Sarah's thoughts.
Alex had taken to his father well, and rather quickly. While this was a good thing, it did not fix the entire situation. He can say he left for a good reason, but it didn't take away her hurt. It didn't take away her loneliness. She had a difficult pregnancy, as most all half werewolf children are usually. She had no choice but to move in with her father before she delivered. She had terrible pains that lasted for days. Could barely eat. Almost never slept. And always felt abandoned. She would let Remus be in Alex's life, but as to being a family? Well… She was unsure. He'd defiantly have to win her trust back… BUT! Matters need attending to! Off to rescue the cat!
Sarah found her way back down to the kitchen, where none other than Mad-Eye himself stood. Of course Sarah did not know that's who he was, nor did she know the young, bright pink haired witch holding Moonpie in her arms. They were talking to Sirius about something.
Sirius gestured her way. "This is her just now. Sarah, this is Alastor Moody and Nymph-… and Tonks. They're Aurors. Hope you don't mind but while you were, *ahem* napping I sent them to retrieve your belongings. They seem to have done a good enough job, most everything but this happy little creature is up in your room."
Sarah smiled. "Thank you so much. I've been worried about Moonpie. He doesn't take well to being alone." The cat jumped from Tonk's arms where he had been perched and began circling Sarah's legs. She looked down at him and giggled quietly. "Glad you're not too mad at me prettyboy" she whispered.
Tonks leaned over and asked Sirius something. He appeared hesitant and responded while looking directly at Sarah. Whatever Sirius had told her sent her skipping happily up the stairs like a school-girl. Probably nothing to worry about in a house FULL of people, right?
Sarah shook it off and decided to take the moment that was given to her, so she made her way to the room she and Alex would be staying in to unpack and settle in. She noticed that they had brought most of Alex's favorite toys (it would be obvious, they were the ones not shoved into the toy box), and the biggest part of both of their wardrobes. All their belongings lay gingerly across their beds. She sighed, and slowly began to pick through Alex's toys and clothes and put them away. Her friends always laugh at her for doing house chores the muggle way, but Sarah finds it quite relaxing at times. With her hands occupied with routine work she is free to think about the things she needs to, and even lets her mind wander. But as she lets her mind wander, she can't help but wonder if that Tonks girl was looking for Remus. Best not to push that matter now, he is playing with Alex; and supper will be ready soon. She resolves to keep an eye on the girl over the stew, and not be too nosy. After all, he wasn't expecting to see her in that house, and defiantly not expecting to meet his son. She'd leave the benefit of the doubt for now and quietly finished putting their things away.

Later in the kitchen, Sarah helped Molly set the table and ready the children, and then called the rest of the house down to supper. Watching carefully as to not look suspicious, Sarah watched where Remus sat, which was near Sirius and adjacent to Alex, who was sitting next to an empty place Sarah assumed he was saving for her. Feeling a bit of relief, she sat down to enjoy the lovely stew Molly had made, but kept one eye on the interactions between the pink haired Auror and Remus. It was a subtle interaction, and mostly one sided. Tonks would steal glances his way as she talked with Hermonie and Ginny. Sarah tried to not let it bother her, but it tied knots in her stomach. She resolved to ask about it in a calm (if possible) fashion later.
