"Harry called you his wife?" Draco asks me. 

"Yeah it was a good cover story," I reply as I stir my tea, "I mean it got the waiter off our back. He gave her some bull high school sweethearts story."

"I just don't see why though?" He asks me. 

"Well normally we tell people he's our godson but that always sparks 'oh you're together?'" I tell him, "besides Teddy always makes himself look like Harry and I while we have him."

"You could be siblings," Draco offers.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy are you jealous?" I ask him.

"What? Jealous of Potter? Never," He says defensively. I chuckle lightly. "I'm not jealous of Potter okay I'm actually married to you and he could only dream."

"Exactly love," I say as I move taking his hand, "it's me and you to the end. Besides we all put up facades when we go into the muggle world. I mean it's like a whole thing." 

"I know," He says softly. 

"We should talk," I tell him.

"What about?" He asks me carefully.

"Mikey," I tell him, "I know we aren't exactly there yet but I want to know now."

"What do you want to know?" He asks me.

"How are we gonna talk to him about the war," I say softly. Draco tenses. "He'll hear about it- he'll hear about my part and he'll want to know about your part. So how do you want to address that?"

"I- haven't really thought about it," He says softly.

"We don't have to make this decision now," I tell him, "we just have to have this in our discussions."

He tightens his grip on my hand.

"We need to be honest with him," Draco says quietly, "he deserves to know the truth. We'll help him understand." 

"Alright," I tell him, "then we'll tell him in a way to help him understand."

He moves pecking my hand. 

"It's gonna be something we have to talk about with any kids we have," He says tensely, "we have to tell them their dad was a villain-"

"You were never a villain you were a child who was manipulated," I say firmly, "people who you loved were being threatened. Plenty of people would of done the same thing you did."

"You wouldn't," He says avoiding my eyes.

"Draco Lucius Malfoy stop bringing yourself down," I say at once, "you are the love of my life. Stop going back to this." He sighs. "Mikey will understand. I know he will." 

The moment ends as a owl rushes into the kitchen. 

I pull away from Draco to grab the letter. 

"To Mr. Draco Malfoy," I say as examine the letter. I tear it open as he stares into his tea, "'To Mr. Malfoy, The department is having a emergency meeting to discuss the threat of a rising group of wizard terrorist. We are asking you to report promptly to the department'" Draco looks back to me and sighs. 

"Always something," He groans.

"I'll keep everything here together," I tell him, "keep me updated." He nods pulling me into a kiss before he apparates away. Then I'm alone. Blaise is at work and I'm just here with the two babies.

 I make my way up stairs to the study. I move to my desk to work on reviewing the assignments from the people in my department. Beside me the baby monitor reveals the two babies are still sleeping. Meaning I can get through this stack of papers. 

About a third of the way through I hear Mikey.

"Mommy," I hear him whine softly. I move standing from the desk to make my way towards the nursery. The soft whining turns to crying and by the time I get to the nursery he's seconds away from a melt down. I pull him from the crib and he starts to relax. 

"Shh I've got you Mikey," I tell him rocking him slightly. He stops crying but that doesn't mean he wants to be held. He nearly dives from my arms as I try to put him down. He wanted out to play not for anything else. Sounds about right. He crawls towards the pile of blocks and starts with those. Next to wake up is little Barron. As I move to change his diaper I hear Mikey babbling. A couple of words leave his mouth but mostly it's just sounds. He's trying to talk in sentences but he's only 8 months so he's not really there yet. 

"I never pictured you looking so much like a house wife," Blaise says as he joins us.

"Well I'm not really a house wife muse I mom," I correct as I hand him Barron, "how was work?"

"Good," He tells me, "clients were the same as always. Demanding potions they are too dumb to learn."

"Sounds about right," I tell him as I look over at Mikey levitating the blocks around him, "Draco's in a emergency meeting so no clue when he'll get back so it's just gonna be us and the babies until then."

"I can watch them if you need to get anything done," He offers.

"Nah I'm not working on anything at the moment," I tell him, "I am going to move these guys down to the living room for a bit. So if you can just take him down while I grab some toys and Mikey."

"On it," Blaise says before moving off. I move scooping Mikey up with the firecrab doll he's playing with. Although Mikey clearly doesn't want to be held. 

"Mikey come on stop," I tell him, "okay stop kicking."

He doesn't listen. I groan as I move quickly. As we get to the living room I let him down and he crawls quickly to Barron in the bouncer. I set Mikey's firecrab in the pile of toys by the couch then move to slump down.

"He's very uh energetic today," Blaise says looking at me.

"Trust me I know," I tell him, "he's being his father's son today. Mikey?"

He turns looking over at me. Not really wanting to be distracted from his toys. 

"No mama," He says then turns back to his toys. 

"Man he's all attitude," Blaise says, "that's pure Draco."

"I know," I tell him, "I love my son but man." Blaise laughs but I look at him firmly. "Oh like Barron won't also have a nice attitude."

"Fair enough," Blaise says with a smirk as he sits beside me, "but worse the kid has Millicent in him."

"Yikes," I say softly as I watch Mikey spark slightly.

"No Mikey!" I exclaim, "no fire!"

He stops. But I can tell he didn't want to.

I sigh looking over to Blaise.

"Kid's are exhausting," I tell him, "how did Molly and Arthur raise 7. Well really they raise 9. How?"

"I don't know but I respect them a lot more now," Blaise says softly, "like when they get to Teddy and Victorie's age it's over for us."

"Don't remind me," I tell him, "seriously every time I think about it I want to cry."

"Hey we're all gonna get through it together," He assures me, "we've got this."

"We better," I tell Blaise, "because they are just gonna get older and more difficult to raise and we are just gonna get old and tired."

"Ugh I can't imagine being old," He groans, "we're at our prime in our 20's-"

"And yet act like we're 60," I tell him, "the three of us never get out. I mean we work and come and take care of the kids. We should be out doing something!"

"Or we could watch TV," He suggests.

"Or we could watch TV," I say moving to grab the TV remote. We had to get some poor muggle guy to come in to install the TV and everything for it we we're doing pretty well with it until Teddy sneezed and his nose turned into a elephants trunk. We had to wipe his memory but we got a couple TV's set up in the manor.

Some kid's show with a kid genius and his dumb sister comes on and it captures the attention of the two kids. I move resting my head on Blaise's shoulder. 

"Who names their kid Dextor?" Blaise asks. I look over at him and roll my eyes.

"Who named their kid Barron?"

"Hey shut up," He says back. I chuckle lightly. I hear the door open once we get through a couple episodes of the kid shows. My eyes move over to see Draco and Harry walking in together. 

"Hey guys," I say as I look to them. Blaise looks over from the tv to see the two guys and waves boredly.

"You guys look relaxed," Harry says looking across us.

"Kids wore me out," I say honestly, "how's Teddy been?"

"He's with Ginny right now," Harry says, "and I hate you by the way."

"Love you," I say smiling at him, "So Dray why is Harry here?"

"He and I have a case to work on," Draco says, "they never stop."

"Study's open if you want to use it- don't mess with my desk though," I tell him, "I'm working through reviewing."

"We won't touch anything," Draco says waving to me. They move upstairs and Blaise looks at me curiously.

"Not gonna ask about it?" He asks me.

"Nah I know he'll tell me later," I say as I look back to Mikey who's holding himself up with the coffee table. "He'll be one soon. Which means another party. So prepare for party planner diva Draco."

"Great," Blaise cringes, "how do we survive him?"

"We love him," I say honestly, "and he loves us. All of us." Blaise rolls his eyes. "Yes Zabini we love you. Even when you get all angsty." 

"I hate you," He says firmly.

"No you don't," I tell him, "want a drink? I'll get us some wine."

"I'll make sure these two don't kill each other."

I move to the kitchen and pour two glasses of the whine. When I get back to the living room I see Blaise with Mikey in his arms tickling him. The baby sequels in laughter.

I sit back smiling as I watch the scene. Blaise see's me and smiles brightly.

"He wanted up," Blaise answers simply.

"Up it is then," I say as he sits Mikey back on to the ground. Mikey crawls over to me motioning for me to pick him up. I hand the wine glasses to Blaise then pick up Mikey. As we move back over to the couch I take my drink back. Mikey moves climbing on me. "You are actually good with kids. Who are you and what have you done with my best friend Blaise?" He rolls his eyes as I chuckle at myself. "Can I be honest?"

"Obviously," He tells me.

"You living here is really fun- and I know that Draco really enjoys having you here with us," I tell him. 

"I'm glad I'm not being a problem," He tells me, "I've felt bad about staying and giving everyone more work. I know you guys invited me but still-"

"We love having you here," I tell him, "don't feel like a inconvenience." 

He smiles as he looks over to Barron. The baby messes with the little toys on the bouncer. 

"Having you guys help with him is making this so much easier," Blaise admits, "I don't feel like I'm ruining his life any more."

"Good," I tell him, "we're here to help you with anything you need. That's what friends do."

Barron starts to whimper. He's clearly hungry. Blaise stands setting his glass down on the coffee table then pulls his son from the bouncer and moves towards the kitchen. He leaves me and Mikey alone.

I look over to Mikey to see him messing with a book.

"What is this?" I ask as he drops the book obviously no longer interested. I put him back on the ground so he can play with his toys as I look at the book. It's a old text book. I look to the cover page to see it was actually Draco's. It's a potions book the one from our 6th year. I start to flip through it but a piece of paper falls out. I move picking it up to look at it. It's Draco's handwriting.

 'Y/n & Draco Malfoy'

'Y/n & Draco Cultven' 

'Y/n & Draco Malfoy-Cultven'

It's our names a way to combine them. Merlin's sake he's such a dork. I place it back and set the book back on the table. I wonder why Draco pulled it out. Maybe Blaise did? It's not exactly a coffee table book

Blaise returns with Barron rocking him lightly as we go back to out TV shows. 

After a while Harry and Draco come back downstairs and Harry leaves mumbling something about needing to get back to Ginny. Once he's gone Draco moves settling beside me on the couch. I hand him my wine glass and he takes a long drink.

"Rough assignment?"

"They lost why can't the accept that?" He groans, "these stupid Death Eaters are still preaching about this garbage I just don't understand why they won't stop."

"I'm sorry babe," I say to him.

"It's just frustrating," He groans, "whatever we'll handle it we always do." I move lacing my fingers with his. "I have free time and can spend it with my favorite people."

I chuckle resting my head on his shoulder. Mikey moves towards us and Draco pulls him up onto his lap.

"Wanna watch stupid cartoons and pretend it'll make all our problems go away?" I ask him.

"Do you even have to ask?" He says smiling. I move handing him the remote.

Oh to handle our problems just like any other set of messy parents in their early 20's.
