Draco had already been late to work. He was helping his extremely pregnant wife around the house and ended up leaving just as morning rush traffic started.

Then, his boss kept him in, saying he had to make up for the time he missed that morning. He was at work another hour after that because they had just hired a new person and that person had a lot of questions.

And then he got a call from his wife. The baby was coming. He rushed out of the building and to his car as fast as he possibly could. He started the car and drove slightly above the speed limit to try and get there in time.

What he didn't plan for was the amount of traffic there was on way to the hospital. Y/n kept texting him, as well as a few others, telling him he needed to hurry. I'm doing the best I can. He thought. Damn traffic. I'm gonna miss the birth of my child.

Another hour passed and he finally arrived at the hospital. Not in time though. When he rushed into the room panting, he saw his beautiful Y/n with their baby boy in her hands. There were tears in both their eyes now as they looked at each other and their son.

"I'm so sorry." Draco's voice cracked as he spoke. "I missed it." A tear fell down his face. Of joy or sadness, he will never know. He looked at his baby, then to his wife with a smile on his face.

Y/n held Scorpius out to Draco and he carefully took the child into his arms. "Hi." Draco sniffled. "I'm your dad." He held his finger out to the small boy. "I love you so much. You're gonna grow up to be a wonderful person, I just know it." Draco leaned down and kissed the baby's forehead, then nose, then cheeks, then his little fingers and toes.

Y/n had worked for Draco for a few years. Draco was always in awe of how great Y/n was with Scorpius and it warmed his heart to see his son so happy. After Astoria died, he thought he'd never get to see him smile again. Until Y/n came into their lives.

Y/n always showed up, she never took a day off and even though Draco told her it was alright to take time for herself, she always stayed with scorpius. Weather Draco was at work or at home, she was there. She helped when Draco got sick, even though that wasn't her job, she helped with putting together both Scorpius and Draco's lunch for the day, and she cooked dinner before Draco got home.

So imagine Draco's surprise when Y/n didn't show that day. It was a Saturday so she didn't have to be there, but it was odd for her not to be. Draco thought maybe she had stopped wanting to spend all her time there, which he understood, but a heads up would've been nice.

Suddenly his phone started buzzing on the kitchen counter and Scorpius got to it first. "Hello? Miss Y/n?" His voice was hopeful. His faced Dropped after hearing her voice. It was raspy and broken, then Y/n broke into a coughing fit. It reminded him of when his mother was sick. "C-can you put your father on the phone Scorp?" He handed the phone to Draco with a concerned look.

"Hello?" Draco asked only to hear nonstop coughing in return. "I don't think I'm going to be able to come today, I'm a bit sick. I'll be there on Monday though to get Scorpius ready for school and all." Y/n croaked. "No, no need. Take the week off, get better." A few sneezes passed before Y/n voice came back on. "No I can't take that much time off, that's not fair to you." "I'm serious, I don't want you out of that bed until you're better." Draco spoke in a stern voice as if he was talking to a misbehaving child. A few moments passed before Y/n spoke. "Fine, I'll be there in a week."

The phone hung up and Draco looked to his son who was looking back at him with worry. "She'll be ok bud." He spoke calmly. In reality, the PTSD of his deceased wife was getting to him. "How can you be so sure?! You said the same thing about Mum!" He yelled as tears fell down his cheek. Draco sighed. "How about we go over to her house and check on her, huh? How does that sound?" He asked as he tried to stop himself from crying too. He had to be strong for his son. Scorpius nodded vigorously and ran to get his coat and shoes on, Draco followed quickly after.

They stopped at a few stores on the way to Y/n's house and bought a few things for her to help her get better or just make her smile. They were surprised when they got there, they'd never been there before, they originally thought the got the wrong place, but when Draco looked at the paper, he realized it was right. She lived in the space right above a dirty old convenient store, in a very creepy part of town.

They walked inside and walked up the the steps to get to the door to her flat, Draco keeping Scorpius in his arms in a protective manner the whole time. He knocked on the door and Y/n answered it with a tired expression. "I know, I know, I'll pay rent in a few da- oh... hey." She cut herself off and rubbed the back of her neck. "Uhm.. come on in." She walked over to the living area and cleared some cups and dishes for them to sit. "I, uh, sorry about the mess... I wasn't expecting comapan-" She started coughing again, Draco rushing to her to rub her back.

"Sh sh sh. Put your hands above your head." He took her hands and helped her raise her arms. "Scorp, darling, look for cough drops in the bag." He spoke to his son while he helped Y/n calm down from her coughing fit. "It's alright, it's gonna be alright." He kissed her head lightly when she stopped coughing completely. "I'm sorry." She spoke after a long pause, voice ragged. Draco moved her to the couch. "Why are you here? You could get sick." She said softly. "Scorpius, you need to stay over there. I don't want you getting sick, you still have to go to school." Scorpius frowned and hunched his shoulders. "I-I just wanna help." He whispered as he tried to keep from crying. Y/n coughed a few times before getting up and walking over to him.

She kneeled down to look into his eyes and held his arms. "You have been nothing but help my dear, just you being here has put a smile on my face." She smiled at him lovingly. "You know that I love you right? And you are helping. You're making me a whole lot less sad and lonely." She turned away and sneezed a few times, Scorpius quickly grabbing her a tissue. "Thank you my love."

Draco smiled at the two with pure adoration in his eyes. He cleared his throat and walked over to the brown paper bag on the floor. "Um, we got you a few things. I didn't know what you liked so Scorp here picked most of these." He held up a few of her favorite snacks and a container of soup from her favorite place. Y/n smiled tiredly. "Thank you." She shivered slightly, causing Draco to bounce into action immediately and place a blanket around her. "Here you go, warm up. I'll get the heater running." He went to get up but Y/n stopped him. "No, no need. It's just extra expenses. I've got perfectly good blankets."

Draco frowned. "Scorpius, why don't you go heat this up in the microwave." He told his son before dropping his voice to a whisper. "Am I not paying you enough?" Y/n shook her head with a smile. "You're paying more than you need to, rent's just been going up lately." She looked at her hands placed in her lap, avoiding Draco's eyes. "I'm serious, if it's not enough you can tell me." He lifted her head in concern.

Just then, Scorpius cane into the room with a cup of hot soup. He handed it to Draco and smiled. "Thanks bud." Draco took it over to Y/n. "Drink up." Y/n smiled at them both before shivering and taking a sip. Scorpius tugged on Draco's coat and pulled him into another room.

"Why is she living here?" Draco looked at his son confused. "What do you mean?" Scorpius sighed. "Why is miss Y/n living here? It's gross and cold and dark and I don't like it." Draco let out a breath and looked down at Scorpius. "Do you want to know the truth?" Scorpius nodded. "I honestly think she has problems with money." The little boy thought for a moment. "Then give her more." Draco chuckled. "It's not that easy." Scorpius thought some more. "Why can't she live with us? I mean she's always over, why not have her move in?" Draco hummed. "That might work, great idea dear." He smiled. "Now come on, let's go back and help some more."

When they walked back in, Y/n was done with the soup and shivering to herself, holding the blanket tight. Draco sighed and went closer. "How would you like to stay with us?" Y/n hummed, confused. "Well I mean, we have the space, and you're already over most of the time, so why not just live at the manor?" Y/n smile. "That's a kind offer, but I'm afraid it's one I cannot accept. It's too much." Draco scoffed. "Nonsense! C'mon, Scorp and I will help you pack. We don't want you living here another second." He got up and accio'd a box into his hand. He handed Scorpius another and they got started.

Y/n smiled and grabbed her own box to do as much as she could in her condition. "Y'know, I think this may just be a way to get me to watch Scorpius even on my sick days." She said to Draco. He smiled. "Maybe, but non of that matters now. We can worry about that later." They both laughed.

"Hey, thanks for this. Really, I appreciate it." She smiled thoughtfully at him. "It's really no problem at all, I love having you around anyway. I could use the company sometimes." He laughed out. "I'm serious. Thank you so, so much. I'll never be able to thank you enough-" "Hey. You even being here to help me with Scorp is enough." He smiled at her, his eyes drawing to her lips before he tore them away. I can't be thinking that, it's not fair to Scorpius.

They both blushed. "I- uh, I'll get the kitchen." Draco turned and went to the kitchen to pack up. Y/n stood there, stunned. She took a deep breath before turning and continuing with the bedroom. Scorpius watched the whole interaction with a big smile on his face until his father decided to be chicken and turn away. He rolled his eyes and continued with the living area.

When they finished, they brought all the boxes to the car outside and made them all fit with a few spells. Y/n went to pay the last of her rent, but Draco beat her to it, slapping her hand away lightly. Y/n laughed and shook her head, mumbling something as she walked out to the car with Scorpius.

With Y/n all unpacked, things felt less hectic and everyone could relax. There may have been a few boxes, but those were a project for another day. Y/n sat her sick form down on the comfortable couch and laid her head back. After putting Scorpius to bed, Draco wrapped a blanket around her and started a fire in the fireplace. Y/n finally relaxed with warmth surrounding her and she smiled contently. "There we go, all better?" She nodded. "Great." Draco said as he sat next to her. Their arms touched briefly, making them blush (oh wow, arm touching... you better use protection.). They look forward at the fire in front of them for a few moments.

Draco turned her head to look at Y/n with love filled eyes. Y/n felt his stare and her face reddened, still not meeting his gaze. She coughed a bit, Draco rubbing her back until she stopped. "You ok love?" He asked in concern. Y/n smiled and nodded. She looked up to look in his eyes. She noticed his gaze drop to her lips and let hers drop to his. Her gaze flickered back to his eyes and she smiled. He looked at her intently as he thought. "If you weren't sick right now, I'd ask to kiss you." Y/n smiled. "Why would you ask?" Draco chuckled. "Is that serious the only thing you focused on?" Y/n snorted in laughter, causing Draco to laugh as well. "If I told you I was feeling better would you believe me?" Y/n smiled. Draco laughed louder and shook his head. "I don't really want to get sick, but when you're actually better we can continue this." Y/n smiled down at her lap. "That's fair."
