What is it, Nym?

Chapter 4

News of Tonks and I, reached work. Which meant Ron heard. He didn't come to my office again though. He came to my apartment. It was Saturday, and Nym was over. We were always over at each others apartments. We were on the couch, talking, and there was a knock on the door. I looked at her, and stood up. I had been thinking about how odd it was, that I hadn't seen him. I walked to the door, and she followed me. I opened it to see a very angry Ron.

"Ron? What are you doing here?"

He pushed past me and I noticed Nym's hair turn red. He didn't say anything to her, which was a good thing. When she's pissed, you don't want it directed at you.

"So, it's true? You're dating her?"

So, he had heard. Oh great. Well, at least my office won't be ruined and no one ( I hope) will be arrested. We were standing in the hall, looking at one another.

"Yes, Ron. I am."

He didn't look happy, at all.

"Are you serious? You were dating me a few weeks ago."

"Yes, Ron. I am. I found someone who actually listens to me, and actually cares about me."

He turned to look at Nym.

"I knew there was something going on between you."

Oh crap, he pissed her off. She took a step toward him, but he didn't move.

"I"

"That's it. Ron, out. I never cheated on you, and you know it. She treats me better than you ever did."

An argument started and Ron brought up the fact that Nym was pregnant. She didn't even get the chance to react. I threatened to hex him into the next century, along with a few profanities before she even got the chance to open her mouth. After being threatened and slammed against a wall (several times) by her , she ordered him to leave. He actually listened and left, but not before saying that this was all a phase and that I'd be back with him in no time. He walked out, slamming the door behind him, and I looked at Nym. Her hair was still bright red, and she was looking at me.

"Are you OK?"

She's asking me if I'm OK?!

"Come on."

I went back into the living room and sat down. She walked over to sit next to me, and I grabbed her hand.

"Never mind me, he's an idiot. Are you OK?"

She shrugged, looking away.

"I ............. I knew he'd say something, but bringing that up"

"I know, come here."

Him bringing up the babies had really upset her. I wrapped my arms around her, and she relaxed a little. It was one way that never failed to help her relax. I kissed the top of her head, and her hair turned purple. Oh great, she's thinking about something, and considering the fight I knew it was something silly.

"Nym, I know what you're thinking, and I'm here for you. Don't listen to him, I care about you and these two."

I lay my hand on her stomach, and she covered mine with hers. I really meant it, I cared about her and the twins. I didn't move my hand and she didn't say anything.

"Thanks, baby."

Nicknames now?

"Baby?"

She looked up at me, smiling. She sat up, and took the hand which had been on her stomach in both her hands.
