Remus nodded. He thought that they were better off than the last time but he wanted her opinion on it. " Why would you say that were better off this time?" he asked curiously. He wasn't the type to just tell her what he thought and that was the end of it. He wanted to know what she thought about things and why she saw things the way that she did. He loved how her eyes lit up a room and he wanted to know what was going on inside of that head of hers.
He laughed as Tonks' looked around the room. She got so nervous and flinchy thinking that someone or something was on the move. It was good that she was on guard especially now that they had so much to be on guard about. He couldn't help but to think about that date again. She was too cute asking questions even though he had put up a wall. He had to he at that time didn't think that it was safe for them being together. But she had proved him wrong just as Teddy.
"Oh" he said slightly dissapointed. He knew that he shouldn't be. She did have a difficult pregnancy but part of him wanted more kids. Now that he knew they could get through the first one. He was willing to take on more. Besides wouldn't it be great for Teddy to have someone else to play with. " I understand I do, love. I just thought that it might be nice to have another one. But if you don't want another I won't push it. I know how hard the one with Teddy was" he assured her.
Really he understood he just wanted to make her happy. Thats all that it ever was for him. He gestured for her to turn around as he began to rub her shoulders. " How about I draw you a nice bath and you can relax then we can read to each other before bed hmm?" he asked her with a grin.

Tonks hesitated, thinking that the reason was obvious. She smiled. "Well, because there are more people on our side this time and so we'll have more help." The more help they had, the less people they would lose. She hated the toll that the last war had taken on Remus. He had lost all of his best friends from school. She couldn't imagine what that must feel like.
As soon as Tonks saw Remus's reaction to her answer, she felt AWFUL. What was wrong with her? She knew that he wanted another kid...why couldn't she just suck it up and try again from another baby? But just as she was thinking those thoughts...she remembered how painful Teddy's birth was and how horrible the pregnancy was. "Oh, Remus!" she said, feeling terrible with herself. "I do want another child, but can we wait awhile?"
Oh, no...Remus was giving her a massage again. Her head almost collapsed onto her chest because it felt so good. She slowly raised her head as he spoke again. "Oh, Remus...that sounds wonderful!" she said, sleepily.

He chuckled and nodded. " I think your right, but its not numbers I'm afraid of this time" he admitted honestly. Then he sighed slightly. " You see, we have numbers but if there is a new dark lord we know nothing about him. Who could it honestly be?" he asked outloud. He had been thinking about this for some time. He wanted to make sure that they were ready. He feared that they might not be.
They needed to know more about this new faction. And he knew that it would be hard. How would they be able to find out about a power they knew nothing about without infiltration. They were at a loss. " I think that we should speak with Arthur and Molly sometime soon about what we know" he told them.
He was shook out of his thoughts when she mentioned about the baby again. He felt horrible but he only told her the truth. He nodded. " Of course" he said sheepishly. " I am really sorry I don't mean to make you feel put out abbout it but I just thought that another baby might be nice. It doesn't have to be right now" he offered her. " Just think about it alright?" he asked. He just didn't want a no right now but he would settle for a maybe.
He knew that she loved when he gave her a massage. So he continued to work on her shoulders and when she complied he stopped. He leaned over and kissed her gently. " Good I'll go fix it for you and wait for you in our room" he told her.
He stood up and made her bed. He stood at the top of the stairs and called down to her. " Its ready" he yelled softly. He cringed when he thought that Teddy might wake and quickly rushed to check onhim. He relaxed when he saw that he was still sleeping. He walked into his room and dressed in his night clothes and waited for her to get done with her bath.

Tonks felt so sleepy. She was so happy to be home, but she wished that she felt more awake, so she could spend more time with Remus. She knew that she didn't have a choice, though. When the boss gave an order, it was to be followed. She smiled again, when Remus leaned over and kissed her. She almost fell off the couch because she leaned forward, when Remus pulled away. She caught herself, though. She smiled sleepily up at him. "You're the best, Remus."
Tonks got up and slowly walked to their room. She gathered her music note and guitar pajamas, then made her way to her bath. "Thanks, Remus," she said as she stood up on her tip toes to kiss him. She opened the bathroom door and shut it behind her. After she removed everything, she climbed into her bath. "Aaah....,"she said in relaxation. She didn't stay in there too long because she didn't want to keep Remus waiting. After she was relaxed enough, she got out, dried herself off and got in her pajamas.
Tonks opened the door and tossed her dirty clothes in the dirty clothes pile. She entered the bedroom and smiled at her husband. She climbed into bed next to him and gave him a peck on the cheek. "Thanks so much, Remus. I feel so much better." She reached over to her bedstand and pulled out a copy of WS, a magazine that is completely about the Weird Sisters. She leaned back and began to read.

Remus had been in their bed after checking the cooling charms. He placed his head on the back of his arm and supported himself. He smiled at Tonks as she took her place in bed next to him. He smiled and nodded. He knew his wife well enough to know what she needed and didn't need. A bath was exactly what she needed. He was glad that he knew her that well.
" Good, I'm glad" he said with a grin. " Oh, I got an owl from Molly and Arthur today" he began with a smile. He couldn't wait for Harry and Ron to be back. He wanted to pick both of their brains. " Harry and Ron will be back grom training. He knew that Tonks would know what kind of training the boys had gone through but he wanted to pick their brains about what they thought about the war. He knew that he shouldn't think about it so much but he couldn't help it. He wanted to be ready. He had so much more to lose this time.
" Oh right, Ron and Harry are coming home and we've been invited to a welcome home party" he added. " I told them that we would be attending I hope thats alright?" he asked hopeful. He knew she would be alright but he hated making decisions for them without her input. But he couldn't help himself. He had no outside contact until then

Tonks tore her eyes away from her magazine when Remus began to talk. She of course, would rather listen to him than read her magazine, even if it was ALL about her all time favorite band, the Weird Sisters. "Really?"asked Tonk, excitedly when she heard about the owl from Molly and Arthur. She almost burst out laughing when she heard about the Auror training. "Wow...I wonder how they took it!" she said, smiling. She remembered her Auror traning...it was gruelling.
Tonks had had her head leaning up against her propped up pillow, but when she heard the mention of a party, her head popped up and her eyes lit up. "A party?" she asked, excited. "Of course, it's alright!" she said, grasping Remus's hand in her own. "I can't wait to see everyone again!"

Remus watched her as she became so engrossed into her magazine. He took a quick peak as to what it was about and shook his head. “ Of Course” he muttered. Her and that band. Sometimes he felt as if it were a competition between him and the weird sisters. It was her favorite band and no doubt if the choice was between hanging out with them or him, he would surely lose out. He chuckled
Then he nodded. “ I’m sure they managed just fine” he said matter of factly and turned back to his newspaper. All these muggle dissapearence and deaths. Made him wonder if the muggle world was as bad off as they were. Or worse without a threat like a Dark Lord. Or maybe it was because of the new dark lord? Not that he knew if they had one or not.
He laughed at her excitement but he felt it too. He knew that she would know that’s why he laughed. He did it so often. “ Great and I’m sure Harry can’t wait to see his god son” he said with a grin. “ Its this Sunday” he added with a grin. Then he settled back into bed putting his paper aside. “ You have the whole weekend off right?” he asked hopeful.

Tonks sighed, relieved. "Yes!" she said, happily. "It's my first break that's been more than a few hours in a long time!" She couldn't remember the last time that she had a whole weekend off. The most that she had gotten off lately was just a few hours, maybe an afternoon. She sighed and leaned back into her pillows. She loved her bed...it was so amazingly soft. Sometimes, she wondered if Remus had charmed it to make it so soft. She couldn't say that she would be particularly surprised if he had. He was just that amazing.
Tonks turned towards Remus and smiled at him. She looked back to her magazine and continued reading. She gasped very loudly and sat straight up in her bed. "Holy Merlin!" she said loud but not loud enough to wake Teddy. "Remus! Look!" she said, pointing to her magazine. It was a list of all of the Wierd Sister's concerts and one was VERY close to their house.

He nodded and smiled brightly. “ Good, lets go away for the weekend” he offered her hopeful. Just as she had hardly been home, he had hardly gotten to spend any time with her and he thought it was the perfect remedy. “ I have a family cabin in the Americas I can set up a portkey and then we could take Teddy with us. The house is on the beach” he explained. In his mind it was perfect. They could spend the day together with Teddy. As a family. Laying on the beach and helping him build sand castles. Then the evenings would be for themselves.
“ What do you say?” he asked hopeful. He hoped that she would say yes. His soul could use it. It would be the perfect timing too. He wouldn’t be in fear of transforming without his potion or having to be chained up. It was quite embarrassing, he could only hope that his son wouldn’t have the same fate as he did.
“What? Whats wrong Tonks?” he asked as he shot up and shook his head as she practically threw the magazine in his direction. “ Oh. You and that band” he said laughing. “ Why that’s just up the road, am I to believe that you and Ginny will be going to that?” he questioned but he knew the answer was yes. If anyone loved the weird sisters like Tonks it was Ginny. Well it would be good for them. He liked the fact that Ginny and Tonks got on so well.
"Now come lets get some sleep we have two more days to get through" he said and put the magazine down and turned off the lights. Then he pulled her close to him after kissing her goodnight. Then he drifted off to sleep fast.
- OOC: Tonks post once more and we'll have finished this thread and we can start another

Tonks sighed and leaned back into her pillows. "Oh, Remus! That sounds so wonderful!" Her face broke into a big smile. She couldn't remember the last time that she got to spend a whole weekend with her whole family. She was getting excited! But, she sighed, remembering that it was only Thursday. She frowned and folded her arms. "Aw, but now it seems so far away!"
Tonks smiled and nodded. "Yes! I just have to ask her! And...find out where to buy the tickets, hmm..."She looked back at the magazine and she realized that it said nothing about where to buy the tickets, or how much they cost. She shrugged. "Oh, well. I'll find out somehow,"she said, positively.
Tonks smiled and turned to her husband. "Hopefully, they go by very quickly. " She leaned over and kissed him back. Smiling, she fell back onto her side of the covers and fell asleep.
