I really love the idea of this, I don't even know why.

EPILOGUE

Thanks for the reviews and love guys.

The next long series I will be working on is called The Protector, and it's another Not-Nymphadora-Tonks fic.


Sirius sat outside the room at St Mungo's, one child on each knee. Teddy and Carina were babbling to each other, with a few words thrown in that Sirius understood- but he did wonder if they could understand everything the other was saying.

The door opened and he looked up to see Erin's wide smile.

"A girl." She said, scooping up Carina. "Bring Teddy to see her."

Sirius stood, balancing Teddy on his hip. "Well, you're a big brother, Ted." He said. Congratulations, Moony, I know you would have loved a daughter. Teddy simply giggled.

They entered the room, and Sirius brought Teddy to the bed where Tonks was holding a tiny baby girl.

"Well, what's this one's name?" Sirius asked.

Tonks smiled at her daughter. "Hope Elaine Leanne Lupin." She said. "Elaine is Erin's middle name, and Hope Leanne was Remus' mother's name."

Sirius thought for a moment. "Spell that out slowly, please."

Tonks looked at Sirius, confused for a moment. Her eyes were clearly exhausted, and Sirius was sure her thoughts were a muddled mess. "Oh! No!" Tonks cried. "Erin, I named my daughter 'Hell'!"

"It's fine." Erin said. "Sirius won't say a thing, will he?"

"I promise." Sirius said, even though he was already planning on ways to use this.


20 Years Later

"Almost ready." Tonks said as she approached Sirius and Erin. "He's just a little nervous."

"So is Carina." Erin said.

"Is it just me, or this a little weird?" Tonks asked. "I mean, they're technically related-"

"Not enough for it to matter." Sirius said. "It's the same relation you have with my father."

"We tried to convince them to see other people, but if this is how they're happy..." Erin said, shrugging.

"But our kids are getting married." Tonks said. "They grew up together-"

"So did my parents." Sirius said. "If it makes you feel any better, Dora. They're happy. And really not that closely related anyway. Now, what I'm wondering- which parent gets honoured with a namesake first?"

"Remus." Tonks and Erin said together.

Sirius nodded. "I hope so." He said. "Right, I'm going to go give Teddy Hell."

"What?" Tonks asked.

"Isn't Hell escorting her big brother down the aisle before the ceremony?" Sirius asked, with a wink.

As Sirius walked away, Tonks turned to Erin. "I regret that name daily." She said.

"I know." Erin said, nudging her lightly. "We can just hope Carina and Teddy have better names for their children."
