Chapter eight

"Draco there is a letter for you," Blaise said walking into the bedroom that Draco 'used' whenever he stayed over. Draco was lying on the bed on his back, his arms behind his head and frowning at the ceiling. He had been in this mood since Lucius had visited, clearly at a loss as to what the heck to feel or think. It was driving Blaise mad and breaking his heart at the same time.

"Is it from mother?" Draco groaned. "I swear she has sent me more letters in the last two days than she has in my entire life,"

"Its not another pleading letter from her no, I don't actually recognise the writing," Blaise frowned looking over the envelope before holding it out to Draco as he crawled onto the bed and settled beside his hip. Frowing slightly Draco took the letter and flipped it to look at the writing on the front.

"Its from none of my family," He said after a moment of going through them all.

"Then open it and find out who it is from, nothing harmful can get through our wards," Blaise smiled stroking his fingers through Draco's hair and watching as he leant into the touch.

"I'm not sure I can take many more surprises this week," Draco said dryly flipping the envelope. "The way this is going it will be a letter from Gringotts saying some obscure bonding contract has been found and I have to marry a Weasley,"

"Don't be so melodramatic dear," Blaise rolled his eyes.

"Just saying," Draco grumbled before he broke the seal on the envelope. Both of them froze at the sound that filled the bedroom from the envelope, they stayed were they were for a good fifteen minutes just listening to the sound.

"Is that…" Blaise finally spoke sounding a little awed. Draco quickly opened the envelope further and pulled out the letter inside before carefully laying down the envelope making sure it stayed open so the sound would carry on.

"Its…its from Potter," Draco finally said, his eyes not taking in the rest of the letter, only the signature at the bottom of the admittedly short letter.

"What? What does he say?" Blaise asked wide eyed.

"I don't want to read it," Draco scowled throwing the letter onto the bed and closing the envelope shutting the sound off dead.

"Draco…" Blaise sighed.

"He's splitting up my family, I want to hear nothing he has to say the little…" Draco scowled at Blaise when he was stopped from finishing the sentence when he quickly put his hand over his mouth.

"Draco whatever history you have and whatever is going on right now he is the bearer of your brothers. And you need to think this through. He's split nothing up, your parents have never been happy together, and when your father arrived the other day he looked a hell of a lot happier than I have ever seen him," Blaise said softly.

"Saint Potter managing to make everything better by spreading his legs, your supposed to be on my side not his! He's turning everyone against me, how long do you think it will be before he convinces Father to forget all about me and concentrate on his perfect new little family," Draco sneered slapping Blaise's hand away.

"Its because I am on your side that I am saying this. Even if Potter would say that, which I doubt, Lucius would never go for it. He loves you, you are just determined not to see it!" Blaise sighed.

"Shut up Blaise," Draco rolled onto his side. Gritting his teeth Blaise reached across and grabbed the envelope opening it again so the rhythmic sound echoed around the room again, quickly holding it out of reach when Draco snatched for it.

"This isn't the sound of the end of your family, it's the sound of a new one, a bigger one with the potential to be happier. Do you think Potter, who has no parents of his own and has showed no real vindictivness towards you is going to try and pull your father away? And he's not exactly having an easy time of this either, he's sixteen and is pregnant with twins by someone who has been the 'enemy', he's had to run away from all his friends and family because he wanted to keep your brothers safe, and he gave Lucius a chance when he didn't have to," Blaise attempted to reason with Draco.

"Perfect Potter always so wonderful," Draco sneered. "Close that damn envelope!" He shouted.

"No, because I know why its upsetting you, its what you can have, it's a chance at a family if you just accept it, if you swollow your damned pride and superiority and stop trying to punish your father for something that you know was out of his control!" Blaise shook his head.

"Potter…"

"This has nothing to do with Potter and you know it! Draco Lucius has tried to get close to you, he came to you the day your grandfather died for Merlin's sake, but you just continual reject him and push him away, even though you want to have that relationship with him, even though you know he did the best he could, even though you know what your mother did to him. You've been hurt, but he's been hurt a lot longer than you have, and your hurting him just as much as anyone else, and yet he still came round hopeful that you would be happy for him, hopeful that this would mean maybe you would eventually give him a chance," Blaise gripped Draco's chin when he went to turn away, making him look at him. "You're not just punishing him Draco, your punishing and hurting yourself by doing this,"

"You know nothing," Draco hissed yanking his face away and lying down with his back to Blaise.

"I know you Draco," Blaise shook his head before reaching for the letter. "Dear Draco…"

"Don't you dare!" Draco hissed spinning around but Blaise fended him off again.

"Dear Draco,

I know you probably don't really want to hear from me right now, I know this is all a lot to take in, especially my reltationship with Lucius. But I felt like I should write to you and explain a little from my side of things. I know you are probably questioning our relationship and thinking that I am somehow playing Lucius, Merlin knows your family did, but I honestly have very strong feelings for Lucius and I can see a long and happy future with him, and the twins, and you if you can find it in you to let go of our past.

Myself and the twins can never replace who you are in Lucius's life, you are his first born son, and he loves you so much, but I hope you understand that he has enough love in his heart for all four of us. I don't want to make things worse, and I really hope this letter doesn't do that…but Lucius misses you a lot, and he is worried about you - even if he won't say it out loud - and how you are coping with all these changes in your life. I know he would like to talk to you, or at least hear from you.

Anyway I know that he sent you a letter informing you that you have twin brothers on the way, Merlin help us all, but I thought you might like to hear their heartbeats. We got to hear it at the check up yesterday. Next time we will be getting to see them, perhaps you could be there for that check up? Lucius would like that, and so would I. Whatever has happened in the past, we are tied together through Lucius and the twins now, I would like for us to try and get on and maybe form some type of friendship, for our sakes and for Lucius's. Please consider it, I hope you are alright and coping ok with all this. It's been one hell of a week huh?

Yours Harry,"

"Bloody hell," Draco choked as his eyes whelled up. Sighing Blaise dropped the letter and crawled next to Draco burying himself close and wrapping his arms around the blonde as he nuzzled into his chest. Holding on tightly and making what he hoped was soothing sounds Blaise listened to the choked, muffled sobs that Draco had been holding in for too long as the blonde teen's frame shook heavily.

Harry sighed contently as he was slowly pulled from sleep, his body feeling warm and relaxed where he was snuggled underneath the covers and on the comfortable matress, not to mention the warm, firm body that was wrapped around his own. Lucius's large hand was resting over the bump of his stomach where their twins were resting, his leg slotted between Harry's in a way that seemed to be becoming the automatic way they would settle in sleep.

However as his mind surfaced fully from sleep he became aware of something that was not the normal for them became aparent to Harry. Biting his lip he tried not to move as he took in the situation and tried to figure out the best thing to do.

Lucius was pressed chest to feet against him, and a part of Lucius was digging firmly into Harry's bum making him bite his lip. His own body was reacting to Lucius's, and he knew what his body wanted, but he also knew that they weren't ready for that step, they needed to be more comfortable in their relationship before they did took that step again. That didn't stop the excited hum going through his body or the urge to grind back against Lucius's very hard erection that had featured in his best dreams since the Ministry.

He sucked in deep breath as he clenched his eyes shut, fighting against his instincts as memories of that evening flashed behind his eyes, the memory of Lucius's hands running over his body eagerly, the feeling of his lips running over his flushed skin, the feeling of their bodies pressed together, Lucius pressing into him slowly, carefully so Harry was arching into him with a loud groan of desire, the feeling of their fingers entwined as Lucius held them either side of Harry's head as hepounded into Harry's body driving him higher and higher to pleasure.

Unable to stop himself Harry let out a small groan as he pressed back into Lucius, his breath catching as he imagined what it could be like without the layers of clothes between them.

"Harry?" Lucius groaned into Harry's ear, his arm tightening around Harry, his hips giving his own involuntary thrust agaisnt Harry. "Merlin I'm sorry!" Lucius tried to untangle himself from Harry but found the teen moving quickly to twist in his arms and wrap his legs around Lucius's not letting him get away.

"Its not your fault," Harry smiled even though his body was still humming with arousal and being close to Lucius wasn't helping him control it.

"We said we would take it slow and I'm…I'm pressuring you I'm sorry," Lucius looked so upset that Harry wrapped his arms tightly around Lucius's waist and snuggled against his chest.

"Lucius you reacted during your sleep, to me I would hope, there's nothing wrong with that, I reacted just the same," Harry reassured him.

"Harry," Lucius's body finally relaxed enough that Harry could hug him properly.

"It's a good thing that we are clearly physically attracted to each other, or doesn't mean anyone is putting pressure on anyone, or that we need to rush into things," Harry smiled feathering kisses over Lucius's face to try and help him relax even more.

"I'm supposed to be older and wiser one, but I'm not used to having a proper relationship with someone I truly care about," Lucius tugged Harry closer and lsipped his leg between Harry's as his hand went back to the bump.

"So we'll both learn as we go along, there's nothing wrong with that," Harry smiled reaching up to wrap his arms around Lucius's neck.

"Can I kiss you?" Lucius asked rubbing his nose aginst Harry's cheek.

"You never have to ask," Harry chuckled brushing his lips over the sharp angles of Lucius's cheek bones already.

"I don't have to ask to kiss you, I can touch you whenever I want," Lucius smirked slipping his hand underneath the material of Harry's pyjama shirt and stroking gently up his back.

"That's called being in a relationship. Though going from the books with my hormones the way they are you could risk getting hexed," Harry grinned to show he was teasing.

"Worth the risk," Lucius shrugged before his lips found Harry's. Half buried underneath the covers with Lucius wrapped firmly around him, his tongue doing delightful things that made Harry's body shiver in pleasure as his hand gently caressed his back closed Harry's mind down until he was focussed souly on the feel of Lucius's lips against his own, the places where their skin brushed against each other, and the large warm pressence of Lucius so close to himself.

"Hmm, I love getting to wake up with you," Harry sighed after they pulled apart, shifting only slightly so that he could rest his head on Lucius's pillow to see him better.

"I think I've gotten too used to waking up with you in my arms, I would miss you if you weren't there," Lucius admitted as he ran his fingers through Harry's hair.

"Good job I'm not going anywhere then isn't it. Though…right now I really have to go pee," He groaned not wanting to move.

"Come on, bathroom, dress, breakfast," Lucius said amused gently tugging Harry off the bed.

"You two are in a good mood," Marcus said looking up from his paper as they walked into the dinning room. As with nearly every time he saw them Lucius was wrapped tightly around Harry, his normally unreadable eyes shining with affection.

"Well I got a lovely morning wake up," Lucius smirked.

"I do not need to know!" Marcus groaned holding out his hand as though it would stop Lucius talking.

"Don't wind your brother up, its nothing like that Marcus, don't have a heart attack," Harry shook his head. If anyone had told him a month ago that the Malfoy brothers interacted and teased each other the same way the Weasley brothers did he would have laughed at them.

"You received another letter," Marcus motioned to the plate beside Harry making him grin as he reached for it.

"That was a quick response," Lucius commented as he poured two glassess of orange juice for himself and Harry.

"I wish I could have seen their faces," Harry sighed wistfully as he opened the letter. Reading it he quickly began sniggering. "Oh I rally wish I could have seen their faces,"

"What?" Marcus and Lucius both asked curiously at the same time.

"Apparently Molly has completely freaked out about having to knit enough for two babies now and sent Bill, Charlie, Fred and George out to get as much wool as they could, Sirius passed out, Ron's been sitting muttering twins every few minutes, Remus had to be given a large scotch and Kingsley, Bill, Fred, George and Arthur all burst out laughing and are finding it very funny," Harry read out the section from Hermione amused. "Aside from that they all say congratulations,"

"They seem to be taking it very well," Marcus stated, looking unsure how Harry would take it.

"I was expecting a little more of a freak out over this from them all. But Hermione said that they understand that this isn't something they can change my mind about and it was simply down to whether they want to be part of my life or not," Harry shrugged.

"And they know this how?" Marcus asked curiously.

"Family is more important to me than anything else, the babies will naturally be placed above eveything else, and they'll know that if Lucius is who I have chosen, and him being the babies papa then they won't shift me," Harry explained as he busied himself with filling a bowl with a mixture of fruit, putting a couple of pancakes on his plate before putting strawberries and chocolate sauce on it. "What?" He asked confused when he looked up to find both Malfoy men staring at him.

"You say it so matter of factly," Lucius shook his head, his eyes locked fondly on Harry's face.

"It is," Harry smiled leaning over to kiss Lucius before quickly focussing back on his pancakes.

"You're so matter of fact," Marcus chuckled amused.

"Was that too blunt?" Harry frowned looking between them.

"No, we're just not really used to someone being so open and honest without caring how we could use the information against them. Not that we would," Lucius said quickly.

"I know you wouldn't. I'm just not one to hide who I am or how I feel about you," Harry told them before taking a bite of his pancake with a look of rapture as he chewed.

"Hungry?" Marcus asked him watching bemused as Harry put another forkful into his mouth.

"Mm hm, 'm really 'ungry," Harry nodded.

"You seem to be going for sweet things," Lucius noted refilling Harry's orange juice.

"Mm hm, I really fancy them right now…do you have any strawberry sauce," Harry asked licking his lips.

"You're going to put Lucius into overdrive if you carry on," Marcus smirked behind his cup.

"Huh?" Harry looked between the two brothers before noticing that Lucius was blushing. "Are you blushing," he asked completely amused.

"No!" Lucius flustered before quickly grabbing the small jug of strawberry sauce that had appeared on the table and passed it to Harry.

"So who is coming today?" Harry asked hoping to distract Marcus from Lucius who was starting to look a little put out. And because he wanted to know.

"Lucien, Darius, Victoria and Alexander, Gabriel is at a friends. I think Lucien is quite eager to meet you," Marcus told him as he watched Harry pouring a liberal amount of strawberry sauce over his second strawberry pancake.

"He and Darius are bringing over the catalouges and such that they have collected so far so that we can make a start on our own shopping," Lucius added.

"That's good, I don't want them to have the same of everything, they should both know that they are individual people from the very beginning," Harry absently scowled at his pancake.

"There sounds like there is a little more to it than you having just thought about it," Lucius said brushing his fingers across Harry's neck.

"Huh?" Harry looked up and between the brothers before smiling shyly. "Sorry, its just…I'm one of the few that can tell Fred and George Weasley apart, even Molly and Arthur struggle half the time, me, Bill and Lee Jordan are the only ones that can do it all the time. Everyone else just calls them 'the Twins'. I don't want our twins to just be one bulk thing, they're two people,"

"Don't worry, we'll make sure we can tell them apart, even if we have to buy different coloured braclets for them until we are able to tell them apart," Lucius promised.

"Good, I know how much it hurts the twins that even their mum and dad struggle to tell them apart. You should have seen their faces the first time they realised that I could tell them apart," Harry said sadly. They had been so shocked, and then spent half an hour making sure that Harry really could tell them apart.

"Don't worry, we'll all learn…mostly for fear of you going mama dragon on us," Marcus laughed lightening the mood.

"Ah that will be them," Marcus looked up as the fire flared green, Harry and Lucius looking up from where they were sitting on the sofa, Harry was turned with his back resting against Lucius's chest as they both read their own books. Lucius had a bowl of strawberries sitting in his lap that Harry was absently picking his way through.

Darius stepped gracefully from the fireplace before turning in time to assist who had to be Lucien as he stepped through, shooting his husband an amused and slightly exasperated smile as his arm was caught. Lucien was maybe just an inch smaller than Darius though he had a slightly slimmer build, he too had blonde hair though his was more of a golden blonde, and when he raised his eyes Harry was allowed to see that they were hazel. When he tugged his robes straight again Harry was able to see the bump his stomach made, clearly a little smaller than Harry's even though it seemed they were the around about the same amount of time along, though that would be the fact he was carrying two.

The next person through the fireplace was a very elegant, poised woman, Harry had a moment of thought that she was similar in attitude to Narcissa, only a brunette version, until she looked up and smiled sidely at himself and Lucius, her brown eyes warm and friendly as they settled on them.

"Ah you are the wonderful young man who did such a good job at telling my husband off," Victoria swept across the floor, kissing both of Harry's cheeks and hugging him tightly just as he made it to his feet. He froze in shock for a second before hugging her back. "I'm Victoria, none of that Mrs rubbish,"

"Its…its nice to meet you," Harry said slightly stunned at the greeting.

"Oh I have not seen that look on Alexander's face since I told him to ask me to marry him and not tell me I was marrying him," Victoria laughed.

"It was incredibly amusing," Lucien chuckled also walking over and holding out his hand. "I'm Lucien, its great to have someone that I can talk to,"

"Its nice to meet you as well, and I know what you mean," Harry laughed shaking the other man's hand.

"Its good that they will have cousins the same age as each other, my cousins were all much older or younger than me, and I had no brothers or sisters so it could get a little lonely," Lucien chattered excitedly.

"I hope they can be close, especially as they seem to be coming at the same time," Harry smiled happily. Lucien and he it seemed would definitely be getting on, the older man seemed to have a content, happy air around him that felt almost infectious, his hazel eyes were warm and welcoming as they scanned Harry's face.

"Ah yes, congratulations are in order," Lucius smirked stepping behind Harry. Feeling a little bemused at this sudden appearance of Malfoys Harry automatically placed his hand over the one Lucius slipped around his waist.

"The same to you, though I think yours is much more unexpected," Lucien laughed. "And twins on top of that!"

"Oh yes, Lucien ordered me to copy and bring all of these, anything that you want to order we'll order and pay for it and then you can transfer the money back into our account, that way no one will be asking why you are charging baby items to your account. Shops aren't bound to secrecy laws the way healers are," Darius explained holding out a large pile of catalogues.

"Oh thank you! I went into a slight panic when I realised that we would have to buy double the amount of everything!" Harry laughed before scowling when Marcus nimbly snatched the catalogues away before Harry could take them.

"Ah, you are getting the overprotective Malfoy treatment as well?" Lucien nodded sympathetically seeing the glare Harry was aiming at Marcus.

"Since the healer said that male pregnancies are a little more delicate than female ones," Harry sighed. "They tried to stop me picking up a jug at dinner yesterday," he said with a slight twitch.

"Yes, well we won't be making that mistake again," Lucius winced.

"Oh? What happened?" Victoria asked curiously.

"We both ended up wearing the contents of the jug. Then he just requested another jug from a house elf and poured himself a glass anyway," Marcus coughed.

"I'm blaming it on horemones," Harry snickered at the memory of the two covered in mango juice with stunned looks on their faces.

"Oh, you are going to liven things up aren't you?" Victoria was snickering behind her hand as Alexander looked as though he was fighting extremly hard not to laugh himself.

"Yeah, his magic also made sure that we couldn't just vanish the juice, it took me an hour to wash it all out my hair," Lucius said mournfully. "Stop snickering," He pouted at Harry who turned and buried his face into Lucius's shoulder as his shoulders shook with laughter. "I'm glad you find my pain so amusing, and you can stop laughing as well," Lucius huffed, but he buried his fingers into Harry's hair as he carried on laughing.

"At least it was tasty juice," Harry grinned lifting his head to press his lips to Lucius's.

"I prefer orange," Lucius smiled.

"Orange has bits in it, that would have been funner to pick out your hair," Harry shrugged tugging on the ends of Lucius's hair.

"If you're going to get mushy go into another room," Marcus grumbled.

"We need to find him somone," Lucius sighed.

"Definitely need to find him someone," Harry nodded.

"We have been saying that for years," Victoria nodded.

"Shall we sit down?" Marcus said with mock politeness. Grinning at Marcus Harry sat down slipping his hand back into Lucius's once he sat down next to him.

"So, have you told your family that there is twins on the way?" Alexander asked once they were all settled and Marcus's ever working house elves had produced tea for them all.

"Yes, apparently Harry's letter got quite the reaction," Lucius answered.

"I'm going to have to get that memory off someone," Harry sighed.

"His godfather passed out, Mrs Weasley has gone on a knitting frenzy and he seems to put the others either in fits of amusement or shock," Marcus snorted.

"Did you tell Draco?" Victoria asked softly. Harry quickly looked down into his cup feeling a little guilty. He had sent the letter to Draco this morning after breakfast without telling Lucius, he knew that him interfering could just make everything a whole lot worse, but he hoped his words, and hearing the babies heart beats would make Draco realise what he had to gain.

"Blaise said that Draco asked not to let me into Zabini manor, that he needed time to think when I tried to floo in to tell him, so I had to write to him," Lucius shrugged, how upset he had been over that only showing a fraction on his face.

"He'll come round, Draco has always wanted to have a brother, remember how jealous he got with me after you announced you were having Gabriel?" Darius smiled clearly trying to lighten the air.

"What happened?" Lucien asked curiously settling closer to his husbands side.

"Every time he saw Darius -which was quite often that summer as Cyst chose to go off on her own holiday - he kicked him in the shins," Alexander chuckled.

"My shins were black, blue, green and yellow all summer," Darius shook his head.

"He even asked if he could share Gabriel when he came," Victoria nodded.

"He'll come around Lucius, don't worry, just give him a little time," Alexander assured him.

"So anyway, Alexander told us that you discovered the Room of Desire does exactly what it says on the tin," Victoria smirked before laughing evilly as both Harry and Lucius blushed.

"If its possible for one person to be hurt by another, then it is possible for that person to be healed by another as well," Victoria smiled softly looking out over the beach beneath them.

"I'm sorry?" Harry asked uncertainly turning his attention back to her and away from where Lucuis, Marcus and Alexander were arguing happily with each other.

"I've known Lucius for nearly twenty years, I watched as he slowly stopped smiling as much until he barely smiled at all. The last six years he has been pulling away from us all slowly, Draco has grown more distant from him the older he gets, and Lucius just seemed…tired. And no matter what we said to him, how many times we pleaded or tried to convince him to divorce Narcissa he wouldn't do it, he just didn't see the point. But now, he's smiling again, even his eyes are smiling, and he is so relaxed and content. Its like in just a few weeks you have managed to wash away most of the damage that has been done to him, and from the look in your eyes you seem determined to wash it all away. I guess…what I am trying to say is thank you, thank you for making him smile again and see that he has a life that is worth living," Victoria finally turned to look at him, that same small, gentle smile still on her lips.

"I've not done anything," Harry protested blushing.

"You've done nothing, except give him everything. When you look at him he knows you see him, faults and all, and he knows you accept him as he is and want to be with him. Want to raise a family with him, and that is everything to him. My husband is starting to understand that. Its not the Malfoy way to jump in and make rash judgements unless it's a family member involved," Victoria chuckled as Lucien joined them.

"Amen to that, once you become a Malfoy - in name or not - you won't find a group of people that will guard you fiercer," Lucien agreed leaning back against the balcony.

"They have no need for money or more fame, and those three have seen enough greed and name grasping with their fathers to last a life time. They just want love," Victoria said quietly.

"I just want Lucius, and a happy, healthy family," Harry said his eyes glued onto Lucius's face where he was laughing. Sometimes the man really did take his breath away, his hair was practically glowing in the sunlight, his blue eyes shining as he laughed.

"I can see that, and so can the others," Lucien squeezed his shoulder making Harry turn to smile at him before he froze. Following his line of sight Victoria and Lucien both gasped at the familiar blonde figure standing in the doorway with Darius.

"Look who I caught flooing in," Darius said pointedly getting the attention of the other three men and stilling the conversation completely.

"I see you have made yourself quite at home with my family Potter," Draco drawled as his eyes scanned over them all.

"Draco," Lucius said softly but with a touch of warning as he stood and moved a few steps forwards.

"I want to speak with Potter," Draco interupted as Lucius went to carry on.

"What?" Lucius frowned looking worriedly at Harry whose face was perfectly calm.

"I want to speak with Potter, privately," Draco repeated firmly.

"I don't think…"

"Its fine Lucius, we'll be right inside," Harry gently squeezed Lucius's hand as he passed him before stopping in front of Draco. The taller blonde stared at Harry for a long minute before nodding and spinning on his heel to walk back inside. Darius shot Harry a worried glance as he walked passed him before closing the balcony doors behind himself.

Draco was standing in front of the fire pacing backwards and forwards, doing nothing to help the nerves Harry was already feeling. The knowledge that this was his school yard enemy and his lover's son mixing together difficultly. Sighing he made his way to the sofa and sat down waiting for Draco to break himself out of his fume as it clearly wasn't happening right away.

"How…" Harry perked up and looked at Draco to show he was listening when the silence was finally broken after nearly ten minutes of silence except for the clip of Draco's shoes on the floor. "How…How dare you! How dare you! You steal everything from me! Everyone has to prefer you to me don't they? Even my own godfather is more focussed on you than he is on me, and now if that wasn't enough you have to steal my father? What there was no one else that you could find to knock you up! I hate you Potter, I hate you! You have taken everything from me! You've broken apart my family! Your stealing them off me! Why? Do you hate me that much? Is that it? Is this some sort of punishment for calling Granger a mudblood? Or maybe those interviews in our fourth year! Why, why couldn't you just leave my father alone! He's been hurt enough without whatever you are trying to pull!" Draco yelled suddenly spinning angrily on Harry who sat calmly. He had had enough time to think this through, enough time to try and imagine how Draco would be feeling so that if this situation happened he could hopefully stay calm.

"Are you done?" Harry asked softly.

"What?" Draco gawped, clearly he had expected some sort of explosion back from Harry. But then that was how they did things.

"If you're finished then…I didn't do this to you, or to steal Lucius from you. It wasn't exectly planned, and I didn't really see myself at sixteen pregnant by a man who before this my relationship had been messy at best. Draco I'm not stealing Lucius or your family from you, they're right out there, they love you and want you with them just as much, this, me -the twins hasn't changed that, it just means that Lucien has someone to talk to about back pain and there will be two extra Malfoys. Lucius wants you here with him, he wants to be able to see you and talk to you about your brothers, he wants to share this with you in a way that he can't with me, because you are his son and that is something that can never be changed by anyone. Mine and Lucius's relationship is completely different to yours and his, and I am not trying to steal that - it would be a little gross if I was. And I don't hate you Draco, I dislike you and we have never really gotten on, but hate is much too strong a word. And I hope that maybe if we can understand each other a little better, without the masks and facades that we both wear in public maybe we can get on and be friends, for Lucius and the babies sakes. This isn't a punishment, I didn't plan this, hell if I had I like to think I would have planned it a little better than me having to sneak away to have the pregnancy confirmed before hiding out at a hotel until Lucius found me and then escaping the country. And as for hurting Lucius…that's the main reason your angry isn't it? I can't promise that this is going to go perfectly and that we'll all be one big happy family, families argue and fight, and admittedly my temper wasn't the best before it was nicely mixed up with horemones. But I really do care for Lucius, and I know you might not want to hear this but I am falling in love with him. I want us to raise the twins together, to be happy and to be a family for a long time to come, and you are part of that family as well Draco," Harry said softly.

Draco stared at him completely stunned and completely silent, again Harry waited in the silence as Draco took everything in. His eyes followed the blonde concerned as he made his way to Marcus's armchair and he collapsed into it, his face buried into his hands. He looked so lost that Harry felt his heart going out to him. It wasn't just him and Lucius whose entire world had changed and shifted with the twins conception.

"Why did you send that letter?" Draco asked, dropping his hands but keeping his eyes firmly fixed on the ground.

"Lucius was upset when Blaise said you had asked not to let him into the manor, and he and Marcus say all the time how much you have always wanted brothers or…brothers. I hoped hearing their heart beats, having some tenagable proof they're real might convince you to speak to Lucius again. And I wanted you to share that with us as you hadn't been here," Harry answered truthfully.

"Why?" Draco asked lifting his eyes. Seeing Harry's confused look he clarified. "Why want to share it?"

"You're their brother, whatever our history that isn't going to change, you deserve to get to share those moments as well,"

"What did you mean you had to sneak away, and escaping the country?" Draco asked after a moments thought.

"Dumbledore. If he found out I was pregnant, never mind the fact they are Lucius's he would find some way to abort them. I'm his pawn in the war, can't have me laid up pregnant," Harry sighed, his hand automatically going to his stomach as he thought over what Dumbledore would do.

"You ran to protect the babies? Is that why you're here?" Draco frowned slightly.

"Yes and no, I know what you are thinking, I wanted to protect the babies, Lucius shows up clearly with feelings for me and I worked that to my advantage. I have no way to prove that that's not why I am here, I can't say what I would have done had Lucius not shown up. I can only give my word that I am here because I have feelings for Lucius and I want to be with him," Harry answered.

"I don't get it Potter, I don't get why you are being so calm and accepting!" Draco huffed running his fingers through his hair.

"I believe me I panicked, I ranted and raved, I'm also fairly sure tat while I was on my knees hugging the toilet while puking my guts out I cursed Lucius quite imaginitivly if I do say so myself. I had two months where I suspected what was going on and then a week to come to terms with the knowledge it was happening. And believe me when I say I dreamt every scenario possible, though I truly didn't believe that there was any way Lucius would want me or the baby," Harry snorted.

"I…can…can I…" Draco made some confusing motions before Harry clicked on to what he wanted. Feeling a little unsure he nodded however and watched as Draco hesitated before walking forwards. Slowly Draco knelt in front of Harry and stretched out his hand as though worried he would be shoved away and hexed any minute. Harry made sure to stay as still as possible, watching Draco's pale and shaking hand closing the distance to settle over the bump of his stomach.

His heart warmed and settled into a more normal rhythm as he watched Draco's silvery blue eyes, so identical to Lucius's, warm up and then widen in awe as he stared at Harry stomach and where his hand was gently resting.

"I…my brothers…they're really in there," Draco smiled slightly, making his whole face relax and seem so much less pointed and disdainful, instead a look of almost childish awe appeared making Harry smile a little himself.

"Your little brothers," Lucius's soft voice brought both their attentions to where he was standing inside the doorway just closing the door behind himself.

"Father…" Draco went to yank his hand away but Harry pressed his own on top of Draco's maintaining the contact.

"You seem…happier with the situation," Lucius said nervously stepping hesitantly closer. Because of the hand still underneath his Harry could feel tenseness in Draco at Lucius's words.

"I'm…it wasn't…" Draco tried before stopping and scowling at where his hand was pressed to Harry's stomach.

"He was worried that this was some sort of con and I was going to hurt you," Harry explained gently tightening his hand around Draco's in a comfort that he hoped would be accepted. Thankfully Draco didn't move his hand but he lowered his eyes.

"Draco…I…is that true? Is that why you reacted the way you did?" Lucius asked slowly walking over and sitting next to Harry.

"I couldn't see how Potter couldn't be doing this to hurt you, I thought that he was using you, trying to rip us apart and he was going to leave you hurt. Until he sent the letter anyway," Draco said making Harry wince as Lucius looked at him.

"Letter?" he asked raising his eyebrow.

"I…ha yeah about that," He smiled sheepishly.

"You didn't tell him you were sending it?" Draco asked incredulously.

"I didn't want to get his hopes up," Harry shrugged before looking at Lucius cautiously. "Are you mad?"

"No, I understand why you didn't tell me, and you did it for me. And whatever you said it clearly worked, so thank you," Lucius smiled automatically leaning forwards and pressing a tender kiss to Harry's mouth. Harry pulled away when Draco's hand suddenly yanked itself from underneath his as Draco let out a noise like Crookshanks had when Ron accidentally kicked him.

"Oh geez, Merlin give me some warning!" He groaned covering his eyes. Harry giggled suddenly making both Malfoy men look at him amused.

"What?" He asked confused looking between them.

"You giggled," Draco teased.

"Manly giggle!" Harry shook his head.

"I don't think so love, it was pretty much just a giggle," Lucius chuckled before freezing when icy green eyes locked onto him.

"I'm pregnant, getting fat and lugging around two other people because of you and not allowed to lift anything, I feel enough like a girl!" Harry snapped.

"It was a very manly giggle," Lucius nodded quickly taking Harry's hand and kissing it. Huffing he nodded before turning to look at Draco, the smug look on Harry's face seemed to break Draco because the next thing he was kneeling on the floor laughing hysterically, thumping his fist down every now and then on the floor.

"Erm…" Harry looked from Draco to Lucius and back again, Lucius was looking as confused as he was.

"I'm s…s…sorry its just….ha ha ha…you're so f…funny together…I…I couldn't….couldn't see it until now….how you two would…would fit together….but…oh sorry," Draco laughed wiping his eyes as he set up.

"I think those are tears of relief," Marcus drawled closing the doors behind himself.

"Do you Malfoys know the meaning of a private chat," Harry sighed rolling his eyes when Marcus just flashed his teeth at him.

"Uncle Marcus," Draco smiled as he wiped his eyes dry.

"Its good to see you again Draco, and see you here. We heard the laughter and those cowards sent me in here to make sure I wasn't manical laughter of someone who had snapped," Marcus said dryly, opening his arms and hugging Draco tightly when he stood and went to him.

"No, I just suddenly realised that they actually go together, and are together, honestly," Draco smiled looking back over to where Harry and Lucius were both sitting looking a little bemused.

"Yes, they do fit don't they? It's a little like night and day. And Harry certainly wears his heart on his sleeve," Marcus chuckled looking over at them as well.

"Erm…" Harry looked from the two to Lucius who just shrugged at him.

"Sorry, its just…I just didn't see it, no matter hom much father had told me that he really cared for you and you for him, and you both wanted this, and even when Pot…Harry was saying it I just couldn't see it. But now, seeing you together, beside each other, weirdly you actually fit together," Draco said.

"Does this mean you're going to give this a chance? Give us a chance?" Lucius asked hopefully.

"I'm sorry I acted the way I did when you came round," Draco sighed dropping his head. Lucius squeezed Harry's hand gently before he let go and went over to Draco. Determindly he pulled Draco into a tight hug.

"You're here now and that's all that matters, you're my son and I will always love you," Lucius assured him.

"Blaise made me see what a complete and utter idiot I had been not even hearing you out," Draco sighed again. "I'm really sorry for the things that I said to you, I'm glad you're happy,"

"You weren't a complete and utter idiot, it's an incredibly different and unknown situation, I don't think there is any set way for a response or reaction. As long as you are listening now," Lucius shook his head finally releasing Draco.

"He's good for you," Draco noted with a faint tone of surprise in his voice.

"What?" Lucius asked confused.

"He's good for you, in just a week you're different, you've not just hugged me like that in years without building up to it, you're more, I don't know, open," Draco smiled slightly at Lucius who smiled tentatively back.

"Are you going to stay then?" Lucius asked hopefully.

"On one condition!" Draco said hautily.

"What?" Lucius asked cautiously looking a little worried.

"Blaise can come and stay as well," Draco smiled sheepishly.

"Blaise? Blaise Zabini from our year?" Harry asked curiously.

"He's my boyfriend," Draco nodded.

"I knew you were gay!" Harry said triumphantly.

"You're one to talk," Draco snapped defensively before blinking when Harry just waved him off.

"Nearly our entire year have been trying to figure out whether you are gay or not, the Gryffindors dragged me into it for my apparent 'gaydar' because Seamus says that any guy is gay or can be turned. I said you were gay but they still wouldn't believe me, I was right, they were wrong," Harry said smugly.

"My sexuality was of that much interest?" Draco asked surprised.

"Well it was so questionable one way or the other, and don't tell me that you Slytherins don't try and figure out who is with who and who is gay or not," Harry snorted.

"Well yeah…I thought I would have heard something about it though," Draco shrugged. "So can he come as well?" he asked turning back to Lucius.

"Not like we're lacking for space," Marcus snorted.

"Of course, I would like to get to know him properly anyway, its been years since I have spent longer than a few minutes with him," Lucius nodded.

"So how's the Weasel…leys and all that taking this? Have you told them?" Draco aksed turning back to Harry choosing to ignore Lucius's comment.

"Yeah they know, I wrote to them, they're all handling it pretty well actually, they don't really understand, only Neville and Hermione knew I had a crush on Lucius," Harry shrugged.

"You had a crush on me?" Lucius smirked as Draco said mournfully. "Weasel accepted this before I did!"

"He's starting to think things through a lot more," Harry nodded to Draco before turning to a smirking Lucius with a blush. "And yes I had a crush on you before, just because we didn't get on doesn't mean I didn't notice how good looking you are,"

"Really?" Lucius smirked stepping closer to Harry who was bright red now.

"We may want to go and see the others, they're like a couple of horny hufflepuffs," Marcus sighed dramatically.

"Marcus!" Harry and Lucius choked turning to glare at him.

"Urgh, that is not an image that I needed," Draco shuddered already making his way towards the doors. Marcus grinned at Lucius and Harry clearly pleased with himself before following, leaving the two of them alone.

"Are you sure you're not upset about the letter?" Harry asked worriedly reaching up to tug Lucius closer by his robes.

"You managed to convince him to come here and hear us out. Why the hell would I be mad? Thank you, you didn't have to do it, you have the amunition and posistion to drive a wedge between me and Draco, instead you helped him understand," Lucius smiled running his fingers through Harry's hair.

"I couldn't bear the look on your face when you tried to floo over," Harry shook his head brushing his fingers along Lucius's cheek before wrapping his arm around his neck and leaning up for a kiss that Lucius eagerly met, his arms wrapping firmly around Harry's waist and holding him to the warm strength of his body.
