"The damn house elves haven't finished cleaning the ballroom for this evening!" Lucius barked, entering his bedroom.
"Shhh, darling, he finally fell asleep," Narcissa breathed. She waved Lucius over to the bassinet where their newborn son's chest was rising gently with the calm breaths characteristic of a sleeping child.
Lucius fell in next to Narcissa by the side of the bassinet and stared down at the tiny sleeping boy. Draco was a beautiful child, a completely flawless baby as far as looks were concerned. However, Draco slept so rarely and at such odd times that Lucius and Narcissa both worried about him. The pair was also starting to go slightly mad from their own lack of sleep and personal time because of their son's bizarre sleep schedule.
"Sweet Merlin, it's a miracle," Lucius whispered. "We didn't even have to pull out Madam Somnia's Bedtime Spells for Infants. What did you do?"
"I didn't do anything but put him down with his pacifier."
"All the same, I could bloody well kiss you right now."
"Then why don't you?" Narcissa asked coyly.
A wicked grin spread across her husband's face. The baby had meant they hadn't done anything in weeks. Perhaps some couples had no problem with being sexless for a while, but the Malfoys were not that couple.
Making an extra effort to be more quiet than normal, Lucius tugged Narcissa towards him, and they both fell onto their satin sheets. Lucius forcefully explored Narcissa's mouth with his lips and tongue. Her response to him was eager, needy, and a moan escaped her as one of his hands slid slowly up her blouse.
"Careful," Lucius murmured against her lips. "Don't want to wake him."
Slowly he moved his kisses across one of her cheekbones and then down her neck. As his lips first brushed against the nape of her neck, his hands smoothly worked to tug open the buttons of her shirt.
Then, out of nowhere, Lucius was unable to prevent a yawn. He pulled away from his wife, a bit embarrassed. They hadn't had sex in about a month, and he was yawning in the midst of the foreplay!
"I'm sorry Cissa. The baby just has me so tired." No response. "Cissa?"
Lucius stifled a laugh. In the midst of his kisses and most likely long before his yawn, his poor wife had dozed off. He placed one final kiss on her forehead before gently pulling the covers over the both of them.
Within five minutes, all three Malfoys were sound asleep.
