"Rodolphus: I need to sleep. Can you get Sirius, please?"
"Orion: Of course." He heads out to find Sirius.
Sirius enters, concern etched on his face. He gently helps Rodolphus stand and guides him to the bed, ensuring he's comfortable before climbing in beside him.
"Sirius: You'll be okay, Rodolphus."
"Rodolphus: I'm just overwhelmed, I guess."
"Sirius: You're allowed to be. You've got me, Regulus, and Lucius to help you. Don't think for a second that I'd leave you. Besides, you're like a mom to us."
"Rodolphus: My kids I never had."
"Sirius: Exactly." He kisses Rodolphus' forehead. "Lucius will be our dad soon, won't he?"
"Rodolphus: What?"
Lucius enters, looking worried.
"Lucius: Rodolphus, my father told me what happened. Are you okay?"
"Rodolphus: I am now."
"Regulus: Mom, are you alright?" Regulus enters the room.
"Rodolphus: I'm fine, just need a cuddle."
They all climb into bed, surrounding Rodolphus with warmth and support.
"Sirius: So, Mom, when are you and Dad getting together?"
Rodolphus blushes and playfully swats Sirius on the head. "Sirius Black!"
Lucius blinks in surprise, then turns to Rodolphus. He shrugs, a small smile playing on his lips, and kisses Rodolphus deeply.
Rodolphus is momentarily in shock, then kisses back. "Lucius, when did…?"
"Lucius: I've always known I love you."

"Rodolphus: Help me up, please." He pleads to Regulus and Sirius, huffing and struggling to get up.
Regulus and Sirius each take a hand, gently pulling him to his feet.
"Sirius: Where do you need to go?"
"Rodolphus: Bathroom." He sighs, waddling slowly to the bathroom. After finishing, he sees Lucius waiting for him outside. "Hi."
Lucius takes his hand, concern in his eyes. "Are you okay? Reg said you were upset."
"Rodolphus: Just a bit overwhelmed, but I'm better now."
Lucius kisses Rodolphus' forehead. "I'm here for you, always."
