Regulus was stressed out. He didn't like the feeling that he wasn't a good parent or that he was inherently doing something wrong. He didn't like having to be stern with Castor or Bella when it was clear they were already upset. He certainly didn't like the assumption that they were going to be like their parents. He wondered if Linette was like that with him or if it was just his family. He could tell that Narcissa was stressed out, too. It was their first attempts at parenting and it made it extra stressful when they didn't get things quite right. Still, he would rather have Narcissa for his parenting partner than anyone else. If Linette showed up, of course, she would be Castor's mother, but for now, Narcissa could play the mothering role.

As Castor had requested a hug and a story before bed, Regulus complied. He had even tucked him in and pressed a kiss to his forehead, pulling the door closed behind him. He'd waited for a little bit to make sure he was asleep. Once he was sure of it, he grabbed a bottle of wine before slipping out of the room and over one door. He knocked lightly on the door. Hopefully after a couple glasses of wine everything would start to feel better.
