Notes: Sorry I�m
just now updating but I�ve been sick with the flu twice in addition to my kids
being sick plus there was death in my family so I haven�t really had the mind
to think. I�ve started school again and it�s taking up a lot of my time. Don�t
worry I have several chapters writing out.

Also I would like to thank Jadwiga
for beta-reading for me. Any mistakes after her corrections are all mine ^_~

oOoOoOo

The tall ex-Slytherin
hung-up his travelling cloak and dropped his attach� case near the clothes
stand. James greeted him with a small peck on his smooth unblemished cheek.

Immediately, Lucius knew something was wrong.
Caressing James� face tenderly with both hands he wiped away the tears that
spilt down from those hazel eyes he had fallen in love with.

�Wha-�

�I�m pregnant.�

James� sudden proclamation was met by silence. He
feared for the worse. After just getting Lucius back, he was going to lose him
because of his own stupidity. Everyone tried to get him to tell Lucius about
their child, but no, he didn�t want Lucius to know.

Simply because James was scared. Scared that Lucius would take his baby.

Lucius stepped away from James in surprise. James
didn�t say what he think James had said, but that
could only mean�

�I�m sorry Lucius.�

Suddenly, Lucius� anger ignited. Quicksilver eyes
flared to life. The portraits on the walls quaked. Crystal floor
vases shook. The lights around the foyer flickered, and with one threatening
step, the door window exploded.

�How far?� Lucius questioned grabbing
his lover by the arms.

The bespectacled man hesitated. Again Lucius asked,
�How far along are you, James?�

�Six months,� he whispered.

/Six months?/ �When were you
planning on telling me? When the child was born? First year
at Hogwarts? On my fucking death bed?!� Lucius�
voice rose in volume with each sentence he spoke.

�No,� was James� weak reply.

�Then when? Were you planning on suing me for money? What?!�

Crying, James broke free of Lucius� hold. �I was never
going to tell you, you insensitive bastard!� James shouted.

�What, pray tell, made you change your mind? I know it
wasn�t out of the goodness in your heart.�

That hurt. James renewed his crying from the biting
remarks. �Voldemort wants me dead, you prick!�

Lucius opened his mouth to say something scathing but
closed it only to realise what his lover had said.

�James, I-�

�Don�t! Just go, Lucius. I don�t need this right,
now.�

And for the first time, Lucius saw James swollen with
his child, and he�d never seen such a beautiful sight.

�I�m not leaving you � not now. Not ever,� Lucius said
truthfully over his partner�s heart wrenching sobs.

Lucius pulled the younger wizard into his embrace and
held onto James, gently running large hands up and down the distraught youth�s
back. They remained this why until James fell asleep. Lucius took his precious
burden to the master bedroom laying him down on the bed.

Removing the overly large robe and other pieces of
clothing, Lucius tucked James under the covers and spooned up against him. All
thoughts of food were gone from his mind as he laid his hand across the
expanded stomach, drifting off to sleep himself.

oOoOoOo

�SEVERUS!� Sirius shouted as he entered his lover�s
personal bedchambers at Hogwarts. He called out again for the professor, but
received no answer in return. He ventured further into the room to find his
lover. Sirius saw Severus� outer robe followed by his shirt, shoes and finally
his trousers.

Sirius had been in a meeting with his boss, Fudge, and
his team of Aurors discussing the recent activity of
dark wizards and witches called Death Eaters. Sirius already had inside
information about them, but he didn�t tell his boss that. The dark-haired Auror had received an urgent owl from Madame Pomfrey requesting him to come to Hogwarts immediately.

According to the brief note, Severus had collapsed in
the corridor shortly after leaving the Great Hall.

�In here, Sirius!� Madame Pomfrey
called out.

Preparing for the worse, Sirius steeled his nerves for
whatever he might find, but to his surprise, Severus was curled up in the bed
asleep. Poppy was keeping watch. Whispering in order not to disturb the Potions
master, Sirius asked, �What happened?�

Poppy clucked her tongue disapprovingly at the young
teacher. �Your stubborn husband went without breakfast then ate very little for
lunch. As a result he became dizzy and blacked-out in the hallway on his way to
class.�

�And the child-�

�Don�t worry about a thing. The twins are fine,� she
said. The Auror exhaled the breath he had been
holding.

�I�ve given him a mild dose of Sleeping Draught to
rest and he should stay asleep until late into the evening. When he wakes make
sure you give him this and this to eat.� Getting up from her chair, Poppy gave
Sirius� arm a loving squeeze and quietly left the dungeons to get back to her
less difficult patients.

Sirius placed the phials of prenatal vitamins and
nutrient restorer on the bedside table. After doing that, Sirius took a shower
and climbed into bed with his headstrong lover. Sirius thought about how James
was doing. They had bumped into each other last Monday as Sirius was going to
meet Severus in Hogsmeade.

oOo Flashback oOo

�Hey, Jamester! Where are you going?� Sirius greeted his best friend.

�Hey Siri, I just left Dumbledore. He gave me the rest of the
day off as well as the rest of the week, so I�m going home to catch up on some
rest and Lucius is coming by later for dinner.�

The two friends were
walking in step with each other.

�I don�t mean to pry
Jim but you need to tell him.�

�I know, and I am.
Tonight � promise. Anyway, look I need a favour of you.�

Sirius nodded his
head for James to continue.

�Dumbledore gave me a
bit of unsettling news and I need to lay low for awhile. I was wondering if you
could be my Secret Keeper?�

oOo End flashback
oOo

The body next to Sirius stirred. Eyelids slowly
fluttered opened to reveal mesmerizing obsidian orbs.

�What time is it?� Severus inquired,
his voice husky and weak. Sirius winced at the unnatural sound. He was use to
hearing the low, soft, silky tone of Severus� voice.

�It�s a little pass eight. Are you hungry?� Sirius
traced his hand along his husband�s not so slender face. It was evident that
the Potions master was pregnant, and Sirius was concerned for his lover and his
unborn children.

The rumours of Voldemort
were enough cause for alarm, and Severus was right in the thick of it all. Just
like James. If Voldemort ever found out the truth
Severus was a dead man. The only thing that was keeping the twins safe was the
concealment charm.

And like Lucius, Severus did not care for anyone other
than Sirius, and maybe Dumbledore, to know about his private life. Dumbledore
knew of Severus� abusive childhood and his joining with the Dark Lord. Severus
had confided in the older wizard once he realized that not only was he risking
his life, but that of Sirius� as well.

The Headmaster was completely off guard when his
former pupil told him about his pregnancy, and when Albus
asked who was the father - Severus didn�t hesitate in revealing the father�s
identity. That�s how Sirius found himself in the Headmaster�s office with an
arm full of a sobbing lover.

oOo Flashback oOo

The newly graduated Auror followed a few paces behind the Headmistress of
Hogwarts. The butterflies fluttering in his stomach were making him sick. He
was ready to lose whatever food he had consumed in the last half hour. He
ascended the stone steps leading into the hidden domain of the elder wizard.

Sirius was surprised
to see not only Albus Dumbledore, (sitting behind his
desk, smirking, eyes roaming with mirth), but he also saw Mr. and Mrs. Snape
(not a good sign). Next to them sat his puffy-eyed, tear streaked face
boyfriend.

Up to this point
their relationship had been a secret. Especially since both of their families
were warring with each other. They had been dating since the end of their fifth
year, and finally, made it official in their sixth year. Sirius smiled in
memory at that night, Severus blushing like the virgin he was, but shook his
head clear when Severus� father initiated the discussion at hand.

�A Black!� he spat.
�I should have known.�

�Excuse me?�

�How could you have
stooped so low as to let yourself get knocked-up by him of all the bloody people-�

�Octavious
that is quite enough,� the Headmaster interrupted. �Sirius, Mr. Snape is just a
little stressed right now.�

�Well, that�s no
bloody reason to go off on me. So, now that I�m here, mind telling me what the
devil this is all about?�

�Of course
my boy. As you
know, Severus has been our resident Potions professor for the last year �
almost two years in fact � and Madame Pomfrey has brought it to my attention that after his most
recent visit to her, that due to certain potions he must take, Severus will
have to have a substitute instructor.�

�Professor what does
it has to do with�me?� Sirius questioned again. Concern
growing for his boyfriend.

�Stop beating around
the brush Albus! What the Headmaster is trying to say
Black is � that you have somehow managed to impregnate my son!�

*Blink, blink*

Sirius chuckled. �You
must have been inhaling too much Wolfsbane, Snape.
There�s no bloody way for Severus to get pregnant unless we were soulma-� but Sirius caught himself as Severus began crying.

�I understand what
you�re about to say Sirius. However, you know that it is possible,� Dumbledore
said referring to an unnamed source.

�Okay.� Sirius ran a
hand through his tousled hair while he comforted Severus with the other.

�Well, Black, since
you were man enough to get my son in the condition he�s in now, I�m sure you�re
man enough to take responsibility and marry my son.�

�Fine.�

�Sirius?� Severus spoke for the first time.

�I said fine.� He
turned to his boyfriend holding his hand. �I�ve been wanting
to ask you to marry me since we�ve been going out, but there was never the
right time or that special moment. Then every thing came up with Jamie and work
� I just forgot.�

Sirius reached inside
his robe and pulled out a small black velvet box. Still sitting beside Severus,
Sirius opened it. �I know I�ve been a pain in the ass since day one and tried
to kill you numerous times � more than any of us can count. And you�ve put me
in the hospital wing on many occasions as well, but know this Severus � I will
never forsake you when you need me. Especially now.
Will you do the honour of marrying me?�

Severus launched
himself at Sirius knocking both of them out the their
chairs. �Yes, love. Yes, I�ll marry you.�

Later that night,
Dumbledore performed a private ceremony legally binding Sirius and Severus. Octavious and Serenity stood as witnesses for Severus.
Professor McGongall was a witness for Sirius.

oOo End flashback oOo

The house-elves served them
sandwiches and soup along with pumpkin juice. The couple basked in each other�s
warmth. Hands roamed freely, seeking out tender spots with loving caresses when
Severus winced in pain.

�What?� Sirius jumped up in alarm.

Immediately, the Potions master grabbed his husband�s
hand, placing it on the side of his stomach. Underneath Sirius� splayed fingers
small ripples could be felt.

�They moved!� he said in awe. Severus nodded his head,
pulling his lover down for a kiss, and for the rest of the night they laid in
bed enjoying the slight bumps and kicks of their children.

oOoOoOo

A few days later, Lucius met with Calhoun again before
leaving on his business trip. Calhoun explained to Lucius about what he had
discovered at his family tree. As it turned out, James was indeed Lucius� soul
mate (much to the pureblood�s relief). Apparently, they were bonded back in
1978.

Since Lucius didn�t know of the bond he would not be
held accountable for any affair outside of the bond. James, however, could file
charges against him for infidelity. Narcissa was
another matter. Since she had pursued Lucius using unconventional forms of
magic to lure him out of a secure, stable relationship with his bond mate, she
more than likely would serve some time in Azkaban, and if that happened Lucius
would automatically get full custody of their child.

oOoOoOo

The night before Lucius� departure to the States
proved to be more stressful on the pureblood than James.

�Stop Lucius. You�re making me
nervous. Not to mention the hole you�re wearing in the floor. I will be fine.�
James placed his hand over his bulging stomach. �We will be fine. Sirius
promised to drop in from time to time. Now, go to sleep, love.�

Lucius huffed, but complied and settled into the bed
alongside James. He heard James� breathing even out, but he didn�t fall asleep
right away. When he did the sun was coming up.

- 4 months later -

The school year passed uneventfully. James had left on
maternity leave a week before the official end of term. He had also found out
that Severus was expecting twins two months after he was to give birth. James
was so happy for his friends that he nearly went into labour early. Doctor
Bloom cautioned him about over-doing things and to keep his excitement level to
the bare minimum or else he would have to confine James to his bed for the remainder
of his pregnancy to ensure the safety of the baby.

James was not to exert himself because Lucius was not
there to feed him magically.

The afternoon was a bit warm for James. Earlier his
stomach had been cramping since he woke. He was reading his weekly letter from
Lucius during breakfast. The business deal that Lucius was conducting was
proving to be a bit of a bear for the former Slytherin.
The owner�s daughter of the Wizarding Company Lucius
wanted to invest in was trying her best to seduce the blonde and Lucius was
getting fed-up at the woman�s tactics.

James was giggling at the harshness of his lover�s
words when there was a knock at his front door. He slowly got onto his swollen
feet to answer it when a cramp made him double over, nearly dropping him to the
floor.

�James?�

/Oh, god not now/ He wasn�t
ready to deal with his parents so early in the morning.

�I�m in the kitchen, mum!� he called out.

�Hi sweetie. Your dad and I-�
Mrs. Potter saw sweat beading across her son�s scrunched forehead. �James,
where�s Lucius?�

�Out of town,� he huffed easing himself back into his
chair. �He�s suppose to be coming back some time next
week.� His breathing was out in short gasps.

�Harold, you fire call Lucius. Honey, where is he
staying?� Mrs. Potter asked.

�The�Lexington,� James
answered, whimpering with each step as his mother lead him to his bedroom
upstairs.

�Contact Lucius dear, then contact Doctor Bloom and
Madame Pomfrey,� Mrs. Potter instructed, guiding her
heavily pregnant son to the bed.

�Tell them hurry up and get over here.�

�Why?� Mr. Potter asked, unsure if he should leave his
son.

�James is in labour.�

Finally after months of negotiating the terms of the
business contract, Lucius was able to get some sleep. He was leaving at first
light and was thankful that he didn�t have to travel back by plane. He hated
flying like a Muggle even if he was riding first
class. Lucius would always get ill. Upon his arrival at LAX (1), Lucius
threw-up in a rubbish
bin. The airline stewardess took pity on him and escorted him to first
aid.

The Muggle doctor was nice
in a condescending way. He promptly told Lucius that he was highly accessible
to motion sickness � so travelling by plane
should be limited as much as possible. The aristocrat thanked him and tipped
the man a hundred dollars. Lucius� knowledge of Muggle
currency came from his father. Lucien had dealing across the globe, mostly in
the States and he made sure that Lucius knew the difference between a penny and a dollar. Lucien taught his son on how to tip,
when to tip, and when not to tip.

Lucius gripped his pillow tighter as flashes of lively
hazel eyes invaded his dreams. Soft murmuring of his name was being called, trying to lure him away from his beloved James.

�LUCIUS MALFOY!�

Lucius shot up in bed, his wand at the ready.
Bleary-eyed, Lucius stared out into the emptiness of his hotel room.

�Lucius Malfoy!� someone was calling him.

Climbing out bed and slipping into a black silk robe, Lucius walked into the living
room of his suite. The fireplace was lit with green flames. Harold Potter�s
head was floating in the middle with a stressful look on his face.

�Do you have any idea what time it is?�

�No, and I really don�t care.�

�Now that you have awoken me,
what do you want?� Lucius asked as he sat down in front of the smokeless fire.

�It�s James.�

Lucius was about to ask what
had happened, but
the senior Potter responded before the question was voiced.

�He went into labour this morning.�

�But?�

�But there�s something wrong with the baby. You need
to come back straight away.�

Lucius was out of his seat before Mr. Potter finished
talking. He quickly threw on his trousers and shoes. He frantically searched
for a shirt that didn�t clash too badly with the rest of his clothes. Grabbing
his wand and cloak, Lucius went to the lobby explaining he had an emergency at
home and needed his belongings
sent to Severus Snape at Hogwarts. The manager of the hotel directed Lucius to
their private emergency floo rooms.

Stepping inside the wide mouthed
fireplace, Lucius called out, �Godric�s Hollow!�

James and he had discussed awhile back that James
would give birth at home. Going to St. Mungo�s would
rouse the media to them before Lucius had time to get everything straightened out with Narcissa.
He eventually told James that he had married her, unknowing
that he was bonded to him. James took the news
rather well. As predicated, James� Gryffindor loyalty
caused him to hug Lucius repeating over and over how he�d wished he had gotten
pregnant sooner so none of this would be
happening to them.

Lucius stumbled into the living room of the Hollow to
be greeted by a very pregnant Severus. Sirius inclined his head in way of
greeting the blond. Lily Evans was curled up on
the sofa half-asleep. Sitting with Sirius and Severus was Lupin
and Black�s younger brother, Regulus,
whom he had the pleasure of meeting nearly five months ago; he assumed James�
parents were either upstairs or in the kitchen.

The only Marauder missing was Pettigrew. The others
hadn�t seen nor heard from their short fat friend since they had left Hogwarts.

Shouting from upstairs jarred Lucius.

�Where is he, dad? You told me that he was on his goddamn way five fucking minutes ago. If he
doesn�t get here in the next three minutes, I going to cut off his fucking
balls and serve them to him on that silver platter he�s so damn fond of!!!�

The others in the room didn�t wish to trade places
with the blond for all the Galleons in Gringott�s. As
soon as Lucius walked through the door his ears were assaulted
with, �You! You, fucking bastard! You did this to me!�

Sirius burst out laughing followed by the rest of the
friends gathered together. Ten minutes later the
incessant wails of a baby could be heard throughout the house. Apparently, the
baby turned at the last moment making a natural delivery impossible.

Doctor Bloom was making preparations to cut the baby
out when Lucius emerged. Madame Pomfrey immediately
positioned Lucius behind James. Lucius supported his lover�s back and splayed a
hand across the distended belly. The jolt of energy and magic ignited on
contact. Underneath Lucius� hand, he could feel the abrupt movement of his
child.

The motion caused James to hiss and grit his teeth.
Soon he was having the uncontrollable desire to push. From start to finish,
James was in labour for eighteen hours. A birth certificate magically appeared
beside Doctor Bloom as he was deposing of the after birth. The parchment
automatically filled in all the required information except for the newborn�s
name.

�James,� Lucius whispered to his partner.

�Hmm?�

�We need to name him, love.�

James was so sleepy. He couldn�t be bothered with
naming his son right now.

�Jay, please. We can�t call him baby Malfoy forever
love. Come-on, please.�

The medi-witch gifted them
with a now clean and fresh smelling newborn infant. Pomfrey
and Bloom gave the couple a few minutes alone, and went down stairs to inform everyone about the baby.

�He�s beautiful,� James said unwrapping
his baby fully. Ten little fingers and toes stretched and shook. A tuff of messy raven hair topped a perfect
round head. Small pink lips opened slightly. His
eyes were closed in a peaceful slumber.

�Harrison,� James suddenly
said.

�Huh?�

�Our son�s name. Harrison Lucius
Malfoy.�

�How about Harrison James Malfoy?�

�Why?�

�Narcissa might become
suspicious if the son she�s carrying for me doesn�t have at least my first
name.�

�Okay, Harrison James Malfoy it is then.�

James settled down in bed the exhaustion of birthing
catching up to him. He snuggled down into the plush covers of his comforter. As
his brain was shutting down there was a troubling voice inside his mind trying
to tell him to do something important concerning his Will, but he was so tired
that the thought was pushed aside for later.

Some time after James fell
asleep Lucius came downstairs showing his friends his newborn son. They �oohed� and �awed� at the little guy
until he finally opened his eyes. Usually, most newborns had a bluish
tint to them until around six months when their
natural colour comes out, but Harry (as James called him for a nickname) had
vivid silver � quicksilver to be exact.

�Oh, my god, Lucius�� Lily said out loud.

�Should his eyes�� Sirius added just as stunned.

�Be that colour?� Regulus
finished.

Lucius growled at them. The only ones who didn�t say
any thing were Severus and Remus.

�Of course they�re supposed
to be that colour you imbeciles,� he hissed protecting Harry from being ogled.

�Lucius, it�s time for the baby�s feeding,� Mrs.
Potter called.

oOoOoOo

By the next morning everyone was exhausted. They had stayed up half the night to admire James� baby which
wasn�t a very good idea. Mrs. Potter had woken them
early for breakfast letting James and Lucius to sleep in. An owl arrived for
Lucius about noon
requesting his presence at St. Mungo�s. Lucius kissed
his lover good-bye promising to come back as soon as he could.

The following day, James was nursing his son when his
mother served him breakfast in bed for the second day following his son�s
birth.

The morning edition of the Daily Prophet unfolded when
James moved his glass of apple juice, the
front-page headline caught his attention:

NEW HEIR TO THE
MALFOY FORTUNE BORN

Lucius
Malfoy, son of the wealthy aristocrat Lucien Malfoy, was seen entering St. Mungo�s hospital late yesterday afternoon. Several
witnesses reported that a patient by the same last name checked in around 1 o�clock. As it
turned out said patient was none other than Narcissa Black, daughter of Nathaniel and Jessica Black.

It had been rumoured that
Lucius had been dating the former Miss Black
during Hogwarts and the couple were married in a
secluded ceremony nearly a year ago. From the union the couple was blessed late
last night (August 1^st) with a son�

James stopped reading. He was boiling mad. No doubt
Lucius was trying to do damage control. Narcissa did
the wrong thing by tipping the paper.

oOoOoOo

At the same time Lucien Malfoy crumpled the Daily
Prophet. He didn�t care for his family business to be aired like someone�s
dirty laundry. He knew Lucius didn�t tip the paper. His son was equally as
private. Of late, Lucien noticed that Lucius was spending less and less time at
home. He finally decided to talk to Narcissa about
what was going on with her and Lucius� relationship.

/He�s having an
affair/ she said choking back tears.

When Narcissa said
that he immediately knew. Lucien did the next best thing � he went to
the Potters (unannounced of course) because going to Lucius would prove to be a dead end.

oOo Flashback oOo

May 1980

The senior Malfoy
growled to find the Potter household empty. The butler
told him, that Mister and Madame Potter
went to visit their son at the Hollow, and wouldn�t be returning until
tomorrow. Lucien remembered being there once
when the boy (James) received his inheritance that was about the same time he
told his son to call off the fruitless liaison with James.

The elder Malfoy
arrived at the simple two-story house, Lucien sneered in distaste. He couldn�t
understand why his son would ruin his marriage. Narcissa
was seven months pregnant and she didn�t need the added stress of Lucius
cheating on her. He told Lucius to keep James as a lover right from the very
start but Lucius refused.

The grass was wet
from the morning dew. Birds sung their morning praise as the sun begun to rise.
Lucien rapped on the door with a gloved fist, silver eyes taking in the grove of trees surrounding
the home. He knocked again. In the distance of the house he heard a muffled,
�coming�.

Surprisingly enough
it wasn�t the senior Potter who opened the door.

�Good morning
Potter,� Lucien said as he by passed a shocked James.

Lucien remembered being at Godric�s Hollow once, when
the boy (James) received his inheritance, which was about the same time he had

marriage. Narcissa was seven months pregnant and she
didn�t need the added stress of Lucius cheating on her. He had told Lucius to
keep James as a lover right from the very start but Lucius refused.

The grass was wet from the morning dew. Water dripped from
leaves running off like a broken faucet. Birds sung their morning praise as the
sun begun to rise. Lucien rapped on the door with a gloved fist, silver eyes
taking in the grove of trees surrounding the home. He knocked again. In the
distance inside the house he heard a muffled, �coming�.

Surprisingly enough it wasn�t Harold who opened the door.

�Good morning Potter,� Lucien said as he by passed a
shocked James.

�Uh, hello Mr. Malfoy.�

James was cursing himself in addition to smacking himself
upside the head, and the reason behind the self-abuse � he forgot to replace
the concealment charm before walking downstairs to answer the door.

�Where�s my son, Potter?� Lucien asked as he looked around
walking deeper into the house taking in some of the dust on the picture frames
in the entryway.

�Asleep,� James deadpanned.

�I�m going to get straight to the point. I want you to stay
away from my son.� Lucien turned abruptly to face a still alarmed James.

�Your son is a grown man and can do as he please, Mr.
Malfoy.�

�At the expense of ruining his marriage?�

James said the most selfish thing ever, �I�m the one who
should be married to him not her thanks to you.�

�There is or was no purpose for Lucius to marry any one who
couldn�t produce an heir!� Lucien barked slamming his fist down to his side.

By this point Lucius came downstairs wiping the sleep from
his eyes. He had been sleeping soundly until he heard the raised voices. With
each step he took bones popped as he worked out the kinks from the night, blond
hair sticking up in some places as he tried to reestablish a ponytail. Lucius
wore dark green silk pajama bottoms with a matching silk robe that he left open
to show his taut hairless chest and washboard abs.

�Is that all you think about? There�s more to life than
Sickles and Knuts. No wonder you�re a hateful man.
You�re determined to make your son�s life just as miserable as yours. You don�t
care about Lucius or how he feels. You only care about yourself and the good of
the Malfoy name and fortune.

�Have you even taken a good look at your son lately,
Lucien? The man has lost weight. Lucius is barely even eating let alone
sleeping and if this keeps up � your son will be dead before he�s thirty. Hell,
he might even drop dead before he�s twenty-five.�

James was panting from his rant, gripping his tummy, which
thankfully went unnoticed by the older Malfoy.

�Father.� Lucius made his presence known once he saw
James in pain.

�You go home now to your pregnant wife and I�ll forget
about this little transgression,� Lucien warned.

�I am home with James. I don�t care about my inheritance
any more � it�s not important to me.�

In a fit of rage, Lucien struck out at Lucius but James
anticipated the hit, therefore jumping in between father and son. Falling to
the tile floor, James cradled his distended belly. Lucius dropped along side
his lover.

The pregnant youth began whimpering and complaining about
abdominal pains. Lucius lifted James and took him to their bedroom, as Lucien
stood transfixed in the kitchen at the love and affection his son was showing
to the former Gryffindor.

Immediately, Doctor Bloom was called. After an hour of
tending to James, Doctor Bloom was in the kitchen with Lucien and Lucius as
well as the recently awoken Harold and Jamie. Lucien was curious as to what was
making Lucius particularly pull his hair out.

�We were lucky this time. I�ve managed to stop the bleeding
and contractions. However, because of the force of impact when James hit the
floor there is some bruising. I recommend total and complete bed rest with only
trips to the bathroom with help for at least two to three weeks; and above all
no sexual intercourse. If you have any questions later fire call me at the
office,� Doctor Bloom instructed and left.

Lucius never gave his father a second thought as he passed
Lucien on his way to check on his lover. A short time later, Lucien made his
way to the master bedroom after Jamie told him how to (Just up the stairs, four
doors down to your left).

No words could describe the scene before Lucien. His son
was whispering in the other man�s ear, gently petting dark wild hair while at
the same time Lucius caressed the swollen stomach. A soft silver glow lit the
room as Lucius did this � feeding his magic to his baby and partner.

�You�re soul mates,� Lucien stated dreading his son�s
reply.

�Yes,� Lucius answered ending the feed.

�I didn�t know,� Lucien whispered mentally kicking himself.

�Because you didn�t ask, Father, my life has been a hellish
nightmare since I�ve been with Narcissa, and James is
right � had you bothered to look you would have known that I was aging, Father,
more rapidly than I should,� the younger blond snapped.

It was true. Witches and Wizards aged quite more slowly
than Muggles, and if one were lucky enough to find
his or her soul mate (like James and Lucius) aging would slow drastically, but
since James and Lucius were apart both were suffering. James was in a state of
depression. He refused to eat, he barely slept, he was withdrawn from others
and his magic was waning.

Lucius on the other hand had bursts of uncontrolled magic,
acts of aggression with the intent to harm as well as loss of appetite, getting
very little to no rest. Probably within a year both would had committed suicide
from going insane.

Then Lucius learned something about his Father � something
rather shocking�

�I will not begrudge you of your life mate, since I was not
denied mine.�

�Huh?�

�Have you ever wondered about your Mother?� the Senior
Malfoy asked, a solemn look crossed his face before his mask slipped back in
place.

�I use to but I figured you would one day tell me.�

Lucien smiled briefly at his son�s foresight. �We had you
when we were eighteen. I had found my soul mate while still attending Hogwarts,
my third cousin in fact. We had no idea why we were attracted to each other
until our parents told us, and because of the soul bond all related blood ties
ceased to exist, so we were like strangers coming together instead of relatives
committing incest. We were legally bound in our seventh year at Hogwarts over
the Christmas holiday by Headmaster Dippet. Your
birth was the most joyful time of my life and the saddest.�

�What happened to her?� Lucius asked curiously.

�Male pregnancy is dangerous for young wizards � that�s why
it is recommended to wait until you�re at least twenty-one to start having
babies,� Lucien explained pausing to let his words sink in. �But who has the
time to cast a contraceptive charm in the heat of the moment.�

Lucien didn�t have the balls to tell his son that he found Muggles contraceptives embarrassing and messy to use.

�Dear Merlin,� Lucius whispered staring into mirrored
quicksilver orbs.

Malfoy senior turned to look out the window to hide the
water that was building in his eyes. His voice was full of emotion. �I will
acknowledge all responsibility to your break-up with James and my dealings with
you marrying Narcissa. On that regard you will not be
held accountable for infidelity.�

�What happens now?�

�Well, once I announce publicly about your bond to James � Narcissa and I will go to Azkaban,� Lucien said turning to
face his son, tears pooling in his quicksilver orbs but not spilling.

�Wait before you have a press conference.�

�Why?� Silver orbs narrowing with suspicion.

�Wait until Narcissa has the
baby. James is due around the end of July. At least this way our son would be
my true heir. If the child Narcissa carries is born
first she could get everything if anything happens to me or to any of my kids.
I will not put them in danger, and news of this magnitude would definitely send
her into labor early.

�Agreed.� Lucius put his hand out to shake on the
bargain but instead he was embraced by his father.

Lucien promptly took his leave. He came close to crying in
front of his son. His husband would have been so proud of Lucius. Forced to
grow-up quickly, Lucien raised Lucius to be an outstanding young man. He
finally let a sob escape once he was in the safety of his limo and cried for
the first time in twenty-four years.

�Oh, Lucas, how I miss you.�

oOo End flashback oOo

Gentle breathing filled the private
hospital room as Lucius rocked his newborn son. A tuff of white blonde hair
stood out from underneath the blue warming blanket. Small pink lips opened
letting air pass through. Eyes were closed in sleep.

Narcissa had turned her back on the infant. She was just happy that
the agonizing ordeal was over with. Disgusted by Narcissa�s
lack of attention for the baby, Lucius immediately called a midwife to tend to
the baby needs seeing how his mother refused to breastfeed.

�I will not have my perfect perky breasts be pulled on for
no good reason other than sexual gratification,� Narcissa
told Lucius once she regained consciousness. Needless to say he was not pleased
by her behavior, and restrained himself from killing her right then and there.

The tall aristocrat cradled his
child lovingly, remembering holding Harry very much the same way while waiting
for the nurse to return with a warm bottle of milk. He turned when the door
opened but it wasn�t the nurse.

�Father? What an unexpected surprise.�

�Indeed. Have you seen this
morning�s paper?� the older blond grounded out clearly agitated.

Lucius could tell that his father
was not happy. He could hear Lucien�s teeth grinding together.

�No, why?� he replied.

Lucien plucked his grandson out of
Lucius� arms (not bothering to ask what the child�s name was) and handed Lucius
the Daily Prophet. He read the headline then flipped to page three to continue
the story. Once finished the younger Malfoy was seething. He turned to face the
unsuspecting sleeping woman in bed.

�Don�t say a word, Son. I will
handle it. You need to keep a clear head. Take your son to the nursery and meet
me at the manor � there are some other things I wish to discuss,� Lucien said
eyeing Narcissa warily. �What did you name him?� A
light bulb lit in his head as he remembered whom he was holding.

An ear splitting smile (as rare as
it was) stole across Lucius� face. �Draconius Lucius
Malfoy.�

oOoOoOo

Over the next several months Lucius was
in and out of court for custody of his son, and as Lucien predicated, he along
with Narcissa got a one year sentence to Azkaban for
interfering with a soul bond. On those grounds alone Lucius was granted sole
custody of Draconius.

Soon afterward, Lucius decided to move
in with James, leaving Lucien the Manor once his prison term was up. Also to
make their family life complete, Lucius and James were legally bound and
married.

oOoOoOo

Time past by at an alarming rate
for Lucius, it was hard to believe that a year ago he was bottle feeding and
holding his sons. He thanked Merlin for James because as a first time father he
didn�t think that he would had been able to handle one baby, let alone two,
without his lover�s help. Lucius had also noticed how similar his son�s were
and yet so different. Harry and Draco (James couldn�t resist a shorter version
of his step-son�s name) were like night and day.

Harry had wild messy raven hair
like James, and Draco had blond nearly white hair like Lucius. Draco was very
outgoing. He babbled a lot and started walking at nine months. He breastfeed up
until he was six months, whereas Harry continued until he was one.

Also, Harry was very shy. He
seldom �talked� to his Mother or Father but when alone with his brother it was
endless chatter.

James was so worried about Harry
not walking that he took him to the doctor numerous of times but Doctor Bloom
continued to tell the paranoid parent that Harry will walk once he was ready;
and ready he was, a week before his first birthday the little tyke stood up on
wobbly legs and staggered to his Mummy.

The former Gryffindor was so
ecstatic that he fired called Lucius at work not realizing that his lover was
in a meeting with some very important clients. Fortunately, they too had
families and reminiscenced when their children took
their first steps.

Overall life was going well for
the Malfoy family, but as the saying goes �all good things must come to an
end.�

oOoOoOo

Halloween, 1981

If there was one holiday Lucius
hated other than Valentine�s Day it was Halloween. He had no pleasure in giving
sugary treats to undeserving children but he promised his husband that he would
do so for the boys.

He and James were going to Malfoy
Manor to hand out sweets to the young witches and wizards, because in previous
Halloweens James didn�t receive many callers due to the legend about the
Hollow, which instilled the fear that the area was haunted.

Unfortunately, much to Lucius�
disbelief, James and Harry both fell ill, which was rare for wizards to catch
any type of Muggle illness; but since giving birth
James� body had changed.

Now, Lucius was stuck passing out
sweets to the little bast�er
ah darlings, and being ever so cautious with the threat of Voldemort
looming over his husband and family, he felt that it would be best to have at
least one of Harry�s godparents help James while he and Draco were out.

Luck was with Lucius on this night, Lily showed up to see her little man. Lucius thanked
god for such a small mercies because Sirius was not the best of influences on
either of his children.

oOoOoOo

The grandfather clock chimed the eight o�clock hour signaling the height of excited children. Lucius was
closing the door after another trick-or-treater when
he collapsed in the foyer. Baby Draco cried for his Father, kneeling next to
him gently patting his face trying to wake him.

At the same time Lucien was in the
middle of a fire call with Severus. The news was not good.

oOoOoOo

�Enervate!� the elder Malfoy cast
upon his son after ending his call with Severus and rushing to where the baby
was screaming for his Father to wake up. Lucien then quickly retold what
Severus had said, �Godric�s
Hollow has been attacked.�

The former Slytherin
left Draco in his father�s care and ran out of the manor to the Apparition
points not bothering with a cloak. His heart was working over time, hastening
the blood through his veins. He grabbed his wand and vanished from the wet
grass in the chill of the night.

oOoOoOo

There was not one living soul
around except for the Ministry Law Enforcement combing the surrounding yard and
the medical personnel. The neighbors kept to themselves mostly, which was a
good thing. Lucius fell to his knees upon seeing the house of his beloved �
their home. Hovering above in the eerie silence of the night was the Dark Mark.

The footfalls of someone running
up the drive caught the blond�s attention.

�YOU!� Lucius snarled whipping out his wand from his cane.

�Me?� Sirius held up his hands.
The aristocrat was notorious for casting Unforgivable Curses first and hiding
the body later and asking no questions, Sirius was not about to find out if it
was true. He kept his hands visible and made no sudden movements.

�You bastard! How could you? How could you sell your best friend to Voldemort?�

�Lucius, I swear I didn�t.� Sirius
shook his head vehemently.

�Don�t give me that, Black. You�ll
pay and I�ll make sure you�ll never see the light of day again.� Lucius�
nostrils flared and his eyes a lit with liquid fire.

�No, Lucius. You know that I would
never betray my friend,� Sirius said. �James is my brother.�

Giving it some thought, Lucius
conceded but still held the other at wand point. �All right, Black, start
talking. You have five minutes.�

�James asked me to be his Secret
Keeper when he was still pregnant with Harry, but I told him no. I wouldn�t be
a good choice and everyone knew that because Voldemort
knew I�m his best friend. So I told him to use Peter. Unfortunately, he didn�t
tell Dumbledore of the change. The only other persons who knew were Severus and
Lily��

�And Lily was in the house,�
Lucius finished lowering his wand. �Okay, Black you need to get out of here �
right now. No telling when Fudge-�

But it was too late. Aurors popped up around them with Fudge leading.

�Thank you Mr. Malfoy for
capturing Mr. Black,� Fudge declared as Aurors placed
Sirius in bonds.

�I don�t know what you�re talking
about Fudge. Sirius is a personal friend of mine. I suggest that you release
him,� the blond replied slamming his wand back into its casing.

�Sorry Mr. Malfoy but I can�t do
that. You see our office was just flooded with owls and calls from our Muggle contacts that Sirius Black was seen in Down Town Muggle London. Wand drawn pointed at Peter Pettigrew-�

�That�s a lie!� Sirius shouted.

�What the hell are you talking
about?� Lucius questioned the whole situation wasn�t sitting right with him.
This was too well planned. Sirius was well known as a prankster. Most of his
brilliant work was half-ass. Sirius didn�t think though the majority of the
pranks including the one where he had nearly sent Severus to his death. He
still couldn�t figure out why his best friend would marry an idiot like Black �
the pure-blood obviously must be a good fuck.

�Your so-called friend Mr. Malfoy killed 13 Muggles and a Wizard by the name of Peter Pettigrew. The
only thing that was left of the man was his finger,� Fudge said with a smug
grin.

However, all discussions were cut short
when the Emergency Medical teams emerged from the house. The first team exited
with a stretcher.

�Oh, god! No! Nonono! Nooo!!!� Lucius cried out
running toward them.

�Excuse me sir but I�m sorry
you�re not allowed only family-�

�I�m his husband for Merlin sake!�
Lucius yelled as he clutched the black plastic body bag not seeing the other
team walking out of the house.

�Lucius.�

The blond looked up at the call of
his name. �Headmaster Dumbledore?�

The elder wizard said nothing as
he gestured to the small bundle in one of the medi-wizards
arms.

�Harry!�

�Da-da,�
the toddler cried out reaching for his Father. �Ma-ma where?�

The poor little guy was shaken up
badly. Lucius just hoped this would not have a detrimental effect on his son.

�Oh, God! Harry, you�re all right,� Lucius said as calmly as he
could. He checked his son over making sure Harry had all fingers and toes and
no loss of limbs. He was feeling his son�s head when, �Ouch! Da-da, hurt
head.�

Harry started whimpering then
began crying again as pain laced through his head. Lucius saw blood leaking
from under Harry�s fringe. He carefully lifted the matted hair to discover a
jagged scar in the shape of a flaming red lightening bolt.

oOo TBC oOo

A/N: Whoa! That was a lot. Does any one
believe that James and Lily are dead? I would love to hear your take on it.
Okay, so now you know Harry and Draco are half brothers. Have we seen the last
of Narcissa? Well to find out stay tuned for the next
chapter.

Nemesis

oOoOoOo Teaser for Chapter 6 oOoOoOo

Dumbledore�s eyes sparkled with
some fondness. �Yes, I must go now myself. Oh, Lucius a word
please.�

The aristocrat led the Headmaster
out of the sliding glass door taking a path leading to the front of the manor.

�Sirius is under house arrest but
I�m afraid that I cannot keep him out of Azkaban. Fudge is pushing for the
maximum.�

�I will try to aid you in anyway I
can. How is Severus?� he inquired. Lucius hadn�t seen or heard from his friend
in over two weeks since Halloween. He was still dealing with the loss of James.

Dumbledore�s smile faltered. �Go
see him.� He shook Lucius� hand and Disapparaterd
after he passed the wards. Lucius sighed; he hadn�t even realized that he
walked the older wizard to the edge of the grounds.
