Sorry about the long wait, I had a horrible case of writers block. Then again it could have also been the fact that the teachers decided to give us a ton of homwork on our first week of school. Anyway when the writting is underlined, thats what Tonks is thinking. And for those of you who had the question of why Bill can't have kids, you'll find you answer in this chapter. (and if you still don't know why, then you have issues..) Don't be afraid to review!
And a big thanks to Periwinkle4444, who has helped me sooooo much with this whole story writing thing.
Disclaimer: I still don't own them, any of them. So deal with it and don't sue me.

Remus turned around and slowly walked towards his study, where he kept all of his books. He grabbed random book and turned to sit on the couch, where he curled up and began to read.
" Hey! I'm back!" Shouted a familiar voice.
Remus looked up from his book and glanced at the clock, 5:38.
Wow, I've been reading that long. Time really does fly!
"Have you eaten yet?" No answer came. "That's a stupid question, you never eat unless I force you."
She heard a chuckle from the other room.
"Get over here and help me make something to eat!"
Remus had to laugh, but when he heard that last phrase, he jumped up and quickly walked to the kitchen. Tonks couldn't cook for crap. Not that she would want to.
"Coming mother" He said.
I'm gonna murder that kid. Oh shit! I am thinking like his mother. I blame him for bring this upon me.
"There you are-"
"Yes, here I am, now you wanted me to help you with cooking?" He said with a wolfish grin on his face.
"Well yes, unless you like everything well-done?"
"Are you threatening me with food?"
"Maybe, maybe not."
Why can't women just give us straight answers, they've got to make every thing so confusing!
"Well, in that case I guess I should help. Considering that this is my place, and you're the one looking after it." Said Remus, trying to get out of helping.
"You have a point, now start cooking." Commanded Tonks.
"Cooking what exactly?"
He's just trying to annoy me. And damn! It's working!
"Honestly, if you want someone to help you, you've got to tell them what you want them to do. Otherwise their no help." He said slyly, still trying to get out of helping, and it wasn't working.
"You are no help." She said, "You wise mouth." Then she made it clear by jabbing him in the chest with her finger.
"Ok, ok. You win," He said while throwing his hands up. "What shall I do?"
"First you can stop asking questions, then you can get a bowl and begin to prepare a salad."
"But, I don't like salads." Complained Remus, acting a little boy.
He is doing this purposely, I swear.
"Too bad. Do it anyway."
There was awkward silence, till Tonks felt the need to break it.
This silence is going to drive me nuts!
"So, how was you little talk with Arthur?"
Remus was hoping she wouldn't ask, or at least he was praying for it to happen later. He hadn't thought of a way tell her, with out making a big deal. But this whole ordeal was a big deal.
"It was good, yeah know."
"Actually, I don't know. Could you explain what you talked about, so I could, ah… get a better understanding of what made it so good?" Tonks was hoping that he would get the hint and tell her what they talked about, because it must have been bad because Remus never joked around anymore, unless he was hiding something.
Well, here goes nothing. Actually, here goes everything, funny how it works eh? This can't be good; I'm talking to myself…
"Bill didn't have to go through the, ah" He was stalling, and she knew it. "The transformations during the full moon, and he said that it is likely that he never will have to." Ok, he felt better now that he got that part of his chest.
"That's great news," Remus's smile began disappear. "That's not all, what aren't you telling me?"
Usually he is very good at hiding things from people, and making up lies of why he can't tell them when they ask. But when Tonks is around, its like she is able to get information out of him so easily. He didn't understand how she could do that.
"Well, you know how I can't have kids because of my condition right?"
"Yeah, Remus what are you trying to say?"
This just keeps getting harder and harder.
"Bill won't be able to have kids because of the lycanthropy, ever." After hearing it once, he thought that it was hard enough, but to repete it to someone that same day, it was just deppressing.
Tonks hands immidiatly flew to her mouth. She grabbed Remus and pulled him in for a hug and she just started crying, right there on his shoulder.
Okay, what do I do now? Rub her back, that's what I'll do.
Why am I crying. Was it because Bill couldn't have kids? Or was it for some other reason that she didn't know of. It's got to be a combination of both. But I didn't cry when I found out that Remus couldn't have kids. Perhaps it was because Bill was going to be married. Wait.
Tonks finally let got of Remus, which to him was a good thing.
"Is Bill still going to marry Fleur?"
Remus had been dreading this question, silently hoping that she wouldn't ask.
"Yes, Bill still plans on marrying Fleur, even though Molly doesn't think it was a good idea."
Tonks was confused. Why wouldn't Molly want Fleur to marry Bill? Everyone knows that Molly wasn't crazy about the idea to begin with, but wasn't it a good thing that they still wanted to get married?
"But, I don't understand. Why doesn't Molly want them to get married?"
He didn't want to get into this conversation because it was a touchy subject and it might develop into a conversation about why he wouldn't start a relationship with her.
"I'm not sure really," he was trying so hard not to look her in the eyes. "I'm guessing it's something to do with the war." He was also trying not to say that it might have something to do with his condition.
"Oh," Its not that Tonks thought he was lying, but she could tell that he was holding something back.
I'll ask him about when he feels like taking about. Otherwise he would just pull away farther. Sometimes it's so easy to get him to talk about his feelings and get him to open up about what's on his mind. Then there were those other times when it was just impossible to get a word out of him.

So was it worth the wait? I think I see the end of this in site, maybe two more chapters. I'm still unsure. So tell me what you think and review, because you will feel better once you do.
