"Seems like somebody is wanting her apple sauce." Christopher said respond to the fussy toddler, to get her put on his lap. "I gotta find that stupid high chair. They aren't ever in the same spot." Zachary said and Christopher got looked up at by the fussy girl, who got all wide eyed. She didn't know him, but he just slowly gave her head a pat. She fussed kind of, but relaxed against Christopher. Zachary found the high chair at moved it over to the table. Christopher, moved closer.

Harry couldn't really hear the conversation the two boys were having, who slowly gave Ruth some apple sauce, but Harry suppose it didn't matter. Zachary needed someone who seemed to care about him, and Christopher's nana needed a hand caring for two children in her older age. She wasn't as able body as some woman her age, and she was older for a nana in most people's eyes.

Mary came down, hold Danny on her hip. "Harry...Tommy really hurting again, make it stop..." Mary whispered. "I can get him to the doctor, but there isn't much we can do for him...Just get your brother down here." Harry said, before Mary walked into the kitchen. She put Danny on Christopher's lap, and grabbed her brother. "The other highchair!" He tried to fuss, but the twins were gone. Christopher let out a sigh, before he looked around. "It's in the corner over there. I can come sit it up, if your okay with that?" Teddy said, standing at the half wall. "Who are you? You came to get Thomas out the car." Christopher pointed out. "I did. I'm Teddy Lupin. Harry's little brother. I'll be gone in a few days, I've been keeping here until my ship ships out." Teddy said. "I...thought Harry was also in the navy?" He asked, and Teddy slowly walked over to where the highchair was kept. "He is, but on medical leave right now. His leg is badly broken and then he walked on it, getting Thomas to the hospital the first time...We won't know the damage for a couple weeks, maybe longer." Teddy pointed out, as he sat up the high chair and push Ruth's high chair closer to Christopher. "Oh, I see." Christopher replied. "Narcissa is just upstairs, so you can call her when you need her." Teddy said, walking out of the Kitchen.

Thomas was half in tears by the time Zachary and Mary got him down the stairs. Teddy picked Thomas up. "Coming kids?" Teddy asked. Mary was quick to answer, yes. For obvious reasons, Zachary didn't answer. "Go with your brother. I...got a couple giggle boxes to keep me company." Christopher said, wheeling into the living room. The twins on his lap, all full and giggly.

Narcissa sound Christopher to a room he could use, and brought the twins baby in their with him. "You like the babies?" Narcissa asked, getting a small nod. "I...liked when my sister was a baby. I liked to help my mum." He admitted, holding Danny to his stomach. A boy who was yawning. He was a sleepy baby. "Your Nana talked to me a while...Do you want to talk about anything? I know...you aren't comfortable here." Narcissa pointed out, but he shook his head. "Talking won't help, I'll be...fine, maybe." He whispered. "You're safe here, Christopher. You won't be hurt and it looks like a couple of babies wants some snuggles form you." She smiled lightly, picking Danny up off his lap. "Will...Thomas be okay? There's...a way...to stop the pains..." He whispered and Narcissa frowned. "That...is something he doesn't agree with. It's been asked and Harry can't override it, unless his life becomes a problem...it's just a lot of pain for the small boy is all." Narcissa pointed out as Christopher worked himself into the bed. "...then some do just because they don't want to be parents." He mumbled and Narcissa raised an eyebrow. "Something you want to talk about?" She asked and he let out a sigh. "My uncle and his girlfriend had like three of them, because they won't use protection...My nana was real upset. She overlooked the first one, but the second and third? So nana lost both her kids in a way...can maybe...nana come here?" He asked, as Narcissa eased to babies in the bed with him. "Your Nana doctor isn't close by, but let me talk with Harry and my husband. Maybe we can find a way to get your Nana here. Or at least next door. It's a lot calmer there and she needs her rest, would...that be okay?" She asked and he nodded. "Yeah...that would be okay...I just...she's all I got left...well...my little sister...but cc isn't somebody who took care of me...and...sometimes...Nana would be better." He mumbled and she eased to sit on the bed. "She told me about what happens sometimes. Nobody else has to know, just call for me, alright? At some point, Zachary should know, but that's up to you when you choice to tell him." Narcissa said and Christopher frowned and felt embarrassed. He couldn't believe his nana told her. "I...just don't...always feel it..." He admitted. "I know. It's okay. Really. Just call me for, okay?" She said, giving Danny a pat, who whined out. He was sleepy.

"He would freak if we moved him, wouldn't he?" Thomas frowned a few hours later. He wanted his brother to lay with him. "Yeah...but Harry is being an air bed in here, so just sit." Zachary said, easing Thomas to sit on the bed.

Christopher yawned waking up the next morning. The twins giggled, before he felt them drop back fully on the bed. "Good morning, babies." He said, getting a snuggle form the babies. Thomas let out a cry before he shot up in the air bed. A nightmare. A bad one.
