A/N: Thanks to red-day-dawning for the pre-beta read through, again helping to make this story what it is. Also thanks go to literaryspell and asnowyowl for helping me with suggestions to improve the big reveal. I had difficulty trying to get the characterizations right in this chapter, particularly while trying to write Charlie being told about the pregnancy. Which I think got sorted in the end. Enjoy!
Chapter Summary: Charlie is home and is told about Harry’s pregnancy.
Philoprogenitiveness
Severus felt the Manor wards activate, and knew that Lizard Boy was home. He and Harry always missed Charlie when he was at the reserve on business. Normally when their bond-mate returned, the three of them would spend the afternoon curled up on their favourite chair in the living room, just holding each other and sharing news of what had happened while Charlie had been away.
This afternoon, however, was going to be different. All Charlie knew was that Harry had fallen from his broom yesterday afternoon and was confined to bed rest. Which Severus knew Harry was not complying with, especially since Poppy had given him a reprieve for today when she left last night. No doubt, Charlie was frantic with worry about Harry-- he had gotten an emergency portkey home after all.
Before Poppy left the evening before, Harry and Severus discussed with her how they should tell their husband. The three of them had agreed that Poppy would return today and answer any questions Charlie had. Severus and Harry decided that they should both be there when they told their husband the news. They were going to be a family, and it was only right that Charlie should find out he was going to be a father with the two people he loved most at his side.
Severus turned down the flame on the partially-brewed potion and cast a protection charm over it. He then left his lab to go and join his husbands upstairs.

It’s good to be home, Charlie thought. Being welcomed with soft lingering kisses and an enthusiastic hug was one of the things he looked forward to most after being at the dragon reserve.
When Harry let him breathe again, Charlie frantically repeated his question. “Why are you out of bed? I thought you were confined to bed rest?”
“When Poppy left last night, she said it was okay for me to be out of bed today. I’m feeling much better.”
“Where’s Severus? He said something in his letter about a reason for your fall.”
“He’s in his lab trying to invent a new potion. I’m going to need it,” Harry said, unconsciously running a hand over his abdomen.
Charlie missed the gesture, but didn’t miss the excitement in Harry’s eyes. “Are you going to tell me what the hell is going on?”
Harry shook his head. “Severus wants us all together.”
Charlie groaned. “I’ll go down and get him, and then you can both explain what’s going on.”
As Charlie turned to leave the fire flared to life and Poppy Pomfrey stepped out of the green flames. “Ah, Mr. Weasley, you’re home. Good. Where’s Severus? I’m sure you’re anxious to find out why Harry fell,” Poppy said, dusting soot from her robes.
“Ah, the Lizard boy returns,” Severus said as he arrived in the living room, and walked over and embraced Charlie. “Thank you for coming home so quickly. I did not mean to panic you.”
“I wish you wouldn’t call me that.”
“Why not? You work with overgrown lizards.”
Charlie sighed in frustration; he would never win that argument with Severus. He decided to try and get some answers instead. “Will you two please explain what the hell is going on? Why did Harry fall from his broom?”
“It’s pretty easy to explain,” Harry murmured.
“Stop being so fucking cryptic! You’re acting more and more like Severus. If this is the result of leaving you two alone all the time, I don’t think I should leave you at home when I go to the reserve.”
Severus smacked Charlie upside the head and said, “That was uncalled for. Are you trying to say that I am a bad influence on our husband?”
“That’s exactly what I’m saying!” This time Charlie ducked when Severus tried to hit him again.
“Ha. Ha,” said Harry.
“Since you feel the need to make disparaging comments, you can help me tidy up the lab before we tell you what’s going on.”
Charlie shook his head and pulled at the locks of red hair. His bond-mates were being deliberately difficult. As much as Charlie wanted answers, instead of cryptic comments and more questions raised, he didn’t argue and went to help Severus tidy the potions lab. At least Poppy was here to help him understand what had happened, when they eventually decided to tell him.
As they passed through the enchantments Severus had created to prevent spills and fumes escaping into the rest of the house, Charlie noticed they felt different somehow, but couldn’t pinpoint what was different about them.
When he and Severus entered the lab, Charlie inspected the half-brewed potion and asked, “What are you working on?” He was hoping it might give him a clue as to what was wrong with Harry.
“Anti-nausea potion for Harry.”
“Okay, you both need to stop being so bloody cryptic! It’s driving me fucking crazy!”
Severus chuckled and Charlie threw him a scathing look.
“I’m sorry. Poppy will answer all your questions. You are however going to have to help me keep Harry from bouncing off the walls. He is so excited.”
“What did I just say about the cryptic comments?”
After a few moments Charlie said, “Sev, I’m scared shitless. I don’t know what we’d do without Harry. All I want is answers and the way everyone is behaving, I’m petrified that I’ll be told he’s dying or something. So please, Severus, I’m begging. Can’t you just tell me what’s wrong with Harry?” Charlie pleaded.
“I know you’re worried. But Poppy is here and everything will be forthcoming. I promise Charlie, Harry is okay.”
Charlie rolled his eyes and groaned in frustration, because he still wasn’t getting any answers about what was wrong with Harry. Even after pleading with his former professor, he was no closer to the truth.
Severus didn’t miss this and snapped at his lover. “Do not roll your eyes at me Charlie Weasley. You are not a sullen teenager. Do not act like one. Now help me clean up, and then you can get your answers.”
Even though he wasn’t getting any answers, Charlie didn’t argue and helped Severus clean up, by putting potion ingredients back on the shelves. While his bond-mate dealt with the partially brewed potion.
“Come on, let’s get you some answers.” Severus said taking Charlie’s hand and exiting the potions lab.
Severus could understand Charlie’s frustration. He’d rushed home, frantic with worry thinking something was horribly wrong with Harry. That their young bond-mate was sick and dying, only to be met with cryptic comments and roadblocks between him and the answers he sought so desperately.
But the wait should make the information all the more miraculous, when Charlie did finally get his answers. Severus knew about the babies, but he was still concerned about what it meant for the three of them, particularly Harry.
As the twins grew, they were going to put increasing pressure on Harry’s back and the nerves for his legs. Severus had to try and develop a new potion that was safe for Harry to consume during the pregnancy, in order to prevent nerve damage. The anti-nausea potion would help with the morning sickness, but wouldn’t prevent nerve damage.
But all that could wait another hour or two. Charlie needed answers.
When Severus and Charlie joined Harry and Poppy in the living room again, there was a full tea service with cake and biscuits, sitting on the large mahogany coffee table that Charlie had made out of an old tree that had fallen down in the forest surrounding the Manor. There were similar pieces out in the back garden, made from the same tree. They came in handy when the rest of the Weasley clan visited.
Harry was sitting, or rather bouncing, on their favourite sofa, anxiously waiting to share his excitement with Charlie. Everyone knew that what Harry wanted most in the world was to be loved, and to have a family to share his overwhelming love and compassion with. Now his wish was coming true, he had two loving husbands and twins on the way. Harry could not be happier.
“I see what you mean, Severus. About keeping him from bouncing off the walls,” Charlie quipped as he joined his husbands on the sofa.
“Shut up, Charlie. You will be just as excited in a few minutes. Can I tell him now, Severus?”
“I fear he may throttle us both, if you wait any longer.”
Harry laughed and reached for Charlie’s hand, placing it on his stomach. “We’re going to be parents Charlie!” Harry beamed.
Charlie glanced at where his hand was resting, then to Harry’s face, followed by Severus’. “We’re going to be parents?” he echoed hollowly.
Charlie Weasley had never given much thought to the myth about Wizards being able to bear children, but now the myth was coming true, right before his eyes. He couldn’t wrap his head around what was being said. The three of them were going to be parents!
“We’re going to be parents!” the dragon-breeder exclaimed.
