Flashback

Tonks had been glaring at Lupin the whole night. He determinedly avoided her eyes, but he knew why she was staring, he had broken up with her when Mrs. Weasley announced that Harry needed any help he could get a few months ago. Remus Lupin willingly gambled his life in the battle of Death Eaters and members of the Order. Tonks, on the other hand, didn't want to face her deranged family. However, Hermione and Ginny got her to come around.

It was sad for Tonks to watch her family slowly fall like Sirius had. Most of Tonks' extended family was either dead or in Azkaban.

It was in the past though. They're celebrating now, Harry did it. He did it.

End of flashback

Middle of May

Tonks Apparated in her apartment with such a loud crack that she almost fell over. She stumbled her way over to a patched couch and collapsed on it. Tonks whipped out her wand and flicked at the fire place. A roaring fire crackled and snapped as though it had been burning for hours. It was colder than usual. The weather was mourning for the fall of Voldemort.

Strange.

The wizarding world was in a festive mood; He-Who-Must-Not-be-Named was dead. Tonks kicked her trainers off and sprawled her body across the springy chair. She heaved a long and loud sigh. A voice cleared behind her.

"Tonks?" said an all too familiar voice. Tonks tried to get up but she only flopped to the floor with a loud thump.

"Lupin!" she said putting her head up. She scrambled to her feet. Remus smiled sadly.

"We need to talk," said Remus, he sat on the couch and patted the seat next to him. Tonks sat but didn't look at him.

"Look, Tonks, I'm sorry I broke it off," Remus said. She tried to nod, but all her muscles seemed to have froze.

"It was too sudden and I was selfish."

"You weren't selfish, Remus."

"Yes I was and you know it." It was true, actually.

"The Order is having a party over at Godric's Hollow," Remus continued, "d'you want to come?" Tonks thought for a moment. She stood and showed Remus to the door.

"Well that makes a whole lot of sense. You tell me that your sorry for calling it off and then you ask me to go to a party. Thanks, but no thanks," Tonks said icily. Remus made an odd face and reached for the door knob, but instead her grabbed Tonks by the shoulders. Tonks didn't fend him off but she felt herself fall towards him. Almost instantly they were involved in a heavy snogging fest. Each time they broke apart she would glare at him and they would slam forward for another angry kiss. Remus peeled his tattered robe off and threw it on the floor.

"Wait," Tonks panted as Remus began kissing the side of her neck. "Stop."

"What?" Remus said as he lifted his head from her collar. Tonks brow furrowed for a moment as though she were thinking of a something.

"Nothing," she said simply. Tonks leaned toward him.

"Are we moving too fast?" Remus asked. Tonks shook her head as she unbuttoned her pants.

"No, no, I'm just fine."

Bright lights woke Tonks up the next morning. She moved on her side and a searing shot of pain echoed in her hips. She squinted her eyes open and found a man's arm draped over her bare chest. Memories of the night before flooded her brain and she vaguely remembered certain things.

Remus's arm.

"Morning Lupin," she said loudly as she turned to face him. His eyes popped open; he was slightly cross-eyed. He breathed deeply from his nose and he made a soft humming noise.

"We probably shouldn't have done that," Remus said softly.

"So? I think maybe we did move a little fast, though," Tonks groaned theatrically. Remus smiled, wanly. Tonks noticed that under his eyes were gray circles. After a moment of looking at each other, Lupin blushed and turned away.

"Do you want breakfast?" he asked wrapping one of the white sheets around his waist.

"Sure. I'll be down in a minute," said Tonks.

"Alright, let me go salvage my clothes."

Three months later...

Remus was sitting on the overly patched couch at Number 12 Grimmauld Place. He was reading a very boring book about a witch defeating numerous magical creatures with a flick of her wand. Remus flipped the book over and found that it was not a witch, but Molly Weasley's Gilderoy Lockhart book. Remus bit back a laugh and turned to Tonks, who just walked in the room.

"Do you think I am pudgy?" she asked. Lupin's smile slid off his face.

"No, of course not," he answered, quite meeting her eyes. Sure, she had gained weight but Tonks looked fine nonetheless. She sat next to him.

"You have to say that," she said moodily. Remus repressed rolling his eyes with difficulty.

"You've been really, er , how should I say this? Moody," he said turning away from her. Tonks sighed.

"I blame the vomiting that I've been doing," she put a hand on her stomach as though she were about to be sick.

"Should I get you a bowl?" Remus asked swiftly. Tonks shook her head.

"No, it's usually in the morning," she said as she sprawled out on the couch, over Remus' lap. He gently put a hand on her belly and then he snapped. Everything just fit.

"Oh Merlin, you're pregnant!" Remus almost shouted. Tonks jerked herself up. She had dozed off.

"Huh? What did I miss?" She said as she scrambled off his lap.

"You are pregnant," Remus said.

"What time is it?" Tonks asked him. Remus threw his hands up.

"Did you not hear what I said? This isn't good," he said. It was illegal for him to have children.

"What time is it?" Tonks roared. Remus glanced at his watch.

"It's 6:34. Why?" he asked. Tonks led him out of the house by his arm.

"We are going to buy one of those muggle pregnancy sticks," Tonks said grinning. "I've always, if I ever had kids, wanted to use one of those."

After they had walked to the store, attempted to get muggle money, and found the little Muggle stick, they walked in a dead silence back to Grimmauld Place. Tonks suddenly broke the silence by laughing.

"What?" Remus asked worriedly. He felt jumpy as though people were staring him down.

"It says, well, it says I have to," she cleared her throat, "Urinate on it." She finished with a giggle as she headed toward the bathroom. She took the test and washed her hands. Under the instructions was a small rhyme, 'If blue, expect something NEW!' She glanced at the stick which was bright blue. Tonks felt oddly moved by the color and it felt as though something very heavy was pushing on her chest. She sat on the toilet, which she hadn't put the lid down. Tonks was soon at the mercy of the toilet, for her buttocks were stuck in it.

"REMUS!" Tonks shrieked as she flailed desperately in the toilet. Remus suddenly burst through the bathroom door and flashed an evil grin. He almost collapsed with laughter.

"Yeah, real nice way you treat the mother of your child," Tonks snarled from the toilet. That sobered Remus in a second.
