Narcissa, Lucius and Remus arrived back at the Manor a few days later. Remus bundled up and in Narcissa's arms and sleeping peacefully. Lucius and Narcissa walked to the nursery which was across the room from the main bedroom which they shared and put Remus in his cot. Looking down at their little miracle, Lucius looked at his wife and saw the beaming look, she always had with Draco when they watched him sleep. Narcissa looked up and saw Lucius staring at her and asked.

"What?"
"Nothing- well no, you look amazing"
"Oh, stop it you"
"No, why should I not complement my wife on how radiant she looks"
"Stop it Luc, you're making me blush"
"Come here you" Lucius said as he kissed Narcissa on the cheeks.

Life at Malfoy Manor was chaotic with a newborn baby. Lucius would regularly go to the Ministry exhausted, as Remus wouldn't sleep at night. Narcissa fared no better, looking after a newborn was a lot easier in your twenties rather than in your fifties. Both were exhausted and barely saw each other with Narcissa moving into the nursery to look after and be near Remus, like she had done with Draco. Lucius rarely went into the nursery, rather spending time in his office working into the wee hours of the night. It was only when he had figured that Narcissa and Remus were asleep, he would enter and be surprised at how exhausted his wife was, however his son was a splitting image of Draco at his age sleeping perfectly. Andromeda came round regularly to look after Remus, to give both Lucius and Narcissa a little break. When Lucius and Narcissa did see each other, they usually fell asleep in each other's arm. Teddy would normally accompany Andromeda and the manor would have the sound of laughter as Remus found Teddy interesting when Teddy would change his hair right in front of Remus' eyes.

One afternoon, Narcissa was napping when Teddy walked in and cuddled his 'Aunt'.

"Hey Aunty Cissy, you know I love you"
"And I love you too, Teddy Bear"
"Aunnnttttyyyyy" Teddy whined
"WHATTTTTT?"
"Nothing" Teddy giggled
"I don't believe you, Mister!" Narcissa said as she tickled her nephew in her California King Bed.

Lucius came home that afternoon, to giggles from both his wife and son as well as Teddy and Andromeda. He entered the parlour to see Teddy change his face, to resemble him. When Teddy noticed his 'Lucius face' blanched and everyone turned around. Lucius came up to Teddy.

"The nose was a bit too long"
"That's not what Uncle Harry said"
"Very funny"
" I know, I'm hilarious"
"Careful what you say Teddy" Andromeda chimed in scalding her grandson.
"But Nanny, making fun of Uncle Lucius is fun"
"Yes, in front of Uncle Harry, Ron and Aunty Hermoine, not in front of Uncle Lucius though"
"I love you too Andromeda" Lucius said dryly.
"Anytime Luc"

Lucius silently fumed towards his wife's sister though seeing her wife happy and not exhausted made him smile. He scooped up Remus and Teddy and sat them on his lap with the obvious exception of Remus who was cradled in his left arm. Remus looked up at his father and smiled when he realised that his father was cooing at him like an idiot and Teddy with the exact same face. Narcissa saw a spark in Lucius' eyes which he hadn't seen in a very long time. She had seen it when he used to play with Draco when Draco was the same age. She hadn't seen the spark in Lucius since Draco started Hogwarts nearly 20 years ago. The spark was long gone during the war and this renewed spark made Narcissa extremely happy. Lucius wasn't happy working under Arthur Weasley especially when Draco was ranked higher than Lucius. Draco and Astoria hadn't visited since Remus was born, concerned over Scorpius' broken arm which failed to heal. Narcissa thought she should go over and see her grandson, if she wasn't so tired from looking after Remus. She got up and got some parchment and wrote a letter to Astoria asking if she could visit the next day to catch up and see everyone. She went to fetch her tawny owl to send the letter. Andromeda and Teddy said their goodbyes, as Lucius prepared Remus' bottle of formula and Narcissa sent the letter. Narcissa hugged her sister and great-nephew goodbye and they organised another play date.

"What other faces did Teddy do?" Lucius asked.
"He mainly tried to perfect your face" Narcissa giggled
"How was his first face?"
"Luc- darling, it was a bit of fun, the first one I must say was hilarious. 'You' had a long horse like face"
Lucius groaned at the mental image that flashed across his face. It looked like a Muggle actress whose face was currently plastered all over London.
"What?"
"It reminds me of this Muggle actress whose face is currently plastered all over London."
"Oh, I haven't been into town since the birth"
"How about you come into tomorrow and have lunch with me at the Ministry?"
"I just wrote to Astoria to see Scorpius and her tomorrow but I think I can go in the afternoon"
"It'd be great, we can catch up with Draco at work"
"We'll see how Remus is in the morning because he can be difficult at times"
"Is that what I miss when I go to work every morning"
"Absolutely! I honestly want to stop you from going to work and work from home once a week to help me, I can't always rely on Andy"
"I know my darling, but that rude inconsiderate git that is Arthur Weasley insists, INSISTS, that I turn up to work every morning to work because I took five days off to be with you"
"No swearing in front of your son! Let me come in tomorrow and speak to him"
"Fat lot of luck that might be, he doesn't hold you in the highest contempt either"
"Why? I've never said two words to him, and we're distantly related to them anyway"
"He believes we personally tortured Hermione Granger during the Second Wizarding War"
"Let me talk to him tomorrow and see if I can change his mind. Remember I can be tactful and charming when need be"

The following day, Narcissa apparated to the Ministry with Remus in her arms followed by the house-elf, Dreamy bringing the pram along because Narcissa didn't want her or Remus to splinch. After arriving at the Ministry and going through reception, Narcissa navigated the minefield of the Ministry to Lucius' office. Many people stop to stare at Remus and said their congratulations. She ran into Harry on her way to finding Lucius' office. Harry offered to take her there since she was walking in the complete opposite direction according to Harry. On the way, they talked about his life, his ever-growing family in which Narcissa instinctively thought of Molly Weasley and the amount of children she had. She regretted thinking it as soon as she had thought it. Harry hadn't said anything, if he was using Occulemency he never showed it and Narcissa was too tired to think about closing her mind. Arriving at the office Lucius and Arthur Weasley shared, Harry gave Narcissa a hug, it was something he had always wanted to do since she saved his life. Lucius gave Harry a handshake and Narcissa a quick peck on the cheek and took Remus out of the pram to hold him.

"I already asked him, he said no"
"Let me talk to him" Narcissa said as she strode into the cramped office
"Mr Weasley?"
"In the cubicle, give me a minute" came a response from somewhere in the tiny room stacked floor-to-ceiling with paperwork"
"Ahh, Mrs Malfoy, a pleasure to see" Arthur Weasley said as he emerged from some dark dingy cubicle
"Pleasure, how is Molly?"
"She is well, how is Andromeda, I never get to see her as much"
"She's well, looking after Teddy can be a full-time job because of his talent to change into whoever he wants. Remus finds him amusing"
"How is your son?"
"He is well, likes to spend half the night wide awake, and then nap throughout the day. Cheeky thing"
"Oh yes, is there I can help you with today?"
"Yes, there is actually, I was wondering if once or twice a week, Lucius came in later just to help me out at home"
"Well with my number of grandchildren growing steadily I need to help Molly out-"
"Well on the opposing days, couldn't Lucius do that?"
"Oh, umm, Molly is the main carer for most of them"
"Lucius is the main carer for his son"
"It's his past-"
"That's the past, Mr Weasley. It's settled then, Lucius comes in later on the days where you come in early! Wonderful, good to see you Mr Weasley and do pass on my hello's to Molly." Narcissa said too sweetly for her liking.
"I will, good to see you Mrs. Malfoy"

Twenty minutes later, Remus was snugly fitted into his father's arms, sleeping peacefully after trying unsuccessfully to grab the chocolate which hovered over his head. Narcissa looked at her son, and the resemblance to her older son and husband was so striking, she pondered what Alexandra looked like when she was younger. Did she look like herself or Andy? Or was she like her sons and took after her father. She then looked at her husband who like her, was looking at the ever growing form of their son. In his sleep, Remus sneezed and tried to rollover off Lucius' arm. Lucius grabbed his son before his blanket fell, Remus awoke with a start, and started to cry. Lucius cuddled his son, and hushed his son. In the corner of Narcissa's eye, she noticed a jewel-encrusted bug walking past along the table, scurrying along possibly to avoid being squashed. The bug went over the table top and Narcissa forgot all about it. Lucius gave the sleeping baby to Narcissa as Lucius' lunch break came to an end.
