Astoria's POV: Scorpius is three and gets hurt

I wake up with a sigh keeping my eyes closed as I reach out with my hand to feel Draco's side of the bed is empty and suddenly feel the bed dip at my feet knowing that small form anywhere. I quickly tug the sheet up to hide the smile on my face and stay as still as possible as my son starts to crawl up the bed.

"Roar!" I exclaim as I spring up at him and grin as he squeals with laughter falling back on the bed on his bottom.

"Mama, you scare me!" Scorpius says his "R's" sounding more like "W's" and stands up to waddle into my open arms.

"I scared you, huh?" I ask and hug him close to my chest kissing his messy blonde hair as I sit back against the headboard. "How long have you been up, my little prince?"

"Dunno." He mutters cuddling into me as he holds his favorite stuffed dragon toy and I look up to see Draco leaning on the doorway of our bedroom.

"He's been awake about thirty minutes and I've been fighting him off you the entire time." He says with a chuckle and pushes off the door to come join us on the bed ruffling Scorpius' hair. "He always wants his Mama."

"He wants you a lot too, love" I say and scoot down in the bed to lay back beside my husband turning my head to look at him. "Are you going to the shop today?"

"Yeah, Liz is still on her honeymoon so someone has to run the shop." Draco groans out as Scorpius crawls on to his chest and squeals when his daddy starts to tickle him lifting him up into the air. "But I won't go until we have breakfast."

"Good." I say and smooth Scorp's hair back smiling at him as he sits on his daddy's chest. "What should we have for breakfast?"

"Pancakes!" He answers just as he does every morning making Draco groan and shake his head.

"Do you ever want anything else, little man?" He asks and I lean my head on his shoulder watching my son in his green pajamas covered in golden snitches.

"How about we make some blueberry pancakes with bacon?" I ask picking up his brown dragon and make it tickle him as he falls my arms. "That way Scales can eat some meat and Daddy can have eggs."

"Okay, Mama." Scorp mutters and cuddles into me as Draco takes the dragon toy tossing it up in the air to catch it a few times. "Daddy, that mine!"

"Yours, eh?" He asks as Scorpius stands up between us and jumps up to try to catch it giggling as he misses it every time. "It was Mama's first."

"He was Mama's?" The toddler asks and falls down on his knees between us.

"Yup." Draco replies popping the "P" at the end of the word and looks at me with a smile that makes me see him as the young fifteen year old teenager he was when he won me the stuffed toy. "It was years ago and Mama and I went to a Magical carnival and I won her Scales by catching a snitch."

"Went to? More like we snuck out to go because our parents thought it was too beneath us to go on a date like that." I say with a chuckle and reach around Scorpius to rest my hand on Draco's arm smiling at the memories.

"It was one of my favorite dates." He says and raises my hand to kiss my knuckles.

"Mine too, love." I mumble squeezing his hand and sit up as Scorp quickly snatches his dragon from beside Draco with a laugh.

"Got him!" He cheers excitedly and bounces on his knees gasping as Draco starts to wrestle with him playfully. "Daddy!"

I chuckle as Draco tosses it up in the air again and grabs his wand from the nightstand levitating the toy just above the boy's reach before making it fly across the room to the couch that sits in the bay window area of our room.

"Fetch." My husband mutters and Scorpius slides down of the bed running over to the couch.

"Dray, he isn't a dog!" I exclaim with a frown slapping his thigh as I start to get up to grab my robe to slip it on and bend down to open my arms up to the boy. "Come here, my little prince. Daddy isn't playing nice, is he?"

"No, he is not." He mutters pouting cutely as I scoop him up in my arms and kiss his head with a sigh.

"I'll show you not nice." Draco whispers in my ear and I feel his arm snake around my waist as I feel him press up against my back.

"My Mama!" Scorpius says and wraps his arms around my neck pushing his daddy back as he hugs me tightly.

"She's mine too, bud." Draco says as he tugs me closer to him and presses a kiss to my cheek making me lean into him. "She was mine first."

"I'm both of yours, my loves." I affirm to the both of them and kiss each of their cheeks as rub the toddler's back. "Now, let's go downstairs to make some breakfast."

"I'll be down in a moment, darling." My husband says kissing my cheek and I nod as he lets my waist go to head into the bathroom knowing he's getting ready for the day.

I shift Scorp to one of my hips and head out of the room starting down the stairs to walk through the living room and into the kitchen. I put him down on island countertop across from the stove taking out my wand from my robe pocket to summon all the things that we'll need for breakfast and watch as Scorpius giggles as the things fly out from all different directions. I smile and kiss his forehead letting him help me measure the amount of flour we'll need to dump it into a large mixing bowl. I crack in the eggs and chuckle as he grabs the carton of fresh blueberries opening it up to pop one in his mouth. I hand him the tablespoon measuring spoon over the bowl as I pour the vanilla in it and he dumps it in grabbing the wooden spoon after all the ingredients are added to start mixing it all together. I turn my head to see Poppy nearby after hearing the pop of apparition and Scorpius smiles.

"Poppy!" He exclaims happily and eats another blueberry.

"Good morning, Master Scorpius." The house elf says with a smile and looks up at me with big brown eyes looking around the kitchen. "Is there anything you need or I can fix you, Mistress?"

"If you could start the coffee for us that would be lovely." I say and turn to heat the stove with a jab of my wand grabbing a ladle from a drawer to scoop the batter from the bowl as I place it by the stove.

"Yes, Mistress." Poppy says with a bow and snaps her tiny fingers to get the French pressed style coffee started before setting out the mugs. "Anything else, Mistress?"

"Scorpy, why don't you help Poppy set the table?" I ask turning to the boy still sitting on the counter and I put him on the floor when he nods.

I smile as they work together and the young boy babbles happily about the nonsense his toddler mind finds interesting as the House Elf listens intently. I get out another pan to start frying up some bacon and flip the two small pancakes I made for Scorpius. I push my hair back and suddenly feel the strong arms of my husband come around my waist feeling his nose nuzzle the skin of my neck. I giggle softly as he moves my hair to the opposite side of my neck and a shiver runs down my spine at the feel of his lips on the spot just under my ear. I bite my lip flipping a few strips of bacon and lean back into him with a sigh.

"Seems like Scorp's feeling better today." Draco mutters against my skin before pulling back to pour himself some coffee and I turn my head to look at the boy, who two days ago hardly wanted to eat due to him gaining two new molar teeth in his mouth.

"That potion of yours helped him the most." I say and place the cooked bacon on a plate to the side before getting out the yogurt from the fridge.

"I rubbed some on his gums when he got up to keep him from hurting." He says and I nod pushing my hair back.

"Good, I'll give him more around lunch if he needs it." I say and look over at my boy still talking to Poppy happily. "Bring me your plate, little prince."

"Here, Mama." He says holding his plate up to me and I place the two pancakes on it with a big dollop of yogurt beside them.

"You can tear it up and eat with your hands today." I say and watch as he carries the plate back to the table climbing in his seat.

"Here you go, love." I hear Draco say and turn my head to see him placing a mug beside the stove with a smile.

"Thank you, darling." I reply as he opens the fridge to grab the milk out adding some to my coffee before moving around me to pour some in Scorpius' cup on the table and kisses his head.

I smile and take a sip of my coffee making a couple more pancakes as I collect the bacon on a platter. "How do you want your eggs, love?"

"Fried, please." Draco answers and comes toward me with our plates that were on the table putting them on the island behind me as he leans against it. "If you want, I could bring home dinner tonight."

"From where?" I ask cracking three eggs into the same pan I used for the bacon and flip the pancakes with my wand.

"Fish and chips from The Leaky Cauldron? Or if you're in the mood for something nicer, there's always our favorite place." He suggests and I turn slightly to look at him in his navy suit watching as he sips his coffee.

"Scorp does love the chicken alfredo." I say and reach for one of the plates behind him placing two large pancakes on it with a couple pieces of bacon followed by two fried eggs to hand it to him.

"Thank you, love." He says stepping forward to kiss my cheek and grabs the yogurt to put some on his pancakes as he stands at the end of the island to eat. "Do you want me to get a whole big serving of the Alfredo?"

"I don't mind cooking before I leave, Draco." I answer and grab my plate to serve myself standing to the side of him as I eat.

"I know you don't mind but it limits your time with us." He replies as he looks at me and I sigh knowing he's right about when I work the nightshifts three days a week, it strains the nightly routine we have with Scorpius especially if I worry too much about cooking myself.

"Alright, just see if you can get shrimp in it too." I say and sip my coffee as I lean against the counter sighing.

"And a salad too." He adds cutting his last bite in half and I kiss his cheek as I walk past him to walk over to join Scorpius at the table.

"Daddy, there's Lynx!" The young boy says and points out the windows to our light grey and white owl flying up and down outside.

"Ah, thank you bud." Draco says as he walks by us placing his coffee mug on the table and lets in the bird. "I sent him out earlier with a letter and to get our mail."

I cut into a pancake and cross my legs watching as the owl lands on the table with a package and a beak full of mail to drop. I hand Scorp a part of my strip of bacon to feed the bird as a treat and smile as he stands on his chair to stroke the feathers on the animal's chest. I sit back as Draco pushes the Daily Prophet towards me picking up the other envelopes that he knows deal with work and picks up the box on to look at it.

"Looks like your cousin has sent Scorpius a gift." He says and Scorp turns his attention from the owl to his dad bouncing in the chair.

"I gots mail?" He asks excitedly and pulls his hand back when the owl nips at his finger annoyed that he's being ignored now. "Ow!"

"Let me see, baby." I say quickly and stand to move around him shooing back the bird as I take Scorpius' hand to see a small red mark on his finger. "Oh, you're okay…"

"I think opening this will help." Draco says standing across the table with the package and uses his wand to cut the tape across the top of box.

"Yeah!" The boy cheers and watches in anticipation as his father opens the gift.

"Claire said John had this made after their team won their last Quidditch match." Draco reads from a card he pulled out from the box and puts it down to lift a light blue and white vertical stripped jersey from the box a well-known French team's name and logo on the front. "Oh look at the back, bud!"

I laugh as he turns the jersey around to show that they had Malfoy put on the shirt with Draco's old Slytherin team number underneath and Scorpius reaches for it.

"Is that my name, Mama?" He asks with a big grin on his face and Draco hands it over the table to me.

"It says Malfoy, so yes." I answer and hold the shirt up to his body seeing it'll be a bit big for his small frame.

"Can I put it on?" He asks looking at me with same eyes that his father has and I nod unable to tell him no when he's so excited.

I wipe off his mouth and hands before slipping the miniature jersey over his pajama shirt. "Look at my little Quidditch player!"

"I be a Seeker just like Daddy!" The boy says excitedly and bounces happily.

"Speaking of which, they sent a Snitch." Draco says holding out a golden ball and comes around the table to flatten his palm as Scorp watches its tiny wings come out. "When I get home, we'll play with it."

"I want to now, Daddy." The boy says and I stroke his hair when I see him pout at his father.

"Daddy has to go to the shop today, my little prince but I'll play with you." I coo in effort to keep him from getting too upset and he turns to lean into me sighing softly.

"You and Mama will have tons of fun and when I get home I'll take you on a real flight, okay?" Draco says and kisses his son's head as he nods looking at me sadly.

"Go get your shoes on, baby. We'll play in the garden." I tell Scorpius putting him on the floor and hear his little feet running through the living room before he slows down on the stairs.

"Now, I just feel bad…" Draco mutters with a deep sigh and quickly plucks the Snitch from the air between us looking at it.

"Don't, love." I say and stack my plate on top of Scorpius's carrying them with one hand to the sink taking the last swig of milk from the glass in my other hand. "You have your responsibilities and the shop is one of them."

"Scorpy is one of them too, Tor." He says and comes over with our coffee mugs.

"Yes, I know but I think he understands the difference in playtime and worktime." I say and turn to look at him raising my hand to stroke his cheek. "On your next day off, we'll have a family day."

"You really are the best." He says pressing a kiss to my forehead and I raise up on my toes to kiss his cheek.

"I know." I reply with a smirk and turn to clean up the kitchen with a flick of my wand laughing as he kisses my cheek. "Get out of here, my dragon."

"I love you." He mutters against my skin and I follow him out of the kitchen to watch as he kneels down to Scorpius at the bottom of the stairs to hug him before turning to toss me the Snitch. "Have fun playing, loves."

"We will." I say catching it and lean down as Scorp comes to me to pick him up.

"Bye, Daddy." He says as Draco steps into the emerald flames in the fireplace and I kiss his head hugging him close.

"Alright, now Mama needs to go change and then we will go out to the garden." I say and put him down on the floor kneeling down to him.

"Can I hold the Snitch?" He asks and looks at the small ball in my hand reaching for it but I hold it tight while I look at him seriously.

"Do not let it go until I come back out and watch you." I tell him and he nods closing his hand around it tightly before turning to run towards the doors that lead to the back garden. "Don't go past the fountain, Scorpius."

"Okay, Mama!" He shouts as he goes outside and I see Poppy leaving the playroom to look outside.

"Poppy will watch him, Mistress." The elf says and I nod knowing she will not let anything happen to the boy.

I head upstairs slipping my robe off to lay it across the bed as I walk toward the bathroom and change into a pair of comfortable knit pants I wear on lazy days at home with a simple long sleeved shirt glad that there are a couple more weeks of warmer autumn days before the winter weather finally sets in. I run a brush through my hair before pulling it back in a ponytail knowing full well that my little boy will keep me active and find a pair of tennis shoes. I slip my wedding ring on before I grab my wand from the pocket of my robe and pick up the book from my nightstand on the way out of the bedroom. I walk downstairs and out the back doors to place my book down on a table we use sometimes to eat at if the weather is nice making note that we could have lunch out here today. I spot Scorpius with his miniature broom that Draco insisted we get him for his birthday and watch as if in slow motion as he mounts the broom dropping the Snitch, which flies up in the air and he kicks off the ground. I gasp as the normally low flying broom takes off arching up into the air and Scorp lets go of the broom handle to reach for the Snitch falling to the stone path around the fountain with a cry.

"Scorpius!" I shout and run forward to land on my knees beside him carefully laying my hand on his back as he lays on the ground in a heap. "Let Mama move you, baby."

He whimpers as I slowly turn him over resting my hand behind his head and frown seeing a bad scrape just under the outside corner of left eye. I stroke his hair back to comfort him as he cries and gasp seeing his wrist is not only starting to swell but is bent at an odd angle. I quickly use my wand to scan his arm seeing that a small bone in his wrist is broken and quickly mutter the spell to heal the injury but know it will be terribly sore for a few days. I use my wand to scan over the rest of his body to see that there are no other broken bones or any other very painful injuries and carefully stand him up as he still sobs.

"Shhh, my little prince…" I murmur taking him in my arms and he buries his face in my neck as I get to my feet feeling his little body shake. "Mama's here, my love."

I rub his back as I carry him back inside and carefully lean his head back to see the scrape on his cheekbone is bleeding some. I murmur sweet words in his ear in an effort to try to calm him walking up the stairs to take him into my bathroom and sit him down on the counter by the sink. I frown as I notice that there is dirt smudged all along the left side of his body from where he landed on the ground and his right hand grips the front of my shirt. I press a kiss to his forehead rubbing his arm that isn't hurt and stay close in front of him as I get out a wash cloth to run under the tap.

"This might sting but it'll be okay, baby." I say in a gentle tone and push some of his hair back shushing his cries of protests as I gingerly clean up the scrape on his cheek. "Let's get you out of these dirty clothes, buddy."

I carefully remove the Quidditch jersey from his body easing it down his left arm so I don't jar his wrist and stop when he gasps as I remove his pajama shirt.

"M-Mama!" He cries out still shaking a bit as I press the cloth to his face and leans forward into my chest. "It hurts…"

"What hurts the most? Your face or your wrist?" I ask and kiss his head watching as he holds up his still slightly swollen wrist that is now an awful red color. "Poppy!"

I rub Scorpius' back and look up in the mirror at the house elf as she Apparates behind me. "I need you to get me an ice pack from the kitchen, a phial of the Murtlap Essence and a pain potion from Draco's office, and a roll of bandages from my bag, please."

"Right away, Mistress." The house elf squeaks disappearing again and I help Scorp take off his pajama bottoms that I notice have a rip in the knee where he has another scrape that isn't so bad.

"My poor baby is all beat up today…" I mutter and look at him as he sniffs looking down at his lap with a sad sigh. "But Mama is going to make you all better and then you and I will have lazy cuddle day, okay?"

I give him a sad smile as he looks up at me with a nod and I press a kiss his head turning to Poppy when she returns with all the things I asked for.

"Okay, we're going to take some pain potion first and then we'll use the Murtlap on your scrapes." I say taking the two phials from the house elf and look at Scorpius, who is staring at the blue potion of Murtlap with scared looking eyes. "Oh baby, this will make your scrapes feel all better and then I'll put some salve on it that will make it all go away."

"But that one taste funny, Mama." He says using his uninjured hand to point to the red pain potion and then sticks his first two fingers of the same hand in his mouth to suck on them like he does whenever he is really upset or distressed.

"How about Poppy goes to get Master Scorpius a glass of pumpkin juice?" The house elf says and looks up at me as she still stands beside me.

"That's a very good idea, Poppy." I reply and nod smiling as she Disapparates with a pop.

I use the cloth I had earlier to clean the scrape on his knee and turn when Poppy returns with a glass of my son's favorite juice. I reach for the glass beside Draco's sink he uses for mouthwash and clean it with a simple spell before pouring in enough of the red liquid to cover the bottom of the glass. I help Scorpius drink it down and hand him the pumpkin juice to watch him jug most of the drink. I kiss his head and carefully lift his injured wrist wrapping it in the bandages and place the ice pack under the last layer so we don't have to hold it. I pick up the phial of Murtlap Essence squeezing the stopper on top to fill it up and a few drops of the blue potion on each of his scrapes. I shush his whimpers of protest and know that the potion stings before finally clotting the blood and scarring over.

"They feel better, Mama." Scorpius says and looks up at me as I close the phials of potions before picking him up to put him on my hip.

"I'm glad, baby." I murmur pressing a kiss to his head as I take him with me to my side of the bed and sit him down on the sheets him only in his underwear. He sucks on his two fingers again as I get out a silver star container of Star Grass Salve from the drawer in my nightstand and flip the top open. I smear some of the green tinted salve over his scrapes and hear him sigh just like Draco and I do when we use the same paste to soothe our scars when the occasionally ache. I quickly step into the bathroom to wash my hands and cut off a short piece of bandage to place over his knee before picking him up again.

"Now, let's go get you dressed and find Scales." I say and hug him close to me when he snuggles against my chest as we head to his room.

"I want Daddy, Mama…" He mutters and leans his forehead against my neck sighing.

"I know you do, my little prince but he's at the shop." I say as we enter his bedroom and kneel down to place him on the soft carpeted floor before walking over to his dresser to open his pajama drawer. "Which ones, baby?"

"Dragons to match Scales." He mumbles speaking around his fingers and I turn to kneel down in front of him once I find his blue pajamas we got him recently that has dragons all along the pants and a big one on the front of the matching shirt that's a bit big on him.

"How about we read your favorite story?" I ask and help him get dressed careful with his wrist kissing his cheek.

"Babbitty Rabbitty?" He asks looking at me as he sucks on his fingers and turns toward his dark grey toddler bed to grab Scales from it. "Mama, are we having a pajama day?"

"I'd say we are, baby." I say and get up from the floor to walk over to his built-in bookshelf that sit on either side of his window seat. "Do you want to go sit in the library and have a snack while I read?"

"I want a banana." He says as my hand finds The Tales of Beedle the Bard out of the night habit of getting out this exact book to read to him every night and I nod.

"With peanut butter?" I ask and walk toward him to offer him my free hand leading him out of the blue, grey, dragon and Quidditch themed room.

"Yes, please." He answers as we head downstairs and I hand him the book kissing his head gently. "Go curl up on the couch and I'll go make us a snack."

I watch him as he enters the library that doubles as Draco's office and sigh remembering how last week I found him hiding under the large mahogany desk with his beloved stuffed dragon and a few other toys. I smile at the memory making my way to the kitchen to get a couple of bananas and scoop out some peanut butter to spread on each slice adding a couple of chocolate chips on each one for a special treat for Scorp. I use my wand to vanish the banana peels and spread them around a plate grabbing a glass from the cupboard. I quickly get out a tray to put the plate on and pour a glass of pumpkin juice for him and use magic to heat up the kettle to make myself a cup of tea. I carry the tray with me as I walk through to the library and find Scorpius in the corner of the couch hugging his dragon close to him with a sad look on his face.

"What's wrong, baby? Are you hurting?" I ask and place the tray down on the coffee table sitting down beside him as he shakes his head. "Come on, my little prince…I can't help you if you don't talk to me."

"I wanted to play Quidditch all day…" He mumbled with a pout and hugs dragon tighter staring into the fire in the grate across from us that is still blazing from Poppy's usual morning chore of starting the fires in the main rooms we use. "Daddy will be mad I lost the Snitch."

"No, he won't baby…I'll talk to him." I say carefully pulling him into my lap and cuddle him close as I press a kiss to his head. "Ready to read Babbitty Rabbitty?"

I smile as he nods and leans forward to grab a slice of the banana I brought us to pop it in his mouth before settling back against my chest. I grab the book from beside us and open it up to the right page holding it open to let him see the pictures on the pages as I start to read. I smile as he laughs at the funny voices I use and we share the banana slices cuddling together most of the day especially since he won't let me get very far for very long.

I stir awake feeling a hand on my shoulder and turn my head to see Draco standing above me as I lay on the couch with Scorp a look of concern on his face. I press a finger to my lips to signal for him to stay quiet and slowly sit up careful not to disturb the napping toddler who looks very peaceful at this moment. I lay the blanket that we had over us over his body once I get up and stroke the hair back out of his face seeing that the scrape on his cheek is just a small red mark now. I turn as Draco takes my hand and let him lead me out of the library where we stayed most of the day. I glance at the clock on the mantle in the living room to see that it is just after five in the evening and push my hair back with a yawn.

"What happened?" Draco asks gaining my attention again and I sigh tiredly.

"I went upstairs to change and let him have the Snitch to hold and when I came back down to find him outside with his broom. He got on but accidently let the Snitch go and when he kicked off to try to get it, the broom went too high and he fell on the path by the fountain breaking a bone in his wrist." I explain and cross my arms rubbing my arms as I look up to my husband. "I healed it as fast as I could but he's been really clingy all day and I sent in a letter to work to take off tonight."

"I knew I should've told you to charm it to fly slower and lower down." He replies with a deep sigh and rubs his forehead shaking his head. "Was the broken wrist the only injury he had?"

"Just a couple of scrapes." I answer and step closer to wrap my arms around his waist hugging him close. "I used some of your Murtlap Essence on those and been giving him some pain potion every few hours, which is almost empty."

"I'll make us more." He says and kisses my head hugging me close to him. "I'm so glad you were here with him instead of me."

"You would've done fine with him, my love." I say rubbing his sides as I lean into his chest and close my eyes.

"I brought home dinner." He says and tucks a strand of my hair behind my ear as I lean back to look at him smiling softly.

"Good, I'm starving" I mutter raising up on my toes to kiss his cheek and take his hand to pull him with me to the kitchen where the big sack of to go food sits on the island countertop. "How was the shop today?"

"Busy. I had a bunch of students preparing their potion kits for school." He answers and helps me unpack the containers of food opening one that happens to a big salad. "Should I go wake Scorp?"

"No, hopefully he'll wake soon." I say and get out a bottle of vinaigrette dressing from the fridge as Draco gets out two plates placing the on the counter. "He's had a rough day and needs rest."

"So, he didn't even get to play today?" He asks serving us some salad on each of the plates and gets out two forks.

"No, not really. He just wanted to sit with me and cuddle listening to me read or color, which was hard because he had to use his other hand." I answer with a sigh and serve us some of the fettucine Alfredo placing the grilled chicken and shrimp on top. "He was pretty upset that he lost the Snitch and didn't want you to be angry with him."

"I don't care a thing about the Snitch when my boy is hurt." Draco says and looks at me sighing as he steps around the counter to grab a bottle of red wine from a rack next to the door of the pantry.

"I know, darling." I say and toss him a bottle opener from a drawer in the island.

"So, why would he be worried about me being upset over a silly ball?" He asks as he gets out two glasses pouring us each one and hands me the stemless glass.

"He's just a boy who wants to make you proud." I answer and shrug my shoulders taking a sip of the wine. "He adores you and I'm sure it was because he was upset with himself for letting go of the ball after I told him not to."

"Yeah, I'm sure you're right." He says and takes a bite of the pasta leaning against the counter. "So, other than the incident how was your day?"

"Well, he didn't let me get very far all day so we read a lot and he listened to the wireless while I worked a bit on a few cases to send in with the letter telling them I needed the night off." I answer and twirl some pasta on my fork with a bite of shrimp.

"Did you take off because he's hurt?" He asks sipping some wine and eats a bite.

"That and I think he needs us both tonight." I say and add some dressing to my salad turning my head when hear the pitter patter of little feet behind us.

"Mama…" The toddler says his voice still sleepy sounding and I turn fully around to see him rubbing his eyes with his uninjured hand.

"Hi, baby." I say and kneel down to him as he walks over to me falling into my arms.

"Hey, bud." Draco says as I stand up with him in my arms putting him on my hip and lean on the counter. "Mama told me what happened."

"Are you mad?" Scorpius asks and sticks his two fingers in his mouth looking at the older man with the same eyes he has.

"No, little man." My husband mutters stepping toward us to kiss his head and I smile as I realize just how much Draco loves our son.
