AN: I've never done anything with all dialogue before but I thought this turned out pretty funny so I decided to post it that way. Just a fluffy/funny little one shot in which Tonks is pregnant (read: emotional) and Lupin can't do anything right. They're lying in bed together and if you can't tell, the first person speaking is Tonks.

This is probably more drabble than oneshot, but that's ok. Please R/R!


That Thing You Do

(oneshot)

"Stop."

"What?"

"Stop doing that."

"What?"

"That thing you're doing."

"What thing?"

"That thing."

"As we discussed Nymphadora, over and over again, that thing that I'm doing is breathing, and I can't stop doing that."

"Now you're just trying to make me mad."

"What?"

"Nymphadora?? And you're not just breathing Remus, you're huffing. I can't stand when you huff."

"Ok, I'm going to sleep now, and so are you. G'night."

…….

"See! You did it again! You huffed!"

"I am not huffing! It was a contented sigh! I am contented! I am lying next to my pregnant, always pleasant wife who is irritated at the very sound of my breath and I am so damn contented that I just had to sigh a little."

"Now you're patronizing me. And you're huffing. You're a huffer. I'm hope our child doesn't do that… huff, I mean."

"Ok, fine. You win, Dora. I'm sleeping on the couch."

"No! I'm sorry. It's ok. You lay there and huff all you want... I'm just so uncomfortable and I… I didn't mean to…"

"It's all right. We'll just hold each other and go back to sleep. See? See how nice this is?"

……

"Remus?"

"Yes, love?"

"You're holding me too tight. I'm feeling hot and smothered. Can you please get on your side of the bed? A little further please? A little more?"

"Far enough? Because I could crawl in the floor if that's better…?"

"Don't patronize me, Remus. I hate when you patronize me."

……

"Remus?"

"What? What am I doing now? I was trying to breathe as quietly as I could. Did my leg touch yours? Am I giving off waves of heat? Do I smell bad?"

"I was just going to say I l…lo…love you."

"Oh… don't cry. I'm sorry. I'm just half asleep and… c'mere you. I'm holding you whether you like it or not. We're going to get through this you know, and we're going to have the most wonderful child."

"Are we? What if he's like me and he's clumsy and silly and starts stupid arguments?"

"Then I'll love him even more."

……

"I hope he's like you, Remus. Just like you."

"Even if he huffs?"

"Well, maybe not that. No I'm joking, Remus, I'm joking! I hope he's just like you… huffing and all."

"I think that's the sweetest thing you've said in nine long months, Dora."

"Shut up."

"Right away."

……

"Remus?"

"….Yes?"

"I'm hungry. Would you mind…?"

…..

"You huffed again."

"Yes, I know. That time I meant to."
