Disclamer i own NOTHING!
The next 4 days passed rather quickly. Despite there being two very sick order members in the library everyone was
starting to get back to some sort of normality. Mad-Eye, Kingsley, Arthur, Bill and Hestia Jones went back to work, Mundungus hadn't been round for a few days, The kids hung round the house or went out the back to play quidditch, although at least one of them came in every hour to see how Tonks and Remus were, While Molly, Minerva, Fleur and Sirius spend the days in the library. School didn't start for another 2 months, Harry didn't need collecting for 6 weeks and Hermione wouldn't show for 4 weeks.
Tonks still hadn't started to heal properly, altho another of her ribs had healed and the cut on the top of her head had closed. Poppy thought she knew what was going on with Dora but didn't want to say anything till she was sure and she couldn't be till she could test her theory after the full moon. The wolfsbane potion was given to Remus and it was agreed that Sirius would stay with him in the basement in his dog form.
By the night of the full moon Sirius and Remus were locked in the basement and Molly promised Remus that she would stay with Tonks till he could get back. Remus was getting a lot stronger, He was managing to stay awake for a lot longer and wasn't finding it so hard to breath anymore, but he still couldn't get round on his own, Still had to take dreamless sleep potion because of his nightmares and he was still in a considerable amount of pain.
At 2AM Mad-Eye, Kingsley, Arthur, Bill, Charlie and Fleur were all sat round the kitchen table when Ginny walked in.
"What are you doing up dear?" asked her father.
"I couldn't sleep" she said as she sat on a chair between her father and Bill.
"would you like a hot chocolate sis?" Charlie asked as he got up. Ginny just nodded.
Arthur turned to his only biological daughter, pulled her into a hug.
"They're going to be ok my darling, were all just going to have to give them time."
"But what if there not, what if Tonks doesn't wake up. She's been like a big sister to me since she's joined the order, What if she doesn't wake up", The red haired girl sobbed into her father's chest. Bill lent over and started rubbing her back.
"Hey common Gin, Its going to take more than a nasty werewolf to keep her down, you know that. I'm sure in a few days she will wake up and have a go at us all for looking so glum." That seemed to work as her sobs slowed to just silent tears now. After a few minutes Arthur could feel her breathing slow and even out. She had fallen asleep in her father's arms.
At sun rise that morning Kingsley went down to the basement and carried Remus back to the Library with Sirius falling close behind. After about 15 Minutes he walked into the kitchen where everyone except Sirius, Molly and Minerva were eating breakfast.
"How was the night?" Arthur asked as Kingsley walked through the door.
"Well Sirius said it all went well, That Remus transformed and slept the rest of the night. There just in there now getting him settled back into bed."
"That's good, was there and news on Tonks?"
"No she is still the same as she was last night, but poppy said she wants to talk to us all tonight when we get back from work and Remus has had some rest. She wants to talk about a theory she has i think."

The evening after the full moon the order shuffled into the library to await Poppy arrival. Remus was in bed propped up by a stack of pillows, Sirius was sat in the middle of the two beds holding Dora's hand but muttering away to Remus. Molly was putting a fresh bandage on a bite mark on Dora's neck when the fire place lit up in green flames and Poppy walked out. the chatter of the room died down.
"Mr. Lupin before i start there is something i need to tell you. it will be a bit of a shock so take your time to absorb it" Poppy said as she sat some things down on the table and glanced at Minerva.
"ok, What is it?" Remus asked. The whole room looked confused and curious as to what poppy had to say.
"Remus" Poppy moved next to Remus' bed and took his hand "Your wife is pregnant" There was a small gasp of shock from the crowd in the room.
"WHAT!" Sirius shouted from his chair. Remus was visibly shaking. He could hear Sirius kicking off in the background but he didn't register what he was saying. 'She's having a baby, my wife is having his baby, wh...i...wh a baby' He kept going over it again and again in his head and then everything Greyback did to her was flung round his head like a movie. It seemed like days had gone past when he was brought out of the trance. "Remus" Poppy said "can you hear me" but she got no response.
"MOONY!" Sirius yelled that got a response. Remus looked up. Sirius could see tears in him eyes. "Moony are you ok?"
"I've just been told that my wife is pregnant by the monster that reaped and tortured her. i am not the slightest little bit of ok." Remus snapped at his best friend. A look of confusion crossed Poppy and Minerva faces.
"Remus it's your baby" Minerva told the very pale werewolf "we figured out the dated the day after you were brought back. She fell pregnant during your honeymoon. She's about 6 weeks pregnant." if more color could have drained from Remus' face it would have. The room was silent for a few minutes while everyone got over the shock.
"Congratulations Remus" said Charlie wIth a shocked smile on his face.
"erm... thank you." Remus said still trying to process the information. After a few minutes "erm.. is it ok, the baby its ok?"
"yes the baby seems to be doing really well." Poppy said with a smile on her face.
"how di... how did it survive that?" Remus stumbled slowly grasping the idea of a baby.
"Tonks is carrying a very powerful baby inside of her Remus, i don't no how it survived but it might have something to do with my theory." Poppy took a deep breath "it involves you, Tonks and the baby. now bearing in mind that it is only a theory i could be really wrong."
"ok" Remus said as if for her to continue.
"i think it's you that is stopping her from healing."
"what?" Remus said trying to sit up, He didn't get very far before he winced in pain. Sirius let go of Dora's hand and put it round Remus chest, Helping him to sit.
"Moony be careful and let poppy finish" Sirius said once Remus was comfortable. Poppy continued.
"there's a special type of magic it's called anima una magic, it is Latin for one soul. It's an ancient type of magic and a powerful one at that, no one has seen a case of it in centuries."
"So what does that mean for Remus, Tonks and the baby?" Bill asked this time.
"It means exactly that, when a powerful couple Like Tonks and Remus here, consive an equally powerful baby their souls fuse as one, they all became one soul and a bit of that soul is missing"
"what's missing?" Remus asked rubbing his head, it felt like someone had realized a bludger inside his head.
"You Mr. Lupin"
"ME!"
"Yes, I believe that after everything that has happened she feels she has lost you Remus. So Tonks body is putting all her energy in to protecting the baby because its the last bit of you she has, it's not protecting itself." Remus looked scared now more than confused but poppy continued, "Think about it the first time she started to heal was after the first time you woke up and started talking, she felt you there. Then the second was the second time you woke up, she heard you asking for her. I believe that when you called for her you healed her." Everyone still slightly confused. "I'm thinking that if you can get through to her and heal some of the more extreme injuries. She might realize that she and the baby are safe, that she hasn't lost you and she will...start looking after herself for lack of a better term." Remus started to climb out of the bed. Sirius grabbed his shoulder.
"Moony what are you doing?"
"I'm going over there to my wife. I am going to save her and my baby and if you don't get of me I am going to knock you into next week!" Remus growled and Sirius put his hands up in surrender.
"Remus i want you to lay back down now please" Poppy moved infront of him so he couldent get to Dora.
"NO! you said i can save her and that is what i am going to do, MOVE!" When Poppy didnt move tears started to fall from his eyes. "please poppy dont make me beg you, i have done enough of that the past week and a half to last me a life time. He made me watch, did you know that?" the room gasped as tears started to fall from Molly, Ginny and most of the other order members eyes aswell as Sirius' he had never seen Remus like this. "He forced me to watch her being raped, He made me look into her eyes and i saw it. i watched her brake right there infront of me, it was like the spark left her eyes, like she was giving up. i couldent save her from him i couldent stop him hurting her but i can save her now. please." The tears were running down his neck.
"You can help her but i want you to do it from your own bed. I am so, so sorry Remus for what he put you through, put both of you through i truly am, but you are still too weak. if you will just get back into bed, i will move them closer together so you can be close to her and hold her hand." Sirius walked round to Remus and put his hands on his shoulders.
"You cant help her get better if you are still sick yourself" Remus just nodded and layed back in bed, giving a low growle from the pain. Once Remus was in sat up a little Poppy and Sirius moved from the inbetween the beds. Poppy raised her wand and the two beds moved fo they were side by side.
"Remus i dont no how long it will take, i dont even know if it will work but you still need to rest." Poppy was talking to Remus but he wasn't paying attenction to her anymore. He slipped his fingers into hers and held her hand. Remus didnt hear or see the order leave the room, he was to mesmerised by his wife and his thoughts just took over till he fell asleep.
8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8-8
The night was filled with Nightmares. Remus kept waking and falling back to sleep with the same dream. He was there back in the room. Tonks was laying on the floor with a massive baby bump covered in blood and dirt. He managed to crawl over to Doras lifeless body.
"Wake up dora please common wake up, i need you, please, i cant live without you. i dont want to live without you please." His hand was stroking her face. The blood from her body had stopped flowing and Remus just cradled his dead pregnant wife and sobbed. The sounds of laughter filled his dream and the next thing he knew Greyback was there standing over them.
Remus woken startled from his dream. He was sweaty, hot, shaking and his vision was blure, he could his name being called.
"Moony, Moony can you hear me, its ok its just a dream, your safe here." it took a few minutes for Remus to calm his breathing and his vision to go back to normal.
"are you ok? do you want me to go and get Minerva?" Sirius asked with a very worried look on his face.
"no, no im ok, it was just a bad dream i'll be ok." Remus looked over to his wife, his hand was still wrapped in hers.
"Theres on news yet. Poppy said she will be over in a little bit to check on yours and Doras progress then if she is improving Poppy will take the magicialy induced come spell of her. Do you want me to get Molly to give you a dreamless sleep potion?"
"no im ok really." Remus still haddn't taken his eyes off dora "Padfoot...do you think this will work?"
"i dont no Moony, What poppy said dose make sence, You two were made for eachother we can all see that but..."
"Well good morning Mr. Lupin, Mr. Black, how are my two favorate pactionts doing this morning?"
Befor Sirius could finsh Poppy flooed in. then seconds Molly and Minerva walked through the door.
"I'm doing fine thankyou, altho i dont think i can say the same about my wife." Remus said only just audioable.
"Well lets have a look at her then shall we Remus?" Poppy pulled out her wand and started to move it over Doras body. "ok, the infection she had in the cuts on her chest has gone and some on the minor bite marks have vanished too. Mr. Lupin...i think it might be working." A big Smile crossed Poppys face as she looked at Remus who after being told the good news still looked ancious.
"Good, Hows the baby and when will you wake her up?" He asked.
"The baby is perfect, its healthy and growing well i couldent be happier. As for Tonks i think i will Take the spell off her now and stick round for the rest of the day to keep an eye on her ok?"
"yeah ok." Remus squezzed her hand. A thred of white light came out of Poppys wand and covered Tonks' body. Nothing changed, She didnt stur, her breathing didnt change, it was like nothing had happened.
"Dont look so scared Remus, Give her some time. Why dont you and Mr. Black try talking to her. im going to go and get you some propper food i think its time to take you of that nutrition potion." Remus just looked at poppy as if to say 'is that it?'. Poppy, Molly and Minerva gave Remus and Sirius a smile and went to the kitchen. The men looked at eachother.
"Go on then talk to her Moony"
