Lucius was home in seconds. He hurried up the oak made staircase to their bedchamber, to find her standing by the window overlooking the gardens below. Her reflection showed that she wanted to cry, to let out all the pain. That was one reason he loved her, she would only let it all out if she were with him.

"Darling-

"Don't darling me Malfoy," She hissed.

Lucius stood behind her, placing his hands on her shoulders. The sky outside was going jet black now, a wild pheasant jumped through a hedge. He looked into her eyes through the window.

"Narcissa, I wanted no part in it." He whispered.

Narcissa scoffed and turned to face him.

"It didn't look that way to me," She said through gritted teeth.

Lucius raised a hand and stroked the soft skin on her cheek.

"I love you too much to ever do that," He said.

She scoffed and moved away from him.

"You haven't shown any affection toward me since I lost the baby," She affirmed.

"Cissa, I only thought you needed space to heal, I know how it affects you." Lucius said firmly.

Narcissa turned to face him again, tears welling up in her eyes.

"You know how it affects me? Are you fucking joking with me Lucius? You blame me that I haven't given you a child. You think it's my fault that I've lost three babies. You don't tell me what you're upto these days, you dare not look me in the eyes. We don't even talk about it, I'm all one my own in this. You don't even make love to me anymore, so when I show up at your office, hoping that tonight would be different, I catch you with that whore!" She shouted.

Lucius stood there in shock. She had never lost her temper like that before, it surprised him how much she had been holding back. He knew she wasn't finished, this was only the start to what she was feeling.

"Six years, three miscarriages. You've been so far away." She whispered, the tears starting to flow slowly down her ivory cheeks.

Lucius took her in his arms and held her tightly, she tried to pull away but he held her even tighter with every attempt she made.

"I don't talk about it because I didn't want to remind you of the pain, I didn't want you to feel pressured to try again too soon." He whispered, his forehead touching hers.

She whimpered as more tears started to flow more freely now. He could tell she was trying to stop them and try to be in control.

"You want a child so badly" She choked.

Lucius looked at her and sighed, "I would love to be a father, but I love you more than my own desires." He said quietly.

He pulled her into his chest as she started to sob. He held her there in silence, the only sound were Narcissa's sobs. His shirt was beginning to become wet from the tears that escaped his wife's eyes. He finally knew that they had misunderstood each other and how much pain she had been in since the first miscarriage.

He kissed her on top of her head, she looked up at him. Her eyes red and puffy from crying. Although she would consider herself to have been weak this night from crying, she had never been more beautiful to him. He bent his head down to hers, his lips lightly meeting hers. Some hesitancy about it. It only lasted a second.

Their kiss became more urgent, but they were determined not to rush this. It had been too long for both of them that they had been passionate and gentle with each other. Clothes were starting to be removed and thrown to the floor. Until they could only feel the warmth of each other's skin. Lucius wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her off her feet. He carried her over to the bed, she placed gentle kisses along his neck and collarbone. He laid her down, hovering slightly on top of her.

She could feel how hard he was becoming, how much she longed for him to be buried deep inside her. Looking deep into her eyes, he gently eased himself inside of her. She gasped, it had been so long since she had felt him. He began to move, gently pushing in and out of her. She moaned and grabbed fists full of sheets as he got faster, deeper and harder. She moaned his name over and over. He told her he loved her as he let his urgency take over. He wanted them to climax together. Finally they both gasped as Lucius came inside of her. He collapsed on top of her sweaty and hot body and she wrapped her warm arms around him, refusing to ever let him go.

After what seemed like hours of cuddling together, Lucius tucked a loose strand of her behind her ear and whispered "My Narcissa,".

"Hmmm," She murmured, her eyes drooping.

"I will never stop loving you," He whispered.

With that they both fell asleep in each other's arms.
