I Spy (Drarry Fanfic)

Chapter 13

The following morning, as Draco and I sit at the kitchen table, there's a knock on the door. I look to Draco and state "That'll be Hermione."

With that, I walk to the door and let her, Ron, Scropio, and Lucius in. I give them a warm smile as Lucius asks "Is Draco up?"

Draco rolls into the living room and asks "Father, what are you doing here?"

Lucius gives him a proud smile and declares "Checking on you, of course!"

Draco takes in a deep breath and states "I'm fine. Harry got me through the night, and now I'm beginning to feel at home."

Lucius looks to me and asks "What were his discharge instructions?"

I take in a deep breath and state "Physical therapy three times a week, promote ambulation, fluids, rest, and therapy."

He gives a short nod, before looking back to Draco "I need a word with Harry, but we'll be right back."

Draco gives a confused look before asking "About?"

I give a warm smile and lie "Just planning Christmas. Don't worry about it."

He gives a short nod, before looking up to Hermione "When did Scropio eat last?"

As we walk into the nursery, Hermione tells him "5am."

Once I close the door, I turn to Lucius and ask "Have you got it?"

He hands over the small black box and asks "When are you planning on doing this?"

I furrow my brow as I turn to Scropio's cupboard "When the time comes." As I stuff it into a box on the top shelf, I explain "I want him to fully acclimate back to us, before I do it."

He nods "Smart." As I turn back around, he clears his throat and looks down "I have a question to ask, but it's rather uncomfortable to ask."

I clear my throat and ask "What?

He looks up to me awkwardly "Have you two... have you done anything, since..."

I sigh, before declaring "No." he gives a confused look and I point out "Medically, we're good to go, but, I'm waiting on him to make the first move." I give a sad shrug "I can't pretend to know what he went through. I'll never understand. And, I'm willing to wait for him for the rest of my life." I give a sweetened smile "I want him to be happy and healthy. And, I just, I love him far too much to lose him again."

He gives me a warm smile, before telling me "We knew he was gay." I give a confused look and he explains "His mother and I, we knew he was gay, even as a child. We had a ring made for him. It was our hope to give it to his future husband, together, when we knew he was the one." He gives me a proud look "I do believe that ring is in the right hands."

I give a soft smile, before sighing "Well, I hope he sees it the same."

He gives me a scoff, before declaring "If he doesn't, I'll talk him into it."

I hum, before he declares "For Christmas, I'm getting him an XBOX."

I sigh, before declaring "I was going to get him that."

As Draco rocks Scropio to sleep, his mobile buzzes on the other side of the room. I grab it to find the word FATHER written across the screen. When I hand it to him, I tell him "It's Lucius."

He picks it up and whispers "Hold on. Let me give Scropio to Harry."

I gently pick up Scropio and rock him gently as Draco pulls himself out of the rocker, takes a few weak steps to his chair and takes a seat. As he wheels out of the room, he asks "Okay, what's the deal?"
