Raine’s POV
It had been a full five years since the Marauders had graduated, and I have never looked back on my decision to grow older with my friends. I sighed contently and snuggled closer to Remus- whom I was lying on under the covers.
“Good morning, love” he whispered in my ear. I shivered and kissed his collarbone. Remus chuckled and nuzzled his head in my messy hair.
A few hours later our utopia was disturbed by a 22 year old Padfoot swinging open the door.
“Ah, ha!” he pointed at us, relaxed and fully awake on the bed.
“Yes, Padfoot?” both Moony and I asked at the same time before all three of us burst out laughing.
“W-well, Prongs, Lily-flower and Harry invited us to go to the beach today.” Padfoot chuckled.
I was surprised, but Moony seemed to know what was going on.
“Is everything set up?” Remus asked
“Yep, and I’m officially Harry’s Godfather today!”
I smiled and got out of bed, clad in a tank top and short shorts- and hugged Padfoot.
“Aww! I’m so happy for you!”
Padfoot and Moony chuckled.
“Angel, are you alright? Your hug was really… weak!”
I froze slightly then laughed nervously.
“I don’t know what you are talking about.”
They shrugged it off and I left to take a shower and get ready.
Today was the day I would tell Moony about my big secret- he was going to be a father.
Remus’ POV
Raine left the room and I let out a huge breath.
“Is everything ready Moony?” Padfoot whispered
“Yeh.” I whimpered; I was so nervous.
“Show me the ring”
I walked to my closet and dug to the back, pulling out a red velvet box. I opened it and showed Padfoot, who whistled.
“Wow, Moony.”
I smiled and quickly got changed into my swimming trunks- like Padfoot was. I put the box in a backpack with food in it.
Angel walked into our room and wrapped her arms around my waist. I groaned and looked at the floor.
“See you too there.” Padfoot wiggled his eyebrows before disapparating.
I rolled my eyes and looked back at Angel.
“If you don’t put something on or go to the beach, I’ll take you here and now.” I growled playfully.
She laughed lightly.
“Then let’s go!”
Angel disapparated, with me a few seconds behind her, grabbing the backpack.
Today was the day I asked Raine to marry me.

Raine’s POV
I got to the secluded beach the Marauders claimed as their own and grinned as I saw Prongs and his new family.
“Prongsy!” I yelled. Prongs looked up and ran to me, picking me up and swinging me around. I laughed but told him not to do that again. He chuckled and messed up my hair.
I walked with him and greeted Lily- giving her a hug before kissing Harry on the forehead. I straightened up and sat down as Moony arrived.
“Hey! Let’s go swimming! We’re at a beach for Merlin’s sake!” Padfoot wined
I laughed and got up, dragging Moony with me. I held Remus’ hand and ran to the water- jumping in.
“Yeah Angel, pull me in, why don’t ya?” Moony joked. I laughed and kissed him, his arms around my waist. I could hear the clicks of cameras- and joking coming from Prongs and Padfoot at our expense.
Hours later…
We had eaten and were packing up when Moony took a deep breath and rummaged through the backpack he brought. I paid him no attention and continued to watch the sunset.
“Hey, Angel, look this way and say hi.” Prongs told me- holding a muggle video camera. I rolled my eyes and grinned, waving to the camera.
All of the people at the picnic had seemed to turn their attention to me, as Remus walked up to me and tucked a loose strand of hair out of my face.
He took a deep breath and knelt down, bringing a red velvet box out from behind his back. I gasped and stared at him and he gave me a crooked smile.
“My Angel, we met on the Hogwarts Express twelve years ago and there was instantly no gravity holding me down to the Earth- it was just you. And over the years we’ve gone through so many things together, and yet we are still closer than anyone can imagine. As my imprint, you taught me the meaning of love- and I will forever be in your debt for it."
I sniffled, hands covering my face, and my eyes filled to the brim with tears just waiting to overflow.
"Raine Midnight, I love you; and I have one question to ask. Will you give me the honour of becoming Raine Lupin, and my wife?”
He opened the box and I saw the most beautiful engagement ring I had ever seen.
I let out a strangled "Yes! Of course I'll marry you Remus!" as tears poured out of my eyes. He grinned and slipped the ring on my finger. Remus stood up and pulled me into his chest, crushing his lips against mine.
"AWW!" I could hear everyone else cooing at us, but I didn't care. Remus was my everything, and now he was about to find out that he would soon have to share me.
I pulled away and looked Remus in the eyes, smiling. He smiled back and wiped away my tears of happiness.
"Remus," I said, loud enough for everyone to hear me. "I have something to tell you."
His face stayed smiling, though I could see dread in his eyes.
"Go on." he said back, my face in his hands.
I took a deep breath.
"I'm pregnant."
"OH MY GOD RAINE! OH MY GOD!" Lily screamed
"Good job Moony!" Padfoot yelled
"Congrats you two!" Prongs yelled, wrapping an arm around his wife- who was holding Harry.
Remus breathed out, his eyes showing pure happiness.
"I'm... a dad?" he whispered
I smiled and nodded, taking off the appearance spell to show my month old baby-bump. I smiled again and gently grabbed Remus' hands, placing them gently on my belly in time for him to feel the baby kick.
Remus choked back a sob and fell to his knees, head at my belly.
"Hello, little one. It's daddy. Daddy's here. He's here" he cooed
