Chapter 9: New Feelings
Disclaimer: Dont own Potter...if i did Remus, Tonks, Snape, Mad-Eye, Fred and Ted Tonks would still be alive!!!
Remus and Tonks were over at the Burrow for dinner. Molly had been teaching Tonks to cook, both with and without using magic. Tonight, Tonks was learning how to make Shepherd's pie. They had been working for a couple of hours, and Tonks's back began to hurt. She could no longer fit into to any of her own clothes with the exception of her sweat pants and some of her large sweatshirts. She took to wearing Remus's clothes a lot of the time.
She was standing in the kitchen with Molly and Fleur while Arthur, Remus, and Bill sat in the living room, filling Remus in on what had happened during the Order meeting. It had been the previous night, which had also been the full moon.
Tonks was carrying a pot of chopped peas and carrots that she was about to cook for the pie when she felt it. All of a sudden, there was a quick dull pain in her stomach. She dropped the pot, sending the vegetables flying, and backed into the wall, clutching her stomach with a worried look on her face.
"Tonks!" Fleur yelled, running over to her, followed closely by Molly. "What iz zee matter?"
Arthur, Bill, and Remus ran into the room. Remus saw Tonks pressed up against the wall and ran over to her. "What's wrong, Dora?"
Tonks felt the same thing again. "I-I'm not exactly sure. I-I think the baby is kicking."
Molly moved forwards, and placed a hand on Tonks's stomach. After a moment, Tonks felt the same thing again. She looked up at Molly, who removed her hand and was smiling. "Well?" Tonks asked. "Is it the baby kicking?" She was worried.
Molly nodded. "Yes, my dear…And get used to it, he'll probably be active, if he's starting this early."
Tonks had tears falling down her face, and when she looked over to Remus, she noticed he did too. He pulled her to him, embracing her tightly. After a moment, he pulled away. She felt kicking again and reached for his hand, pulling it towards her and placed it against her stomach. He felt it immediately, and a huge smile spread across his face.
During dinner, Tonks dropped her fork twice when they baby kicked and she wasn't expecting it. It took Tonks twice as long to eat as everyone else because she ate so much. After dinner, the group sat in the living room, talking about the Order meeting. Arthur, Bill, Remus, and Fleur were drinking firewhiskey while Molly drank butterbeer, and Tonks drank pumpkin juice. She could not pay attention, however, because the baby kept kicking. Every time it did, she would grab Remus's hand and place it on her stomach. Once the group realized that none of them were really paying attention because of Tonks's constant disruptions.
Remus and Tonks said their 'goodbyes' and apparated home. They sat side-by-side in bed for the rest of the night, feeling their baby moving inside of Tonks. For the first time, they really felt like they were going to be parents.
