Andromeda wakes up in a hospital bed, a few strange tubes hooked up to her body. She panics for a moment, wondering how she got here, but a relieved Ted comes to her side immediately.

"You're awake," he says. His face and left arm are bandaged, but that doesn't stop the smile from crossing his face.

Andromeda reaches out for him. "Ted…" she says, relieved to see him alright. She tries to sit up, but there's a sharp pain in her stomach and she lets out a moan.

"Easy, easy," Ted says. "We're relying on muggle medicine here. It's going to take you longer to heal. And your sister… Your sister did a lot of damage."

"Did a lot of…" Andromeda sits up despite the pain. "Ted, the baby? Is the baby alright?"

Ted reaches out and traces her face, nodding. "Our baby is okay, Dromeda. We got out of there in time. You didn't, well, you didn't lie about your family."

Andromeda buries her head against his shoulder, crying from relief. "I was so scared, so scared that I'd lose you both in an instant."

He wraps his arms around her and holds onto her gently. "You didn't," he says. "We got out. And we're together."

Andromeda reaches out and traces the bandages. "How badly did she hurt you?"

Ted sighs. "You stopped her before it got too bad," he tells her. "Just a few little burns. Nothing permanent. Doctors say I can take off these bandages in a few days."

"I'm so sorry," Andromeda says, tears filling her eyes. "Oh, Ted, this is terrible. I'm so sorry."

"Hey now," Ted says, kissing the side of her head gently. "We're safe. We're alive. The baby's safe. And you never have to worry about your family again. I'm going to take care of you."

Andromeda nods, holding onto him tightly.

"Would you like to meet my family?" he asks. "My parents are waiting in the hallway. They wanted to give us a moment, but they're excited to meet you, even despite the circumstances."

"I'd love to meet them," Andromeda says, trying to arrange herself better on the bed. This isn't how she wanted to have met Ted's parents.

Ted smiles and slides off the bed, heading out into the hallway and coming back with a plump little woman and a scruffy looking man. The woman breaks down into tears when she sees Andromeda, and hurries to her, wrapping her arms around her. "Oh my darling little girl," she says. "Thank the heavens you're alright."

Andromeda hugs this woman back, breathing in her scent of raspberry jam and tea. "I'm so sorry for the trouble I've caused your son," she whispers.

"Don't you dare apologize for anything," Ted's mother says, sitting down besides Andromeda. "We're just glad you and the baby are alright. Teddy explained all of the politics of your world to us and we're just happy to get you out of all of that. A family who would do this to you… You have a new family now, my dear, and it's me and that darling little man right there. And our son, too, who loves you so much."

Andromeda pulls the woman back to her in a tight embrace, relieved to feel so much love immediately from Ted's parents. "Thank you," she whispers. "Thank you for everything."

Ted's mother smiles and kisses the top of her head. "You should get some rest, pumpkin. The doctors say you can leave later today, so I want to make sure you are feeling your best."

Andromeda smiles and nods, settling back down into the bed. "Stay with me?" she asks Ted and he smiles, sitting besides her and brushing back her curls.

"Always."
