Remus was smiling as he walked back with a cup of water for Tonks.
The day had started out horrible and now he felt almost jubilant. He had a
child on the way, and he was getting married! Babies had always been a
favorite of his, sweet smelling and adorable. He went to enter Nymphadora's
office when he heard sniffles, pausing, Remus could make out two voices.
"Hermione, he doesn't love me. All he wants is the baby!" He heard Tonks whimper.
"Nymphadora, you know that's not true!" It was Hermione. "It took me long enough to get with Severus, now you can certainly make Remus love you!" Hermione clucked over her for a couple more minutes.
"Hermione, I've loved Remus since I was five! What more can i do except dance naked in front of him proclaiming it!? Wait, I've already done that!" Tonks sounded cynical.
"Buck up. I've got to go, Severus wants to........ well I'll talk to you later. Call anytime!" The quiet 'poof' of the fire place noted Hermione's departure. Swallowing hard, Remus turned the corner to see Tonks sitting in her office chair.
"I've got your water, Nymphadora." Remus said quietly. She nodded and grabbed for it.
"Thank you." Taking a sip she cleared her throat. "You can just notify me when the wedding is." She looked up and smiled softly.
"Alright, I'll be by tonight and we can discuss plans." Remus said as he headed to the door.
"Alright, see you around seven then." Tonks took another sip. Remus left with his heart feeling like lead.
Ginny awoke to tapping on her window. Sitting up groggily, she walked over to her window to see Hedwig tapping with a letter attatched to her leg.
"Hedwig!" She gasped. Letting the bird in, she let Hedwig land on her owl stand. Feeding the owl a treat, she untied the letter and unrolled it.
Ginny,
How're you? Stake out is quite boring. Your brother keeps going on about Luna, while I........... I gues I should say it now........ I keep talking about you. Surprised? I bet not. I bet Hermione has shown you my latter to her and it's true. You drive me to distraction. Your pretty little body is burning into the backs of my eyelids and your the name on my lips as I wake up and the thought I calm myself with when I go to sleep. This could mean alot, but it means I love you. I wrote it and you'll hear me say it when I come over holiday. I can't wait, honestly! I'm itchign to get out of where we are, it's boring and cold! Christmas is in a couple of weeks, and I saw the perfect gift for you! Can't say what it is, it'll be a surprise. I'll talk to you later, love.
Harry
Ginny felt tears welling in her eyes, Harry loved her. Loved! Her! Choking on a laugh and sob, she clutched the note to her breast as she smiled. All she'd ever wanted was in this letter. Love!
It was a week later when Tonks met Remus on her doorstep. Dressed in a threadbare suit and a small bundle of flowers.
"Nymphandora. Ready?" Remus' shy smile and the near wilting flowers sent Tonks into tears.
"Oh! The flowers are beautiful!" She gave a watery laugh. "My horomones are going crazy, but it's..."
"It's alright. Come on, let's get you even prettier." He smiled and stepped in to guide Tonks toward her closet. Nervously, Tonks bustled after her to be bridegroom.
Remus flung open Tonks' closet and blinked at the lack of clothing. There were lots of muggle t-shirts and many pairs of jeans that looked entirely too large for the petite Tonks. Furrowing his brow, he began to pilfer through the small amount of clothing.
"R..remus, I...I don't have........er.... much in....." Too late, Remus smirked as he turned. He held Tonks' one dress. It was a girly wispy sundress that her mother sent her many months ago. It was a pale pink that went well with Tonks' true coloring. Flushing, Nymphadora made a grab for the dress. "It's nothing!" She squeaked.
"Nymphadora, honestly. Let's see how it looks. I'm sure it fits too." Laying the dress over Tonks' stiff shoulders, he nudged her toward the bathroom. "Now dress quickly, we have an appointment with the judge in an hour." Shutting the door behind her, Remus sighed roughly as he dragged a sweaty palm down his face. In an hour his bachelorhood was going down in a ball of flames........ Sirius would be cackling his tail wagging ass off. Wanker.... Smiling to himself, he was shaken out of his revery by the quiet click of the door reshutting.
Tonks stood shyly infront of her bathroom door. The dress fit around her pregnant belly and the little strappy sandals that graced her feet made Remus' eyes warm at the sight. She looked the role of a little mother. Blinking back the moisture that threatened to ruin his resolve, he smiled and offered her his hand.
"Let's go get married."
Tonks looked at her hand clasped in Remus' as they walked toward the courtrooms located near the wizarding ministry. She felt safe and enclosed in Remus' presence. He emmenated the word soft. His hair was like dark cornsilk that was constantly falling in his eyes His skin was a dusky hue of tan that looked so soft for the years fo torment he'd gone through after James and Lily's deaths. Even Sirius'. His lips were in a smooth smile and he had a small scar in his upper lip that made him look like he was smirking at all times.
"Do I have something on my teeth?" Remus asked. Color bloomed in Tonks' cheeks.
"No, you look good." Stifling a smile, she leaned into Remus' sturdy frame.
"So do you." Remus pressed a kiss to her temple and Tonks could swear she felt him smile.
"Hermione, he doesn't love me. All he wants is the baby!" He heard Tonks whimper.
"Nymphadora, you know that's not true!" It was Hermione. "It took me long enough to get with Severus, now you can certainly make Remus love you!" Hermione clucked over her for a couple more minutes.
