I smile watching Draco play in his ball pit, our handsome son recently turned 6 and after months of begging we got him a ball pit. I charmed it so some of the balls will randomly fly up landing back in the pit to keep him entertained.
He loves it hence 3 hours later he's still sat in the pit laughing.
Time goes by fast, it seems like yesterday he was born. To be honest I miss it. I even miss being pregnant even though that came with random cravings.
8:30pm
"Did Draco enjoy the ball pit?" Lucius asks as he pours himself some fire whiskey
"He spent all afternoon in it" I smile closing my book "how was work?"
"Same as always"
"I have been thinking"
"About?" He asks with a raised eyebrow
"A sibling for Draco"
"We've been through this Y/N. We had a son, the heir of the Malfoy family name"
"So you're saying if he was a girl we would've had more than one child"
"Precisely, you know the rules"
"It isn't rules, it's just something your family's heritage had done. Probably a curse made that all of them will have the first born as a son"
"Draco will get jealous, he's used to being an only child"
"He won't, I think it'll be good for him"
He pours another glass due to finishing his current one. "No Y/N and that's final"
"This marriage isn't just about you Lucius!" I snap standing up
"I want another child, why is it so bad if we have another one? It isn't like we don't have the space or money"
"We've been over this before"
"No we didn't you kept changing the topic. The only time you was happy to have more than one child was when it was up for discussion before our wedding. If you was man enough to state your true wants I wouldn't of said I do"
I walk out the room going to the kitchen making myself a glass of water and I go upstairs. I quietly enter Draco's room and place my glass down on the drawers. I walk over and tuck him in again as he's wiggled in his sleep making the blanket half hang off the bed and I don't want him catching a cold.
11pm
"Why are you in here still?"
"I'm sleeping in here tonight" I speak from the sofa where I'm currently laying down
"Y/N you will have a bad back, come to bed"
"No thank you"
"I'm sorry"
"You're not. Look at the photo gallery on the wall. His birth, his first time standing up by himself. Don't you want to experience all those amazing moments again?"
He looks at the photos then sighs sitting at the bottom of Draco's bed.
"Truth is I want a daughter as well. I miss Draco being a baby and all those milestones we helped him to achieve. I want to make you happy Y/N. You deserve everything but this is hard"
"Why?" I ask sitting up
"I'm worried, no one knows for definite where the dark lord is, we don't know if he really is dead there's no evidence. If he returns then you know what will happen."
"I'm confused, what does he have to do with us having a baby?"
"I'm worried he'll want her for something, Y/N I'm already worried for you with it, a daughter too? I wouldn't bare it if anything happens to you and Draco"
I stand up going over and kneeling down in front of him "you could've told me how you felt"
"No one knows about him but you can't spend the rest of your life in fear. You can't stop your dreams and plans because of something that may not be true."
"You're right, I was being selfish. This marriage is about you as well"
I stand back up taking his hand into mine "come on, that sofa was uncomfortable"
"I hope you're not tired. We got a baby to make"
"You mean it? You're 100% comfortable with having another baby? And want it?"
"Stop asking questions and get to that bedroom" he chuckles closing draco's door behind us
I kiss him quickly and walk on ahead to our bedroom.
