When we got home, I had finally stopped crying, but I still dind't feel any better. Although Scorpius wasn't seriously hurt, he had gotten scared, nad proably mentally hurt as far as emotions go. I wiped my face off with the back of my hand as we pulled into the driveway.l Ashley put the car into park and turne to me.
"It wasn't your fault. Stop blaming yourself." HE took borth of my hands. I shook my head no.
"Do you know what goes on in the Manor? Elle is in bad enough shape as it is. No, Scorpius wasn't hurt bad, but it will crush Eleanor. She keeps him close to her. He's her preicous gift, and I got him hurt.
"Sarah Beth-"
"You don't understand, Ash. When Ellie and Draco first got married, she concieved right away. She was so happy. She knitted so many baby swaters and booties. she furnished a nersery three monthes into the pregnancy. She was really excited. She was even starting to get better with her depression. She was going to Mungo's less and less.
"Then, in her fifth month, the unthinkible happened; she lost her baby. She had already lost so much, and then she had a miscarridge. She was left with all of the sweaters and booties, but not baby.
"She spiralled back into depression. She didn't do anything for a long time. All of her writing stopped. All of the music. Everything. all she would do was sit and cry, or stare off into space. She even stopped sleeping beside Draco. She wouldn't eat or even shower or get dressed without Mr. Lucius, her father-inlaw, telling her to.
"Eventually, she was forced to go back to st. Mungo's and live there, like Auntie had. IT took weeks for her to be realeased again, but she still wasn't fully recovered. But eventually, she became acccepting of the fact, and decided to try again.
"Her and Draco tried again, and hse concieved. She didn't tell anyone until it was really obvious in fear of creating a hype and loosing it again. The only person that knew was Mr. Lucius.
"The day Scorpius was born, she freaked out. Her water broke a month and a half before it was suppose to. She was so affraid she would lose him, too. But he was born healthy, with no problems. She's terrified of him getting hurt." When I finished, I looked in the back seat to make sure Scorpius was still asleep; he was. Ashley looked amazed.
"Wow. then she had the other one, right?"
"Yeah." I lovered my voice. "But he was kind of an accident..." We sat quietly a few minutes, then I sighed. "I guess I hsould be getting him home." I opened the car door, closed it, then opened the back door. I grabbed the child's backpack, slid it over my shoulder, then scooped up the still sleeping Scorpius. I closed the door with my hip and waited for Ashley to open teh front door for me. WE both went in and I turned to him. Bruce fell from Scorpius's grip, and Ashley picked up the stuffed dragon and put it in the backpack.
"Thanks." I smiled at him. "Can you make dinner tonight?"
"Yeah. How long will you be gone?"
"I don't know. If you're hungry, you can go ahead and start."
"OKay. Bye." We kissed. "I love you."
"I love you, too." I replied, then Disappared.
I didn't really enjoy just Apparating in the middle of someone's home, but that is what they instructed me to do when I brought him back. I ended up in the Malfoy's huge foyer.
"Hello?!" I called out when i saw that no one was around.
"Coming!" A feminin voice called back. It was no doubt Mrs. Narcissa's. Like I though, the woman came into the room and warmly smiled when she laid eyes on her grandson.
