Author's note: Here I am with the next chapter :)

Thanks to the following reviewers: unneeded (Teddy wasn't insecure before so Harry doesn't recognize it. Plus he's good at hiding his true emotions if he wants to); delia cerrano (Unfortunately it'll be a while before they notice something amiss. Snape will help a bit in the end though); Claudia; bcjink; SP777(Luna is a favourite of mine; she's fun to write. And yeah Teddy won't be happy for a while); qwerty; A-Lexus

Warnings: a bit OOC of Teddy I suppose but that can't be helped. Also moments of angst

I hope you'll like this chapter

Chapter 38

Still 8th of April: evening

Draco looked up when the door opened and Harry entered their bedroom, looking tired. He sat up straight in bed and placed the book he had been reading on the nightstand.

"Harry?" He questioned when his lover let himself fall down on the bed with a sigh.

"I told Teddy I'm pregnant." Harry answered softly, taking his glasses off and rubbing his eyes.

"Ah." Draco paused. "And how did he react?"

Harry bit his lip. "I don't know really. He didn't really say anything about it, but he didn't get angry either." He shrugged helplessly. "To be honest, I don't know how he thinks about getting a new sibling."

"Do you want me to talk to him and see how he feels about the baby?" Draco offered and trailed a circle on Harry's stomach with his hand.

Harry shrugged and sat up to lean against the headboard, fluffing up the pillow to lay it behind his back. "Let's wait a bit more; maybe he's in shock of hearing the news and comes to us later."

"Maybe." Draco muttered.

"Well, I guess we can tell Scorpius tomorrow then about the pregnancy. It wouldn't be fair to leave him out after all." Harry chuckled weakly.

"He'll be ecstatic; I can assure you of that." His lover replied dryly, kissing his neck.

Harry snorted. "I don't doubt that – not after all those pictures he made of me pregnant."

Draco grinned. "Maybe he has Seer blood." He joked, shifting his body to lie between Harry's legs.

Harry stared at the ceiling surprised. "Do the Malfoys have Seer blood in the family?" He asked fascinated.

Draco paused from his exploration of Harry's stomach and stared at him pensively. "I don't know. I think there has been a Seer in the family some generations ago, but I don't know if he was a true Seer or just a fake one." He shrugged and pushed Harry's shirt further up to reveal more of his stomach.

Only now did Harry take notice of their position. He blinked and looked down at the blond hair that was obscuring his sight of his lover's face. "What are you doing?" He asked dryly when he felt lips and fingers sliding over the centre of his stomach. It was tickling him a bit and he squirmed lightly, placing his hands on warm hard shoulders.

"I'm worshiping your belly." Draco replied absently.

"I don't have a belly!" Harry protested, sitting up straight, dislodging Draco in the process. "I'm only three months far – that's too early for me to start showing."

Draco rolled his eyes and sat up too, crossing his legs and placing his hands against Harry's stomach. "That's not too early – Daphne got a belly then too. It's not big, but it's there." He insisted and trailed his hands up and down over the bare skin.

"God, you can be annoying." Harry muttered and shook his head, trying to fend off the insistent hands. "Why do you have an obsession with my stomach?"

"Because there's where my child is being kept." Draco said dryly. Suddenly a mischievous gleam entered his eyes and Harry got wary. "But if your other body parts feel neglected, I'm sure I can satisfy them." He smirked and pushed his lover down on his back.

"How romantic." Harry snorted and clasped his hands around Draco's neck, shivering when he felt the hot breath hitting his own neck. A hand cupping his growing erection made him moan.

"Romantic or not, you can't deny you want me." Draco replied smugly and then proceeded to show Harry exactly how much he appreciated his body as a whole.

9th of April

The following morning at breakfast, Harry's stomach was filled with fluttering butterflies; he knew there was no reason to be nervous because Scorpius had expressed quite clearly his wish for another sibling, but he couldn't help it. Was it maybe too soon to spring the news of the pregnancy on the young boy after telling him of the engagement?

Harry tapped his foot impatiently on the wooden floor, twirling his spoon in his bowl with cereal, waiting for the light tapping noise that would signify Scorpius' arrival.

A hand on his stopped his twirling and he looked up startled, right in grey amused eyes.

"Why are you so nervous? Scorpius will be jumping in joy after hearing the news." Draco said dryly.

Harry bit his lip, smiling. "Are Malfoys allowed to jump in joy?" He asked impishly.

That remark earned him a smack on his thigh and an eye roll. He laughed and bent over to give Draco a quick soft kiss on his just shaved cheek.

He straightened up when he heard light footsteps coming to the dining room. Teddy hadn't come down yet, so he assumed he was still sleeping soundly.

The door opened and Scorpius entered, still clad in white pajamas, his feet bare, his blond hair mussed from sleep. He toddled over to the table, his little fists rubbing the sleep out of his bleary eyes. He climbed up the chair, plopping down on the cushion with a soft sigh, blinking sleepily at his plate where a waffle with whipped cream appeared on, courtesy of the house elf in the kitchen.

"Good morning, daddy, papa." He muttered, hiding his yawn behind his hand.

"Good morning, Scorpius." Draco smiled, taking a sip of his coffee.

"Morning, sweetie." Harry greeted back, crossing his legs. He placed his spoon in the bowl and started fiddling with his engagement ring. God, how was he supposed to tell Scorpius of the pregnancy? It had been easy with Teddy – awkward, but easy considering Teddy had had already a hunch about what was happening. Scorpius would be taken completely by surprise.

Scorpius had only taken three bites of his warm waffle when Draco decided it was time to tell him the news.

"Scorpius, your daddy and I have to tell you something." He began, but was stopped by a kick against his chin, making him scowl at Harry who glared back.

Scorpius looked between them confused. "What, papa?" He asked curiously, placing his waffle back down, a blob of whipped cream still on his nose.

Harry rolled his eyes and reached over to wipe the cream away with his napkin, making Scorpius smile sheepishly.

"Can't it wait until he has eaten his breakfast and is fully awake?" Harry asked irritated, wanting to stall a bit more.

"Why would we wait? He's awake, aren't you, Scorpius?" Draco smiled and winked at his son, who grinned back.

"I'm awake, daddy." He chirped, his little legs swishing back and forth, now more curious than ever.

Daddy sighed and ranked his hands through his hair messing it up further. "Fine." He grumbled. "You tell him then, seeing as you're so eager."

Papa grinned and turned towards him, his grey eyes glittering with joy. "You remember your drawings of daddy having a baby?" He began.

Scorpius nodded, confused as to what his drawings had to do with the news he would be getting.

"Well, in your daddy's belly," Papa pointed towards daddy's stomach, "there's now a little baby. You're getting a little sister or a little brother in six months, Scorpius."

Scorpius' mouth fell open, shaped in an 'o'. He couldn't take his eyes off his daddy's stomach. "Really, daddy, there's a baby in your belly?" He asked speechlessly, not daring to believe it.

Daddy nodded, a gentle smile lighting up his face. "Yes, sweetie, there's really a baby in my belly." He replied amused.

Grey eyes widened more and Scorpius squealed, clapping his hands and scrambling off the chair, running to his daddy. Daddy turned towards him and lifted him up on his lap. Immediately he placed his hands on his daddy's stomach, furrowing his eyebrows when he felt nothing. "But daddy, I can't feel anything." He complained and pushed his hands harder against daddy's stomach.

Daddy laughed, his green eyes shining. "Honey, you won't feel anything just yet. The baby has to grow a bit more before you can feel the kicking." He explained, stroking the blond hair back.

Scorpius pouted, taking his hands away. "But when will the baby kick?" He asked, cocking his head to the right.

"I think you can feel the baby kick in a month." Papa answered, standing behind daddy with his hands on his shoulders, looking down on him.

"A month? But that's too long." He whined, pouting more.

Papa chuckled. "That's not too long. Tell you what: when daddy feels the baby kicking, he will come and tell you immediately so that you can feel the kicking too, is that okay?" He proposed.

Scorpius nodded enthusiastically, his spirits lifted up again. He could wait a month if that meant his daddy would let him feel the kicking immediately.

"To make sure you won't have to wait too long, I can already tell you that in two weeks you can see the baby already." Papa told him, rubbing over daddy's shoulders, making daddy lean into him.

Scorpius blinked. "But papa, you said that the baby will be here in six months. I can't see the baby now, he's too little. You said so." He pointed out.

Daddy laughed. "You're right, Scorpius, the baby is too little to be born now, but what your papa means is that in two weeks a nice lady will come and make an image appear above my belly that will show the baby how he or she is now." He explained. "So we can see your little brother or sister already instead of waiting for six months."

"Oooh." Scorpius nodded and hugged daddy, laying his head against daddy's chest, listening to the comforting thump thump of daddy's heart. Then he looked up again when a question popped up in his head. "Daddy, how did the baby get in your belly?" He asked curiously. His mommy had only told him that babies came from their mommy's belly, but she had never told him how the baby got in the belly in the first place.

Both papa and daddy got very red which confused the little boy.

"Eh, the baby came in your daddy's belly because …" Papa faltered, biting his lip.

Scorpius decided to help his papa. "Is it because you marry daddy?" He asked innocently, thinking back to when his mommy told him that first the parents had to get married to get a baby.

Daddy looked relieved. "Yes, that's why. Because we're going to marry, your little brother or sister decided it was time to get in my belly." He fumbled, hoping that the explanation would placate the boy until much, much later when he was ready for 'the' talk.

Scorpius nodded in understanding and laid his head back against daddy's chest, comforted by the thump sound of daddy's heart.

He couldn't wait until he could see his little brother or sister.

As soon as breakfast had ended, Scorpius skipped upstairs when his brother hadn't come down to eat. He trailed his hand over the white cool railing and hummed excitedly. He still had troubles believing that he would get another sibling in just six months. Now he finally had the family he had always wanted.

With a big smile on his face, he stopped right in front of the closed door of Teddy's bedroom and knocked on it loudly. He brought his hands behind his back when the door opened after fifteen seconds revealing a very sleep and very annoyed dark haired Teddy, who was glaring at him through half lidded eyes.

"What do you want?" The boy growled.

Scorpius just beamed at him and slipped underneath his spread arms in the room. He bounced to the messed up bed and plopped down on it, still beaming at his brother who had closed the door and was standing with crossed arms.

"I repeat: what do you want?" Teddy asked annoyed, leaning against the closed door. He was still sour about the fact there would be a new addition to the family and Scorpius bouncing into his room uninvited didn't help improve his mood.

"Teddy, Teddy," Scorpius chirped, clapping his hands. "Do you know what's in daddy's belly?"

Teddy tensed and lowered his arms, looking away. Without acknowledging the boy on his bed, he walked over to his wardrobe and started shifting through the clothes, wondering what he would wear today. He tried to keep his mind focused on the task of choosing clothes instead of thinking of the baby, but it was rather hard when a bouncing excited child was babbling behind his back.

"Daddy has a baby in his belly, Teddy!" Scorpius exclaimed. "We get a little sister or a little brother. That's fantastic, isn't it, Teddy?" He continued talking even when Teddy kept ignoring him. "Daddy said he comes to me when the baby kicks so I can feel it too!" He clapped again in his hands, the sharp smacking grating on Teddy's nerves.

Clenching his hands around the green sweater in his hands, Teddy tried to control his breathing to avoid blowing up at the blond boy. Couldn't that brat keep his mouth shut for more than two minutes? Why was he here anyway? Shouldn't he be bothering his own dad?

"What do you think, Teddy? Think we get a sister or a brother?" Scorpius asked, looking at the ceiling with a frown marring his forehead. The frown didn't last long before it was replaced with another blinding smile. "Doesn't matter, right? We still get to play with it! It's going to be so fun!"

That was all Teddy could take. He had tried to keep his patience, but there was only so much squealing and babbling he could take before he exploded. He turned around in a flash and glared harder at Scorpius, who finally noticed his brother's dark mood and shut up immediately, fiddling with his pajamas' sleeves nervously and keeping his body completely still. He bit his lower lip and relented under the glare, staring at the white bed sheets.

"Why do you think it will be fun to have another sibling? There's nothing fun about it!" Teddy hissed, his sweater falling on the carpeted floor when his hands balled in fists at his sides.

Scorpius gulped and dared to look at the enraged boy again, feeling a bit like a deer in front of a hunter. "Why wouldn't it be fun?" He asked with a small voice. "We can play with our little brother or sister – it will be nice to play with more people."

"Do you still think it will be nice when that baby takes all the attention of your dad?" Teddy asked snidely, his brown eyes changing into poisonous green ones.

"Daddy and papa will pay attention to us too." Scorpius remarked, his voice another notch smaller. He didn't understand why Teddy was so angry about the prospect of another playmate. Why would he think that their daddies wouldn't have time for them anymore? They would still be their sons too and the little boy was sure their parents would be proud if he helped taking care of his little brother or sister. Didn't Teddy want another brother or sister?

Teddy snorted, startling Scorpius who jumped up at the unexpected sound. "Yeah right, of course. Keep on dreaming, idiot." He muttered, narrowing his eyes.

He knew what happened to children whose parents got another baby. The baby would get all the attention and the parents would be too tired to pay attention to their other children. He had seen it happening with a few of his own friends. One of his friends, Jamie, came a year ago angry to class and wouldn't tell what was wrong. During recess, Teddy had cornered the boy and had asked what was wrong with him. It turned out that Jamie's mother had had a baby and was now paying most of her attention to the new addition to the family instead of paying attention to Jamie. Jamie complained that his parents didn't have time for him to play with him because they were always so tired of taking care of his baby sister who kept them up almost every night with her loud obnoxious wailing. Jamie had told him he should be happy with his dad being single because he would always get all the attention he needed and wanted.

Teddy snorted inwardly, feeling bitter. He had thought he had been lucky too until yesterday that is. Why his dad had decided to keep the baby, he still didn't understand. His dad had always been so rational – shouldn't he have realized that it was too soon for a baby? Draco had only just asked him to marry him. Now they were already expecting a baby. It was all happening too soon. His dad should have waited longer for everything. The sudden marriage, Teddy could handle that, but a new baby? That was asking too much of him.

Scorpius narrowed his own eyes at hearing the insult and puffed his cheeks up in anger. "I'm not an idiot!" He yelled, balling his own fists, his cheeks flushed.

"Yes, you are." Teddy snapped and turned around, dismissing the trembling boy. That was until he felt fists hitting his back.

"I'm not an idiot! Take that back!" Scorpius screamed, tears of anger forming in his eyes, obscuring his vision. Never once in his life had someone called him an idiot. He was a bright and smart boy – uncle Sev and papa always said that. He wasn't an idiot. "You're the idiot!" He threw back, wanting to hurt the older boy as much as he had hurt him. He cried out in pain when he felt hands gripping his arms tightly and pushing him away harshly.

"Stop hitting me." Teddy growled, the anger leaving a hot trail through his body and making his legs tremble.

Scorpius glared at him in response and suddenly his foot shot out and kicked Teddy hard in his leg, making him hiss in pain and falter a bit.

The anger flared up hotly and before Teddy realized it, he felt something sparking from his hands and Scorpius crying out in pain. He blinked and pulled his hands away abruptly staring at the boy in front of him who was now openly crying and gripping both his arms. A filthy smell rose up and hit Teddy in his face and he recognized it as the smell of burnt flesh. Eyes widening, he realized that his magic had burnt Scorpius' arms, as a response to his anger.

"I'm going to tell daddy and papa you hurt me!" Scorpius screamed and ran out of the room, his feet tapping loudly on the stairs.

"Shit." Teddy cursed and bit his lip, knowing he was in big trouble. He sank to the ground and leant against his wardrobe, putting his arms around his legs, hiding his face in his pulled up knees. He felt tears stinging his eyes, making them burn and he swallowed the lump away in his throat. His dad would be so angry now; he would be more convinced that the baby would be better than Teddy. Why couldn't he have controlled himself? He had never reacted that bad before – his magic had never reacted that violately.

Just yesterday he had sworn he would be the perfect son for his dad and already he had messed it up. He shivered and curled up in a tighter ball. He had blown it now. His dad would be furious with him and it was all his fault.

He stifled a sob and stayed seated on the ground, waiting in fear for the footsteps that would surely come to him soon to punish him.

"Any plans for today?" Draco asked when his son had disappeared upstairs.

Harry shrugged. "I was thinking about studying a bit more. It won't be long before I can ask to take the exam." He smiled, stretching.

Draco frowned. "You're not going to practice as Healer when you're pregnant." He admonished him. "The baby will take a lot out of you and there's no way you are going to risk your health and that of our baby."

Harry rolled his eyes. "Of course I'm going to wait until after the birth. I'm not stupid." He narrowed his eyes in warning when Draco opened his mouth to reply. "Be careful with what you say next, Draco."

Draco smiled nervously, deciding it was better for his health – and his sex life – if he just kept his mouth shut. He stood up and walked over to his lover, bending down to give him a kiss. "Well, I unfortunately have to read some documents. Ah, the horror." He sighed melodramatically.

Harry chuckled and kissed him back. "Poor you." He said unsympathetically.

"Indeed poor me. Now have pity on me and give me an excuse to not read those documents." Draco demanded, not joking one bit. He knew he didn't have to do much, besides keeping control over the employees in the various companies spread over the world and seeing that the right documents were signed, but it was boring as hell and there were days when he wondered why he just didn't give the reign over the companies to someone else. It was especially annoying now that he had a very sexy lover that was just begging to be molested every morning. And midday. And evening. And sometimes during the night too. He couldn't help himself – all Malfoys had an eye for perfection.

"Now why would I do that?" Harry asked amused, his green eyes shining with laughter. "I can't possibly be responsible for you slacking your work, can I? Be a good boy and go do your job."

"If I have to suffer through my boring work, your ass is going to suffer tonight." Draco muttered darkly, scowling at his fiancé.

Harry just laughed and shook his head, not impressed by the threat.

They both almost jumped three feet in the air when the door banged open and a crying blond blur attached himself to Harry who put his arms around Scorpius bewildered.

"Honey, what's wrong?" He asked worriedly when Scorpius continued sobbing without saying anything.

Scorpius just shook his head and buried his face harder against Harry's stomach.

Harry looked helplessly at Draco who frowned and bent down on his knees, getting himself at eye level with his son. He began to caress the trembling back and murmured, "Scorpius, what happened? Did you hurt yourself?" He checked Scorpius' body as much as he could in the position the boy stood in and couldn't find any noticeable scratch or bruise. If he had fallen down the stairs, he wouldn't have been able to run here and get comfort from Harry.

"Scorpius, please tell us what happened." Harry cooed softly and stroked the soft blond hair, hearing the boy sniff. Balled fists came up to catch Harry's sweater and in doing so, Harry caught a glimpse of black spots on the red sweater. One large black spot on each sleeve. Frowning, he grabbed the arms softly and brought them into the light to exam the spots better. He gasped in shock when he saw the red shining skin underneath the ruined sleeves.

"Sweetie, how did you burn yourself?" He asked calmly, putting the boy on his lap.

Draco looked up alarmed and examined the arms himself, before cutting off the sleeves and holding the arms away from Harry above the floor, he took his wand and conjured cold water of them, making Scorpius cry out when the cold water stung his wounds.

"Sorry, but I had to clean your wound, sweetie." Draco murmured and summoned a tube of healing balm, carefully rubbing it on the blistering wounds, making Scorpius cry out harder.

Harry began to rub his back in a soothing manner, trying to distract the boy.

"Scorpius, tell me what happened." He ordered softly.

Scorpius sniffed and his whole body trembled, but he turned to face his daddy with large teary eyes. "Teddy is angry because I'm happy that you have a baby in your belly." He sobbed, still afraid when he thought back of what had happened in the bedroom. He still couldn't believe that his brother had been so mad at him. Why had he hurt him so badly?

Both men tensed and looked at each other over Scorpius' head. "Was Teddy the one who hurt you?" Harry asked in a controlled voice.

Scorpius shivered and nodded, burying his face in Harry's chest.

Harry closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to avoid his hands clenching around Scorpius. It wouldn't do to hurt him even more.

He had thought that Teddy was making progress with Scorpius. There hadn't been that many fights and Teddy had been polite and even played with the younger boy occasionally. Why had it gone downhill so suddenly? He assumed Teddy had lost control of his magic and burnt Scorpius with his out lash which made it even more worrying because Teddy had never lost control of his magic this bad before. What was going on in that boy's head? Was he that upset that he would get a new sibling? Why hadn't he told him that? And why was he so upset? It wasn't as if Harry would stop loving him as soon as the baby was born. Hadn't he convinced the boy of that?

Still that was no excuse for him hurting Scorpius this badly.

"Harry?" Draco looked at him, his eyes silently asking if he should go and talk to Teddy.

Harry shook his head and stood up, placing Scorpius on his seat. Scorpius hiccuped and rubbed in his eyes, getting tired of the crying he had done.

"I'm going to talk to Teddy." Harry muttered sighing.

Draco stood up and took Scorpius on his hip, rubbing his back. "Are you sure? I can go talk to him." He suggested. "I don't want you to stress yourself." He added worriedly.

"I'll be fine. I'm just going to talk to him." Harry reassured him and walked out of the room, leaving Draco to comfort his son, who had started sobbing again, but now more tiredly.

Walking up the grand stairs, Harry tried to calm himself down. He was angry that Teddy had hurt Scorpius so badly, but it wouldn't do to yell at the boy and make him more miserable. He didn't deserve that. Still he would have words with his godson – hurting other people was not acceptable, no matter how angry or upset he got.

He took a deep breath and opened the door slowly. Looking around, he finally spotted Teddy curled up in a ball against his open wardrobe, hiding his face behind his knees.

He sighed and closed the door, walking over to the trembling boy. Coming to a hold in front of Teddy, Harry crossed his arms and sighed again.

"Teddy, why did you hurt Scorpius?" He asked in a controlled voice.

It should have been impossible, but Teddy managed to curl up tighter, refusing to look up in what he was sure his dad's disappointed face.

"Teddy, answer me." Harry said a bit harder, surprised that his godson hadn't looked up and defended himself yet.

Teddy shook his head and tried to hide his sobs. He was shivering and trembling all over his body and he was terrified to look up at his dad. He had disappointed him – he heard it in his dad's voice. He didn't know what was worse: dad being angry at him or disappointed with him.

"Teddy, answer me now!" Harry repeated harshly, his patience disappearing slowly. He only wanted to know what was bothering Teddy, but the boy was making it very difficult for him to keep his patience and his anger in check.

Those damn hormones, he thought sourly. At least the nausea had finally disappeared.

He knelt down and gripped Teddy's arms softly, pulling them away to reveal his tear stricken face, red and blotchy from the silent crying.

"Teddy." He warned him.

"I – I didn't mean to." The boy sobbed, his brown eyes staring at him scared. He got up on his knees and wanted to hug his dad, but to his horror was pushed away, his dad keeping him on arm length, his large hands still gripping his upper arms. Dad shook his head sternly, looking at him with a frown marring his forehead.

Teddy's lower lip trembled and fresh tears began to spill over from his eyes. His dad had never pushed him away before. Had he really been that bad that his dad didn't love him anymore? He hadn't meant to hurt Scorpius – it just happened. It was the younger boy's fault; if he hadn't kept on whining about the baby, Teddy wouldn't have lost his patience with him. But now his dad was furious with him and he would probably decide to leave Teddy with his grandmother, getting rid of him because he had been a bad boy.

"Teddy, why did you hurt Scorpius?" Harry repeated, wanting a real answer. He had guessed his godson hadn't meant to hurt Scorpius, but he still needed to know why Teddy had lost control.

Teddy shook his head, closing his eyes. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I'm sorry." He kept repeating, hiccuping. He didn't want to be send away; he wanted to stay with his dad, showing him he could be a good boy.

"I know you're sorry, but why did you get angry at him?" Harry asked, still refusing to let Teddy get closer to him. He needed to hear the reason of the out lash first before he would console the boy. Otherwise these accidents were likely to happen again.

"He – he just kept babbling. He was annoying." Teddy whispered, trying to stifle his sobs. Big boys like him didn't blubber like babies. "I – I called him an idiot and he began to hit me. I grabbed his arms but then he kicked me and I got angry." He hung his head down. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to hurt him, I really didn't! I'm sorry!"

Harry sighed wearily. He knew that there was something Teddy wasn't telling him. Even if Scorpius had annoyed him and hit him, Teddy had gotten angry before that, otherwise his out last wouldn't have been that bad. "Scorpius told me you got angry at him because he told you of the baby. Why did you get angry, Teddy?" He asked. An uneasy feeling rose up in his stomach; wasn't Teddy happy with the baby? He had assumed Teddy wouldn't mind having another sibling, but since when did assuming get him anywhere? Teddy hadn't told him what he thought of the baby he realized with dread. In fact he hadn't said a word about it, not even after Harry had reassured him he would always love him.

Teddy looked away, his arms hanging limp in Harry's hands. "Don't know." He whispered, not wanting to tell his dad what he really thought of the baby growing inside his dad. He knew that would hurt his dad and he couldn't bear the thought of angering and hurting him more.

"You don't know why you got angry?" Harry said incredulously. Teddy shook his head, refusing to look at him. "Teddy, did you get angry because of the baby?" He asked carefully.

Teddy shook his head again, sniveling a bit.

"You know you can tell me everything, you know that, right?" Harry murmured.

Teddy swallowed and he risked a quick glance at his dad's face. It didn't reveal anything. "Are you going to send me away to grandma now?" He asked in a small voice, fear slipping in his tone.

Harry stared at him surprised. "Why would I send you away?"

"Because I've been a bad boy." Teddy replied ashamed. He was startled when he was suddenly pressed up against a warm chest, arms surrounding his body and hugging him tightly.

"You silly boy." Harry sighed and stroked his hair. "Of course I'm not going to send you away. I still love you, I'll always love you, but promise me you won't hurt Scorpius again. Can you promise that?"

Teddy nodded; he would do anything if that meant his dad was happy with him and would continue to love him. "I promise." He murmured, sliding his own arms around his dad's waist.

"Good, now you have to apologize to Scorpius too." Harry said firmly, but still hugged him. "Hurting someone is never good and he deserves an apology. He'll apologize to you as well because he started the hitting."

Teddy nodded, happy and relieved that his dad still loved him.

Scorpius had been wary when Teddy had come up to him to apologize – which was of course understandable because his brother had burned his arms just an hour ago. Teddy had refused to look him in his eyes, but he had muttered a soft "I'm sorry for hurting you. I didn't mean too.".

Scorpius had apologized too because he knew he shouldn't have hit and kicked his brother.

After their apologies, they had been both hugged by their dads after having promised to try and get along.

22nd of April

Scorpius had been excited all morning. Papa had told him that today the nice lady would come over and show him a picture of his little brother or sister. He could hardly wait! He had been bouncing and kicking his legs back and forth underneath his desk, while trying to concentrate on the lesson. It had been hard and Uncle Sev had to slap his desk multiple times to catch his attention again. Uncle Sev had never scowled so much at him as today, but he couldn't help himself! He was just so excited to finally see the baby.

They were now waiting in daddy's room, because papa had decided it would easier for daddy if he could lie down during the examination. His daddy had protested, but had to give up eventually.

Scorpius looked at Teddy who was huddled up on a large cushion in a corner reading a book. Since their fight, neither one of them had talked about the baby again. Even though Scorpius wanted nothing more than chatter about his little sister or brother, he was afraid that Teddy would snap again and hurt him again. His burn marks had healed but he still hadn't forgotten the furious look in Teddy's eyes. It still made him shiver when he remembered that look.

"Are you cold, Scorpius?" Daddy asked concerned. He was lying propped up against various pillows on the bed, flicking through a magazine. Papa was leaning against the wall, massaging daddy's legs that were placed on his legs.

Scorpius shook his head. "No, I'm not cold." He chirped and abandoned his puzzle to crawl on the bed next to daddy. "When is the nice lady coming?"

"She should be here any minute now." Daddy smiled, stroking his hair briefly.

As if on cue, a house elf popped in the room, bowing. "Master Draco, lady Lovegood waiting in hallway."

Papa smiled. "Let her come up."

The house elf – Scorpius always forgot their names because there were so many of them – nodded and after bowing again, he disappeared again.

Four minutes later, the door opened and a pretty blond haired woman entered the room with a dreamy smile.

"Hello Harry. I hope you and the baby have been well." She said skipping over to the bed, while looking around her in interest.

Daddy smiled. "The baby and I are fine, Luna, thanks for asking."

Luna blinked and suddenly looked at Scorpius, who blushed at the intense attention. "And you are Scorpius." She smiled. "You're a cute boy."

"Thank you, Miss." Scorpius stammered, blushing harder.

"Name is Luna, sweetie." She twirled around again, directing her dreamy gaze at Teddy. "And you are Teddy."

Teddy nodded warily. He didn't recognize this weird lady – still it seemed that his dad knew her. Had they met before?

"Good, good." She smiled happily before turning to his dad again. "Ready to see the baby?" She asked, staring at a bird that was flying in front of the window.

Daddy nodded. "Yes, Teddy, come sit here so you can look too." He smiled brightly and patted the place on his other side.

Teddy hesitated, not really interested in seeing the baby, but he remembered his promise to make his dad happy and walked over to him, sitting down next to him warily. Dad smiled excitedly and grabbed his hand. Draco scooted a bit closer to them, eyeing Luna warily. He still didn't trust her completely – hell, how was he supposed to trust her when she kept diverting her attention to everything that moved? He hoped she wouldn't budge up the spell. He winced when that thought crossed his mind and he gripped Harry's leg.

Luna hummed and after checking his vitals, she jumped up and pointed her wand at his stomach.

"Declaro natus." She said clearly and a blue bell surrounded Harry's stomach before slowly raising up in the air and expanding until it formed a screen; it was fuzzy and grey and when one looked intently there could be seen something moving. Another swish of her wand and suddenly a quick thump thump was heard in the silent room.

"Is that … the baby's heart?" Harry asked, swallowing the lump in his throat. He had never thought he would hear something so beautiful. Luna nodded happily and looked at the screen.

"Yes, that's your baby's heart. It beats healthy." She beamed and pointed at a fuzzy blob in the centre of the screen. "Look, here's your baby."

Harry's vision got fuzzy and he realized a few seconds later that he was crying. "Oh my god, I can't believe it." He laughed through his tears.

"In a month I should be able to tell you if it's a boy or a girl." Luna informed them, sitting down on a conjured bean bag, giving the little family the time to look at the baby.

"The baby is so tiny." Scorpius said in awe, staring at the screen. So this was his little brother or sister. He could hardly wait to meet him or her.

"Yes, it's tiny." Draco agreed, a lump constricting his throat. He had been there with all the examinations of Scorpius of course and had known what to expect, but it still stole his breath away to finally get a look at the baby he created with Harry, the product of their love. It was so beautiful. He blinked the tears away and caught Harry's gaze and was overwhelmed with the love he felt for this man, the one who gave him joy and love back – and their own baby. He leant over to Harry and pressed his lips against his, tasting the salt of his tears on his lips.

"I love you so much." He murmured.

"I love you too." Harry whispered back smiling.

In unison their eyes went back to the screen, watching how their baby was slowly moving and listening to the calming heart beat while Luna was humming in the background.

Teddy stared at the screen and then looked down again. He blinked tears away too – but his tears were of a completely other nature than the ones his dad was shedding.
