A/N: Second to last chapter and I'm just going to keep writing after posting this, so it shall be up within a week. This is going to be a bit shorter than usual, or maybe the same length but mostly from the book rather than my own writing. So I'm not JK, and yeah. Enjoy!

He looked down at the little bundle of blue in his arms, smiling at the baby that had his eyes and his mother's ever-changing hair. Smiling at his wife, he mentally kicked himself for leaving them earlier in the year, wishing he had a time machine so that he could warn himself to stay. But that was all gone, and all that mattered was that he was here for his son now. Teddy Remus Lupin.
He handed the child back to his mother. "I'm going to go tell the others."

She nodded, and gave him a quick kiss before he Disapparated.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-

It was dark, rainy, and windy at Shell Cottage, but the weather could not wipe the smile off Remus' face as he knocked at the door. He heard the small rumblings of speech die out as they heard the noise.
Who is it?" Bill called.

His smile disappeared, remembering for a moment that they were in the middle of the war and that he might have just frightened them all.
"It s I, Remus John Lupin! I am a werewolf, married to Nymphadora Tonks, and you, the Secret-Keeper of Shell Cottege, told me the address and bade me come in an emergency!"

He pulled his cloak closer to him. Hearing the lock click and seeing the door unlock, he hurried into the house, nearly stumbling. Standing up, he looked around before speaking; he didn't want any unwelcome visitors to hear his news, but he also wanted everyone to hear his news.
"It's a boy! We've named him Ted, after Dora's father!"

A shriek greeted his words. "Wha-? Tonks—Tonks has had the baby?" asked Hermione?

"Yes, yes, she's had the baby!" shouted Lupin. All around the table came cries of delight, sighs of relief: Hermione and Fleur both squealed "Congratulations!" and Ron said, "Blimey, a baby!" as if he had never heard of such a thing before.

"Yes—yes—a boy," Remus repeated, feeling again as if he could produce a thousand Patronuses in that moment. He noticed Harry, and, remembering what he and Dora had decided, walked over to him, giving him a quick hug, their last meeting unimportant.

"You'll be the godfather?" he said as he released Harry.

"M-me?" stammered Harry.
"You, yes, of course—Dora quite agrees, no one better—"
"I—yeah—blimey—"

Fleur spoke up, trying to get him to stay for some wine.

"I can't stay long, I must get back," replied Remus. But he stayed anyway.
Soon enough their goblets were filled, and they toasted to the new wizard before drinking.

"'Oo does 'e look like?" Fleur inquired.

His smile widened at this question. Dora and he had already discussed this, and they were unable to come to a conclusion.
"I think he looks like Dora, but she thinks he is like me. Not much hair. It looked black when he was born, but I swear it's turned ginger in the hour since. Probably be blond by the time I get back. Andromeda says Tonks's hair started changing color the day that she was born."

Afterwards, the time passed quickly, marking the best time he had had since his wedding day.
But all too soon, he had to return to Tonks. Not that that was bad. He simply wished he could have brought her here. She would have loved seeing everyone. There wouldn't be any other cause for visits for a while, and who knew when they would see Harry, Ron, and Hermione again?
But for now, they only knew joy for their son and each other, and when he reappeared in the hospital again, he gave her another kiss before he went home for the night.

A/N: I know it's short and kind of crappy and I'm sorry. However, the next chapter is the last one. And I think it's going to be fantastic. Thesistersblack4998, PeaceLovePotter731, HGromanticsap, duchesslynn4, and BMWWfreak, thanks for reviewing the last chapter! And thanks for catching that typo…even when I reread these some things get past me, haha. But once you pointed it out, I left it because it amused me. Anyway, thanks! I hope you all enjoyed this one! Merry late Christmas and Happy late New Year and I hope your days were fantastic.
