9 MONTHS LATER:

The flashing lime green robes were all around the ward as Remus patiently awaited the arrival of their son. He knew what to name him: James Sirius Lupin. A proud, noble name. Looking to his right he saw all the Weasley's come in along with Harry and Hermione.

"Oh, Remus!" said Mrs. Weasley, "You must be so proud! Do you know what you will name him?"

"Yes. James Sirius Lupin."

"Wonderful!"

"I heard someone say James." Said Harry.

"Yes, Harry, he will be named after your father and god-father." Replied Remus.

"Does Tonks know?" asked Hermione as Harry's face brightened.

"No, I thought I'd surprise her." He replied.

Then the healer stepped out into the hall and told Remus that he could go inside first. Opening the door he saw Tonks looking down at a small infant in her arms. She looked up at him and smiled weakly.

"What shall we name him?" She asked.

"I know exactly." Replied Remus.

"What, then?"

"James. Sirius. Lupin."

"T-that's perfect!"

"I was hoping so."

"But…"

"What is it dear?"

"Well, it's just…"

"What?"

"We're in the Order, and what if something happened to us, to where we can't protect him?"

"What if…What if we had a god-father for him?"

"Who?"

"Hold on."

Remus got up from her bed-side and opened the door. Everyone was asking questions.

"Yes, yes, he's a healthy baby boy, but if you, Harry, could come in here."

Harry turned red, but followed Lupin inside. Looking at James he said, "Tonks, Lupin, he's beautiful!"

"Thanks." Said Tonks, "Remus, you think so?"

"Yes, I think it would work. Harry, we were thinking, you know we are both in the Order, and in being so, there are very high risks to take."

"We believe," continued Tonks, "That if something were to happen to us, someone would have to look after young James here."

"We would need a god-father and I think it would be right if you were."

"I-I would be honored!"

"Right. Run along then."

Harry stood up and walked out the door. Remus sat at Tonk's side and kissed her on the cheek. They both sat and watched young James for what seemed forever. Then Tonks went rigid.

"Dear, what's wrong?" asked Remus.

"Did you take your potion tonight?"

"No! I didn't, Tonks, dear, I must go. Others will come to visit."

"OK. See you in the morning."

"Right."

Remus rushed out the door. Everyone was watching him. He didn't know what to say.

"It's a full moon tonight." He said. "I have to go."

"Remus, wait!" commanded Arthur. "I realized what today was, and I mad the Wolfs bane potion."

"Arthur, I don't know what I'd do without you!"

Taking the potion, Remus apparated to the Shrieking Shack. There, he curled up in a corner and stayed there. Meanwhile, after everyone had come to see the baby, Tonks silently fell asleep. Then she was woken by a sound. Realizing she was back home, she got up to go and see what was wrong with James. Figuring he was hungry, she kept walking, but then his cries turned to slow whimpers, and then what Tonks feared had come true. His voice had turned into a howl. She looked over into the crib to see him. There lay a small were-wolf puppy. He couldn't do any damage, he just looked like a were-wolf.

The lecture I'm going to get from Remus! Tonks thought.

A few hours later, back at the Shrieking Shack, Remus lay huddled in a corner asleep. Waking up to see the sun, he looked down at his hands. They were normal. He stood up ant stretched. Remembering he had a wife and child at home, he apparated right away. Seeing he was at home, he looked for Tonks first, but guessed she was doing something else. He went straight to James's crib. He slept lightly. Then Tonks came around a corner.

"Good morning, love." He said cheerfully.

"Good morning." She replied.

"What is it, dear?"

"It appears that being a were-wolf is-"

"Genetic?" finished Remus.

"Yes."

"What did I tell you?! When you told me we were going to have a child I feared this!"

A tear came to Tonks's eye.

"Look," said Remus, calming down, "I thought this would happen and it's dangerous."
"I know. It's just I thought you would be mad at me and I love you and you-"

Tonks was cut off when Remus kissed her. They stood like that until James whined. Looking at him in awe they noticed something peculiar about him when he rolled his head out of the blankets and opened his eye.

"Coincidence of a life-time." Said Tonks.

James. S. Lupin had Remus's brown har and Tonk's blue eyes. Apparently, from last night, also his fathers personality. Just like Harry Potter.
