Chapter 15: Harpies
Harry sighed, sitting uncomfortably in the waiting room at St. Mungos, Draco sat beside him and Narcissa on his other side, but he was still bloody uncomfortable. He was finally back in his chair, Draco had protested him 'straining' himself, but Narcissa had screamed herself hoarse at her son, explaining that he couldn't carry Harry everywhere, at least not yet. So with ill grace, Draco had caved, and now Harry was seated between his husband and mother-in-law, trying desperately to ignore the stony silence between the two. He was here for his Doctor's appointment with Healer Markins, the Healer who specialized in male pregnancy, he was recommended by Healer Jenkins and had already had his background looked into by both Draco and Lucius. Harry was a bit nervous, not that he would admit that to his already worried husband. He was worried about being a parent, would he be able to be a good parent? Stuck in a chair like he was? Would the pregnancy be dangerous for him? Draco would flip if it was to high risk, not that he blamed his husband, Draco worried constantly about Harry. Could he and Draco be parents? They're lives were already the constant talk of most gossip papers and they both received numerous threats to their lives, could they bring a child into this?
Harry sighed, he knew he needed to talk to someone about these worries, but he was also so happy. He had never thought he could have a family like this, a family with Draco and it made his stomach flutter as he thought about it. So he was torn, torn between everything he had always wanted and if he was making a good decision.
"Harry?" A loud, obnoxious voice distracted him from his musings, jerking his head up, he found himself staring at an irate Ginny Weasley. He sighed again, great, he needed this right now.
"H'lo Ginny" He muttered, feeling Draco's hand clamp down in his shoulder, he could practically see the glare his husband was giving the red headed 'harpy' as Draco called her in private.
"What are you doing in Mungo's Harry? Are you Sick? Oh, I knew Mum was right, you need to be back with us where you're taken care of properly" She said, completely ignoring the fact that Harry was with his husband and his mother-in-law. Harry opened his mouth to respond and tell Ginny to shove it when another voice disturbed him.
"Mr. Potter-Malfoy? Healer Markins is ready for you now" The nurse standing in the doorway called.
"Thank you" Harry said, letting a seething Draco push him away, closely followed by Narcissa.
"Stupid Weasel" Draco muttered, before composing himself in order to meet the new Healer.
"Just in here Mr. Malfoy, Healer Markins will be in in a moment" She said, making sure the family was comfortable in the small room.
Draco nodded, letting his mother absentmindedly thank the nurse as he carefully picked Harry up from his chair and settled him on the exam table.
Once Harry was settled, Draco shrank the chair and took a seat next to his mother, waiting for the Healer.
No one spoke, Harry was caught up in thoughts again, and Draco and Narcissa were both considered about the Weasley family and their desire to get so-called custody of Harry.
"Hello Mr. Potter-Malfoy, I'm Healer Markins" The Healer said as he came in the door, shaking Harry's hand.
"Harry please" Harry said gently, "And this is my husband Draco and mother-in-law Narcissa" Harry introduced.
"Pleasure to meet you all" Markins said, bouncing slightly in the balls of his feet. He was a tall man, standing at about six feet, he had brown hair speckled with grey and white, salt and pepper style. He had shining blue eyes and his demeanor and personality put Harry instantly at ease.
"Shall we see what's going on then? I'm sure you're all anxious" The Healer said, grinning as Harry nodded enthusiastically.
"You are aware of my husband's current health concerns?" Draco asked, standing up and moving to stand beside Harry's head as he helped his husband lay down.
"Yes, though I don't think it will be to much of a concern at this point. Many paralyzed people have successfully given birth and lead fruitful lives with their children" The Healer reassured, already beginning to ease some of Harry's and apparently Draco's fears.
"Alright then" Draco said, carding his fingers through Harry's unruly black hair.
"So, I'm just going to preform a few diagnostic charms in order to determine how far along you are, and if you're having multiples or not" Markins explained, "As well as if we need to change your diet to add any nutrients or if we need to put you on any potions" He added, smiling at Harry who had tensed slightly as he waved his wand. A few complicated hand movements later, the Healer was reading everything on a magick'ed piece of parchment.
"Ahh" He murmured, causing everyone in the room to look at him in surprise.
"Well Harry, it would see you're just under four weeks pregnant" He said, grinning softly, "And it would see you're carrying twins"

Ginny Weasley watched Harry and his so-called family go with the Healer. Something about the name jogged her memory and Ginny's mouth fell open.
"Shit" She muttered, rushing out of the waiting room and towards the nearest floo connection tossing the green powder into the fire and screeching out the name of her family home. Her mother had to know about this.

Hermione Grange-Weasley was sitting on the couch in her and Ron's home penning an angry letter to Theo Nott. The man had never said anything about Harry getting so sick from the thing she had placed in his mug, it was just supposed to get Harry to leave Malfoy and come back to them. She sighed, rubbing her large stomach lightly, any day now she would be giving birth and she couldn't wait. She wanted to meet the little person that had been inhabiting her stomach for these last nine months.
As she finished the letter her stomach twinged again, and she glanced at the clock on the wall. Her mind whirled for a moment, before she screeched out her husband's name and the flustered red head came rushing pell-mell into the room.
"Its time" Hermione snapped, sending Ron into a flurry of action, having practiced this every night for the last three months at his wife's insistence.

"Are you sure?" Molly Weasley growled, staring wide-eyed at her daughter.
"They were going to see Markins" Ginny said, "He specializes in male pregnancies, Harry must be pregnant" She said, looking disgusted.
"He has that ferret's baby inside him" She moaned, letting her head fall to the table.
"I knew that him marrying Malfoy would be disastrous. Harry's a child himself, he needs looking after, he doesn't need a child" Molly growled, "We have to get custody of Harry. I don't normally agree with abortion, but Harry's far to ill and weak to have a child. I shall take this to court, and when we get custody of Harry, we will make sure he gets an abortion" She said, her voice firm as she looked at her daughter.
"Harry needs us to be strong for him Ginny, don't worry he'll be back with us soon enough" She reassured her daughter, a manic gleam in her eye.

"Twins?" Lucius asked, staring wide eyed at his son and son-in-law, a glass of whiskey in his hand, as he gaped at the two.
"Yes twins" Draco said, holding a sleepy Harry comfortably in his lap. Harry's head rested on his shoulder, Draco's arms were wrapped around his waist, supporting his husband's weight effortlessly.
"What did the Healer say?" Lucius asked as Narcissa came back into the room, a small smile on her face.
"Because its multiples, Harry's pregnancy is higher risk" Draco responded as Narcissa lovingly draped a blanket over Harry and handed him a cup of warm tea. The sleepy man murmured his thanks, shifting lightly to sip the warm liquid.
"He'll be on bed rest once he hits his third month of pregnancy, and he's no longer allowed to apparate or floo anywhere" He said, sighing softly.
"He also needs a nutrient potion which I can have Sev make, and he needs to eat a lot more then he has been" He said the last part of the sentence in a stern voice, "He also insists on check-ups every two weeks, and that Harry not do anything stressful" He smiled, taking the now empty tea cup from Harry and setting it on the table before bundling Harry back up in the blanket.
"We were hoping Mum would move into our manor, since Harry'll be on rest and I can't get off work for a few more months, which is the end of the season" Draco explained, looking at his parents curiously.
"Of course, we'll both come" Lucius said, smiling at the two men.
"Why don't you two sleep here tonight and go home in the morning?" He offered, seeing how exhausted the raven-haired man was.
"Thanks Dad" Draco said, kissing Harry's forehead and standing carefully.
"Come on love, lets go to bed"
"Night" Harry called, cuddling into Draco, they had to talk, but they'd talk in the morning.

Lucius smiled at Narcissa, watching her flip through magazines with a familiar fervor. She was already shopping for the grandchildren, even though they couldn't tell the genders until the eighteenth week of pregnancy.
He glanced up in surprise as an owl flew through an open window, and he glanced at the clock.
"Who would owl us at this time of night" He grumbled, accepting the letter from the bird before shooing it out. He pulled open the official looking envelope and read over the parchment, before cursing softly.
"What?" His wife asked, closing the magazine she was currently exploring and looking at her husband worriedly.
"Those damn Weasleys" Lucius hissed, tossing her the letter. Narcissa raised an eyebrow at his language before reading over the letter.
"Custody? Of Harry?" She groaned, "Not this nonsense again. When will those bloody red heads realize he's an adult" She read the letter again.
"A hearing? They want to take us to court?" She sighed, "Speak to your lawyers love, Harry doesn't need this stress while pregnant" She murmured.
"Hopefully we can settle this without involving him and Draco" She added, looking at her husband pleadingly.
"We will handle it love. Harry's of sound mind, and doesn't need caretakers which is what the Weasleys are arguing. Our lawyers will settle this in no time, and I'm sure Harry's Healers will support us" Lucius said, crumpling the letter before summoning an elf for parchment and a quill. He quickly penned a letter to his lawyers, knowing they'd handle this quickly and efficiently, the Weasleys couldn't hope to match his resources, and no judge in his or her right mind would allow Harry to go into their care. For one, even if Harry wasn't of sound mind, the Weasleys did not have the facilities or monetary means to support him. They were arguing that his family was still affiliated with the dark, unfit for the savior of the wizarding world, well they'd soon learn not to mess with the Malfoy family and especially the unborn Malfoy heirs. No one messed with heirs of any pureblood family.
