Surprise (Draco Malfoy)

A/N: After the birth of his first son, Draco dreads returning to work and just wants to be with his son
Dad!Draco, Healer!Draco

3rd POV:
Draco let out another groan as he finished with another patient. It had been his first day back since the birth of Scorpius Malfoy. He became quite attached to Scorpius in the month in was off from work.

If you asked Draco 10 years ago where he would be, he would have never thought he would become a healer, married and now have a son.

"That is fifth sigh I've heard in the last hour." Dahlia said. Dahlia Archer was a co-worker of Draco and close friends with his wife. "Let me guess, you miss Scorpius?"

"Yeah I do." Draco answered. "I tried to stay home today but Y/n had to literally push me out of bed."

"I understand, the same thing happened to me when I had my daughter. I wish I could bring her to work, but doesn't really work out, so Fred takes to the joke shop." Dahlia said.

"Does it get better, not being there all the time?" Draco asked.

"When she was still a baby, it was hard because I did grow attached to her but now that's she older, I don't get all sad." Dahlia replied.

"Healer Malfoy!" A nurse called from down the hallway. "We need your assistance."

"Duty calls." He said to Dahlia before turning around.

But what Draco didn't know was, Dahlia made a quick phone call to Y/n and little Scorpius asking to help her with a little surprise with Draco.

"Finally coffee." Draco urged as he finished with his last patient before his lunch break.

"Healer Malfoy!" Dahlia called trying not to break out into a huge grin.

Draco let out a groan, wishing he could have his coffee in peace. "Yes?"

"You're needed in Exam Room 4." Dahlia ordered.

He let out a huff before stepping away from the coffee cart and walking towards the exam room. Oh, how he wished he was at home with his son and wife, but instead it had 4 more gursome hours.

"Hello I'm Healer-Y/n!" He walked into the room and looked up to see his wife and son on the table.

"Hello love." Y/n smile while cradling Scorpius in her arms.

"Hi my sweet boy." Draco walked over to Scorpius who was wide awake. "How have you been buddy? I missed you."

"Can you say, you missed Daddy too?" Y/n said to Scorpius.

"Hi." Draco whispered to his wife.

"Hey." She smiled back. "Heard you had a tough day?"

"Yeah, I missed you guys." Draco confessed wrapping his arm around his wife.

"Dahlia called me earlier saying how much she was bothered by your sighs and she thought Scorpius and I should give Daddy a visit at work." Y/n answered.

"She's a godsend." Draco smiled mentally reminding himself to thank her later.

It was these little moments Draco wished that could last forever. Him and his family, over the years Draco suffered suffered enough hardship and he wanted this moment to be forever.

He remembered the day Scorpius was first born, he was scared to pick him up, thinking he would drop him or scare him. He vowed that he wouldn't become like his father, cold, heartless, vile. He wanted Scorpius to have someone to look up to when he grows up.

But all good things, must come to an end. Dahlia had slowly opened the door to see the happy couple and the baby, sad that she had to end their moment. "Healer Malfoy." She whispered.

"I'll be out in a minute, thank you Dahlia." He gave her a small smile.

"Time to go." Y/n looked up at her husband.

"Sadly yes." Draco answered not wanting to leave.

"Hey, it's alright, you'll be home in no time, and the two of us will be waiting." Y/n reminded. "Now go and save some lives."

"I love you." He whispered kissing the top of her head.

"We love you too." Y/n said as Draco walked out of the door.

He took a deep breath before walking over to the nurse's station to grab the chart, where Dahlia was waiting. He was happy that he had a close friend with him who would do things like this for him.

"Thank you." Draco said to Dahlia.

"You're welcome, I know how hard it is to leave your kid." Dahlia smiled.

Only four more hours, Draco thought. Four hours until he can go back home to his wife and son.
