CHAPTER FOUR

Harry's grin faded and he looked at Severus seriously. "Oh, Severus. You left my home a little too early. If you had stayed, you would've known that Sam isn't my lover. He's my friend, who happens to be happily married to a wonderful woman. I'm not involved with anyone. I haven't touched another person since I was with you and Remus."

Severus looked at him in confusion and hope. Harry leaned over Severus and caressed his face. His finger trailed across his forehead, down his nose, until it reached his lips. Harry lightly traced the thin lips and sighed as he felt Severus's breath wafting over his fingers.

"Remus told me that you two thought I was ashamed of the night we spent together, but that wasn't it. I thought that you two only slept with me out of pity. I knew that Remus had figured out my feelings for the two of you. I thought that he wanted to console me somehow and you just went along with it," Harry explained.

Severus glared at him. "I don't do pity fucks, Potter!" he snarled out.

Harry frowned and said, "You've had your cock up my ass, Severus. I think it's time for you to call me Harry, don't you?"

Severus was silent a moment before grunting. "Maybe."

"As I was saying, I left that morning because I thought you two had slept with me out of pity. It was my first time," Harry said wistfully.

Remus straightened up in shock and Severus whispered in disbelief, "What? You were a virgin?"

Harry nodded. "Yes, you two are the only ones to ever touch me like that. I've kissed a couple of girls and a couple of blokes, but that's all. I never wanted to get too close to anyone for fear of Voldemort using them against me. It was bad enough having Ron and Hermione as my friends, just imagine what Voldemort would've done if I'd had a lover," Harry said.

"Why didn't you tell us?" Remus asked.

Harry shrugged. "Even though I thought it was a pity fuck, I still wanted it. I wanted to have the chance to be with the two of you, even if it was only once. I'm not ashamed of my first time. I have some wonderful memories of that night," Harry said with a soft smile. "It's the morning after that I'm not so crazy about."

Harry sighed sadly. "I overheard Dumbledore and Dobby talking about the potion that they had given us. I took it as another sign that the night would've never had happen on its own. I was sure that once you two woke up, you would realize what a mistake you had made and you would ignore me. So I hid. I avoided everyone. The one time that I did run into the two of you, you both just stared at me and said nothing. You just passed by me, not saying a word," Harry said softly, tears pricking his eyes as he remembered the desolation he had felt at that moment. He sniffed softly and looked at Severus, who was staring at him with gentle eyes. "It just proved to me that I had been right. You were both regretting the night before. I thought about letting you know about the potion, but I figured what was the point. It was done and over with."

"Is that why you left Hogwarts? Is that why you didn't take up your Apprenticeship?" Remus asked.

Harry nodded. "I couldn't stand the thought of being around you two and watch you together, knowing that I could never be a part of it. I had to leave. I told the Headmaster I was leaving and that I didn't appreciate his interference in my life. Once I received my Certificate, I left and made my way to Diagon Alley. I found Maverick and made my home in Oban."

The room was silent for a few minutes before Severus demanded, "Let me go."

Harry looked at him surprise. "What?" he asked.

"I said let me go. Now," Severus said adamantly.

Harry swallowed at Severus's tone and pointed his wand at the bonds. "Finite," he said. He proceeded to do that with every bond. Harry tucked away his wand and waited for whatever Severus was going to do.

He gasped as he felt arms enfolding him, holding him close to a warm body. Harry leaned his head against Severus's chest and took a deep breath. He could smell the wonderful masculine scent that was hidden underneath the smell of sandalwood. He had dreams about Severus scent. During his pregnancy, the smell of sandalwood would cause him to break down crying. Now, though, it brought him a great sense of comfort.

Severus reached up and began to run his fingers through Harry's hair. He gently kissed Harry on the head and began speaking. "I never regretted what happened that night. To me, it was a dream come true. I've loved and wanted you for so long that I couldn't believe that night had happened. When I woke up and you were gone, my heart broke. I was hoping that you were just getting ready for graduation, but as the day wore on and I couldn't find you, I began to realize that my dream was a little premature. I saw the look of misery on your face when you got your Certificate. I tried to talk to you then, but you wouldn't respond. Remus and I figured we had time to convince you of our love. When I found out that you had declined the Apprenticeship, I was devastated. You had left and no one knew where you went. I'm afraid I didn't react very well," Severus said ruefully.

Harry looked up at him and asked, "What do you mean?"

"I'm surprised that Remus stayed with me. I was rather...temperamental," Severus said.

Remus snorted and climbed onto the bed. "Temperamental my arse," Remus said in annoyance. "You were an ass! Nothing I said or did could get you out of your funk. You were cold and withdrawn. The littlest things set you off. Your glare got even more virulent than before. You were not a nice person to be around. However, I stayed because I love you. It was close though. I had just about given up this morning after our fight in the Great Hall."

Harry lifted his head from Severus chest and looked at them in surprise. "You fought in the Great Hall?" he asked.

Remus nodded. "Yep, at breakfast, in front of the students. To say that Headmaster was upset would be an understatement. Nevertheless, in the end, it was a good thing. During our little spat in Dumbledore's office, things were said, revelations were revealed, hope was restored, yadda, yadda," Remus said absently as he began to lick Severus's neck.

Severus tilted his head back and leaned it against Remus's shoulder. Harry watched in fascination as the expression on Severus's his face became one of pure pleasure. Severus closed his eyes and sighed softly. Harry's cock hardened when he heard Severus gasp as Remus bit his earlobe gently. Harry raised himself on his knees. The movement distracted Severus and he opened his eyes.

Harry moved closer to Severus and leaned forward. He looked into Severus's eyes and whispered, "I love you. I've missed you so much."

Severus eyes widened and joy filled his face. He reached out to pull Harry closer and Harry reached up, cradling Severus' face in his hands. Harry lowered his head slightly and captured Severus's lips in a gentle, passion-filled kiss. Harry traced Severus's mouth with his tongues and gently inserted it into Severus's mouth when he gasped. Their tongues dueled lazily for a few minutes and Harry pulled back from the kiss. He began to place soft kisses over Severus's face. He smiled as Severus's eyes closed and his face became one of relaxation.

"I want the both of you to love me tonight," Harry said softly. "I want you to touch me without the benefit of the potion. I want to feel someone sliding into me, taking me, claiming me, loving me. I want to feel hands all over my body, caressing me, stroking me until I'm incoherent with desire. I want kisses that will make my body ache and burn. I want to be loved and I want to be loved well. Do you think the two of you can do that for me?" Harry whispered huskily.

Severus had quit breathing as Harry talked. As soon as Harry was done, he groaned and pulled Harry into his arms and took his mouth in a savage kiss. He bit Harry's bottom lip and Harry gasped in pleasure at the slight pain. Severus slipped his tongue into Harry's mouth and began to stroke deeply. Harry groaned as Severus began to fuck his mouth with his tongue. The deep kisses was spreading fire throughout his body. He reached up and grabbed Severus's head, pulling him closer for deeper kisses. He could feel Severus's hand caressing his body, and he pulled his head back to yell in satisfaction as Severus cupped his hard cock through his clothes.

"Merlin, yes!" Harry yelled out.

He felt a breath on his ear and realized that Remus had slipped up behind him. He heard a whispered "Deliquesco," and Harry looked down to see his clothes disappear. "Much better," Remus said behind him. Remus's hands reached around him and began to caress him gently. They trailed up his chest and pinched a nipple. Harry body arched as he sought more pleasure. His head fell back against Remus's chest and he could hear the man rumble in satisfaction.

"My Harry," Remus whispered as he pinched the other nipple.

Severus watched them intently, his eyes hot with lust. He reached over and moved Remus's hand out of the way. He glanced up at Harry with a wicked look and leaned down to bite his nipple.

"Fuck," Harry whispered harshly. He grabbed onto Severus's head and held on as Severus's sucked on his nipple. He bit down hard a few times before soothing it with his tongue. Harry whimpered as his body flared with fire. He was panting at the sensations that was racing throughout his body.

Severus pulled back and grabbed Harry, laying him down on the bed. He stretched out on one side while Remus stretched out on the other. Together they began to lick, nibble, caress and kiss his body. Harry was tossing his head and crying out as his body was overwhelmed. He couldn't think anymore. His mind was totally focused on what they were doing. He began to plead and beg, but they still teased him.

Severus reached down and grabbed Harry's cock gently. Harry's body arched into the contact and Harry moaned aloud. "Oh, please. Severus, please, no more teasing," Harry begged.

Severus chuckled wickedly and glanced over at Remus. With a smirk, Remus and Severus leaned down and began to lick Harry's hard cock. Harry yelled out at the pleasure he felt and he continued to beg them to let him come.

Harry could feel his body getting tenser as the sensations made him more sensitive. Harry moaned as he felt his cock disappear into a wet, warm mouth. His wasn't even aware anymore of who was doing what. His whole attention was focused on the pleasure that was coming from his cock. He arched his body, trying to get closer to the touch. He was so close to coming. All he needed was just a little more, just a little push.

"Please," he begged. "Let me come." His breathing was harsh -- his lips, mouth, and throat were dry. He directed glazed eyes towards his lovers and groaned at the sight of both of them licking his cock. He watched as his cock disappeared into Severus's mouth. Severus sucked a couple of times before letting it slip out of his mouth, only to have his cock disappear into Remus's mouth.

Severus looked up at Harry, only to see him looking back. He slithered up the bed and Harry watched him with greedy eyes. Severus leaned down and kissed him softly, thrusting his tongue into Harry's mouth. Harry moaned at the feeling and raised his head, trying to get closer -- but Severus moved back, teasing him. "Please Severus, let me come," Harry whispered harshly.

Severus grinned wickedly before leaning down and taking a dusky nipple into his mouth. He bit down hard and Harry wailed as he finally came. His body arched for moment as everything focused onto one spot. Remus eagerly swallowed everything that burst from Harry's cock, making sure not to miss anything. Harry's body slumped to the bed as the tension that had been building finally snapped.

Harry lay there, panting harshly, unable to move. He calmed down a few minutes later and looked up at his lovers. His eyes widened as he took in the dual expressions of lust and love. They gave him a smug smile and Remus leaned forward for a kiss. Severus moaned softly, his harsh face filled with desire. Remus pulled back, only to have Severus take his place. Severus kissed him deeply and whispered, "Oh, we're not done with you, Harry. We're just getting started."

Harry whimpered in delight as the two men descended upon him once again.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Harry awoke to the feel of someone stroking his chest. He moaned as he stretched. His body ached in places that shouldn't be aching. He opened his eyes and looked around blearily. The amber eyes that were watching him tenderly captured his attention. Harry stared at Remus a moment before memories from the night before flew through his mind.

Harry grinned at Remus, who looked at him in satisfaction. Harry lifted his arm and pulled Remus down for a short kiss. He didn't want to offend the man with his morning breath. "Hey, lover," Harry said huskily.

Remus reached up to caress Harry's face. "Hey, how did you sleep?" Remus asked.

Harry smirked. "Better than I have in the last ten months. I was quite exhausted by the time you two finished with me."

Remus laughed and said, "You did say that you wanted to be loved well."

"You two certainly did that," Harry replied with a smug grin. Harry looked around the room and noticed that Severus was missing from the bed. He glanced over at Remus and asked, "Where's Severus?"

"There was a problem with one of his students. He went to go take care of it," Remus answered.

Harry yawned widely. "I need to take a shower. Would you like to join me?" Harry asked slyly.

Remus smirked. "Haven't you had enough yet?"

Harry looked at Remus in disbelief. "I have months to make up for. Of course I haven't had enough."

Remus's expression gentled. "Harry, you don't have to make up for anything. We're just glad that you're here now."

Harry sighed as he stroked Remus's hair. "I know, but I still feel guilty. I can't stop thinking that the last ten months was my fault. If I had just stayed we wouldn't have lost ten months and you two wouldn't have..." Harry trailed off as he looked at Remus guiltily.

Remus frowned in confusion. "What? What wouldn't we have?"

Harry bit his lip nervously. "I'll tell you later. This is something I need to tell Severus as well. I'm going to take a shower. Could you get me something to eat? Make sure you grab a hold of Severus when you see him next. I really need to talk to you both."

Remus looked at him thoughtfully before nodding. "All right. Is it bad?" Remus asked hesitantly.

"Oh no, well I don't think it is. I'm pretty sure you'll like it, but I'm not sure how Severus will react," Harry said with a slight frown.

"Don't worry about it right now, Harry. Just take your shower and then we'll have some breakfast," Remus said.

Harry shifted on the bed and sat up. He leaned over and gave Remus one more kiss before getting off the bed. He walked towards the bedroom door, naked, and stopped. He looked over his shoulder and asked, "Are you sure you don't want to join me?"

Remus laughed and said, "Go, get. Take your shower."

Harry grinned and walked to the bathroom. He walked over to the sink and brushed his teeth. He started the shower and stepped in. He proceeded to wash his hair and his body. He leaned against the shower wall and relaxed as he felt the hot water pounding down on him, soothing his tired, aching muscles. He wondered if Severus had a mild pain-relieving potion. His body may ache, but Harry sure enjoyed how it got that way.

A few minutes later, he turned off the shower and got out. He grabbed a towel and proceeded to dry his hair and his body. He grabbed the large green robe that was hanging on the back of the door. He put it on and walked out of the bathroom. He made his way to the living room and saw that Remus had gotten breakfast. His stomach growled as Harry realized that he was starving. He looked at the food in interest. He jumped slightly as he felt arms reach around his body, pulling him closer to a hard body.

"Morning, Harry," Severus said. His dark, velvety voice caused Harry to shiver.

Harry turned around and put his arms around Severus's neck. "Hello, lover," Harry said throatily. He noticed that Severus's eyes flared with emotion before he leaned down to kiss Harry. Harry moaned at the taste that filled his mouth. There was nothing better than tasting Severus, except tasting Remus. Their tongues dueled lazily and when Severus pulled back from the kiss, Harry had to lean against Severus, trying not to fall. He was in a daze from the kiss and he heard Severus chuckle. Harry glared at him weakly and pouted. "It's not funny that your kisses blow my mind."

Severus gave him a quick peck and smirked. "I can't help it that I'm good," Severus replied. He pulled away and dragged Harry over to the table where the food was laid out.

"Sit," Severus said and directed him to the couch.

"But..." Harry started.

"Quiet. I'm bringing you breakfast. You just sit there and look pretty," Severus said with a smirk. Harry could hear Remus laughing and turned to glare at him. Remus just grinned and patted the spot next to him on the couch.

"Come here, pretty boy," Remus said with a leer.

Harry shook his head in amusement and walked over to the couch. He plopped down on Remus's lap, grinning as the man grunted in pain. "That'll teach you not to make fun of me," Harry said smugly as Remus's arms reached around him to hold him. Harry leaned over and kissed the man, savoring the flavor of his lover.

"Oh yea, that taught me good," Remus said mildly.

Severus walked over to them with a couple of plates filled with eggs, sausage and some fruit. He handed one to Harry and the other to Remus. Harry got off Remus's lap, ignoring the whine coming from the man.

Harry proceeded to demolish the food on the plate. Once he was done, he looked over at Severus and grinned. Remus and Severus were staring at him in disbelief. "What? I was hungry. I got a lot of exercise last night," Harry said.

Remus grinned while Severus looked smug. Harry shook his head, got up and walked over to the table. He scooped up some more eggs and fruit and proceeded to demolish that as well. Finally, his hunger was satisfied and he put the plate down on the table. He stretched, raising his arms over his head and arching his back. He could feel the slight burn in his muscles as they stretched. Feeling better, he looked over at his lovers and noticed that they were watching him in fascination. Harry blushed a little and walked over to them. He sat down on the couch, leaned against Severus, and put his feet in Remus's lap.

He sighed contently as Severus began to stroke his hair and Remus massaged his feet. He could get use to this. He muttered sleepily, his eyes closing as his body relaxed for the first time this morning. He fell into a light sleep, cuddling into Severus's body.

He was brought out of his sleep by a loud noise. He started and looked around wildly. Remus was looking at him sheepishly. "Sorry, Harry. I dropped this tome. I didn't mean to wake you."

Harry stretched, arching his body like a cat. He could feel Severus hum in appreciation. Severus brought his hand around his chest and began to stroke Harry's chest and stomach. The robe that he had worn earlier fell open and Harry moaned at the sensations Severus was invoking. "That feels so good," Harry said hoarsely, his eyes narrowed in pleasure.

"I love touching you. Your skin feels so soft," Severus said as he stroked harder. He reached Harry's abdomen and caressed the soft skin. His hands paused in their stroking. Severus shifted a little and he began stroking again, only this time a little harder.

"Harry," Severus said then paused.

"Mmmmm?" Harry asked sleepily.

"Where did this scar come from?" Severus asked.

Harry froze as he realized that Severus was stroking the almost non-existent cesarean scar. He was continually amazed at how Severus's sense of touch was so sensitive. Anyone else would have never known that the scar was there. Harry guessed it had to do with being a Potions Master. Severus needed his touch and nose to be extra sensitive. Harry sighed as he sat up. He guessed it was time to tell them about the children.

"Remus, I need you over here. I have to talk to you both," Harry said nervously. Harry got up from the couch and began to fidget.

Remus looked over at them curiously before making his way over to the couch. He sat down next to Severus and stared up at Harry. Harry took a deep breath and tried to calm his nerves. He was worried about what was going to happen. He knew that they would be angry with him for keeping the twins a secret, but he had been scared and unsure of what their reactions would've been. He didn't want to have to give up his children.

"All right, this is going to be kind of hard. Don't say anything until I finish telling you, okay?" Harry said. Remus and Severus nodded and Harry took a deep breath. "The last time we were together, something happened. I was quite shocked by the news, but still delighted and scared."

"What was it, Harry?" Remus asked. Severus had a curious look on his face.

Harry bit his lip and blurted out, "I got pregnant."

Severus froze and his eyes widened. Remus looked at Harry in shock. He opened his mouth a couple of times before stuttering out, "Y...y...you got what?"

Harry snickered at Remus and rolled his eyes. "I...got...pregnant," Harry said slowly.

Remus blinked rapidly and Harry shook his head. He looked over at Severus who was quiet. He was staring at Harry intently. Harry gave him a wary look and Severus asked calmly, "You're just now telling us about this?"

Harry bit his lip. "I..." Harry looked away from the look in Severus eyes. He could handle anger or even shouting, but the look of pain and hurt that shone in Severus's eyes bothered him.

"Why didn't you let us know when you found out? Were you ever going to tell us? One of us has a child and you kept that fact to yourself," Severus said angrily. Harry sighed; he knew that they were going to be angry. He expected it.

"Why should I have told you?" Harry asked. "I thought that whole night was a mistake. I thought you wanted to forget about it. I wasn't about to bring up the fact that I had gotten pregnant. I was also scared."

"Why were you scared?" Remus asked.

Harry looked down and fiddled with the belt of the robe. "I thought that if you two knew about the child that you would..."

Severus cut in angrily. "You thought we would take the child away from you, didn't you?"

Harry nodded and Severus blew out an angry breath. "Why would you think that? We would've never taken your child away from you. We would've wanted to be a part of the child's life, but that's it. We love you, Harry. We wouldn't have done anything to hurt you," Severus said.

"Well, I know that now, but I didn't then. I was too emotional, too overloaded with hormones. I was scared that you would take the child and leave me in the cold. I didn't say it made sense. It's just what I felt. Sam tried to get me to tell you, but I refused," Harry said.

"Sam? The man that was at your house yesterday?" Remus asked.

Harry nodded. "He's a Healer. He took care of me during my pregnancy," Harry explained.

"Ah," Remus said in understanding.

"So, who is the father?" Severus asked.

"Does it matter?" Harry asked curiously.

Severus sighed. "Yes, it does, Harry. It doesn't matter in the fact that we would love the child, regardless of who the father is, but there is the factor of his or her inheritance. I come from a long line of Snapes, a Pureblood family. In order to keep my Estate in the family, I need an Heir," Severus explained.

"That matters to you?" Harry asked.

Severus shook his head. "Not really. Once I'm dead, I don't care what happens to my Estate. The Ministry can sell it off as far as I'm concerned, but if the child is mine, then he or she is entitled to my Estate. If the child is mine, then there are rituals that need to take place so that the child may be accepted into the family," Severus explained.

"Oh. What about you, Remus?" Harry asked. "Does your family have any rituals?"

Remus shook his head. "No, my family isn't a Pureblood family. My grandfather was a Muggleborn wizard. I would love the child regardless of who the father is."

"That's good to know. It doesn't really matter either way. I was pregnant with twins," Harry said.

They looked at him in shock. "Two babies?"

Harry grinned and nodded. "Yep, a boy and a girl. Of course, it wasn't that simple either."

"What do you mean?" Severus asked.

"The twins aren't true twins. They both have different fathers. Severus is the father of the boy, and Remus is the father of the girl," Harry explained gently.

Remus and Severus stared at him in shock. "Do you know how rare that is?" Severus asked in disbelief. "You have to be powerful enough to get pregnant without the aide of potions. The fact that you were pregnant with twins is unusual enough, but the fact your children have two separate fathers is a miracle. Merlin, Harry, you have to be pretty damn powerful for that to happen."

Harry nodded in understanding. "I thought about how it could've happened. I realized that I wanted something to remember that night. I didn't think consciously that I wanted to get pregnant, but I wanted a way to remember what had been a wonderful night for me. I figured I wouldn't get another chance to be with you two. I must have subconsciously used my magic to get myself pregnant with your children. The more I thought about it, the more I realized that it made sense. I had a piece of the both of you with me. Even if I had never seen you two again, I would always be reminded of the both of you. I see you both in the children," Harry explained. His eyes were filled with love as he stared at his lovers.

Remus eyes filled with tears and he sniffed. "Damn, Harry. That was just...damn," he said softly.

Severus stood up and stalked over to Harry. He grabbed him and pulled him into a passionate kiss. He held Harry into place as he ravaged Harry's mouth. He pulled back, taking a deep breath and whispered hoarsely, "You don't know what it does to me to know that you love us that much. Those children are the truest sign of your love. It just, Merlin, it just fills me with such tenderness."

Harry's eyes filled with tears. "Severus," he whispered lovingly. He looked over at Remus and held out his hand. Remus got up and grabbed it and Harry pulled him close to them. They stood in the middle of the room, holding each other. Harry's heart was filled with so many emotions: love, passion, tenderness, joy and acceptance. He finally found his place in the world and it was right here with his lovers and his children. Everything else was just details. He would truly be happy if he could only stay here and watch his children grow up. Being an orphan and despised by Aunt and Uncle, Harry had always wanted a large family that was filled with love. He had always been envious of Ron for his large family. Now, he had a good start on his own family.

Harry pulled back and smiled joyfully. "I feel happy," Harry said brightly.

Remus snickered and said, "I feel at peace. My wolf is happy that his pack has grown larger."

Severus looked at Harry hotly and growled out, "I feel horny." He bent down, threw Harry over his shoulder, and made his way to the bedroom, ignoring Harry's yells and Remus's laughter.

He entered the bedroom, with Remus following behind him, and threw Harry on the bed. He gazed down at Harry lustfully and leered. "How about we practice making some more babies?" Severus asked.

Harry looked up at him, his eyes darkened in desire and said, "Oh hell yea." He reached up, pulled Severus down on top of him, and kissed him. Pulling back, he looked at Remus, who was staring at them, his amber eyes glowing with lust and love, and said, "Get your arse on this bed. I want you both."

Remus gave Harry a feral smile and pounced.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

EPILOGUE

Harry watched in contentment as Remus played with Katie. He grinned as Maverick sidled up to Remus and watched Katie protectively. It had taken a little while for Maverick to warm up to Remus, but he had. Remus always made sure to praise him for watching out for the children. Harry found it funny that Maverick had taken instantly to Severus. He could usually be found following Severus around when he wasn't protecting the children.

Harry sighed and looked over at Severus. Severus was reading to Corbin. Harry suppressed a laugh as he realized that Severus was reading a Potions Journal to his son. Corbin didn't care. He was too young to understand what was being said. He just liked hearing his daddy talk.

Harry's eyes went soft as he remembered Severus's expression the first time he held Corbin six months ago. The look of awe and amazement would stay with him until the end. Harry had been worried that Severus wouldn't do well with Corbin, but he had been amazed at how well Severus took care of both Corbin and Katie.

It didn't matter who was the father of who in this family. Katie and Corbin had two daddies and that was that. Severus still smirked every time he called Harry mommy. Harry had frowned the first time he had heard that, but it had grown on him. Technically, he was the mommy. He had carried the twins for nine months, so that made him the mommy.

Sam had been excited to hear that Harry had worked things out with Remus and Severus. He had been worried about Harry taking care of the babies by himself. He had always thought that Harry should've told them about the pregnancy in the first place. When he found out that Harry was moving back to Hogwarts, he had been a little sad, but he understood. It wasn't as if he couldn't visit Harry. Harry had come to think of Sam and Marlene as family, and he didn't want to lose contact with them. They had an open invitation into Harry's home.

Harry smirked in remembrance as Severus realized that he would have to move out of his precious dungeon. The dungeon was too cold and too wet for the children, and there wasn't enough room for the five of them to live comfortably. So with a resigned sigh and a lot of pouting on Severus's part, they moved into a large, bright, airy room on the third floor of the castle. Harry secretly thought that Albus was torturing Severus by giving them such a large bright room. Regardless the reason, the room was large enough for their family and that was all that mattered.

Albus had been surprised and delighted when he found out about the babies. His eyes had twinkled merrily at the thought of Severus and Remus being fathers. He was heard saying that he couldn't wait until they were old enough to go to Hogwarts. The school would be in for some interesting times when that happened. Harry chuckled softly at the thought of what his children would get up to when they started school. Even now, as young as they were, Katie and Corbin were mischievous. They delighted in causing mayhem wherever they went. George and Fred delighted in having them around.

Harry's smile dimmed a little at the thought of Fred and George. They had been ecstatic at seeing Harry again. They were shocked, but happy when they found out about his children and lovers. The rest of the Weasleys, well their reactions varied. Bill and Charlie just shook their heads in bemusement, but they were happy that Harry was happy. Percy, well Percy didn't really have a lot to say. He was still on the outs with his family. Harry wasn't for sure if he would ever be accepted back into the family.

Ginny had squealed in joy when she saw the children. She had been a little wary about Remus and Severus, but told him that it was his life. As long as they made him happy, then she was happy for him. Ginny had been a huge in helping with the children when they first made their appearance at Hogwarts. Remus and Harry had asked her to be the godmother to Katie.

Mr. Weasley had been mellow about the whole thing. He delighted in the children and was happy to see Harry again. He had shrugged when Harry told him about Remus and Severus, saying that if he was in love with them, then who cared what others thought. Harry smiled softly as he remembered the total acceptance that Mr. Weasley had given him. Arthur was as close to a father as Harry was ever going to get.

Mrs. Weasley, on the other hand, had been a mite upset. She was delighted about the children and could be found mothering them at every opportunity. No, she had been upset because Harry hadn't been married when the children were born. Harry had to admit that Molly was tad old fashioned. It wasn't as if he had planned on the pregnancy. When he told her that they weren't ready to get married yet, she had uttered her disapproval. Harry told her gently that when the time came, Molly could plan her little heart out. Only mildly accepting that decision, she had finally stopped harping on the subject.

Harry took a sip of his tea as he remembered Ron's reaction. Harry knew when he told Ron about the babies and his lovers, that Ron's reaction was going to be extreme. The thought of the children had been shocking enough for his best friend -- but when Harry told him who the fathers were, Ron blew a gasket. The fight they'd had had been huge. After an hour of fighting, Harry had finally got tired of Ron's irrational behavior and told him that if didn't want to accept his children or his lovers, then he didn't need Ron in his life. Ron had froze, a look of betrayal on his face, before whispering, "I have always been your friend, from the very beginning, but I don't know if I can accept this. It's not the children and it's not the fact that you're gay. It's who the fathers are. They are old enough to your father and one is a slimy Slytherin. Snape treated you like crap for years. I can't accept that, Harry. It's just wrong."

Harry had looked at his friend sadly. "I'm sorry you feel that way, Ron. This is my life now. I will not give up my children or my lovers just because you can't accept them. I love them too much. You may be my best friend, but they are my life. If you can't accept them, then maybe we should part ways."

Ron hadn't said a word. He just turned and left Hogwarts. It had been months before Harry had talked to Ron again. With the help of the Weasleys and Hermione, Ron had finally come around. The relationship between Ron and Harry was still strained, but it was getting better. It had been funny to see the look on Ron's face when Severus asked him to be the godfather to Corbin. Shocked, he could only nod his acceptance.

Harry smirked as remembered Hermione's reaction to the children. Her eyes had widened in shock and joy and then she ran to the library to read everything she could get her hands on when it came to male pregnancy, fact or fiction. She barely blinked an eye at who his lovers were, saying that she wasn't surprised that Harry would fall in love with them. She stated that Harry was mature for his age and it only made sense that his lovers would be older and someone that Harry could trust. She smirked and said that she was glad it was them and not Dumbledore. Harry had gagged at them image and smacked his friend on the arm.

Harry looked up as he heard someone entering the room. He shook his head in bemusement as he remembered the reaction of the man who had just walked in. When Severus had told him that Draco Malfoy was his godson, and with the death of his father and mother -- he was Draco's only family -- Harry had dreaded his reaction to the babies. Once again, he had been surprised. When Draco found out about Harry and the babies, he had stared at Harry in surprise. After a few minutes, he had smirked and commented that Harry never did anything small. With that one comment, Harry and Draco had formed a friendship that hadn't had a chance to grow while they were in school. Draco's reaction to the children had been overwhelming. He had immediately fallen in love with the both of them and spent most of his time visiting them or babysitting. Apparently, Draco had a soft spot for children and animals. He adored the children and Maverick, and the children and Maverick loved him just as much.

Draco had actually cried when Harry and Remus had asked him to be the godfather to Katie. He took his godfather duties very seriously, and he could be seen spoiling Katie and Corbin. If he spoiled Katie just a little bit more than he spoiled Corbin, nobody said anything. There was enough love to go around.

Harry had decided to ask Poppy to be the godmother to Corbin. She had been there to help and had kept his secret. Severus liked that idea, as they were both very good friends, though not many knew that. He knew that Hermione had been a tad upset at the fact, but Harry smirked as he rubbed his stomach. She would get her chance. Poppy had confirmed Harry's suspicions. Harry was a one-month pregnant and it looked like twins again. It was still too early to know the sex of the babies, but they both had separate fathers again.

"Harry?" Severus called out. "Are you alright?" he asked concern.

Harry looked up and saw Severus standing in front of him. Corbin was resting in Draco's arms and they were looking at him in concern. Remus came out of the bedroom, where he had laid Katie down for her nap.

"Yea, I'm fine. I'm thinking that my Apprenticeship is going to take a little longer than usual," Harry said with a smirk. Albus had given Harry the opportunity to reapply for the Apprenticeship. Harry knew that Albus had pulled some strings so that Harry could study under Albus, but that was all right. Albus knew about his family and Harry knew that Albus would be delighted with the news that Harry was pregnant again.

"What's wrong? Why would your Apprenticeship take longer?" Severus asked in concern. He sat down next to Harry and looked up at Remus in alarm. Remus walked over to them and squatted down in front of Harry. He gently rubbed Harry's thighs as if to sooth him.

"I told you, there is nothing wrong. I just got some news today that made me realize that I'm going to be studying with Albus a little longer than normal," Harry said.

"What news?" Remus asked softly.

Harry reached over, grabbed their hands, and placed them on his abdomen. "In about eight months, we're going to have two more additions to our family. I think we might need to get a bigger room, Harry said thoughtfully.

His lovers gaped him and looked down at their joined hands. "You're pregnant? With twins? Again?" Severus asked in disbelief.

Harry nodded cheerfully. "Yep, I did it again. You're each a father again."

Remus's eyes brightened and he stood up, pulled Harry into his arms and swung him around. "Oh, Harry, this is fantastic. Our family, our pack is growing," he said in delight. He reached down and caressed Harry's abdomen, his expression growing soft. "There are babies in there."

"There sure are, and you can be here for the morning sickness, the mood swings, the cravings, and the eventual horniness. You two get to be here for it all," Harry said cheerfully.

"I can't wait," Remus said excitedly.

Severus snorted and stood up. "You say that now, but wait until Harry is yelling at you for looking at him funny, then crying because you looked at him funny. You'll change your mind pretty quickly then," Severus said as his arms encircled Harry. He leaned his head forward and kissed Harry gently.

"This is great news, Harry. I know you wanted a large family," Severus said softly.

Draco snorted in amusement and yelled out, "It looks like you've got a good start on it." He looked down at the wide-eyed Corbin and bounced him on his knees. "Daddy is becoming a baby machine, yes he is," Draco said excitedly and Corbin squealed in glee.

Harry shook his head in amusement. He leaned against Severus, held onto Remus's hand, and sighed in contentment. His life was full now and he was finally, completely happy. No matter what happened in the future, he would always be thankful for his family.
