They hurried into the hospital once they for their, Draco holding Eddie for the two of them running ahead. Worried about their mom. Draco understood. Lily was having problem after problem with her pregnancy. A lot of it had to do with her age, 43. Closer to 44 then 43. Harry was worried when she was pregnant with Eddie and had even more reason to worry this time around.
Draco caught up with them, but a nurse would only allow them to be seated in the waiting room. "She's our mother!" Harry fussed. "I'm aware she's a mother, Mr. Potter. However, your father is already with her. Somebody will speak to you shortly." She said, before pointing to a door.

Eddie was looking around, starting to fuss. His daddy was gone. He didn't want his brothers. He wanted his daddy and his daddy wasn't coming back for him. That was making him an upset baby boy. Remus, who was often helping with the kids, picked him up and found the diaper bag. He laid the blanket down before he laid the baby down, handing Eddie a small toy to play with. Remus changed and cleaned him, before He made Eddie a bottle. Eddie laid on the blanket drinking the bottle and Remus pulled out his new phone, Remus hit a button on his phone and after a beep. "Play Eddie's playlist." Remus said, before some lullaby song started to play and he laid the phone by the baby's head.
After Eddie finished his bottle, he rubbed his eyes and Remus picked him back up. The baby was burped and soon asleep on Remus shoulder before he slowly laid the boy back down and covered him up with a small baby blanket.

"Remus, you are very good with Eddie. You should really talk to the girl you like." Harry said and he shrugged his shoulders. "I'm not that worried right now. I'll just help mum out for now." Remus said, easing back down to sit next to Harry.
It wasn't much long after, a girl with long strawberry blonde hair and darker then then skin shown up along side her very dark father. "Remus, can you brother take me home later?" She said, giving them all a surprise and they turned around. "Riley, how did you find out?" Remus asked. "My mum's a doctor her. She told me your ma was admit, and you guys were here." She said. "Harry?" Remus asked. "Yeah, I'll get you home. If it gets to late, I'll take you home. I doubt we are leaving before we know anything." Harry said. "Just call. Your step brother is coming over." Her father said. "Why?" She fussed. "I'll get it deal with, just call me." He said, before walking off.

Riley joined the small group of them in the seats. "You didn't have to come, Riley." Remus said and she smiled lightly. "I wanted to." She said, and they started to have a quiet conversation. Harry let them be until Riley got up to get something to drink form the cafeteria, Harry followed.
"Hey, can I talk to you?" Harry said, half way down the hallway. "Sure." She replied and Harry walked beside her soon. "What do you think of Remus, Riley?" He asked. "Your asking if I like him?" Riley asked. "I am." Harry asked. "I do, but...He doesn't seem to like me like that." Riley said and Harry stopped their movements, putting his hands in his pockets. "Sometime most people don't realize is Remus is blind, he often feels inadequate. He feels like people see him differently. It takes him longer sure, to learn things, but he is fully able to care for himself, and others, very well." Harry said. "I...didn't even realize that." She said, but continue walking. Harry frowned when she went quiet, and let out a sigh. Remus was likely going to be very upset with him for telling.
Riley order enough drinks for everyone before returning back to the waiting room. She sat the cup holder down. "Remus, come talk to me would you?" She asked and after a pause he got to his feet. She walked them outside. "Remus...you have no idea what I look like, do you?" She asked and Remus frowned. "He told you, didn't he?" Remus said. "Why didn't you?" She asked. "Like you don't understand why I don't just broadcast it. Harry can take you home." Remus said. Riley knew he was upset and when he went to turn away, she grabbed his hand. "Is that...the only reason you haven't asked me out?" She asked kind of softly. After a pause. "Yeah...Even if you are okay with it. Your father might not be." Remus said. "I can handle my daddy, Remus." She said. "Once things with my ma close down...Maybe...We could go out and do something." Remus said. "I'd like that." She smiled, placing a light kiss on his cheek.

A couple hours later, once Remus and Riley got back to the waiting room. Little Eddie woke up and started to fuss. Remus was quick to grab the sleepy boy. "Now I know you had a long nap, buddy." He said. "Are you wanting pa?" Harry asked, but Eddie just fuss out. "Come on then buddy, let's go find pa." Remus said and Riley's followed him and Eddie out. Eddie rested on his hip, half crying to himself. "Let's go to my mom, She can find out. It's been hours." She pointed out. "Okay." Remus said who then followed Riley.

"Riley, you really aren't suppose to be up here." Said a very pale older woman, her hair also strawberry blonde. "It's been hours and Eddie won't stop fussing." Riley said. "Nobody came to speak to you yet?" She frowned. "No, the nurse wouldn't tell us anything either." Remus said, before she turned to her computer, and typed a few things in. "Well, I can see why they haven't allowed you guys in, early, but she's doing better now." She said.
