Why We Love Children

Ginny sat at the dining room table, her head resting in her hands when she heard, “Mum! Mum! Mummy!”

She sat straight up, “Yes, Damien?”

“I found a cat!”

Ginny smiled down at her six year old son, “You did?”

He nodded his blonde head, “I founded it in the backyard…only, it was dead.”

“How do you know it was dead?”

“Because, I pist in its ear and it didn’t move.” He answered sweetly, grey eyes sparkling.

“You-did-what!?” Ginny exclaimed.

“You know,” he began, “I got off my broom, leaned over and said, ‘psst’ and it didn’t move!”

Ginny let out a sigh of relief, “Well that’s good. Wait a tic…” Ginny put her hands on her hips, “Damien Jamal Malfoy, what were you doing on your broom in the first place?”

Damien gave his mum a toothy grin, “I’ll be right there, Dad!” He turned around and started walking towards the backyard.

“Hold it right there, mister. You’re father is at work and you know you can’t be on you’re broom unless someone is there with you.” She sighed again, “Now show me where you saw this cat.”

Damien held his hand out for Ginny to take and he led her out into the backyard. He led her along a path that ended just before the trees, “Your father is going to have a talk with you, tonight.”

Damien’s eyes widened, ‘Uh-oh! Better sweeten up!’

Ginny looked down at the cat for any sign of movement, “Well, it certainly is dead…I wonder where it came from.” She looked through the trees, “Damien I don’t want you near these tree’s until I say otherwise, okay?” He nodded, “You didn’t touch the cat, did you?”

Damien bit his bottom lip and nodded, “Only to double check that it was dead!”

Ginny picked him up, “You’re not supposed to touch any animal that you think is dead, Dami.” She picked him up and shifted him so he was on her hip. “You know what Grandma Molly would say if she knew this.”

Damien giggled and tried to mock his Nana, “Damien Jamal Malfoy, how do you expect to get into Heaven if you keep causing so much mischief!?”

Ginny nodded as they entered the house, “Just like your Uncle Fred and Uncle George.”

“But…I think I have an answer for her now.”

“Oh really? What is that?” Ginny asked as she sat Damien down on the sink counter in the bathroom. She opened a cabinet and pulled out anti bacterial soap.

“I’d keep running in and out and in and out and keep slamming the door until someone said, ‘For Heaven’s sake, Damien, come in or stay out!’”

Ginny laughed as she rubbed the soap on both of their hands, “What do you say we get dinner ready for when Daddy gets home?”

Damien nodded, hopped off the counter and ran into the kitchen.

+_+_+_+_+_+_+_+

After dinner and having a talk with Damien about his broom and dead things, Draco prepared to tuck his son into bed.

“Do you want a glass of water?”

Damien shook his head and laughed as Draco picked him up and swung him over his shoulder, “Dad!” Damien pounded his small fists against Draco’s back. “Put me down!” Draco then held Damien in front of him by his feet.

“Where’s my money, squirt!?” Draco shook him up and down, causing Damien to laugh like a maniac.

Draco then tossed Damien down on his bed, only to have Damien jump on him and try to pull him down onto the bed. Damien ticked his father’s stomach until he surrendered.

“Okay, now into bed before your mum comes in and has it out with us.” Draco tucked Damien in and kissed him on the forehead, “Goodnight, Dami, Love you.”

“Love you too, Dad.”

Draco couldn’t help but smile, no matter how many times he heard that, it would never get old.

Draco made sure he left one candle burning in Damien’s room before walking to the end of the hall to his room. He took off his shirt and pants and slipped into bed next to his wife. She turned around to face him, “I missed you today.” She rolled on top of him and grinned as he let out a low moan. She left a trail of wet kisses along his jaw line before finally meeting his lips with hers. Before she could get her tongue out, something interrupted them.

“Da-ad.”

Ginny sat up and Draco put his hands on her hips, “Yes, Damien?”

“I’m thirsty. Can you bring me a glass of water?”

“No Dami, you had your chance, go back to sleep.”

When they heard nothing else Draco pulled Ginny’s head back down to his and Ginny ground her hips into his as her hands traveled up his chest.

“Da-aad.”

Draco sighed into Ginny’s mouth. She sat up again, “What?” He nearly whined.

“I’m thirsty! Can you please bring me a class of water?”

“I told you, no. If you ask again I will put a silencing spell on you.” Ginny smacked Draco on the arm, “I’m kidding.” He told her.

When nothing else came from him Draco rolled over so he was on top. He nibbled on her ear and she purred, Draco’s favorite sound. His mouth met hers again and she slipped her hand into his boxers. He let in a shuddering breath as she began to stroke him.

“Daaa-aaaad!”

Draco could have died; he laid the upper half of his body against Ginny’s. “What!?” He asked, though it came out as a growl.

“When you come in to put the silencing charm on me, can you bring a glass of water?”

Ginny giggled and slowly pushed Draco off of her, “Just get him some water.”

Draco grumbled and got out of the bed; he slipped on a pair of pajama pants and went into the kitchen to get his son a glass of water.

Once in Damien’s room he handed him the glass, and waited for him to finish. “Do you have to go to the bathroom? Because, this is the only time I’m going to ask you.”

Damien nodded, “Okay, good. Go back to sleep.”

Damien snuggled under the covers and closed his eyes. Draco left his sons room for the second time that night and walked back into his room. “Gin?” He said as he approached the bed, only to find Ginny fast asleep.

“Bloody hell!” He said as he took off his pajama pants and climbed into bed next to his wife. “Molly Weasley is definitely going to have a visit from one of her grandchildren tomorrow.” Draco put an arm around Ginny’s waist and placed a chaste kiss on her back and fell into an almost peaceful slumber.
