 HEAD UNDER WATER, NOW I CAN'T BREATHE,AND THIS TIME I BLAME YOU. LOOKING OUT FOR YOU TO HOLD MY HAND.
IT FEELS LIKE I COULD FALL, NOW LOVE ME RIGHT, LIKE I KNOW
YOU CAN.WE COULD LOSE IT ALL. WHEN LOVE TAKES OVER,
YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T DENY. I WOULDN'T STOP IT IF I COULD.
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -Oh boy. Well, this isn't what she had expected for the night. No, this was definitely not what she was expecting at all. Maybe some dinner, the usual fooling around, the sleep, and then all over again the next morning. But never did she want any of this to come out in the way that it had. Over the years, Sutton had always wondered what it would have been like if she had kept Scorpius as her own. Draco had bought her her own apartment and anything else that she needed or wanted. Would that have been any different if she kept her son with her? Now that she was thinking about it, it didn't seem logical that he would. It was still his son too, after all. But she did have to remember that he was still married at the time. And the news coming out that he cheated on his wife with a sixteen year old would have been devastating for both of them. The press wouldn't have left her alone, the Malfoy name would have been dragged through the mud. After all that Draco had done to restore it, it would have been tragic. And then what kind of life would Scorpius have had?
It wouldn't have been that great of a life. No, pretending that Astoria was his mother was the best thing that they could have done, for him. And for her, too. Sutton was able to finish her years at Hogwarts worry free, without the rumors of her having a child with Draco Malfoy, sure, the news had gotten around that she was pregnant, kind of hard to hide the stomach. But no one ever knew who the baby's father was, and for all they cared, it was just some guy that didn't want it. Everyone thought that she had given it up for adoption. And that was just fine and dandy for the seventeen year old Sutton. She was able to graduate with top honors and getting the job that she had always wanted. And now that she was a little older, (legal anyway), she was able to see Draco in the Ministry without people wondering what the hell was going on.
Sutton rubbed her forehead in agony. "Well yes, but not like this." she muttered. This wasn't how she wanted her son to find out. She had always imagined how it would play out. Draco would have divorced Astoria by now, letting Scorpius get used to life without her, which wouldn't have been too hard, seeing as she was gone all the time. Sutton would come over every now and then, letting him get used to seeing her, perhaps even bonding with her. And then one night, they would all sit down together and talk about it. That way, she figured that there would be no tough questions, no feelings of abandonment, and no wives in the way. But she wasn't so lucky, obviously. She knew that Draco had been wanting to tell him for some time now, but she didn't think it was the right thing to do with Astoria still in the picture.
Scorpius was either hurt, confused mostly, or just angry. She couldn't tell which at this point. Oh, this was going to be a long night. Sutton wanted to answer everything for him, but she would have to sit by and let Draco tell the story. Nobody really had a choice with Lucius still in the family. Hell, he was the main reason Sutton had been so lenient with keeping the secret. She was terrified of the man. But now that he was no longer in the picture, it would be easier to try and ease her way into the picture. Astoria was still a problem though.

Scorpius was currently in a state of shock. He didn’t know what to do. Should he be angry? Should he be excited? He wasn’t even sure. On one hand, he was happy that Astoria wasn’t his mother, which explained a lot. But at the same time, he was upset about it. Sure, he knew Sutton, but he didn’t really know her. To him, she was just his father’s friend that he slept with every now and then. Sutton was shocked that Draco blurted it out. Scorpius couldn’t blame her. You couldn’t say something like that and not have a slightly negative reaction towards you from others around you.
This was a lot to take in. The glare towards his father lessened as he explained the situation. So, grandfather was mostly to blame. Scorpius wasn’t really surprised. That man was insane. He ran his hand through his hair and sighed. “That explains a lot,†he muttered. Not as many questions went through his mind as he expected. Just a couple. One in which he guessed the answer too, but he was going to ask it anyway. “Does mum know?†he asked. He doubted she did, but he had to ask anyway. To him, Astoria was still his mother. He grew up with her. Not Sutton. He grew up around Sutton. There was a big difference.
He looked at Sutton. Now that he knew she was his real mother, he did notice some similarities between them. “I don’t want to sound rude, but birth mother or not, you’re still just Sutton to me,†he stated. There was no way that she could be anything more to him right now. He sat back down on the chair, closer to the edge. He looked back over at Draco. “So, let me guess…mum pissed you off, you went out…found some cute girl, slept with her and knocked her up…obviously. Sound about right?†He knew his dad. That’s what he usually did and since his mother left a lot, it wasn’t that hard to have the girls come here.

there are certain people you just keep coming back to ! [/FONT][/i]  SHE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUMAYBE YOU WANT HER, MAYBE YOU NEED HER,[/FONT] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[/font] tagged for Scorpius && Sutton with 543 words wearing this.[/i][/center] He was having a hard time trying to read his son’s face. And breathing. Sutton was easy to read, she was angry that he had spoiled her plans. Though he didn’t know about them personally, he knew her, and had the feeling that she would have wanted to do this a little more quietly. And when she was informed of the situation. ”Sutton, just calm down.” he ushered, resting his hand on her knee. She really needed to learn how to relax in high pressure situations like this one. He would imagine that she was better in things like this then she was, but he would have to kick her into it. Now the only thing he needed now was for Astoria to walk in. Why not? Might as well take of every angle of the situation at once.
But in reality, Draco knew that this was the best for everyone. Astoria didn’t do anything. She went to work and paid for herself, sure. But she was always gone on business trips, Draco wasn’t even sure that’s what it was anymore. And if she was working so hard, why was she always asking him for money? She only showed him affection when she wanted something and it was very deluded affection at that. He spent most of his time in his study and barely came out. That was not what he wanted when his so called wife was home. He wanted to be able to roam around without worrying how much money she was going to hit him up for. Draco was sick of it and he wanted to know if Scorpius noticed just how sick and tired of it he really was.
”Now is better than any.” he finally commented. More than anything, he wished Lucius had stayed out of it altogether. He had screwed up his life since birth and now he had done the same to his son. All because he had wanted to keep the name of his family clean. And well, Draco wanted the same thing, but not with Astoria. He nodded when his son finally spoke. If he thought about it, Scorpius looked more like Sutton then himself. It was a little odd, now that he studied the two. Of course, Scorpius had his hair and his facial features, but he had her eyes and it looked like her ears. Combined, there was no doubt now that Sutton and Draco were his parents, not Astoria and Draco.
He laughed when Scorpius asked if Astoria knew. ”She couldn’t have children. Why would I bring you home and say that you were her son? I’m not daft.” He was joking of course, but it was still a logical fact. Draco gave his son a ‘be nice or I will kill you’ kind of look. They shouldn’t start off on the wrong foot. ”It doesn’t matter what happened, Scorpius. This is what is happening now, okay? She is your mother. Eventually, she will be moving in. I’m divorcing Astoria and that’s the end of it.” he snapped, standing up. Draco wasn’t going to start going easy on the situation now that it was out in the open. God damn it, he wanted his happy life and he wanted it now.

Sutton wanted to go home. Right now. Though she was a part of this entire situation, this seemed like it should be something they should talk about by themselves. Like a father – son moment kind of thing. But she knew that if she tried to stand to leave, Draco would have her by her hair. Sure, he liked her more than Astoria, but she was still afraid of him in the way that she knew what he could do. Draco was kind, but he was fierce. There was no way that she was going to cross him. Especially now. She actually looked to the side when he told her to calm down. He was already treating her like they were married, and while she didn’t mind the affection, she didn’t think that right now was the best time. Then again, he always did have the habit of diving in a problem head on. So getting over the initial fact that he was moving on to her already was easy for him.
Among the phone calls at night and the meetings in his office at the ministry, Draco sent her a number of owls at night. She didn’t really have to write back either, he would just send them one after the other, venting. It was always about Astoria too. She knew that he was becoming tired of dealing with her and she wanted to help him, but she could only do that in small amounts. Her heart broke for him because she knew that he was only putting up with this because of his father. He was miserable again because of Lucius. And now Scorpius would be being put through pain because Lucius really hurt him too.
”I don’t think he wants Astoria taken away from him right now.” she argued. In her mindset, he was used to the woman. He grew up with her and he was comfortable around her, when she was around anyway. It was only normal that she would think that Scorpius wanted Astoria over her. And when he spoke to her, it only confirmed her thoughts. Well, she did have high hopes. She should have just kept her head down, she didn’t want to look anywhere. Why did Draco have to do this to her today? Now she was getting uncomfortable and kind of just wanted to erase her memory. All she had ever wanted was a son that loved her and a husband that did the same. And now this.
Scorpius’s explanation about how it happened was a little harsh and she could feel her skin crawl. It sounded so wrong when you thought of it that way. True, Sutton had gotten in over her head when she got involved with Draco, but in her defense she didn’t know he was married when she was sixteen. She found out, obviously. She was a little surprised at what Draco said next. Divorce? Moving? Wait, what? When was this decided? ”Draco. Do you really think this is the best idea?”

Okay, so Astoria knew that Scorpius wasn’t hers. He was just checking. He hated it when his father laughed at answering certain questions. Half the time, Scorpius didn’t know if he was ever being serious with him or always just kidding. He knew when he was being overly serious. His voice was always so stern. But when he answered him, the tone was different, but he let it go. Scorpius rolled his eyes at his father’s look. He knew that look all too well. What else could he do to him? Nothing, that’s what. Scorpius kept his father’s secret from his mother. He didn’t want to see them separate over his father’s little flings, but he knew Draco couldn’t take more of his mother’s nonsense.
Whoa. Moving in?! His eyes widened and he stood up again, glaring at Draco. “Don’t you think having her move in is just a little too quick?” he asked. He hadn’t even divorced Astoria yet and he already wanted Sutton to move in. “You’re getting a little hasty about this, aren’t you? Why don’t you get mum out of the bloody picture first before you start dragging someone else into it! Did you even think about how I would feel about this entire situation? Probably not,” he muttered angrily. He didn’t want Astoria replaced. Not yet at least. His father was moving way too fast with all of this.
“I know you and mum haven’t gotten on very well for a bit, but I think you’re being ridiculous. Hate mum all you want, sleep with Sutton on the side, I don’t care. Just put a little more thought into what you’re planning on doing. Seriously think about it.” Would he like it if grandfather did that to him? Scorpius doubted that. Hell, he could picture his father having a tantrum about it. Narcissa was wonderful and Scorpius knew how much his father loved her. Bet he didn’t think of it like that.

[/FONT][/i] SHE IS RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOUMAYBE YOU WANT HER, MAYBE YOU NEED HER,[/FONT] - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -[/font] tagged for Scorpius && Sutton with 543 words wearing this.[/i][/center] In his mind, it was all logical. It fit. And it just seemed right. He couldn’t stand being with a woman that he didn’t love. That he never loved. Putting on this kind of charade was just wearing him out. He couldn’t do it anymore and he refused to try. There was just no use in trying to act like the perfect husband. When she got home, Draco was going to tell Astoria everything. That he had been sleeping with other woman for the past… two years, was it? He couldn’t even remember! It was kind of bad when you couldn’t think of something as important as that, but he didn’t even think it mattered anymore. Once she found out that he had slept with one other woman, she would flip. But once she realized that Sutton was also in that equation, all hell would break loose. It would probably be best if Scorpius wasn’t here for that conversation. He could join in in the aftermath. That seemed like the best thing.
Draco figured that he needed to work on his communication skills a little more. He was always throwing owls in Sutton’s direction, along with phone calls and other little meetings. There was no end to it really. But she listened, and that was something that Draco wasn’t used too. To someone actually listening to him. Not just hearing him speak and agreeing with him just because of who he was. Sure, that worked well at the ministry, but when it came to personal life, he needed the hard criticism. It made him feel better, like he was actually a person and the other person actually cared about him because they were giving him hard facts about his life. He liked that. And he supposed his personal expressions could use some work as well.
He had unwillingly adopted his stern voice and straight face from his father. And unwanted trait, but something that he couldn’t exactly help. The only difference was that he was always trying to control it. Like answering his son. Sometimes he didn’t listen, and he couldn’t help but react naturally. Hadn’t he just said his mother couldn’t get pregnant? Well, either way. ”Well I do.” he mumbled in retort to Sutton’s concerning statement. Draco wanted Astoria as far away from his as possible. Forever. He didn’t really take into consideration what Scorpius might want in this situation. He just figured that since she was never around, he would welcome the change. No matter how sudden it might be. But he raised his eyebrow in annoyance when his son reacted negatively to his new found thoughts. Sutton too. Now he was being turned on. And he was getting sick of that happening to him.
Shaking his head, he paced the floor in front of him. ”Scorpius, do you even understand what I’ve been going through the past few years?” Oh shit. He pushed at the tears in his eyes. No. No, tears would show weakness. He didn’t need that right now. ”I have busted my arse working to keep the house, to keep on this game of pretending that I’m perfectly happy with my life when I’m just not. Astoria just takes what she wants from me. Money, items, whatever she can get her hands on. I’m sick of being used. I’m sorry if this is drastic, but I have to take control.”

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Scorpius seemed flabbergasted. And she was too, if she really stopped to look at the situation. Here she was, sitting in a room with two Malfoys, who were fighting with each other about her moving in. Something that she didn’t put on the table, by the way. She felt like she should be a fly on the wall. Sutton didn’t want to be in the middle of this, not at all. And she certainly didn’t want to be the reason that Scorpius ended up unhappy. Hell, he was her son, whether he wanted it to be true or not. And while she disliked Astoria as much as Draco did, she wasn’t about to threaten her only son’s home life. There had to be some kind of medium that they could all reach. Because Draco’s version of the plan wasn’t going to work. It just wasn’t. He was going about it all wrong and she felt dirty just thinking about it.
She was usually a very verbal person, voicing her opinions at work and such. She was working on becoming the level head, she had to make herself known or she would be overlooked for the position in a blink. And she wouldn’t let that happen. Ever. But right now, sitting on the couch, she didn’t really know her place. When she was alone with Draco, she could talk to him like any other person. But one that she trusted with her entire being. She did love him. Really. But with Scorpius involved, she didn’t want to say something wrong. Because it just might make it worse for Draco in the end. But he did seem to be doing that perfectly fine on his own. What the hell was he thinking anyway?
Sutton was right to assume that Scorpius wanted Astoria around for a little while longer. It was sudden and, quite frankly, wrong to take someone you’ve grown up with your whole life from right under your feet. Sutton couldn’t understand Draco’s sudden urge. He had been living with her for seventeen years and now he just wanted her gone. Just like that, out of the blue, with no warning. It wasn’t fair to her either. She was now being forced to be in the middle of this mess that he decided to make and she didn’t like it at all. ”He’s right. You’re thinking about this all wrong. Give him some time, for Merlin’s sake.” she said. That sounded right, though in her head she was screaming at him to just stop. This was all too fast and so so wrong.
And now he was pacing, which was never good in her experience. Something else was wrong here. It wasn’t just Astoria, but she couldn’t place it. And were those… tears? Oh, Draco was starting to cry? Now she was nervous as he started to speak again. Perhaps this was deeper then she originally imagined. Sutton didn’t know what Draco lived with everyday, only what he told her, and that was all very filtered. He told her what he wanted to tell her, for her own good or because he just didn’t want to vent about it. She didn’t know. But what the hell was going on now?

* * * * *
Scorpius was so sick and tired of this entire conversation. He just wanted to walk away from the entire thing, pretend it never happened, and get on with his life. All he wanted to do was have a nice weekend at home. But no…his father decided to ruin it by telling him all this crap about his mother not actually being his mother. Why did he and Sutton have to wait so long to tell him? He could’ve handled it better when he was younger. His mother was always gone anyway. They couldn’t do it before? His eyebrow rose slightly at his father’s questions. “How could I not notice? Mum was always gone, you were always locked away in your study. Why do you think I’ve been spending so much time at Rissa’s house?”
He ran his hand over his face while Draco explained. “If this has been going on for years, why didn’t you just end it with mum then? Why did you have to wait until now to take control? You could’ve divorced her ages ago, and got back together, or whatever, with Sutton then.” He thought that was pretty logical. Sure, maybe he wouldn’t want his mom to leave the family while he was still young, but he could’ve gotten over it. He just thought now his dad was being a little selfish. “You know what,” he said with a sigh, “Do whatever you want. Divorce mum, kick her out and have Sutton move in. I don’t care anymore.” He walked over to the chair, snatched up the bag of sweets and walked past Draco a bit. “Take some breaths, get your thoughts together, and try and be rational about all of this. I’m going upstairs,” he said, walking back towards the hall.
“I just wanted to come home for a weekend. If I knew it was going to be like this, I would’ve stayed at school,” he muttered as he walked away. He paused for a moment and glanced back at the two. “And if you’re gonna drag Sutton in all this, listen to her. You wouldn’t have gotten all worked up if you had just shut up and talked it over with her.” He shook his head and made his way back to the stairs. Maybe with him out of the room, Draco would think things over and maybe see a better way to approach this. Scorpius couldn’t really see a better way for this. Reaching his room, he pushed the door open and went in. He collapsed on his bed and stared at the ceiling. He was hoping to maybe tell Draco about Lily and see what his reaction would be, but now…it didn’t really see like a good idea.
