Since the cottage was more or less done - they still needed some things to do on the inside and paint - this was the first time Remus was bringing Dora by to see it. They would also get a chance to start painting (after he charmed the paint so it wouldn't harm her or the babies in any way), and Remus was looking forward to this

Tonks blinked, and blinked again, looking around the room, her eyes coming alight. And she was just going to speak when his words sent a shiver down her spine.

A shiver of feeling something clicking together... the right way.

She leaned against him, hand rising up to rest on his, on her shoulder, and her voice came out not much louder than his. "Thank you... thank you, love. It... lets the sunshine in." Yeah, not TOO much by the way of compliment, but it WAS what she was seeing. It let the GOOD things in. Besides, well, it had all kind of taken her breath away, a little.

After a moment of resting so, she gently slipped away - then kinda bounced to the rocking chair and picked both pink - pink! - bears, turning towards him and hugging them close to her, near her face - which was beaming. Unmistakably. She rested her cheek against a so-soft plush ear and looked up at him, eyes bright.

"I do have the suspicion they might, sorta... like it? 'cause I most definitely do, Mr. Lupin!"

His lips tugged upwards when she noticed that it let the sunshine in, because that was one of the reasons he had picked the room as well. All their children's room had windows big enough to let plenty of sunshine in, because he wanted nothing but the best for them, and if he could give it to them then he would without a question or doubt in his mind.

As he watched her cuddle the bears, Remus leaned against the threshold of the door and chuckled warmly under his breath as his smile grew.

He was home.

"I am very happy to hear that, because it took me hours to pick the right ones. There's also another one, a different kind, in Maisie's room and another one in Teddy's."

She stepped towards him, still cuddling the plushies, then suddenly laughed for joy and just twirled 'round, her hair changing from the brighter bubblegum to match the pink of the bears. Which promptly got dropped back on their chair as she moved to open the window, breathing in the familiar, if winter, air.

This place, this HOUSE she was feeling around her, this room - this man whose smiling eyes could make her forget ANYthing else - as they were smiling, bright blue, right now

Remus couldn't help it; he grinned as he watched her because her happiness was so contagious. This was right. It was perfect. They had barely walked into the room and already it was filled with happiness.

Nothing bad could happen with that, right?

He wrapped his arms around her waist once she approached him and leaned down for a soft kiss. He could already see the cribs, too. Where the toy chest would be placed. Where toys will probably be laying around, and their babies running around.

Merlin. Babies. It was still so hard to believe that.

"So are we still set on pink for the girls' room?" Because he had gotten a lot of pink paint. His little angels, all three of them, would have pink rooms if that made them happy. "I managed to steer Teddy away from a very bright turquoise for his; it was...blinding," he added with a small laugh. "And we still have to choose the rest of the colours. For the library, Andromeda's room, and...everything."

Nothing bad could, or would, happen. This was their home, and MERLIN she knew they would both work to make it good. For all the children, no exceptions.
And for each other.

The kiss... was perfect. Small, slow, tender. Calming her down a little bit - they did have work to do - bouncing around would most definitely not speed that up
