Draco came home totally exausted one night. He had taken a triple shift and hadn't slept for 36 hours and all he wanted to do was collapse onto his bed. He dropped his coat onto a chair and made his way to his room.
"Oh, my wonderful glorious bed! How I have missed thee." Draco said as he fell upon it.
"Draco? Where are you boy?" came a harsh call. Draco groaned. Couldn't they just leave him in peace? And it was his father no less. Draco groaned and got up from his bed and drug himself out to where his father stood.
"You look like shit." Was the first thing out of Lucius's mouth.
"Great to see you too." Draco replied sarcastically.
"What is the meaning of this?" his Father asked as he threw something at him. Draco caught it and realized it was a magazine with a picture of him and Ginny Weasley on the front cover.
"Why would you care? When you left Mum you left me. Why don't you go back to that slut Bridgette?" Draco snapped.
"Don't you dare insult your step-mother!" Lucius cried angrily.
"Please, she doesn't care. Ever defend Mum or me when she insults us? No? I didn't think so." Draco said smoothly.
"What is the meaning of… that?" Lucius asked again as he pointed harshly at the magazine.
"It was a date. And why would you care?" Draco asked.
"A date? Draco she is below us!" Lucius bellowed. Draco's temper flared.
"Don't you ever speak of Ginny like that again! If you don't want me to bad mouth Bridgette, don't bad Mouth Gin." Draco said angrily.
"Gin? You have pet names now?" Lucius asked.
"So what if We do?" Draco sneered. Lucius chuckled to himself.
"You love the bimbo. You pathetic fool."
"I don't have time for this. I have six hours before I have to go back to the hospital. Because you know what? I work for a living." Just as Draco turned the lights flickered. Draco froze. Just then his pager went off. Draco sprinted down the hall and into his room. Don't let it be Abby, please don't let it be Abby! It was from Ginny, it was her cell. Lucius now stood in Draco's doorway. Draco picked up his phone and dialed Ginny's number. It was really late. Ginny picked up.
"The hospital just paged me. And the lights flickered. That's happening all across Europe." Ginny said franticly.
"Abby?" Draco asked.
"Abby." Ginny confirmed.
"Shit, I'll be right there." Draco said. She clicked the phone off and turned to Lucius.
"Who's Abby?' Lucius asked with distaste.
"If you want to continue to argue then it's going to have to wait. I have more important things to do." Draco said as he moved past Lucius and into his living room. Draco stepped into the fireplace and flooed to the hospital. Ginny was waiting for him.
"I can't get a hold of the staff on the phone to see what's wrong. And the lights and power went out a few seconds ago. "This isn't good, Drake." Gin said franticly.
"Come on." Draco said. He didn't notice Lucius step out of the fireplace. Draco and Ginny ran through the hallways and up flights of stairs. When they reached the pediatrics ward the children that were mobile were peeking out of their rooms.
"Ginny! What's wrong?" a little girl named Jennie asked.
"It's alright sweetheart. Go back to bed. All of you." Ginny said gently as she raced down the halls. That's when Ginny saw it. Several nurses were trying to get Abby to settle down.
"I WANT MY CORA!" Abby screamed. A nurse ran to meet Ginny and Draco.
"We can't get her to settle down. Who's Cora?" the nurse asked.
"Who started this?" Ginny demanded.
"The new nurse. She said she was just doing what the chart said."
"That God damned nurse has been getting on my nerves all week!" Ginny shouted angrily. Lucius was a bit taken back by the girls out burst.
"GIVE IT BACK! SHE TOOK HER AWAY! IT WAS A BIRTHDAY PRESENT! GIVE IT BACK!" Abby howled.
"Abby! Sweetheart!" Ginny called as she pushed past the nurse. Draco followed after her.
"S-SHE TOOK IT! GINNY, NANA MOLLY GAVE IT TO ME! SHE TOOK IT!" Abby sobbed. Ginny rushed over and collapsed on the ground with the girl and held her. Draco walked over to them quickly and crouched down in front of Abby.
"What did she take Abs?" Draco asked gently.
"KORA, SHE TOOK HER DRACO. SHE TOOK MY DOLL!" Abby sobbed. Draco turned his head and noticed Schneider holding the doll that Molly Weasley had given to Abby. Draco stood and frowned at the nurse and snatched the doll from her.
"Here Abs." Draco said as he crouched down and handed her the doll. Abby took it eagerly and sniffed. She was still upset and the lights started to flicker on and off. They weren't in complete darkness anymore.
"Draco, hold her." Ginny said as she passed Abby onto him.
"Hey Abs, let's go and sit in your room." Draco said as he cradled the small girl.
"Lucius." Draco barked for him to follow. Draco entered the room just as Ginny blew up at Nurse Schneider. Draco walked over to Abby's rocking chair and sat down in it and rocked her. Lucius just stood in the doorway.
"Come in and shut the door. The yelling is upsetting her even more." Draco said stiffly. Lucius reluctantly stepped in a bit further and shut the door.
"Sit." Draco instructed as he pointed at Abby's art table. Abby sniffled and held her doll tighter. The lights flickered slightly at the sniffle.
"Is Ginny getting that mean old bat fired?" Abby asked hopefully.
"Abby, that isn't nice to say." Draco scolded gently as he used his foot to rock the two of them slowly.
"Well is she?" Abby asked.
"She'll try." Draco said softly.
"Good, I don't like her." Abby said.
"I know. Hush." Draco said gently. He held Abby as if she were his own. For the all world knew she was his. His and Ginny's little girl. He paused. He liked the sound of that way to much. Ginny would never return the feeling he felt for her. Abby just started to cry. She couldn't stop herself. The lights flickered on and off again. Draco stood up holding Abby and started to pace while he bounced her gently.
"Hush now, it'll be okay." Draco cooed softly to the small girl. Abby wrapped her arms around Draco's neck and placed the side of her face against his neck.
"Shhh, sweetheart. It'll be alright." Draco said. His voice was full of care and love. Abby quieted down.
"My Mummy should be doing this. My Mummy and Daddy." Abby said quietly. Draco felt a chill run down his spin.
"They don't love me you know." Abby said. Draco was at a loss for words. What could he say? What she was saying was true. Who would just leave their daughter?
"I don't have a Mummy and a Daddy anymore." Lucius just watched with a bewildered look on his face. Abby pulled back from Draco so she could she his face and he could see hers.
"But you know what I do have?" Abby asked.
"What?" Draco asked. His heart was just breaking at her words.
"I have a Ginny. And I have a Draco. And I have Nana Molly and a Grandmere Cissa. She said to call her that you know. I like it." Abby said.
"I do too." Draco said. He wondered if his own children would call her that. He got a mental picture of a little blonde girl with big brown eyes, Ginny's brown eyes.
"And I have a Papa Arthur. That's Ginny's Daddy. He loves me too. And so Does Uncle Ron and Aunt Mione. They come to see me. They have a little girl. Her name is Lexi. She's only a few months old. Aunt Mione let me hold her. And I have an Uncle Fred and an Uncle George and Aunt Angelina and Aunt Alicia. They come to visit too. And Uncle Charlie writes to me. See that stuffed Animal? The Dragon? He sent me that. And the Pink Teddy is from Uncle Harry. I don't see him very often anymore. He's always away playing Quidditch for his team. He sends pictures of all the places he goes. And Uncle Bill tells me stories about work. So, if I don't ever see my Mummy and Daddy again it won't matter. Want to know why?" Abby asked. Draco's eyes began to tear.
"Why?" Draco asked.
"Because, I have people who love me. People like you and Ginny. You'll be here for me no matter what. I have a family." Abby said. She kissed his cheek and placed her head on his shoulder.
"Breaks your heart huh?" Came a voice from the doorway. Lucius and Draco's head snapped in the direction of the door. Ginny was leaning against the doorjamb. She looked beautiful in her lavender gingham jimjam pants and her light green tank top. Her hair was pulled up into a messy bun and her feet were clad in a pair of Ugg boots.
"She told me the same thing the other day and I started to cry. Here, let me see her." Ginny said as she walked over to Draco. Draco passed Abby off to her. Ginny walked over to Abby's bed and grabbed a small pink blanket and wrapped the girl up in it and sat down in the rocker and rocked her.
"I'm taking her for the week and taking the week off. I told them that if they didn't get rid of that nurse then I would quit. She's caused enough havoc." Ginny said.
"I'll pack her a bag." Draco said.
"Thank you. What are you doing here Lucius?" Ginny asked looking up at the older man.
"It's none of your concern." Lucius sneered.
"Oh get over yourself. I don't care what you think and neither does anyone else. So do me and the rest of the world a favor and come down from that ivory tower you've been living in. You aren't the most superior race. Live with being just like everyone else." Ginny said calmly. Both Draco and Lucius were at a loss for words.
"You're going to let her talk to me like that?" Lucius finally asked his son. God I love that girl Draco thought.
"Why not? She's right." Draco said as he added clothes to the bag he had retrieved from the closet.
"So why are you here?" Ginny asked again.
"That is between my son and me." Lucius said bitterly.
"He came to yell at me about you." Draco finally said.
"Me? Why me?" Because I love you.
"He read a magazine." Draco replied.
"Correction, my wife read a magazine and pointed you out."
"Bridgette can go to hell." Draco replied.
"Draco, Abby." Ginny said as she motioned to the girl with her head.
"Sorry." Draco mumbled.
"She was intrigued that you were dating a Weasley." Lucius said.
"Well, this Weasley has a good job, lives in a nice neighborhood, is funny, is one of the nicest people I've ever met, and is my girlfriend." Draco replied. Oh how he wished the last part as true. And Ginny surprisingly was wishing it herself. She shook the thought quickly and focused on Abby, who was currently sleeping.
"She's still a Weasley, Draco. Or have you forgotten. They aren't up to our standards." Lucius said.
"Our? We never had an our. It was always what you wanted. And we stopped when you left Mum and Me for someone my age." Draco spat.
"Bridgette is your mother-"
"No! She isn't! I have a mother and she loves me. You could never do that! You can't love and that is why you are a miserable old Geezer who has nothing more to do then nag me about my love life. I will continue to date Gin. Hell, if the mood strikes me I'll marry her. I'll marry her and we'll have several redheaded children! Several of which will be girls! And we will live together and die of old age! And I will love her with all of my heart! And if it's not Gin who I marry it'll be someone else! And I will love them with all I got because that is what a husband does!" Draco cried. He meant every word. Ginny's heart ached. It ached and it shouldn't.
"And you would waste your life for that? Love? Let me tell you. Love is a mistake." Lucius spat.
"It might be a mistake but it's worth making." Draco replied. (A/n I hope you dance, I hope you dance! I hope you still feel small when you stand beside the ocean… I like that song)
"No mistake is worth making." Lucius spat.
"So I was a mistake?" Draco asked.
"What are you talking about-"
"Don't play dumb. You knocked mum up and that's why you married her. And once I was all grown and left the nest you left her. You never loved anyone. You can't. Your heart shriveled up and died the day you found out you were having me." Draco said.
"I got what I wanted out of it." Lucius replied.
"So that's what it was? A business deal? You found out I was a boy and decided an heir was worth a life time of pain. You are pathetic and this discussion is over. Gin, she's all packed. I'll escort you guys to your house." Draco said. Ginny nodded and stood. She shifted a sleeping Abby and Draco placed his hand on the small of her back and led her out. In that moment Lucius realized something. He had been hurt by his son's words but realized that what he had said was true.
