Lucius Malfoy failed to hide his disappointment as he looked down upon his newborn child.

"I suppose we can always try again," he drawled, giving a disdainful click of the tongue.

Except that Narcissa could not hear on account of still being unconscious from the horrific and difficult birth she'd just endured.

Which was lucky for Lucius because if she had been awake then he would be fearing for the future of his testicles right at that moment.

Something, he thought dolefully as he glanced down between the legs of the angry wriggling infant in the crib, that his daughter would certainly never have to worry about.
