After receiving many phone calls from the hospital, Draco gave in and agreed to come in for a check-up. He couldn't believe that they wanted him to get a check up because of getting wet. He was due to be there in an hour, so he decided he should start get himself and his son Scorpius ready.
"Scorpius?" Draco called up the stairs
"Yes dad" A small voice replied
"We're going out so pack up your toys and I'll be up there in a minute to get you sorted" He informed his son
"Ok Dad" before tidying away his toys.
Draco POV
After preparing a packed lunch for Scorpius and I, I walked upstairs to find my son still putting away his train set, I stood there and watched him, he has bright blond hair and blue eyes, he was still in his baby blue PJs and had no shoes or socks on.
"Nice PJs" I said to inform Scorpius I was there, he turned around with a giant smile on his face "Can I wear them out today Dad?" I laughed "Sorry Scorp, not this time, it's not the right time" I hated letting him down but I seem to always be. I felt like a terrible father but no one would help a suspected ex-deatheater.
"But, you always say that. Please let me, I'll behave, I promise" he begged.
I stated, "It isn't proper, you can't walk around outside in your PJs, that's what clothes are for. PJs are for when you go to bed." I stated seeing his face drop.
"B-b-but, these are so comfortable and I feel free, not trapped or reictid" He tried arguing but I needed to keep my ground, right? That's what parents do?
I decided to correct him hoping he'd give up soon. "Restricting. You can choose what you want to wear, I generally let you. But PJs is not an option" just as I finished the sentence, his eyes started watering up and falling down his face.
2 hours later – At the hospital
"Hermione, the children, they need to be picked up but someone hasn't turned up for there appointment yet. Can you please cover for me; I promised Madison I'll pick her up from school today." Amelia explained desperately.
"I need to pick up Rose from school in 20 minutes though" I stated thinking of a solution, just before I was able to speak Amelia suggested a bit too loud
"I'll pick up Rose and bring her here, if my patient hasn't come by then we'll mark him as a no-show, we're required to wait for up to an hour for check ups." Amelia looked as if I said no she'll fall apart
"Ok, Ok. Give me the patients file and I'll see you back here" I said smiling as I received a massive hug, folder landed on the floor in front of me as the fireplace nearest went off with green flames, "and to think, she's older then I am." I laughed picking up the folder "and today I have Drac..." WHAT? Oh she is going to suffer for this. Amelia knows our history, so that's why she left so quickly after I agreed. Great, I hope he doesn't turn up. She broke from her thoughts as a young blond boy who was most like just over 3 came running into me. I lost my balance and found myself sitting on the floor, across from me the boy had a worried expression on his face.
Before I could speak he asked desperately "Please don't tell my Dad, I told him I would be good if I could wear my PJs out." He's so cute
"Well, I see you are wearing your PJs, they're very nice, love the colour." I said calmly trying to reassure him.
"Yes, he did say no at first but we were running really late to come here, so he let me and now I'm going to be in trouble for hurting someone" he had tears in his eye and was on the verge of crying.
"Hey, hey, hey, don't cry, I'm not hurt, don't cry" I hated when children cried, it broke my heart. I brought him into hug and he held me tightly as if his life depended on it "Shhhh, its ok, shhhh" He pulled away a little bit and looked into my eyes with his watery eyes; I was extremely shocked by what he next said
"Is this what it's like having a mum?"
My heart broke at that question and my eyes started to water thinking that this boy, who was about the same age as her daughter, doesn't have a mother, only a father. He leaned in and hugged me again. "We need to find your Dad, I'm sure he'll be worried, what's your name?" I said just above a whisper.
"Scorpius!" A male and familiar voice called from a distance "Where are you? Scorpius?"
"That my Dad" Scorpius stated. I picked him up after I realised he wouldn't let go, I followed the voice finding it was Draco calling for the boy, it took a few minutes before I approached him. I took in a deep breathe before calling him "Draco." It wasn't as loud as I expected but loud enough for him to turn around and see us. I thought I saw the fear in his eyes disappear as he saw Scorpius safe
"Why are you holding my son?" he hesitated before adding "and why is he asleep?" I looked at him confused before look down at the boy in my eyes and realised he was asleep.
"He was upset, I didn't realise he feel asleep. Anyway, let me give you a quick check up so you can get out of here quicker then you got here." She asked and walked into a cubical without waiting for an answer; Draco followed her and sat on the bed.
Hermione was getting everything ready whilst holding Scorpius, "Can you please take your top off?" She asked simply, as though she has asked it 100times already that day.
"Why do you need me topless and why …" she began before getting interrupted
"I need to check your chest ensuring there's no swelling due to the excess water that could have entered you lungs." She waited a few seconds before asking standard questions, checked his blood pressure and other routine checkups "Ok, all done your fine, bye" Just as I was walking out he stood up and took my free arm. "Can I have my son back?"
