Scorpius watched his mother with great intent, trying to ignore the great ache in his little heart as he did so.

He watched her as she moved around the room, her tiny arms almost as small as his as they engulfed him in the tightest and most loving embrace. Oh, how he loved his mummy, how she smelt so wonderful, like the flowers in his grandma's garden, how her laughter made him smile his biggest smile and how her warmth made him feel safer than he'd ever felt before.

He knew something was wrong... knew that something bad was going to happen. But he couldn't and wouldn't accept it was going to happen. If he could just watch her: made sure she ate, made sure she drank, and made sure she breathed, then he just knew that she would not leave him. 

She would be his mummy and he would be her Scorpy.

Forever and always.
