Chapter 9- The End Of A Long Wait
Hermione was alive but she still hadn't woken up. She could hear them talking to her and would be able to hold their hands and let them know she could hear them. Remus would be with her most of the day if he wasn't in classes and if he was someone else would be with her. Chris and Nathan would come and see her after classes were over. Telly wouldn't leave her side all day until her father would leave late at night.
It was like waiting for a wide tiger to become tame by using a wipe. Remus was staring to get a bit stressed with it. Hermione felt the tension every time he would hold her hand and was fighting with herself everyday to wake just to see his eyes. Every time she tried she would fall back into a dark hole.
Remus stood next to her bed when a beeping was heard. "What's going on?"
"She's waking up." Poppy began to check her over. Remus tried to get closer to the bed but was pushed out the room by Poppy. She locked the doors on him and began to make sure everything was ok with Hermione.
Remus was banging on the door's trying to get back in. Sirius and James were coming to see them and ran to see what was going on. They pulled him away from the doors and sat him down on a chair but he tried to get back up so had to hold him there.
"Hay, mate what's got you all worked up like this?" James asked worried. They both knew that if something happened to Hermione then Remus wouldn't come back from it.
"She's waking up and Poppy won't let me in." Just as he finished talking the doors opened and Remus pushed them off him and pushed past Poppy to get to Hermione's bed. James and Sirius followed him and when they got there they had to smile.
Remus was on the bed with his arms rapped around her and his head on her stomach. He and Hermione were crying but they could see a smile on her face. James and Sirius turned around and left them be. Lily was waiting outside with Nathan, Chris and Telly. Nodding Lily said they could go in. She didn't go in with them knowing that it was a family moment. They walked down the hall, heading towards the Great Hall and to let everyone know.
She was sat in a chair to the side of her bed as she needed to get used to feeling her leg's again. Hermione held each of her children in turn, including Telly as she thought of her as her own as well. Remus stayed close by not wanting to be away from her every again. Nathan and Chris wouldn't stop talking about everything she'd missed and how cool it was to have a mum that would save someone.
Remus gave them a look and they stood off to one side. They were smiling their faces off and Hermione frowned. Turning to Remus she was about to ask what was going on when she saw that he was kneeling down in front of her. She saw him holding a little box in his hand and looked shocked.
"Hermione, I know that what I did back then was wrong and that I hurt you so much. I never meant to do that. All I can hope is that you've forgiven me for it. I know that this doesn't make up for anything and I'll do anything to make you believe me when I say I love you and no one else. We never did this last time we mated but...Will you make me the happiest man alive by becoming my wife? Will you marry me Hermione Jane Granger?"
"Yes!" He gave a cry and gave her a kiss filled with love, passion and desire. He pulled away only to slip the ring on her ring finger before pulling her into a hug and saying how happy he was.
The children were cheering and ran to join in the hug. Hermione laughed and cried at the same time knowing that she had her family again and the love of her life.
Remus smiled and had tears going down his face. His life was going to be great from now on. Hermione was back and he wasn't going to let her go ever again.
It was a year later that saw them getting married. Harry gave her away. James was his best man; Sirius said that he was best man at James's so it was only fear. He also said if he ever got married Remus would be his best man.
Nathan and Chris were happy to have their father back. It was also great to see their mother happy and with their father for that matter. Telly was like their full sister and they loved her just as she loved them.
Telly loved having a new mother who loved her and went shopping with for clothes.
Remus and Hermione had two more children. One girl and one boy named, Holly Katherine Lupin and Zac Remus Lupin. With James and Sirius as Godfather's to both and Lily Godmother to them.
Holly was just like her mother and loved to learn why Zac was like his father and Sirius all in one. He loved to prank people but owned up to it if need be.
Hermione and Remus didn't plan on having any more children. They had loved and lost but knew that their love would last forever no matter what happened to them.
Oh yeah and Tonks was given the kiss for trying to kill Hermione and her own daughter.
