Prompt 7 – A mother tucking her child into bed

Word count: 363


Astoria and Draco had been enjoying their quiet night cuddled up on the sofa talking until the moment all hell broke loose.

Marcus, their three year old, came running down the stairs with his teddy bear clutched to his chest, his cheeks tear stained. Then Ellie, their eight month old began crying in her cot.

"So much for a peaceful night," Draco said as he got up to take Ellie into his arms.

"It's what happens when you have children," Astoria said, looking at him.

"I know and I wouldn't change a thing, but I was enjoying being cuddled up with you," Draco said, smiling.

"Well, the sooner we have these two back to sleep, the sooner we can get back to that," she said, kissing him softly before going to pick Marcus up into her arms.

"What happened?"

"Nightmare. I'm scared, Mummy."

"It's alright, Marcus, Mummy's here now; you're safe. Nothing will ever hurt you, I promise. Come on; let's get you back to bed."

Before she left the room with their son, she turned to see Draco rocking Ellie in his arms singing to her as she cuddled into him, calming at his soothing voice. Astoria smiled. She loved seeing him with the children; he was a brilliant father.

Once they were in Marcus' room, Astoria wordlessly spelled the night light to stay on until he was asleep; knowing that would put him at ease. Tucking him into bed, she kissed his forehead.

Marcus met her gaze and gripped her hand tightly. "Don't go, Mummy," he said, his bottom lip trembling.

"I'm not going to, I'll stay until you're asleep. Your night light is on too," she said, stroking his blond hair soothingly.

Calming slightly at that, Marcus snuggled down into bed, holding her hand while his free one had his teddy against his chest, his eyes drooping.

Astoria stayed until he was sleeping peacefully, leaving the night light on as she'd promised, she left the room and went downstairs to find Draco laid on the sofa asleep with Ellie cradled in his arms.

She smiled at the sight before her.

I love them all so much, my perfect little family.
