Months pass like years. Scorpio grows bigger with every day, and he's actually moving around now.

It's been eight months, and I can't help loving him more and more, every day. As the nurses lift the lid off the incubator, Draco and I hold our breathes.

The doctor picks him up and turns to us. The instant he's in Draco's arms, he sniffles as he cries in joy.

I help him take a seat, before sitting next to him. Scorpio looks between us, before giving us big smile, causing us both to laugh. Draco shakes his head "Daddy loves you more than you can ever know!" he speaks, softly.

"Do you want to feed him?" the doctor ask and Draco takes a shakey breath and she hands over a bottle.

His face is beet red from crying and Scorpio reaches up to put his hand on Draco's arm. His voice is muddy as he speaks "You are my life."

He places his lips to Scorpio's forehead and Scorpio squeals in excitement. After eagerly waiting, he looks to me and asks "Do you want to hold him."

Instantly, I nod and he passes him over. As I look into that little boys eyes, sudden, every bad decision I've ever made, along with every good one, is justified.

In that moment, as I look into those bright green eyes, I know why everything I've done is justified.

If I would have changed anything, I might not be sitting where I am today. And that's what I fear most.

Since Voldemort's soul left my body, I haven't feared anything, until now.

The next four months go by with ease. Finally, the thing we dreamed about is coming.

We get to take him home.

The whole ride home, he's looking around outside, causing us to laugh. After we get home, feed him some butternut squash, and putting him to bed, it's dark outside.

Draco shuts the door to his room and looks to me, before whispering "Daddy needs a drink." I smile, before leading him into my room and walking into my closet "What are you doing?"

I walk out with a smirk "I've got a suprise for you." he gives a confused look, until I pull out my broom "Why don't you take it for a spin?"

Minutes later, he flies through the orchard and lands right in front of the sitting room sun room.

As he walks up to me, I smile "She's great, isn't she?" he nods, before propping the firebolt in the corner.

He takes my wine glass and takes a sip. We take a seat on the couch and he sighs "Well, we're parents."

I hum, before pointing out "Technically, we were parents a year ago." he scoffs and I shrug "Maybe you didn't notice."

"Oh, I notice." he chuckles as I do the same. When he stops, he furrow his brow and I give a confused look "Those eyes are like quicksand."

"Oh, is that why you didn't tell Bellatrix?" I ask as I put the wine glass down "Is that why you returned to our side?"

He's silent for a moment, before stating "I did it, because I love you." I take in a sharp breath, before looking to him in surprise "I'm in love with you."

I give a smug smirk, before asking "How Gryffindor of you?" he gives a panicked look and I tuck a loose hair behind his ear "I love you, too."

He smiles, and I place my lips to his and he leans us back. As we kiss, I unbutton his shirt and toss it across the house as he chuckles as he pulls off mine.

As we fumble with our pants, I stop him "We can't here." he gives a confused look and I bite my lip "We don't want to wake him, do we?"

He shakes his head and we sit up. Silently, I lead him through the house and into the snug to get to the study. As I wipe everything off the desk, he scoffs "You're very eager."

I give him a rough kiss, before declaring "Nineteen and a half years is far too long of a wait." he hums and I drop to my knees to unbuckle his b-

"Wow, wow, wow!" Ron interrupts and I hum, causing him to hiss "I get it, you fucked! I don't want to know what you did while you were fucking!"

"You asked what happened." I state and Hermione smirks as the front door opens "Draco?"

"Yeah?" He asks, stepping into the sitting room "Did you tell them everything?" I shake my head and he frowns "Where are you at?"

I clear my throat, before explaining "The first time we had sex." he presses his lips into a fine line and I whisper "They know that I bottom."

Sirius the dog and Albus the cat run downstairs and run outside of use the restroom. Draco smiles, before stepping towards the stairs "Scorpio, darling! Dad wants you to meet a couple of his friends!"

I lean my head back just in time to see Scorpio messing with his mess of straight black hair that's a spiked out shag. His snake, Hedwig, is a western hognose snake. She's hanging around his neck "Daddy, I don't feel good." he whines.

Draco kneels next to him and moves the hair out of his face "I know baby. I'm sorry." Scorpio pouts his lip and Draco asks "Do you still want spaghetti for supper?"

Scorpio nods "I want p'sketti." I snicker and Draco smiles, causing Scorpio to scratch his head "I didn't know dad had friends."

Draco and I die laughing and Draco calms himself before I do "Yeah, baby. Come on." he picks him up with a grunt and walks him into the room "Hermione, Ron, this is Scorpio, the sassiest kid ever. Scorpio, this is Hermione and Ron."

Scorpio gives a weak smile, before looking to Draco "I want to sit in dad's lap." I hold out my arms and he sits Scorpio in my lap.

Draco kisses both of our foreheads "I'm going to go make dinner." he narrows his gaze at Scorpio "Be good."

As he walks away, Scorpio gives a mischievous smirk, before looking to his snake.

I roll my eyes and continue with my story.
