Chapter Eighteen - Coming Home To You
"She's coming home today!!" Draco said excitedly, running around the house, making sure that everything was ready for when she got back. He grabbed his car keys and ran outside, jumping into his brand new Subaru Impreza, and driving off toward the station, his smile endless.
In the shadows a figure watched him pull out of the drive and disappear at the end of the street. 'Do I go back? Do I let myself it? Do I cease to exist? Do I ruin her life again?' He thought as he stood there. 'Can I ruin his life again? After everything that was said, would he even want me back? I was very hard on him.'
It was a dark, cold night. Chrismas was barely a week away. He hadn't bought them anything. He felt bad. She sat down on the pavement outside the house and let out a long sigh. He glanced at the fence and noticed that there was atill a big gap. A gap that was Dog-Sirius' way of getting in. He had really missed this place, and he had only been gone four months.
"Hello baby!" Draco shouted, running over and picking Drucial up, swinging her round in his arms. "I have missed you so much!" He said, kissing her on the cheek and putting her back down.
"I've missed you too daddy, but you shouldn't be lifting me up in your condition, you know that!"
Draco smiled and gave her a funny look. "How long have you known about this, and what else do you know?" He said with a short laugh, grabbing her hand and leading her back to the car.
"Would you look at that... the poor little rich girl holding her daddies hand." Whispered the blonde Slytherin. Her father gave her a sturn look.
"Liddia Black, there will be no more of that. And you will not go near any member of that family. They're bad news. Every... single... one..." He said, his eyes settling on Draco. He noticed Draco's weight and a cruel smile crossed his lips.
"I got all you're favourite foods and the house elf is making your dinner and I have cleaned up your room and..."
"Daddy! I know you've missed me, but not so fast!" Drucial laughed.
I'm sorry baby, but i'm so used to you not talking, I forget that sometimes you might have something to say."
She stuck her tongue out as she got out of the car and started walking the few feet down the street to the house. She suddenly stopped so fast that Draco walked into her. "Father?" She whispered, staring at the figure sitting on the pavement.
"Hi baby... How was your first time at school?" Harry whispered with a half smile.
"Are you... are you really there?" Drucial whispered, walking forward, her hand outstreached. Her hand pressed against his cold cheek and she fell to her knees, encasing herself in her fathers embrace. "You were dead... We all though... But..."
"I here baby. I'm sorry that I was ever gone in the first place... It won't ever happen again, I promise." Harry said, reluctant to let her go.
"Yeah, like we haven't heard those words out of your mouth before." Draco said coldly, walking straight past them and into the house. "I'll put the kettle on, warm you up." He added just as coldly.
"Coming?" Drucial asked softly, breaking away from her father.
Harry shook his head sadly. "I can't baby... but I think your daddy needs some time to get used to me being around before I set foot in the house again. I'm sorry Dru... I'll be round tomorrow, maybe you could arrnge for daddy to come out for a drink with me."
"Can't drink." Drucial said sadly.
"Why not?"
"Baby." She said simply and walked into the house, refusing to show her father that he once strong, silent daughter was crying.
Harry froze. Baby? Did Draco have a baby? Was he pregnant? He watched Drucial run into the house, but he couldn't find anything to say.
A/N2: I know that it's a bit short, but I am getting really stuck with this. But from here on in there will be a lot more recongnisable characters. The upcoming chapters will see the return of Draco, Harry, Sirius, lots more Severus, Hermione, Ron, varius Weasley's and loads more! Watch this space...
