Exhaustion ran through him, it was a weight. It was heavy. He felt heavy. He was overwhelmed, work was chaotic. Being a death eater turned regular citizen meant a lot of proving himself. He was willing to do it and do it forever, did not change the fact that it was exhausting.

All day, the only thing getting him through the day, was coming home to you. To you, and your two kiddos. Draco had a rush of emotions when he first found at you were pregnant with your first. A lot of "what ifs" went through his mind. Most of them you were quick to silence and bring clarity too. Others he had to just see as time went on and life as well.

He opened the front door, setting his jacket not the hanger. He kicked off his shoes and put his keys in the little dish by the front door. Sighing he enjoyed the smell of home, he didn't really know how to describe it, it just smelled like home.

He heard the tv going, raising an eyebrow in confusion. You never let the two stay up late, especially when they had school the next day. Not only was the tv on but it was on cartoons. He peaked around the corner to the living room area to see his three reasons, asleep on the couch intertwined with one another.

Your son is asleep with his body in between your legs as you lay horizontal on the couch, while your daughter is asleep on your chest. How you were possibly asleep in the position you were in was a mystery. It looks rather uncomfortable and Draco was thankful for buying the obnoxiously large couch. One, you made fun of him for all the time.

He took a moment just to take in the imagery in front of him. He would never have guessed he would have the privilege of living this life when he was in school making one bad decision after the next. He had no right to end up with you, an angel in human form. Let alone have to angel (most of the time) children with you. He was so thankful.

He walked over to the couch and gently grabbed the remote to turn off the tv. He kissed your forehead, before grabbing your daughter. She immediately curled her body into his wrapping her arms around his neck as he walked her to her bedroom. He gently laid her into her bed, pulling the covers over her. He kissed her forehead and heard a mumbled , "daddy" from her. He smiled down, " hi, my princess, I saw you gotta watch cartoons with mommy" she nodded sleepily smiling. " i'll see you in the morning," he whispered, kissing her forehead one more time. Hearing a "I love you daddy" as he walked out of the bedroom.

He walked into the living room once again, this time grabbing your son. Your son, much like your daughter wrapped his arms around Draco and allowed him to carry him to his room. He had woken up on the walk and whispered, " why are you home late". Draco sighed, saddened that his son would care enough to ask that, not wanting to hurt him or disappoint him in any way. " I had to work, but I promise this Saturday we are all going to be together. Spending the day together, you, me, sister, and mommy. Deal" your son yawned. Sleep was hitting him once again but he sleepily nodded. Draco set him into his bed and moved the covers around him, making him comfortable. " I love you '' Draco whispered as gently moved your son's hair out of his face and kissed his forehead. " I love you" a mumbled, sleepy, voice said. Draco could hear his deep sleep breathing before he even was out of the door.

As he walked back in the living room, you were now sitting up, rubbing your eyes. You stood up as you saw him walk through the doorway into the living room.

" Cartoons" he said teasingly as he walked over to you. He wrapped his arms around you allowing you to press yourself into him. Into what felt like home.

"One of those nights" you mumbled into his chest. Draco frowned, annoyed at himself for not being here when you needed him.

" I'm sorry" you heard come out of his mouth and you looked up to see him frowning.

"I'm not. I love our life and I love you. One night didn't change that"

Draco didn't know how you did it, but you always knew exactly what to say.

" Bed time" he asked as he quickly kissed you.

You smiled and nodded.

"Bed time"
