Chapter 98, You're home.

*Lucys POV*

Since we had left the hospital everything seemed fine.

I mean, it was peaceful for the first few days, first weeks, and when she was 2 and a half weeks old, we introduced her to Harry.

They didn't do anything of course, they were only a few weeks old after all, but they were still cute.

I was running short on lullabies as I was woken up by her at 3 in the morning for a diaper change.

"There there," I muttered sleepily but she continued to cry. "I don't remember anything else Lyra, I'm sorry."

As the words slipped through my mouth I remembered a song, from a particular muggle movie Lily showed us a Friday morning a few months ago.

"Okay, I'm sorry if this makes you cry more," I apologized. I couldn't sing for shit.

"Baby mine, don't you cry

Baby mine, dry your eyes

Rest your head close to my heart
Never to part
Baby of mineLittle one, when you play
Don't you mind what they say
Let those eyes sparkle and shine
Never a tear
Baby of mineFrom your head to your toes 
You're so sweet, goodness knows 
You are so precious to me
Cute as can be
Baby of mine."

Her crying seemed to fade away slowly, and I was happy with my accomplishment of luring her to sleep, as I waddled back to my own bed, welcoming the pillows and blankets with open arms.

After a month passed, they seemed to pass in mere seconds while the nine months felt like nine years. At least in the end anyways.

One day when she was nearing three months, I was changing her diaper.

"Thank god for magic," I exclaimed. What the hell was in baby food?

Turning back to her, both of her eyes were the same color as mine. "Didn't you have a grey eye?" I asked her.

She smiled and a laugh almost came out of her. "That's not quite a laugh Lyra."

Nevertheless, she smiled. I turned around to see if Sirius had been there yet, he wasn't always in the house all the time anymore, after all. If he had been stuck here with me and Lyra, he'd probably have five mental breakdowns hourly.

But the house seemed empty.

I turned back to her. "You're a special one aren't you?"

She still only had a smile on her face.

"I'm seriously fucked."

A sort of screech noise emitted from her. 

"I have conflicted feelings towards this whole situation."

I picked her up and she started to try and eat my hair. "Lyra don— actually I don't care at this point."

She happily chewed away as she seemed hungry. Lyra immediately seemed to be hungry and clinged onto my breast for dear life. 

Stuck in that position and very lonely, I remembered the offer Alice and Frank offered, and hoped for them to owl me soon enough.

Never thought I would be able to get this lonely, but when you're with someone who can't rally talk, it gets frustrating. 

~*~

I wrote to Alice the next week, but only this time I was expecting Sirius. He'd been on Order business, and saw us every month. The time varied from time to time, but it was honestly so comforting seeing him, a minute was all I'm glad for.

Bouncing Lyra up and down on my leg, I looked for Noah to have him deliver the letter.

He went off the the Longbottom's house, and I hoped he'd be back soon. Noah was starting to get elderly unfortunately. He was healthy, but getting more tired quicker and quicker.

Lyra sneezed and gave me a bewildered look; she had to get used to that feeling. I widened my eyes and raised my eyebrows more as she leaned forward to me, but almost fell. 

"You're bonkers Lyra."

I held her in my arms and hummed a melody, rocking her softly as she quickly fell asleep. 

I crashed on the couch a few moments later, magic could do thousands of things, including clearing my mind and things similar to that, but then again, so can weed.

"Love? I'm home I just--"

I opened an eye at Sirius' voice and broke into a smile. "You're home."

A/N: HELLOOOOOOOOOOO I HAVE WOKEN UP FROM MY MONTH LONG HIBERNATIONNNNNNN

and of course, i wish that was true.

i really, really, really wish that but ALAS ITS NOT.

Long story short, i re-uploaded bloodroot, im trying to finish chapter 2 (Which is almost finished) and my eyes literally burn from not having slept because of binge watching netflix. you know, like a crazy person?

I lost some inspiration for this, not the story but i just felt sort of numb. not to be dramatic but i'm pretty sure that a part of me died along with the roles of the original 6 avengers. endgame still has me crying everyday and its been over a month. :////

i'll try to upload more often, and i will starting june 7th because thats my last day of school *cheers in the background* i know i know im proud too. 

btw if you cant read any of what im typing is because i have a test next monday, im crying over tony and nat, i have math homework, a boardgame for history, im writing this while on caffeine and oreos, and writing this at 11:20pm. :)))))))))))))))))))))))))
