Tonks cuddled up to Gabe and Remus, and she ran her fingers absently through her son's hair. With her other hand she found Remus's and squeezed it comforting. This wasn't going to be easy for any of them, but it was like a bandage: once it was off, it was off, and then there would be questions for weeks. Possibly for several full moons after. In the end though, she knew how much Gabe loved and looked up to Remus, and everything would be all right. And if for some reason Gabe didn't react well, she would do whatever she possibly could to make things right.
"Yeah," said Gabe to his father, avoiding eye contact. He did it when he was nervous, and the corner of Tonks's mouth turned downward. Did he expect some sort of punishment for something he did?
"They're normal people who just get a bit furry once a month, remember?" said Tonks softly, giving Gabe a reassuring smile. "Nothing bad about them at all. It's like being a Metamorphmagus."
Gabe nodded again, still keeping his head down, and it pulled at Tonks's heartstrings.
"Hey," she whispered, nuzzling Gabe's cheek. "It's okay. You're not in any trouble, and nothing bad's happening. We just need to have a family moment, okay?" She pushed a lock of hair out of his eyes. "Big smile, yeah?"
Gabe obeyed, flashing Remus and Tonks a wide smile and showing off a missing bottom tooth.
