~A forewarning to readers this chapter will be a short one, I'm excited to write the next chapter because hopefully Teddy will be older. Thank you for your understanding and for reading.~

Chapter 11, In the Pale Moonlight.

Tonks kissed her son on his head as she handed him to her mother while he slept before giving her mom a quick hug wincing at the aches in her bones at the movements and after her mom released her she and Remus hurried off to the deep part of the woods where they hid their wands and clothes Tonks dropping to her knees seconds before her husband screaming as her body changed.

When she opened her eyes all she could see is what her wolf was seeing and that was Remus still shifting his cries piercing her heart making her wolf howl for her mate and it wasn't long before his wolf joined in his howl raspier and deeper than hers.

When her wolf looked back at him he was walking to her growling now and again as he circled her and her wolf nipped at him now and again and it wasn't long before her wolf was backed agents a large tree by his wolf.

He raised a paw and forced her wolf down causing her's to give a small wine but stay put until his wolf removed it's paw and she rose to her feet looking at him as he sniffed her, she could hear her wolf growl as did his backing off as hers growled again before laying on the ground with a huff before rolling to her back and over again watching as he laid next to her licking her muzzle resigning a soft paw to the head but he didn't seem faced as he continued to groom her.

Some time later her wolf gave a throaty growl fur brisling wildly as another wolf came into view, another female who was not backing down without a fight.

Tonks' wolf leaped forward pinning the surprisingly small female under her paws avoiding her snapping jaws before biting her shoulder hard the metallic taste of blood filling her mouth as she threw the other female back with a whimper feeling she had received a bite of her own on her leg.

She laid down on the ground whining and whimpering as she licked the bite as it stung and burnt like scalding water, she threw her head back and howled and no more than a moment later Remus was by her side laying low on his belly as he tentatively licked her wound moving away as she growled but came back laying a paw over her back returning to cleaning the wound though her wolf whined and growled in protest but didn't try to stop him.

As dawn peeked over the tree's Tonks came back to her mind as her body turned back leaving her soar and shaking as she got up wincing at the pain in her arm as she found her clothes pulling them on and grabbing her wand looking around for Remus finding him waiting for her where he'd left his things.

She gave him a weak smile cradling her hurt arm as they left the woods.

As they arrived at the flat Tonks quickly heals the bite on her arm trying to ignore the scar it left as she dashed up to the bedroom changing into a t-shirt and jeans pulling her boots back on and making her hair short and neatly disarrayed while leaving it pink.

She came back down the stairs smiling at Remus who was on the couch his eyes closed tiredly but he wasn't sleeping, she made her way to him sitting next to him laying her head on his shoulder sighing contently as he kissed the top of her head.

She let her eyes close and before long was sound asleep his arm around her as he read the book that was on the coffee table.

Remus looked at his wife as she stirred in her sleep her soft snores faltering for a moment as she did, he smiled brushing her bangs out of her face.

He watched her kissing her head, he brushed her cheek lightly with the back of his finger smiling as she smiled in her sleep leaning into his touch.

He chuckled kissing her forehead.

"Your not very good at faking being asleep love."

She giggled sitting up and kissing him quickly.

"I was until I felt your fingers."

He chuckled watching as she got up stretching, her shirt ridding up as she raised her hands over her head before she looked at the clock and smiled before going to the kitchen eating a biscuit as she made them both some tea.

Remus looked at the clock as she turned on the radio singing along to the song happily, it surprised him that she wasn't in a hurry to pick Teddy up from her mom as she brought him his cup humming as she took a sip of hers.

"It's nearly 7 love normally your all but bouncing to go pick Teddy up by now."

Tonks shrugged leaning over the back of the couch.

"I think mum would like some time with him besides we have to go and look over the house before we decide if we are moving that close to mum or not."

She sipped her tea before setting the cup on the table before she opened the window in the kitchen looking down at the street bellow as the street became flooded with light from the sun.

After she had finished her tea she washed the cup cursing as she forgot to turn on the cold water and the water scaled her making Remus chuckle turning the water off.

"Why don't we go get Teddy before you hurt yourself?"

She stuck her tongue out at him but didn't protest going to see their son, she appeared to her mother's home Remus close on her heels as she went inside laughing as she scooped Teddy up from where he was playing on the floor, Remus couldn't help but smile seeing his wife and son, his reasons for living his family.
