Considering how busy being a new mother has made her, she's still managed to find the time to arrange a guest room and a door from Milliways for Scorpius. Some of it had been the maids' doing, but Mia had done a lot to help.
She waits in the nursery, Cepheus fortunately settling down after his latest change and feeding. Once Scorpius arrives, the guard just outside of her quarters will greet him and notify her.
Comments
Mia carefully takes Cepheus, who begins to calm down in her hold.
"Oh, now what's upsetting you, little darling?" she asks, tugging over a little fist for a soft kiss. "Papa said you were fine. Silly dear, making a fuss for no reason."
But while he has his father's ear, Mia seemingly handling the baby for now, he lowers his voice to add,
"Er, could I talk to you about something though? Later, I mean, when you've got the time."
"Of course, you can always talk to me. And whenever you like," he commented back in a soft voice.
In a louder tone, "I suppose I'm not Cepheus's favorite this week." A small sigh at that.
Mia gives Nash a playful "punch" on the shoulder when she has Cepheus on her shoulder once again.
"Oh don't be ridiculous, Beloved," she says when her attention is turned to Draco again. "Everyone knows boys idolize their fathers. Before long he'll be begging you to teach him how to fly on his toy broom. Why, Scorpius has already said Cepheus is behind on his Quidditch practice."
And the other thing too, Scorpius supposes, but he's not about blurt that.
"He should be in training right now. Maybe that's why he was fussing, he already knows the importance of missing practice."
"Hope he doesn't fly like Jessica," Nash remarks.
"Don't even joke about that!" she starts, the sudden jolt causing a bit of renewed fussing from Cepheus.
"Oh, I'm sorry, darling," Mia softly coos to him, hopefully lulling him back to calmness.
Badly, he's assuming.
"She was the one barking orders on Mia's behalf while Mia was busy breaking Draco's hand," Nash quips.
Mia looks at him for a moment before she says, "He means she helped with the birth."
Nash continues with, "And she was the one steering our first airship when it crashed. That was a long fall."
Which this is probably not easing Mia's fears of young Cepheus falling from a broom that he thinks to add, "But, toy brooms are completely safe. You can't even go very high on them at all. And our magic would safe us very any serious injuries anyway."
He pauses, thinking about all the accidents in Quidditch with a grimace.
"Mostly."
Draco added, "We'll monitor when he can fly of course. I remember Mum following me around incessantly until my father reassured her I was fine."
"Oh, come on," Nash says. "Like anyone would let anything happen to Cepheus. Worst he's ever gonna suffer growing up is scraped knees with how calm everything is."
Mia just takes a moment to look at her baby, already the worried Mother Hen.
