Author’s Notes: Teddy! *squee* I want to say Hufflepuff for him as well, but, for some reason, I see him as his father’s child, through and through.
Yay! Tonks was a Hufflepuff! Boo! I have to refer to her in the past tense! Another good Hufflepuff…gone. *sigh*
Realisation
Remus and Tonks exchanged uneasy glances as she rinsed her mouth and then slumped down next to him on the bathroom floor. This had been the fifth day in a row that she had been sick first thing in the morning; there was no denying it now.
“I think I need to see a Healer,” Tonks whispered to him.
“We’ve been married three weeks, Dora!” Remus said back, playing with his wedding band. It was a habit that he had picked up immediately after she had placed it on his finger, as if he really didn’t believe it and kept checking to see it was actually there and real. “Three weeks!”
“I know.” She sighed. “But we can’t live in denial forever, Remus. I know we were going to wait…”
“Oh my God,” he whispered. “Oh my God. We’re…we’re…”
“Having a baby,” Tonks finished for him.
Remus looked at her, a completely bewildered look on his face. “A…baby. Oh my God, Dora. We’re going to be…parents!”
“I know, darling. It’s piss-poor timing-”
He cut her off with a passionate kiss. “I love you,” he told her when he pulled back. “I love you so much.” Remus then grinned broadly.
Tonks blinked. “You’re…happy about this?”
“It’s, like you said, piss-poor timing…but I’m going to be a father, Dora! I…I…,” he paused, choked up with emotion. She scooted over and cuddled up to him. “I thought I’d never get to be a husband…or a father. And thanks to you, I’m going to be both. Am I happy about this? I’m not happy,” Tonks cut him off with a sharply drawn in breath, but he continued on, “I’m ecstatic!”
“You are?” Tonks whispered, a tear trickling down her cheek.
“I am.”
And then he showed her how exactly ecstatic he was.
