"Scorpius!" I growled as he sat next to the broke cookie jar on the floor. "Your father is going to be livid."
"I don't care!"
"Scorpius! This jar was your moms!" I picked up the pieces in shock. Draco was going to have a fit.
Like hell had casted it's wrath, Draco opened the door.
"Daddy!!" Scorpius ran to the door and jumped into his fathers arms
"Scorpius! Hey little prince."
"Draco." I started. I held up the pieces and dracos face went pale.
"Is that... astorias jar?"
I nodded. Draco looked down to scorpius now noticing the crumbs on the corners of his mouth.
Draco started to shake, presumably out of anger.
He put Scorpius down and walked over to the broken jar. His jaw clenched and he kneeled by the pieces.
"Scorpius why don't you head to your room for a minute." I said lowly trying to keep the peace.
"No! I don't want to!"
"Scorpius please."
"No!" He shrieked
"SCORPIUS! IN YOUR ROOM! NOW!" Draco shouted from the floor. Scorpius's lip quivered. He wailed all the way into his room.
Draco finally fell onto the floor and the tears started pouring out.
"This was it. It was all I had left. She's gone now." Draco was desperate for air through his sobs.
"Draco, that's not true." I rubbed his shoulder and he leaned into me.
"She's gone y/n." He clutched a large shard to his chest and cried.
"I know it's been hard since she passed but she's not totally gone. No one can ever take the memories or the feelings she gave you. Those are forever with you. And you have Scorpius. He's half of her."
He started to sniffle and make a small whining noise. I thought about how Scorpius had been acting, rude, irresponsible. While he's still a child he knows right from wrong.
"Scorpius is taking this hard like me. He doesn't need the sob story of his father to weigh him down more."
"Scorpius loves you Draco. He smiles whenever you get home. He wants you to be proud of him."
"He loves you too." Draco looked at me with glossy eyes. I moved a strand of gelled hair out of his eyes and shook my head.
"No he doesn't but I'm glad you think so."
"I need to do apologize to him. I was too harsh." I helped him stand and he walked to his room

"Scorpius please be careful." I called as he climbed a tree.
"I'm fine!"
"Scorpius..." I whined nervously.
He tightrope walked a branch which made my stomach turn. His foot slipped and my heart nearly left my body. He steadied himself.
"Okay time to get down."
"No!"
"Scorpius! Now! Get down!"
"No way!"
"Scorpius I'm going to count! If you're not down I'm going to call your father."
"You're not my mom! You never have and never will be! You're just replacing her! And you can't do that!"
"Scorpius." I was astonished. I couldn't believe he thought I was trying to replace her.
The walk home was tense. Draco was happy but then saw the tension. He pulled me aside.
"What happened?"
"Scorpius thinks I'm trying to replace Astoria." I mumbled.
"You know that's not true."
"Yeah I know. It just hurts."
"He's just a kid who lost his mom y/n. He doesn't know the weight of his words he only knows his feelings."
I sighed and looked at the ceiling with tears forming.
"You don't have to cry. He doesn't know anything."
"It's not that." I shook my head.
"Then what?"
"I can't... I can't do this anymore."
"What do you mean?"
"I can't stay. Scorpius doesn't like me, everything seems chaotic with me, he needs some time to get his feelings in order before another woman joins his life. I need to leave. Even just for a little."
"Y/n, come on please." I picked up my bag and shook my head.
"No Draco. Just let it be for now."
He tried to grab my hand but I rushed out too fast.

Dracos POV
I sighed loudly and slammed my head on the table in defeat.
"Daddy?" A small voice cooed. I looked over to see Scorpius peeking around the corner. "Where did y/n go?"
"She-she left."
"Where?"
"I don't know."
"When will she be back?"
This question struck me in the heart. To be honest I couldn't answer my son.
"Um... I don't know. But can I ask you something?"
"Sure." Scorpius walked over to his dad and he was put on Dracos lap.
"Why do you get so angry with y/n?"
"She tries to be mom."
"And why does that make you upset?"
"Because she's not mom."
"But she's just trying to help you. Make you feel loved and happy. The same way mommy did."
"But she's not mommy."
"But when you play with a blue crayon and not a green one you feel the same way about them don't you?"
"Yeah."
"So when it comes to y/n are you mad that she's trying to impersonate mommy or that mommy isn't here?"
"It's because mommy isn't here to do it. I don't want her I want mommy."
"We both do. But you know mommy can't be here right?"
"I know." Scorpius looked down and pulled on the button on my shirt. His lip quivered the same it did when I yelled at him.
"I miss mommy." He squeaked. Tears started to fall from his tiny eyes onto his soft rosy cheeks.
"I know. Me too."
"Y/n isn't mommy but she's good too." Scorpius nodded and looked up at me as he spoke.
"You know y/n thinks you don't like her very much. She thinks you're upset with her."
"Why?"
"Because you yelled at her."
"Oh." He wiped his eyes with the back of his hand and breathed in.
"Should we go find her?"
He nodded and we got in the car.

Your POV
"Y/n!"
I turned to see the boys running toward me.
"Please come back!" Scorpius cried
"What?" I laughed
"Please don't leave us! We love you! I love you!" He flailed around
"Okay okay calm down."
Draco looked at me as Scorpius wailed.
"Please come back to us. We need you. I need you. Scorpius doesn't hate you."
"I don't hate you! I love you! Please don't leave! I want Mac and cheese and someone to grab my stuffies from my floor. I want marshmallows when daddy isn't looking!"
"YOU WHAT?"
"Daddy is gonna kill us!" I laughed. "RUN!"
I picked up Scorpius and ran with him around the area.
"I'm gonna get you two! Are you feeling my kid extra sugar?! He's already hyper!"
"Your father is gonna kill me!" I screamed
Scorpius laughed hard and jumped down. He stiff armed his dad and tried to hold him back.
"Run y/n! Run!"
