Sunshine and Babies

"Remus, calm down, everything will be fine. All of the women are at Potter Manor getting everything ready," Ron said, patting the older man on the shoulder. "If Ginny and my mother can't handle a wedding by now, I don't know who can. They took care of Bill's, Charlie's, Percy's, Fred's, George's, mine, and Harry and Ginny's. They are experts."

Remus paced the room, staring at his formal robes. "I'm sure that she's not going to want to marry me. She's going to be sitting there with all of those happily married women and will change her mind. I keep waiting for the fire to flame up green and for one of them to tell us that she ran off," he stated, running his hands through his hair.

Harry sighed. "Remus, Tonks loves you. She wants to marry you. Why do you find that so hard to believe?" he asked, sitting down on a chair facing Remus.

"I'm a werewolf, and I'm fifteen years older than her," he answered, dropping down onto the sofa.

"You don't act fifteen years older than her. Bloody Hell, sometimes we wonder if we're older than you," Ron told him, looking exasperated. "You give the twins more business than most of the students at Hogwarts. She loves you for who you are. A person that isn't afraid to prank the headmaster and headmistress, a man who stands up for what he believes in, and a man that puts family above all else," he said, sitting on the edge of Harry's chair.

"You have treated me like one of your family, and after Sirius fell into the veil you became the only person that I had left. You became my godfather, and father, and you helped me through all of the problems that I had as a teenage boy. She saw that you did everything that you could to help me, even though you had problems of your own," Harry told him. "She loves you, Remus. And after this afternoon, she'll be your wife."

Ron leaned over and whispered to Harry, "I don't even think that you were this bad."

"Maybe I should go take a shower, and try to forget that she might not want to marry me," Remus told them, getting up and heading for the bathroom, "since we only have about an hour until we have to leave."

Remus went into the bathroom, and Ron and Harry went over to the fireplace and threw a pinch of floo powder into the flames. "Ginny Potter," Harry shouted.

"I hope that she's not too busy," Ron said, just as Ginny's head appeared in the flames.

"What's wrong?" she asked.

"Remus is driving us crazy. He's afraid that Tonks won't go through with marrying him," Harry told her, running his hand through his hair.

Ginny laughed, "Tonks is afraid of the same thing, that Remus will back out before the wedding."

"Well, at least neither of them are going to decide to back out," Ron said, reaching for his new robes. "Are the kids behaving?"

"We have half a dozen house elves watching the kids, and they're all here. I think that the boys are playing a game of Quidditch in the playroom, but the girls are playing with dolls," she told them. "Just wait until you see the yard, Dobby made it look like a fantasy."

"We're going to floo into the guest house as soon as Remus gets out of the shower and gets dressed. The rest of the men should be arriving by portkey any minute. They were picking up a few last-minute things that Fred and George created just for today," Harry told her, leaning toward the flames. "Did the owl come with our gift for them?" he asked.

"Yes, the tickets came, and the deed for the large guest house is in the envelope with them," she said, holding up the large parchment envelope.

"Good, I just hope that they don't think that it's too much. I just can't see that huge house going to waste, and for them to live any further away from us than that," he said, checking behind him. "And the Gringotts account is set up?"

"Everything is fine, Harry. Tonks is almost ready, we have about forty minutes until the wedding, and you need to go and get Remus moving. Not to mention getting dressed yourself," she said laughing. "This is the wedding of the year, and I want everything to be perfect for them, including the groom being on time."

"I get the point. I'll go hurry Remus up. I'll see you in about twenty five minutes," Harry said, standing up.

"Dad and everyone else just portkeyed in. I'm going to go get Fred and George to start showing the guests to their seats. The first portkey is scheduled for about five minutes from now," she said. "See you later." Her head disappeared from the fire, and Ron and Harry went back upstairs to hurry Remus along.
