Spark of Life

Old. Damaged. Broken. Diseased. They were the words sure to be used. Remus knew exactly what her friends must think. How could they allow such a vibrant young woman to be shackled to a violent, hopeless old wretch like him?

Even on the day, he was sure that she would think better - that she would come to her senses. Even as the wolf within howled for his packmate, he knew they were destined to be apart. She wouldn't turn up, he would be left alone here. As it should be.

In the distance, music sounded - a soft melody that soothed him. She appeared at the door, a vision. It was as though someone had cast a Bombarda at his heart. Internally his wolf began to howl; the sound was so mournful and full of longing that Remus was surprised it didn't echo down the aisle.

"No," Remus whimpered, the broken man in him still fighting against this chance at poisoned happiness. The rest of being hummed with anticipation and excitement, ready to claim her.

"Remus," Tonks gasped so silently that he read it from her lips. There was such joy in her expression and eagerness in her step as she made the slow, solitary approach. He could hardly breathe. For a moment he stood convinced - this was truly what she wanted.

"Remus," she whispered again, but she was in front of him now and this time he heard it. Her tone was bursting with hidden meaning, she was desperate for him to understand something - but what? "I was going to wait, but I just can't. I'm pregnant."

For a moment, all rational thought and movement was stolen from him. Such was the intensity of the fear and joy that swept through him. He was so terrified for the child, for what it might become, though he could not hide from the delight that a child of his own brought.

As he looked into Tonks' eyes and they said their vows, Remus realised something. He realised that a part of him would always be broken, but that didn't mean he didn't deserve to be happy and that happiness would live on forever, in their little spark of life.
