Title: Not old yet

Pairing: DracoxHarry, ScorpiusxAlbus, GeorgexFred, BillxFleur,

Fandom : HP

Notes: Post Series/slight AU; part of my universe with Hiding in the Shadows, true sequel to Undeniable. Draco and Harry's eldest son and his wife are expecting their first child; Draco refuses to accept he is 'old'. Draco has a hard time dealing with an 'empty nest'; four children at Hogwarts and no little ones running around anymore. George is having a hard time; as his daughters grow up, Fred is seeming farther away and he feels more alone then ever. All that is truly left of the slightly older Weasley twin is a portrait. Happens after Chapter 1 of The Rebirth.

Chapter One

Draco rocked, his arms wrapped around himself, "Aunt Andromeda, I don't understand why Harry's been avoiding me…"

Andromeda rolled her eyes, "Stop acting like a spoiled child; you're a thirty-five year old wizard, Draco. You can't really expect him to jump at the idea. You just had your eldest son marry, your three youngest are in their second year and Jaime is Quidditch Captain. I don't understand why you are so insistent on another child."

Draco said quietly, "Because…Scorpius wasn't made in love…it was in deceit. I want to carry a child we make in love. Why does no one understand that? I love my son…but that night Harry didn't make love to me…" he clenched his hands into fists, "…he made love to his wife…he didn't want me. I haven't conceived once since then. I haven't cast a contraception spell since Scorpius, Albus and Lily were babies. Hermaphrodites are supposed to be highly fertile…but I haven't gotten pregnant once since Scorpius. I haven't even miscarried."

Andromeda sighed, "I see…five children so close in age is a lot of work. Especially if three are so close in age. Perhaps, Harry worried you wouldn't be able to handle anymore at the time." Draco wasn't Molly Weasley after all; the kids weren't all red-heads, and between their inheritances Harry and Draco could have afforded to take in war orphans and would still have had money left over. Besides, raising Scorpius had taken a lot of patience because the boy was highly gifted and was born knowing magic rather then learning. It was still unnerving that he had been able to manipulate that dream and protect them from Ron Weasley as was the telepathy.

"So why won't he even discuss it now? I know he still finds me attractive…we make love more often now that the children are away at school. Unless we have a terribly long day at WWW or at the Wizengamot."

"I don't know…he probably needs time to deal with it. You did ask him about another baby right after you told he would be an honorary grandfather…he is probably still in shock…"

XoooooX

Harry sighed, he was visiting the Leaky Cauldron with Bill. He'd told him about the tapestry. They weren't happy about being grandparents yet, they were quite far apart in age and it was taking time to get used to the idea. He took a swing of his butterbeer, "So…how is Fleur handling the idea of being a grandmother…"

Bill chuckled, "She is insisting she is not old, I am definitely agreeing with her. She doesn't even appear matronly, she is still the lithe, gorgeous creature I fell in love with. What about Draco…"

Harry stared into his drink, "He wants a baby…he has been more busy as of late with WWW. I don't understand…"

Bill nodded, "I see…Fleur is thinking the same thing. As if carrying another child would prove she isn't old."

Harry set down his now empty glass, "Firewhiskey. We have five children already…"

"But only one was his, tell me don't you think he wants a child you made in love? I heard his kind are really fertile, George said that he and Fred were always using contraception spells until they decided to chance it with Georgia, Freda and Gawain."

Harry shifted nervously, "Scorpius, Albus and Lily were such handfuls and so close together I didn't want to chance it. I always used those spells…"

Bill glared, "You didn't ask Draco first? How could you? Do you know how angry Fleur would have been if I did such a thing without asking her? An angry Veela is a terrible sight…if Fred had done such a thing to George, it would have broken his heart. He would feel like he wasn't good enough. If Charlie did that to Blaisé, Blaisé would kill him…"

"But Draco isn't a Veela."

"That isn't the point, the point is he's your husband and you can't make unilateral decisions like that. Harry, when he finds out…he'll be so hurt. He loves you but I wonder how easily he'll forgive you for this."

Harry gulped, "I don't know if I want more children; five was an awful lot. Two Gryffindors and three Slytherins, it's hell when we attend games. Choosing a side when your children are on opposite sides is hard. We usually end up supporting our old Houses…"

Bill gripped his adopted brother's shoulder, "Talk to Draco, you'll push him away if you keep avoiding the issue."

"I know…I just never expected he'd ask for more kids."

Bill asked a question, "Did you ever think about carrying one yourself? George mentioned once while drunk that the months before the Battle of Hogwarts were the happiest of his life. Because both he and Fred were sharing the blessing of being pregnant at the same time. He never explained how they managed to do that but Fred was definitely just as pregnant as George when he died."

Harry threw back the last of his Firewhiskey, "No…I never did consider it. Draco was pregnant because of his condition and well Ginny was a girl. I never really thought about it. Draco was usually happy about carrying our child, except when I was being a spineless prat."

"So why did you deny him the choice to have another child if you knew carrying your baby made him happy…"

"I…don't know…"

"Think about it Harry. Just because Draco wants a child; doesn't mean he has to be the only one to carry it. I doubt he is the Keeper all the time." Bill leaned over to tease his favorite brother.

Harry turned red, "Bill Weasley, that is none of your business…"

Bill ruffled the younger man's hair as he stood, "I better go, I owe Fleur a reply to her wanting another child. I asked to think about it. I'm older then you three…I don't know if I want a child and a grandchild running around about the same age. I promised I wouldn't be out too late and I wouldn't come home drunk."

Harry sighed, "I have a lot to think about…" He knew that Draco's mum had had a child a few years ago with Severus, a beautiful girl who looked more like Andromeda then Tonks had. He wondered what a girl with Draco would look like, what was it like to carry a child? Ginny had never really enjoyed it while Draco had bonded with Scorpius in a way he didn't quite understand. Maybe…he should consider carrying a child. There was a potion he'd heard Blaisé discuss a few times with Severus. Charlie and Blaisé couldn't agree whether to have another child after Perseus; his nephew. He knew he could have a child himself, but did he want one? Would Draco's desire for a baby be appeased that way? He paid for his drinks, he needed to think about this…

XoooooX

Lee carried the receipts up to the office before heading home to Angelina, Draco would file them properly no doubt. He held no grudge to the former Slytherin who had replaced Fred as the third partner in Weasleys' Wizard Wheezes. He had a decent share in the franchise as well as a decent job.

Fred looked up, "Hey Lee…"

Lee smiled briefly at his old friend's portrait, "Hey yourself mate. Can you tell me why George has been moody lately and refuses to leave his room…"

Fred shook his head, "If you were Angelina or Draco I would tell you. Sorry, Lee…I don't feel comfortable discussing it with you."

Lee glared, "He's my best mate, he's upset and I want to help. You practically admitted just now it's your fault he's depressed."

Fred cursed, "Bloody Merlin, of course it is. I played bloody hero, saved the love of my life and sacrificed myself and our son. He's hurting, he's alone…our daughters are growing up and he's missing me more then ever. I…" he let out something like a sob, "I shouldn't have done it. I…I offered him the chance to have another child."

Lee stared, "Another child? Fred you're dead…"

"I know that. Thanks for stating the obvious mate. I'm a bloody portrait and my lover is miserable. I can't hold him, I can't kiss him…I can't make love to him…"

"Too much info mate. I love you like brothers but knowing you were lovers is still disturbing. I am glad you dumped Angie…otherwise I could never have had a chance with her." Lee tried to stop the picture in his hand of them doing such things and failed.

Fred slumped, "Being with Angie was okay but…she wasn't my soul mate. I hate seeing him in pain…it's my fault. I wasn't paying close enough attention and that git Rookwood killed me because I wasn't fast enough to kill him before he could try to curse us. I knew the stakes, I didn't want to die and leave him alone. We used to say we were Gred and Forge; can't have one without the other."

Lee sighed, "I know, I miss you too. Is…there anything I can do to help…"

Fred blushed, his cheeks somehow managing to match the color of his hair, "Um…nothing you'd feel comfortable with…I'd rather ask Draco he'd do it…"

Lee nodded, "If that's what you want. I better go, Angie doesn't like it when I'm too late for dinner."

Fred watched him leave, now he was alone in the shop's office, he whispered, "Georgie…please…don't make me resort to that. Make the choice yourself…please let me give you our last child…"

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