A/N for this chapter:
I am going to work my butt off on this chapter. I love you guys, all of you, for giving me all this positive feedback. It really does make me want to write more. Especially Neviwyn's encouragement. Anyway, on with the show.
I continued to fret throughout the week, and before I realised it, it was the day before the full moon, and it came as a shock to me that I had not visited the Potions Master and therefore did not have my Wolfsbane. I realised with a mixture of regret and terror that it was far too late for me to get some, and therefore I would have to transform without it.
She was gone to work when I miserably realised I might hurt her the next night, so I had to patiently (Or impatiently, depending on how you look at it) wait until she got home. I knew better than to worry her, so I spent most of the day wondering how I could tell her without panicking her.
"I wish Sirius were here," I said aloud at around mid-day, when I still hadn't come to a solution. "He would know what to do, and even if he didn't, Tonks could go to his house and stay and keep Kreacher company. "Oh stop it," I said to myself, in a voice that was not quite my own. "You know he's not here and it's no use worrying and wishing he were here. Right now you have to worry about not hurting your fiancée tommorow night, so get thinking, Mr. Lupin." That made me laugh, because it sounded like something Tonks would say.
At around 3:30, I got up to make a cup of tea because I still hadn't come to a solution. I knew I had to send her somewhere, or I had to go somewhere. But where? My mind was frenzied as I tried to think of a place where I could go. Then, my gaze drifting to a photograph of Sirius hanging on the wall, it hit me: I could go to the Shrieking Shack. I could be safe there, but I really didn't want to leave her all by herself. I could take her with me at the risk of her being hurt, but I could absolutely not have anything happen to her or our baby. It took me a little while, but I finally came to the solution that since the Shack was in Hogsmead, I could always let her wander around Hogsmead and come back to visit me when the transformation was over.
When she got home, I made sure I had dinner ready when she got home, and when I presented the idea to her, she was delighted. "That means I can be with you, right? But I can go shopping too, and of course the baby needs things, so I can buy things for the baby and show you when you're well again, and I can stay in a hotel, and it will be okay, and I still get to see you."
I'm not sure why, but her assurance made me feel a whole lot better.
A/N: The next chapter will be a lot longer I hope. Chapters five and this one I wrote at school, so... (
