Tonks woke to sunlight on her face and to find herself wrapped in a soft blue sheet. At first she was confused as to where she was, but as her mind woke up it came back to her. She was at Remus's, in his room, in his bed. Involuntarily she felt herself flush, then chided herself. She had nothing to be ashamed of, after all it wasn't like they were complete strangers or had just decided to have a role in the sheets. They had been together for a year and a bit. But still a niggling feeling was pulling at her. Ignoring it she rolled over and glanced at the old alarm clock that was sitting on his desk. 8:00.

It was then that she heard the voices downstairs. One was definitely Remus, he had probably been awake for hours, he never seemed to be able to sleep past six anymore. She heard a bark like laugh and immediately realized who the other was. Sighing she pulled herself out of bed and headed to the shower. Once she was freshly scrubbed and smelling like some shampoo called Head and Shoulders which she assumed was a Muggle brand, Tonks pulled on her cloths and headed down stairs.

"I don't understand why you can't go bug Lily and James at ungodly hours. Why is it always me?" Remus was saying, although he sounded amused. He probably had that look on his face that was half severe and half amused. It was the look that often graced his face when dealing with Sirius.

"Well their getting all cozy aren't they," Sirius said. "James may be my best mate but I don't really want to walk in on that. And Peter still lives with his mum, nice lady that she is, and I didn't really want her fawning all over me like she usually does. Besides," and from the tone of his voice Tonks could tell that he was smirking, "I know if I come here I won't have to walk in on any intimate moments this early in the morning and you'll cook for me."

Indeed when Tonks made her way into the kitchen the frying pan was sizzling and Remus was doing something at the counter with toast and eggs.

When he saw her walk in, Sirius gulped on his coffee. "What're you doing here? I thought you were visiting Ted's brother."

"Morning love," Remus said over his shoulder. He was shirtless and she could see all the scars that she had run her hands over the night before. "French Toast?"

"What's that?" She asked, ignoring Sirius and sitting at the table opposite him.

"Basically it's toast soaked in egg and cooked in a frying pan."

Tonks shrugged. "Sure why not. I trust you not to poison me." Finally she turned to Sirius who was looking between her and Remus speculatively. "I decided not to go with my parents, so I stayed here last night." There was no use beating around the bush she knew. He would just tease them more.

Sure enough a wide grin broke over Sirius's face and he laughed heartily. "Well done then." He leaned toward Tonks and said with a wink, "I taught him everything he knows."

Despite herself Tonks found herself breaking into a loud laugh and laughing even harder when Remus threw a piece of soppy bread at Sirius and hit him in the face.

"Well," he said whipping egg off his face but still grinning, "I suppose I deserved that one."

"I' d say so." Remus dropped two plates on the table in front of them and she smiled up at him before digging in. She hadn't eaten since lunch the day before; she had been so keen on getting the truth out of Remus. He had been right when he surmised that she had been sitting outside his house for a while. It had been five hours. Of course half the time she had been pacing and silently cursing his name.

Sirius stayed until after Lunch, teasing them unmercifully the whole time, then left to do some Order business. Not that Tonks was supposed to know that was what he was doing. She and Remus saw him outside and he sat on his bike looking at the two of them. They were standing close together and Tonks was almost leaning on Remus.

He shook his head, but a smile was pulling at his lips. "Merlins's beard, before I know it you two'll be married with multicolored pups. First James and Lily and now you. I guess I'll be stuck with Peter then." He grimaced jokingly.

"I doubt that'll be happening any time soon Padfoot. And James hasn't even asked Lily to marry him."

Sirius grinned, kick starting his bike. "Oh, but he will. I give it another two weeks, you'll see Moony." He winked at Tonks who childishly stuck her tongue out at him causing him heartily as he tore away.

"Well that was fun."

She glanced up at him to see he was smirking. "Yeah, it was a barrel of laughs definitely. I've always wanted to be teased by my womanizing cousin for sleeping with my boyfriend. Really a dream of mine actually. He'll be going on about this for months you know. Every time I see him…" she shook her head. She loved Sirius but sometimes he was just too much.

Remus laced his fingers through hers and started leading her down the lane. "We should talk about that actually."

Tonks felt that niggling feeling again. He's going to chuck me she thought irrationally. Merlin Cally was right, they only want one thing.

"Look Remus," she said even though her brain was telling her to shut her trap, "If you're going to break up with me just say it."

Remus stopped walking and looked at her strangely. He had a resigned look in his eyes as if he had been expecting this. "Don't be ridiculous Dora. I don't want to break up with you," he said slowly, "Why. Is that what you want?" He should have known this was coming really, he mused. What girl would want to be with a werewolf? She was probably repulsed by all the scars and regretted what they had done. His father was right. He really shouldn't be with any one.

"Do I want to?" she sounded outraged. "Of course not! How many times have I said I love you? I don't just say it because I feel I have to or some such tosh. I regret nothing."

Remus sighed in relief. He had been so sure she was going to tell him to bugger off. He had watched her sleep this morning, she had seemed so small curled up there on his bed, and as he watched her breath steadily all he found himself thinking was that there was no way that someone like her was meant for him. It had been a mistake. But now she was telling him that she had no regrets.

"Do you regret it?" they had started walking again and as she asked the question he did not miss the hint of uncertainty in her voice and he realized that she had been just as worried as he had.

"No Dora. I don't. What we did…" he trailed off and looked at her sidelong. He was surprised to see she was blushing slightly.

"Was amazing." She finished for him. "You know what. Sirius can tease us all he wants, I don't care. I have never felt so right in my life."

Remus agreed. That's what scares me he thought, as they walked and she prattled on about some up and coming wizard punk band. It was so right that he was beginning to hope; to believe what his mother said was true. And that was a very dangerous thing because he knew that it couldn't last. He would have to let her go one-day.
