"I will get you," Narcissa said after your daughter while you were all getting ready to spend the afternoon in Narcissa´s favourite part of your property. You made sure your daughter wasn´t and couldn´t be cold and took an extra scarf just in case. Narcissa looked at you and you just shrugged your shoulders, knowing what would you get from her.

"It is not freezing here like on the North pole," she said only and you ignored her little note. Making sure you weren´t cold neither, you carried the scarf for your daughter out of the house, followed by Narcissa.

Your daughter... was a little different. The fact you and Narcissa got her through using dark magic was still on your mind. And you knew what could have happened after using that kind of magic, but your daughter was something you could never unlove. She was original and you loved her the way she was. Just like Narcissa did.

"Dromeda!" You called for her when she was so far away and your daughter turned to you as if she was standing right in front of you and there was no distance between you two. She walked closer to you and you knelt down to reach her level.

"Yeah?"

"You forgot your scarf love," you said and started making sure your daughter was all warm. When you were finished with wrapping the scarf around her neck, her pink cheeks let you know about that she was feeling cold after all. You gently pecked her cheek and then you kissed her onto her forehead. As you looked back into her eyes, you found your daughter zoned out. "Now you can go and continue in playing. I am right here with mom okay?" You asked her and Andromeda didn´t give you any answer. As always.

When she started walking away from you, you backed away. Narcissa hugged you with one hand around your waist and you leant into her, still watching the little piece of you and Narcissa walking in the garden.

"Do you think that she will be okay with it?" Narcissa asked you and you knew what did she mean. You looked up into her beautiful eyes your daughter got from her and frowned a little, letting Narcissa know that you didn´t really understand her question.

Still not answering you, Narcissa slid her hand lower and took your hand into hers. She was wearing gloves what made you think of that if that exact thing was the reason why her hands felt always soft. Literally always.

"Okay with what?" You asked out loud this time, still with the question in your eyes as you both started walking the path your daughter had walked few moments ago.

"With that she is different," Narcissa finished her own tought and you understood. You looked at the little blonde who was playing with the leaves at that exact moment and you sighed.

"I don´t really know. I can´t see into her head, but I know that she sees the other kids are different. Just look at Scorpius," you said but you knew that you wanted to defend your daughter. You didn´t have a need, you knew that Narcissa was in that with you, you just wanted to say it out loud. "She is our miracle. I can´t be thankful enough for that we have her at the moment. And what if she is a little different? If we would have ten kids, and all ten of them would have authism, I would love them the most until my life wouldn´t end. And even after that," you said out loud and felt Narcissa´s hand brushing yours.

"I love you," Narcissa breathed out and a little cloud of smoke left her mouth. "Have I told you already?"

"I don´t think I remember that," you said frowning, even though both of you knew that you both said it all the time.

"I love you."

"I love you," you repeated after Narcissa and looked her into her deep eyes. You could see how similar Andromeda was to her. They both had the same face, same cheeks and nose. When you looked at Narcissa, you saw your daughter. When you looked at Andromeda, you saw Narcissa.

"You didn´t get me," Andromeda approached you and appeared in front of you out of nowhere. You took a step aside and looked at Narcissa with that kind of look "you messed up," and she rolled her eyes.

"I will get you now," Narcissa smirked at Andromeda and she squeled. Not giving her mother a chance of catching her, she immediately turned around and started running away from you two. As you wanted to look at Narcissa and tell her that she would better follow Andromeda, you found her already passing you and running after your daughter.

"You won´t!"

"I will!"

You watched them both laugh. You watched them both run. The woman of your life you were ready to spend the rest of your life with and your daughter you were ready to keep your eye on. They were your two girls, the two most important people in your life and you couldn´t imagine your life without them.

It didn´t matter to you how they were. That Narcissa was a perfectionist. That your daughter had authism. Those were the parts of the people you loved which deserved most of your attention and you were prepared to give your attention to them, as soon as you would return into the Manor.

Your lips curled up into a smile when you saw Narcissa pick Andromeda up. She made a little twirl with her in the air. The giggling you could only see, rang in your ears. You exactly remembered what was their laugh like. Narcissa´s was tender, but a little deeper than it was when she was in her twenties. Andromeda´s was that little girl laugh you liked to hear. And when you heard them both, your heart couldn´t be even happier.
