Chapter 8

Draco was getting ready for the day, picking between dress shirts to wear. He had a blue t-shirt and dress pants on at the moment, but couldn't decide on a shirt.

"Teddy, what color should I wear today?" Draco asked. He received no answer. "Teddy?"

All Draco heard was a squeal and then Teddy was out the door, running downstairs. He was only in a diaper.

"No no no!" Draco yelped as he ran out to find him. He ran downstairs and found him trying to run away from everyone, thinking it was a game. "Teddy! Get over here!" Draco gasped.

"Catch me!" Teddy told Draco then ran off again.

"Teddy Remus Malfoy, you are in a diaper!" Draco cried as he ran around to try and find his son. Harry snickered at him, having Draco punch him.

"Ow you jerk," Harry laughed.

"Shut up!" He hissed at Harry. He turned back to Teddy. "And you-" he reached and picked him up, putting him on is hip. "-Almost gave me a heart attack."

"Good?" Teddy asked confused.

"No, that's bad thing," Draco told him as he went back upstairs. Teddy gasped.

"Sowwy daddy!" Teddy gasped.

Draco chuckled and turned to Harry. "Watch him while I get changed?"

"Yeah sure," Harry said, running up the stairs. Draco went to his room and set Teddy down on the bed.

"Now, you have to stay with uncle Harry, okay?" Draco asked. Teddy nodded and crawled under the covers. "Okay,"

Draco quickly took off his shirt and went to put another one on, until Harry gasped.

"Draco," he said in a hushed voice. "I...no, no why?" He asked as he grabbed Draco's arm, motioning to all of the scars on it.

"Daddy wha' that?" Teddy asked as he crawled over.

"Nothing," Draco said quickly. "It's nothing Teddy, just a part of my...tattoo,"

"Oh," Teddy said, then sat back down on the bed.

"Draco, you cut at it." Harry said.

"Yeah? So what, I wanted it gone." Draco told him as he put his shirt back on.

"That's not okay!" Harry exclaimed. "You should be-"

"Well too bad, Potter. I was already stupid enough to try and get it out of my life. It can't disappear. This is who I am forever. I can't get rid of it, but I'll keep trying until I can," Draco snapped, going to pick Teddy up.

"Daddy?" Teddy asked wearily. "Okay?"

"I'm fine, baby. It's okay," Draco told him and kissed his cheek.

"Draco." Harry said sternly, taking Teddy from his grip.

"Hey-!"

"No." Harry took Teddy downstairs and set him down on a couch. He turned to Hermione. "Watch him."

Harry ran back upstairs and shoved Draco down on his bed.

"Potter-" Draco gasped.

"We're talking this out. You and me. And no one else will hear anything we say. This is between you and me, okay? What you say stays in here." Harry said as he climbed off of Draco.

"I don't want to do this." Draco crossed his arms and looked away. He couldn't leave since Harry had a grip on his wrist.

"Please, Draco. You need to be able to let everything out," Harry whispered desperately. "If you don't, emotions will just bubble up and you'll break down,"

"Fine."
