Harry snorted, carrying Victoire up the stairs of shell cottage. “Just bring Lily, she needs a bath, too.”
Lucius sighed behind him and picked up the one-year-old, following his mate. “Bath time with Harry used to be so much fun.” He levelled a glare at his daughter. “You’ve ruined a perfectly good thing, Lily Flower.” He accused.
Lily smiled and giggled, then slapped him in the face with one hand.
Lucius shook his head. “You have absolutely no guilt over it, either. Typical Malfoy, you are.” He cuddled her close to his chest and they went into the bathroom.
Harry was already working on the bath water, and Lucius could tell from the look of concentration on his face that he was running it cold and heating it himself, to get the perfect temperature.
He was dangling on hand in the water while supporting Victoire with his other hand, and Lucius poured a little bubble bath into the water for him. Harry threw him a disgruntled look and huffed. “I was getting to that!” He snapped, then focused on making his own bubbles so they would foam up for the babies.
Lucius chuckled. “I know you like to use your powers, love, but perhaps using them for every little thing is a bit much?” He suggested.
“If I just run the water it’s either too hot or just a tad too cool. This way, I can make it perfect!” He declared, pulling his hand out. “There, it’s ready.” He undressed Victoire while Lucius undressed Lily, and they put the babies in the water, carefully washing them in tandem.
“See, this isn’t so hard!” Harry said.
“Great.” Lucius responded. “Then when the new baby comes, you can bathe the both of them.”
Harry looked scandalized. “What if we have a boy?!” He asked, knowing that his visions were pointing that way.
Lucius gave him a droll look. “They will be siblings, there will be no avoiding them seeing each other naked.”
“That doesn’t mean we should encourage it!” Harry shook his head. “They bathe separate.”
Lucius sighed. “Suit yourself.” He began to mutter, and Harry caught the words, “…time management like that, we’re not going to have time to make another three!”
Harry chuckled. “We’ll find time, Luc, don’t worry.” He assured his husband.
“We barely have time to make love as it is!” Lucius argued.
Harry smirked. “But we make it work. Or are you saying you’re unsatisfied?”
‘If I said that, you’d never put out again!’ Lucius said through the bond, and Harry laughed.
“You may be right, that would be seriously offensive and off-putting.” He agreed.
“So I shan’t say it.” Lucius added. ‘Besides, you make my nights pleasurable as often as you feel up to it, so I can’t complain. I’m not wanting for sex, not by a long shot. And when you are in the mood, it is always so much better with you than it was with anyone else.’
‘Quality over quantity?’ Harry teased.
‘When I’m getting both, it is hard to find something wrong with either.’ Lucius said. He cried out when Lily grabbed a handful of his hair and pulled.
Harry laughed and reached over to loosen her fingers. “We don’t pull Father’s hair.” He chastised.
“Hair! Fa!” Lily babbled.
Harry smiled, as he always did when she managed a full word, even if it was only one syllable. “Yes, hair. But it’s sensitive, and Father is sensitive about it, so let’s not touch it, okay, Lily Flower?”
Lucius massaged his head and finished bathing Lily. “I’ll leave you to get Victoire in bed while I take Lily downstairs and get her dressed for bed. I’ll transfigure one side of the couch so she can’t fall off and she can just rest there until they get home.”
Harry nodded. “Works for me.” He agreed.
They separated and Harry finished washing his charge, then quickly dressed her in her nightclothes and sang the lullaby Fleur had taught him.
Victoire didn’t seem to care that his voice was not as good as her mother’s or that he was probably mangling the French song, and she drifted off relatively quickly.
Harry crept downstairs and smiled at Lucius holding Lily as she valiantly fought sleep.
She put up an incredibly good fight, but around ten PM, she did nod off.
Lucius set her down and sighed. “She’s already a handful; I don’t know how we will survive raising two babies.”
Harry smiled. “Just help me, and we will make it work.”
Lucius hummed. “I suppose you’re right. One day at a time will be our best bet.”
Harry sat down in his lap. “I want blood.” He grabbed Lucius’ hand and bit.
“What if they come home and see you?” Lucius asked.
“We’ll obliviate them.” Harry replied around his mouthful of flesh.
Lucius smiled. “Firstly, it is generally frowned upon to assault one’s own family, and yes, obliviating counts as assault. Secondly, don’t talk with your mouth full.”
Harry gave his husband a very sarcastic eyebrow raise, and Lucius sighed. “Oh, Merlin, I’ve rubbed off on you in a bad way.” He mourned.
Harry snorted and closed the wounds. “Yes, you have, but also in some very good ways, so don’t be too upset over it.”
“You have an absolutely filthy mind.” Lucius leaned in to kiss him, then pulled back and smirked. “Never change.”
Harry laughed. “I don’t intend to.” He said.
They cuddled for another hour and a half, occasionally speaking when there was something to say, but mostly just enjoying the quiet closeness of the evening while they watched the fire.
Harry was starting to get tired when Bill and Fleur arrived home, and Lucius had to rouse him as they came into the room. “Sorry, he’s pregnant again, and it’s the early days. He tires easily.” Lucius explained.
Fleur’s eyes widened. “Why did you not say so?!” She asked in worry. “We could ‘ave waited a few months unteel he ‘ad more energy!”
Harry shook his head. “No, it was no trouble at all.” He yawned. “Victoire was wonderful, she went to sleep easily and didn’t give us any trouble. I just got sleepy a little while ago. I’ll be fine, I’m already wide awake.”
Bill shook his head. “Next time we plan something, share all the details. We’re family, and you know we’ll keep your secrets until you’re ready to share with everyone else.” He pulled Harry into a hug. “Also, congratulations.”
Harry chuckled and flushed. “Yeah, thanks.” He muttered.
Lucius picked up Lily. “We’ll be going now. Have a good rest of your night.”
Fleur smiled. “Oh, we will.” She said, grabbing Bill’s hand and heading for the stairs.
Harry and Lucius headed out to Apparate home.
