In the next two weeks, Harry continued to care for her, eventually going out and buying her roses just to keep her calm. With Harry being there more often, he had to get Dumbledore to take over as Head Auror for a while aside from being Headmaster at Hogwarts. Ron and Hermione still worked hard, even though they had a kid. Mostly Molly and Arthur were caring for their child until they were off. Both having a high paying job, getting the essentials was easy.
Tonks had been lying for two weeks about Harry proposing, fearing that they would think they were going too fast. It wasn't until a quiet night that Tonks decided to tell people. Harry invited Hermione and Ron over for dinner, hoping for a nice peaceful evening with friends. Hermione had made Ron dress up in a garment similar to when they were at the Yule Ball years ago.
The following morning, Harry awoke to Tonks still sleeping soundly. She looked peaceful. Being pregnant was taking its toll on them both, but Harry would often take walks to relieve himself of the stress. A while ago, they had gone to St. Mungos and learned that she was to give birth to a boy. It was when they got home, that they were discussing names. In the end, Tonks won the argument and would name their son Anthony James Potter.
After showering, Harry got dressed in his Auror uniform and set out, leaving a kiss on his fiance's forehead. At work, Harry assumed leadership with Ron by his side. In his(Tonks') office, he was doing paperwork for the Ministry. All the while, he remembered back to that event in November.
November
Harry was sitting beside Tonks, Ron, and Hermione, awaiting for it to start. This even was for the members of the Ministry that proved valuable, who aced their yearly exams, and who was the best at what they did. Harry knew Tonks would get an award or two as she usually did. When Minister Shacklbolt went up to the stage, he pointed his wand at his throat and began talking.
"Welcome everyone to the 137th Ministry of Magic Awards banquet! We celebrate those who have done generous things for the Wizarding world and protect the Muggles. First, I will present the award for most outstanding..."
Harry didn't listen until it came to the Aurors, who possibly did the most out of everybody in the Ministry. He could see that Tonks was shivering in nerves, so he held her hand, which calmed her down. She smiled at him and placed her hand on top of his.
Nearly an hour later, it came down to it.
"And now... to our nearly indestructible Aurors!" he began reading from cards. "For the Auror who was unstoppable in their yearly exams... Miss Cho Chang!"
Cho, who was sitting across from them, got up with hands over her mouth. Harry, Tonks, and others shook her hand as she cried her way up to the stage. She shook the Ministers hand and took his wand.
"I-I-I don't know what to say! I never once thought I would score on any test, let alone an Auror test!" a few people laughed. "Thank you all for this honor!" she walked off the stage with a small trophy in the shape of a wand.
"Okay, next up is the award for the Auror who shows brilliant smarts in the field. This goes to... Nymphadora Tonks!"
Tonks knew she would get that award, but stood up and gave Harry a full kiss on the lips, stunning some people around her. She shook peoples hands and got up onto the stage, shaking Kingsley's hand and taking the wand.
"Thank you Minister. I really didn't have any doubts I would get this award, but I do have something I want to announce. As Head Auror, I was always told I would need to name my successor before my tenth year. It is my seventh year and I feel the need to do it now. My successor will be my... boyfriend and closest friend, Harry James Potter."
Everyone clapped and looked at Harry, who felt super embarassed, but ina good way. She left the stage and rejoined her friends at the table. She didn't care about the consequences for saying her Agent was her boyfriend. She loved hima nd that was all that mattered. Kingsley laughed.
"Whoa! Did not see that coming! Now, the final award for the Auror class. For exceptional valor and tremendous bravery in the line of battle, this award goes to..." he stopped and was surprised by the name. "Harry James Potter!"
Even Tonks was surprised, but then again, she wasn't. He risked his life to save Tonks on more then one occasion and she knew he deserved it. Getting up, he quickly made his way to the stage and shook the Ministers hand.
"Wow... um... I've never gave a speech before." some people laughed. "I guess all I can say is thank you... to all of you. Truth be told, I was only brave becaused our Head Auror was in trouble and no one would do anything. For nearly a year I have been with Agent Tonks and we are both happy. She's even... carrying my baby." some people gasped. "If anyone gets in trouble, it should be me. I made the move on her, so its my fault. If anyone get in trouble, let it be me. She loves her job and would gladly die for it. Thank you."
It was mostly quiet for the rest of the evening. Tonks smiled at him for what he did and was grateful for it. The next day, Kingsley wanted to see them both in his office, which meant they were in trouble. Sitting down, they feared the worst.
"Mr. Potter. Ms. Tonks. From what Harry told us last night, the normal response would be to fire you both."
"Yes sir," they both said.
"However," their heads shot up. "With a baby being on the way, firing you both would be bad for it. I usually have zero tolerance for workers getting with their bosses. So, I will deduct some from your pay and that will be all. I pray you stay together because you are the best couple I have ever see." he smiled.
"Thank you sir!" said Tonks happily.
"I thank you for your mercy." said Harry.
"But don't let your romance interfere with your work. Business before pleasure is my motto."
"It won't sir. I will keep Harry in line." she said, turning her head to him and winking.
"Good. You are both dismissed. And congrats on your awards."
They both bowed and left without a word.
"That was nerve wracking!" shouted Harry.
"I'll say. Nothing beats the nerves like a little fucking. Wanna join me in the closet?"
"Do you have to ask?"
After an hour of intense sex, they left the closet with their hair all mess up and smelling like cum.
"Damn!" shouted Tonks.
"What, what?" he asked frantically.
"Nothing. I just love it when we fuck!"
"So do I babe."
"Maybe we could use that trophy tonight in bed. She what it feels like?"
"You are so naughty!"
As Harry snapped out of his daze, the door opened and Ron let in a Patronus. It was in the shape of a beautiful bird. Ron shut the door and Harry listened.
"Harry!"
"What is it?"
"I-Its happened! Its finally happened!"
"You mean?"
"YES!"
"I'll be at St. Mungos shortly!" he said as the Patronus disappeared and he bolted out.
"Whats up?" asked Ron, who was at his desk.
"Tonks' water broke! I-I have to get to the hospital! Take care of things for me!"
"Sure thing! Good luck!"
"Thanks!"
