Chapter 24-Another Malfoy is Born

Song Used: Echo by Trapt

Well, life here at Malfoy manor has gotten a little strained. Mum was still mad at Dad for attacking my date and Scorpius was still no closer to forgiving Al. Rose also has been avoiding him since she realized Al is the father. It's sad to think that Al and I are the cause of Rose's and Scorp's problems. So now Scorpius has sunk into depression and is moping around the manor.

Great and Dad is in quite a bit of trouble with mum after that whole fiasco at dinner yesterday. He slept in the other guest bedroom last night because Mum was so angry she didn't let him sleep in their bed together. That has never happened before. And it worried me. I'm sure it worried Scorpius but he's too busy wallowing in depression. Even mum's not her usually cheery self. I think I should talk to both mum and dad. I won't have their divorce on my hands. Besides, I love my family and I won't have it wrecked.

"Mum, are you still miffed with Dad?" I asked, as she peeled the potatoes manually. This meant she was mad. Frick.

"No Sweetheart. I am merely appalled at his behavior. How could he just embarrass you like that? I think he just needs time to think about what he's done" she said, concentrating on the potatoes.

"But Mum, Dad was just spazzing because he doesn't know who the father of my baby is. Please just cut him some slack" I said, as she dropped the peeled potatoes into a pot of boiling water.

"I'll talk to your father when he apologizes to Sean and you" Mum said, knowing that Dad was just coming down the stairs. He just walked past in his Law Wizard robes and left the house. Well fuck, what the bloody hell am I going to do now? Dad's too proud to apologize and Mum is more stubborn than she would like to admit.

"Mum you can't let Dad just walk away like that. You know how he is, go talk to him" I whined, looking at her.

"No Allisha now just go do something productive. Go practice on the piano" Mum said, pointing to the music room. And then a liquid splash down from between her legs. "G-Go get your father Alli!" Mum spluttered.

"Dad!" I screamed, making him run back inside. "Scorpius! Mum's having the baby now!!" I screamed, and he rushed down the stairs. Mum and Dad flooed to St. Mungos and Scorpius and I went in after them.

"Allison, it's all going to be fine. We've been through this twice already. Calm down Love. I'm sorry, I'm so sorry" Dad said, kissing her as the Healers helped her into one of the rooms. So now Scorpius and I were waiting nervously in the waiting room.

"Scorpius, when are you going to forgive him? This is dumb, you're ruining two of the best relationships you'll probably ever have" I said, making him look up at me.

"I just can't Alli. He got you pregnant and you two kept it from me. Now Rose is pissed at both of us because we both didn't tell her what was going on. I can't even look at him, I just keep thinking about the two of you. I just can't" Scorpius said, frowning.

"Hello Allisha, what are you doing here?" Ewan said, walking in with a chart in his hands. "You're not due for another couple of weeks" he said, running his hand through his light brown hair.

"Well, Mum just went into labor so we're here waiting for her and Dad" Scorpius said, looking up at Ewan.

"Ah well, looks like she's who I'm taking care of today. I'll have Jack or Elizabeth give you regular updates" he said, before walking into the room where my mum's screams could be heard. Oh God, I was getting more nervous about giving birth by the second. Now that I was mere weeks away, I wasn't so sure. I mean, what if the baby did end up with Al's eyes. Dad knew and hated those eyes. He would recognize the green and the shape in a second.

"Why do you want me to forgive him Alli?" Scorpius asked, while I contemplated my doom.

"Because up until Teddy's wedding, he was your bestfriend and if you don't stop being a stubborn hippogriff's arse, you'll lose the greatest friend you'll ever have and the love of your life" I said, making him recoil as if I'd slapped him. This meant that he was obviously taking what I said, very seriously. Maybe he would forgive Al soon. At least, I hoped he would.

"Well, I guess you're right Alli. I have to forgive him, he did tell Rose that he'd help you out with the baby. That used to confuse me. I guess I was in denial because I didn't want to see it. Deep down, I guess I knew because you both were acting strange and disappearing around the same times" Scorpius said, making me smile. Oh thank Merlin, he'll not be his own ruin.

I had to tell Dad soon. Or just wait until the baby was born. Fuck, mum was being so loud. I could hear dad encouraging her. Hopefully they were headed for reconciliation. After another hour of mum's screams, Jack walked out and told us that she was still not fully dilated. He walked back in and after another hour, after a window shattering scream and a baby's cry, Jack and Elizabeth told us to come in and meet the newest member of the Malfoy family.

I couldn't believe it. Scorpius couldn't believe it. We went into the room where mum and dad were waiting with their new baby. Mum looked sweaty and exhausted and dad looked happy and proud, holding the baby in his arms. I could see a tuft of light brown hair poking out of the cap and smiled as Scorpius wrapped his arm around me.

"Meet your new baby brother Mason" Dad said, as we walked closer. He too had inherited Dad's grey eyes and aristocratic features. But, the shapes of his eyes were Mum's. He seemed to have gotten a bit of dark hair from Mum while the Blonde of Dad's made it softer and lighter.

"Oh Dad, he's perfect" Scorpius said, smiling. I smiled too, we have a baby brother named Mason and he was so perfect. I agreed, the little baby staring up at us was absolutely perfect.

"Allisha, I am so sorry I ruined your date for you. I really am, I'm a father for Merlin's sake. You have to cut your old man some slack" he said, making mum giggle.

"I forgive you Daddy" I said, smiling.

"So do I. But, you still have to apologize to Sean" Mum said, as Dad gave her little Mason and kissed her lips.

"I will" he said, even though we knew he wasn't, it didn't matter. Because another Malfoy was born and we couldn't be happier.
