Narcissa wasn't due for another week, so when she started to feel the unpleasant pinch of contractions twinging through her lower abdomen, she'd put it down to Braxton Hicks contractions and tried to ignore them. She rubbed her stomach as she played with Valentine, wincing a little as a particular strong contraction ran through her. If she waited another hour Augustus would be home from work, and delivering the baby, if she got everyone all worked up now, would probably take that long anyway.

Another contraction hit, much closer than she'd been expecting, and Narcissa gasped in pain. Waiting would also slow down the drugs. "V-Val, can you use the Floo for Mummy?" Narcissa asked, closing her eyes and leaning back against the couch. "The baby is coming."

Augustus glanced at Lucius for a moment and shook his head. "You stay with her because you have to. Because you're afraid of your father. Why would I want to be with her when she can't be with only me?"

Valentine looked at his Mummy and then the baby. "She's got black hair." He said, reaching out and petting her as if she was a cat.

Merlin gave Draco a guilty look. "She.. Yeah." He nodded. "And she's pale. Grey eyes. Like you."

Lucius didn't think of himself as afraid of his father. He just preferred if the world didn't know he was gay. Tom went on being married to Christina, even though he was... Well, Lucius didn't like to think about it too much. "I don't know," he said. "You don't have to stay with her if you don't want to. It's not like you're married to her."

Narcissa smiled at Valentine petting his sister and nodded. "She does," she agreed. "Do you think it'll be curly like yours?" She shifted so she could cuddle Valentine to her side, kissing the top of his head. "We're going to be happy together, aren't we? Mummy loves you and the new baby so much."

"She's gorgeous. I tried to warm Valentine up to the idea of having a little sister. Why did you tell him Mother wouldn't pay attention to him anymore? Of course she will." Draco looked down at his mother and the baby again. She didn't look very much like Augustus, did she? Which reminded him. "Where's Augustus? I thought you were going to make his boss let him leave."

"I love her." Augustus shook his head and began to cry again. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "I don't know what to do. How can I be with her now?"

"I don't know, Mummy." Valentine looked down at the baby and frowned. "I don't wanna be not special. I has curls that are special."

"He was here until she arrived." Merlin told him, giving him another guilty look. "The baby isn't his."

Augustus needed to make up his mind, that was what he needed to do. Lucius ran a hand through his hair. "I don't know," he said. "Evan's never cheated on me." Although, if Lucius was honest, he would never leave Evan anyway. "If you can't be around the child, you shouldn't have to be. You're not responsible for it. Someone else is."

"Baby, you're always going to be special," Narcissa said, smiling at Valentine and running her fingers through his curly hair. She kissed the top of his head. "Your curls are gorgeous, but they're not what makes you special." She looked down at her daughter again. "I don't think she'll have curly hair. I think it'll be straight like Mummy's and Draco's."

"The --" Draco stared at Merlin for a moment, then looked down at the baby in his mother's arms. "What?" He frowned, looking back at Merlin. "Do you know whose it is? Has she said? Who else could it belong to?" His mother was sleeping around?

	Valentine looked down at the baby for a moment, then leaned in and kissed the baby on the forehead. "What are you naming her, Mummy?" He asked, smiling up at her. Merlin sighed softly. He couldn't lie to Draco. He ran a hand through his hair. "She's mine." He replied and then shook his head. "She's mine and... I don't know. What to do. I'm sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I don't know yet," Narcissa said, smiling when Valentine kissed her forehead. "Maybe you could help name her. Merlin's going to help too." Narcissa kissed the little girl as well. "What sort of name do you think would suit her?"

"She --" Draco stared at Merlin and then glanced at his mother and the baby. The black hair, the pale skin. "Fuck. You..." He frowned, grabbing Merlin's arm and tugging him a way's away from his mother's bed and Valentine. "You fucked my mother?"

	Valentine looked down at the baby. "Snow." He told his Mother as he looked up at her and smiled. "She looks like Snow White. And she's beautiful." "She-" Merlin looked back at Draco. And then it happened. He burst into tears and he turned away, banging his head against the wall. "A couple of times. She... Fuck." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

Narcissa hummed softly, looking down at the baby. "She does, doesn't she? She'll be our little princess." She smiled back at Valentine. "I think that would be a very nice name for her. We'll have to see what Merlin thinks too."

Draco hadn't expected the tears and he really hadn't expected Merlin to bang his head against the wall like that. He grabbed him, pulling him away from the wall before he could do anymore damage. "Stop it! Christ, Merlin. Just... use your words."

Valentine smiled at that and nodded. "Snow. I like the name Snow." He told her and then pet at the baby again. "Do I have to share Dilbert?" He asked, giving her a very serious look. Draco didn't have to share Charlie.

"I don't know how." Merlin snapped and looked at Draco. He closed his eyes and wiped at them. "Fuck. I found out about you and Charlie and I was upset. And she just... made me feel better."

Narcissa laughed softly. "Of course not," she said. "Dilbert is all yours, Valentine. We'll get Snow a toy of her own. You can help pick it out for her and maybe Snow will get you a present too. For being such a good brother."

Draco pursed his lips, stepping back. It wasn't like he had feelings for Merlin. Not really. They'd only just met and, before Merlin showed him his memories, everything he'd heard or seen about the other boy had been less than favourable. It was just that he'd slept with his mother and then impregnated her.

"Right," he said. "You... Fuck." He was not used to dealing with this kind of thing. No one was used to dealing with this kind of thing. "Well... don't do it again, all right?" He looked at Merlin for a moment. "I feel like I should punch you or something. I'm just... I don't know. Why would my mother sleep with my... fiance?"

"I'm sorry." And he really was. Merlin stared back at Draco for a moment, wanting to crawl in somewhere and just die. He'd never meant to hurt Draco and he felt like he had. Like he'd really hurt him. He closed his eyes and sighed, then wrapped his arms around the other boy.

"I know you're not my Draco." He whispered, then kissed Draco's temple. "But, I love you. And I just... I fucked everything up."

Draco sighed, resting his forehead on Merlin's shoulder for a moment. He still didn't really feel connected to anyone but Pansy here. Even his family. He'd barely seen his father, because apparently even a whole new universe couldn't change some things, and now his mother was sleeping with Draco's... boyfriend, essentially. She'd probably known he wasn't happy about the engagement, but still.

"This time travel thing fucking sucks," he said. He pulled away from Merlin. "Let's go see the baby again. Before Valentine convinces my mother to name it something to match Dilbert."
