Chapter three
Blaise slipped into the living room where the house elves had informed Blaise Harry, his mother and Orion were. Orion was now 4 weeks old and Harry had been able to get up and wander about properly for a week and a half now. The living room that the three were in had quickly become Harry's favourite and he spent most of his time there with Orion and Blaise. Today though Blaise had had to leave the house, and Harry and Orion's sides, for the first time since they had come home.
Draco had been pestering him about going to Malfoy mannor through letters and as much as Theo had tried putting Draco off and distracting him, Draco had clearly been getting more upset with Blaise's lack of appearance or eagerness to see him when normally he would have already visited dozens of times. Finally he hadn't been able to put it off any longer after Draco asked him if he had done something wrong or something to upset him. So he had forced himself away from Harry and Orion and gone to visit his friend. He wasn't sure how much good it had done though given that now his friend was clearly worried about him given how jumpy and distracted he had been the entire day, but at least Draco no longer thought that it was something that he had done.
Blaise stepped into the living room and smiled at the sight in front of him, even as something in his chest that had been building and tightening all day relaxed and disappeared. The living room was a warm place that Harry had fallen in love with almost on sight when Blaise had given the tour of the manor. It was painted in a deep blue with silver swirls decorating the walls, a black marble fireplace had the shapes of centaurs, hippogriffs, unicorns and phoenixes. Cherry wood furniture was uniquely carved. There was a cream love seat directly in front of the fire adding brightness to the room, a large white rug covered the blue carpet in front of the fire, and a cream cushion sat in the window seat which overlooked the beautiful gardens of Zabini manor.
Harry was sitting on the love seat curled up reading out loud one of the books he had found in the library on magical creatures while Orion was lying in his basinet awake but listening to his daddy's voice. Gabriella was on the window seat knitting what looked like a tiny jumper happily.
"You're going to have him more obsessed with animals than most children are," Blaise finally spoke as he stepped fully into the room, getting Harry's attention and a large smile off the teen.
"Blaise! Your back!" Harry beamed at him lowering the book.
"I am and I come baring presents," He smiled holding up the bag that he had been hiding behind his back. Walking over he fished out the cuddly toy that he had seen while shopping with Draco and hadn't been able to resist buying, saying of course that it was for his cousins daughter.
"Blaise you shouldn't have," Harry frowned slightly but his eyes lit up at the sight of the stag cuddly toy Blaise pulled out. "Where did you find that?" He gasped as Blaise picked Orion up and settled onto the sofa beside Harry, gently tapping the stag against Orion's cheek before pulling it away and repeating getting gurgles and wide smiles from Orion.
"I saw it in the shop and couldn't help myself, I thought you would like it. There are some other things and something in there for you as well," Blaise nodded to the bag as he cuddled Orion close and carried on playing.
"Oh Blaise, its lovely," Harry gasped as he pulled out the sapphire blue baby blanket with stars that glittered prettily that Blaise had also had to buy once he saw it. Next was the magical mobile with stars and planets that sparkled and moved about of their own accord. Harry chuckled when he pulled out the Honeydukes box of cockroach clusters that he had admitted being partial to about two weeks ago. He blushed slightly realising that Blaise had remembered something that had just been mentioned in conversation so long ago. Hermione's giggles and comments when they fire talked after Harry finished telling her how things were going didn't help.
He knew he was attracted to Blaise, and seeing the man with Orion stirred all sorts of things in him that worried him.
"These are really lovely Blaise but you didn't have to buy them," Harry said stroking the wonderfully soft blanket.
"I know I did not have to, I wanted to," Blaise smiled looking up from Orion to meet Harry's eyes. The air between them seemed to tighten and shift before Harry looked back down to his lap blushing. He had been doing that more and more lately giving Blaise hope that perhaps he wasn't going to get his heart broken. From where she was sitting watching the two Gabriella smiled brightly, she was rapidly coming to care greatly and love Harry, Orion was difficult not to fall in love with upon sight. She was praying with all she had that they would become her son-in-law and grandson very soon.
"Did you have a good time with Draco?" Harry asked carefully setting up the mobile over Orion's basinet before settling back and popping a cockroach cluster into his mouth. Unconsciously he leant a little towards Blaise's warm body.
"It was ok, he no longer thinks that I am annoyed at him," Blaise shrugged. Harry had been there to hear the howler Draco had sent, his tone angry but his words telling them both that he was worried he had done something wrong, it had been Harry that had forced Blaise out to spend the day with Draco. "But what are you still doing up Mr, its passed bedtime," Blaise said to Orion stroking a finger down his cheek, he had been a little upset when he realised that he had missed Orion's bed time, but he could give no good reason for leaving Draco's at only seven o'clock.
"He wouldn't settle at all, he showed us the impressive strength of his lungs until I brought him in here with us, he quietened but wouldn't go to sleep," Harry huffed.
"I think he missed you, he's used to you both putting him to bed now," Gabriella commented from her seat, chuckling inwardly when they both looked slightly startled, clearly having forgotten she was there. She wondered if they realised how much like a natural family they looked sitting there.
"Oh…I'm sure it was not that, Harry is his dad, he probably did not even realise I was gone," Blaise mumbled.
"Then why is he going to sleep now?" Harry chuckled looking down. Blaise looked as well and sure enough Orion's eyes were fluttering closed gently. "He missed you, he kept looking around every now and then and has been fussy all day,"
"I missed you both too, Draco kept shouting at me for being so distracted," Blaise smiled before flushing when he realised what he had said. Looking up quickly he caught his mother sneaking out the door out the corner of his eyes, but his attention was mostly on Harry's stunned, wide hopeful eyes.
"Do…do you mean that?" Harry asked quietly biting his lip.
"Yes…I missed both of you a lot. The entire day I just wanted to come back to you both," Blaise admitted, holding his breath once he was finished. He felt like he had just exposed his heart and was sitting waiting with a dagger hanging inches away from it.
"I missed you too, I couldn't settle, never mid Orion," Harry smiled shyly flicking his eyes away. Gently with his free hand Blaise reached up and tilted Harry's chin back towards him before leaning forwards and pressing a light, chaste kiss on Harry's lips. When he pulled away Harry kept his eyes closed but rested his forehead against Blaise's. "Blaise…"
"Trust me. I know you have been hurt, and I know you have Orion to think of now, but trust me," Blaise implored slightly desperately. Harry laughed softly and opened his eyes as he lifted his hands to cup Blaise's cheeks.
"If there is one person I trust with Orion, Blaise Zabini, it is you, and I trust you with our safety…it may be harder to give but I doubt my heart would be that much more difficult to trust you with, you already have part of it," Harry said amused, his green eyes glittering brightly. Blaise pressed their lips together firmer and for longer this time before pulling back with a happy smile that lit up his whisky eyes and caused Harry's breath to catch at the joy in it.
"That means more to me than you will ever know, you make me happy Harry, every day. I could not bare to see you, either of you, leave," Blaise confessed.
"I was dreading having to leave you, I couldn't bare the thought of not getting to see you every day, have breakfast with you while you read the papers, watch you playing with Orion, walking with you in the garden," Harry admitted breathing a sigh of relief at finally being able to tell Blaise this.
"Then stay with me, let me look after you, let me give you the happiness and family you deserve," Blaise took the jump and leapt to what he most wanted to say. Harry scanned his face silently for several achingly long minutes before he smiled joyfully and pressed their lips together.
"As long as you want us, we're not going anywhere,"
"Harry…I know I am not…but…I can not help how I feel and…Orion…I love Orion as a parent…as a father, and I understand if that is not what you want and I will ease back but…" Blaise blinked when his rambling was cut off by a pale hand covering his mouth, bright, happy green eyes sparkled when he looked at Harry confused.
"You have no idea how happy that makes me. How could you think that I wouldn't want the man that I am falling in love with to love my son as his own? I didn't want to say anything in case I scared you away but you are amazing with him, an amazing father to him. Lets face it you are practically a parent to him with the way you look after him, play with him, change him, cuddle him. You are an amazing person Blaise, I couldn't find anyone else more perfect to be his father,"
"Thank you, I was so worried you would think I was being pushy or taking over, or be angry with me for presuming," Blaise sighed in relief.
"Never…Blaise the guy I was with…I…should tell you who he is before…before we go further," Harry stammered not meeting Blaise's eyes. Blaise reached down and linked their fingers together in support and was happy to note Harry relaxed slightly.
"Harry you do not have to tell me anything," He comforted him.
"No…I do…you deserve to know if you are going to be involved with me, with us. I haven't told you, not because I'm ashamed or because I still have feelings for him. He hurt me at the time, and he gave me Orion, but I don't love him…I never actually felt anything as strong for him as I feel for you now. But…he's not important anymore, to me or Orion. But you should know. Roger Davies, he is Roger Davies," Harry breathed out.
"Thank you, for trusting me, for telling me. I will not wonder now. Now we can just focus on us, the three of us, a family," Blaise smiled shifting the now sleeping Orion into the crook of his other arm so he could wrap his now free one around Harry's shoulders and tug him into his side. Harry curled up against Blaise's delightfully warm, firm body, looking at his son sleeping happily in the arms of the man he was falling hard for, a man who apparently was falling for him too. He had never been more happy that he had gone into labour two weeks early.
