Dora and Hermione catching up over her pregnancy, like during it and after it since she is Godmother to Teddy as Dora asked, as requested by welshgirl1148
"Hey, squirt." Nymphadora smiled slightly as entered Hermione's office.
Looking up from her paper work, Hermione managed to smile tightly back. "Hey."
"I heard you were back."
"I am." Hermione nodded.
Tonks sat on the edge of the desk, scared that she would hurt her friend in any way.
"I won't break you know." Having sensed her friend's feelings, Hermione felt the need to reassure her.
"I know." Tonks nodded. "How are you feeling?"
"Tired. And my lower back and ankles hurt." Hermione tried to smirk.
Nymph shook her head. "How are you feeling about being back?"
Hermione swallowed tightly. "I… I miss them… him. I had a home there. I." She closed her eyes against the onslaught on tears.
"Mia." Nymph quickly gathered her into her arms. "I'm sorry. I'm so sorry." She murmured.
That did nothing to cease the tears. They crept out from the closed lids and ran down Hermione's cheeks, where they soaked through Nymph's shirt. Shoulders shook as the pain that Hermione had tried to hide, both from herself and her friends, broke free.
"I'm so sorry." As Tonks stroked her hair, her heart cracked from the pain Hermione was feeling. They hadn't known she was safe, they thought she had been captured. And now, now they were the cause of Hermione's suffering. "I'm sorry." Nymph bowed her head and her tears joined the ones that were already falling.
