Regression

Remus slowly took a seat back in the recliner, with Peter in his arm. Peter was sucking on a binky, nuzzled in a blanket. "I have noticed she looks much different then when she stood by Lucius Malfoy, but nobody knows anything about her. She hide her secondary life." Remus said. "What option did she really have, Remus?" Harry asked and he let out a sigh. "I see your point. Nobody is ever going to know that story. In a day or so, I'm going to come get Peter and his sister, until that girl is back home." Remus said and Harry let out a sigh. "That...could be a while. She got sick and her lungs are struggling to keep up. Hermione isn't even sure how she lived all these years, let alone had her children." Harry said. "I see." Remus said, looking down at little Peter. "Still, I'll enjoy my time with them." He then said.

It's been a month since then, and Hermione's half sister was just getting back to her feet. So, taking Peter back home? Didn't go as planned. Peter for so upset and wouldn't stop crying for either one of his parents. She ended back over their that night, and the couple welcomed them into their home. Remus went to calm the baby and Siruis handed Lily a cup of tea. "Why don't you stay? Remus and I...are unable to have our own children, and the option of other options are low. This last month meant a lot to him." Siruis Black said. "My parents have paid the rent for the rest of the year...and we have a lot of stuff...and I can't bother you with my troubles." She whispered. "I can pay them the money back, if they feel upset about it. We have planty of room and you aren't trouble. You would be helping us with our troubles." Siruis said. "Lily, you just got home and you know it's going to be a while before you feel better. The more you can rest the easier it will be, I know you know this." Her young husband said and she let out a sigh. "I'll...talk to my father soon, but... I'd like to lay down." She said. "Of course. Get some rest." Siruis said.

Narcissa stood at the stove back at the house, making dinner when The hurried footsteps came hurrying down the stairs. George was without his shirt, because the young man had been sleeping, and was in some sleep wear when he turned into the kitchen and throw opened the window. Narcissa put the lid on the pot she was cooking and turned to face him. He was running a shakey hand through his hair. "Do you want me to call your mum?" Narcissa asked, but he just kept quiet staring out the open window. "George." Narcissa said softly. "...Fine...um fine." He half mumbled. "It's not that late, George. She'll come over. It's been a few days." She said softly. "...I'm fine...Just...A dream." He whispered, shutting the window. "Danni still asleep then?" Narcissa asked. "Yeah...Allen woke up a lot... yesterday so we crashed...after work." He said, getting a glass and turning on the sink. "Harry told me the baby was up a lot. Does he seem sick?" She asked. "No, no... just, I'm not sure. He's fine, healthy...Just not sleeping the best at night...doesn't with mum either." He said, filling up his glass with water and taking a drink. "He'll start sleeping through the night soon enough. Dinner will be ready shortly. You two should eat." Narcissa said. "Yeah, I'll wake her. Draco's napping too. Harry's...i didn't see." George said. "Them too, thank you, George." Narcissa said.

The dinner table was full, Narcissa, Allen, Danni, Draco, Harry, Holly, Star, Phoenix, Sue and George gather around the table for dinner. Little Allen in the cot close by. Star? Still had her troubles being around everybody because she was so used to hiding in her own home, so Holly often kept her company when she tried to hide. So the two girls had became close friends, and they were sisters, but their relationship was building quickly. Allen was thankful. Star was such a sweet girl who went through to much.
Draco mind state was back to feeling  back to himself, but close to Harry. He really didn't want leave Harry, at all. His dependence was strong for Harry. Harry didn't mind, Draco even liked going to the library with them, but it worried Allen. Allen just wanted to help his children and Draco was always so hard to fix because of the shit that man put both Narcissa and Draco thought.

"How's Remus and Sirius?" Allen thought to ask after he was brought out of his train of thought. "Well. Lily agreed to move in with them. Hermione is thankful, and her fathers are too. She only moved out because of her own pride." Harry said. "She's nineteen. How much pride can a girl have that has spent most of her life, sick?" George asked. "She wanted to prove she could handle her child. She's starting to get past the, no help thing. So of it is she can't kept up. If she doesn't slow down, she'll drain the magic that's been helping her keep alive." Harry pointed out. "I see." George replied. "Either way. Remus seemed to greatly enjoy him time with those kids." Narcissa said softly. "He did, yes. So Siruis is thankful she agreed. It sloves a lot of problems." Harry pointed out. "Is staying with her parents not an option?" Allen asked. "It is, but she wouldn't have the help, because he works mostly overnight because of the bars." Harry said. "That would make it difficult, yes. Holly, your homeroom teacher called me today." He frowned. "She started it!" Holly fussed out. "I don't care! You could end up suspended." Allen said. "I didn't touch her." Holly fussed, and crossed her arms. "We get to spend the morning in the headmasters office." Allen said. "Your going to see she's need to be missing teeth! She's a rude girl!" Holly fussed. "Holly!" Narcissa said. Holly just huffed, and pushed her plate away.

Narcissa opened the door to the room Holly and Star had been sharing. The two girls sat on the bed, almost getting ready for bed. "Star, go help danni with the dishes, please." Narcissa said. "Okay, mama." Star said.

Narcissa picked up the hair brush and eased on the bed beside her daughter, who slowly turned. Her mama who was getting very big with her growing belly, could brush her hair. "What happened at school, Holly?" Narcissa asked. "Doesn't matter. Somehow, I'll be the one punished." Holly said. "I can talk to your daddy, but you have to tell me what happened, Holly." Narcissa said. "She's just a bully and I had enough...She started on me again this morning and I didn't just sit there and take it. So she got angry. I spat back and some how, the teacher only hears me." Holly said. "I'll talk to your daddy, sweetie." Narcissa said. "I like the name, Theodore, for him." Holly said. "I guess, Zoe told you and your daddy the gender?" Narcissa asked. "He knows you still feel some kind of way, but it's silly. Star is my sister, and Theodore is my brother." Holly said. "I wish it was as simple as that, I really do, but I do like the name Theodore too." Narcissa said softly. "It's easier then your making it, mama. I know that man hurt you, and brother, but Daddy? Doesn't care the details, mama. It's his baby, it's my brother. That's what matters." Holly said, feeling a kiss to the back of her head. "Your daddy is a very good man. I promise I will talk to your father, tonight, and we will talk to the school, tomorrow. Don't worry." Narcissa said. "Okay. Star, is...still afraid of daddy. How do I make that better?" She asked. "Only time, but I will also talk to Star. You should finish getting ready for bed." Narcissa said. Holly turned and held onto her mom for a very long time for a big hug.

Narcissa stood in the bathroom. She was just out of a shower and slipped on one of her old winter dresses. Other then her stomach, so was thinner, so the sleeves were loose and it it was a touch longer, but the light blue dressed outline her 24 week pregnant belly. One she often didn't think back. Little sue was happy to not be the baby of their family anymore. Phoenix was ready for a brother. Holly was already calling him her baby brother. It was time the broken woman embrace the pregnancy, the best she could anyway. After all, the baby was getting more active inside her. Making it harder to forget. That time was over, so, she finished getting ready for bed, in her dress.

She was hanging up that jacket of Allen's when he came into the bedroom. "Was the wash?" He sounded a bit surprised. "I had it clean, yeah. That box with my sweaters, were did it go to?" Narcissa asked. "The basement, you can keep my jacket Nass." Allen said. "I...don't need it...not for that reason at least. Was...you going to tell me?" Narcissa asked. "I'm having trouble convincing you otherwise, I thought it would make it easier if you didn't know what it was. Holly, told you, didn't she?" Allen asked. "She did...but, it's time... I'm sorry...it's been so difficult." Narcissa said softly. Allen just walked over to her and planted a light kiss on her lips. "I love you, Narcissa. I know things haven't been simple, but I will always find my way back to that spot. With your and our son." Allen said. "Was Theodore your name?" Narcissa asked. "No, but I don't mind. Whatever name, Nass." Allen said, giving her another light kiss, before he pulled the woman to bed for the evening.
