Authors: kusanobabe05 [kusanosakura] and socia0307

Pairing: DracoxHarry, implied RonxHermione,

Fandom : HP

Notes: Compatible up to the bathroom scene between Draco and Harry in Half-blood Prince- minus the Ginny interest. After that is completely AU…

Warning: drarry gets rather aggressive so be warned. I lost Harry's first time. sorry. It happened between chapter two and chapter three.

Chapter 14

Snape sat back in his chair with a heavy sigh as he finished the potions for Harry. He was on his third calming draught. But was just starting to work. What was he going to do? Harry's pregnancy just threw plans out the window...but he couldn't think on that now; he picked up the potions and headed to the infirmary.

Draco opened his eyes only to see darkness; with the small flames coming from the dying fire. He held onto Harry, looking him over. His scars were slowly healing; then he worried could that have an effect on the baby?

He turned when he heard footsteps and slipped one arm from around Harry as he turned to face the professor.

Snape shook his head with a sigh and placed the potions on the night stand, "This," his eyes flicked to Harry, "has got to be the riskiest thing that could have happen. You are grown so I take it you thought about the consequences."

Draco nodded, "I have..."

They stared at each other.

Snape gave a nod back, "if this is found out, it could buy you some time," he meant the two dating; no one needed to learn of the baby from his stand point.

"I figured as much," Draco added softly, "thank you Professor."

Snape half frowned, "save it for when this is all over," he added then left.

Draco turned back to Harry, he looked so peaceful when he slept...

Pomfrey came in, stifling a yawn to find Malfoy awake. There were potions on the table beside the bed, Severus. He must have been up all night brewing. Bless him. She noticed Harry was still asleep and ran a few diagnostic spells. She gasped, his magic was stabilizing and the severe malnutrition had reversed itself. She glanced at Malfoy, "Did he take any potions? He's stabilized...I can't explain it. I...might be able to release him after breakfast. Did he eat everything I had sent up for him?"

"No ma'am, he only ate and I told him to rest, like you said. I'm so glad he's gotten better," Draco sighed, brushing Harry's brow lightly.

Pomfrey sighed, "Then I suppose you can take him to your rooms. Don't let him do anything too strenuous and do make sure he eats plenty. I'll track down a healer. It will be a challenge to find one who will agree to take on such a patient."

Harry moaned softly snuggled, "Dray...mmm...so warm..."

"I'll take good care of him and I'll bring him straight here if he starts to get sick again" Draco nodded, "..how do I get to the room?"

"I believe your rooms are near the kitchen behind a gargoyle." she flicked her wand, "Acio password list to student suites." a list flew into her hand, "let's see it seems like it's bringer of life. obviously it's for an expecting student." she stared at Malfoy, "His pregnancy is very delicate. You'll have to look out for him. We know very little about this type of male pregnancy. It's supposed to be an old wives tale..."

"I promise you I will. His appetite came back so that's good and he ate all his dinner." Draco sat up, careful not to wake Harry just yet," and I won't forget his potions either...so…how is the baby?"

"The baby seems to be healthy. We won't be able to tell the gender for another two weeks or so. It's hard to judge how far along he truly is. It's all guess work, being his first pregnancy there are so many variables. He could have it early, late or on time. He may not be able to hold onto the pregnancy. You have to understand the possibilities. He'll need you, he'll be highly emotional. His morning sickness could last a few weeks, the rest of the first trimester or for the entire pregnancy. Potter might crave strange things. Stay with him, if anything happens to you it could send his body into shock. There are more dangers then just that he is the Boy Who Lived and He Who Must Not Be Named is after him."

"I understand," Draco tried to keep a steady voice. The thought of losing the baby or losing them both were scary possibilities so he knew he couldn't risk not being around Harry. "I'll make sure he has everything he needs."

"I'm not telling this to scare you Malfoy. You're a smart young man, I don't think you would appreciate if I lied to you. I'm not saying you can't attend a class or two without him. I'm sure that for you to be soulmates you have to care for him. Try to keep his stress levels down. It's all guess work and you're going to be a father. You're responsible for two more lives now. He'll need you now more then ever." she checked over the potions, to distract herself, "Looks like anti-nausea, calming draughts, and nutrition potions. It will be up to you to make sure they are taken. Anti-nausea in the morning at least, if he needs it again that's fine but no more then two a day. The nutritional potion should be taken when he wakes up. If he gets overly stressed then he should have a calming draught. It would probably be smart to research male pregnancies just to have an idea of what to expect." She hurried off to take breakfast in her office.

Harry woke, a smile on his face. What a dream, if only it was true but he had a feeling there was some truth to it. He snuggled into Draco's arms, "Morning." his hand rest on his stomach, could he really be having a girl? He let out a contented sigh, "It will be nice to wake up in your arms for what is left of school…" he wasn't going to like summer unless, Draco really was going to spend it with him. He'd like that, if only the dream could be real. He wasn't a seer though, he was just a boy in love who was having a baby. The dream was probably just a way for his unconscious to make him relax…

"Oh," Draco sat up, "I'm guessing it was about all of us," he said eyes flicking to Harry's stomach.

Harry smiled, "It was; it was July, close to my birthday. You were there with me, we had a place to call home and Dobby took care of us. It was a pretty place called Ivy Hall. Our Healer came to see me, he told me that our baby was a girl."

"Mm, I like the sound of that dream very much," Draco smiled back and kissed Harry. "We should have breakfast. Then you can take your potions before I have to go to class."

Harry snuggled, "Breakfast is good. I think we're both hungry." he probably did need his potions, he pouted slightly, "You have to go to class?" his stomach lurched at the idea of Draco leaving him, he moaned, "I don't think she likes Daddy going away."

Draco rubbed Harry's stomach, "We all heard the professor last night. Plus, it's just one class today…"

Harry sighed, "I wish you could stay." he didn't like it when they were apart and baby didn't either. She needed a name, he couldn't call her baby forever.

Draco smiled, "Harry, we kind of just found out about her…but testing out names wouldn't hurt."

Harry said quietly, "Both our mothers are named after flowers, maybe she should have Flower name?"

Draco nodded, "I think that's a great idea," he took a bite of toast, "something that's soft and kind of rolls of the tongue..."

Harry nibbled on some grapes and apple slices, "What flowers do you like? we can choose a star or constellation for a middle name. Maybe someday your parents might have a chance to meet her."

Draco paused but didn't say anything as they ate. He pointed to a vase full of flowers across the room, "My mother loves them…I'm just use to having them around..." Irises always gave him a feeling of home.

Harry smiled, "Iris is a pretty flower. I think Hermione mentioned it was the flower of May and it is May right now. If she looks anything like her dad, she'll be beautiful." he hoped someday that Draco's parents would accept their daughter.

"If she comes out with your eyes, we will have a problem." He didn't want to think about her growing up and dating; it was way to soon for that...

Harry blushed, "You really like my eyes don't you?" they were his most notable feature... "I can't believe I'm having our baby...it seems almost unreal..."

Draco stared into Harry's eyes, "they are one of the many reason's we're in this situation." He laughed, "that goes for the both of us."

Harry smiled slipping his hand in Draco's, "I'm just glad that out soulmate bond only made me pregnant. It would be weird if you were too." he leaned over to whisper, "Because I play Keeper most often."

Malfoy thought for a moment. Mentally checking his vital signs. "Your right, it would be weird...I wonder how many times this can happen to you..."

Harry kissed him, "I don't know, but I like the idea of having our children myself. Unless you want one." he didn't know why he want the one who got pregnant and not Draco unless it was because he let Draco make love to him first. Perhaps, a pregnant wizard can't get another wizard pregnant. He chuckled, "Maybe you just got me pregnant before I had to chance to get you pregnant. Maybe only one of us can be at a time."

"No no, I'm fine with this just happening to you, not saying that it would be bad for me or anything, I just...think I'd have a heart attack if you got me pregnant.."

Harry chuckled, "Then we'll just have to make sure I'm the only one who ever gets pregnant then."

Draco laughed too, "and I promise to protect ourselves until we want another one."

Harry said quietly, "Unless...it's because I am the physically weaker one. I am much smaller then you are." but he did have a temper...

"But you're scary when your pissed," Draco stood, "your eyes get this fiery look...but its hot too..."

Harry blushed, "If you say so. I don't like being mad at you. It's hard to trust people but I want to trust you though we have past history of not getting along."

"And I'm grateful," Draco sighed with a smile, "and I want you to put your trust in me, that's what lovers do right?"

Harry nodded, "Yes, especially ones with babies on the way. We want to be together for a very long time."

Draco found his robe, "I think I'm going to take a shower, after I take you to our rooms..."

Hermione woke slowly, sitting up at rubbing her eyes. She saw red...red hair...and freckles...she yelped, "RON! What are you doing her? Professor McGonagall said not to bother Harry."

Ron didn't pay her any mind, "Harry? Wotcha doing? In bed with the Ferret? Why dincha come back ter tha Tower? Hermione too? Whot's going on?" Harry in the amazing bouncing ferret's arms? He suddenly remembered his dream and started to sweat…not to mention Draco's strange public confession. He swayed, "Yer not bent…"

Harry turned red when Hermione mentioned Ron, oh no…he turned in time to hear Ron's reaction. He gulped, "I decided to give Draco a chance. Like I said…he isn't as evil as we've suspected in the past. He can be really nice, he's been helping me with my brewing remember?

This was about to get more complicated. "Yes," Draco stated, "Harry is very bent. We both are." He knew if the baby was mentioned Ron would most likely faint from shock.

Harry nodded slowly, "Ron, you know I love you like a brother. Please understand. This is what I want." he couldn't mention the baby...not now...

Hermione wrapped a robe around herself, grabbing her boyfriend's arm, and pulling him to her bed, "Sit down. It's easier to take in that way."

Ron stammered, "But 'Mione how can you be okay with this? It's MALFOY! The evil prat who calls you that name! He spent last year making our lives miserable with Umbridge. He's had it out for Harry since forever."

"It is a bit unbelievable but...its true," Draco stated honestly, "I'm in love with your best friend. I was the biggest prat...but I'm not like that anymore..."

Hermione bit her lip, "Because Harry is my friend and though I have no love for Malfoy even I can see the git cares for Harry. You weren't here last night, Harry was sick and it was Draco who knew he was in trouble. Why do you think he went tearing out potions when Harry didn't show up? Draco found him and brought him to Madam Pomfrey, is that something an enemy would do? Ron, would Harry be in Draco's arms and relaxed about it if he didn't care for him?"

Harry nodded, "Like he told 'Mione. He had a change of heart."

"It's a trick. Malfoy fed him a love potion. We have to take him to Slughorn and get him the antidote. He's supposed to be my brother. He's destined for Ginny."

Harry snapped, "I have not and never will want Ginny. So stop shoving her at me. I want Draco." he hugged his stomach, feeling ill, Iris obviously didn't like fighting, "Dray…" he reached to pull Draco back to him and buried his face in his lover's chest as he tried to calm the nausea.

Hermione smacked the back of Ron's head, "He's been ill, you're stressing him out."

Ill? Most illnesses can be cured with a potion and you're right as rain? What did Harry have that would make the Prince of Slytherin ditch his favorite class? "Whot's he got?"

"Weasley, would you please calm down," Draco reached for a potion and gave it to Harry. "Again, this may not seem real but it is." He kept his voice calm, Harry was upset enough. "And why would I make Harry in love with me? There are plenty of other potions I could have made to give him."

Harry took the potion, drinking it quickly, "Thank you." he whispered weakly, "It was my choice from the beginning. I started this."

Ron was too in shock and betrayed to see how comfortable they were together. He didn't even notice how Malfoy was worrying and taking care of Harry. "What did you give him? Another dose of your potion? The Harry I know would never want you."

Hermione snapped, "Ronald Bilius Weasley! You be quiet. Harry will tell you what he has when he's ready. Right now you're being a right awful git. You've said enough." she smiled sheepishly at Harry, "Sorry about Ron. I'll try to calm him down. Take care of Harry Malfoy, or I'll hex your bits off." she dragged her stubborn red-head boyfriend out of the hospital wing.

"Bilius," Draco smirked to himself, but quickly nodded, "Don't worry I will." He watched them go, "don't worry to much about him, he'll come around..."

Harry sobbed quietly, "I knew he wouldn't take it well." he clung to Draco, embarrassed about his emotional response but Ron had upset him badly. "I'd hate to lose Ron." at he still had Mione right?

"I should get you into bed," Draco said gently picking Harry up," good thing our room isn't that far."

Harry curled up in Draco's arms, "okay. Just...don't leave before I fall asleep." he just woke less then an hour ago and he was already exhausted, no wonder they didn't want him in classes. he said quietly, "Dobby."

There was a pop, "Yes Master Harry Potter."

"Get our things please."

"I won't," Draco said softly. After he was sure his grip was secure, they made their way to their new room. "Woah," was all he could say.

The mini apartment was impressive. He found the bedroom and laid Harry down.

"I'll take a quick shower while you get comfortable okay?"

Harry liked it that Draco cared about and curled up against his chest. Blushing, he took in the surrounding, "For us?" He's never seen anything this nice...he nodded dumbly as Draco said he'd take a shower. "just...don't lock the door in case I feel ill..."

he kissed Harry, "I won't." He said he wouldn't be long but he needed to shower. The water calmed his spinning head. So much had happened, but he couldn't freak out. The last thing he wanted was to worry Harry.

Harry curled up in the bed, it was much bigger then the one he had in Gryffindor Tower. He still had that tiny bit of himself who couldn't believe any of it was real. He was a little scared of waking to find all of this a dream. Harry know that was just hormones, baby Iris was inside him, depending on him to take care of himself so she would grow properly. Then there was Draco, they had both changed so much since that time in the bathroom when they tried to curse each other. He loved Draco, he really did. He was truly happy...a family...Draco and himself were making their own family.

What do you think? Outstanding? Exceeds Expectations? Acceptable? Poor? Dreadful? Troll?

A/N:

thrnbrooke- Yes Harry is powerful. Changing the nature and appearance of Draco's Dark Mak and healing his Malnutrition to protect his child would take a lot of magic and will power even it its subconscious. .
