Thank you AlphaDoggg, BlackTea, and Lollipop for the reviews.

BlackTea I'm not sure either I'm going based off my niece and nephew's development. My niece is now 2 and started counting at 11months and recognized almost all her body parts by 18months, plus I figure I have to try and fit a year into 1month because they will age 1 yr every month.

Enjoy =]

Draco awoke suddenly, an ear splitting cry penetrating is skull. He shook his head and stumbled towards Lucina's crib. Mumbling under his breath he picked the crying child up into his arms, leaning down to pick up her forgotten pacifier.

"Shhshhhshh," he hushed her while rocking her gently, "what's wrong Luc? Did you have a bad dream?" The crying child rubbed her eyes roughly while nodding yes, "do you want to sleep with me tonight?" Again he was answered with a silent yes.

He carefully climbed into bed laying Lucina down next to him. She quickly snuggled into his side getting comfortable. Draco let his mind wonder while settling back into the realm of sleep.

"I want mom," he heard Lucina whimper out. This was what he was worried about.

"You will see her tomorrow, lets go to sleep now." He shifted so that he could rub her back soothingly. Draco remembered when he was a little child his mother would rub is back like this, that is until is father deemed it babying.

Soon they both were fast asleep.

The day came too quickly in Draco's opinion. He got up stretched out his limbs then headed for the bathroom, Lucina still sleeping in the center of his blankets.

By the time Draco was ready for the day Lucina was stirring. He went over and changed her diaper with a little hassle as Lucina preferred to be bottomless.

"Okay lets chose your clothes for the day," Draco said, taking a tip from class and letting Lucina pick out her own clothes.

He pulled a couple dresses, shirts, skirts and pants from Lucina's dresser and layed them out for her to pick from, along with some stockings. Draco watched as she looked at things and picked up things then put them down and picked up others. After six minutes of deliberation Lucina had finally decided on her outfit and was trying, unsuccessfully to put them on.

Draco stepped in to help her pull on the soft yellow dress, bright green stretch pants and purple cardigan. She reminded him of a sunflower and a little like Lovegood.

"What shoes are we going to wear?" He asked her as he pulled out the tub with her shoes which were the basic blacks and whites. Lucina pulled out a pair of black rain boots with white polka dots and pulled them on, of course on the wrong feet.

Breakfast was a quick ordeal, being Saturday Lucina wanted to hang out with Luna her "mom" all day. They stopped and discussed plans with Luna and agreed to meet in east courtyard as it was raining and that one was covered.

Draco had to force Luci to finish her cereal so he could at least eat half of his omelet before she dragged him off his seat. He made eye contact with Luna before heading out the door. He felt a pang of anger as they walked silently down the hall, his friends had dropped him like a hot potato once his father was imprisoned. They didn't even give him a second glance and the only time they would was during Life Responsibilities when he talked.

When they arrived to the courtyard there were a couple other toddlers running around. Lucina was happy to find her friends out today. Draco watched as she played with some Ravenclaw's child, they were jumping from brick to brick and laughing happily. Luci seemed to forget that she had begged and pleaded to see Luna.

"Hey stranger," he recognized Lovegood's voice easily these days.

"So, is we haven't really talked about it but is it okay for Luci to call you mom? I mean I don't want anyone getting attached too much..." He trailed off not sure how to handle the situation. He shifted a little bit leaning on one of the brick walls.

"It's fine, even fake children need mom's right?" Luna said softly leaning against Draco's shoulder slightly.

"Are you going home for the Holidays?" Draco had been avoiding the thoughts of home, including the winter Holidays. He would be going home of course, having two weeks off from school including this project was what he needed, plus his mother really wanted to see him.

"Oh yes, I suppose I should my father always plans a trip the the hulala mountains in search of the crumpled horned snorkacks it's the only time to see them," she hmm'd and haw'd, "I heard you guys don't have to care for your projects during that time, I think it would be healthy for your class, put things in perspective you know?"

"Yeah perspective." He sighed as he watched the blonde hair girl prance around.
