"Darling, it's snowing," Hermione marveled at the scene before them.

"You know what else?" Draco replied, staring adoringly at his wife. "Scorpius is also four months old today."

Their efforts were rewarded when, for the first time, Scorpius slept through the night without refusing Draco once. The couple woke up exhausted but well-rested to snow falling outside their window, framing Scorpius's bassinet just so.

Hermione stopped refusung when Draco told her to rest in the mornings and when he insisted to do night feeding. She felt like a bad parent the first few nights that Scorpius cried, but would later be reassured by her husband. After all, she needed to take care of herself too.

Still, they persevered. After all, they needed to learn as much as possible in this stage for future children that they definitely wanted to have. Draco spent more time with Scorpius despite his being latched onto Hermione. He would take him from her as soon as he was sound asleep.

Narcissa had attempted to console them by sharing that Draco had been exactly the same at that age but outgrew it by the time he was four months old. To Draco, that was a relief. To Hermione, it was two more months of being lost in the routine dictated by the tiny terror.

Draco did the most he could do but even at two months old, Scorpius was stubborn and decisive. He had his mum memorized and refused to be tricked by used shirts draped across his father's torso.
