Rating: PG (language)
Character or pairing: Bill/Tonks
Challenge name: Sacrifice
Author's note: I've always had the idea that any sort of metamorphosis (Metamorphmagus, Animagus or even through spells) might be stressful on the body.
“I can’t do it! I just can’t!”
“But, Tonks, the Healer said…”
“I don’t care what the bloody Healer said! I refuse to give up morphing for the next six months just because some twat thinks…”
“He said you could lose the baby!”
“I want a second opinion then.”
“You’ve had four already.”
“Then I’ll see a fifth! Or a sixth!”
“Love, I’ll take you to see every expert in the world if you want but you know they’re all going to tell you the same.”
“Fine. This is all your fault, Bill Weasley.”
“What did I…”
“Well, you’re the bloody father, aren’t you?”
“I'd better be!”
“You know, I wonder how you'd like being kept from doing something you can’t live without for the next six months -- like shagging!”
“Tonks, you wouldn’t…”
“No, I s’pose not. I’m going to need something to distract me until this damned baby gets here.”
