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.

Chapter Two

Draco was supervising Dippy who was cooking Breakfast, Andromeda was visiting his mother and his sister. He sighed, his hair was tied up and he sat sipping his coffee. Harry had been brooding since he'd mentioned a baby. He'd been thinking about another child since their babies had gone off to Hogwarts two Septembers ago. Honestly, he'd been really thinking about since Scorpius had turned eight…

Granted he probably shouldn't have said it in the same breath as Teddy is expecting a child…

Harry barely talked to him, was having another child with him so hard to consider?

He had wanted to cook himself but Dippy didn't like letting Master Draco work.

XoooooX

Harry stumbled down to the kitchen, waking to a cold empty bed and the smell of coffee standing out among the other smells. He was shocked to sudden awareness by the terrible sadness on Draco's face, the last time he'd seen Draco this upset was when he'd failed to tell Poppy that Scorpius was his or when someone made a cutting comment about a former Death Eater being good enough for the Chosen One- usually Ron. He cleared his throat but not before Dippy glared at him, he shifted nervously, "Morning Dray…we…need to talk…"

Draco nodded stiffly, "Dippy, Harry and I will be in the Library. You can bring breakfast in when it is finished."

"Dippy will. Dippy will also knock first. Masters Harry and Draco will need time to talk and Dippy won't disturb them long." their house elf turned back to the stove.

Harry knew that she was still angry with him for upsetting Draco, he had dealt with an angry Kreacher for years for not being Black [Pureblood] enough. He sighed as he shut the door, he hadn't gotten his coffee yet. He pulled up the drawer with their potions, he drank a pepper-up potion and a calming draught.

Draco said quietly from his place on the loveseat, "We've lived together for fourteen years and I still make you that nervous Harry…"

Harry threw himself into the armchair opposite Draco, "Yeah…I guess…"

Draco nodded, "I see…so the answer is no…"

Harry saw the look for disappointment and sorrow grow, he said quickly, "I…didn't say that…"

"Then what do you mean Harry…"

Harry asked softly, "Is the reason you want another child because Teddy is going to be a dad in about seven months…" he had been brooding for almost two months…

Draco shook his head, "I wanted to try after Scorpius was five but you never gave me the chance to ask. Then I never got pregnant again…I thought something was wrong with me because my kind is usually very fertile and I haven't cast a contraception spell since our snakes were babies. Whenever I asked Mother for a physical she always said I was just fine…"

Harry looked shaken, "You were willing to have more for that long…" he hadn't expected that…why hadn't Draco truly brought it up before? Or had he and perhaps, he had missed the question or the gentle prodding Draco would have no doubt given him.

Draco nodded, "Yes…you never seemed to notice when I mentioned babies and enjoying taking care of them."

Harry shifted nervously, "I must have misunderstood, we do have a habit of calling Scorpius, Al and Lily, the babies. I thought practically raising triplets would have cured you for wanting more children. I'm…sorry…"

Draco was about to speak when there was a loud knock.

"Dippy be here with breakfast for Masters."

Draco called out, "Come in…" he was not going to drop their discussion for long.

Dippy Apparated in with and set the tray on the coffee table, "Dippy be leaving Masters now. Dippy will come when called to take the tray…"

Draco nodded, "Thank you Dippy, we'll call if we want more."

"Yes, Master Draco."

There was a pop and the house elf was gone.

Draco crossed his arms, "You decided I would want that and didn't ask me…"

Harry winced, Bill was right; Draco was furious. He reached for a cup and poured himself coffee, "I guess you could put it that way."

"Give me one reason not to spend the night at the Manor…"

The Manor hadn't been sold, no one would buy it and Draco had decided to let Scorpius decide what to do with it when he came of age. He had been tempted to knock it down and build something untainted by the Dark Lord or Dark Arts; but Severus refused.

Harry's hand shook, "I'm sorry, we had our hands full with five kids. Three were close in age and trying to keep track of them was difficult."

Draco snorted, "That isn't true, you raised Teddy and James just fine between you and Andromeda without Ginny at all. When you found out about Scorpius, we managed to deal with five with ease- minus the challenges of raising a son who was never truly a child. Between the three of us and Dippy we had parenting under control. Bollocks Harry, we went on a belated honeymoon to the Continent when Teddy went to Hogwarts for the first time. Andromeda did just fine; Uncle Sev was giving the rest of our brood their Pre-Hogwarts education. I wanted to conceive then but nothing worked; it was the freest and most perfect anniversary gift you ever gave me. It would have been the perfect time, Scorpius, Al and Lily were almost six. By that time we were working more for George as well as involved with the Wizengamot. I could have taken time off to have a baby. Besides, do you know how much I regret how Scorpius was conceived? I tricked you…yet you didn't let me have what I wanted most." his eyes were wet but he was obviously too irate to cry.

Harry managed to finish his coffee, rapidly losing his appetite otherwise. Draco was so hurt and it broke his heart. He asked quietly, "What was it you wanted that I haven't given you." he was half-afraid of the answer…

Draco's jaw dropped and his eyes bulged in a very non-Slytherin way, "How can you ask me that? Merlin, Harry…" he drifted off in very poignant and rather insulting French that would have made Fleur blush. It took sometime for him to calm down, "I wanted a baby we made in love! Was that too much to expect from my husband? I wanted a little girl who looked like you. I love James, Albus and Lily; you know I do…but they are Ginny's whether she wanted them or not. They all have something from her; James has her eyes, Albus has her Freckles and Lily; it's a combination I can't explain- probably temperament. Albus looks like you and Scorpius like me…I want a baby that looks like it's ours…"

Harry felt like the biggest git in the world, Bill was right he'd made a mess of things. He set his coffee cup down, "I'm sorry, you are right. I should have discussed it with you. It was unfair of me to make a choice and not even consider your feelings."

Draco glared, "You made a huge mess, you're my husband. We're supposed to talk about things…we even discuss Wizengamot matters. It never matters then if we have differences in opinion because I knew even if we disagreed that we still loved each other. Like the Werewolf rights issue; people like Remus deserved rights and freedom like a normal wizard but those like the monster who turned him and attacked Bill don't deserve them. Where to draw the line and who should make the determination is where we differ."

Harry winced, werewolf rights was an issue they still hadn't come to an agreement on after thirteen years of marriage. He rubbed his Bonding ring, a nervous habit. "If you want another child so much Dray, you know I can't say no. Bill asked me something the other day…"

Draco picked at his plate of waffles, not really hungry anymore, "What was that…' he knew Harry saw Bill as a brother and the holder of the Prewitt seat had been one of their biggest supporters both in the Weasley family and in politics. He wasn't sure he was comfortable with Harry discussing their marriage with him.

"He asked…if we had another child…why didn't I consider carrying it myself."

Draco stared at him, "He what…"

Harry nodded, "He said I wasn't always the Chaser, how he came to that conclusion I don't know." Harry blushed, "…I know there are other ways for bent wizards to have kids besides being like you and George…" his face was now as red as his daughter's hair.

Draco nodded, "There is a charm but it isn't all that reliable, as well as potions. Blaisé used a potion not long after we Bonded and their Perseus started Hogwarts last year. Blaisé is annoyed because Charlie wants another child and he thinks it's his Mate's turn to be pregnant. What are you saying, Harry…"

Harry shifted nervously, "I don't understand, Ginny hated being pregnant but you reveled in it when I wasn't being a git that is. Raising our kids together made you very happy, we were a family. I noticed that you have a closer relationship to Scorpius, not because of your shared condition but because you carried him."

Draco nodded slowly, "It is hard not to love someone you carry beneath your heart for nine months. He may not have been made in love exactly, but Scorpius is ours in a different way then the others. I would never blood adopt our children because they deserve to look like their parents."

"Would…you be upset if I was considering the idea of carrying out child…"

Draco shook his head, "No…but I want to carry your baby again. Please Harry, I rarely ask for much…"

Harry smiled, "I don't know how we'll make this work but I want to. I wonder what the kids would say…"

"Lily would think it was funny, she is the youngest after all. Scorpius would accept it because we wouldn't be so focused on him and Albus; there is something unique about their relationship. Scorpius only lets others in so far, I've gotten used to it even if I don't really like it. James is starting to think about life after Hogwarts…he still has his eye on Rosie. Teddy would understand I think." Draco snorted, "I like Rosie and all but being related Ron Weasley turns my stomach. He still hates me…I've been nothing but pleasant to him." well, he did try, though Scorpius' argument hadn't helped much. He worried it made the strain worse, though he had nothing to do with it.

"I know Dray…I know…I just wish Ron would get over it. It's been thirteen years…I miss my best mate…"

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