Chapter One

It all began one unusually chilly summers day in 1997. Remus Lupin arrived home at his house after another meeting of the Order of the Phoenix, discussing how much more dangerous the world was becoming, as Voldemort was making his presence more well-known by the day. However, to the man's surprise, his wife hadn't been in attendance.

Noticing this, Remus had rushed home to find his wife sitting in the lounge with her head in her hands, his mother-in-law with her arm wrapped tightly around her shoulders, kissing the top of her head and rocking her almost like she was a little girl again. This caused Remus to bolt towards the half-open door, just about to push it open when he heard the voices from inside the room.

"What am I going to do, Mum?" Nymphadora cried, her sobs racking her body.

"You have to tell him, darling. It's the only way forward. He'll find out soon enough anyway, but it's better if it comes from you. Ssh, darling, it'll all be alright." soothed Andromeda.

Remus took that opportunity to push the door open, alerting both of the Tonks women to his presence. Andromeda stood almost immediately, her hand resting lightly on his daughter's shoulder, lingering for a moment before she retracted it and walked out of the room, leaving the two newlyweds to talk alone.

The first thing Remus did was move to the sofa, wrapping his arms around Dora's neck and pulling her head gently to rest on his chest, stroking her mousy brown hair therapeutically. They stayed like that for a few minutes, a dozen or so, until Dora's tears had finally dried.

"Dora? What's wrong, sweetheart?" he asked gently, lifting her chin so as to look in her eyes.

"I don't know how to tell you." she whispered.

"It doesn't matter, sweetheart. Dora, just tell me, I'll listen to you."

The woman opened her mouth to speak and made a small sound, as if she was trying to force the words from her throat, then collapsed crying once more. Remus sighed slightly and pulled her head to his chest once more, repeating the soothing process they had just overcome.

This time, Dora calmed a bit more quickly, her eyes drying once more, though they were still quite a dull blue-grey colour, due to her obvious upset.

"What's the matter? Dora, please tell me, because you are scaring me. You're really scaring me. Sweetheart, what's wrong?" he pressed, tears beginning to surface in his own eyes as he pulled away from her, clasping her hands in his own.

"You're not going to like what I'm going to say, Remus, however much I wanted you to."

"What?" Remus asked, his mind whirring through all the possibilities of what she was about to tell him.

"Remus...I'm pregnant."

"What?!" he cried, the image of a baby spinning through his mind.

"Remus, that isn't all. There's more." Dora whispered, the sound just about reaching his ears.

"More?! What could be more than that, Dora?"

"It's not just one baby. It's two. Remus, we're having twins."

A/N: I know that this is quite short, but I had this idea and wanted to get it out there. Please review and let me know what you think.
