Ding Dong

It was December, and Nymphadora Tonks was five months pregnant, and without her husband. Her father had been on the run ever since he had heard about the new Muggle-Born Legislation. Tonks made a move as to get up, but her mother shot her back down.

"No Dora! You sit, relax. I'll get the door." Andromeda opened the door to reveal a snow-covered Remus Lupin.

"It is I, Remus John Lupin, sodding git who left Nymphadora, his pregnant wife, werewolf, and one of the creators of the Marauder's Map."

Andromeda pursed her lips, "I have no idea why my daughter is in love with you, because it's obvious that you don't care one bit about her."

Remus shook his head, "That's not true, it's the exact opposite actually. I care too much about her, I don't want to hurt—"

"YOU DON'T WANT TO HURT HER? WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'VE BEEN DOING? DOING HER A FAVOR? DOING YOUR UNBORN CHILD A FAVOR? RIDICULOUS! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU WOULD—"

"Mum, let me talk to him okay?" Tonks said from the hallway. Andromeda nodded, turned, and stormed out of there. Unlike her mother Tonks didn't look angry, but worse, she looked disappointed. "I thought you were through running away from me Remus?"

"Dora, I—it's so difficult, I don't want a poor child to have a werewolf for a father, it's not fair to them. Besides, it'll just be ashamed of me—"

Tonks shook her head, "I think that the baby would be more ashamed of you if you hadn't come back." She wrapped her arms around Remus, "I missed you so much," she mumbled into his shirt.

"I missed you too," Remus said, confused, "I thought that you would hate me, after all that I've done. I left you again—"

"But you came back. Both times you came to your senses and came back. That's what's important to me, the fact that you're here now."

"I'll never leave you again Dora," Remus told her, watching her hair turn from a mousy brown to a radiant bubble-gum pink, his favorite.

Tonks smiled, "Wanna feel your baby kick?" He nodded, and she took his scarred hand in her own small one and placed it on her stomach. He smiled as he felt the small thump.

"This is really happening," Remus stated plainly, "not the way I would have planned, but it's happening."

Tonks nodded, "What can I say, pink and grey go together."

In March, Ted Tonks and Dirk Cresswell were found dead, killed by death eaters.

In April, Teddy Remus Lupin was born, Harry Potter was named godfather.

On May 1, Remus John Lupin and Nymphadora Tonks Lupin were killed by Antonin Dolohov and Bellatrix Lestrange.

(A/N) I'm working on a sequel, Turquoise, about Teddy. It should be out fairly soon.
