The following week was one of one hundred for Charlotte or Elara, but it was a big deal for Narcissa, that was more anxious by the hour as thursday was coming. Every day she would send a bunch of messages asking what has her granddaughter eaten, what time, how has she slept, what hour did she woke up, when she dropped Elara at school, what clothes she put on her, and etcetera.
Charlotte was having more labor from doing the reports Narcissa was demanding her than actually from taking care of her 4 year old girl. But the young mom was patient, it was all interest to keep her daughter well treated and that was all what matters to her.
Actually the hardest part was explaining to the little girl that her grandma was now, legally her father. Okay, she was not gonna use this words, but she had to find a way to make it simple for her baby's head to understand why she will be living with her gran'mama as well for now on, way more often than just a couple of visits on the weekends.
— Baby, what mommy is trying say to you is that now grandma Cissy will be just as bossy as mommy in your life. She is going to take you to school, kiss your booboos, put you to sleep, get you home, more to her home than to ours, and when you are there will be you, her and her family. Mommy will remain here waiting for the day you'll come back. — Charlotte said softly, seating them both on the couch.
— You two is going to share me? — Elara asked.
— It's more like you are going to have all of us for you. Mommy and grandma think that you should live with both of your families, to create bonds inside you little heart with all of us. It's not fair that I keep you all to myself, even if it's what I wanted. — The young mother couldn't help grab her baby in a big bear hug, making laugher erupt from Elara. — You'll have more opportunities to see your father.
Elara wrinkled her button nose.
— He don't want to see me. — She said sourly.
Charlotte sighed deeply, knowing that her daughter wasn't wrong, but she couldn't just agree with something so cruel.
— Maybe he seeing you with grandma all the time will make him think twice about the time he waisted not being with you!
The brunette tried to cheer her baby a little bit, but she still was distrustful about her dad's actions.
Thursday morning raised as usual for mother and daughter at some tiny apartment at magical London. Their routine follow as normal as everyday, just as saying good morning to each other with butterfly kisses, brush teeth together, get ready and prepare both lunch bags both for school and work.
— Remember baby, after school the teacher is gonna take your team to the swimming class, then who is gonna fetch you from there is not momma, it will be grandma, okay? — Charlotte rehearse the plan with her baby one more time.
— 'Kay! — The blonde head nodded.
— And then? — Elara was encouraged to continue to dictate the scheme.
— Then I'll go to gran'mama's house to sleep there and do everything I do at home on a normal day. And... Then on friday gran'mama will take me to school and make my lunch bag for me and fetch me from school, and then we are going to call mommy to say how we are doing. — The little Malfoy explained.
— That's my intelligent little princess! — Charlotte showered her face with kisses. — I'm gonna miss you so much my baby. If you miss mommy tell grandma to call me, okay? Behave.
