Epilogue
Alice was in full 'wedding planner' mode by the time they left the hospital two days later, bombarding them both with questions as soon as they Apparated into the Malfoy's front room.
"Uh…" Draco mumbled, trying to follow the endless stream of questions tumbling out of the little vampires mouth, ranging from what dates they had thought of for the wedding to where they wanted it to take place to what robes they wanted to wear to what type of chocolate Draco preferred – white, milk or dark?
"Alice, we can't answer your questions if you don't give us the time to speak," Jasper pointed out calmly, putting his arm around Draco's waist in a gesture of comfort and support. Alice was a little bit…frightening right now.
"Sorry…" she mumbled before covering her mouth with her hand and looking at the pair of them expectantly, obviously waiting for her answer.
"Um…ok…well, we haven't really discussed dates yet," Draco mumbled as he tried to remember what her questions had been. "Um…location is also undetermined and as for what robes we want to wear I…I don't really mind so long as they aren't cheap or tacky looking…"
"I can't believe you haven't started planning your wedding," Alice grumbled, shaking her head at them as she picked up a giant scrapbook filled to bursting with everything and anything that was needed to plan a wedding. "But luckily for you I saw all this happening and have been planning everything for you."
"So why all the questions if you already knew the answers?" Draco asked.
"Because if I hadn't asked you, you would have been offended that I didn't consult you about anything and then you would have been mad at me," Alice answered simply, explaining one of the many visions she's had whilst considering her options about helping the boys with their wedding plans.
"Oh…"
"Alice, dear, have you taken into account how many guests will need to be invited?" Narcissa asked eagerly, making her way across the room to get a closer look at the pages of the scrapbook.
"Of course I had but I thought you'd like to be in charge of the guest list, Mrs Malfoy," Alice said, smiling sweetly at the witch who let out a squeal of excitement and immediately began listing people who would definitely need to be invited.
Draco cleared his throat, bringing their attention back to him.
"I was kind of hoping that we could keep it relatively simple…"
His voice trailed off as the two women shot him looks that could have frozen water. Lucius sighed deeply, shifting little Teddy in his arms so that he could rest a comforting hand on his sons shoulder.
"Draco, there are certain sacrifices that a Malfoy has to make," he said apologetically, "And I'm afraid that suffering through a ridiculously extravagant wedding is one of them."
Narcissa glared at him, punching him lightly on the arm before turning her attention back to Alice and the wedding plans, asking Alice to show her what sort of fabrics she had in mind for Draco and Jasper's wedding robes.
"I guess we should just…leave them to it," Draco suggested, sighing deeply as he resigned himself to his fate. "Why don't we take Teddy back to Harry and Jacob?" he suggested as brightly as he could manage, taking the sleeping child from his fathers arms and settling him against his chest. Teddy grumbled in his sleep, rubbing his head against his new pillow (a.k.a Draco's shoulder) but didn't wake.
"I might not be able to join you," Jasper said apologetically. "I'm not sure if the treaty is still in place and I don't want to risk causing a confrontation."
"Sorry, I forgot all about the treaty," Draco apologised.
"It's all right," Jasper reassured him softly. "You take Teddy home. I want to check in with the rest of my family, make sure that everything's alright with Charlie's transformation. My abilities can come in quite handy when a person is making the transition from human to vampire."
"They've taken him on his first hunt," Alice announced, interrupting herself as she weighed out the pros and cons of a certain design of wedding robes. "He's been doing alright but it might be a good idea for you to join them."
"Alice, I really do think that I prefer this style of wedding robes…"
"You two might want to escape while you still can," Lucius suggested, dropping down onto the sofa and picking up the latest copy of the Daily Prophet. "Don't forget to give Harry that potion we picked up for him."
"I won't," Draco promised. They'd purchased a 'Male Pregnancy Test' from the shop in St Mungo's after Teddy's little announcement and he could not wait to see the look on Harry's face if the test came back positive.
"Take care of yourself, my love," Jasper ordered his boyfriend softly, reaching out to cup his cheek gently as he lent forwards to capture Draco's lips in a quick kiss before he left the house at his usual inhuman speed.
"I'll be back, later," Draco called out to his father, knowing that his mother and Alice wouldn't even notice that he'd left for quite some time – they were buried far too deep in wedding plans to notice anything else.
Stepping out onto the front porch Draco held Teddy close to his chest, shielding him from the light drizzle of rain falling from the sky. Drawing his wand he closed his eyes and focused his mind on where he needed to be and Apparated away with a loud - *POP!*
"Oh, that is so gross…" Draco whined loudly as he stumbled, sinking ankle deep in the mud that currently made up Jacob's front garden. His shoes were almost sucked off his feet more than once by the mud as he made his way over to the steps. Tapping the mud off of his shoes as he made his way up the steps Draco was greeted at the front door by Jacobs's father.
"Good morning, Draco," Billy Black greeted the blond wizard, wheeling himself backwards to allow Draco to enter the house.
"Good morning, Mr Black," Draco responded. "I thought I'd return a certain little someone to his daddy before my mother tries to adopt him."
Billy chuckled deeply, smiling at the toddler sleeping contently in Draco's arms. At some point in the last few minutes one of Teddy's hands had moved up to his mouth and he was now sucking on his thumb as he slept. Just when he'd thought the little boy couldn't get any cuter…
"They're in Jacob's room," Billy told him, an expression on resigned exasperation on his face. Draco thanked him, heading off down the hallway towards the shape-shifters bedroom. "I'd knock if I were you…"
Draco snorted loudly – apparently the elder Black was perfectly aware of what went on behind that closed door. Raising his hand he knocked loudly, grinning as he heard a startled yelp come from inside the room, followed by the unmistakable sounds of frantic dressing.
"Come in!" Jacob eventually called out.
"You know your dad knows that you two were having sex in here, right?" Draco asked conversationally as he crossed the room to stand in front of them.
"He does?" Jacob asked, his face going pale.
"Well, he's the one that warned me I'd need to know," Draco chuckled darkly, "Interpret that how you will."
"Oh God, my dad knows…" Jacob groaned, his eyes wide with horror.
"Well at least that explains the odd looks…" Harry mumbled, a happy smile appearing on his face as he carefully took Teddy from Draco's arms, holding him close. "Merlin, I've missed you so much Teddy Bear…"
"Harry, are you still being sick in the mornings?" Draco asked suddenly, sliding his hands into the back pockets of his jeans, the fingers of his right hand curling around the vile concealed inside.
"A little…why?" Harry asked, pressing soft kisses to the top of Teddy's head.
"Well then, I think you should give this a try," Draco suggested lightly, pulling out the vile and holding it out the dark haired wizard.
"What is it?" Harry asked, frowning down at the purple liquid.
"It's a test," Draco answered simply. "You see I've got this theory about what's been making you ill and this test will either prove me right or wrong."
He decided not mention just what that theory was until after Harry had taken the male pregnancy test he'd bought for him in the little shop at St Mungo's.
"…ok," Harry agreed, cradling Teddy against his chest with one arm whilst taking the vile with his free hand. Draco had the good sense to uncork it before he handed it over. "Cheers."
He downed the potion in one, grimacing at the taste.
"Er…what's it supposed to do? I mean, how will we know the results?" Harry asked after a long moment where nothing happened.
"Well, if it's positive…that happens…" Draco began to explain, trailing off as a golden glow settled over Harry's stomach, pulsing quickly. "Oh…oh shit…"
"What?" Jacob asked worriedly, rushing to his mates side as Draco began to…laugh? "What is it? What does that glow mean? Draco!"
"It means…that Teddy was right," Draco laughed.
"Teddy?" Harry asked.
"That theory I mentioned a moment ago? Yeah, well it was actually something that Teddy said that brought me to the…er…apparently correct conclusion that…" Draco broke off into another uncontrollable fit of laughter.
"That what?" Harry demanded. Why was Draco so happy?
"That you're pregnant, Harry," Draco answered simply, grinning from ear to ear as Harry and Jacob took on identical expressions of shock and disbelief.
"I'm…what?" Harry finally gasped in shock.
"You're pregnant," Draco repeated softly, chuckling once more as Harry did a perfect impression of a goldfish – mouth opening and closing as he struggled to form any kind of sentence. "You know, with child? Expecting? Up the duff?"
"Up the duff?" the coarse phrase seemed to snap Harry out of his state of shock as he demanded, "Where on Earth did you learn a phrase like that?"
"Muggle television," Draco answered with another laugh.
"P-P-Pregnant?" Jacob stuttered, drawing their attention to him as he stood trembling in the middle of the room. "H-How is that even possible? I mean…Harry's a bloke…he can't get pregnant! It's scientifically impossible!"
"Harry's a wizard," Draco answered, "Scientifically impossible doesn't apply."
"Oh…oh fucking hell…" Jacob gasped, dropping down to sit on the edge of his bed, his entire body trembling. "A baby…"
"I've always wanted a family…"
"Did you know you could get pregnant?" Jacob demanded softly.
"Yes, but I thought there was a spell involved," Harry answered. "Are you…are you ok with this? I…I didn't know I could…I would have used protection if…you're not mad are you? You…you do want this…this baby, don't you? Please, Jacob…say something…"
"I would if I could get a word in," Jacob chuckled. "Of course I'm not mad, how could I be? I'm happy…really happy. Just…a little surprised."
"You sure?" Harry asked.
"Of course I'm sure," Jacob replied, moving to stand in front of his mace. Gently he cupped his mates face in his strong hands, leaning down to press as soft kiss to Harry's trembling lips. "I just…I can't believe it…a baby…a…a pup…"
"A pup…" Harry repeated, his voice little more than a sigh as his tears of joy spilled down his cheeks, all but crushing Teddy against his chest as he stepped into his mates arms and pressed himself against his chest. "We're going to have a pup…"
"I'm really happy for both of you," Draco said, reminding the happy couple of his presence. "I have a feeling you're going to make wonderful parents and that your little pup is going to be every bit as lucky as Teddy is."
"Thanks to, Draco," Harry mumbled, resting his head against Jacobs shoulder.
"You'll need to set up an appointment with a healer, get you all checked out and make sure that everything's ok," Draco reminded him.
"I'll owl Poppy tonight," Harry promised as Jacob's hands moved to rest over his stomach, a look of overjoyed surprise blossoming on his face as he felt the tell-tale signs of a bump on his mates stomach that he hadn't noticed until that moment.
"Right…well I think you two have got plenty to talk about so I'll leave you to it," Draco said, smiling at the couple who were by now practically glowing with happiness. "I won't tell anyone until you give the all clear – wouldn't want to steal your thunder. Oh, and good luck explaining all of this to your dad, Jacob."
"Oh God…" Jacob groaned, "I've got to tell my dad…"
Draco chuckled deeply, wishing the young shape-shifter good luck before bidding the two of them farewell and leaving the room. Mr Black frowned up at him as he stepped into the front room where he was sat watching a football game on the television, silently asking the wizard if there was something was going on that he should know about – obviously he'd heard enough of their conversation through the door to realise that there was most definitely something going on.
"It's not my story to tell," Draco told him, grinning wickedly as he gestured back towards the bedroom he'd just left, "You'll have to speak to your son about what's been going on…"
"Oh, I will do," Mr Black muttered, using the remote to switch off the television before heading towards his sons bedroom. Draco chuckled wickedly, leaving the house before he managed to get dragged back into that conversation.
Stepping out onto the porch he glared up at the rain clouds that had apparently chosen that very moment to open up again, creating even more puddle and worst of all even more mud.
Could this place no go a day without pissing it down?
He was just to Apparate home when he heard a familiar voice call out to him,
"Draco!"
"Pansy?" he asked in surprise as he caught sight of his friend being carried through the mud and the rain by a half naked shape-shifter, a half naked rather handsome shape-shifter whose shoulders she was clinging quite calmly to. "I thought you would have been home by now – what happened to your face?"
"Oh, that would be what happens when you get punched in the face by a vampire," she answered as she was lowered onto the porch, her hand gently touching the bruise which covered nearly half of her face. "It's better than it was – I managed to heal the…the fracture and I used some of that bruise balm to bring down the swelling and numb the pain. I'm…I'm told it's healing quite well…"
"It's a miracle your jaw wasn't completely broken!"
"I know," Pansy mumbled, her hand trailing down the shape-shifters arm until she could interlock their fingers, her hand looking positively tiny clasped in his giant one. "Apparently I have…um…remarkably strong bones…"
"…uh-huh…" Draco muttered, his attention drawn to the joined hands. Frowning in confusion her suggested, his voice a little tight – "Something going on that I should know about…?"
"Um…yes, actually…this is Paul. He's a member of the…the Pack…you know, the shape-shifters and he's…he's my mate…" Pansy explained softly, smiling almost to herself as she admitted the last part out loud for the first time – she hadn't even told her parents yet, only told them that she would be staying in La Push until things "calmed down" and she felt up to travelling. Thus far they hadn't been able to visit but she knew that if she put off returning home for much longer they would make the time to find out just what was really keeping her out here…
"Beg pardon?" Draco asked, his eyebrows rising upon his forehead.
"You know how it works for them – they Imprint on their mate and live happily ever after…ish," Pansy mumbled, blushing slightly as Paul beamed at her. "Paul Imprinted on me during the…during the battle and…and I really like him…"
"Well that's good to know," the shape-shifter chuckled deeply.
"He's your mate? Are you sure?" Draco asked.
"Yes."
"Right," Draco muttered, turning on the spot so that he could meet Paul's gaze, raising his wand and aiming it at the shape-shifters heart. "You'd better take care of her. Pansy is like a sister to me and if you hurt her, in any way at all, I will not hesitate to give you what you deserve."
"Draco!" Pansy gasped.
"If I hurt her I will let you," Paul told Draco, his deep voice rumbling in his chest as a look of pain appeared on his face. "The very idea of me hurting her makes me want to be sick…"
For a moment Draco did nothing but frown threateningly at the shape-shifter and then all of a sudden he let out a deep sigh, lowering his wand as he turned to smile at one of his closest friends.
"I'm very happy for you, Pansy," he told her.
"Draco! Was that really necessary?" Pansy huffed angrily.
Draco chuckled.
"Most definitely," he answered with a smirk, chuckling darkly as he decided to take pity on his embarrassed friend and change the subject. "So…I guess you'll be staying with your mate in La Push for the foreseeable future?"
"Yes, I am. Or rather we are – my parents are purchasing a house for us on the reservation. They…um…they don't know Paul well enough yet to allow me to stay with him," Pansy explained, flushing red with embarrassment.
"Oh…worried about your virtue, are they?" Draco teased her. "Don't tell me they still think that you're a v–"
"Yes, they do!"
Draco burst out laughing as her hurried interruption, laughing so hard that his cheeks hurt and his sides ache – he wasn't implying that Pansy had been a slut, he'd never imply that but she certainly hadn't been a prude!
Paul growled deeply as Pansy turned to press her face into his chest, trying to hide her embarrassment – how dare this little wizard upset his mate?
"Oh, calm down wolf boy," Draco said. "Pansy knows I'm only teasing."
"Draco, I would appreciate it if you didn't go around telling everyone about my last virtue," Pansy suggested firmly, leaning against her mate's strong chest but turning to look at her friend. He was relieved to see she was fighting a smile. "Especially not my new boyfriend and…and life mate."
Draco grinned at his friend embarrassed yet unbelievably happy expression.
"All right," he agreed softly, "I'll try to behave myself."
"Thank you."
"So…I guess I should be heading back home," Draco said after a moment of almost comfortable silence had passed. "Have fun sorting out your new living arrangements – good luck dealing with Mr and Mrs Parkinson, Paul."
"My parents are not that bad…" Pansy protested.
"Not bad, just…protective," Draco explained with a chuckle. "See you soon."
"See you soon, Draco."
*POP!*
Draco had decided to Apparate directly into his bedroom in the hopes of avoiding more questions about the wedding. He found Jasper waiting for him on his bed, reading from one of his Potions books as he leant back against…
"What's with the suitcase?" he asked.
"It's yours," Jasper answered, placing the book on the bedside table before rising to his feet and pulling his fiancé into his arms for a kiss. "I got the feeling earlier on that, despite what you've said in the past about wanting a grand wedding, now that it's come down to it you'd rather have something a little bit smaller but you don't want to disappoint your mother…"
"Yeah, that just about summons it up, actually," Draco muttered.
"Esme wants a big wedding as well, like the ones they've thrown for Rosalie and Emmett," Jasper told him softly, holding him close as Draco let out a deep sigh. "But, Draco, what do you want? I want to know…I need to know…anything in the world – what would be your perfect wedding?"
"Just you and me," Draco answered immediately without even hesitating. "The rest of it, the flowers and the location and the guest list…they don't matter. I would be happy getting married anywhere in the world so long as you were there…"
"That's exactly how I feel," Jasper said, his voice sending a shiver of longing and excitement up and down Draco's spine. "I would be more than happy to run off with you right now and elope in a tiny little chapel no ones ever heard of…which possibly explains the suitcase…"
"How?"
"Alice."
"Ah, I see…" Draco mumbled.
"There also appears to be a letter for us," Jasper informed him, reaching out to pick up the crisp white envelope that had been balanced on to of the suitcase.
After breaking the wax seal on the back of the envelope he carefully withdrew what he found inside – a smaller envelope from Seattle Airport, a voucher for the Tangiers Hotel and what appeared to be a letter from Alice.
"Boys," Draco read aloud as he took the letter from his fiancé, "As disappointed as I am to have my wedding plans thwarted I think running away together is incredibly romantic. I've packed everything that you're going to need and I've booked you into the honeymoon suite at the Tangiers. The plane tickers are, of course, first class. The Little White Chapel is open 24 7 and caters for every kind of ceremony you could ever think of. Please use the camera I've packed for you – everyone will be demanding lots of pictures when you get back. Alice X X X."
Looking up from the page covered with Alice's beautiful handwriting Draco couldn't stop a grin spreading across his face as he met his fiancés equally excited gaze. They moved as one, Draco grabbing the envelope and putting it's contents back inside as Jasper picked up the suitcase as if it weighed nothing at all, holding it at his side as he moved to take Draco's hand.
Draco found himself giggling like a little school boy, trembling all over from excitement as he drew his wand. Grinning at his fiancé he tightened his grip on the vampires hand and laughed loudly,
"Vegas, here we come!"
*POP!*
THE END
