{Strawberry Tea} ✔️

Chapter 69

    

* 2 months*

Draco's POV

"It's ready" I mumble to myself as I finish up lunch and set the table for everybody once again... I feel like a housewife how is this fair... I pour a little bit of orange juice into a cup for Harry and grab some formula from the fridge for Atlas sitting it near his papa's OJ.
Next, I prepare tea for everybody... strawberry tea to be more precise. Ron is the only one getting the potion and now I'm struggling to figure out which cup is his I literally just poured it how can I forget.
I look back and forth between the 6 cups.... "those ones are the twins.... umm that one is mine because it has gold on it and I'm amazing... Harry probably still wants tea as well so he gets the red one.... erm... shit...." I talk to myself before the door flies open to reveal Harry with a smiling boy in his arms.
"What's going on," Harry asks as I reach my arms out for Atlas. "I'm just finishing with the tea... I forgot which cup is Rons and which one is Blaise's" I admit lifting Atlas over my head. He opens his mouth letting out a small "ah-ah"
I smile and hold him close to my chest a hand rubbing his back before turning back to Harry. He's looking at the two of us so, I wink at him. Getting an eye roll and some laughs.
"Anyways why does it matter who's cup is who's," he asks and I bite my lip. "You- see- uh- they hate having their cups mixed up you should know this," I explain but Harry's face doesn't budge
"Ok... sure I'm gonna got get everybody for lunch now," he voice was monotone. Kissing my cheek before he walks towards the door.
He pushes the door open and just before he leaves he turns back to me "Ron's is the yellow one... it is his favorite color" He reminds me a smile on his face. "Thanks love," I call back to him as he closes the door behind him.
"Ready to get into some mischief with daddy" I whisper looking down at Atlas. He lets out a small "ahbb" as he attempts to look up to me, his neck just wasn't strong enough yet.
"Almost there my prince" I whisper as I use my other hand to put the teacups in their spots trying my hardest not to spill them. I must say I did pretty well.
Just as I had finished setting the table everybody starts to pile into the kitchen sitting in their usual spots. I sit down last cradling Atlas in one arm so I'm able to feed him.
  His eyes light up as I grab his bottle and bring it closer to him. He happily drinks it and I laugh as I watch his tiny feet slowly kick the air in excitement.
   Harry begins to eat but I notice him watching us in the corner of his eyes a smile on his face the whole time. I must say parenting hasn't even been that bad yet, and I'm so in love with Atlas I could never ask for a more perfect first child.
   I look down to Atlas for only a second and my attention is drawn back to Harry having a coughing fit which leads to him choking. 
    I take the half-empty bottle from Altas and stand stepping over to him. I pat his back firmly "baby are you ok" I ask full of concern as he continues to cough into his fist.
   Atlas begins to cry probably from the commotion and me taking his bottle away.  I reposition my grasp on the baby and bounce him a little as I try to quiet him, but also make sure Harry is breathing ok.
   Finally, he sucks in a huge breath looking at me with tears in his eyes from gagging.  Ron lets out a sigh of relief and walks back to his seat which I hadn't even noticed he had left.
      "You want the baby," I ask knowing that Atlas was basically Harry's portable happy place. He nods his head yes and wipes a tear from his eye. I kiss the crying Atlas on the nose and hand him over to Harry.
   His crying softens as he looks to his papa with a tried expression. I sit back down just to lean over the table and hand Harry, Atlas's bottle. Atlas gets excited immediately after seeing it.
  "Guess he likes food as much as Ron does" Blaise snickers which leads to us all laughing except Ron who was rolling his eyes. He attempts to change the subject by looking to Harry "what happened.... what did you choke on"
  Harry gulps before looking at me "erm strawberry.... tea" Fred spits out the drink he had just took and everybody looks at me with bewilderment.
   I throw my hands up in self-defense "listen up people it's all the tea we had left I-I didn't know you would get so defensive about it" I attempt to protect myself as they mumble.
  I made direct eye contact with Fred and George and they look to Harry. George mouths the word 'already' I shake my head and nod in the direction of Ron and both their eyes go wide.       They look at each other and nod before Fred takes another drink of his tea. "Yeah it doesn't even taste the same we had to try some for our last years of potions remember it had almost no taste, Ron just added the strawberry to it how could Draco be stupid enough to also do strawberry "  he announces backing me up and I let out a sigh of relief. Before glaring to both of them "haha funny"
  I so thought I was about to get outed but, no they totally just doomed their brother. I mouth a small 'thank you' to them as Ron's eyes the tea before taking a small sip of it. He seems happy enough with it and takes a bigger sip before setting it down.
Harry just stuck with his orange juice. Atlas quickly finished his formula and Harry excused himself as he went to go burp the baby in the
living room.

Harry's POV

I finally got Atlas to burp because for some reason he is so stubborn... "why must you be so stubborn" I say in baby voice, keeping him over my shoulder. I made my way back to the dining room. I open the door to see Draco had just finished eating "we're gonna start tummy time soon before I take him for his nap" I call before turning back to the living room.
"Be there in a second" he yells back. I lay Atlas on his back on the couch and pull his bag from underneath one of the mini side tables. Unzipping the main pocket I grab out the play blanket and unfold it setting it down on an open spot on the floor.

Next, I pull out his favorite dark green rattle with a snake on it custom-made because Draco is determined Atlas will be a Slytherin and I pretty much agree with him. Draco was Slytherin and I was supposed to be, so I really don't know. I'll love him no matter what though.
I grab a few foam blocks and before I can set them down I feel two hands pinch my sides making me gasp and drop the toys onto the blanket.
I turn around to see Draco with a smirk. "You git," I murmur as he bends over to pick up the rattle. He shakes it once or twice the smirk not leaving his face "Slytherin" he whispers before rattling it again.
A high pitch squeal comes from Atlas as he hears his favorite toy. I chuckle and crawl over to him on my knees then lift him off of the couch leaving a small kiss on his pale tummy. He lets out a small coo and I take him back to his blanket laying him on his stomach.
He wiggles around as Draco sits in front of him. I sit in my usual spot on his lap and he hands me the rattle. I shake it once and a small giggle comes from Atlas as he strains his neck trying to look at his favorite toy.
We repeat this for 5 minutes before you could tell Atlas was getting tired. He stopped trying for the rattle and just laid there his eyes starting to slowly close.
I push myself off of Draco and lift the almost sleeping baby. "Let's put him to bed then I'll come and pick this up," I sigh and Draco jumps to his feet "of course my love"

*

I give Atlas one last kiss on the head before giving him to Dray who kisses his forehead "night night my little prince" he whispers, putting Atlas on to his back in his cradle.
In a split second Atlas is asleep as we tiptoe out of the room. Once we're out Draco leans against the wall and I hug him putting my head into his chest he lets his arms hang loosely around my back.
"Everything is just.... perfect"
