The Magic Guild: Another Dinner Interrupted...

[gorgonfondness]

Mia is past her due date.

It's getting to the point where she can hardly stand the waiting. Draco being home for his paternity leave has helped, but he's also quite anxious. He did, however, have a brilliant idea to relax tonight: a lovely dinner much like Valentine's.

And Mia could use the relaxing. She's been feeling off all day...

"He'll grow into it. Cepheus will be enough for him for now," Draco remarked.

Narcissa briefly touched his shoulder with a fond smile before stepping back out to tell Lucius that he was now a grandfather.

Jessica just smiles at that and writes down his information (needing both Cepheus and Abraxas spelled multiple times for her) as well as getting his hand and footprints.

"Good size and color, all ten fingers and toes, looks like a keeper to me."

He's swaddled into his blanket again and Jess asks Draco, "Do you want to hold him?"

Draco blinked, and glanced between them worriedly for a moment. He didn't want to drop him or anything.

"I.. can?" Another glance at his wife.

"Of course you can," Mia says. "He's your son."

"If you're nervous, you can sit down with Mia again," Jess says. "It's easier to get used to holding a baby if you're sitting down."

He sat down carefully on the side of the bed so Mia would still be comfortable. He then held his hands, and would make sure to very carefully cradle the baby's head and body for support.

Jessica carefully places the baby in his arms. Cepheus promptly turns to snuggle more in Draco's hold and grasps onto his robe, blinking open a pair of sleepy grey eyes.

"I think someone's trying to say hello," Mia softly says, sitting up and carefully putting a hand on the baby, too.

Draco just kept staring down at his son with wonder and surprise. He was really here. A son, and he was perfect. He was compelled to promise that he would do right by him, that his son would never feel ashamed of his father, and he'd never be asked to do a terrible deed in his father's stead.
