*The sound of the front door opening echoes through the Tonks-Wrangle flat, followed shortly by someone humming to herself. Plunk goes her bag on the floor, thunk as she drops a pile of books and papers on the coffee table.*

Bernard? I'm back!

*He rolls his eyes.*

Oh, please. You're beautiful, but you're skinny.

[clumsy_auror]

I know. Mum always says I worry it all off.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Your Mum's right.

*A grin*

Why d'you think I'm so svelte, myself?

[clumsy_auror]

*a raspberry on the side of his neck*

Svelte, indeed. You and your long legs...

*Slowly, he pulls himself around, and nudges her down on the couch, till they meet in the middle. He wraps a leg around her hip.*

You like it.

[clumsy_auror]

*Flushing, she tilts her head to kiss him soundly, one of her hands running down the outside of his leg.*

...I think we both know that's an understatement.

*Before she can even really pull back, he's kissing her again, his tongue flickering into her mouth, his hand trailing up and down her spine.*

[clumsy_auror]

*The flush on her cheeks deepens, and she doesn't really pull away as the kiss ends -- just murmurs against his lips.*


Mine.

Can't believe that.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*His eyes are closed at first, his smile like a sunrise as they slit open.*

Yours.

Without a second thought.

Forever.

[clumsy_auror]

Forever.

*Another slow, sweet kiss, and then she rests her forehead against his.

Her smile matches his.*

We should go get her up. Otherwise she won't sleep tonight.

And I think we want her to sleep tonight.

*He nods.*

Okay.

*Another brief kiss.*

I love you.

[clumsy_auror]

I love you, too.

*She hugs him tightly for a moment, and then waits.*



...I really can't get up unless you do.

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

Curses.

*A kiss to her neck.*

My sinister plans are revealed.

*Reluctantly, he uncurls himself from around her and stands, stretching.*

[clumsy_auror]

And if those crazy kids hadn't meddled in things...

*She snickers and stands, taking his hand and tugging him towards the hall.*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*He looks at her bemusedly as he follows her.

He's got no idea what she just referenced.*

[clumsy_auror]

*Laughing, she runs ahead into Sunny's room.*

[the-woodpecker.livejournal.com]

*Bernard follows at a slightly more sedate pace, smiling now to see her so joyful.

He leans against the wall outside Sunny's door, just listening to the gentle way she wakes their daughter up, grinning at Sunny's grumpy reaction, thinking of when he should start work on the baby's room.

Anthony.

Not Antonia, that's for sure.

After a moment, he rounds the corner of the doorjamb, smiling, and goes to greet his eldest child after her nap.*
