Warnings: None

Summary: Harry finally askes Draco something he's been wondering for over four months now.
A squeal followed by a giggle filled the air as Harry tickled a four month old Scorpius’ tummy. The infant then reached down and pulled the toes of his left foot into his mouth. Harry tickled him again and nearly received that foot to his face.
“You spoil him, Harry.” Draco said with a chuckle as he sat on the floor next to his dark-haired husband.
“There’s no such thing as spoiling an infant.” Harry said matter-of-factly as Scorpius began an attempt to roll onto his stomach. “It said so in two of the baby books I read.”
Draco laughed, partly at Harry’s words and partly at his son’s adorableness. “I see; now you’re Mr. Baby Expert.”
Harry flashed him a quick smile and replied with, “Yup.” Then he picked up Scorpius, who had successfully made it onto his stomach, and turned him around so that he was still facing them.
The two of them watched as the baby tried to wiggle his way forward to get closer to his parents. After a few failed back and forth rocks, Scorpius turned his attention to flipping onto his back again. Once he was face up, he reached out toward Harry and giggled at the upside down image.
Harry tickled the infant again and giggled with him before turning to his husband, looking less than amused. “Can I ask you something?”
“Of course, is something wrong?” Draco asked in response.
The brunette shook his head. “I’ve just been wondering something for a while, about four months to be exact.” Harry started. He glanced down at Scorpius before looking back up. “Not that I don’t think it suits him, but why did you pick Scorpius?”
Draco ran a hand through his hair and sighed. He knew Harry would’ve asked eventually. “When I was five, my parents told me I was going to have a baby brother or sister. If you thought I was bad during school, I was actually a lot worse when I was little. I was a spoiled brat and the thought of a sibling was horrifying because that meant I wouldn’t get as much attention.
“A few months later, mum told me that it was definitely a boy. By that time, the idea had grown on me and I was really excited to be a big brother. I wanted to help and mum let me go shopping with her so that I could pick out stuff that boys would like.” Draco paused and took a deep breath.
“What happened?”
“Mum went into labor early and the healers couldn’t stop it. He was stillborn. It’s been a while so I don’t exactly remember what happened; just there was nothing they could do about it until they got him out. When they finally did, it was too late, even with magic.” Draco morosely explained.
“And they were going to name him Scorpius.” Harry added when Draco didn’t continue.
Draco nodded and replied with a clipped, “Yeah.” There was a moment’s hesitation before he continued, “Surprisingly, father took it the hardest and he just became extremely cold after that. Mum sort of lost it for a while and I was too young to really understand what was going on.”
“I’m sorry.” Harry whispered and wrapped his arms around his husband’s neck.
The blonde smiled a little and returned the hug. “Don’t be. Nothing could be done about it then and nothing can be done about it now. Besides, I couldn’t possibly imagine our Scorpius with any other name.”
Nodding in agreement, Harry picked up baby Scorpius, held him tightly to his chest and stood up from the floor. “It’s your bedtime, little mister.” He softly said to the dark mop of hair snuggling into his shirt.
Draco got up as well, picking the blanket as he did so. The small family then made their way into the nursery to put the infant to bed.
By the time Harry reached Scorpius’ crib, the boy was nearly asleep already. He kissed the top of his head and waited for Draco to join them before laying him down.
After folding the blanket and setting on the change table, Draco moved to the crib to give his son a goodnight kiss. The parents then whispered goodnight and I love you to the now sleeping baby and Harry laid him in his crib.
For a few minutes, the couple just watched their tiny son sleep.
Harry sighed contentedly and leaned into Draco’s side. An around came around his shoulders and he whispered, “He’s perfect.”
“Of course he is, Harry.” Draco smiled and placed a kiss to the other’s temple. “He came from you.”
I figured that since Harry had reasons for his children's names, that Draco should have one too.
