Each chapter is like a journal entry and will be based on one line of Teddy's poem. Most chapters will also have a short RLNT one-shot in it. Please review.

Chapter 1

My name is Teddy,

Well, my real name is Ted Remus Lupin, but I like Teddy better. It's what my parents called me. I was named Ted for my grandfather; he died shortly before I was born. And Remus Lupin, well, that was my dad's name. Gran says that Mum insisted that my middle name be Remus until she almost started crying.

Tonks smiled fondly down at the little baby tucked securely in her arms. He was her son. She was so happy now, drained, but happy. He still needed a name, and Remus chided in with the perfect suggestion at that moment. "We should name him Ted, for your father," he paused. "Dora, what do you think?"

She just smiled up at him. That was the perfect name for their son, just how could she reply to that? "Remus, Teddy Remus. That has to be his name. Teddy Remus Lupin," she said slowly, testing the name on her tongue.

"No, it can't. It can't be his name"

"It has to be Remus." She said, tears forming in her eyes. "What if we don't…" she continued, letting the question die on her lips.

"Dora, don't cry. We just won't let that happen. It's okay," he said, holding her close, not really sure who he was comforting.
