Tonks's POV
"Christmas is here," I said, smiling. I watched Remus decorate the house with tinsel and holly. "Our second Christmas together." Would have been our third, but Remus isn't exactly reliable with not running off. I feel though, that the last time was going to be the last time. Now that I had my baby. I was 5 months pregnant, and was on bed rest. My bulging stomach was huge, and I could feel the baby kicking sometimes (very violent). I still was convinced I had twins.
"Yeah," said Remus, frowning over a piece of tinsel. "Does this look okay?"
I rolled my eyes, "It looks fine, Remus."
"Okay," he said, not entirely convinced. He went over to me and kissed my cheek.
"Actually it is a bit crooked," I said, grinning.
He sighed, and went back to work.
"Did you hear any news of the others?" I asked.
"No. They want me on Potterwatch."
"You should totally do it!" I said. "Can I do it?"
"It's too risky," said Remus.
"Grrrr, fine." I said.
Christmas Eve dinner was delicious, and I could barely sleep. I was too excited for presents.
"Dora, get some sleep," said Remus at 3 in the morning, after I had (accidently) woke him up.
"I'll try, but the baby is just as excited!"
Christmas was wonderful. I got a big, purple sweater from Molly that fit over me and my baby. I got a lot of baby stuff, and tons of chocolate from Remus (who probably wanted to share it. Not a chance.). Overall, it was a nice Christmas.
Remus and I got around to some baby names. I had no idea what I should name him/her. Definitely not an absurd name like mine. Remus got a list of ordinary names, though. I think I'll know when I see him/her.
