Raise Me Up
"Astoria calm down." Draco said softly trying to placate his distressed wife who was now being fanned by one of house elves.
Astoria got up, her lower lips quivering dramatically and her large, cold blue eyes with their fluttering lashes taking on a theatrical 'woe is me' look that Draco was now so familiar with.
"Me!" she screeched out, lifting one perfectly manicured , long nailed, crimson painted hand to her chest as if she were clutching her heart. Though thought Draco wryly for one to clutch a heart one must possess one and all Astoria had in her chest cavity was a gold detecting device.
"Me a mother of a... a…" her voice rose one more decibel as Draco winced. "A mother of a RETARD!"
Draco felt white hot anger coursing though his veins and hazing his vision. If he weren't the man that he was and the kind that hit women ….he would have hit her.
The furious, savage anger rushed through his body like a drug, making him shake in an attempt to control it.
Stalking forward with lethal intent, he narrowed his eyes at Astoria. The stupid bint was going on and on with her tirade not even looking at him, otherwise she would have known to stop, the moment she opened her mouth.
Draco caught hold of her upper arm in a death grip and yanked her forward. His face a mask of fury, "If you ever! And I mean ever… talk about my son like that. I will have you killed… do I make myself clear." He snarled at her, feeling satisfaction trickle through him when he saw the terrified look on her face.
"But darling you cannot be serious? What will my friends say when they get to know about the brats condition?" she said fluttering her hands around herself.
"First of all, do I look like I give a fuck about what your friends will say? About MY SON and if you're stupid enough to think I will, you really are dumber than I thought. And second when have you ever been a mother to 'the brat' as you so charmingly put it? Scorpius has been foisted like a bag of unwanted luggage from nanny to nanny, nurse to nurse. Who without being a part of him biologically have loved him more that you ever can!"
Stepping closer and closer now in full speed, Draco vented his frustrations.
"Astoria you don't have a heart, you have a lump of ice in your chest and heavens forbid someone is not part of your 'perfect' lifestyle! You are a spoiled rotten pretend princess with no goal in life and you are a waste of good space. You know what…. I have no words. Just get the hell out of my house and take your shit with you. You can insult me, my family ,my entire fucking world but not my son, your son….. I have had enough of you. Just get the fuck out of my house"
Astoria's mouth hung open as she gaped wordlessly at him but quickly regaining her composer she then giving him an icy smile she walked out of the room, pausing at the threshold to look back at him and said slowly. "You will regret this, dearly…"
"You can take your threats to your precious daddy and tell him to come at me with all he has, I will take you down. Do you understand wife ... And trust me when I say this…. When my lawyers are done with you, you will not have a penny in your name from my side." Draco said to her coldly.
Draco woke up sweating profusely, his dark gray tee- shirt clinging to his hard pectoral muscles and his tight packed abdomen. He felt a familiar tightness in his chest, it was always there when he had this particular dream.
He felt an unusual weight on his chest and looked up to see his son resting comfortably on Draco's rib cage, his tiny bottom in the air and his pink lips puckered out as he made small sucking sounds in his sleep.
Draco felt the same rush of love as always when he looked at Scorpius, and as always it overwhelmed him to the point that he felt that he couldn't contain it. He never knew that he could feel this way about another human being, his child was his everything, and Draco could not imagine how Astoria could walk away from this miracle.
His miracle…
As if sensing that he was the topic of his father's thoughts Scorpius's eyes fluttered open, hazy with sleep.
Another symptom of Angelman was the difficulty in sleeping and often times Draco stayed awake the entire night rocking the baby to sleep.
Scorpius gave his father his special smile, which he reserved just for Draco, all with the dimples and big-big blue eyes. And reached out with his chubby little hands and clutched his father's cheeks.
Draco grinned and picked him up. "Okay come on big boy, now that your awake let's see if we can do something fun."
Scorpius gurgled up at his father, his small little legs going like mad. Draco caught one perfect little foot and pressed a kiss to its underside, laughing when his son crinkled his nose at the unfamiliar sensation.
Putting the little boy down on his swing in the living room, Draco stepped into the kitchen to pour him some juice. The door left open so that he could listen for the child.
And suddenly it went very silent….
Too silent….
Scorpius was a very vocal baby, he may not have been able to talk but he would always gurgle or coo or make some sort of sound.
The glass dropped from Draco's hands as he rushed into the other room.
Scorpius was seizing ! His eyes rolling into the back of his head and his small body wracked with spasms after spasm every few seconds, his tiny mouth was open and spit and blood was gushing out of his lips as the baby tried to hold on to the bars of his swing. His body kept shaking with violent shocks !
Draco rushed forward and grabbed his baby of the swing and put him down gently on the couch. He always kept bottles of his anti-seizure medications on ever flat surface because he had seen this happen before.
Quickly filling the syringe Draco inserted it into his little boy's soft skin. The first prick of the needle sent Scorpius into hysterical howls and tears flew down his face unbidden as he struggled to move away, this was hard for Draco knowing that he was causing his son all this pain but he couldn't help it, without the medicine his son would most likely die…
But if Draco could take his pain, he would in a heartbeat….
