wasn't replying and now with things calmed down a bit it would be a good time to write. She scanned the letter and thought of how much had happened since she had last corresponded. Ted was gone, but Teddy was here. Her life had changed in so many different ways. She picked up her quill not knowing where to begin.
Dear Worried Mother Weeping Wife,
He's gone and that's why I haven't written. Shortly after I received your last letter I found out the love of my life had died. A death eater that I used to know personally killed him and I wanted to kill myself. He was my life my reason to live, but when I went to get the knife to send it through my heart I saw my daughter and my other reason for living calling my name asking for my help.
She's here and that's why I haven't written. Just a couple months ago my daughter was placed on bed rest because she fell. I thought she was going to lose the baby, but she didn't she stayed strong and that brings me to the third reason why I haven't written.
He is her and that's why I haven't written. My grandson was born on April 11th at 3:34 p.m. He is the most precious thing in the world with his little hands and feet. You think you could never love something as equally as your husband or your child, but then that grandchild comes and you rediscover that love all again. I have faced so much in the past couple of months, but I hope you haven't. My daughter has said things are calming down, but she believes a fight is coming and I do too. A fight is on the way. I must now go enjoy my daughter and grandson, but I look forward to your reply. Sometimes it's nice to know what's going on in other's life's.
Sincerely,
Worried Mother, Weeping Wife
Andromeda sealed the envelope and just as she said in her letter went to kiss her grandson and daughter good night.
Story will be finished tomorrow as that is when it is due for the contest. Hope you enjoyed reading and please review. :D
