Lucius sat in bed watching James snore softly.� The sun was coming up and he was exhausted,
but he still couldn�t sleep.� There was
way too much on his mind.� He�d told
James he was happy about the baby, but in reality he was scared.� The Dark Lord did not take betrayal lightly,
and that�s what Lucius had done.� There
would likely be a price on his head now, as well as the rest of his
family.� The decision had been made in a
split second, but it was going to have serious lasting consequences.

Shortly after breakfast started there was a knock on the
door.� �Come in,� Lucius said.

The door creaked open and Harry poked his head in.� �Lucius, I� I couldn�t sleep and just wanted
to��

�Come on,� Lucius sighed and motioned for Harry to join
them.� �I can�t sleep either.�

James let out a loud snort and rolled over to put his head
in Lucius� lap.� �He doesn�t seem to have
any trouble,� Harry sighed and crawled into the other side of the bed.

�Yes, well, pain killing potions and exhaustion will have
that effect.� He�s also pregnant.�

�Pregnant?� Harry repeated the word.� �How can that be?�

�It�s part of being part elf and magical.�

Harry frowned.�
�Great, something else to make me a freak��

�Don�t say that!� Lucius chided the younger wizard.� �You and your father might be a little
different, but you�re not freaks.� Your
father is nearly three months along, and I only just found out a few hours
ago.� Your baby brother or sister�s
conception and birth may be a little unconventional, but that doesn�t make it
any less special.�

Harry bit his lip.�
�I�m sorry, you�re right.� I�m
just really tired of being different.� I
want to be a normal teenage boy.�

Lucius raised an eyebrow.�
�As your father would say, bullshit.�

�What?� Harry cried, rather offended. �How can you say
that?�

�When you though Sirius was in trouble you rushed off to
save the day.� You didn�t try to find
your father, or Severus, or anyone for that matter.�

�Professor Snape neglected to tell me Sirius was in the
dungeon!� Harry argued.

�True,� Lucius agreed.�
�Severus is partially at fault, but he did tell you to wait.� Once you did let him know what you�d seen you
should have trusted him to handle the situation.� He�s an adult, and you are a fifteen year old
boy.�

�I already know what I did was wrong!� Harry half
shouted.� �I don�t need to be lectured
again.�

Lucius sighed.� �Yes,
Dumbledore told us he had a nice long chat with you.� I�m just� I don�t know�� My life has changed significantly over the
past twenty-four hours.� Draco had to be
woken up and moved to Severus� quarters.�

�So what now?� Harry asked.

�Well, for now we should try and get some rest I
suppose.� Then I want to have a little
talk with you and Draco.� After that, I
don�t know.�

Harry nodded and curled up against his sleeping father.� Lucius did the same, and they both eventually
drifted off to sleep.

Severus tip-toed into Sirius� hospital room with a bouquet
of wild flowers in his hand.� He was
trying to be quiet so as not to wake the sleeping man.� He put the flowers on the night stand and
turned to leave.

�Severus?� Sirius mumbled sleepily and rolled over.� �Not gonna stay and say hello?�

Severus jumped a little and turned around to face the
bed.� �I didn�t want to wake you.� I just thought you�d like some flowers, and I
remembered James saying you liked wild flowers more than store bought ones, so
I picked you some.�

Sirius grinned up at him.�
�And I remember Lucius saying you could be very thoughtful when you put
your mind to it.� Now I believe him.�

�A simple thank you would have sufficed.�

�Maybe, for some people,� Sirius chuckled.� �Take a seat and keep me company for a
while.�

�I can�t,� Severus frowned.�
�Draco had to be moved into my rooms, so I need to get back before
breakfast.�

Just then Cornelius Fudge knocked on the edge of the doorway
and walked in.� �Ah, good, I need to
speak to both of you,� he said.� �Dolores
Umbridge has disappeared, and James said you two were with him all afternoon.�

Severus nodded.� �He
came down to my room after lunch all upset because he�s pregnant and none of
his clothes fit.� I let him borrow some
of mine and he and Sirius kept me company.�
He was there until Draco came to let us know what was going on.�

Sirius nodded.� �What
he said.�

Fudge frowned.� �And
that�s your story?�

�That�s the truth!� Sirius argued.

�Minister, after everything that�s just happened because you
didn�t believe Albus and Harry, you can�t possibly be accusing us of lying just
because what we�re saying is not what want to hear�� Severus sighed.�

Fudge glared at the Potions Master for a minute, but didn�t
say anything.� �Have a good day then,� he
mumbled before leaving.�

�You�re good,� Sirius smiled.

�Thank you, but I really do need to be going.�

Severus gave Sirius a little nod and left.�

James opened his eyes and stared at the ceiling for a few
seconds.� It was then that he noticed he
was sandwiched between two people.� He
rolled over to see Harry sound asleep.�

James yawned and stretched before climbing out of bed.� When he was looking through his closet
something dawned on him.� If he could
shorten Severus� robe, he could alter his own too.� He suddenly felt very silly for panicking and
missing the obvious.� He pulled his
favorite sleeveless lilac robe out of the closet and altered it to fit him.

He was starving, but he didn�t want to go down to the Great
Hall for breakfast.� Word had probably
gotten out about what happened, and he really didn�t want to deal with all that
just yet.� He was pretty sure Harry didn�t
want to deal with it either, so he called for Mitsy to bring up a breakfast
tray.

Lucius woke a little while later to the delicious smell of
pancakes with raspberry syrup.�
�Morning,� James smiled.

�Morning,� Lucius smiled back.� �I hope you don�t mind, but Harry said he
couldn�t sleep.�

James shrugged.� �He�s
a little old to be climbing into his father�s bed, but I guess since he didn�t
get to do it as a kid�.�

Lucius nodded.� �I was
thinking the same thing.� Though I have
to admit I did yell at him.�

�I don�t plan on coddling him either,� James sighed.� �He�s been bitching that he wants to be an
adult.� Part of being an adult is being
held accountable for your actions.�

�True�� Lucius said as he pulled his robes on.�

Neither of them talked about the baby, though it was on both
their minds.� Harry slept until it was
nearly lunch time.� When he woke both
adults turned and looked at him, but didn�t say anything. ��He bit his lip and waited for his dad to say
something about what happened.�

James smacked Harry upside his head.� �Start using your damn head!� he cried.� �I know you�ve got one.�

�Sorry,� Harry mumbled and lowered his gaze to the
floor.� �Dad, are you really pregnant?�

James nodded.�
�Yes.� It�s not something I
planned, but it happened.�

�Speaking of which, Harry, go get Draco and take him to the
new Divination classroom,� Lucius interrupted.

James raised an eyebrow.�
�What do you have up your sleeve?�

Lucius grinned.� �I
want to talk to my son.� I don�t have
anything up my sleeve.� His life is going
to be changing a lot.�

James sighed.� �Why
don�t I believe you?�

Lucius shrugged.�
�You�re a suspicious person?�

Harry ducked out when his dad threw a pillow at Lucius.� �At
first he wondered how he was going to get Draco, but then he remembered that
the blonde had been moved to Snape�s room.�

He was thankful that he didn�t run into too many people on
his way down to the dungeons.� The few he
did see just stared at him and didn�t say anything.� He met Draco on the way down the stairs.

�Morning Harry,� Draco smiled.� �Heard you had quite an adventure last
night.�

Harry could�ve sworn Draco sounded a little jealous.� �Yeah, something like that.� Your dad wanted me to come get you so he
could talk to us in the new Divination room.�

�I wonder what about,� Draco said as he followed Harry up to
the ground floor.�

When they reached the classroom Lucius wasn�t there yet so
Harry took a seat on the floor.� Firenze
didn�t seem to be around either.

�You don�t seem to be very upset about being pulled out of
Slytherin in the middle of the night,� Harry commented when Draco sat down
beside him.

Draco shrugged.� �I
was really starting to hate it anyway.� I
know it�s not going to be easy, but at least I can let down my guard and start
being myself now.�

Harry couldn�t argue with that.� He�d always been thankful that the Sorting Hat
hadn�t placed him in Slytherin anyway.�

�Draco, there�s something I need to tell you.� I just found out this morning that my dad is
three months pregnant with our shared sibling.�
I know you like me, but we�re going to be family now and us being
together would kinda be incest.�

Draco�s eyes went wide.�
�Seriously?� They�re having a
baby?�

Harry nodded.� �Yeah,
we�re going to be big brothers.�

�You know what this means don�t you?� Draco sighed. ��Everyone is going to fuss over the new
baby.� You�ll still get plenty of
attention I�m sure because you�re the Chosen One.� Me, I�ll be lucky if anyone remembers I still
exist.�

�I don�t think that�s true,� Harry said.� �I mean they probably will fuss over the
baby, but your dad loves you a lot.� He
just doesn�t know how to show it.�

Just then Lucius opened the door and entered the room.� �I see you�ve let the cat out of the bag,� he
sighed.

Harry nodded.�
�Sorry.�

�That�s all right,� Lucius said as he joined the boys on the
floor.� Draco had gone from seeming happy
to pouting.� �What�s wrong Draco?� Lucius
asked.

�Nothing,� Draco mumbled.

�Don�t lie to me.�

�It�s just� Why did you have to go and have another baby?�

Lucius frowned.� �We
didn�t plan on it.� It just
happened.� Before you say anything,
you�re not being replaced.� Think of it
as our family growing and changing.�

Draco sighed.� �You
wanted to talk to us because you want to marry him don�t you?�

Lucius nodded.� �Yes,
but since this affects the two of you as well, I wanted to talk about it.�

Harry was stunned.�
He�d never even thought about his dad getting remarried and what it
would mean.� All his life all he�d ever
wanted was a family.� He was happy to be
getting a sibling, but if his dad and Lucius got married he�d have a real
family.� It would be a non traditional
family, but a family none the less.

�What�s going to happen to Mother?� Draco asked,
interrupting Harry�s daydream.

�I�ll have to divorce her, of course,� Lucius answered, �but
don�t worry, I�ll make sure she�s taken care of.�

�This isn�t fair!� Draco cried.� �Why can�t things stay the way they are?�

�Because they can�t,� Lucius frowned.� He�d been hoping to get more support from his
son.� � I
suppose there�s no point in continuing this conversation.� I see you only care about yourself.�

Lucius stood and stormed out.� Harry sat quietly, not knowing what to say or
do.� He didn�t understand why Draco was
upset, but of course his mother was dead and completely out of the picture.

Draco glared at the door for a few minutes.� �Can you believe him?� he snorted.

Harry shrugged.� �I
don�t know.� You want to be happy,
right?� Doesn�t your dad have the right
to want to be happy too?�

Draco started to glare at Harry, but his expression
softened.� �I just�� I don�t know�� First he changes sides, and now he wants to
divorce my mother!� It�s just too much.�

�Well, look at it this way; you won�t have to deal with
Pansy anymore.� You can be with anyone
you want, except me that is.�

�Not so fast Potter,� Draco gave him a small smile.� �I know the marriage laws.� Even though we�re going to be sharing a
sibling, the only way we�re related is through marriage.� We could still be legally married if we
wanted to.� I�m not giving up that easily.�

Harry shook his head and decided to go find Dumbledore and
ask if he could visit Sirius in the hospital.�
