Throughout the whole ride from the coffee shop to Harry's house, Draco had glanced from the window to his daughter several times.
"You okay back there?" Harry asked. "You look a bit wary if you ask me."
"Just... I'm just a little bit worried."
"I'm not a murderer or anything if you're worried about that."
Draco giggled.
"Well, you seem to sweet to be a murderer."
Harry simply smiled as he made a right onto his street, feeling happy to be home.
"Are we on the right street?" Draco asked as he looked at the big houses, causing Harry to laugh.
"Yes, we're on the right street. I live in one of these houses."
"Wait a minute, are you rich?"
"All I am going to say is that I have enough money to have someone eliminated if I were a horrible person." Harry says.
"People must take advantage of you, don't they?"
"Yeah they do, but my friends are very protective of me because of it."
"That's good." Draco says as Harry pulls into his driveway. "I would choose my daughter over money any day."
"Well, you seem too sweet to be taking advantage of people that have money."
"We're getting out now?"
"Yup." Harry says as he takes the keys out of the engine, getting out of the car. He opened the door to the back of the car, grabbing a hold of the car seat that Victoria had been in. Draco took the car seat, attached it to the stroller and followed Harry up the couple of stairs. As soon as they stepped into Harry's house, Draco was in awe of what he saw.
"Welcome to Casa De Potter." Draco heard.
"Your house is gorgeous!"
"Thanks." Harry said with a smile on his face. "Make yourself at home. Are you hungry? I could make something that's quick and easy."
Draco nodded his head as he took off his shoes, placing them on the mat by the door. Ince his shoes were off, he then took the car seat out of the stroller, took Victoria out of it and proceeded to take off her little jacket.
"Hi, baby." Draco cooed, kissing her forehead causing her to wrinkle her nose and lips to curl. "Do you need any help, Potter?"
"No, just stay with your baby girl. You've had a long day." Harry said as he went to the kitchen.
Draco nods as he places Victoria's blanket on the comfy couch, laying her across it. He adjusted her headband, smiling softly at her. He then took a look around the living room simply taking everything in, and so far, nothing bad happened yet.
Victoria gurgled loudly.
Draco looked back at his daughter and smoothed out her brown hair. He smiled at her black eyes, brushing his nose against hers. He was glad that she mostly looked like him. The only thing that she had that weren't his were the color of his hair and eyes. Those belonged to her other father. The moment Draco saw Victoria's eyes when she opened them, he instantly fell in love with her.
Draco knew that Gregory Goyle wasn't going to be a good father the moment they found out that Draco was pregnant. He simply checked out and virtually ignored Draco for majority of the pregnancy. Since then, Draco vowed to be everything that Victoria would need.
"The food is done." Harry said as walked into the living room with two plates of pasta and placed them on the coffee table about an hour later.
"Thank you so much." Draco said with a smile as he took a plate.
"No problem.
Draco took a bite from the pasta and moaned.
"Do you like it?"
"It's delicious!" Draco exclaimed as he moaned through another bit of pasta. "How often do you cook?"
"I usually cook all the time when my friends come over. If i can say that because we all have keys to each other's homes." Harry says before he takes a bite of pasta from his own plate.
They both sat together on the couch, simply watching TV when Harry finished eating and played with Victoria with Draco's permission. He was lucky to have a pull-out couch, so he pulled it out just should in case Draco and Victoria fell asleep. Harry got on his knees and made funny faces at Victoria, who stared at at him and cooed loudly.
"You're a cutie, baby girl. Such a cutie patootie. Yes you are. Yes you are." Harry cooed at her in a baby voice as she held onto his finger.
Victoria smiled at him again.
"She smiled at me again! You are so cute!"
At that point, Draco looked sleepily over at the side where Harry was playing with is daughter with his heart fluttering, watching as Harry pressed a kiss onto Victoria's hand. Goyle never did that, and it pissed Draco off because Goyle treated her as if she were the plague. It was nice that someone else made Victoria smile.
"What is it like having a baby?" Harry asked him as he picked up Victoria.
"Which part?"
"All of it."
"Well, it's great. It feels like you're on top of the world and you feel invincible." Draco answered as he started to lie down on the pull out bed. "It's amazing to have someone that you'll love unconditionally, no matter what. I think that's one of the best highlights I can tell you right now.
"I can't wait to have that because it sounds wonderful." Harry said.
"It is."
As Harry was going to pass out, he noticed that Draco was sleeping, making him smile a bit.
"Come on, Victoria. Let's go find your daddy a nice, warm blanket." Harry quietly told the baby that was in his arms. He smiled as she was cooing and buming her little fists against his chest. Harry opened the lenin closet, grabbing a nice, thick, warm blanket for Draco. Once he got the blanket, he closed the door with his foot and walked back into the living room. He dropped the blanket next Draco's sleeping figure and placed Victoria in her car seat. Once the baby was in her seat, Harry opened the blanket and covered Draco's sleeeping figure with it, placing a soft kiss on his forehead.
"So, it's just me and you, cutie." Harry told the whining baby as he picked her up. He turned down the volume of the TV before sitting down next to Draco, but not too close to scare him away. As he laid down, Harry dug through Draco's baby bag, looking for a pacifier. He slipped it in her mouth gently before laying her down on his chest with her eyes gazing at him.
"Can I tell you a secret, Tori?"
Tori's head lifted a bit before she resting her head on his chest once more as she was sucking on her pacifier.
"I think your daddy is very cute and brave for taking care of you and being a songle father. That's amazing. Even though we just met today, I feel like we'll be a great little trio, don't you think?"
Victoria gurgled around her pacifier.
"Just me, you and daddy." He says as her hand clutched onto the collar of his shirt.
"I think to too, baby girl. I hope you don't mind that I nicknamed you Tori."
She clutches his shirt once more.
"We're gonna be great." Harry told her.
