Andromeda didn't quite know what to do with herself. The implications of her daughter being alive again after this last year was just so momentous and amazing but nerve wracking and frightening all in one moment. She was Nymphadora but not her at the same time, she was alive and yet very much dead... Andromeda was torn between relief and disgust at herself but the former won out due to the desire to hold her little girl in her arms again. So with thoughts of a reunion the woman had finally rose from her writing desk and scrambled around her home, taking pictures from their frames, haphazardly dragging a shawl across her shoulders and throwing her hair up into some semblance of order before she'd gotten around to gathering Teddy as she'd said she would do.

She wasn't sure Nymphadora understood who Teddy actually was, but she'd do her best to explain and it would be rather harsh to drop Teddy off with Harry so she could gallivant across London to visit a woman who came from another dimension anyway. Even if she was supposed to be her daughter. So, with a few misgivings but ultimately giving in to the notion Andromeda smoothed out her long skirts and very gently lifted Teddy out of his pin and with a whispered word of soft happiness she apparated with the boy in tow.

***

St. Mungos was intimidating on a regular day, it was large and chaotic and oddly overwhelming but even more so now; Andromeda's heart pounded in her chest and she felt weak from her excitement and nervousness and was trying not to run but still looking left and right eagerly for the right door.

And there.

Andromeda paused and exhaled a very slow breath then blinked back her tears. She didn't move, couldn't. She just stared, adjusted Teddy's position on her hip then very slowly pushed the door open.

Dora was relieved to see Sirius enter and even more relieved that Andromeda didn't kill him on sight. At Sirius' exclamation, however, she realised that her mother wasn't going to be as nice about this as she'd hoped.

Standing, she reached out to give Sirius' hand a quick (and hopefully reassuring) squeeze, then bent down to pick Teddy up. She didn't think him slamming his fingers in the drawer would do anything to improve the tension in the room, and while it was awkward holding him, he seemed to settle nicely in her arms.

"Can we please retract the claws?" she said to Andromeda, not terribly happy with her behaviour. "We've been married for four years, and he treats me brilliantly." Managing to balance the toddler on her hip, Nymphadora held him with one arm and snaked the other around Sirius' waist. "Really, I promise. Nothing awful about it. And he isn't twice my age, I'll have you know - I'm twenty-three and he's thirty-six." Glancing up at Sirius, she gave him an apologetic look, though it was for her mother's actions and not for the fact that she'd married him in the first place.

"I love him, he loves me, and maybe it isn't the sort of love you think it ought to be, but it's legal and there's nothing wrong with it. It's not like he's my brother or uncle or something. So can we please just get over the shock and move on to the important stuff here?"
