Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter.

Teddy woke up to the sun in his eyes. Groaning, the young werewolf rolled over in bed and tried to go back to sleep, with no luck. After about ten minutes of trying to fall asleep, Teddy deemed it useless and got up out of bed. He felt stiff and achy all over, when he looked at himself in the mirror, he was pale and he couldn't change his hair. Tonight's transformation wasn't going to be one of the less painful ones, he mused.

He found a note from Lily, telling him that she had an interview and that she would be home before he had to leave. She also told him that she loved him and to take his potion. He smiled at that. Lily always worried about him.

He made himself toast (he wasn't that hungry) and drank a glass of water before he took his potion, he found that it went down easier if he ate first (In his option). After eating and taking his ghastly potion, he took a shower, trying to relax his muscles. He didn't know of Lily's return home until he got out of the shower.

"How was the interview?" Teddy asked when he caught sight of her in the bedroom while he looked for a clean pair of boxers. Lily didn't answer him at first, she was too busy staring at her boyfriend in only a towel (it was quite a sight, really).

"It went well. Auntie Luna still wants me to write for her, but I'm not so sure yet. The editor of Prophet will owl me tomorrow with their answer. Now enough about me, how has your day been so far?" She asked as she plopped down on the bed. Teddy, who just finished putting on his jeans, sat down next to his girlfriend, and sighed.

"Well it hasn't been eventful," he said as he gave her a sideways glance, "but I have a feeling that tonight's transformation isn't going to be one of the less painful ones. I can't even change my hair, which is never a good sign." Lily got behind him and began to rub his shoulders, earning a groan of approval from Ted.

This of course lead to other things.

*Later*

After making love, Lily had fallen asleep, snuggled to Ted. Teddy sighed, he didn't want to leave her, he wanted to stay with her and hold her until morning, but he knew he couldn't do that. So he got up and put on a pair of jeans, a tee shirt and a sweatshirt before he kissed Lily's forehead. "Be safe, Lily." He said, before deciding to write her a small note. With that, he left.

He made it to the Potter's just as the sun finished setting. He quickly made his way into the shack and took off his clothes and put his wand in a safe place. It was a bit awkward, standing there naked for about ten minutes, but Teddy didn't want to ruin his clothes (that was his favorite Weird Sisters Tee shirt).

After was seemed like forever, the moon was out. Once the rays hit Ted, he could feel the pain.

It was like having the Cruciatus Curse put on you while every bone in your body is being broken. It was the worst pain Teddy had ever felt in his life.

You would almost think that at times like this, Teddy would resent his father, but he didn't.

During every transformation, Teddy felt closer to his father. He understood what his father had to go through each month, over and over again. He didn't hate his father for this, he hated the man who turned his father into a werewolf. Of course, when Teddy was a teenager, he resented his father just a little after his first few transformations, but then Harry gave him a notebook that Remus kept, about many of his own transformations. This helped Teddy greatly, it even helped him learn about werewolf mates, even if his father never quite said anything about it, he hinted at it.

After the transformation was complete, a werewolf stood were Teddy once did. He whined, his mate wasn't there with him, before he howled, almost like he was letting Lily know that he was okay. Then he curled up in a ball and went to sleep.

*Meanwhile, with Lily*

Lily woke up not long after Teddy left. She was upset to see that he had already left, but she spotted his note and read it quickly.

Lily,

I know this is our first full moon living together, and I know you wanted to send me off, but I just couldn't wake you. You look so beautiful when you're sleeping (you're beautiful all the time). Don't worry about me, okay. Just don't do anything stupid and too Gryffindor while I'm gone. I love you, be safe.

Love,

Teddy

Lily smiled sadly at the note. She looked out the window to see the full moon, and a shiver went down her spine, and she swore she heard his howl. You might have, sort of, Lily mused. She smiled and went back to bed, but not before changing into one of his shirts.

*In Heaven*

Tonks smiled sadly at Lily. She knew what it was like, knowing that you couldn't be with them while they changed, and knowing how much pain they were in. She didn't notice that she was crying until Remus wiped her tears away.

"Are you okay, Dora?" Remus asked, his voice caring and loving. Tonks smiled and kissed his lips softly.

"I'm oaky, Remus. I just know what Lily's going through. She feels like she should be there for Teddy, but she knows that it would be safer for both of them, even with the potion, to stay at home and worry there." Remus and Tonks were the only ones there, Lily and James were doing Merlin only knows what, while Sirius was on a date with his girlfriend. Fred was playing pranks on Snape all by himself.

"I know love," Remus said as he watched their son and his mate. "I know."
