A Blended Family

43

Narcissa sat Phoenix in his high chair, after stoping by the nursery and removing the small shoes that were still on his little feet. Phoenix was eight months old and was getting very active and he was a nosey boy if nobody was paying attention to him and he thought they should. So as Narcissa started dinner. Phoenix started his little noises and hitting the small table on his high chair. It bought one of the twin girls over. The one named Trinity. She had autism too, but she was more high functioning then her sister. She was very good at numbers like her daddy, Hank, but every now and the bad a bad day. She walked over to the high chair and Phoenix giggled out and clapped his little hands. "Hey, Trinity. Tell me about school." Narcissa said. "School went okay. He's nosey today." She pointed out. "He is just wanting attention is all. He's a spoiled boy." She chuckled to herself. "Give baby then." She said and after a pause Narcissa walked over to the highchair. "You have to be careful with him. He might be bigger then Sophia, but he still just a baby." Narcissa said. "I'll be careful." She said and Narcissa removed the baby form the high chair.
Phoenix was a giggly mess when he was being carried away by his cousin.

"Are the not joining dinner?" Hermione asked when they all gathered at the table "They were still asleep, I didn't see the point in waking them up." Narcissa said. "I don't think Harry has ate in a while." Hermione said. "We'll get him set up with a feeding, soon. Don't worry." Henry said. "I have to worry, Henry." Hermione said. "Harry will be okay. It's just going to take some time. Now, why is Phoenix in a dress?" Henry asked. "The twins dressed him up. They don't really seem to understand the big deal of him needing boy clothes, but for this moment, I told them it could stay on. " Narcissa said. "Girls, Phoenix is a boy. We are going to show you the dresser to get the clothes form, okay?" Henry said. "He got his clothes all dirty, unlock." Trinity frowned. "I know, but he had his own clothes to be changed into." Henry said and she slowly nodded.

Narcissa and Henry cleaned up after dinner, so Hermione and Ron took the twins girls to the bedroom and sat the baby on the bed. "I don't see why it matters." She frowned. "Because Phoenix is a little boy and boys don't put dresses on, Trinity. I know it seems silly, but it is important. You can still dress him up, but it's not going to be in dresses, okay?" Ron said. "Auntie won't let us with Sophia. She can put dresses on." Trinity fussed. "Sophia is still a little baby. Phoenix is getting bigger and wants to play, Sophia isn't like that yet." Ron said. "She needs to grow up then." Trinity said. "She will, but it takes time. Come on, let's get the baby ready for bed, alright." Ron said and let the two girls help him get Phoenix ready for bed.

Harry slowly come out the bedroom, but wasn't at all feeling very good. So the walk was slow. The house was mostly quiet, as the triplets and the twins had been laid down for the night. A very pregnant Bellatrix already in the bed and Narcissa was trying to get Phoenix to sleep, but Phoenix was being a fussy boy. He had been to long without his snuggles form Harry. Harry yawned pushing opened the nursery door. "Give me." He said. "I didn't think you'd wake up." Narcissa said, but carried Phoenix. Who was quick to nuzzled to Harry's neck who gave the baby boy a big pat on his back. "I...can't really sleep anymore." Harry said slowly waking into the nursery.
Harry eased in the rocking chair and settled Phoenix into his arms, Phoenix looked up at his daddy, who pushed the pacifier into his mouth and get the blanket tucked around him.  "Do you think you can try and eat something?" Narcissa asked, standing at the doorway. "No, I can't. However, in the morning, please." Harry said softly. "very well, Harry. Yell, if you need something." Narcissa said and Harry gave her a nod. Harry watched his little boy slowly go to sleep and sat rocking up until the door was pushed opened. Ron stood there. "Hey...Hermione and I are the last awake." Ron said. "I can't sleep anymore and I don't want to wake Draco." Harry said softly, slowly getting to his feet and eased Phoenix down in the crib. "Understood, but at least come get on her laptop or something?" Ron asked and Harry let out a sigh. They felt the need to babysit him when he had a bad day. "Very well." Harry replied.

Harry played the laptop for a couple hours into the night, but he started to feel sick again. So he shut the laptop and eased back into the office chair he sat in. Harry? Ended up slowly climbing into the bed. It put Hermione in the middle, and Harry kept to the very end of the bed to take up very little room. Harry went to sleep, but woke both of them up in a coughing fit. After his inhaler and coughing up some of that green stuff he does when he is getting sick, he settled back into the bed, half asleep. Hermione eased her hand on his forehead. "At least he didn't have a temperature." She said softly. "Come on, let's lay back down. He'll right here and you should get some rest." Ron said. "I'm fine, Ron. Just overthinking some things is all." Hermione said softly, but the eased back in the bed. "I know, and I'm sorry for that." Ron said. "It isn't your fault, Ron." Hermione said to him. "You father disliked me, very much, and I am sorry for that." Ron said softly. "You have nothing to be sorry for, Ron." She said. "I can help but think so, Hermione. I know your parents have helped out with Harry and his teeth and she sees Phoenix, but that doesn't make up for her being so hateful about us getting married." Ron said and Hermione let out a sigh. "I know and I am sorry they are behaving in such manor." Hermione whisperd. "I won't let it bother me." Ron say, placing a light kiss on her lips. "I love you, Hermione." He said. "I love you too." She said.
