"I know. You're the only one," Remus answered with a wry smile. People had looked at him differently for the whole of his life. Tonks never really had, and that alone would have endeared her to him, even if there hadn't been other reasons for him to love her. There had been, though. "I'm sorry if you're embarrassed." He understood how it could be though. A young woman, no husband, alone with a child. There shouldn't be any stigma attached to that, in this day and age. But there was. Some old traditions might never die a much-needed death.
He squeezed back, smiling at her. "You won't have to. That much I know for sure." If nothing else, she'd have her parents, and her friends. Even if something happened to Remus. And he would be there too, as much as possible, and as much as she was comfortable with.
