A Blended Family

52

The morning started the same as any other morning the last couple of months, Draco getting the children ready for the day and starting breakfast. Once the toddlers were dressed, they would run around the living room playing with one another until it was time to get in their high chairs for breakfast.
Draco spend most mornings since the warmer weather started, eating alone with his children. The month was late May, and the heat was coming. The hotter it became, the worst Harry felt. Draco tried to keep the apartment cool, but a couple times it was just to hot outside to get the temperature low enough for Harry. Draco hated it and Harry was more and more annoyed at himself. He just wanted it to end. Harry's mental state was getting for poor, and Draco knew this. Draco feared the day, Harry would give up and stop his treatment. That would just start the countdown of when Draco lost Harry and that was stressing Draco out.

Thankfully, this morning didn't start off the same. Harry slowly came out the bedroom, Showered and dressed for the day. The toddlers hurried over to Harry and Harry smiled big. "Go play, kids." Harry said, watching the toddlers run off to play once again. Harry walked into the kitchen and grabbed a bottle of water. "Ginny called, can you call your aunt?" Harry asked. "She's in labor?" Draco asked. "She is, and of course she wants another home brith. So, would you mind? Do you think you can get the day off, or is it too late?" Harry asked. "It's...likely to late without me getting repercussions, Harry. I might can get somebody to cover the afternoon trip." Draco said. "I'll call a cab then. You can just meet us there, alright? I'm going to keep Eleanor busy." Harry said. "Are...You sure you can handle watching such an active toddler?" Draco asked. "I'm sure your aunt won't come alone, Love. I'll be fine, I'm sure." Harry said, to feel a light kiss. "I have to worry, Harry. I don't want anything to happen to you. I know it annoys you sometimes, but you are everything to me and those children." Draco said and Harry let out a sigh. "I know love, sometimes it is just easier then others to see that." Harry pointed out. "I know, love." Draco said.

Harry stood waiting on the cab outside that morning, already feeling bad. He really wasn't that sure how he was suppose to keep up with a 21 month old girl. Harry just hopped Bellatrix wouldn't come alone to the home off Ginny and Ryan Patrick.

--

Harry knocked on the door to that house about an hour later and Ryan opened it. He waved Harry into the house. "Hello, Harry." Molly Weasley said, walking over. Harry gave a light smile, getting a light hug. "Hey, I didn't know you'd be here." Harry said. "Bellatrix wasn't sure how long you'd keep on your free, asked if we could come over. I hope you don't mind?" She asked. "Of course not. I haven't really been on the phone and Hermione hasn't really called much. How are they doing?" Harry asked. "Well, Rose is getting to be such a big girl already." Molly smiled and so did Harry. "I'm glad!" Harry said.

Harry found the bedroom Young Elenore had all to her self. Elenore giggled and hurried over to Harry and held onto his legs. Harry smiled. "I missed you too, big girl! Me and you get to play! How does that sound?" Harry said and Elenore giggled, taking Harry's hand.
Harry slowly sat down in the floor by her little table and played the games the small girl wanted to play. A couple hours past by before Elenore let out a big yawn and rubbed her eye. "Come on, big girl. Let's get you ready for a nap." Harry said, picking her up.
Harry had her laying on the changing table. She laid sucking on her binky as he grabbed her another diaper, hearing the knock. "We are about to take a nap." Harry said, once see who stood at the door, Molly. "I was going to say lunch is ready, but I'm assuming you aren't looking to eat?" She asked. "No, not at all. Elenore and I are taking a nap. I'll get her some food after she wakes up." Harry said. "Alright, Harry. Do let me know if you need anything, okay?" She said. "I will." Harry said, turning his attention back to Elenore. Elenore was pretty sleepy and didn't want to move when Harry finished putting her little shorts back on over her diaper, so Harry picked the sleepy girl up and carried her to her toddler bed. Elenore was tucked into her bed and Harry just dropped to lay on the floor. Harry fell asleep long before the toddler would and was still asleep when Elenore woke up after her nap.

By then, Draco was already at their home with his two children, because he wasn't sure if getting back on the road to get the children would be an option. The weather was awful, a big storm. It was making the man, Ryan, very uncomfortable, who had already disappeared form his spot in the living room. Draco seen Elenore opened her bedroom door the rest of the way and went to get her. She was very happy to see her Fridays, Phoenix and Willow who both gave her big hugs and the three toddlers played in the living room.
After a big clap of thunder, the screaming started by Ryan. Whom very little ever heard a voice. "I think you need to mute the house, Hun." Said Author to his wife Molly. She nodded and disappear form the group. Once the house was quiet and Molly eased down by Ryan who still had his hands on his ears. It took a pretty long time before he let go, at last one of them. "I took care of the sound, alright? Just don't open the main door until the storm is over." She said softly holding out her hand. "Come. Draco found a puzzle of yours still in its box. Bell is going to come get you when it's time, alright?" Molly said. After a couple minutes, Ryan slowly got up, ignoring the hand. "Come." She said.

Once things calmed down a bit, Draco went to check on Harry. Harry at some point woke up and seen the small bed empty and climbed in it. He knew Molly was there to watch Elenore and he just needed to rest more, before he got really sick. Draco just pulled the blanket up over Harry and removed Harry's glasses, that were a bit to large on his face, again, because he was even weaker then just a couple weeks ago. Harry was hardly eating and talks about his feeding tube coming back was real. It also upset Harry even more, because it would be even more of a reminder of Harry being sick. Draco lend down, placing a light kiss on his forehead, before he left the small room.

--

Finally, A few more hours later. Ginny Patrick would welcomed her second child, Molly, who currently laid resting in her arms as her bedroom filled with just about everybody. Three toddlers climbing up on the bed, to get a look at the new baby. Harry still laid asleep in the toddler bed, but that didn't surprise anyone who was pretty surprised Harry came at all, knowing how bad his health was getting. Little Molly was slowly passed around the room, as Ginny got settled back down into bed to get some rest.

One by one, the household empty and Draco finally had to wake Harry who slowly got to his feet, and let Draco lend the way to the cot that held Molly. She was sleeping, buddled up in her now blankets and Harry's smiled lightly. "You...could have woke me up sooner." Harry said softly. "You needed your rest, Harry. Come, we should get going, love." Draco said.
