Chapter 5
*I've got it all, but I feel so deprived
I go up, I come down and I'm emptier inside
Tell me what is this thing that I feel like I'm missing
And why can't I let it go
Draco rubbed his tired eyes as he heard Tegan whisper to Warren. Draco looked up at her remembering how she had neglected his help from last night. For some reason he felt helpless, she didnt even give him a chance to understand her. Tegan looked over at him and smiled slightly as she continued rocking Warren in her arms. Draco looked away from her when he heard the baby start to cough. Tegan's eyes filled with worry, she didnt want the baby to get sick now. She noticed that the baby had coughed up some mucus. She looked at Draco with worried eyes as he got up and walked over to her.
" Is he ok?" Draco asked as Tegan only shrugged.
" He should be OK. It's not like we've been neglecting him. Maybe it's one of the symptoms. Can you get the piece of parchment from my bag and write it down while I clean him up?" Tegan asked as Draco only nodded. He walked over to her bag and opened it. He looked through the bag seeing her journal. Draco fought the urge to read through the journal and continued looking for the piece of parchment. He found it at the bottom of her bag and closed her bag up. He wrote down the symptoms quickly and then slipped the parchment back into the bag not wanting to get another glimpse at her journal. He couldn't help but feel curious considering that she would tell him nothing. All he wanted to do was help, why did she have to be so difficult? He saw Tegan picked up Warren again and saw that he was already cleaned up and put in new clothes.
" Maybe we should go to the library today to see if we could find anything on the sickness he has" Tegan suggested as Draco gave her a confused look. What was she thinking, they had classes today. Draco thought of what day it was in his head and suddenly realized it wasn't Friday.
" Yeah we can do that" He said feeling sort of stupid for not knowing it was Sunday.
" Ok. Go get dressed then" Tegan said smiling as Draco looked down at his boxers.
" Right. I think I'll do that" He said and grinned as he took a change of clothes and walked into the bathroom. Tegan took this time to put some of Warrens necessities in her bag knowing they would be in the library for a while. She closed up her bag as Draco came out of the bathroom. He slipped on his robe and grabbed her bag from her. Tegan looked at him curiously with a smirk on her face but dismissed it.
" Did you want to stop at the great hall for something to eat or just wait for lunch? Lunch will be getting served in an hour" Tegan said as they stepped out of the room.
" We could just wait for lunch" Draco said as Tegan nodded and they made there way to the library in silence. Warren started clapping his hands again and smiling as the pictures made faces at him. Tegan just smiled along with the happy baby and walked a few steps behind Draco. Draco slowed down a little and caught her smiling. He watched as her eyes sparkled with happiness and how perfect her lips looked while smiling. Draco dismissed the thoughts from his head and continued walking on. He glanced back a few more times before they made it to the library and Tegan didnt notice. She was too happy enjoying how happy the baby was in her arms. They picked a table in the corner and sat down. Tegan placed Warren on the table so he was sitting towards her. Tegan placed her hands over the babies eyes and pulled them away quickly.
" Peek A Boo" Tegan said as Warren laughed. Draco noticed Warren having a struggle breathing and when the baby caught her breath he was wheezing. Tegan looked at Draco worriedly and Draco wrote it down.
" I think I know what it is" Tegan said as she handed Warren to Draco and walked up to Madame Princes desk. Draco watched as Tegan walked with the librarian and then looked down at Warren. The baby looked up and smiled as he pulled a lock of Draco's hair. Draco sneered a little as the baby laughed and he got his lock of hair from Warren's grip. Draco sniffed the air a little and scrunched his nose up from the bad odor. He immediately picked the baby up off of him and held Warren away from his body. He walked over to Tegan who was looking through a pile of books and watched as she laughed.
" Change him please Tegan" Draco said still holding the baby out.
" Draco, I'm looking for Warren's sickness. You change him" Tegan said as she flashed him a smile and Draco felt his heart stop. He began to breath again once he realized the task that laid before him. He mumbled some words under his breath as he walked away from Tegan going back over towards the table. Draco laid Warren down on the table as he reached for the bag. He took out a diaper and some wipes and looked at the baby before him. He started to take Warren's diaper off as Warren started to kick and smile. Draco looked down at Warren and held the babies legs as he took the diaper from under him. Draco almost gaged as the smell of poop drifted through the air. He felt a few other students eyes on him also but only ignored them. He wiped Warren's little butt just as he saw a fountain of pee come from Warren. He shot backwards not wanting to get a shower of pee. When Warren stopped Draco moved forward slowly and put the diaper over him incase he decided to that again. Draco cleaned the babies butt just as Tegan came back with a few books. She smiled at him again and Draco felt his heart stopped once again. He just stared at her for a second, he had never seen her in the light that he was looking at her right now. Something was just different. He could not believe he did not realize her beauty before. Tegan gave him a concerned look and Draco snapped out of it.
" Sorry" He said as he put Warren's diaper on correctly and snapped the little outfit together.
" I think I found what it is. I'm pretty sure this is it" Tegan said opening a book and pointing to the sickness.
" Cystic Fibrosis? I never heard of that" Draco said as Tegan only nodded.
" It's not as big as cancer but it is horrible disease. It blocks up a persons lungs with mucus and it makes it hard for them too breath. Also it says that it's hard for a baby too put on weight after its 4th week of birth. The other symptoms are a seaweed - green colored poop and a wheezing cough." Tegan said as she looked down at the baby. She ran her hands over the babies cheek and sighed.
" Well, this was easier then I thought it would be. But how did you know..." Draco said but was cut of.
" It's none of your business how I knew OK Draco" She said with a tint of anger hanging in the air. Draco just backed off the subject as he sat down still holding Warren.
" When should we write the report?" Draco asked as Tegan shrugged.
" I don't know. We have a little over 3 weeks left. So maybe we should start next weekend?" Tegan asked as Draco only nodded.
" That's fine" Draco said as they sat there in silence. Draco watched as Tegan's eyes change from a misty blue color to a clear blue. He sat there for a few seconds until Tegan caught his gaze. Draco looked away feeling a slight blush rush to his cheeks and ignored it. Tegan looked to Warren and a frown came upon her face. Why did god give babies and sicknesses?
" Did you want to go to lunch?" Tegan asked as Draco looked towards her again.
" I'm not hungry actually. But you and Warren can go" Draco said as Tegan only nodded. She took Warren from Draco and was about to pick up her bag when Draco did.
" I'll take it back so you don't have too carry it" Draco said as Tegan smiled.
" Thanks Draco. I'll meet you back in the room ok" Tegan said as Draco watched Tegan walk out of the library with Warren. Draco patted Tegan's bag and smiled. He would have all the answers about Tegan he needed now.
