A/N: I can't believe it, this is the 50th chapter! I've been working on this story for 6 months, and it's nearly over. I would just like to say thanks to all my reviewers. Now that this story is ending, I have no idea what to write about now. Any suggestions for me? Anyway, back to the story, some happiness after that sad last chapter.
Tonks's POV
I was eating some ice cream when my first contraction hit. I grunted, and pushed the ice cream away. They came quicker and quicker.
"Remus!" I called.
"Yes?" asked Remus, reading the newspaper.
"The baby's coming," I said painfully. He looked up in shock. He went over to my side, and helped me onto the couch. Andromeda came running in.
"I don't trust St. Mungo's now, especially with these circumstances. Remus, can you get me some stuff?" said Andromeda, rolling up her sleeves.
The baby came out, finally. I looked at the bundle Andromeda was holding in her hands. She was smiling, and she handed the baby to me.
"It's a boy," she said.
My son was perfect. He had black hair, and brown eyes.
"He looks like you, Remus," I said.
"Not really. He looks more like you," said Remus, frowning as he started to think.
"What are you going to call him?" Andromeda asked.
"Ted, after his grandfather," said Remus.
I smiled. "And Remus, after his father. Ted Remus Lupin. Aww, look at him! Isn't he perfect?!"
"He sure is," said Remus, looking like the happiest man in the world.
Andromeda took Teddy to clean him up, and I fell asleep. I woke up to a shout.
"What?" I asked.
"Relax, dear, Remus was just surprised, that's all." said Andromeda holding Teddy.
"About what?" I asked.
Andromeda showed me Teddy. He was sleeping…and had ginger hair.
I gasped, "He's a Metamorphmagus!"
"Yes, he it. Your hair was changing the day you were born too," said Andromeda, smiling as she put Teddy in my arms.
"Well, I must be off to tell the news. First things first, godparents? I nominate Harry," said Remus.
I smiled, "I'll think he'll make an excellent godfather."
"That he would," said Remus, smiling. He kissed Teddy and me, and left.
Remus's POV
I got my cloak and quickly Apparated to Shell Cottage. There was a storm out, and I quickly ran over to the house. I knocked on the door, rather loud, so they could hear me.
"Who is it?" called out a voice from inside. It sounded like Bill.
"It is I, Remus John Lupin!" I called out. "I am a werewolf, married to Nymphadora Tonks, and you, the Secret-Keeper of Shell Cottage, told me the address and bade me come in an emergency!"
The door opened, and I came inside. Well, sort of fell, anxious to be out of the storm. I straightened, and looked around at the people there. There was Bill, Fleur, and to my surprise, Harry, Ron, and Hermione.
"It's a boy! We've named him Ted, after Dora's father!" I announced.
"Wha—? Tonks—Tonks has had the baby?" exclaimed Hermione.
"Yes, yes she's had the baby!" I said.
Hermione and Fleur said "Congratulations!" and "Blimey, a baby!" came from Ron.
"Yes—yes—a boy." I said. I went over to hug Harry.
When I released him, I smiled, "You'll be godfather?"
Harry was surprised, "M-me?"
"You, yes, of course—Dora quite agrees, no one better—"
"I—yeah—blimey—"
Fleur came over to persuade me to join them all for a drink.
"I can't stay long, I must get back." I said, smiling, "Thank you, thank you, Bill." I toasted Teddy, "To Teddy Remus Lupin, a great wizard in the making!"
"'Oo does 'e look like?" Fleur asked.
"I think he looks like Dora, but she thinks he is like me. Not much hair. It looked black when he was born, but I swear it's turned ginger in the hour since. Probably blond by the time I get back. Andromeda says Tonks's hair started changing color the day that she was born." I drained my glass, "Oh, go on then, just one more." I said, as Bill refilled it.
Finally, I had to go. "No…no…I really must get back." I put on my traveling cloak. "Good-bye, goodbye—I'll try and bring some pictures in a few day's time—they'll all be so glad to know that I've seen you—" I left, back into the storm.
Before I headed back, I went over to the Weasley's Aunt Muriel's to tell them about Teddy. Everyone was very happy.
It was very late when I got back, and I was surprised to see Dora still up.
"What are you doing up?" I asked, hanging up my cloak.
"Teddy won't sleep," Dora said, yawning.
"Guess who I saw at Shell Cottage?" I said, keeping my voice calm.
"Who?" asked Dora.
"Harry, Ron, and Hermione." I said, smiling.
"No way! What were they doing there?" she exclaimed, incredulous.
"I don't know, I think they just needed a place," I said. "Anyway, it's late. Let's get some sleep."
"Alright, I'll sleep, and you watch Teddy," said Dora, heading upstairs.
