Mattheo

Mattheo paced back and forth in their living room, holding their baby girl close to his chest. She had the smallest sniffle, and it had thrown him into full-blown panic mode.

"She's burning up, Y/N! She's definitely got dragon pox or something equally fatal," Mattheo exclaimed dramatically, his free hand raking through his curls.

"She has a mild fever, Mattheo," Y/N said, barely able to hold back a laugh as she prepared a bottle. "It happens. Babies get colds."

"Babies shouldn't get colds! Who do I need to hex for this?" he growled, glancing accusingly at the air itself.

Y/N rolled her eyes, walking over to him and taking their baby. "How about you relax? She'll be fine in a day or two."

Mattheo crossed his arms, his lips pressing into a thin line. "Fine, but I'm sleeping in her nursery tonight. Just in case."

"Whatever helps you sleep at night," Y/N teased, kissing his cheek.

Theodore

Theo sat on a bench at the playground, arms crossed as his two-year-old daughter toddled around. She was playing happily with another little boy who kept handing her dandelions.

Y/N nudged Theo's shoulder. "They're toddlers, Theo. It's adorable."

Theo narrowed his eyes at the boy, who giggled when their daughter kissed his cheek. "He's getting too bold. Where's his father? I need to have a word."

"Theo, they're literally two," Y/N said, laughing.

"I don't care. I don't want her growing up thinking boys can just charm her like that. It's unacceptable."

"She's her father's daughter," Y/N teased. "Good luck scaring off every boy for the rest of her life."

"I don't need luck," Theo said with a smirk. "I have Slytherin intimidation tactics."

Tom

Tom stared at their toddler, who had just accidentally exploded a vase with a burst of accidental magic. His eyes narrowed.

"She's too powerful already," he muttered. "This is going to be a problem."

"She's not a problem, Tom. She's a baby," Y/N said, picking up the giggling girl and placing her on her hip.

"She's my child, and that means she's more powerful than most wizards her age. This could make her a target." Tom crossed his arms, deep in thought.

"She's going to be fine. You're the only person in the world thinking about toddler power levels," Y/N teased.

Tom glanced at Y/N. "I'll start setting up wards. Stronger ones."

"Of course you will," Y/N said with a sigh.

Lorenzo

Enzo was on the floor next to their crawling baby boy, a cushion barricade built around him.

"Enzo, you know he needs to learn to crawl without you acting like he's in Azkaban," Y/N said, arms crossed as she observed the over-the-top protective measures.

"He fell this morning, Y/N. Did you see his face? He looked betrayed," Enzo said, adjusting one of the cushions.

"That's how babies learn," Y/N said with a laugh.

"Not my son. My son will learn how to crawl without ever knowing pain," Enzo said with conviction.

Y/N shook her head, pulling him up off the floor. "He's tougher than you think. Give him some space, love."

Draco

Draco was pacing the nursery, holding their one-year-old son as he whispered words to him.

"Say 'Father.' Come on, it's a simple word," Draco coaxed, his voice soft.

"Draco, he's going to say it when he's ready," Y/N said, leaning against the doorway with a smirk.

"But what if he says someone else's name first? Like... yours?" Draco looked horrified.

"I think I deserve it after carrying him for nine months," Y/N teased.

Draco sighed dramatically. "He's a Malfoy. It's a matter of pride."

"Then maybe stop pressuring him," Y/N said, laughing as the baby blew bubbles instead of speaking.

Blaise

Blaise frowned at the tiny stain on their daughter's new onesie, holding it up like it was offensive. "Y/N, do you know how much this costs?"

"She's a baby, Blaise. She's going to get things dirty," Y/N said, trying not to laugh as she watched him hold their toddler at arm's length to avoid getting food on his shirt.

"That doesn't mean she has to look like a commoner," Blaise said, grabbing a new onesie. "She's a Zabini. Standards matter."

"You know she's just going to get this one dirty too, right?" Y/N said with a grin.

Blaise sighed dramatically. "It's a small price to pay for class."

Regulus

Regulus sat in their child's room, his wand in hand as he cast protective charms around every corner. Their five-year-old had woken up crying about a bad dream, and Regulus had decided no shadow or monster would ever get close to his son.

"Reg, you know the dream wasn't real, right?" Y/N said, leaning against the doorframe with a fond smile.

"Maybe not, but the fear was. And I won't let him go through that again," Regulus said firmly, finishing his charms and standing.

"You're such a softie," Y/N teased, wrapping her arms around him.

"Only for him. And maybe for you," Regulus said, kissing her temple before sitting by their son's bed until he fell asleep.
