I knew it was coming, the green light flashed before my eyes. And now, against my better judgement, I had so much to lose.
Unlike the stories of one's life flashing before their eyes, I had the family I had never let myself dream of.
I was fighting for us all but I was leaving behind my sweet baby boy and my loving wife. He was going to look like me and though I wasn't so sure that was a good thing, his mother was rather insistent that nothing better could be in his future.
I would always remember him reaching for me out of his crib; I would never understand how so many people could want me just as I am.
And then his mother, Tonks. It always seemed so silly to call her Tonks when her last name is now Lupin. There is an odd sense of pride in that. And she is yet another who is more than happy to take me as I am, wolf and all.
But as I take my last breath and satisfy myself that because of me, my son will have a brighter future I save the last image of my beautiful wife with her crazy pink hair and duck beak making our brown eyed son laugh and me holding them both close as we wait for our picture to be taken.
And I'm happy knowing that by society's standards, I, Remus Lupin, have succeeded in life.
I knew my time was up but I still wasn't ready to cross over, something was keeping me still.
Everything fell into place though as I felt a small, familiar hand slip into my own. Though I am happy to be with her forever our son is now without both of his parents and that's something winning this war won't change.
And another, hope you enjoyed and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE review! And must I say I don't own the characters, I'm sure not but I'll follow the trend anyway.
