Summary: Draco's son is hours old.



Draco sat gingerly on the edge of the bed, wincing as the mattress dipped and Astoria stirred. "Sorry," he murmured. "Didn't mean to wake you. Get all the rest you can, Tori."

"I wasn't asleep." Astoria opened her eyes. She managed a weak smile for him, then her gaze went to the antique cradle by the bed. "How is he?"

Draco looked into the cradle, his face softening as he watched his newborn son sleep. "He's perfect. Absolutely perfect." Careful not to jar her, he leaned over and kissed his wife's cheek. "Thank you for this, love. For our son."
