~ The night she was born~

February 1979
For Andromeda Tonks, the last 9 months were long, to long for her liking. Each month and trimester grew worse than the previous and each limb would ache. Her symptoms were no good either, her swollen feet made her waddle everywhere and the life time supply of carrots were starting to disappear after the months of craving them being dipped into chocolate. Yes it was a difficult pregnancy, worse than her first with her now five year old Nymphadora, but it truly felt heaven like, blissful.
Whereas for the father of the children, Ted was not doing so well. With the Ministry demanded extra "at home" paper work, a heavily pregnant wife- who at any moment could give birth- and a daughter changing her self into a duck every minute, was unbelievable and back-braking.
The stress had become a toll on poor Ted, and with his wife needing to be waited on and a child running around causing mayhem, Ted needed help.

Without a thought, he grabbed spare parchment paper, printed with the Ministry logo, and began to write in a rushing manor. Calling for the family owl- Purple, who was latched onto the study's window, before it grabbed the now rolled up paper and headed to its destination.

Within just 15 minutes, four figures materialised into the fireplace that was decorated with pictures of the family. Unaware of the people who had arrived, Ted was found chasing a small child, with the now bright pink flop of hair bouncing, as she ran away carrying a knife from her father.

"Dora what have I said about holding knives?" A feminine voice popped out, coming towards the fireplace. Both sprinting Tonks' stopped in their tracks, startled by the person. Coming out of the fireplace, dusting the soot of their clothes were two out of four of the Marauders- Sirius Black and James Potter, and his wife Lily and close friend of the Tonks' Emma Vanity. The woman who spoke, Lily Potter, looked crossed at a young Nymphadora before suggesting with her hands to give the knife to Ted.

With a sigh leaving his lips, Ted placed the sharp object back into its holder and placed it on the top shelf of a mounted cupboard, hoping his daughter didn't morph into a giant to get it back in her possession.
"Thank you for coming, didn't realise all yous would show up, but I really need help" Ted cried as he held onto the shoulders of the child, who was running on the spot.

"No worries mate, we we're actually about to have a few drinks- but this seems better" laughed the young cousin of Meda, Sirius.

"Where's the other half of the party?" Questioned the young father, with bags formed under his eyes, as he let his daughter run around freely again.

With all of them now out of the open planned kitchen and dining room and making their way into the entrance hall to place their belongings on hooks, the brown haired man with circular glasses spoke up "Full moon for Moony tonight, so he's resting and Peter, well Peter's god knows where- haven't heard of him in weeks" he confessed as he entered the living room to see a exhausted Andromeda climb up and off the couch, snail like.

"Shame really wanted him to be god father of this little boy" stated Meda as she was assisted by her cousin and best friend Emma, to help her on her feet. By everyone glancing in her direction, all with a 'wtf' look plastered on their faces, Andromeda tittered to herself before continuing "I'm kidding, I'm kidding. No way in Merlin will that rat tail be a god father, not after what he said about Dora's hair. Have you seen him?"

With silent chuckles, everyone but the mother sat down on the couches as Meda made her way to the bathroom.
"So what do you need help with?" Quizzed Emma, who was sitting a bit close to Sirius on the love seat.
