(U)Chapter Two(U)

A/N Thanks to the person who said I didn't have to do the whole (U) thing to make it work but I only started because with one of my past stories it (B)didn't(B) work. So I think I'll keep doing it just in case. Hope it's not too annoying.

Teddy's cries the following morning woke everyone ridiculously early for a Saturday. Groaning Draco rolled over in his bed and looked at the alarm clock. 5:37am. On a Saturday. Burying his face back in the pillow he tried to block out the babies unhappy screams and go back to sleep. But nothing worked and so Draco gave up on sleep, stumbling down the stairs in need of a strong cup of tea, only dressed in his pyjama bottoms. His ribs and even his backbone showed terribly on his pale torso and the drawstring of the bottoms was done up much tighter than before.

swefjhHe found Harry in the kitchen, lifting Teddy out of the high chair, bouncing him in his arms and murmuring sweet words to him. Harry himself was only dressed in some black boxer shorts and Draco had to take a step back when he saw the other teen's body for the first time. He was hairy! But it wasn't a bad thing on Harry, it was quite a sexy thing on Harry…Draco frowned at him when he found himself thinking that about his old enemy.

"Oh Draco, you couldn't take Teddy for a minute could you? He's hungry but he won't settle enough for me to make his breakfast," Harry said, sounding relieved at the sight of the blond wizard.

"But I've never…" his protest was cut short as he found himself with an armful of baby, an armful of crying and wriggling baby. Draco made a startled noise and held Teddy as gently but tightly as possible, afraid of dropping him. He was also unsure about…well about the screaming. These were very different to the screams of his nightmares and his panic attacks but still…

"Thanks Draco," Harry said, rushing around the kitchen to get Teddy's breakfast ready, "As I'm putting the kettle on do you want a cuppa?"

"Um, yes thank you, that's what I came down to make," Draco said, surprised when Teddy stopped screaming and stared up at him, "That's better. What's all the fuss for then? Harry's getting you something to eat. He can't move any faster because you're screaming." Wide eyes blinked up at Draco and a little toothy smile appeared. "That's much better!"

Unknown to him it wasn't only Harry watching this adorable display with Teddy, his parents had come downstairs too and were watching from the door. Narcissa clutched at her heart as her son smiled down at the little boy, the first smile that Draco had smiled in a long, long time.

"And you called me a natural," Harry muttered, searching the kitchen for the mugs and the bowl he needed for Teddy's porridge style breakfast. "You need to eat more you know."

"What?" Draco asked startled, looking up from the amber eyes staring up at him. When he'd seen the colour of those eyes a moment before he'd thought it would hurt, so close were they to the Cullens eyes. But it didn't. They were Teddy's little eyes, wide and filled with tears.

"You're too thin, you need to eat more," Harry said calmly, continuing to create Teddy's breakfast and two cups of tea, "Here we are Teddy, you're mush is ready. You're teas the blue one Draco, I haven't put sugar in it," Harry said as he put the bowl on the kitchen table with his cup of tea and a spoon. When he took Teddy from Draco's arms the wailing started again. "Oh now that's not fair, my Godson likes you more than me."

"It's probably because I'm a new face," Draco said, picking up his cup of tea. He didn't like sugar in it and when he sipped at the hot liquid he found it was as strong as he liked it.

"Nah, I think it's because you're the first blond he's ever seen," Harry chuckled softly as he filled the spoon with the aptly named mush and pressed it to Teddy's lips. The little boy opened them eagerly and the mush disappeared.

"What about Luna?" Draco asked, "Surely he's met her?"

"Oh yes but Luna isn't blond any more," Harry laughed loudly to himself, continuing to feed Teddy. Draco frowned. "She's gone blue."

"Blue?" Draco gasped.

"Electric blue," Harry laughed, "As blue as you could ever imagine."

"Well…it is Luna," Draco muttered as if it explained everything and really, in this particular instance it did. Luna was…Luna!

"Lulu!" Teddy cried out suddenly between mouthfuls.

"He can talk!" Draco gasped in shock.

"Lulu!" Teddy repeated proudly.

"Of course he can, he's two years old. He's just shy around new people," Harry explained, taking a sip off his tea before returning to feeding the much happier child. "The problem I have is shutting him up. He picks up words like no bodies business so don't you dare swear around him. Ron's already taught him some choice words that I have to apologise for when he repeats them."

"Dada!" Teddy protested, Harry having stopped the full spoon a little way away from the babies mouth, "Num num!"

"I'm sorry Teddy," Harry said, moving the spoon into Teddy's open mouth, "See, he won't stop talking now he's started. Teddy? Teddy can you say Draco?"

"Dra'o," Teddy attempted the new word.

"Well done Teddy!" Harry cried happily, "Look Teddy, all gone!" Harry showed him the empty bowl. Teddy reached out and put his hand in the bowl as if to test that what he was seeing was true. "Do you want some juice?"

"Yes peas!" Teddy cried loudly, "Juice!"

"All right Teddy, go to Uncle Draco and daddy will get you some juice," Harry said, standing up and handing the boy over to Draco. This time Teddy went willingly, reaching up to pull on Draco's hair.

"You call yourself daddy?" Draco asked.

"He's too young to understand the meaning of godfather so until he grows up a bit more I'll be daddy and then he can decide what he wants to call me," Harry shrugged, pulling out the peach juice he'd brought with him. Pouring some in Teddy's special no spill cup he added water and handed it to the little boy still in Draco's arms.

"Juice!" Teddy cried happily, bringing holding onto the cup tightly with his free hand he brought it up to his lips and began to suck loudly at it.

"Yes, Teddy, juice," Harry smiled happily, ruffling the sandy blond hair. Before their eyes it promptly changed to platinum blond, just like Draco's, "Teddy got him mothers gift and his fathers temper around the full moon."

"Does he…?"

"No, he's not a werewolf," Harry said quickly, "He just gets very grumpy and bites me. A lot. Sort of like Bill only Bill's teeth get sharper than Teddy's." Draco nodded in understanding, remembering the talk of how Bill Weasley had been attacked by a werewolf in its human form and had been half infected. "But don't be fooled, it still hurts when Teddy bits. Doesn't it you little monster. Grrr!"

"Grrr!" Teddy growled back just as loudly. That was when Narcissa gave away their position, unable to contain it any longer. She let out a loud 'aw!' and the people in the kitchen jumped, looking over at her and Lucius.

"He is so adorable," she gushed, stepping into the kitchen, "You're raising him so well Harry. He's going to grow into a lovely little boy."

"Thank you Mrs Malfoy," Harry smiled at her.

"Oh dear boy after all you've done, please call me Narcissa," she said, reaching out to touch his hair softly, "You need to take a brush to that birds nest."

"Mother," Draco muttered embarrassed. Inside Narcissa was screaming with joy, this was the most animated that Draco had been since the Cullens had left.

"Well as we're all up how about I make us something to eat?" she asked happily, moving over to the fridge. "We've got bacon. How does a bacon sandwich sound to everyone?"

"Wonderful," Harry breathed, "I am starving."

"I would love a bacon sandwich my dear," Lucius said from where he leant against the door frame, watching his son holding the content little boy, still sucking noisily on his drink.

"None for me thanks," Draco said softly.

"No," Harry said sharply, "You need to eat."

"I'm not hungry," Draco protested and Harry sent a death glare his way.

"You look like a walking skeleton Draco Malfoy and I did not save you from wasting away in Azkaban only to see you waste away here!" Harry snapped. Draco froze, looking at his mother who looked away quickly. "You will eat something Draco even if I have to force you to."

Harry was doing something that neither Lucius or Narcissa had ever had the heart to do, he was being harsh to Draco. He was being plain with him, making him see the facts. They had always given in to him, wanting to spare him any pain that they might inflict on him, wanting to keep him safe. But they could see their son needed help and if they couldn't give it…well Harry Potter sure as hell was going to.

"You can't force me to eat anything Potter," Draco growled. Teddy looked up at him startled and Draco handed the child to Harry who quickly passed the baby to Narcissa who was all too willing to hold him. Harry grabbed Draco's arm as he tried to leave the kitchen.

"Wanna bet Malfoy?" he asked seriously, keeping a firm grip on Draco's thin arm, "You need to eat something Draco. It is not good for you and no one is worth this, no one is worth you starving yourself."

"I have not been starving myself!" Draco snapped, ashamed that someone thought he'd been doing something so childish as that…

"When was the last time you ate?" Harry asked calmly.

"What?" Draco asked.

"When was the last time you ate?"

"Yesterday," Draco answered, "Yesterday…morning."

"What was it?" Harry asked, still calm but still angry.

"An apple…half an apple," Draco answered slowly.

"And that was it for the whole day?" Harry asked. Draco nodded. "And you don't call that starving yourself?" Draco went to answer but found he couldn't. "You might not have been doing it on purpose but you have been doing it, you have been starving yourself and it stops right now. Do you understand me?"

"Y-yes," Draco said softly. Harry was…Harry was right. He'd been starving himself. But he just hadn't felt like eating! He hadn't felt like doing anything since…

"Well it changes now. So you sit down at that table, you hold Teddy because he likes you and you eat whatever is put on that table in front of you," Harry said sternly. Lucius resisted the urge to snort like a child. Harry Potter sounded just like Molly Weasley at that moment and Lucius could not blame his son for nodding in agreement.

Even though Harry and Teddy had only been there a day the change in Draco was amazing. He was smiling and talking, especially with innocent little Teddy. He'd even volunteered to be the one to give them the tour of the house, holding Teddy's little hand as he toddled along on his little legs looking even cuter than before.

Lucius and Narcissa took Harry aside at one point as he settled in and tried to thank him for what he was already doing to help with Draco but typically he would have none of it, thanking them instead for taking him and Teddy in even with all their own troubles.

It was Narcissa that suggested that they dine out on Harry's second night to celebrate their arrival. So they dressed warmly against the almost rain, strapped Teddy into his pushchair which had been magically packed in their the clothes and walked into town. They pointed out the important places to Harry like the school and library and the grocery store and he tried to take it all in. It was just starting to rain properly when they reached the diner and they rushed inside, finding the place far busier than they expected it to be on a Sunday.

"Hi, table for four plus a baby?" the waitress asked. They nodded and she glanced around the diner. "It'll be about twenty minutes, do you mind waiting?"

"No that's fine," Narcissa answered and so they waited by the door. The door opened behind them and they moved out of the way so that whoever it was could get inside out of the rain.

"Draco?" Bella's voice came from behind them and Draco turned to smile at her as she shook the rain out of her hair with her hand.

"Hi Bella," he greeted her, "How are you?"

"I'm…ok," Bella answered, hesitating slightly and looking over her shoulder at her dad who stood behind her. "You? Haven't seen you out of school in a while…" The two friends had stopped hanging out together when the Cullen's had gone, not on purposefully thought, it had just happened.

"I'm ok as well," Draco said and the two shared a sort of sad look as silence fell over the group. It was Teddy who finally broke the silence, yelling loudly at Bella,

"Pity!"

He even pointed at her with his little hand.

"Teddy, don't point," Harry scolded gently, tapping the boy's hand to make him lower it. He was a firm believer in teaching good manners from the start but teaching them the right way, not screaming like his uncle and aunt had when he'd been growing up. "And he means pretty." This was said to Bella who was staring at Teddy with a little frown on her face.

"Who are…" she began but Draco interrupted, Gasping loudly,

"Sorry! Look at my manners. Bella, this is Harry Potter and his godson Teddy Lupin. Harry, Teddy, this is my best friend and my first American friend Bella Swan." Draco had spoken loudly, very aware that everyone in the diner was discretely listening in to find out who the strangers were. It really was a town of gossips.

"Hi," Bella said with a little smile.

"Hello," Harry replied with a smile of his own, "Say hello to Bella, Teddy."

"Hewo," Teddy said, waving his had at her. She waved back.

"So cute," a little old lady near them said softly to her friend.

"So how long are you visiting?" Bella asked Harry.

"Well we've actually moved in with the Malfoy's indefinitely. They've very kindly transformed one of their rooms into a room for me and Teddy," Harry answered cheerfully.

"Oh," Bella mumbled, "Are Teddy's parents staying with you too?" she asked, looking at Draco. He bit his lip as Harry cleared his throat awkwardly, replying softly,

"They're dead." Bella wasn't the only person who gasped in shock. "When I turn eighteen I'm going to apply with the authorities to adopt him," Harry continued calmly, aware that everyone was now looking at him. "I wont let him go into care or to relations who cant or wont take care of him. No one should go through that."

"Right," Bella mumbled, not knowing what else to say.

"Sorry," Harry apologised, realising how angry he had sounded just then, "I grew up with my aunt and uncle and they made it very plain that they didn't want me. And even though Teddy's grandmother would take him in and try to love him she lost her husband and her daughter in the same year, she'd still grieving. I would feel guilty about leaving him with her.

"Uh-huh," Bella mumbled, still not knowing what to say.

"Mr Malfoy?" the friendly waitress was back, holding an armful of menu's, "We've got a booth free now so if you'll follow me. I've put a child seat out already."

"Thank you," Lucius said to her.

"Chief, your usual table will be free in a little while…"

"Why don't you join us?" Narcissa offered quickly, "There's room for two more in a booth right?" The waitress nodded and Narcissa clapped her hand happily, "Good, then we can all eat together."

"Uh…" Chief Swan began to protest.

"No, I insist," Narcissa said, linking arms with him and pulling him towards the empty booth, "It'll give our children time to catch up again."

"Er ok," Charlie finally agreed.

They all squashed onto the long seats of the booth while Harry removed Teddy from his pushchair and secured him into the plastic baby seat, frowning with concentration as he figured out how the straps on it worked.

"I'll put the pushchair behind the door," the waitress offered helpfully, wheeling the buggy over the coat rack and umbrella stand.

"Thank you," Harry called out to her.

Ordering took a long time and by the end of it they were apologising to the friendly waitress, everyone ordering something different and some of them asking for bits to be missed out. Teddy was going to have a few of Harry's chips and salad. The conversation was cheerful and light as Harry talked about simple things from home and Draco and Bella told him all about life in Forks.

"So Harry, will you be going to Forks High with these two?" Charlie asked.

"No Chief Swan," Harry shook his head, "I'd finished school in England and now I just want to focus on raising Teddy." Charlie looked a little surprised but nodded slowly. If Harry hadn't finished his education back in England Charlie would have protested even if it were to give the little boy a loving childhood.

They finished their meal and the plates were cleared, the waitress promising to have their deserts with them in a few moments. It was now that Bella told Draco about her trips to the reservation, hanging out with Jacob and working on his car.

"You?" Draco asked in surprise, "You're handling tools?"

"Yes," Bella all but growled.

"And she's had a concussion to prove it," Charlie muttered.

"Dad," Bella shushed him.

"Huh?" Harry asked, confused.

"Bella's a little accident prone," Draco explained as the girl in question glared at him. Harry nodded in understanding.

"Accident prone?" Charlie scoffed, "Bella attracts danger like a magnet."

"Dad!" Bella protested again.

"You kinda do Bella," Draco said softly, thinking of the dangers that falling for a vampire had brought both of them, "So is it fun? Helping Jacob with his car?"

"Yeah, it is," Bella nodded, "Hey you wanna come?"

"Uh, sure," Draco agreed, surprised by the offer, "It'll be nice to hang out again. I've missed our chats." He blushed as he realised just what he'd said in front of everyone. "Can Harry come too? I don't want to leave him alone…"

"I am capable of being alone you know," Harry pointed out.

"I know but…"

"Sure Harry can come," Bella interrupted.

"Thanks," Harry smiled at her. Teddy laughed and clapped happily. "Could I bring Teddy? It's a new place filled with new people and unlike me he won't be happy without me for a little while."

"I don't see why not," Bella shrugged.

"Cool. Then we'd love to come, meet this Jacob and see this Rez."

It was with almost perfect timing that their deserts arrived just then.

The following day Draco got up and got dressed for school, finding Harry in the kitchen feeding Teddy when he came down for his breakfast. For the first time in months he actually ate his breakfast. He was startled to hear to beeps come from outside and went to the window.

"Bella," he said puzzled, seeing the familiar red truck outside, "But she hasn't given me a lift since…"

"You'll be late," Narcissa said, hurrying her son out, eager to get the friends back together. She could clearly see that they were good for each other and they both needed help at this difficult time. If only those vampires hadn't stolen their hearts it would be much easier to forget them…

"Hi," Draco said as he slipped into the cab.

"I'm sorry," was the first thing that Bella said.

"What for?" Draco asked, puzzled.

"Not giving you a lift until now," Bella explained, "I'm sorry. I just…well…"

"I understand," Draco said softly, "You were coping."

"So were you," Bella mumbled, pulling away from the curb, "And neither of us seemed to do too well at that on our own."

"I know what you mean. Both our parents brought in the reserves," Draco chuckled softly, "Jacob for you, Harry for me, friends to help distract us from the loss of…well just the loss."

"Yeah," Bella nodded, "I think Jacob likes me."

"And that's a problem how?" Draco asked.

"Well, I don't think I'm ready for another relationship," Bella admitted.

"I understand," Draco nodded.

"So…do you and…are you and…well Harry…is…" Bella bit her lip as she stumbled trying to ask a relatively simple question.

"No. Harry and I are not right for each other," Draco shook his head, smiling softly, "He will always be held close in all the hearts of my family for what he's done for us over the years but…no, not me and Harry."

"Oh," Bella mumbled, "Sorry."

"Don't be," Draco said as the truck came to a halt in the car park, "Why is everyone staring at us today?"

"They've probably heard," Bella mumbled.

"Heard what?" Draco asked.

"It's a small town Draco, gossip spreads fast and Harry's arrival with Teddy is most definitely gossip," Bella pointed out as they slipped out of the cab, meeting at the front of the truck, "I missed doing this, walking into the school with you. It doesn't seem half as bad today."

"I know exactly what you mean," Draco said with a smile. They hadn't even taken two paces when Jessica rushed up to him, demanding to know who his hot friend was, what relation he was to the baby and if he was single. Typical Jessica.
