Albus Potter, Friends and Foes

Ch 29 And Baby Makes Three

Things looked differently from Teddy's point of view.

Teddy sat up in bed. He could see his body still lying in bed, and people standing before him. It looked like his Mum and Dad. He had seen pictures of them in his gran's house, had often stared at his missing parents, wondering about them. Further away he saw others.

"Am I dead?" he asked.

"You'd better not be!" his parents stressed in unison. His father continued on, "Albus Potter did not call us back from the dead to have you die on us. You have a very long life to lead. I am your father, Remus Lupin, and this is your mother."

"We are very proud of you!" Tonks beamed.

"You have been in agony, semi awake, the last two days, after escaping from Jezebel Nukpana's island," Remus explained. "You are a little battered, and you'll never get your leg back or be quite as pretty as before, but you should live a long life and give us many grandchildren."

Teddy could see some people talking to Albus, Rose and their two best friends. "Albus brought you here?" Teddy wondered.

"Yes," Remus replied, "Us to heal you. Most of the healing was done by your bride to be Victoire, but in the end the curses were so strong that we were needed for you, and Victoire's uncles were needed for her."

Teddy looked over at Victoire. She was in the same state as he was, lying in bed under the covers, holding on to him, and at the same time sitting up in bed talking. She did not have anything on, and Teddy took a good look. Victoire looked spectacular! What a body! Somehow he could feel his body lying on the bed next to Victoire. Teddy was suddenly aware that he was very turned on, more of his flesh pressing against more of her flesh than he had ever experienced before.

"How can I marry her after all I had to do?" Teddy asked, terrified that his actions on the Island had permanently ruined him.

"Just do it," Tonks insisted. "I married your father even though he was a poor werewolf. Victoire already knows some of what you had to do, and when the time comes Victoire will find out enough. You don't have to tell anyone everything. Meanwhile we forgive you, and you need to forgive yourself."

"What do I do now?" Teddy asked his parents.

"You need to wake up and let everybody know you are all right," Remus replied.

"Before you go to sleep Victoire wants you to get a grandchild started for us," Tonks admitted. "We would rather you were at least engaged, but have a wedding ceremony as soon as possible. In the meantime, the physical sexual union will help heal the curses better than chocolate, although a little chocolate won't hurt."

"We love you, and Victoire," Remus added, giving Teddy a gentle little kiss. He then turned to Victoire and told her, "We love you," giving her a gentle kiss too.

Tonks held on to Teddy tightly and gave him a kiss. "We love you. I am so sorry that I left you to be raised by others, although I have to say they did a magnificent job. Make grandbabies for us, and enjoy that beautiful woman and your children for us."

Then Remus spoke to Teddy and the others, and the conversation proceeded with everyone aware of what was being said. Teddy was aware that the first part of the conversation was for he and Victoria only, and was also aware that, in the strange logic of the spirit works, it took no time that the others in the room could sense.

Once everybody was gone, Teddy lay back in bed. There was a healer in the room, but everyone else was gone.
