A Blended Family

"Yes, but I'm certain I can't leave the baby here by himself." Ron said. "It won't be long. He shouldn't be woke up again. He will just be fussy tomorrow." Hermione said and Ron let out a sigh. "I'll be there shortly." Ron said, hanging up the phone. "Sit. Phoenix is asleep, leave him be. I'll be back shortly." Ron said.

"You can't make me leave!" Draco fussed, crossing his arms. "Draco, I can't explain this to you right now. I need you to go home and sleep! Harry is going to be okay." Hermione said, giving him a shove. "You aren't the boss of me." Draco huffed. "But I am." Henry said. "You aren't my father, so I don't think so." Draco fussed. "You and Harry, both, are under my care because of the shit that happened to both of you. Go home, or I'll sign some paperwork and they'll put you to sleep." Henry said, before Draco felt the hand on his shoulder. "Let's go, Draco." Ron said. "unbelievable." Draco mumbled.

After Ron was certain Hermione wanted him to put Draco to bed, he did. By 'putting him to bed, was saying a sleeping spell so he would stay asleep. Ron put him into bed before he started to make some tea, his mother easing down at the dinning room table. "Now isn't the time for this mother." Ron said, letting out a sigh. "Was there something else you needed to be doing? Other then waiting on a phone call?" Molly asked. "Fine. I don't want to. You said your piece and we have a life here, now." Ron said, grabbing the tea cups and pouring some tea. "I'm not asking you two to come back, but you won't even talk to me." Molly said. "Mother, you really hurt Hermione. I understand we aren't twenty yet, but I love her. I have for some time. I'm making her my wife, and I'm doing it here." Ron said and after Molly took a drink of the tea. "I didn't mean to hurt her, Ronald. You have to understand, things have changed a lot these last couple of years. I still have trouble getting your brother to leave the house." Molly said and Ron let out a sigh. This May would be two years since his brother, Fred, was killed on the war. "I know it hasn't been easy on him, or you...but there was no reason for what you said to us, mother." Ron said. "Ron, I'm sorry. I know that doesn't change what I said, but I don't want to loose you." She said, before Phoenix started to fuss. "You won't...I'll talk to Hermione." Ron said, getting to his feet and walking into the nursery. "Shh." Ron said, picking up the teary eyed boy who was just looking for Harry. Phoenix rubbed his eye but started to cry. "Daddy will be home soon. Shh." Ron said. "Try one of Harry's shirts. Warp him up in it. One that hasn't been washed yet." Molly said and after a pause. "Here...the clothes are in the hamper." Ron said, easing the baby to her.

Phoenix was eased back down in his crib. Harry's shirt used as a blanket warped tightly around the boy and she turned on that little lullaby CD Ron pointed out. It was very softly music that Phoenix did like. Phoenix little hand held onto one of Harry's pillows that she slowly removed from the little boys hand, easing it down in the rocking chair close by, pulling one of Harry's jackets to rest on his body, before easing the lamp off. Waiting a minute, to be sure Phoenix sleep stayed deep, before exiting the room, shutting the door. "we...normally leave it open.' Ron said. "Charm the room, for tonight. It's obviously not a normal night and his sleep might be deep now, but I recommend a new shirt in a few hours. I don't think he'll sleep the night." Molly said. "He hasn't slept the night, but normally just wake ups the once. No...it isn't normal and I'm not certain what's going on with Harry. That's why Draco's asleep." Ron said, charming the nursery before going back into the living room. "I am sorry." Molly said. "I'll talk to Hermione when things claim down. It's very late and I have to try and get a few hours of sleep. Please, go home." Ron said.

It took three days before Ron took Draco and the baby back to the hospital. Harry was sitting up in the hospital bed, unhappy with the percutaneous endoscopic gastrostomy, but since he had it? He didn't feel as weak, because his body had the nutritions he needed. So, how mad could he really be? Not very.
He smiled getting handed his overly excited little boy who nuzzled to Harry. Harry also felt the last kiss on his cheek. "Ron wouldn't let me come..." Draco mumbled. "You couldn't. I just...got moved out of the ICU. Too many of my numbers were low, I'm...doing better." Harry said softly as Draco climbed up in the bed. "Okay." Draco said softly. "I....have he wasn't to much trouble." Harry said to Ron, talking about the baby. "Sleeping wasn't coming easy for the baby, but otherwise he was a good boy." Ron said, before he felt the kiss on his on cheek. "Go get some rest. The doctor is okay with them staying...For tonight." Hermione said and Ron let out a sigh. "I'm going to talk to my parents. Mum stopped by..." Ron said. "Why didn't you tell me?" Hermione asked. "Because I'm not sure yet on what I think." Ron said. "I'm going with you." Hermione said. "Can you? Are you certain it's okay to leave them?" Ron asked. "I'm certain. I'll be back later, Harry. Is the diaper bag full?" She then asked Ron. "Yes, it is." Ron replied. "Go. I'll be okay." Harry said, before the young engaged couple walked out the hospital room.
