Regulus' pov

Start of Christmas Holiday

I turned over in our bed at Grimmauld Place, I noticed Violet passed out. Laying flat on her stomach, her hair sprawled out behind her face. The comforter rests on her lower back, her bare back has stray hairs sticking to her. My eyes trail up her back and back towards her face, her mouth is slightly parted, her hand rests gentle on the pillow, near her face. I lean over slowly to not wake her. I plant soft kisses on her temple and cheek. She reaches her hand out to reach me, I hold her hand.

I watch as her eyes flutter open, squinting due to the sun shining in. "Good Morning, beautiful." I whisper, pulling her flush against my side. "Mhm, good morning, love." She mumbles softly. I traced the outline of her face, gently pushing the stray hairs off of her face. "You know, the kids come home for holiday today." I explain softly, she nods and her eyes flutter shut. "Well, Sirius, Remus and Dora are going to pick them up soon." I add, she opens her eyes and furrows her brows.

"Dora? How come she is going? I thought she was busy being and Aruor." She mutters, scooting closer to me. I cup her cheek and rub my thumb under her eye. "No, and well someone has to make sure Roscoe doesn't run." I laugh, she rolls her eyes and places a gentle kiss on my lips. "Do you want to shower, love. You haven't taken a good one in a few days." I try to push her to care for herself. "If this is your way of telling me I smell, it's terrible." She laughed.

"I just want you to care for yourself." I explain, following her out of bed. "I know, and I'm going." She groans walking to her closet. I hand her one of my black button up shirts and fish out matching green undergarments and shorts. "Here, and yes it is perfectly appropriate for you to wear this around family. It's shorts and a shirt. Go shower you smell." I smirk kissing her lips and smacking her ass. She walks into the bathroom and turns the shower on. I gather black fitted trousers and a green turtle neck shirt along with black briefs.

A few minutes go by and she sticks her head out from the bathroom door. "Reg, I-I can't. Can you shower with me?" She mumbles, her voice breaking. I grab my clothes and walk into our large bathroom. I turn the shower warmer and begin to strip. She sits on the counter staring down into her lap as she fiddles with her hands. "Love, for better or worse." I remind her, she smiles softly and nods. "For better or worse." She repeated. I helped her into the shower and joined in behind her.

I angled her under the water, she shut her eyes close as I began to wash her body carefully. I made sure to clean her completely, she washed all the soap off of her before handing me her shampoo. I lathered the shampoo through her long brown hair, which is normally silk smooth, but her lack of care has made it rather dry. I scrubbed her scalp gently and allowed the water to rise out her shampoo. Moving on to her conditioner, she reminded me to let it sit for a few minutes. This gave me time to wash my body and hair. I rinsed the conditioner out of her hair and ringed it out.

I stepped out of the shower, wrapping a towel around myself first before wrapping her hair with one and wrapping her body in one. I cupped her face as she tucked the towel in. "Merlin Violet, you are bloody gorgeous." I muttered against her lips. "Stop talking like that." She laughed, I pulled back and frowned. "If you keep talking like that, we won't be ready to greet our kids." She smirked before walking to her clothes. She slipped her underwear and bra on before dropping the towel. "Bloody tease." I whisper, earning her laughter being muffled by my shirt. She placed my button up on her and slid her black shorts on as well.

I offered her my hand as we walked down stairs, her hair was brushed out, she left it wet. "MOM!" Grace shouted running in from the fireplace. She jumps into her mom's arms and they fall back onto the couch. "I missed you mom!" She exclaimed, kissing her cheek. "I missed you too, darling." Violet smiled, kissing her forehead. "MOM!" Draco and Harry shout pushing each other to get to Violet first. Violet stood up and was again tackled down to the couch by her boys. "AH! Boys! I miss you but you both are extremely heavy together." She laughed, they kissed her cheek and helped her up.
