Narcissa Malfoy was pacing up and down her son's nursery trying to console his cries at three in the morning.
"Please Dragon; mommy's tried." Naricassa pleaded with her small son. "I've fed you, changed you, sung to you, read to you. What else do you want my boy?" sighing with defeat Narcissa sat in the white rocking chair.
She rocked her five month old son back and forth hoping the gentle sway would calm his wails.
Lucius Malfoy had woken up to find his wife not by his side. The bed was cold next to him; she had obviously been gone for a while. He stood from the bed pulled on his dressing gown.
As he walked out his room the wails of his son's cries hit his ears. He approached the nursery to see his wife of three years rocking their son back and forth in the rocking chair he has brought her.
"Darling" Lucius spoke quietly.
Narcissa looked up at her husband with guilty eyes. "Did he wake you dear; I'm sorry. He's inconsolable." She looked down at her soon with pleading eyes. "Please Draco go to sleep."
Lucius walked towards his exhausted wife. He looked down on them.
"Go get some sleep Narcissa I will take him."
Narcissa stood with a crying Draco in her arms. She handed her husband their crying son and kisses Lucius's cheek. "Thank you Lucius"
Lucius looked at his tiny son. He was a Malfoy indeed. Many people had commented he was a miniature Lucius; Lucius smiled. He slowly sat in the rocking chair and spoke quietly to his son.
"Your not an easy baby are you my Dragon. You always want your mother's attention."
The baby's wails became quieter and softer as Lucius spoke.
"Your mother is an amazing woman Draco. She went through so much to have to. She promised me an heir and she kept that promise. 9 months of hard work for you Draco and you are worth it; even if you keep us up at night."
Draco's grey eyes stared at his father's face as Lucius continued speaking.
"When you were born they didn't think you would survive; you were weak and your lungs were struggling to cope. Your mother's heart broke at that moment; as did mine. You are very much wanted my son. You are precious."
Draco's eyes slowly closed; submitting to sleep. Lucius placed his son in his round crib and kisses his small head.
"Sleep well my precious Dragon" Lucius whispered to his sleeping son.
Narcissa was fast asleep with her hair fanned into his pillow. Lucius climbed into bed next to his young wife.
"Is he asleep?" She asked sleepily.
"He just wanted someone to talk to him" Lucius replied snuggling into Narcissa.
"No he wanted you to talk to him." She closed her eyes admitted defeat.
"I love you Narcissa" Lucius whispers from behind Narcissa.
"Love….you….too." She whispered.
