It was cold. In fact saying it was cold was an understatement and it wasn't the weather that was chilling so much as the cemetery around them. The wind seemed to blow so much harder when they had walked in through the gates and as they made the away across the numerous headstones. Rebecca pulled her coat around herself closer and leaned in towards Remus who put his arm around her and pulled her closer to him.

"Oh you're warm." She smiled as she leaned her head against his shoulder.

"All for you." He said and kissed her forehead as they walked down the grass path until they reached their destination. The two headstones seemed too ominous as they approached them and she could feel his grip around her tighten as they neared until they stopped before the stones.

Carol Ann Lupin loving wife and mother.

John Phillip Lupin loving husband and father.

They stood there for what seemed like forever. She looked at Remus as he stared at the graves silently before stepping forward and placing the flowers on to the grave.

"Are you ready to go?" He asked, as he looked at her, his eyes teary.

"Are you?" She asked and he nodded before she took his hand.

"Thanks for coming with me."

"I wouldn't have missed it for the world, I know how import this is to you." She said as she wrapped her arms around him.

"I ask myself every day how I ever got you." He sighed in to her neck and she smiled. His hand rested on the bump on her belly and he looked at the graves. "My mum always wanted grandchildren, said she would spoil them rotten."

"I would believe it too." She laughed.

"I just wish they were here, you know to be here, I know they would want to be."

"I know."

"Have you told your parents?"

"No…" She said and bit her lip before pulling away from him. "I know my mom wouldn't approve, you know without being married and all." She said and stared off across the cemetery.

"We could…if you want." He said as he stepped up behind her.

"What?" She asked as she turned around.

"Get married."

"What?" She asked as her eyebrows rose.

"Well it wouldn't be official, the anti werewolf laws…but-."

"Married?" She asked breathlessly. "Remus I don't think we're…you know ready for something like that."

"Oh gosh I shouldn't have brought it up." He said as he ran his hands through his hair. "I just thought- are you mad?" He asked as he looked at her face, which held mixed emotions.

"Remus I'm not mad I just- no Remus I'm not mad, it was just kind of unexpected you know- and its not like I wouldn't Remus I just…I just think right now isn't the right time, I mean we just barely…we're just getting back…you know?" She said as she slowly trailed off.

"Yeah I understand." He sighed and looked around.

"Remus." She said as she lightly took his face and made him look at her. "I don't want to get married because of this." She said as she held his hand to her stomach. "And I don't want you to feel obligated to do things either…besides." She said and bit her lip. "I don't think I am ready for something like that." She said and his face fell slightly. "You know…at this point in time..."

"No, I understand." He said with a nod. "I don't know what I was thinking, I'm sorry."

"Remus why are you always apologizing?"

"I shouldn't have sprung something up like that, it was very un-." He said before she cut him off with a kiss.

"Lets go." She said with a smile and took his hand.

"I love when you do that." He smiled before sending one last glance at the graves and started their trek back across the cemetery.

"Are you almost ready to go Becky?" Remus asked as he poked his head in to the living room and saw her pacing in front of the fireplace. She stopped and looked at him somewhat frantically.

"Remus I don't know if I can do this." She said twisting her shirt around in her hands.

"Becky it's going to be fine."

"Come on you remember what happened last time, I wasn't even pregnant then, my mom is going to have a field day with this."

He walked up to her and took her hands in his own.

"Does it really matter what she thinks because the Becky I know doesn't care what people think, she just does things her way."

She pursed her lips in a frown and leaned her head against his shoulder. "How bad could it be huh?"

"And we can always leave." He said kissing the side of her head.

"Alright, lets go and get it over with." She sighed.

"It wont be so bad, I am sure they will be happy."

"Says you." She muttered as he stepped forward to get the fire started and held the pot of floo powder out to her.

"Perhaps I shouldn't be flooing, I mean what about if it has lasting effects on the baby?'

"Becky you floo all the time." He said blandly and she grabbed a handful of the powder with contempt.

"It will be fine do you want to go first?"

"I better." She said and stepped towards the fireplace. "Wait." She said and turned to him. "We should have some sort of code indicating that we should leave."

"Yes what would you like for it to be?"

"It has to be something discreet." She said and he smiled. "What?"

"Is discreet really your strong suit." He chuckled and she rolled her eyes.

"Alright I'll just say I want to get the hell out of there and we'll leave, capiche?"

"Like I said, very discreet." He chuckled and she turned to the fireplace and disappeared through it.

She stumbled out nearly tripping but managed to catch herself before she lost her balance and stood up and looked around.

"Who is it?" She heard her father from the next room and soon he appeared at the doorway. "If it isn't my little girl." He smiled as he came over to her and planted a kiss on top of her head. The fire glowed green before Remus stepped out gracefully, dusting himself off.

"Hello Mr. Walcott, how are you today?" Remus asked as he extended his hand out to her father.

"Very good, how are you?"

"I must say I am doing well." Remus smiled.

"Excellent. Now let me just inform your mother you're here, this is kind of unexpected." Her father smiled before disappearing and she turned to Remus.

"You doing alright?"
"Yeah, fine." She muttered as she took his hand and led him to the next room.

"Rebecca, you're back, it's been so long we were starting to think you had forgotten about us." Her mother said from the table over a glass of wine and a magazine.

"Yeah…been kind of busy."

"Too busy to visit your family? The people who raised you and-."

"Yes mother I have been very busy." Rebecca interrupted and looked at her father before sitting down at the table.

"There is actually something I need to tell you guys." She said and Remus stood behind her placing his hands on her shoulders lightly, massaging the back of her neck in attempt to relax her but nothing could relax her now.

"Dad would you mind?" She asked as she motioned to one of the chairs and he gave her an odd look before complying. Rebecca took a deep breath and looked up at Remus before looking at her parents.

"You're pregnant." Her mother said not looking up from her magazine.

"How did you-."

"Its hard to hide you know."

"What?" Her father said somewhat shocked.

"Yep, I'm pregnant." Rebecca sighed as she clasped her hands together. Her mother continued reading her magazine and her father stared gawking at her seemingly unable to say a word.

"I-I-I-I…" Her father trailed as he leaned back in his seat and Rebecca looked at her mother who glanced over her reading glasses with a raised eyebrow.

"How far along are you?"

"About two months."

"And it's yours?" She said and looked up at Remus who shifted uncomfortably and nodded.

"This is probably the most careless thing you have gotten yourself in to Rebecca, bravo."

"Mother-."

"And how do you expect to raise this child? Babies cost money which…you do not have."

"You know, just because I don't have some big shot Ministry position does not mean we can not afford to have a family." Rebecca snapped.

"How can you expect to take care of a child, you're still one yourself Rebecca, this pregnancy proves your inability to maintain responsibility."

"How can you be so damn hypocritical?"

"You're throwing your life away Rebecca, you can do so much better yet you squander it away-."

"I can't believe you!" Rebecca said as she slammed her fist in to the table.

"Becky-." Remus said as he laid a hand on her shoulder.

"We're leaving." Rebecca said and stood up. "You'll be damn lucky to ever see this child." Rebecca snapped as she looked at her mother.

"You wouldn't-."

"Oh believe me I would, you're so damn hypocritical, don't pretend like you weren't ever in this situation and you sit here and degrade my career and degrade my ability to maintain my own life, I hate you." Rebecca sneered and grabbed a hold of Remus' arm and pulled him in to the next room.

"Rebecca." Her father called after her and she turned to him with a glare.

"And you just sit there." She said as tears filled her eyes. "Do you not have anything to say?"

"Can we please talk about this?"

"I have never asked you for anything more than to be there for me and the one time I really need you, you fail to help me, so no, good day." She said and held out the pot to Remus and motioned him through before she turned to her father.

"I have nothing to say to her, she is the one that has to fix this, not me." She said before turning on her heel and disappearing through the fireplace.

"You look happy Moony." James said as Remus sat down on the couch.

"Yeah." He smiled as he folded his hands in his pockets. "Becky asked me to move back in."

"That's great." James smiled and glanced at Sirius who got up and walked out of the room.

"What's with Padfoot?" Remus asked as he looked from Sirius leaving back to James.

"I don't know, he has been rather off lately, hasn't said a word though." James shrugged.

"I don't know, everything just seems to be a lot better, I know its going to take some time before we get back to the way things used to be but…I think we can do it, I regret ever leaving."

"Hey Moony you did what you had to."

"I know but I shouldn't have left, things might not be the way that they are, you know?"

"Yeah, well I am happy for you mate, you seem really happy."

"I am."

"Are you guys busy? No? Thanks." Fabian said as he dropped some files down between Remus and James.

"What is all this."

"Last weeks murders, we're supposed to go through them and see if we can find any connections." Fabian said as he took the empty seta across from them.

"Do we have to?" James asked with a groan as he picked up a folder.

"I was having such a good day." Remus grumbled as he flipped through one and closed it.

"Lets just get it over with." Fabian said as he opened up one of the files.

"Hey boys." Rebecca said as she walked in with a smile and bent down and kissed Remus. "What are you doing?"

"Going through murder files. Want to help?" Fabian said as he looked up.

"Ohhh you know it's really tempting but I am afraid I have…better things to do." She said with a small smile.

"Come on what could you have better to do than this?" James asked as he handed her a file and she flipped through it before closing it.

"Lily and I are having lunch in a bit, I am just waiting for her late ass to get here because I am starving." She sighed. "Damn pregnancy and before you say anything we are going in to muggle London so you don't have to worry so much." She said as she looked at Remus and James with a smile.

"Sorry I'm late." Lily said as she rushed in quickly.

"What was it this time?" Rebecca asked in a bored manner.

"I couldn't find my coat."

"Why didn't you use your wand?" Rebecca sighed.

"I couldn't find my wand but I am here now so lets go." She said and gave James a kiss.

"You two be safe, keep an eye out." He said and Rebecca rolled her eyes.

"I prefer my eyes in my skull thank you." Rebecca said and James paused before scoffing.

"Oh you just got it?" She teased.

"Oh sod off, have fun you two." He said and Rebecca smiled.

"Don't worry I'll bring her back in one piece."

"You better." James smiled.

"Hey its fine." Remus said as he squeezed Rebecca's hand with an assuring smile as they sat in the examination room.

"I know, I'm just…kind of excited."

"Me too." He smiled and there was a knock on the door and the Healer poked her head in to the room.

"Hello Becky, how are you?" She asked with a bright smile.

"Pretty good Val."

"Alright why don't we lay you down and get started, I am sure you are excited to see your baby."

Rebecca laid back and rolled her shirt up and looked at Remus with a smile. The lights were dimmed before a picture appeared above Rebecca's stomach showing the baby. The healer moved the wand around her stomach to change the position.

"There's your baby." She said and Rebecca stared at the tiny shape like thing with amazement.

"Wow." Remus smiled as he watched the heart beat.

"I know." She said breathlessly as she took his hand.

"The baby seems to be healthy, and I know about your situation but it seems to me the baby is completely healthy."

"Really?" Remus asked breathlessly.

"Yes." She smiled and Rebecca smiled at Remus and squeezed his hand.

"How are you doing Becky?"

"I'm fine." She trailed as she continued to stare at her baby. "I've started getting a little morning sickness however, nothing I can't handle though."

"That's great, lets see you are about 10 weeks along, we should be able to tell the sex of the baby by your next visit. What are you hoping for?"

"I don't know, I am not all that concerned. What about you Remus?"

"As long as it's healthy, I could care less." He said and kissed her cheek.

"Alright, any questions?"

"Nope." Rebecca said and looked at Remus who shook his head.

"Alright well just check in with Maria on your way out to schedule your next appointment. Have a good day you two, see you tomorrow Becky." Val said before leaving the room and Rebecca sat up and looked at Remus who held a goofy relieved grin on his face.

"I told you that you have nothing to worry about." She said and he looked up at her and wrapped his arms around her, burying his face in to her neck. She wrapped her arms around him with a laugh and kissed his temple.

"I love you, you know that?" He mumbled in to her neck.

"Yes I know, I love you too."

"Have you thought of any names?" He asked as he pulled back slightly.

"Not really, have you?"

"Whatever you want I am sure I will love."

"We'll have to pick something together, after all it's your kid too."

"Alright together it is."

"Lets go get some lunch, I am starved." She said as she hopped off the table and grabbed her coat.

Rebecca stared at herself sideways in the mirror and frowned as she tried to suck in her stomach.

"Becky is everything alright?" Remus asked from the other side of the bathroom door.

"Yeah." She sighed as she stared at herself in the mirror before opening the door.

"What's wrong?" Remus asked as she stepped out.

"I feel fat." She sighed as she picked up her coat from the bed.

"Becky you aren't fat." He said with a smile as he walked over to her.

"Yes I am."

He smiled as he planted a kiss on her shoulder, laying his hands on her belly. "I think you look beautiful."

"Liar." She grumbled.

"I wouldn't lie to you."

"I feel so fat though, I feel like a- like a huge person." She said and turned around to face him with tears in her eyes.

"Oh Becky don't cry." He said as he wiped away the tears as they fell from her eyes.

"I'm sorry, I'm just so- so-."

"Becky its fine." He smiled and kissed her forehead.

"We should go, we're going to be late for the party." She said as she stepped away from him.

"Are you sure you want to go?"

"Yes I am sure."

They apparated to the Potters and walked up to the door and Remus knocked. The sound of voices rose and the door opened up. Rebecca looked at Lily and to her very pregnant belly. Suddenly Rebecca burst in to tears and Lily looked horrified at Remus as he turned to Rebecca.

"Becky what's wrong?" Lily asked as Rebecca buried her face in Remus' shoulder.

"We're having emotional distress." He said softly and Rebecca lifted her head and glared at him. He opened his mouth to say something but Rebecca had already stepped in to the house leaving him behind outside.

"She says she feels fat." Remus said bleakly as Lily invited him in.

"Oh." She laughed as she closed the door behind her. "The boys are in the living room, do you want something to drink?"

"Not at the moment thank you." He smiled before walking down the hall and Lily smiled to herself as she made her way down to the kitchen and saw Rebecca looking through the fridge.

"Becky is everything alright?" Lily asked cautiously as she peered in to the kitchen and Rebecca pulled out the orange juice and shut the door as she wiped her tears.

"I'm sorry, I just…" She said and leaned against the counter.

"Becky I understand, I know exactly how you feel." Lily laughed.

"I just feel so fat and seeing you…no offense…" She mumbled as she poured herself a glass.

"Don't worry about it, it wont last forever, that's what I tell myself."

"Does it work?"

"Sometimes, but hey, I think the tradeoff is pretty good don't you?"

"I suppose."

"Oh where can one get a decent drink?" Someone said and Rebecca looked to the doorway as a blonde came through the doorway with an empty glass.

"Who are you?" Rebecca asked, as she looked her up and down briefly. She was tall and pretty and Rebecca could have sworn she had seen her around somewhere.
"Oh." Lily said and pursed her lips as she looked at Rebecca.

"This is Olivia Florence." Lily said and seemed to be forcing a smile.

"Hey." Olivia said as she opened the fridge and searched through it before turning to Lily. "Alcohol?"

"Uh-." Lily said and paused before Olivia's eyes landed on the half empty wine bottle sitting on the counter.

"This is fine." She said as she grabbed it and poured the glass full before walking out.

"What is that?" Rebecca asked as she stared after Olivia.

"Sirius' new…girlfriend." Lily said as she walked over and corked the empty bottle and put it in the trash.

"I don't like her."

"Can we please have a pleasant dinner?" Lily sighed as she got herself some eggnog.

"As long as she doesn't talk to me, I think we'll be fine. Where have I seen her?"

"She's a model."

"Yeah, I thought she seemed familiar, I have seen her face like everywhere in Diagon Alley." Rebecca said and sipped the orange juice.

"Come on lets go join the boys." Lily said as she motioned towards the living room and they made their way to the living room and Rebecca saw Olivia sitting in Sirius' lap whispering something in his ear that made him smirk. He looked at Rebecca and his smirk slowly disappeared before he cupped Olivia's face and kissed her. Rebecca along with everyone stared in silence as the two kissed until they broke apart and Rebecca looked at Remus who shrugged.

Rebecca looked across at Sirius and Olivia who were glancing at each other with smiles, every so often her hand would slip under the table and his grin grew.

"Come on guys, can you at least keep it in our pants until we have finished eating?" Rebecca snapped and the whole table got quiet. "I have a hard enough time keeping food down as it is, I don't need any help from you two."

"What's your problem?" Olivia snapped and Rebecca looked up slowly at Olivia who gave her a challenging look.

"Well we are having dinner and we don't need any extra entertainment thank you."

"Well then don't watch, its not that hard."

"Are you kidding me?" Rebecca said as she gripped her knife. "We are having dinner, if you guys are going to behave like animals then why don't you leave because I am sure everyone else would like to enjoy their dinner without having to watch you fondle Black in front of us."

"Fine, we'll leave then, come on Sirius." Olivia said as she got up.

"I uh-." Sirius said and looked at everyone as Olivia walked to the doorway and looked back at him.

"Fine, I'll be at the house." She said and disappeared with the front door closing.

There was an awkward silence around the table as everyone silently went back to eating until James cleared his throat.

"So…who wants pie?" He asked as he looked around.

Remus was having the most wonderful dream. Him and Rebecca were sitting on the beach like that had many months ago, watching the sun go down as they watched the waves lapping up on the sand. The sound of children screaming happily caught his attention as he looked over and saw two young children playing in the waves, a boy and a girl. He looked at her as she smiled at him and she took his hand. He looked down at the ring on her finger and the gold band around his own caught his attention. He looked back at her as she looked out with a smile at the children before calling out to them. He couldn't stop staring at her, she looked so beautiful with the wind whipping her hair around in a perfect mess but she hardly seemed to notice.

"Come here." She said and motioned him towards her with her finger. She leaned in towards him and before her lips met his he was suddenly jolted awake and looked around alarmed as a light blinded him temporarily.

"We have to go, come on get dressed." She said as she started to throw clothes at him, hitting him in the face and he felt panic rise in his chest.

"What's- what's going on?" he said jumping out of bed.

"Lily is in labor and James says if we don't get there now he is going to kill us." She said and tossed him a sweater.
