Chapter five

Harry slipped into the dark bedroom, their dark bedroom he corrected with a small smile, and made his way over to the huge bed. Lucius was lying on his side facing Harry's side of the bed, his eyes shut and his breath deep with sleep. The silk coverlet that went on top of the duvet to provide a little more heat through the cool nights was the only thing covering Lucius, he had stripped down to his shirt and trousers.

Harry slipped on top of the bed and slipped across so that he could reach Lucius. Gently he started running his fingers through Lucius's blonde hair, the ability to be able to run his fingers through the blonde silk was addictive, partly just because he was able to do so, partly because Lucius's hair was so beautiful and partly because he knew the blonde enjoyed the sign of affection. He hadn't been able to stop himself from gripping or running his fingers through Lucius's hair that day in the ministry, as his body arched into Lucius, as their bodies joined in the most pleasurable way, he had barely let go of his hair.

Lucius murmured lightly in his sleep, shifting into Harry's touch and moving a little closer to him pulling Harry back out of his thoughts. Smiling he stroked the skin around Lucius's temples before bending down and brushing a kiss to the skin.

"Lucius…Lucius…Lucius love you need to wake up," Harry said softly going back to brushing the skin.

"Mm, Harry?" Lucius grumbled not opening his eyes and shuffling even closer.

"Yes, come on, you need to wake up and take another headache potion," Harry urged him.

"Hmm, what time?" Lucius frowned rolling slightly more onto his back but still didn't open his eyes.

"Its eight love, you need to take another potion, here sit up a little for me," Harry slipped his hand behind Lucius's head after unstoppering the vial. When Lucius lifted his head enough Harry pressed the vial to his lips and tilted it until it was all gone.

"Urgh," Lucius scrunched his nose at the taste.

"Here, its mango juice, Marcus said it was your favourite," Harry quickly pressed a glass to Lucius lips and watched concerned as he gulped it down thirstily. "Do you want some more?"

"Hm, no it's ok," Lucius licked his lips as he settled back down. Harry reached over to set the glass down on the bedside before turning to run his fingers through Lucius's hair again.

"How are you feeling?" Harry asked concerned.

"Tired, head's still a little sore," Lucius sighed finally cracking his eyes open a little. "You said its eight?"

"Yes, Marcus brought you through when you fell asleep on the sofa," Harry smiled.

"I promised to take you out," Lucius groaned, actually attempting to sit up.

"Shush, shush, shush, its alright, I've had supper, as to my dietary plan. We can go out another night, you're not well," Harry pressed his hand against Lucius chest to get him to settle back down.

"Lie with me? Just for a little?" Lucius asked holding tightly onto Harry's wrist.

"Of course, just one second," Harry slipped off the bed and stripped out of the jumper he had put on once the night had cooled. Lifting the coverlet he slipped under and wriggled across to Lucius's warmth. Sleepily Lucius reached out and wrapped his arms around Harry pulling him completely against him and burying his nose into the crook of Harry's shoulder. Harry slipped a leg between Lucius's and settled his hands on Lucius's broad chest, feeling the comforting thump thump thump of his heart against his hand.

"M' sorry I snapped earlier," Lucius said sleepily.

"Lucius don't worry about it," Harry sighed.

"No, you'll leave and…don't want to lose you…or baby…you're holding my heart in your hands…scared," Lucius squeezed Harry tighter to him as he spoke. Harry wondered if he would be admitting these things if it wasn't for the headache potion and disorientation of the migraine, or if he would even remember all this in the morning.

"Lucius we're going to argue, we'll have our moments, but I'm not leaving you over something as simple as you snapping at me once. Lucius your holding my heart as well, we're not going anywhere. I've made my choice and I'm damned if I'm going to let you go now I have you," Harry said.

"M' not good enough for you," Lucius sighed, the wealth of pain and sorrow in his voice enough to make Harry's heart clench, the doubt in Lucius even more so.

"Lucius I do not want to hear you talking like that. You are good enough for me, and you, Lucius Malfoy, you are what I want, do not think any different!" Harry said firmly. Cupping Lucius's face he turned his face up to brush tender kisses along Lucius's jaw before brushing their lips together gently. "Now go to sleep, you need to sleep," He brushed his hand along Lucius's face before going back to carding his fingers through Lucius's hair. Watching as he relaxed and slipped quickly back into sleep.

He slipped briefly out the room to tell Marcus he was going to go to bed, collect his book before sliding back into bed. He conjured a small lumos spell, just bright enough for him to read by without straining his eyes, but not enough to trigger the light sensitivity that Lucius had shown earlier, before settling down to carry on reading while running his fingers through Lucius's hair soothingly for the both of them.

Lucius shifted and tightened his arm around the warm body pressed to his own, he had an arm wrapped around his chest, the other over his waist with his hand resting on the swell of Harry's stomach. He had apparently been sleeping with his face buried into Harry's shoulder, one leg slotted firmly between Harry's legs in a mirror of how Harry had lay down with him the night before.

He mentally groaned when he remembered the things that he had admitted and said out loud the night before to Harry, although he couldn't stop the smile that crept across his face as he remembered what Harry had said in response.

Stretching languorously as much as he could without waking Harry he reached for his wand and cast a tempus spell, blinking shocked when the smoke formed the time 10:00. He had barely ever slept in this late, even when he got a migraine, which he was happy to note was gone.

"Mm…Lucius?" Harry yawned shifting in his arms.

"Sorry did I wake you?" Lucius winced gently rubbing the bump under his hand.

"Its alright. How are you feeling?" Harry asked concerned rolling over enough so he could see Lucius.

"Much better, thank you for looking after me," Lucius smiled warmly, feeling Harry's breath catch because of how close they were in response.

"You don't need to thank me. You weren't well, of course I was going to look after you," Harry spoke as though anything else hadn't occurred to him. Looking into those honest, beautiful green eyes Lucius was reminded of the time he had caught dragon fever and been desperately ill, Narcissa had left to stay in Italy the minute she saw he wasn't well and hadn't returned until a month after he was fully recovered 'just in case'.

"What was that for?" Harry gasped when Lucius pulled away from the kiss he hadn't been able to hold back.

"I can't thank you?" Lucius tried to say seriously, though the corner of his mouth was twitching with his amusement.

"If you want to thank me like that, then sure any time you want to," Harry grinned cupping the back of Lucius's neck and tugging him down into another kiss.

"I don't know what I did to deserve you, but I'll do my best to make sure we are the happiest we can be," Lucius promised softly into Harry's ear.

"And so will I," Harry smiled understandingly.

"Come on, shower and breakfast!" Lucius pushed himself up and gently tugged Harry into a sitting position when he grumbled. He grinned at Harry's laughter when he lifted him into his arms and carried into the bathroom.

"Lucius that tickles!" Harry snickered making a half hearted attempt to push Lucius's face fro behind his ear. Lucius was wrapped tightly around Harry as they walked down the corridor to the living room.

"Its about time you two got up," Marcus's grumble made Harry start laughing as they turned into the living room, but what he saw made him freeze. There were three other people in the living room besides Marcus sitting on the sofa. Harry automatically pressed back against Lucius suddenly feeling very nervous.

"Alexander?" Lucius exclaimed stepping around Harry and making his way over to the man who stood from the sofa with a smile. It was a little tight and unsure, but still filled with affection. Alexander was older than Lucius, Harry would say he was around forty. He had the typical Malfoy blonde hair, but his eyes were more of a grey side than Lucius blue.

On the sofa there was a young boy of around ten and an older man of around 20 who were clearly Alexander's children. They both had the same Malfoy blonde hair, but their eyes were a light brown shade, lighter than Marcus's. The older had a narrow face and higher cheekbones that the other Malfoy men, the younger had a button nose instead of the slightly pointed Malfoy nose.

Harry was standing unsurely in the doorway as Lucius and Alexander hugged, suddenly, and for the first time since he arrived, really feeling awkward and uncomfortable in the house. This was Lucius's family and from what he had heard between the brothers Lucius held a great deal of respect for Alexander. Just as he was wondering whether he should leave them alone to give them some privacy, feeling as though he didn't really belong here, Marcus was beside him.

"Come on Harry," Marcus took Harry's arm before he could argue and led him into the room.

"I don't think…maybe I should just…"

"Hi I'm Gabriel," the young boy grinned holding his hand out to Harry, his brown eyes shining warmly as he looked up at Harry. He had moved without Harry really seeing or taking him in.

"Gabriel, don't just pounce on someone like that. Hello I'm Darius," The older set his hands on his younger brother's shoulders with an exasperated smile.

"Oh, erm nice to meet you both. I'm Harry," Harry shook Gabriel and Darius's hands. He jumped slightly when Lucius's familiar warmth settled against his side as he wrapped his arm around Harry's waist.

"Xander, this is Harry. Harry this is my cousin Alexander," Lucius smiled down at Harry, but he squeezed him gently, comfortingly.

"Its nice to meet you," Harry said politely holding out his hand.

"Hmm, you really believe that this is not some sort of trick?" Alexander raised an eyebrow at Harry's hand before looking at his face with cold grey eyes. Harry shrank back against Lucius's side shocked and feeling hurt creeping in.

"Alexander," Lucius snapped angrily startling Harry even more than Alexander's cold eyes did.

"What? You really expect me to believe that Harry Potter just happens to end up 'pregnant' with your child, falling in love with you, and despite the years that myself, Marcus and Victoria have been begging you to divorce Narcissa you just decide to do it within days of him telling you he's pregnant! I mean come on! How likely is it that after one time together he manages to get pregnant? You really believe that he honestly is falling in love with you,?" Alexander snorted. Harry could feel Lucius's wince never mind see it, the words hitting hard. That mixed with the things Lucius had said to him only the night before had Harry's temper flaring before he could think it through properly. Quickly placing his hand over Lucius's on his waist when he felt it loosening Harry glared darkly at Alexander.

"Firstly claiming to be pregnant when I'm not would be pretty stupid considering I have an appointment with the healer in two days time - I think it might be figured out then. But also Lucius tracked me down using his connection to the baby's magic! I didn't ask Lucius for anything, I didn't expect him to want to have anything to do with me and the baby, the only reason I got in contact with him was because I was legally obliged to. And as to my feelings for Lucius, yes while you are clearly concerned for him, frankly it is none of your business, you don't know me so don't you dare claim to know what I can and can't do. It may be quick in some peoples eyes but Lucius has been a constant in my life for years, and while it may not always have been a good constant he has been there, and along the way I have developed feelings for him. Admittedly not deep ones until recently. But I am falling in love with Lucius and you can think what you like about me but don't you dare doubt that!" Harry glared darkly at the visibly gob smacked man as his magic gave a threatening crackle around him.

The moment was broken when Marcus started laughing and clapped Lucius on the back.

"Oh I do like him, well done," Marcus snickered resting his hand on his knee to support himself. He huffed when Harry reached back and smacked his arm, his glare turning onto him instead. "Hey don't glare at me, I like you!"

"I've never seen anyone talking to father like that before," Gabriel said in a child like whisper to Darius, meaning that the rest of them could hear him.

"I don't think anyone has ever spoken to father like that," Darius said with clear amusement.

"Harry…" Lucius said unsurely not really knowing what to say.

"What? I'm not going to let him speak like that I don't care who he is. He has no right to make comments about relationship before knowing even half the facts or spending time with us!" Harry huffed crossing his arms. Lucius smiled bending to kiss Harry softly.

"Calm down love, I know, and I know how you feel," He said softly brushing his thumb over Harry's cheek.

"Hmph," Harry shrugged but turned back to glare at Alexander who was still looking stunned at the way he had been spoken to. He wouldn't allow anyone to let Lucius's doubts creep back in.

"I erm…you searched the baby out through family magic?" Alexander asked.

"Yes, the baby is there," Lucius snapped, his hand automatically brushing along the swell of Harry's stomach that could just about be seen through the looser top that he had chosen to wear.

"If you only contacted Lucius because you had to about the baby, how can you claim to suddenly have feelings for him?" Alexander asked gaining some of his confidence back.

"I didn't want to tell him because I have feelings for Lucius. I was expecting him to tell me that he wanted nothing to do with me and the baby, so I didn't want to tell him and face that rejection, especially after getting to have just a little time with him. And I'm making no claims," Harry's glare darkened again.

"Please you are…"

"Alexander if you say one more word I will be asking you to leave my home and will only allow you to come back when you have calmed down and can speak civilly. You are upsetting Harry, and stressing him out and that isn't good for him or my nephew!" Marcus interrupted coolly, no longer amused as he stepped up to Harry's free side and placed his hand on his shoulder.

"You really believe him?" Alexander gestured to Harry shocked.

"At first I had a lot of doubts, but after seeing them together over just a few days…my doubts are decreasing rapidly as each day goes by. Harry has genuine feelings for Lucius, that I can not deny," Marcus shrugged.

"And Narcissa?" Alexander was visibly deflating.

"Why would I stay with her, when I had the option of a loving relationship with someone I am falling in love with, and the option of the family I have always wanted with the man that I have been developing feelings for. Harry gave me a reason to want to enjoy life instead of merely living it," Lucius rubbed his forehead tiredly causing concern to flash through Harry.

"Is your headache coming back? Do you need another potion?" Harry focussed on Lucius. His annoyance fading in his concern that Lucius's migraine would flare back up, he had been in a lot of pain the night before.

"No I'm fine, I just had this argument often enough with Draco yesterday," Lucius smiled.

"I do not have any other siblings, Lucius is like a younger brother to me. I did not mean to offend you Harry, it was nothing personal, but Lucius's happiness and safety are the most important thing to me," Alexander said quietly getting their attention back on him.

"Then we have a shared common interest. Lucius and the baby are my number one priorities, that isn't going to change," Harry said firmly.

"Your friends? The Weasleys? Your godfather? They aren't going to be happy about this, will that statement remain the same when their opinions have been made," Alexander's tone wasn't accusing or attacking this time, merely worried.

"Lucius and the baby come first, as does my choice to finally do what I want for the first time. Lucius and the baby are what I want, and no one, friends, adoptive family are going to change my mind on that. They either accept or they don't, but I won't be leaving Lucius because they don't like the situation," Harry squeezed Lucius's hand glancing up at him when he was finished.

Lucius's silver blue eyes were locked on his face, his eyes were scanning Harry's face before he broke into the most breath taking smile Harry had ever seen. He felt his heart literally jump in his chest.

"Thank you," he said softly.

"I think, perhaps father you were wrong," Darius said pointedly.

"Perhaps I was. And you did manage to get him to finally get rid of that shrew," Alexander smiled just slightly, but it was enough to make Harry hope that this wasn't going to cause problems.

"Divorce, no claims, no return dowry, nothing," Marcus added with a smirk.

"Nothing?" Alexander rose his eyebrow at Lucius.

"Nothing," Lucius nodded.

"Well, you really are interesting. We have been trying to get him to just divorce her for years," Alexander grimaced.

"Does this mean Cyst is gone?" Gabriel asked curiously causing Harry to burst out laughing.

"Cyst?" he asked through his laughter.

"Nickname for Narcissa, no one really liked her," Darius shrugged.

"Come, we need to get you some breakfast," Lucius kissed Harry's forehead. "Are you joining us?" He asked Alexander. While the offer was made, it was said in his Malfoy ice tone.

"Gabriel has started eating like a horse, and I think I could use something else to eat," Alexander nodded, his eyes a little sad.

They all trekked through to the dining room in silence, Harry really didn't want to know what Hermione would make of Marcus's House Elves, they were harder working than all the Hogwarts ones put together and from what he could figure out Marcus only had five of them. By the time they got to the dinning room there was already a full selection of food laid out, enough for ten people at least. Harry quickly settled next to Lucius and poured a glass of orange juice before he knocked back his morning sickness potion before drowning the taste with his juice. He hoped that the morning sickness was going to fade soon as, since Lucius had come to the hotel to pick him up, the nausea had gotten a lot easier.

Everyone was silent as they put together a plate for themselves, Harry picking a bowl of fruit salad before putting together a cheese, banana and chocolate sauce toasty. After a few bites of his toasty to calm his suddenly hungry stomach he blinked when he looked up and found everyone staring at him.

"What?" He looked between Lucius and Marcus confused.

"I think I prefer your lime ice cream and cucumber craving," Lucius cleared his throat eyeing the toasty on Harry's plate.

"How far along are you?" Darius asked with slight amusement.

"Erm, eleven weeks now," Harry smiled.

"So that's nearly three months?"

"Yes," Harry nodded before taking another bite and hiding a grin as Marcus, Lucius and Alexander winced.

"It seems that we're going to have an influx of Malfoy children," Alexander said softly but Lucius and Marcus's eyes widened shocked.

"Victoria?" they asked in unison.

"Oh Merlin no, Gabriel is enough of a handful!" Alexander snorted, chuckling at Gabriel's offended 'hey'.

"Lucian. We found out a months ago but we wanted to keep it quiet until the three month mark just to be sure. Lucian is my husband," Darius said to Harry seeing the slightly confused look on his face.

"Oh congratulations then," Harry said honestly.

"Lucian has developed a craving for pickles dipped in cherry sauce," Darius wrinkled his nose slightly.

"He will be happy to know that he's got someone else to talk this through with. He's a little nervous as its our first baby," Darius smiled.

"That would be nice as well. How long have you been together?" He asked curiously.

"We met in our second year at school, we went to the one in Ireland. We got together in our fourth year, married in our seventh," Darius said with a small happy smile.

"And their still all gross and lovey dovey," Gabriel groused looking horrified enough to get a laugh from Harry.

"How old are you Gabriel?" Harry asked curiously.

"11," Gabriel grinned proudly, puffing his chest out a little.

"So you'll be going to school this year?"

"Yup, I have all my school supplies and robes and everything already," Gabriel said, clearly excited.

"And everything is already packed and ready to go. He can't wait to leave his poor old parents," Alexander pouted.

"Thank Merlin there are babies on the way, they might be distracted with them for a little while," Gabriel said to Harry getting a grin.

"Harry," Marcus interrupted the conversation pointing to Hedwig who was clearly making her way towards Harry.

"Wait," Lucius gripped Harry's wrist when he reached out to catch her. Looking at the blonde startled he watched him conjuring a stand for her to land on. Looking slightly confused she did so, hooting at Harry confused.

"Lucius, what's wrong?" Harry asked softly, turning his hand into Lucius's.

"I want to check to make sure there's no tracking charms got passed our wards, or that the letter isn't a portkey or anything like that," he explained eyeing Hedwig and the letter nervously.

"Allow me," Alexander swept back his sleeves and drew his wand before starting to cast various revealing spells on a slightly impatient looking Hedwig.

"Alexander is an expert in warding and spells connected to them, including revelation spells," Lucius explained to Harry as they waited for Alexander's conclusion.

"Aside from a secrecy spell that ensures no one but…Harry can read the letter it and the owl is clean," Alexander confirmed after ten minutes. Harry smiled amused when Hedwig hooted and ruffled her feathers indignantly before holding out her leg to Harry.

Nervously he took the letter and after sucking in a deep breath opened the envelope and slid out the letter, seeing Hermione's hand writing made his heart beat faster.

"Well…wasn't expecting that," Harry said shocked when he had finished.

"What? What did they say?" Lucius asked nervously.

"Well obviously they aren't exactly celebrating, they're pretty shocked and confused, can't fully understand my decision. Mrs Weasley went into her normal shrieking and wailing, saying I was a baby still not exactly shocking. But…Hermione, Ron, Ginny, Fred, George, Bill, Sirius, Remus, Mr Weasley, Mrs Weasley, Kingsley and Tonks will all support me, and Kingsley cast a spell ensuring that there was no way that any of them would be able to tell anyone outside of the group that was there. So we are safe from Dumbledore for at least a little while longer," Harry said with a sigh of relief.

"Dumbledore?" Darius frowned.

"He won't be happy that Harry is pregnant, he sees him as some sort of, weapon in the war. He would make Harry abort the baby, and if that was too late give it up once he was born. Especially considering I am the father," Lucius sighed.

"He's a danger to you. You're in hiding here," Alexander realised.

"Yes," Harry nodded hesitantly.

"Darius and I will bind Harry to the wards around the house and strengthen them. I'll also make a personal ward charm as soon as possible, the fact the baby has Malfoy blood will help the protection wards even further," Alexander promised.

"Thank you," Lucius smiled slightly at his cousin, placing his arm protectively over the back of Harry's chair.

"I respect the choice you are making a lot more now that I understand. You're taking a huge risk and drastic change to your life to bring this baby into the world, to protect the future member of our family. To give Lucius something that he has wanted more than anything for years. And you gave him a chance despite your past together, I owe you an apology, and a lot of respect. Perhaps we could start over again?" Alexander asked quietly.

"You're worried about Lucius and that he is going to get hurt again, I understand that I do. But I will prove to you that you have nothing to worry about, and I hope we can get on," Harry said awkwardly but honestly.

"It seems you are going to be family, I hope we can get on as well. Just…look after that baby and do not hurt my cousin, please," Alexander sighed.

"I'll look after them both," Harry said firmly.

"Then we're going to get on. Victoria is going to like you," Alexander smiled, softening his whole face and making Harry realise how alike the brothers Alexander was.

"I already like you a lot, you're pretty cool, even if you are a bit mushy with Uncle Lucius. It was totally cool how you told father off, mother is going to want to see the pevensive of that," Gabriel grinned breaking the moment and getting chuckles from them all.
