Regression

Chapter Fourteen

Narcissa slowly slipped into bed, beside Allen. Who laid on his back asleep. She wasn't going to be able to go back to asleep. She tried, for half an hour before she slowly sat up, and gave Allen a light kiss. He smiled lightly and yawned, not really opening his eyes. "You okay?" He mumbled. "Go...talk to Sirius, I can't." She mumbled, and was climbing off the bed when Allen opened his eyes and sat up. "Nass." Allen grabbed her wrist, to stop her form leaving. "Please...Talk to Sirius." Narcissa whispered, but eased down to sit back down on the bed. "Nass...what's wrong?" Allen asked, easing to sit beside her on the bed. "Please..." She whispered, getting a light kiss to her cheek. "Nass, look at me." Allen said softly, but she kept looking down in her lap. Allen just slipped off the bed, and got before her. He seen she'd been crying, or wanted it. It both looked the same with the pale woman. He picked her hand up, and he give it a kiss. "I have an idea. I know you very well, Narcissa. Your eating habits changed again. You'll fall asleep if you lay down. Your irrational choice with Draco." He said softly and she let out a cry. "I...couldn't...I couldn't ask...you to do it again. I thought about just dropping Danny off all those years ago...I should have...she'd been safe with you. You wouldn't have been stuck picking up the pieces of somebody who isn't worth it." Allen just shook his head. "Narcissa, stop thinking such things. I love you. I always will. It doesn't change because somebody thought he had some wealthy claim on you. Nothing he done is going to change how I feel about you." Allen said, slowly standing up, and pulled Narcissa to stand. "Draco is no different then the others, Narcissa. An adopted child would be no different." He added. "It is... different." She whispered, and he just shook his head. "It's no different. I wanted a big family. I want a big family." Narcissa nodded lightly. "I... remember. I feel a little bad, we didn't have more..." Narcissa rested against him, and he locked his arms tightly around her. "The time just wasn't right. We might be middle aged, but your body is healthy enough to support it. Maybe another after, if I feel you don't feel some kind of way." Allen said. "I...don't mean to." She mumbled and Allen kissed her head. "I know, I know. Now, undo whatever it is you did, Nass." Allen said, and got slowly pulled into the bathroom were Narcissa kept her wand.
"Can...your mom...do that baby picture?" Narcissa asked, laying her wand on the sink. "Yeah, in a couple days. Let her rest...Plus I've had to much of the woman." Allen answered and pulled Narcissa close to him. The once hidden baby bump, shown and was pushed against his body. "Fair enough." Narcissa whispered, locking her arms around him tightly. "Sorry." She half mumbled, half cried. "Hush. Let's lay down." Allen said.

Draco gave Harry a big shake to wake him up when Draco woke up that morning. Harry's eyes shot open and let out a big breath. "Goodness." Harry said looking up at Draco. Draco still had that childlike glow. "Daddy's got breakfast going. Come, Lego time!" Draco said happily and Harry Grabbed his glasses. "Alright, what are you building today?" Harry asked. "I'm not sure! I want a pancake though, hurry!" Draco said, pulling at his wrist. "I'm coming, I'm coming." Harry whined, letting Draco pull him down the stairs.

Draco sat at the coffee table, a dry pancake in his hand, while working on his lego with the other. "Dad, wants wrong with brother?" Phoenix asked. "I'll explain it to you later. Just finish your breakfast, alright?" Allen replied and he let out a sigh. "Where's Danny?" He then asked. "She was still asleep when we exited the bedroom." Harry said. "She was up late last night. I think you should call that...muggle healer? I don't think it's major, but she is awfully close to her due date." Sirius pointed out. "I'll call her doctor, see if he can't get her in for a checkup." Allen said and Sirius nodded, letting out a yawn. "Go to bed, Pads. Remus will be asleep most of the day and the potion won't be ready until tonight." Harry said and he shrugged his shoulder. "Eh, sleeping doesn't come easy in new places." Sirius whispered. "Wake him and take him with you, duh." Harry said. "It's fine, you both should rest." Allen said and after another yawn, Sirius agreed.

"I don't want to go." Fussed Danny. "Sissy, see doctor." Whined Draco, who was standing on his toes trying to finish the top of a tower. "Draco! That's too high! Your siblings will just knock it over and you'll fuss!" He pointed out. "Daddy!" Draco whined. "Draco, no. It's too high!" He said and Draco let out another whined, but slowly started to take some Legos off. "Dad." Danny started. "No, you need a check up. Your doctor even agrees, so get dress." He said and she whined herself before going up the stairs. "Molly said she could take some of the kids?" Harry suggested. "I rather them come here if they want to help. I want my kids, and my wife, close to me." He said and after a moment, Harry nodded. "I'm sure they'll come here." Harry said and he nodded. "That would be better, yes. Draco put the ones up that aren't being used. Your coming with me." He said. "Daddy, I wasn't finished." He whined. "Draco!" He said and Draco let out a huff. "Harry goes wif." Draco said. "Draco, at least say it right." He said and after a moment, Draco repeated himself. 'Harry goes wif." He whined and Allen let's out a sigh. "Let's go."
