A/N- Here's chapter two!
Charlie Weasley
Remus' eyes widened in surprise as he stumbled to his knees. Tonks desperately wished she hadn't told him in such an open manor. She knew better not to shock Remus. His face disappeared for a moment in his hands. When his face reappeared, it was shining with tears and he was grinning to Tonks' relief. He walked on his knees to Tonks' side and gave her an awkward side hug.
"I love you so much," he said burying his head in her shoulder. Tonks was beginning to get impatient.
"If you loved me you'd help get out of this toilet," she said letting her mood get the best of her. Remus let her go.
"Sorry Tonks," said Remus hurriedly. He pulled her hands and she stood with a pop. They laughed as someone burst into Grimmauld Place. Mrs. Black immediately began to screech.
"MUD BLOODS! FLITH! BETRAYING THE HOUSE OF MY FATHERS!"
"YOU OLD BAG! GIVE IT A REST!" A young man yelled. Mrs. Black's screams faded
"Tonks, Professor Lupin! What in Merlin's name are you in the bathroom together for?" Ron Weasley said as Tonks lunged for the Muggle pregnancy stick and box. Hastily she tapped the box and stick with her wand. Instantly they were both in flames. She dropped them and Remus stomped the fire out with his shoe. Ron looked shock when his mother joined his side.
"Oh, Remus, Tonks," Mrs. Weasley said. She dropped her large bag and pulled the two of them in a bone cracking hug. When she let go, Remus and Tonks were both gasping for air. She stood back and observed them.
"You two look so much healthier than the last time I saw you," said Mrs. Weasley. "Tonks there's a radiance in your cheeks and Remus you look young as ever! I'm glad you two got back together. Charlie will be surprised," she added as she led them out of the bathroom. Tonks looked nervously at Remus.
"So," Tonks said, "what brought you here?" She asked Mrs. Weasley. Molly whirled around.
"Goodness me I forgot to tell you," she said. "Charlie finally came home!"
Mrs. Weasley pointed between Remus and Tonks and, sure enough, Charlie Weasley was walking up to them. Charlie grinned at Tonks. Remus felt as though something had burst in his chest and was contemplating ideas if Tonks would leave him for Charlie. They had not seen Charlie since the middle of the war when he announced he was soon coming home. That was months ago. Tonks and Remus had been on break then. He held his hand for Remus to shake. Remus shook it after a rather sharp poke from Tonks' elbow in his rib cage.
"Remus, can you help me with some of the luggage? Fred and George brought some of their store whatnots and they're heavy," Ron said. Harry nodded by Ron's side and Remus had no choice but to follow the two young men. Mrs. Weasley left to watch the three men and their work, leaving Tonks and Charlie by themselves. He stared at her for a few moments.
"You look great Tonks," he finally said huskily. Charlie wrapped an arm around her waist. She pulled away from him.
"No, Charlie I must to tell you something," she said looking him desperately in the eyes.
"And what is it you must to tell me?" He said rewrapping his arm across her waist. Before Tonks could answer, another voice joined their conversation.
"That she is dating me," Remus said fiercely. The burst in his stomach was draining onto his organs and his heart was beating angrily. The color from Charlie's face drained color and he quickly took a step away from Tonks.
"How awkward; I am so sorry I didn't know and Tonks was trying telling me –" Remus interrupted angrily.
"Save it." Was all Remus said. Charlie walked from the room with a bright crimson face and ears. Tonks looked at Remus flabbergasted.
"What's gotten into you?" She asked him. He looked at her with firm glowing eyes.
"It's so close to full moon," he said calmly and quietly. "You're considered my mate, so I became protective." He glared at the door in which Charlie had closed behind him.
"I'm considered your mate?" Tonks asked incredulously. Remus blushed and nodded.
"Well, considering the outcome," he gently rubbed her stomach. "I'd say yes. You are my mate." After a moment he asked, "Why is your stomach hard?" Tonks shrugged.
"I guess it's just from being your mate," she said with a grin.
