Tonks cried with her son as he read the letters. She truly wished that she could be there to hold her son when he cried. But alas, life was a bitch.
"Do you remember when I gave you you're necklace?" Remus asked his wife. They were the only ones in the room, because the others knew it was a moment meant only for them.
"Yes, and I told you not to spend that kind of money on me." Tonks said with a sad smile.
Flashback
Remus Lupin sat in the Tonks living room waiting for his Dora (He quite liked the sound of that) to come down. She was getting ready for their date.
"You seem nervous, Remus." Remus jumped at the sound of Ted Tonks' voice. He turned around to face the other man, he was barely able to stand still.
"Just a bit," Said Remus. Ted chuckled.
"Do you still have the necklaces, and the ring?" Remus nodded as he fingered the old ring case in his pocket. (It had been in the family for years) He could feel the cold silver on his skin from his own necklace. "Yeah, I just wonder if she'll come to her senses after I ask her." Ted gave Remus a look.
"Remus, you must think positively. You two are in love, she doesn't care if you are a werewolf or not. I don't care either. Andy, on the other hand, is a different story." Remus laughed without humor.
"Andromeda really hates me." He said as he looked down at his old shoes.
Ted shock his head, "No, she doesn't hate you. You did hurt our little girl, Remus. She's very protective of Dora, especially when all her other blood relatives are dead, Death Eaters or have husband who is a Death Eater." Remus said nothing, but nodded.
"Remus, are you still down there?" Tonks called from the top of the stairs. Remus took a deep breath before saying, "I'm in the living room with your father." He made his way into the hall were the stairs were and watched as she made her way down the steps.
Her hair was spiky and pink. She wore a Weird Sisters tee shirt with a pair of ripped jeans. She looked beautiful to Remus. She was the most Beautiful woman in the world.
"You look lovely, Dora." He said as he took her hand and brought it to his lips. She smiled at him and said, "Well, you aren't telling me where we're going. So I just wore my normal Muggle clothing." Remus smiled. Ted smiled at the two and gave Remus thumbs up, before he said, "Hurt her and I'll hex you!" Loud enough for Tonks to hear, which caused the clumsy witch to roll her eyes and almost break her leg.
It wasn't long before they got to a little park. A picnic table was set up with food and had a single candle lit. A rose sat on Tonks' spot, which was charmed to change colors.
"Remus…." Tonks trailed off. Remus smiled shyly and ran his hand through his hair. "Do you like it?" He asked shyly. He didn't expect her to jump him and kiss him right on the mouth. (not that he was complaining) When they pulled apart, she said, "I love it, Remus. I love you." She kissed his lips softly once more. "I love you too, Dora." He said before he kissed her forehead.
"Now," Remus said as he took Tonks hand and lead her to the table, "Let's eat." It was a lovely evening. After dessert, Remus knew that he had to do it then.
"Dora, I have something to ask you." Remus said as he stood up from his seat and made his way over to her. Tonks took one last bit of her chocolate cake, (It was Remus who packed the food, after all) and turned to face him. Remus sat down in front of her and took her hands in his, which caused Tonks to give him a confused look.
"Nymphadora, I love you with all my heart. You are stubborn, clumsy, beautiful, and funny. I don't deserve you," Tonks was about to tell him off, but Remus went on, "But I'm not complaining. I'm going to do the selfish thing and ask you; will you marry me?" Tonks wasted no time in kissing him and saying "Yes, Yes, YES!" In between those kisses. Remus smiled and pulled out his mother's ring and slid it on her after she stopped kissing him long enough.
"It was my mothers." Remus said as Tonks looked at the simple yet beautiful ring on her finger. "Its beautiful." Tonks said. Remus smiled and pulled out the necklace.
"I also got you this." He said as he handed her the necklace case.
"Remus John Lupin! You didn't need to get me a necklace! This was enough!" But she opened it nonetheless. Inside was a beautiful silver chain and silver wolf pendent. "Oh Remus, it's beautiful! But you didn't need to spend money of gifts for me!" She said before he hit her fiancé softly. Remus just smiled and helped her put the necklace on.
"It will protect you from other werewolves, because it is made of pure silver. Watch what happens when you put our necklaces together." That was the first time Tonks noticed that Remus too wore a necklace around his neck. She watched as he hooked them together, before a saying in Latin formed on the back.
"Amorem morte carent," It read. "It means Our love shall never die, in Latin. I found it perfect because of the war." Tonks had tears in her eye as she hugged him.
"I love you." She whispered into his neck.
"I love you too, Dora." He said before he kissed her pink hair.
I hope you liked it.
