12 Years Later

"WAKE UP! WE NEED TO GO! NOW NOW NOW!"

Rose and Scorpius woke up with a jolt and sat up, completely disheveled. Then, realizing who was screaming, they both groaned and fell back down, their eyes closed, hoping to fall back asleep. Until Scorpius felt someone tugging on his arm and calling him multiple times.

"Your son's calling you." Rose groaned, her eyes still closed. 

"Before sunrise he's your son." Scorpius responded and Rose smiled at the reference although she pretended to continue to be asleep. 

"Dad!" 

"Alright, alright. I'm up." Scorpius sat up and looked down at a still fake-asleep Rose, shaking his head. He looked at his son. He looked like such a perfect replica of them, it almost scared him. He sighed and said, "What time is it?"

"I'm hungry."

"I'll make pancakes. Do me a favour and wake your mum up, would you?" He winked and sauntered off into the bathroom and then to the kitchen, only to hear a scream come from his room. But he was well accustomed to the scream Rose gave when Charles fell on her. Especially when she wasn't expecting it. Two minutes later, a very excited Charles bounded out of the room, towards Scorpius, followed by a very tired Rose. 

Scorpius served the pancakes and Rose began making coffee while Charles lathered his pancakes, very generously, in maple syrup.

"Careful. If you have too much sugar, you'll be too active." Rose said, looking at Charles with an amused smile.

"There is no such thing as 'too active'. Auntie Lily told me." He said, proudly and took an enormous bite of pancake. Rose sighed, still not used to Lily being called "Auntie Lily" after all these years. She sensed Scorpius come up behind her and instinctively leaned back, against him. He said, "You look exhausted."

"And you look pale."

"You really need more sleep."

"Who needs sleep when you've got caffeine?"

"...you."

"Shush. I'll be fine. I'm used to exhaustion, remember?"

"You need a break."

"A break from what? Earning an income? I don't think so."

"Rose... you know they'll happily give you a break in a heartbeat."

"I'm fine, Scor. You worry too much."

"And you don't call me Scor."

"Mum?" Charles piped up from behind the counter. Rose looked up and said,

"Yeah?"

"Can I have a chocolate frog?"

"No. You've had enough sugar for one morning." She said and his face fell.

"But—-"

"You can take some on the train with you. Share them with Emily and Kris." She said in a softer tone.
